Xiang Hui now already looked aged, but the petite and genteel aura she carried, along with those expressive eyes, were sothing few n could resist.
In the past, Pei Yu fell for her act the most, especially when Shen Wanqing was present.
She certainly knew Pei Yu did it to spite Shen Wanqing, otherwise, why would she expend so much effort against Shen Wanqing?
Of course, she also understood her own advantages and made good use of them.
Pei Yu shook his head, "No, I’m quite fine at the Shen Mansion."
Xiang Hui was taken aback, her smile slightly strained as she looked at Pei Yu.
Then she said with a smile, "Master, let’s go, you haven’t been ho for so long, all the children at ho miss you."
Pei Yu glanced at Shen Wanqing, seeing a smile on her lips.
"You should go back, you have so many concubines, and your children too; you can’t just ignore them, can you?"
There was a flicker of anger between Pei Yu’s brows, "Shen Wanqing, you really want to go back."
Shen Wanqing nodded very honestly, "Yes, you should go back."
It was Shen Wanqing’s sincerity in her eyes that made Pei Yu grind his teeth in anger.
"Alright, as you wish."
During this ti, he was being driven away by Shen Wanqing several tis a day.
He was inherently a bit proud, so naturally, he wouldn’t force himself to stay now.
After saying this, he imdiately called for his subordinates to pack his luggage.
Pei Yu left without turning back.
Shen Wanqing was delighted; she had been reading too many stories lately and had started secretly writing her own.
She even occasionally put her stories for sale at Pei’s Trading House.
However, she didn’t want Pei Yu to know.
Now that Pei Yu was gone, she huddled in Pei Shu’er’s study in the small courtyard and began writing.
Scheming over the plot from ti to ti with Pei Shu’er next to her.
She guessed that Pei Yu wouldn’t co back again.
She wasn’t feeling lost; rather, she felt relieved.
Just as she hadn’t had ti to fully exhale, Pei Yu returned again.
Pei Yu sat coldly next to Shen Wanqing reading a book.
Shen Wanqing had no choice but to start reading stories again.
Seeing that Shen Wanqing didn’t say a word to him, Pei Yu beca increasingly angry.
"Don’t you have anything to ask ? Like why I ca back?"
Shen Wanqing said, "Why did you co back?"
Even though it was according to Pei Yu’s suggestion to ask, Pei Yu was not pleased and beca even colder.
Shen Wanqing didn’t bother to say more, Pei Yu said, "Isn’t it because of you."
Shen Wanqing sighed, "It’s been over twenty years of marriage, haven’t you had enough?"
Pei Yu replied, "I’ve had enough, but I just can’t stand seeing you so eager to get rid of ."
Shen Wanqing sighed deeply, "Why bother, Pei Yu, you’re torturing , and yourself."
Pei Yu snorted coldly, "I feel like it."
Shen Wanqing looked at Pei Yu strangely, "You say, there are so many won at Pei Mansion, yet you insist on coming to bother , aren’t you just asking for trouble?"
Pei Yu couldn’t continue reading any longer, he flung his sleeves and left.
Pei Shu’er had been by the side, not daring to get involved in her parents’ quarrel.
Shen Wanqing ca close to Pei Shu’er, clicking her tongue twice.
"Shu’er, I think your father, it seems like the older he gets, the less sensible he becos."
Pei Shu’er covered her mouth and laughed, "Exactly."
When it ca to matters of affection, she was always sowhat ignorant, as if she didn’t have the nerve for romance.
So she couldn’t really comnt on Shen Wanqing’s feelings.
At this mont, just out of Prince Zhan Mansion, Pei Lingling glanced gloomily in its direction.
She wouldn’t let Pei Shu’er laugh for too long.
The loss she suffered today, she vowed to get back from Pei Shu’er.
Xiang Hui said, "Daughter, in the future, if you see Pei Shu’er, et her in the palace, don’t go to Prince Zhan Mansion on your own anymore."
Pei Lingling nodded, "I understand, Mother."
Xiang Hui looked at her daughter’s pale face and couldn’t help but reach out to touch Pei Lingling’s face.
"Darling daughter, when you go to the palace, rember to have the Emperor redress the injustice for you; don’t think about clashing head on with the people of Prince Zhan Mansion, alright."
Pei Lingling nodded.
Pei Lingling returned to the palace, feeling a bit of pain in her abdon, she imdiately had a palace maid bring Lin Shiyao.
"Divine Doctor Lin, why is your antidote not very effective?"
Lin Shiyao imdiately took Pei Lingling’s pulse, speaking only after a long while.
"You’re not only poisoned with the Five Poison Powder, but there are also other toxins, think carefully, have you been in contact with anyone else?"
Pei Lingling was silent for a mont, recalling the wrong teacup she drank, could it have been soone from Prince Zhan Mansion?
Then she looked at Lin Shiyao, to be honest, she also thought it might be Lin Shiyao playing tricks.
But at the mont, the two were in the sa boat and she really couldn’t say much.
Lin Shiyao took a whole day and night to detoxify the other poison in Pei Lingling.
Throughout the detoxification process, Lin Shiyao kept saying it was Pei Shu’er who did it.
Though Pei Lingling didn’t fully believe it, thinking of Pei Shu’er’s previous actions, she was filled with gnashing hatred for Pei Shu’er.
Now she only wanted revenge on Pei Shu’er.
But at the mont, she didn’t have many people at her disposal, all her people were detained by Prince Zhan Mansion.
When Pei Lingling’s na was chosen to spend ti with Yan Hengyin, she coquettishly said to him, "Emperor, Prince Zhan Mansion is too much, they have detained all my retainers."
As soon as she said that, Yan Hengyin asked, "Was it Tang Zan who did it?"
Pei Lingling shook her head, "No, it was Pei Shu’er."
Yan Hengyin was silent for about three seconds, then his eyes carried emotions even Pei Lingling couldn’t understand.
"If that’s the case, then summon the Princess Consort to the palace, I really want to see how the Princess Consort explains this."
With Yan Hengyin backing her up, Pei Lingling was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Li Xide imdiately took the imperial edict to announce it, but Pei Shu’er directly declined on the spot.
There was just no way she could go to the Imperial Palace now, if she went, she would definitely be dood.
Yan Hengyin was soone with a historical precedent.
He might keep her in the palace without letting her out.
Or use her to threaten Tang Zan.
Pei Shu’er refused Yan Hengyin’s summons, making Li Xide feel sowhat troubled.
"Princess Consort, whatever you plan to do, going to the palace to give the Emperor a reply is good, directly refusing like this is truly..."
Pei Shu’er coughed a few tis until her face turned red and then waved her hand.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Li, tell the Emperor my condition is grave, and really unsuitable for entering the palace."
Li Xide looked at the guards he brought with him, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.
"Princess Consort, do you an to defy the decree?"
Pei Shu’er truly was defying it, but she couldn’t say that.
She said, "Mr. Li, the Emperor is the foundation of our Dayan, I’ve had this cold for a long ti, I can’t risk infecting the Emperor, if the Emperor falls ill, it would be detrintal for our Dayan, wouldn’t it?"
After saying this, Li Xide told the guards, "We only know the Emperor ordered you to the palace, whether by life or death, you must go to the palace."
