"Huh?"
Pei Hu was left speechless by her retort.
That’s how it is.
But he is the Young Master of the Pei Family; he must think thrice before doing anything.
Otherwise, any slip-up,
could affect the Pei Family.
It’s not as simple as Pei Yuenan’s casual remark.
"Alright, I will send soone to investigate, and we’ll talk once we have the results."
Although unwilling in his heart, since Pei Yuenan had spoken, he had to help.
"Three days, I must have results in three days."
At this mont, Pei Yuenan’s tone was very serious, giving Pei Hu no room to refuse.
This matter,
She promised Chen Xuan three days, so it will be three days!
Although it is for Master Chen’s sake, it is also her way of doing things—decisive, saying and doing.
"Whom exactly are you investigating this for?"
"You don’t need to bother with that. Rember, only three days! If there’s no result in three days, I will beat you up!"
After leaving a warning, Pei Yuenan left.
Ever since there was Ink Lotus Pavilion, she hasn’t stayed overnight at the Pei Family House.
Though her room has always been kept as it was.
But,
sotis, she just glances, and leaves after looking.
At this mont,
Pei Hu seed to recall so unpleasant things, a hint of fear appeared in his tiger-like eyes.
"Soone, co, co!"
He shouted loudly.
.....
anwhile,
At the Tong Family.
Tong Shian relayed today’s events and his speculations to his brother.
"No worries, I’m already at the eighth level."
Tong Shiping was not the least bit worried.
Because yesterday he had a Realm Breakthrough to the eighth level.
And after telling Yao Tian, his master, about this, Yao Tian was very pleased.
Not only did he reward him with many things, but he also promised to give him a rare dicinal plant in a while.
Tong Shiping had been following him for nearly ten years, considered his confidant. Now, with increased strength, how could he not be pleased?
Moreover, in the Yao Family,
Yao Tian’s status is not low, although the next Patriarch of the Yao Family has not been determined, Yao Tian is the most likely candidate of his generation.
As long as Tong Shiping is strong enough, Yao Tian will value him more.
Then even knowing Pei Yuenan,
What could Pei Yuenan do to him?
After reaching the eighth level, it brought him great confidence; moreover, he’s only 35 years old now and still has high hopes of advancing further.
If,
Yao Tian truly becos the Patriarch of the Yao Family, his status wouldn’t be one step away from the top.
Pei Family?
Bah!
Just a grain rchant!
Tong Shian felt relieved seeing his brother so confident.
In the Tong Family, his elder brother is like heaven, his words are law, and his achievents at the Governnt Office are due to his elder brother, so he holds his elder brother in high regard, his words are heaven itself!
....
Three days later, in Ink Lotus Pavilion.
On the third floor,
in the room exclusively for Pei Yuenan.
Pei Hu told her all the information he found.
At this mont,
The room fell silent.
Pei Yuenan walked to the window, the morning sunlight on her face made her unconsciously shield her eyes with her hand, looking at the bustling street not far away, full of people and traffic.
What a lively scene.
Unexpectedly,
this matter was related to Yao Tian. Originally, she thought it was probably so servant of the Yao Family.
Never thought....
"Yao Tian?"
Pei Yuenan muttered to herself.
Perhaps it’s an opportunity.
It all depends on whether the young master of the Chen Mansion is strong enough.
The Yao Family’s power has grown too rapidly over the years; it’s ti to cause so trouble for them.
Otherwise,
If this continues, it’s not just the Pei Family, even the Chen Family will be in danger.
In the current situation,
The Yao Family is almost colluding with the County Governnt Office.
Rumor has it that the Yao Family’s Patriarch plans to marry one of his daughters to the County Magistrate, and you know the County Magistrate is in his sixties.
The Yao Family truly must be shaless, all to win over the County Magistrate.
"Yuenan, I think you should be cautious about this matter, regardless of whom you are helping to investigate or advising, just let it go."
Upon hearing the information gathered, he was also taken aback.
Like Pei Yuenan, he thought it was likely just a servant from the Yao Family.
Unexpectedly, that day, Yao Tian happened to patrol and coincidentally heard Wang Daming’s complaints.
Moreover, his complaints resonated with many blacksmiths.
As an example,
Yao Tian gave the order, in front of all the blacksmiths present, to beat Wang Daming to death.
This matter,
could have been masterminded by Yao Tian, with the culprit being his henchman Tong Shiping.
"You don’t need to worry about this anymore, you can go back."
Pei Yuenan issued the guest dismissal order.
"Hey, did you even listen to what I said?"
Pei Hu was very dissatisfied; he was at least putting in the effort, right?
No gratitude expressed, just directly told to leave.
Too much.
"If you don’t want to walk out of here, I can throw you out the window, your choice?"
Pei Yuenan had no ti to argue with him, she still needed to visit the Chen Mansion.
"I’m leaving, I’m leaving, no need to bother you."
Pei Hu quickly ran off in fear.
He understood Pei Yuenan’s nature well, she always does what she says.
Never shows any rcy, sotis even their father’s pleas don’t help.
....
At the Chen Mansion.
After Pei Yuenan recounted everything they had found out, she quietly sat there.
Yet her gaze never strayed from Chen Xuan.
But she was disappointed, as she couldn’t discern any hint of emotional change on his face, calm from beginning to end.
"Thank you, Miss Pei. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. Rushi, I’ll leave it to you."
Chen Xuan got up, gave his instructions, and then left the hall.
At this mont,
only Pei Yuenan and Liu Rushi remained in the hall.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, Liu Rushi let out a cold snort.
Her face was full of dissatisfaction.
"What’s wrong, my sister Rushi?"
Pei Yuenan pretended not to know.
Liu Rushi, too lazy to expose her, just warned her, "Considering our years of sisterhood, I, as a younger sister, will remind you, do not underestimate our Young Master, it’s best not to plot against him. Otherwise, the consequences are not sothing you can bear, I believe you understand what I an!"
This issue, implicating Yao Family’s Yao Tian, and her earlier suggestion seed to incite Chen Xuan against him.
Given Yao Tian’s status in the Yao Family, this was tantamount to declaring war against them.
By then, this wouldn’t just concern Chen Xuan, even Master Chen would be dragged into it.
After all,
with Master Chen’s attitude towards Chen Xuan, he wouldn’t allow the Yao Family to target him.
Fortunately, Chen Xuan never expressed his stance.
With a slight glance at Pei Yuenan, this lady had no good intentions coming here.
"Haha~~"
Pei Yuenan laughed awkwardly.
She didn’t expect Liu Rushi to hold Chen Xuan in such high esteem.
Despite many years of sisterhood, she spoke such harsh words.
"I think sister Rushi misunderstood, I an no harm!"
