The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

On the second day, Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan took a few treasures selected from the store and a box of pearl flowers suitable for little girls, and rushed to Zheng's house in a carriage.

Dan Feng asked for directions several times on the way. Fortunately, the Zheng family was considered a wealthy family in Jingzhou City, so he knew the way after asking.

After crossing a bridge and entering an alley surrounded by large houses, Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the house numbers flashing by one after another, knowing that they were almost at Zheng Mansion.

When he finally saw the plaque of the Zheng Mansion, Dan Feng pulled the reins to stop the horse and said to the back of the curtain: "Sir, the Crown Prince's Consort, we are here."

Pei Yi responded, jumped off the carriage first, and reached out to help Xie Zhichan down. He then saw a constant stream of cars and people parked in front of the gate of Zheng's mansion, and distinguished guests kept walking in.

A well-dressed woman was standing at the gate of Zheng's mansion. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief from time to time, greeted the visiting guests with a smile, and ordered the maids inside to lead the way.

When Pei Yi saw the woman, his eyes became sore. He took two steps forward and called out, "Big Sister."

The woman was none other than Pei Jingshu, the eldest daughter of Prince Yan's Mansion who married far away from the capital.

Pei Jingshu was startled when she heard the voice. When she saw the person standing in front of her, her eyes suddenly turned red. She looked happy and a little aggrieved, and said, "Brother Yi, why are you here?"

Then he saw a beautiful woman standing next to him. Although she was dressed as a woman, she looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with a fair face and rosy cheeks. There had never been such a pretty girl in Jingzhou City. He was stunned for a moment.

Pei Yi thought Pei Jingshu had never seen Xie Zhichan before and didn't recognize her, so he introduced her to her, "Sister, this is my Crown Prince's Consort, Miss Xie from the Duke of Wei's Mansion. You can call her A Yuan."

Then he said to Xie Zhichan: "Ayuan, this is my elder sister."

Xie Zhichan smiled and accepted the gift, then handed the things in his hand to Pei Jingshu and said, "I was in a hurry on the way, so I picked a few things from the Dielian Hairpin Shop as gifts for Big Sister and Miaomiao. Don't be disgusted by them, Big Sister."

Pei Jingshu felt mixed emotions after hearing this.

In fact, she recognized Xie Zhichan's identity at first sight. She could also receive letters from home in Jingzhou. When she heard that Yi Ge'er was seriously injured and unconscious, she was extremely anxious and wanted to return to the capital. Unfortunately, Miaomiao was seriously ill and the journey back to the capital was long, at least half a month. She was worried that Miaomiao might get into trouble on the way, so she did not dare to leave.

Later, when Miaomiao felt better, she received a letter from Kyoto saying that the emperor had given Yige'er a princess as a congratulatory gift and that the person had woken up. She temporarily put aside the idea of ​​returning to the capital and focused on taking care of Miaomiao's health.

Later, she heard that Pei Yi's paralysis had been cured, and she finally put her mind at ease. She waited until the Zheng family was finally going to return to Beijing to live permanently, but she didn't expect Pei Yi to come to Jingzhou to see her.

She couldn't help crying, thinking that she had failed her mother's trust and had not fulfilled her duties as an eldest sister. She couldn't even be by her side to take care of her brother when he was seriously injured.

Pei Yi was not very good at comforting women, and was at a loss as to what to do. He said, "Sister, stop crying."

Xie Zhichan was the most attentive and asked, "Big sister, the sun is so scorching today, why are you welcoming guests at the door? Let your maid come and watch over you, and come in with us to cool off for a while."

Pei Jingshu didn't care about anything else now that she had seen her brother. She called the housekeeper inside the door without hesitation and said, "Madam Kong, I have guests to entertain. Please come and guard the door for me."

Nanny Kong had been guarding inside the door and did not recognize Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan. She only saw that her mistress seemed to be quite warm to them. Perhaps it was her mistress's good friend from Jingzhou who came to see them off, so she held their hands and started crying.

When she heard that she was asked to stand in the hot sun to guard the door, she was immediately unhappy and said, "Madam, the old lady said that today is a farewell banquet for the master, and everyone should be happy. Even if you are reluctant to leave your friend, you shouldn't cry."

After Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi heard this, their faces immediately turned very ugly.

Without waiting for Pei Yi to speak, Xie Zhichan asked the old woman, "Whose servant are you? How dare you be so bold as to order your master to do things?"

The old woman sneered at Xie Zhichan and said, "I am the eldest master's wet nurse, and I have to honor my status as an elder in front of the lady. Where did you come from, little girl? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Zheng Mansion?"

Pei Jingshu couldn't help but sneer. The maids in the Zheng Mansion just thought that she was married far away and disliked by her mother-in-law, and that her parents' home was out of reach, so they would often act arrogantly in front of her.

Let them kick the iron wall themselves today. Although she has a gentle personality, she is only tolerant for Miaomiao. Her brother is not someone to be trifled with. It seems that this sister-in-law is the same kind of person as Yige'er.

As expected, as soon as the old woman finished her words, Xie Zhichan ordered Yueyan, "Yueyan, this old woman dared to disrespect the second-rank imperial lady of the dynasty. Slap her in the face until she begs for mercy."

Yue Yan rolled up her sleeves without saying a word, walked forward, pressed the old woman's acupoints, and started fighting with both hands, in front of several guests outside the door, which frightened them and they didn't know whether to go in or not.

Pei Jingshu saw him and said, "My servants are ignorant. Please don't laugh at me. I am a guest. Please come in."

After saying this, he asked his personal maid to guard the door, and he took Xie Zhichan's hand and walked into the mansion with Pei Yi.

Along the way, Pei Yi exuded a low pressure all over his body, and asked Pei Jingshu: "I asked Shopkeeper Qiu, and he told me that my elder sister was doing well in Jingzhou. If I hadn't come here in person today, I wouldn't know that my elder sister's well-being was such a standard. I asked Shopkeeper Qiu to look after the shop in Jingzhou so that he could support my elder sister. The Zheng family is not good to you, right?"

Pei Jingshu looked a bit miserable and said, "Brother Yi, I know your good intentions, and I am not a weak person. But Miaomiao's surname is Zheng after all. With her, I have to consider everything for her. If I make too many enemies in this mansion, they will inevitably attack Miaomiao."

Xie Zhichan heard the deep meaning and asked, "Did Big Sister find anything?"

Pei Jingshu nodded and said, "It's just my guess, but I don't have any evidence. If I had it, I would send a letter to the capital as fast as I could, and I would ask my father and Yi Ge'er to support me."

Although she said so, Xie Zhichan knew it, so she did not send a letter to the capital. It must have been because Pei Yi was seriously injured, and she did not want to cause more trouble for the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Pei Yi, however, was like a balloon that was inflated with air all over his body. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What's wrong with Miaomiao?"

Pei Jingshu said: "Before you were seriously injured, Miaomiao fell seriously ill for no reason. The doctor prescribed medicine but it was useless. Later, I was worried that someone in the mansion was causing trouble, so I took Miaomiao to live in the temple for a while in the name of praying for blessings. Fortunately, a nun in the temple was also proficient in medicine and was able to save Miaomiao.

But the nun only suspected that Miaomiao might have been poisoned by food incompatibility. When I brought Miaomiao back home, it was already many days later and I couldn’t find any evidence.”

Pei Yi asked, "Who did you guess?"

Pei Jingshu's eyes were filled with resentment: "It must be Aunt Bao."

Pei Yi secretly took note of this person in his heart, but his elder sister still had to survive in the Zheng Mansion, so he couldn't deal with this person openly. He had to let Heying's people take action to kill him.

As they talked, they walked along the long corridor and arrived at the flower hall for receiving guests. In front of the flower hall was a small courtyard with many ladies sitting in the courtyard. Outside the courtyard was a lotus pond. The lotus flowers were in full bloom, which was quite a sight.

There was a woman laughing in the courtyard. Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi took a quick look and found that she was the "Mrs. Zheng" who came to Dielianzan to buy jewelry that day.

There is only Zheng Yan in the Zheng Mansion, so how could there be a second Madam Zheng?

Thinking that this woman actually called herself Madam Zheng in public, and who knew where she got her fake eyes from, but pretended to be pearls on the outside, Pei Yi's face turned black, and he wanted to go up and throw this woman into the lotus pond.
