After Jiaojiao got pregnant, her husband who died in the war came back

Chapter 140 Madam Pei, the Third Prince invites you

Faced with Pei Jingyi's cold eyes, Xie Lanzhao was dumbfounded, his face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue.

How could he be like this, acting as if he didn't know himself.

He had clearly saved her when she encountered bandits in Lucheng a few days ago.

Just when Xie Lanzhao was stunned, Xue Zhao stepped forward in time to rescue him and introduced him: "This is Xie Lanzhao, from our Shenjiying."

After hearing this, Pei Jingyi nodded slightly as if he had suddenly realized something. His eyes were a little cold, and his voice was still cold as before: "So what?"

At this time, Xie Lanzhao was already a little angry and said without thinking:

"I just think that General Pei not only brought his wife with him on this expedition, but also tacitly allowed her to write something to the Third Prince."

At this point, she seemed to find this matter ridiculous and sneered:

"It doesn't matter how embarrassing it is in the capital, but this is in Canglan Country. Her every move represents the reputation of Zhao. She is making such a fuss and bringing shame to Zhao."

After listening to her impassioned speech, Pei Jingyi remained calm, but his expression had obviously darkened.

Even so, his tone remained steady:

"What happened in the capital? I only heard that she was treated harshly in the Xie family and was ostracized by her brothers and sisters. She was a pitiful person. Could it be that Miss Xie has other insights?"

Seeing him confuse right and wrong, Xie Lanzhao became even more agitated, "She is pitiful? She killed my sister, she..."

This time, before she could finish, Pei Jingyi interrupted coldly:

"Everything requires evidence. If we can convict someone based on conjecture and nonsense, then the laws of Zhao will become meaningless. Miss Xie, please be careful with your words."

Pei Jingyi’s tone was particularly strong for the last two words.

When Xie Lanzhao was choked and speechless, he continued: "As for suggestions, if you have any ideas, you can write them down."

At this point, Xie Lanzhao was already at a disadvantage.

She sneered. She really couldn't have imagined that Pei Jingyi would beautify Xie Shuyao's playing around like playing house into suggestions and advice.

Since the relationship had already been torn apart, Xie Lanzhao was not afraid of anything and directly exposed it:

"General Pei is not on the battlefield for the first time. Could it be that he doesn't know whether her few lines of words are useful? Or is it that General Pei, in order to please his wife, is willing to use thousands of troops as a foil to play tricks on you!"

These words really put Pei Jingyi on the spot.

He stood up to defend Xie Shuyao in order to confirm the position of Xie Shuyao in his heart and would not allow others to bully her.

But it also brings disadvantages.

He is so obviously protecting Xie Shuyao, will he open a backdoor for her or even do something irrational.

At this time, murmurs were heard among the crowd.

"That's right. Why bring a woman to the battlefield? What Xie Lanzhao said is right."

"They say beauty is the root of trouble, and it's true. General Pei has been so obsessed with her that he has become protective of his shortcomings."

Although everyone's dislike would not have any effect, once Xie Shuyao was labeled as a beauty who brings disaster, it would be difficult to get rid of the label.

Seeing that Pei Jingyi was about to speak, Xie Shuyao quickly pulled his arm and said, "Forget it, let her be."

She was not afraid of quarreling, but since Pei Jingyi was involved, such a thing happened before the battle even started, which might affect the morale of the army.

Seeing Xie Shuyao showing signs of retreating, Xie Lanzhao curled his lips and smiled, showing the attitude of a winner.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a group of people suddenly came in from outside. Judging from the way they were dressed, the leader should be a eunuch from the palace.

The man swept his whisk, fixed his eyes on Xie Shuyao, and said slowly: "Madam Pei, the Third Prince wants to see you."
