Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Although Pei Xu was afraid, he still looked at Yin Yichen and said, "I am imprisoned now. Commander Gu has said that he wants to spare my life. Does Commander Gu know that you are threatening me like this?"

Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu's appearance and found it very ridiculous. Pei Xu was originally promoted by the Pei family, but who would have thought that he would have to rely on Gu Jie's reputation to survive in this cell.

Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu's appearance and said slowly, "You have already helped Gu Jie do what he wanted to do. Do you think Gu Jie will still care about you?"

When Pei Xu heard this, his face turned ugly, and he immediately said to Yin Yichen, "Impossible, Commander Gu promised me that he would let me out safely. This is impossible, I don't believe it."

Seeing Pei Xu so unwilling, Yin Yichen said slowly to him, "During the days since you signed your name, has Governor Gu ever sent anyone to check on you? You probably think you are someone important, and the Pei family will kill you as soon as you get out of prison. You actually still want to get out, so I advise you to stay in the cell. Maybe you can live a few more days."

Pei Xu's face instantly turned ugly after hearing this, and he said to Yin Yichen, "I do all this just to live, why can't I even live? Why is it so difficult to live? Why is this?"

Pei Xu saw Yin Yichen standing there, and immediately yelled, "Who sent you? Why did you come to the cell to find me? Why?"

"What you did today is all your own fault. If you hadn't been greedy for profit and extorted money from the grain road, Gu Jie wouldn't have discovered the clues and arrested you." Yin Yichen glanced at Pei Xu and said slowly, "I'm here to tell you today that you only have one way left, which is to change your confession."

"Are you trying to kill me? Do you think I don't know that you came here just to make me let Pei Xuanzhi go? That's impossible." Pei Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I have to die, I have to take someone with me. Pei Xuanzhi wants to live. It's impossible."

"I'm curious. The Pei family has done you a great favor. What makes you hate Pei Xuanzhi so much that you want to watch him die?" Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu and said in surprise, "Are you jealous of him? You are jealous that he is a favored child of heaven, so you hate him so much."

When Pei Xu heard this, his face darkened and he said to Yin Yichen, "Who on earth are you to know so many things? But no matter who you are, don't even think about getting what you want from me."

After hearing this, Yin Yichen laughed out loud and said slowly, "I have seen through you. You used to work in the grain department. You are so partial and profit-seeking. I am afraid you are thinking that if something happens one day, you can drag the Pei family into it, right?"

Pei Xu was obviously touched by what he said. His face turned darker than before. He immediately asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to me?"

"I'll show you a way out." Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu and said slowly, "If you still want to live, I'll give you a chance."

"Who are you? You actually want to show me a way out?" Pei Xu was obviously unconvinced when he heard this, and said to Yin Yichen, "Don't just come and show off in front of me and then leave."

"Didn't you just say that ordinary people can't see you?" Yin Yichen said slowly with a cold expression, "Who am I? Can't you recognize me?"

Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu beside him and continued, "I can give you a chance to live. Whether you are willing to live or not is entirely up to you."

Pei Xu opened his eyes wide and looked at Yin Yichen. After a closer look, he finally recognized his figure. Yin Yichen had come to the grain road several times before to investigate. Although he was not yet qualified to report to the prime minister, he had seen his figure several times. He looked like this handsome man.

Pei Xu looked at Yin Yichen and stammered, "Are you the prime minister of this dynasty?"

Yin Yichen's face remained cold as he slowly spoke to Pei Xu, "It's hard for you to tell who I am. Since you guessed it, you should know that I have the ability to keep you alive."

Pei Xu had already started to tremble at this point, no longer looking as arrogant as before.

Pei Xu looked at Yin Yichen and said slowly, "Prime Minister, I... I have no ambitions. I just want a little money and my family to survive. I have no choice but to do this under the threat of Governor Gu. If I change my confession now, my wife and daughter will probably die."

Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu and said word by word, "What if I tell you that I have a way to let you and your wife and daughter survive?"

Pei Xu looked at Yin Yichen and said in disbelief, "My wife and daughter are at home now, and they are being controlled by Governor Gu's men. If I change my confession, my wife and daughter will die immediately."

Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu's disappointing look and immediately said, "To tell you the truth, I have already moved your wife and daughter to a safe place. As long as you tell the truth as I say, you and your wife and daughter can live."

When Pei Xu heard this, he was instantly disheartened. He knew what Yin Yichen said. If he didn't do what Yin Yichen said, he was afraid that his wife and daughter would not be able to escape his murderous hands.

Pei Xu gritted his teeth and said to Yin Yichen, "How can I trust you? You can rescue my wife and daughter from Governor Gu so easily."

Yin Yichen took out a hairpin from his sleeve, placed it in front of Pei Xu, and said to him, "Look at this hairpin, is it your wife's?"

Pei Xu looked at the hairpin in front of him and said in surprise, "This is indeed what my wife wears on her head. I bought this hairpin for her, and now it's in your hands."

"So, do you want to listen to me?" Yin Yichen looked at Pei Xu with a cold gaze, "But now, you only have this one path to take. After all, you want your wife and daughter to live."

Pei Xu knelt on the ground, his face was ashen. Now, he really had only one way to go.

Yin Yichen quickly walked out of the cell and turned towards the Dali Temple.

Qian Xingyu from the Dali Temple was an old acquaintance. The two had known each other for so many years, so Yin Yichen went to visit him immediately. When Yin Yichen arrived, his face was calm, but Qian Xingyu looked sick.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend either Yin Yichen or Gu Jie.
