Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 161
The housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Lord Xiao, bowed and comforted him, "Lord, calm down. Why are you so angry?"
After the outrage, Lord Xiao gradually calmed down and sat back on the armchair. After hearing what the housekeeper said, he replied without any curiosity: "Why do you think I am so angry? I only have one granddaughter. Now that she is being humiliated, shouldn't I take care of her?"
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper smiled and pushed the cup towards him, explaining, "My Lord, now that the Pei family has made such a big fuss, do you still want to shamelessly marry the princess?"
Lord Xiao was furious when he heard about this, but now he calmed down and reacted, but he was still a little unsure: "But the imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued..."
"Your Majesty's words are golden, but the Pei family's matter has caused a lot of uproar. Anyway, the wedding date has not been set yet. The Marquis only needs to report that the Pei family's son needs more training and discipline, and it is not appropriate to get married at this time. I think with the Marquis taking the lead, the imperial censors in the court will also agree."
"Haha... Indeed, the wedding date will just have to be postponed. It will still be up to Jinyang to decide whether it will go through or not." Marquis Xiao stroked his beard, feeling suddenly brightened.
Seeing that he was finally in the mood to pick up the teacup and drink tea, the housekeeper's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness, and he leaned closer to remind him: "My Lord, although that is the case, the Pei family kid has tarnished the reputation of the princess after all, so he still needs to be taught a lesson."
After all, he is the butler who grew up with Marquis Xiao. Although he has a calm temperament, his style of protecting his children is no different from that of Marquis Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Lord Xiao suddenly exerted force with his knuckles holding the teacup, forcibly making some cracks in the white porcelain teacup. With a sinister look on his face, he said coldly, "It should be so. You go and make the arrangements. Since Xunhuawenliu has such a disease, he must be embarrassed to seek medical treatment. Let him learn a lesson."
"If he can't make it, then he deserves it. It's a bad fate for him."
At the end of his words, the teacup in his hand gradually broke apart with a slight shattering sound, and finally turned into a handful of gray powder and scattered on the ground.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." The butler also sneered.
Pei Yun, who was like an ant in their mouths, shuddered suddenly. The next second, a certain part of his body started to itch again, and he couldn't help but howl: "Someone come, come quickly!"
Ever since he passed the imperial examination and was granted marriage by His Majesty, his status in the palace has risen rapidly. Even his brother cannot compare with him. The courtyard he lives in is the most spacious courtyard in the Pei family mansion, second only to the courtyard of the Pei family patriarch.
But since the day he was carried back by the Pei family's servants, they moved him into this remote and dilapidated courtyard.
Thinking of this, Pei Yun suddenly felt angry. When he was in glory, everyone in the mansion fawned on him. Now that he was down and out, these people couldn't wait to add insult to injury. They were all a bunch of shameless villains.
He used to be very powerful in the mansion, and the servants in the mansion were respectful to him and obeyed his orders. But now, everything has changed. He lay in the room and called for a long time before a servant finally came, with a bit of impatience on his face.
This gap made Pei Yun feel extremely angry and unwilling, but he couldn't vent it.
His heart was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, but for now he could only swallow his anger and asked, "Where is the doctor I asked you to call? And where is Jin Xin? Why don't you see her?"
"My dear, all the doctors in the capital say that this disease cannot be cured. We really can't do anything about it." The servant said this nonchalantly, obviously in a perfunctory manner.
Pei Yun gnashed his teeth, his eyes were about to burst, and he asked word by word: "What about Jin Xin? Call Jin Xin!"
He believed that even if everyone disliked him and alienated him, Jin Xin would always be by his side.
After all, when he met her, he had not yet become the future consort of Her Royal Highness the Princess. She accompanied him like a flower of eloquence, and would comfort him when he was depressed.
Seeing that he was not giving up and still had hope in his eyes, the servant said with a hint of sarcasm, "My dear, Jinxin said yesterday that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to visit, and then she disappeared. Today, the mistress sent someone to check her room, and her luggage was gone."
These words struck Pei Yun's mind like a bolt from the blue. He stood there in a daze with empty eyes. He didn't even know when the servants left. He was immersed in the bad news that Jin Xin had betrayed him.
He particularly remembered the first time he met Jin Xin. She was imprisoned and her pair of bright eyes looked at him for help.
His machismo urged him to help, which was just a piece of cake for him, but Jin Xin said that she could never repay him for saving her life, so she begged to stay by his side and serve him as a maid.
He had always had maids to serve him since he was young, so having one more would not be a problem, especially since she was so charming and lovable.
Since she came to Pei Mansion, she has acted steadily and considerately, always by his side when he needs her. In just half a year, she has become the number one person in front of Pei Yun.
He never thought that even though he trusted her so much, she would betray him at this time.
They're all bitches!
And Mingyue from Zuifenglou, they are all a bunch of bitches!
He had no recollection of that night, but he remembered that he was drinking with Mingyue in the room before he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he could only see a strange girl wearing a coat and crying in a corner. He wanted to question her, but found that he had lost control of his body. He opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
We can only let that bitch bring people from outside in and let everyone know about it.
There were many men in the world who slept with women, but he was the only one who caused a sensation in this way. Especially when they called a doctor and diagnosed that he had a heart disease, he felt a black screen before his eyes and wished he could disappear from the world.
He didn't know how things had turned out to be like this, but it was definitely related to Mingyue. Although he wasn't considered wise, he was definitely not stupid.
There must be someone behind this who wants to get him, otherwise how could the incident that happened in Zuifeng Tower in the early morning spread throughout the capital in just one hour?
Maybe... maybe even Jin Xin was part of it. She was the one who kept praising him, saying that those playboys in the capital were nothing but fireflies compared to him.
He became increasingly self-inflated and indulged in alcohol and sex.
Thinking of this, Pei Yun was so angry that he smashed everything in the room into a mess. After that, he suddenly felt weak and staggered, holding onto the wall next to him.
The weaker his body became, the clearer his mind became. He thought through everything that had happened over the past six months, but it was too late.
