"I've changed my style, is that not okay?" Pei Chengzhong rolled his eyes, a hint of nervousness appearing on his face.

There is no evidence to support his affair with Xiao Ping. He just wanted to have fun on a whim. But the fact is that he bought the official position. If the Dali Temple really caught him, the Pei family would be implicated.

The Dali Temple Minister looked at the article in front of him and knew that the matter was not that simple, so he stood up and waved his hand: "This case needs further investigation. You are not allowed to leave the capital during the investigation."

If it really involves the Pei family buying an official position, it definitely cannot be handled today, so the Dali Temple Minister needs time to investigate.

After the court session, although the people dispersed, what they saw and heard today spread like a gust of wind in the capital, and Chu Yuheng took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, causing the Pei family to fall into a sense of crisis.

After leaving the Dali Temple, Xiaoping seemed to have used up all her strength. She collapsed before she even had the chance to thank Yu Wangfei.

Seeing this, Yu Wangfei could only let Yu Wangfeng carry her back to the Yu Mansion.

Firstly, he was worried that Xiaoping would shake the interests of the Pei family and meet with an unexpected accident. Secondly, Yu Wangfei didn't know where Xiaoping lived, so he took her back.

As for the matter of Pei Chengzhong, Yu Wangfei knew that she could not only believe Xiaoping's one-sided words, so she asked Yunhua to take Pei Chengzhong's portrait to the slums to investigate. If he really did something so outrageous that both humans and gods would do, then she didn't mind letting the entire Da Chu know what kind of people the Pei family was.

At dinner time, Yunhua rushed to Yu Mansion with the news he had heard, saying that the people in Slum Street all knew Pei Chengzhong, and that he had indeed lived in Xiaoping's house for a period of time. The two even announced to the public that they were engaged, but later they all left Slum Street and had no contact since then.

"Scum!" Yu Wangfeng cursed.

Gu Baili sighed helplessly, and glanced at Xiao Ping on the bed with a little heartache: "This girl is so pitiful."

"Yes, he has been poisoned and he doesn't have much time left." Yu Wangfei couldn't help but sigh.

She had just examined Xiao Ping's pulse and found that the poison had spread deep into her lungs and was beyond cure. Even she had no way to detoxify her.

Xiao Ping woke up while talking. She looked at Yu Wangfei painfully and said, "Am I really poisoned? But didn't the princess say before that I was just suffering from a mental illness?"

"Have you seen me?" Yu Wangfei was puzzled.

"After I was kicked out of Pei's house, I found a house on South Street to live in temporarily. The princess and the prince went there on the night of the Qixi Festival..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wangfei suddenly understood something. When she was imprisoned in the prison, Chu Yuheng actually took Su Yunyun to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day.

"Did the prince ask you to come here today?" Yu Wangfei asked.

Xiaoping nodded to show her agreement. She didn't know that the two had broken off the engagement, so she told Yu Wangfei without any hesitation.

So that's how it is. Yu Wangfei now understood what Chu Yuheng wanted to do. It seemed that he had not given up on the Chunwei case, so he wanted to use Xiaoping to restart the investigation of the Chunwei case.

"You have been poisoned. I can only help you delay the toxicity, but I can't guarantee complete detoxification." Yu Wangfei looked at him disappointedly and sighed with heartache.

It would be great if old man Mo Ying were here, maybe he could develop an antidote.

"As long as I can see Pei Chengzhong's end, thank you very much, Princess." Xiaoping looked at everyone gratefully.

After giving Xiaoping acupuncture, Yu Wangfei asked everyone to leave and not disturb her to rest.

She hated this kind of man in the first place, and now that she had chosen to take care of the matter, she would definitely not let the Pei Mansion settle down.

So Yu Wangfei asked Yu Wangfeng to report the matter to the palace, or preferably to the emperor. As the saying goes, rumors are as ferocious as tigers, and she didn't believe that the head of the Pei family would remain unmoved.

Then Yu Wangfei specifically informed the people of Slum Street about what happened in the Dali Temple, and incited them to demonstrate in front of the Pei Mansion. If there were only one or two people, the Pei family would definitely beat them out with sticks, but what if it was the entire population of Slum Street? Would his Pei family dare to attack them!

In less than half a day, everyone from civil and military officials to ordinary people knew about Pei Chengzhong's treachery. The head of the Pei family was so angry that he wanted to expel Pei Chengzhong from the family tree to preserve the reputation of the Pei family.

It was also because of Pei Chengzhong's incident that the people temporarily forgot about Su Yunyun. Faced with this situation, the Duke of Yingguo simply closed the door of the mansion and no one was allowed to step out of the mansion.

Originally, the emperor did not want the Supreme Court Minister to investigate the case, because he did not want to reopen the Spring Examination case, but the situation in the court escalated, and even the people outside the palace demanded that the court give them an explanation.

When many poor students heard that Pei Chengzhong had bought an official position, they ran to the palace gate and begged the emperor to investigate thoroughly.

Faced with such pressure, the emperor had no choice but to ask the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation and secretly ordered that the truth must be reported to him before it could be made public.

After receiving the news, Chu Yuheng secretly had someone deliver all the clues he had about the Spring Examination case to the residence of the Dali Temple Minister, hoping that he would be upright and investigate the matter.

On the other side, Chu Aotian was extremely anxious. Didn’t the master say that the Chunwei case had been solved? Why was it reopened again?

Even though he was as anxious as a headless fly, he could not leave the house, for fear that if he took a step forward, he would be discovered by Chu Yuheng and others, and then report what he had done to the emperor.

Three days later, Yu Wangfei had just opened the door of the Yu Mansion and was taking Xiaoping out of the Yu Mansion when they met Pei Chengzhong coming towards them.

Pei Chengzhong ran to Xiaoping and stared at her angrily: "I warn you, even if all the women in Da Chu died, I will never marry you, so you'd better let those people leave the front of Pei Mansion, otherwise I will not let you and your mother go!"

He came today to threaten Xiaoping. Pei's father ordered him to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise he would cut off ties with him. For his own benefit, Pei Chengzhong had to come to Xiaoping.

"Maybe I wanted to marry you before, but now you make me feel disgusted." Xiao Ping looked at him with disdain. "As for those people in front of Pei Mansion, they were not sent by me, believe it or not."

Yu Wangfei took the opportunity to retort: ​​"Xiao Ping took you in when you were penniless. She provided you with food, clothing, education, and even gave herself to you. And this is how you treat your benefactor. You are a scumbag!"

Pei Chengzhong did not get angry but laughed instead. He deliberately said sarcastically: "You have been deflowered by me. I don't want you, and no one else will want you!"

Just when he was about to provoke Xiao Ping, the Pei Mansion's housekeeper suddenly came over with a large group of people.

The housekeeper came to them without saying a word and looked at Xiao Ping with disdain: "The master of the house has shown mercy and allowed you to enter the mansion as a concubine."
