After separating from Jiang Xiaodie, Jiang Wansang was not in a hurry to go back.

Since I'm out now, I might as well go shopping and relax.

But she obviously had no interest in relaxing. After shopping for a long time, she didn't buy anything and just wandered aimlessly on the street until it got dark, then she slowly walked back.

Zheliu and the others could clearly sense that their young lady was in a bad mood, and they also vaguely guessed the reason.

But this matter...

They didn't know what to say, so they could only follow the young lady silently, hoping that her mood would gradually improve.

But until returning to Tingsang Pavilion, Jiang Wansang's mood was still relatively stable. After asking everyone to go back and rest, she went straight into her room.

As soon as she stepped into the door, she suddenly realized something and her expression froze.

"Shhhhhh!"

Accompanied by the sound of breaking air, several sharp wind blades flew towards the bed.

Just as the wind blade was about to cut through the flesh and pass through the neck, a familiar voice rang out: "It's me."

The next moment, the sharp wind blade turned into a soft breeze and sprinkled on the face of the person who came.

Jiang Wansang quickly lit the candles on the table. When she saw that the person sitting on her bed was Pei Zhanzhou, she felt a lingering fear. "Could you please give me a heads-up next time you come?"

If she hadn't been so proficient in controlling her supernatural powers, his head would have been gone by now!

Pei Zhanzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand and gently touched his neck.

What kind of martial arts in this world can make people feel no internal force at all, but can instantly transform the deadly internal force into a breeze with no lethal power?

After knowing each other for so long, Jiang Wansang knew Pei Zhanzhou very well. As soon as she saw his actions, she knew that this guy was doubting her.

Just as I was on high alert, preparing to respond to his probing, Pei Zhanzhou asked, "Since you went to the Imperial Master's Mansion, why did you suddenly leave?"

Jiang Wansang had never expected that he would suddenly ask this, and was unable to react for a moment.

Pei Zhanzhou got up from the bed and walked towards her, "What did you mean by the message you asked Lin Tong to convey? Could it be..."

The two of them were not far apart. Pei Zhanzhou walked up to her in two or three steps and suddenly lowered his voice, "Could it be that Miss Jiang is jealous?"

Jiang Wansang was forced to keep looking into his eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly uncontrollably after hearing these words.

Jealous?

To be honest, after being together for so long, Pei Zhanzhou is really to her liking, both in terms of personality and behavior.

Jiang Wansang took a half step back and averted his gaze. "Master Imperial Master really loves to joke around. I'm just being considerate and don't want to ruin your good intentions."

She turned and walked to the table, casually hooked a stool with her foot and sat down. "From what Lin Tong said, the Imperial Preceptor seemed to enjoy the Third Princess of Beisheng's advances. Not only did he not stop her from publicly displaying her love, he even accepted her gift."

"I am quite perceptive. Since the Imperial Master is pleased with this, how can I break up the relationship?"

This statement is well-reasoned, but if you listen carefully, you can see that it is vaguely personal.

Pei Zhanzhou seemed to have heard it and pursed his thin lips slightly.

He walked to the table and sat down on another stool, "I've already let Lin Tong take the punishment."

Jiang Wansang: "???"

What happened to Guan Lintong?

Pei Zhanzhou's expression straightened up. "We let Shen Qiuyun live in the Imperial Master's Residence because she is from the Beisheng royal family."

He was not in a position to tell the specific reason, but he believed that with Jiang Wansang's intelligence, she would be able to understand what he meant just by this one sentence.

Jiang Wansang could indeed understand, but she was more surprised.

Pei Zhanzhou is... explaining to her?

Seeing that she didn't respond, Pei Zhanzhou continued, "Shen Qiuyun's people do send things to Luqing Cottage every day, but she herself hasn't come. After the Queen's birthday banquet, Zhou Zhi added something to her food, and now she doesn't even have the strength to leave the room."

Zhou Zhi himself certainly didn't have the courage to drug a princess, so he naturally followed his orders.

After suppressing the emperor's edict, Pei Zhanzhou guessed that Shen Qiuyun would not be honest, so he simply used some tricks to make her have no energy to do anything.

But he didn't expect that Shen Qiuyun would actually let people go to the streets to show their love so freely.

Considering what Shen Qiuyun did in Beisheng Country, this is actually not surprising, but Jiang Wansang said that this matter should be left to her to handle, so he did not take any action.

Pei Zhanzhou explained the things that Lin Tong didn't say one by one, his tone calm but full of seriousness.

"...As for the things she sent, didn't Feng Yi tell you?"

Jiang Wansang tilted her head, her expression blank.

Ever since she took in the little beggars in the City God Temple, she handed them over to Jiang Er and others for training, and only took care of their food, clothing and other expenses. She never had time to visit them. How did Shen Qiuyun's affairs involve them again?

As soon as he saw her expression, Pei Zhanzhou knew that she had not heard the news yet.

"The things Shen Qiuyun bought are all top-quality. Even if you take them to a pawnshop, you can get a lot of silver."

So Pei Zhanzhou asked Zhou Zhi to take all the things, and send the usable ones directly to Feng Yi, and the unusable ones should be taken to the pawnshop in exchange for silver and then sent to Feng Yi.

Jiang Wansang had never expected that he would behave like this after accepting Shen Qiuyun's gift.

"Why are you……"

Pei Zhanzhou looked at her calmly, "Didn't you say that you'd be out of money after the hot pot restaurant opened?"

Jiang Wansang was stunned, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have said in front of Pei Zhanzhou a long time ago that she not only had to support Jiang Yi and the others, but also had to support Feng Yi's group of teenagers. The hot pot restaurant had just opened and she had to support a group of employees. She had almost spent all the things she got from Meng Lianshu.

At that time, she was just complaining casually. After all, after the hot pot restaurant opened with the support of Master Pei, the business was better than she had imagined, and she would definitely make back her investment within two months.

She didn't expect that Pei Zhanzhou would remember her casual complaint.

In an instant, the breath that had been blocking Jiang Wansang's heart dissipated, and she seemed to relax completely.

Pei Zhanzhou clearly sensed the changes in her, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Having known each other for so long, do you think this country teacher is the kind of person who is gentle and casual with others?"

"That's not necessarily true," Jiang Wansang muttered. "They say the Imperial Master treats the Jiang family's Second Miss differently, even thoughtful enough to personally send her home in a carriage!"

Jiang Wansang didn't know why she said that. She just spoke subconsciously and regretted it after she said it.

This sounds like... a nagging woman!

Besides, Pei Zhanzhou had already made it clear what Jiang Zihan’s situation was.

Hearing her words, Pei Zhanzhou's smile deepened. "She said it herself that she would personally send Jiang Zihan back home. This master has never done such a thing."

"That day I left the house in the middle of the night to lure out the assassin, but Jiang Zihan suddenly showed up and said she had sprained her foot and wanted to borrow the carriage to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I took the opportunity to let her ride in my carriage for a ride on the street. Afterwards, the servants in the mansion wanted to take the carriage back and sent her back on the way." Pei Zhanzhou told the story in a calm tone, without even using the word "self-proclaimed".

He never cared about rumors. Even if he heard them, he would not take them to heart. No one dared to come to him and ask whether the rumors they heard outside were true or false.
