Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Madam Pei nodded subconsciously: "Yes, she is responsible for taking care of the flowers and the room. She is very good at tending to the flowers and plants, so I didn't drive her away!"

Meng Xiang said coldly: "Then search the room carefully again!"

Mrs. Pei wanted to speak out to stop him, but was stopped by Mr. Pei with a look.

She could only glare fiercely at the woman in green: "You'd better not bring trouble to our first wife. If you affect the master's future, I will peel your skin off!"

The woman was terrified and could only pray secretly that there would be no mistakes.

Li Youde had already arrived at the flower room. He looked around and said, "Prime Minister, there's nothing wrong with this flower room except the flowers blooming everywhere. Why do you suspect her?"

Meng Xiang casually picked up a flowerpot and said, "Is this a golden peony? I have to say this woman is quite talented. She can actually grow an out-of-season flower into such a gorgeous beauty!"

Li Youde frowned and replied, "The palace gardeners are also fine. I heard they use different fertilizers!"

Meng Xiang asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing? I want to see what kind of flower fertilizer is so magical!"

He took the dagger and subconsciously started digging.

The woman arrived just in time and immediately stopped him with a startled cry, "Mr. Meng, you absolutely cannot do this! These golden peonies are for the Emperor's New Year banquet. If they are damaged, the Pei Mansion will not be able to explain to the Emperor!"

Madam Pei also said immediately, "Yes, Prime Minister Pei, there are only a few golden peony plants in the court. They are very rare. If you damage its roots, it will die. There were originally six plants, which means six is ​​auspicious. If there are only five left, what will happen?"

Meng Qingshan's cold eyes fell on the golden peony in full bloom, and he frowned and asked, "So, according to what Madam Pei said, these pots of flowers cannot be touched?"

The woman quickly replied, "Your Excellency cannot touch it, but I can. I will dig out the dirt inside and let Your Excellency examine it carefully!"

She quickly picked up a small flower shovel from the side, carefully reached into the flowerpot, and slowly turned the soil out.

Li Youde took a closer look but found nothing.

But the stench was hard to conceal, and it made his brows furrow tightly together.

He covered his nose and asked, "What did you add to the flower soil? Why does it smell so bad?"

The woman replied timidly, "Hasn't the commander-in-chief heard that human excrement is the best nourishment for delicate flowers?"

Li Youde widened his eyes in shock: "You actually mixed feces into the flower soil?" After saying that, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

The woman nodded. "Yes, these pots are all newly added. Do you want to check them one by one, Commander-in-Chief?"

Li Youde waved his hands in disgust: "No, take it aside quickly, the smell is enough to make you vomit!"

The woman didn't dare to say anything anymore and quickly carried the flowerpot away.

At this time, the old Imperial Censor Pei also walked over quickly. He said with a smug look on his face, "Meng Qingshan, what else do you have to say now? I have already indulged your temper and let you search the Pei Mansion thoroughly. You even almost dug up the golden peony prepared for the emperor. Are you still not satisfied?"

Meng Xiang's eyes were dim, he didn't believe that Pei Fu was innocent.

But he hasn't found the evidence yet!

Just as he hesitated, the old censor Pei already looked impatient.

He said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Meng, I want you to go to the palace right now and explain the situation to the emperor. This is what you owe to our Pei family!"

When Meng Xiang was in a dilemma, he saw Lin Yiwan actually supporting Prince Li and walking towards him quickly.

She spoke slowly, "I've heard that the Pei Mansion is rich and luxurious, but I never thought that the flowers in the room would be so fresh and vibrant even if they're not in season!"

Old Madam Pei was very troubled by this sharp-tongued Marquis' wife. Now that it had been confirmed that she was Prince Li's biological daughter, she became even more wary of her.

She said with a forced smile, "Madam Hou, you are too kind. We are also under the emperor's order to cultivate flowers. We just want to add some bright colors to the palace banquet!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "No wonder there are so many flowers every time I attend a palace banquet, it turns out it's all thanks to the Pei Mansion!"

Madam Pei quickly waved her hands: "I dare not be greedy for credit. I am only trying to help the Emperor and offer my humble contribution to the court!"

Lin Yiwan didn't say anything else, but asked Meng Xiang: "Didn't you notice?"

Meng Xiang winked at her, and then his eyes fell on the pots of golden peonies.

Lin Yiwan immediately understood what he meant. She walked over quickly and said, "Oh, this flower is really beautiful, and it even has a golden border, Father?"

Her sweet voice cheered Prince Li up, and he said lovingly, "Since my Wanwan likes it, then take a pot away. I believe Mr. Pei won't be so stingy!"

Of course, Old Censor Pei would not be stingy. He was happily trying to curry favor with Prince Li.

He quickly smiled and said, "Since the Marquis's wife likes it, don't just say one pot, you can directly put two pots on it. I will order someone to load it on the carriage for you!"

The woman standing nearby with her head bowed suddenly showed a look of panic. She hurriedly tried to stop him, "Master, you absolutely cannot do this! These six golden peonies were originally meant to be given to the Emperor to be displayed at the New Year's Palace Banquet!"

Old Imperial Censor Pei glared at her unhappily. "If Prince Li likes it, you have to keep an eye on it first. Isn't the New Year's Palace Banquet still two months away? You can cultivate it again, or even change to another flower. I think that crabapple is good. Gather six pots and send them to the palace. The Emperor won't blame you!"

The woman argued, "Master, the meanings of the crabapple and the golden peony are completely different. There's no way to use other flowers to replace them!"

Old Imperial Censor Pei angrily rebuked, "How dare you! Prince Li has made outstanding military achievements while guarding the border, and even the Emperor holds him in high esteem. How could you be so reluctant to part with a few pots of flowers? This matter is none of your business. When the Emperor asks, I will personally explain it!"

Seeing the cold sweat on the woman's forehead due to her anxiety, Lin Yiwan immediately realized that these pots of flowers were probably not simple.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Since it's a gift for the emperor, I can't take away someone else's love. I'll give it back to you right now!"

She turned and walked towards the flower stand, but she didn't know what she stepped on and suddenly stumbled.

She didn't stand firmly and flew out.

King Li supported her without thinking, but she threw the flowerpot in her hand directly out.

With a loud crash, the remaining pots of golden peonies were all smashed to the ground.

Lin Yiwan was stunned. Her eyes instantly turned red. She sobbed anxiously, "I'm sorry, Father. Did I get into trouble? I was careless. I don't know what tripped me!"

Prince Li said anxiously, "What are these pots of flowers? Did you drop anything? You're pregnant now, so you can't afford any mishaps. Otherwise, how am I going to explain this to Zhan Yan?"
