The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again
Chapter 23 The Tree Wants to Be Still, but the Wind Does Not Stop
After a while.
Pei Jinzhi handed the written letter to Li Jiu.
"Send a letter to Master Wang of Bailu Academy tomorrow, saying that we will be sending the Third Young Master to the academy to study at the beginning of next month, and ask him to make the arrangements."
"Master, are you worried that the Third Young Master will be affected?"
"The trees want to be still, but the wind will not stop. Fengshui Town will soon be unsafe. Wuyan is a good person, and we must not delay his studies."
Li Jiu was very moved: "Grandpa really worries about this family."
"No matter how much I worry, it's nothing compared to the suffering my father endures in the capital."
What he was most worried about was Pei You in the capital.
The emperor came to power illegitimately, and on the surface he allowed these founding ministers to enter the palace to accompany him, but in reality it was no different from house arrest.
But he had been on the throne for more than a year, and those who were dissatisfied had already been beheaded. Logically, the ministers who entered the palace to accompany him should also be released.
Who could have imagined that there would be such a vicious person as to issue an imperial edict of succession?
"Master, I'm afraid someone is targeting our Duke's Mansion specifically for this matter."
The Zhenguo Mansion is different today than it used to be. Pei You had already relinquished his military power. When the late emperor was alive, they had conquered the world together. Even without military power, they had meritorious service. No one would dare to touch the Pei family.
But it’s different for officials nowadays. A new emperor appoints new ministers, and they are afraid that their wealth and status will be coveted by others.
"A general without military power is like a toothless tiger, anyone can come up and punch him." Li Jiu was indignant.
Pei Jinzhi held his chin, his brow furrowed. "One more thing. The Princess of Jianing County has come to Fengshui Town."
Li Jiu was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly:
"She's really haunting us! We finally managed to get here after leaving the capital, and now she's haunting us again after just a few days of peace!"
The Princess of Jianing is the younger sister of the current emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Rong, and her maiden name is Rong Zhuer.
When she was young, she was kidnapped while traveling and was rescued by Pei Jinzhi. She fell deeply in love with him and refused to marry anyone else.
Ever since the Pei Mansion moved back to Fengshui Town for temporary residence, she has been making a fuss in the capital and clamoring to come to Fengshui Town.
When Kang sent someone to tell Pei Jin today, he was overwhelmed.
"The county lady will arrive at Fengshui tomorrow and stay at the post house. After the county government hosts a banquet, she will come to the mansion for a chat. According to the old ancestor's style, even if he is not happy, he will still take her back to the Pei Mansion for a short stay. After all, the conditions at the post house are not as good as those at the Pei Mansion. Everyone in the mansion, please be vigilant and don't let any trouble happen."
Li Jiu had a bitter face.
This Jianing County Lady is unruly and domineering, and is extremely difficult to serve.
He couldn't help but mutter, "How can a place as small as Fengshui Town accommodate a giant like her?"
"I'm not worried about her, but whether the government has other motives behind allowing her to come to Fengshui Town at this critical moment."
Pei Jinzhi had a bad feeling.
Li Jiu slapped his forehead and said, "A marriage is granted! She's crazy about marrying you. This must be the case!"
Everyone in the capital city knew what Princess Jianing felt for Pei Jinzhi.
She always kept saying "I should repay your life-saving grace with my body" and she would not marry anyone other than Pei Jinzhi.
But Pei Jinzhi was a tactless person. After he fell ill, he was in a bad mood when he met anyone and never took her seriously.
But since the Emperor and Concubine Rong had tacitly agreed to her coming, they were naturally happy to see it happen.
Pei Jinzhi frowned and glared at him.
Li Jiu and he thought the same thing.
"Master, I sympathize with you." Li Jiu laughed, "You can't afford to offend me, but you can't avoid me either. My Lord, just give in."
Pei Jinzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Get lost."

The sky was just beginning to turn light.
Sang Wan was dragged out of bed by Qiuyue by her ears.
"Why are you sleeping? Do you think you're a rich lady? Why don't you get up and work?"
"It hurts." She said with sleepy eyes, "Let go. I'll get up."
The medicine Qinghe applied to her last night was indeed very effective. Today, apart from a slight pain when she got out of bed, she had no problem walking.
Qiuyue threw a broom at her and urged her to clean the yard.
From today on, she is a third-class maid in Zhaoyun Courtyard, with a monthly salary of one string of coins.
"A distinguished guest will be arriving soon. Everyone, be alert. If you make any mistakes, you will be in trouble."
Qiuyue has the spirit of a maid in charge and arranges things in an orderly manner.
The maids and servants scattered around and started working one by one under the daylight.
Qiuyue inspected Sang Wan's place and found several faults.
"After sweeping the yard, go clean the toilet."
Sang Wan: Cleaning the toilet? Me?
Qiuyue sneered: "What, you have any objections? If you don't want to do it, get out!"
Sang Wan didn't want to argue with her, "Okay, let's wash it."
It's not like she hasn't washed it before.
She has done all kinds of odd jobs in Tianshengtang and is not picky about what she does.
After Qiuyue left, another maid came over and said:
"You're done. You've offended Qiuyue. Don't expect anything good to happen to you."
Sang Wan was sweeping the fallen leaves obediently:
"I don't want to either, what can I do?"
"She's deliberately trying to make trouble for you. Cleaning the toilet is a job for a fourth-class maid. If I were you, I would complain to the prince."
Sang Wan groaned. Complain?
Her butt was beaten up yesterday, and she was so upset that she went to provoke Pei Jinzhi to get beaten again.
The little girl was full of evil intentions and was trying to provoke her into trouble. She wouldn't fall for it.
No matter how the girl named Dongxue teased her, Sang Wan remained silent.
After a while, Dongxue felt bored and went to chat with other servants.
When Sang Wan finished sweeping the yard, the morning glow was already picturesque.
She put down the broom and followed the others to the kitchen to get breakfast.
But when it was her turn, there was nothing left.
The other maids were sitting at the wooden table, whispering to each other and laughing at her.
The cook said with a stern face: "There are no more steamed buns. We only have rice with porridge. Eat it if you want. If you don't want to eat it, forget it."
Sang Wan took a look and saw that the small spoonful of rice water at the bottom of the pot had more water than rice, no different from rice soup.
"Eat, why don't you eat?"
Sang Wan held out the bowl and handed it to the cook.
This fat and bad woman would spill half a spoonful of thin rice soup outside the bowl.
Sang Wan glanced at her and felt distressed. What a waste.
The cook glared back at her with a fierce look on her face.
"What, do you have any objections?"
Sang Wan forced a smile: "No, I wouldn't dare."
The laughter all around became louder.
A maid said in a sarcastic tone:
"Yingying holds Chu Gong's waist. A foxy girl must rely on this slender waist to seduce men. She needs to eat less. If she gets fat, how can she please a man?"
"In my opinion, just don't eat it and just starve!"
"Only when you're exposed to the elements and look pitiful can a man feel sympathy for you."
A servant said with a smile: "Xiang Gui, you are missing a man, right? Otherwise, I feel so sorry for you!"
Xiang Gui rolled her eyes at him and spat:
"Go away, I'm not that kind of cheap thing. If you're a man, come on."
"Who is despicable? Who are you talking about?"
"It's still that slutty bitch who climbed into bed right away!"
Xianggui pretended to be surprised:
"Why, who else doesn't know?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, so what if she went to bed? In the end, she's still just a third-class maid!"
The crowd roared with laughter.
There was also a good maid among the servants who offered to help her.
"Miss Sang Wan, she has a foul mouth, just ignore her."
