The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

The warm breeze was gentle, and the setting sun fell in the distance, leaving behind its last brilliant trail.

The trees in and outside the yard rustled in the wind, and from time to time a few pomegranate petals fell to the ground, with orange and red dots.

Sang Wan sat in the yard, set up a small medicine stove, and began to boil medicine for Sang's mother.

Shi Luochuan had also been busy for a long time. He brought a wooden stool and sat over, and the two began to chat.

"Why did the Pei family suddenly let you go home?"

"I was so clumsy that I couldn't even be a maid, so they let me come back."

Sang Wan fanned the stove and the fire became brighter.

"That's great. That's great."

Shi Luochuan was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

But there was a hint of sadness in his brow, as if he was worried about something.

"What's wrong, Brother Luochuan?"

Sang Wan was good at observing people's expressions and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Shi Luochuan lowered his head, a little anxious: "Nothing, just some small things, I will take care of it."

Sang Wan uttered an "oh," "But what about going to the provincial capital to take the exam? We're about to prepare for the Autumn Examination, right?"

"Well, August, it's still in time. I have confidence, Awan." Shi Luochuan looked at her with hot eyes.

Sang Wan blushed slightly and averted her eyes:

"Brother Luochuan is so smart, he will definitely be able to do it."

"The elders of my clan asked me to prepare well for now. A squire is willing to sponsor me for the exam preparation and travel expenses, on the condition that he lets me... live in their house. I may leave in two days." Shi Luochuan stammered.

"That's a good thing. If you study hard, you will definitely be able to get the first place in the imperial examination." Sang Wan didn't think much about it. "Then you will be the first place in the imperial examination, and the third place in the imperial examination!"

"Well, I'm just staying at his house so it's convenient for me to prepare for the exam. Don't think too much about it."

Shi Luochuan was obviously not good at lying. His hesitant look made Sang Wan guess that there was another hidden reason behind this squire's help.

Since ancient times, those who take money from others are considered inferior. A proud scholar like Shi Luochuan must be very sad.

Sang Wan didn't want to make him sad, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"I won't think too much about it, just focus on your studies."

Shi Luochuan seemed to have put down a heavy stone in his heart:

"That's fine, that's fine."

He carefully raised his eyes to look at Sang Wan, and seeing that she looked normal, he tentatively asked, "What do you think of what I told you a few days ago?"

Sang Wan knew that he was asking about giving her a hairpin as a marriage proposal, but marriage is a serious matter and should not be treated lightly. Moreover, she was in danger now and it was not convenient for her to respond.

"Mom is still sick, and I just got back."

Sang Wan hesitated for a moment and lowered his head:

"How about we wait until my brother finishes his exams?"

Shi Luochuan also had this intention:

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, no hurry."

Although the squire was willing to sponsor him to take the exam, he made an impolite request, hoping that he would arrange a marriage with his youngest daughter. At this moment, he didn't know how to refuse.

If he refused outright, the funding would be wasted. He needed money to take the exam, stay in a hotel, and buy pens, ink, paper, inkstone, and books. His income was meager and he was really struggling to make ends meet.

But if he didn't refuse, how could he get engaged to another woman when he already had Sang Wan in his heart?

He hadn't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days, as this matter was all on his mind. However, every time he went to Pei's house, he never saw Sang Wan.

Now that she's back, there's really no need to be anxious.

He will definitely be able to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

The wooden door outside the yard creaked.

Sang Wan looked up, then stood up and walked towards the door: "Who is it?"

No one answered at the door. There was only a light gray silk bag hanging on the wooden door, with the tassels swaying slightly.

Sang Wan felt that the silk cloth looked familiar.

The texture of this brocade seems to be made from the same material as Pei Jinzhi's clothes.

There were ten taels of silver and a note in the cloth bag.

Sang Wan opened it and saw the words: wages.

It is Pei Jinzhi's name.

Doesn’t she get one tael of silver per month?

Sang Wan held the purse, his palms warm.

I chased him out of the alley, and the last ray of sunlight disappeared into the darkness. There was no trace of him in sight.

Now that you are here, why don’t you return my indenture and the golden lock to me?

"Master, since you are here, why don't you go in?"

Li Jiu wondered, eavesdropping was not the master's hobby.

Pei Jinzhi's mind was cold and his gaze was far away:

"What are you going in for? Just to get paid."

"But you are so angry today, isn't it because of this girl? Aren't we here to take her back home?"

It was filled with murderous intent. It was the first time I had seen it in over twenty years.

Pei Jinzhi retracted his gaze, expressionless:

"I originally wanted to send her back home, but today I just took advantage of the situation and taught Kang mother and son a lesson."

Li Jiu muttered, "But your ability to go with the flow is really scary. I almost thought you were really going to kill the brother and sister."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Jiu muttered back:

"When I came here today, the Sang family was in a complete mess. No wonder that nerd was hesitating at the gate of our house. The house was completely smashed to pieces. I thought the master must be worried, so I spent some money and had someone buy some things to send over."

Pei Jin was startled and glanced sideways:

"Why would I be worried?"

Li Jiu smiled secretly: "Yes, it is my subordinate who is worried. After all, Miss Sang calls me brother, and it is only natural that I should take care of her."

"Oh? Aren't you the one who's always shouting and wanting to kill her?" Pei Jinzhi's lips twitched slightly.

"Hey, I can see that too. This girl is honest. She can't help herself."

Li Jiu began to talk about the Sang family in vivid detail:

"Miss Sang's mother was very ill. I heard from the neighbors that she coughed all day long and even coughed up a lot of blood. If she hadn't worked as a handyman in the pharmacy all these years, making medicine for her mother, her mother might have died long ago."

"And her sister-in-law is so mean. She's always throwing pots and pans around and scolding people so much that the neighbor's dog has to avoid her."

"Don't even mention her brother. He spends all his time gambling. I heard he's in debt."

"I think we should call Miss Sang back. After all, the people from Tianxuan Sect are forcing her. If she is used by Tianxuan Sect, wouldn't it be..."

Pei Jinzhi used his jade fan to lift the door curtain: "Stop the car."

The servant stopped the carriage.

Li Jiu was stunned: "What's wrong, Master?"

"How about you get off the car now and go to the Sang family to be a guard?" Pei Jinzhi laughed.

Li Jiu muttered: "I just feel sorry for her..."

"There are so many pitiful people in this world. How can we sympathize with them? Don't interfere with the karma of others."

Pei Jinzhi put away his fan, and the curtain fell again with a rustling sound.

Li Jiu shut his mouth and thought, haven't you intervened enough?

After a while, he uttered quietly, "Master, I thought you treated Miss Sang differently."

Li Jiu's words were very soft, but they still fell into Pei Jinzhi's ears.

He sat upright in the middle of the carriage and slowly closed his eyes.

Is it different? How could it be? He didn't mean to.

If it really exists, it is just being used.

From the time they met on the pleasure boat to their separation today, in just a few days, she used Sang Wan as a target to get rid of the people he wanted to get rid of.

The tides come and go, people gather and disperse. From now on, we each go our separate ways; all good things must come to an end.

He is still the same hard-hearted Pei Jinzhi.

"It's no different. If she is used by the Tianxuan Sect, I will kill her."
