Sang Wan sneaked back to the new house.

As soon as the lamp oil in the house was lit, she was almost scared to death.

Madam Cheng was sitting in the room, seemingly smiling, but actually eerie and scary.

"You're scaring me, scaring me to death." Sang Wan patted his chest and sighed, "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to my place?"

"I heard you made a fortune, so I came to congratulate you. Why are you going to the Pei Mansion so late at night?"

"Are you spying on me?" Sang Wan sat down unhappily and unbuttoned his nightgown.

"Why do you say surveillance? I'm just worried that something might happen to you. The Pei Mansion is heavily guarded now. If you rush in rashly, aren't you afraid of being caught by Pei Jinzhi? I'm doing this for your own good." Madam Cheng spoke with concern, but in fact she wanted to know what on earth she was going in for.

"Of course it's for that imperial edict. If you hadn't insisted on having it, I would have killed Pei Jinzhi long ago."

Sang Wan gritted his teeth, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Madam Cheng saw the expression on her face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you find it?"

Sang Wan shook her head, her face full of disappointment and loneliness: "No."

Seeing this, Madam Cheng began to comfort her:

"You kid, I'm not even in a hurry, why are you so anxious? Tomorrow he's going to come to Tianshengtang for acupuncture. I'll have Buyu knock him unconscious and take the opportunity to touch his underwear. Since you're in the pharmacy, you can also keep an eye on what's going on."

Sang Wan didn't want to see him and wanted to decline: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to go back to work at the pharmacy now?"

The family is not short of money anymore. If I show up in the shop again, my sister-in-law Liu Yumei will definitely complain.

"Oh, you just got rich, and you're already turning your back on me?" Madam Cheng sneered.

"With your brother, he might not be able to hold on to a mountain of gold and silver. Why don't you leave yourself a way out?"

"Can you wait for me? I'll go, won't I?"

She had finally turned her life around and had some hope in life. She only begged Sang Daqing to stop gambling and could not bear to hear such words.

When Madam Cheng saw that she agreed, her smile became even brighter, and even her words became more pleasant:

"Okay, I wish your Sang family peace and prosperity. Come on time tomorrow."

After saying that, she walked out of the house and disappeared in a flash.

Sang Wan felt a little jealous. If she had Madam Cheng's martial arts skills, she would have killed Pei Jinzhi long ago.

Unfortunately, she was only willing to teach light skills and some mediocre kung fu, which were barely enough for escaping.

The next day, Pei Jinzhi was still asleep when he heard the voice of the Princess of Jianing calling from the door.

"Brother Jinzhi, I want to see Brother Jinzhi."

"County Lady, the prince hasn't woken up yet."

"Don't stop me, I want to see Jinzhi..." Jianing was stunned, and her whole body was like petrified.

Pei Jinzhi's door opened, but the person who came out was not him.

Baili Xi opened his robe, sleepy-eyed, "It's so noisy, who is it?!"

"You... Baili Xi! Why are you here?"

Jianing looked at the large muscles exposed on his chest and couldn't help swallowing.

"As for me, haha, the emperor ordered me to lead a team to Fengshui to protect you, the county lord." Baili Xi smiled with messy hair.

The Princess of Jianing's face darkened. She naturally knew what the emperor had said. "Why didn't anyone inform me when you arrived?"

Pei Jinzhi had already put on his clothes and walked to the door.

A ray of early morning sunlight shone on his face, the scenery was bright and clear, and the trees were towering in the wind, which made Jianing's heart tremble.

Baili Xi winked at Pei Jinzhi and said something very ambiguous on purpose:

"The team didn't arrive until after noon today. I missed Wenruo so much that I came early. We haven't slept on the same bed together in a long time, and I miss it terribly. Don't you agree?"

"What, you slept together last night?!" Princess Jianing's face changed.

Baili Xi hooked his arm around Pei Jinzhi's neck and raised his eyebrows provocatively: "We are more than just sleeping together."

His eyes were slightly drooping, revealing a romantic look that was even more alluring than those vixen in the brothels.

Pei Jinzhi remained silent and frowned, "The county lady got up so early just to ask about this?"

Princess Jianing clutched her handkerchief against her chest, feeling jealous and angry.

"Brother Jinzhi, you hugged me last night and told me you loved me. How could you...how could you do this with these men again?"

Baili Xi was stunned and looked at Pei Jinzhi: "Last night? You bastard, it was me you were hugging last night."

Pei Jinzhi looked at the Jianing County Master with a serious expression, his eyes were murderous:

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. When did I ever step out of Zhaoyun Courtyard last night?"

"Impossible. You clearly talked to me all night long, telling me about what happened back then, and said you wanted to resolve the grudges between us."

Pei Jinzhi's brows were twisted into a black line, his face full of disgust:

"County Lady, you are still unmarried, so you should be careful with your words. These meaningless words will only ruin your reputation."

Princess Jianing had never suffered such injustice.

It was clearly him who found it, so why is he refusing to admit it?

"Brother Jinzhi, why did you change your attitude overnight? You even kissed me last night! Don't even think about denying it!"

Pei Jinzhi's face was as dark as a pool of black, and his black eyes were filled with murderous intent:

"Li Jiu, seal off Lingyue Pavilion and find out where this scoundrel came from!"

That person is definitely not him.

Who was so bold as to break through the numerous guards and sneak into Lingyue Pavilion?!

Li Jiu bowed, his face solemn and dignified: "Yes!"

He immediately set out with a group of people.

The Princess of Jianing covered her mouth in disbelief.

"You...what did you say?"

It wasn't him last night? Then who was it?!

Pei Jinzhi didn't even want to look at her:

"I, Pei, will not change my name or surname. If I did it, I will admit it without hesitation. If I didn't do it, there's no way you can throw dirty water on me. If anyone disrespects you, I'll dig three feet into the ground and dig him out!"

The Princess of Jianing stood there in a daze. Suddenly, she screamed and ran away, covering her face.

Baili Xi clicked his tongue and shook his head behind him:

"How heartless, Wen Ruo."

"Feeling bad? Then just say you kissed her, how about that?"

Baili Xi blocked his hand: "That's not necessary."

Pei Jinzhi glanced at him sideways, his eyes falling on his exposed chest, and said with disgust: "Dissolute."

"Hey, I'm just trying to help you. I'm disgusting little Jianing!"

Baili Xi buttoned up his robe as he spoke and continued, "Your Pei Mansion is no good. You're actually hiding a playboy. Be careful she returns to the capital to file a complaint."

Pei Jinzhi's eyes deepened. "No matter what happens on a daily basis, I don't think these people would dare to provoke Jianing even if they had ten heads."

"Could it be that someone else sneaked into Pei Mansion last night?" Baili Xi raised his eyebrows.

If he can sneak in, there may be others.

"But, this person actually wanted to flirt with Jianing? This seems a bit unreasonable."

Baili Xi was still talking to himself, but Pei Jinzhi had already gone through countless possibilities in his mind.

The Lady of Jianing County just said that the man mentioned what happened that year to her and said that he wanted to resolve the grudge.

The conflict between the two was caused by the kidnapping case by mountain bandits in the suburbs of Beijing ten years ago.

Why would someone suddenly ask about this?

Two people came to Pei Jinzhi's mind:

Sang Daqing, Sang Wan.

Could it be Sang Daqing?

When he thought of his slick appearance and restless hands, flames flashed in Pei Jinzhi's eyes.

He was wrong and thought Sang Daqing was just a useless gambler.

He was able to bypass the heavy defenses and enter Lingyue Pavilion, he is really well hidden.

Sang Daqing, you are courting death.
