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

Lingyue Pavilion.

After Baili Xi announced the secret order, he left in a hurry.

He couldn't stand the silly smile on Jianing County Master's face, and was afraid he would vomit if he stayed any longer.

Princess Jianing was naturally so excited that she couldn't express it in words.

She finally waited for the marriage decree she had been longing for. She could not hide her joy and looked and kissed again and again.

She had been around the emperor and the empress for many days, and finally got the emperor's approval. How could she not be happy?

Pei Jinzhi had been her dream throughout her teenage years, and now, this dream was finally coming true.

"Madam Qin, I can finally marry Brother Jinzhi." Her eyes were wet and she was so excited that she couldn't describe it.

The Princess of Jianing stroked Pei Jinzhi's name on the imperial edict over and over again, carefully rolled up the bright yellow edict, and placed it against her heart.

She fantasized about putting on her wedding dress, walking into the bridal chamber with Pei Jinzhi, living together in harmony and growing old together.

Nanny Qin frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy.

"County Lady, the Crown Prince may look elegant, but he has a violent temper. A few days ago, he almost strangled Mr. Pei and Miss Pei to death over a trivial matter. Are you really determined to marry him?"

This Pei Jinzhi is really too unreasonable.

There was such a big commotion in Pei Mansion today, and they didn't care about the reputation of the county lady at all.

How could such a heartless and cold-hearted man be worthy of his noble county lady?

Fortunately, the emperor's decree allowed the county lady and Pei Jinzhi to stay together for a month before announcing the decree, so there was still time.

"Mammy, you didn't see it with your own eyes, so how can you believe it so easily? Qingwu said she just caught a cold and her throat has been sore for the past few days, so she can't speak. You're overthinking it. As for the Second Young Master, I think he's never taken Brother Jinzhi seriously, which is really annoying."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Nanny Qin forced a smile:

"I was overthinking it. The county lady's wish has come true, and I congratulate her in advance. However, the emperor and the queen are very considerate and have given the county lady a month. This way, she can get to know the prince and the Pei family better."

"The old lady of the Pei family doesn't care about anything and won't come to the capital in the future. Just be polite. That mistress Kang is a distant relative who fell on hard times and is not Brother Jinzhi's biological mother. When I marry into the family, it's natural that I will be the head of the household. There's no reason for her to control the finances of this mansion. I'm the most favored county lady of the emperor and the empress. Who would dare to offend me?"

The Princess of Jianing laughed so hard that her body shook.

The Pei family is really to her liking.

Pei You was the Duke of Zhenguo. Apart from the royal family, his wealth and prestige were already the highest in the world.

Although Pei Jinzhi has been in poor health in recent years, seeing that he can have sex with maids and men, it must be nothing serious.

He should be open to both men and women, not just a person with a paternal fetish.

When Jianing thought of this, two red clouds appeared on her face.

A delicate and pretty girl like her is naturally worthy of Pei Jinzhi. After they get married, he will get to know her well.

Otherwise, why would he come to reconcile with her last night?

"Did the prince really come to your bed last night? Why do I feel something is wrong?" Nanny Qin was a little suspicious.

Pei Jinzhi has always been cold and aloof, and he is not a reckless person. The Princess Jianing has been trying to please him many times but he still hasn't shown any good face. So how could he sneak into the Princess's boudoir late at night?

She was certain there was some misunderstanding.

At this time, Li Jiu brought Qinghe to Lingyue Pavilion.

Jianing quickly hid the shining imperial edict into her sleeve.

Li Jiu had sharp eyes, but pretended not to see it, and bowed and said:

"County Lady, this is Miss Qinghe, the manor's female doctor. The prince specially ordered her to come and check your pulse."

The smile on Jianing's face grew even more:

"Brother Jinzhi still cares about me."

She also became more gentle towards Qinghe: "Come on."

"The county lady is in delicate health. Why don't we go into the inner room to diagnose her?" Qinghe lowered his head respectfully.

"Okay." The Princess of Jianing nodded.

Nanny Qin lifted the beaded curtain and led the way:

"Miss Qinghe, please."

Li Jiu was a man from outside the family, so he naturally could not enter a woman's boudoir, so he stood guard outside the door.

About half a cup of tea had passed before Qing He came out of the room carrying her medicine box. Meanwhile, the second son Pei Yanting and the third daughter Pei Qingwu happened to come in from outside.

"Why haven't you caught that scoundrel yet? Li Jiu."

Perhaps in order to show his authority in front of Lady Jianing, Pei Yanting deliberately put on a stern face.

"Second Master, we are still investigating."

Li Jiu didn't want to get entangled with him, so he bowed and left.

Pei Yanting felt humiliated when he saw him leave like that, and shouted after him, "Big Brother's people only have this much ability. They can't even handle such a small matter."

Pei Qingwu gloated, "The master is incompetent, so I, the servant, am useless. Sister Jianing, I saw Qinghe coming to take your pulse. Were you startled?"

"It's okay, but Lingyue Pavilion has been bustling with people these days, and it's giving me a headache just looking at them."

Jianing rubbed her forehead with her hand. She was so annoyed by being asked to recognize some scoundrel over and over again all day.

It was obviously Pei Jinzhi. Apart from him, who else would have the courage to flirt with her?

Could it be that Baili Xi is here and he is too embarrassed to recognize him?

When she thought of the kiss last night, her face turned red again.

Pei Yanting was stunned by the shy behavior of his daughter.

For a moment, his jealousy and hatred towards Pei Jinzhi deepened.

Why can a sickly man like him marry a county lady with a good family background and good looks, but he can't?

The more this happened, the more he wanted to fight.

He pulled out an exquisite box from his sleeve:

"County Lady, please take care of yourself. This is thousand-year-old ginseng, it can calm the mind and replenish energy."

"The Second Young Master is thoughtful."

Jianing was a little surprised. The second son of the Pei family was quite sensible and generous.

Nanny Qin took the box and opened it. She saw that the ginseng was of high quality and worth a lot of money.

The gift is generous, and naturally the affection is generous. Compared with the iceberg Pei Jinzhi, this second young master is obviously much more likable.

"Sister Jianing, this is something my second brother found this morning after searching many pharmacies. He said women are delicate and if they get frightened, they won't sleep well, and if they don't sleep well, they won't be beautiful. You see, my second brother is so thoughtful."

Pei Qingwu seized the opportunity to curry favor with his brother.

The fact that someone cared about her so much greatly satisfied Jianing's vanity.

She couldn't help but look at Pei Yanting a few more times.

Although his appearance is not as handsome as Pei Jinzhi, they are still about 40% similar. His skin color is darker and his physique is stronger.

Seeing her looking at him, Pei Yanting also plucked up the courage to look at her with a burning gaze.

The corners of her eyes were slightly curved, and her eyes were as charming as silk.

Their eyes met, then they both lowered their heads, then looked up again and looked at each other again, with a little more warmth in their eyes.

Feelings are like threads, and they begin to intersect in this silent gaze, which is self-evident.

Pei Yanting was delighted.

The Princess of Jianing blushed slightly and turned away:

"I heard that you two brothers and sisters were sick, and I was just thinking of going to see you."

"It's a cold, a cold." Pei Yanting was evasive.

"I also heard that my sister went to the ancestral hall to pray for brother Jinzhi's biological mother. You are so warm-hearted." Princess Jianing took Pei Qingwu's hand and pulled her to sit down warmly.

Pei Qingwu touched her neck and smiled uglier than crying.

"My brother's mother is also my mother."

Princess Jianing had a much better impression of the two siblings.

*

Zhaoyun Courtyard.

As soon as Pei Jinzhi came back, he soaked himself in the bathtub.

The clothes I had worn before were already soaked through due to the unbearable pain and were sticking to my body, making me feel very uncomfortable.

Somehow, he thought of Sang Wan's face for no reason.

When she was in Zhaoyun Courtyard, she was completely lawless when serving him in bathing. She made him do everything by himself and acted more like a master than him.

Humph... He couldn't help but sneer.

How can a woman like this be a maid? She is totally unqualified.

After thinking about it for a long time, he took a shower, changed his clothes and put on a moon-white robe.

Li Jiu and Qing He were already waiting in the flower hall.

Qing He lowered his head and said, "My Lord, there is a lingering scent of incense in the County Lady's room."

Pei Jinzhi nodded, as he expected.

"I know, go ahead."

After Qing He left, Li Jiu took out a piece of white rice paper from his pocket and unfolded it:

Li Jiu: "Master, there are a pair of very light footprints on the roof tiles. I believe they were left by Lecher."

Pei Jinzhi took it with his hands twisted, the footprints were not big.

is her.

His brows twitched violently.

"We'll stop investigating this matter here. If the old lady or Mrs. Kang ask, just say we're still investigating."

Pei Jinzhi placed the rice paper on the lamp oil and burned it as much as possible.

Li Jiu was a little surprised, but since his master had his own ideas, he didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, the Third Young Master is asking for an audience outside the courtyard."

"No banquet?" Pei Jinzhi narrowed his eyes and understood: "Oh, it's about going to the academy."

"It seems that the Third Young Master doesn't want to leave Aunt Zhao."

He stood outside the yard for a long time with a sad face, and even a fool could see it.

Pei Jinzhi lowered his eyes, revealing a rare hint of tenderness:

"Let him go back. Tell him that this matter is a foregone conclusion. A real man should stand firm in the world. How can he live in seclusion under the eaves and be a swallow on the beam? If he fails to complete his studies and establish himself, how can he be a descendant of the Pei family in the future?"

"My Lord is right. I will go and persuade the Third Young Master."
