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

As soon as Sang Wan left, Li Jiu came in.

"Master, why is Miss Sang unhappy?"

Pei Jinzhi seemed not to have heard, and opened his eyes again and asked, "How is the Dashan Pagoda being handled?"

"Everyone in the Tianxuan Sect's ambush was captured, but Madam Cheng was so skilled in Qing Gong that she escaped. Xiao Shun led his men to the outskirts of Xijiao Mountain, but they came up empty-handed. The cave was empty."

"What have you discovered?"

"Take a look at this."

Li Jiu took out a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve, unfolded it carefully, and handed it to Pei Jinzhi.

There was a pile of tea leaves on the silk cloth.

Pei Jinzhi lowered his head and sniffed carefully, his eyebrows moving slightly:

"Dragon group beats snow."

Longtuan Shengxue is a type of tribute tea from Beiyuan. Due to factors such as climate, moisture, and humidity, its output is extremely small. Therefore, most of the tribute from Jianzhou was Longfeng tea group, and this type of tea was rarely seen.

Not to mention the people in the cave, even in the entire Xia Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who can drink "Dragon Ball Better than Snow".

"There is also a broken teacup. You can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money." Li Jiu took out another piece of silk cloth, which contained several pieces of broken porcelain.

Pei Jinzhi took a piece of the fragment and looked at it carefully in the candlelight, his brows furrowed even deeper:

"It's a black gold glaze silver rabbit teacup. The firing process is complicated and difficult to form, and each teacup is worth a fortune."

This person is not only particular about tea, but also extremely extravagant.

Pei Jinzhi's expression changed slightly, and his guess was almost right.

He raised his eyes to look at Li Jiu and said approvingly:

"Xiao Shun did a good job."

"Master, even though this kid can't even fart even with eight sticks, he's very careful. Follow me."

Pei Jinzhi laughed and felt a pain in his back.

"He's not your son, it's up to you."

Li Jiu chuckled and scratched his head:

"A disciple is half a son."

"A generous reward." Pei Jinzhi nodded. "Once the news that I'm not dead gets out, the people from Tianxuan Sect and the Imperial City Bureau will definitely not let it go. We need to increase our vigilance in the mansion for the next few days."

"Yes." Li Jiuyi bowed and continued:

"By the way, Lord Baili sent a message saying that the secret decree granting the marriage has been burned by the county lady."

Pei Jinzhi's brows relaxed: "He must have added fuel to the fire."

Li Jiu covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "Master Baili has a good plan."

Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and whispered a few words to him.

Li Jiu opened his mouth in surprise:

"Master, are you serious?"

Pei Jinzhi's tone was firm and unquestionable:

"From today on, she is the eldest grandmother of the Pei Mansion and the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion."

Li Jiu thought of the danger tonight and gave a thumbs up:

"Master, Miss Sang, no, Grandma is truly a heroine. You remained fearless in the face of danger tonight, which truly earns your respect."

The most taboo thing during the acupuncture and bloodletting method is interruption. At that time, Pei Jinzhi had already died.

If Sang Wan had not held Kang hostage and pierced the Baihui acupoint in time, Pei Jinzhi would not have been able to breathe and the consequences would have been disastrous.

Pei Jinzhi's original plan was to fake his own death tonight in order to force the Princess of Jianing to retreat; but in order to protect Sang Wan, he was hit by the fatal blow and died for real. Although Li Jiu appeared calm on the surface, he was actually almost scared to death.

I'm afraid something bad will happen and there will be no way around it.

Fortunately, there is Sang Wan!

"You're absolutely right. Grandma is very useful!"

"Let Baili Xi investigate the Imperial City Division."

"Yes." Li Jiu saw sweat on his forehead again and helped him lie down slowly:

"Master, please take a rest. We still have difficulties to overcome, so please take care of yourself."

"Is there any news about Bai Shi?"

Pei Jinzhi breathed heavily.

"Divine Doctor Bai is on his way to Fengshui Town. Master, you must hold on."

Pei Jinzhi nodded slightly, feeling much more relieved.

"With her here, I'll be safe."

Li Jiu didn't understand who she was referring to, so he just took over the conversation:

"Divine Doctor Bai is naturally good. But Cheng Buyu is his senior brother, so I feel a little uneasy."

Pei Jinzhi looked at the ceiling, his eyes far away:

"Cheng Yingqu, the imperial physician of the previous dynasty, was a remarkable man. Originally a beggar, he was rescued by a traveling doctor, who taught him all his medical skills. Later, by chance, he saved the life of the previous emperor, Chai Min, and was invited to the palace to serve as the imperial physician. In his twilight years, he returned to the countryside, unattached to the opulence of the imperial court. It's unknown why his son, Cheng Buyu, assisted the tyrant and worked for the Tianxuan Sect. There must be a hidden story behind this."

Li Jiu scratched the back of his head in distress:

"One moment he's the Prince of Shu, the next moment he's the imperial physician from the previous dynasty. This matter is becoming increasingly complicated."

"Chai Min was defeated in the battle and died by the sword of the late emperor. All his ten sons were slaughtered. His concubines were sent to Yeyouting as slaves, and his daughters were all imprisoned in the Jiaofangsi. The late emperor even favored Chai Min's queen, Zhou, in front of all the ministers during a break in the banquet. All nine clans of the Chai royal family were wiped out. Could there be any descendants still alive in the world?" Pei Jinzhi murmured.

Li Jiu's jaw almost dropped.

The late emperor...played so extravagantly?

"If there really are descendants alive, they must have a deep hatred for our Great Xia. No wonder they attempted to kill Prince Yun, Xiao Yi, in the suburbs of Beijing ten years ago."

Li Jiu now understood why.

"This is just my guess. I asked Sang Wan about the mastermind behind the Tianxuan Sect, but she didn't tell the truth."

Li Jiu couldn't hold it any longer:

"Master, could it be that Grandma has other thoughts?"

Pei Jinzhi shook his head slightly:

"Her problem still lies with the Sang family."

The people from Tianxuan Sect were pinching Sang Wan's vital point.

Li Jiu sighed: "No wonder you insisted on having her be the bride for the wedding. You wanted to use your status as the Crown Prince's wife to protect her. But..."

Li Jiu wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

Sang Wan's heart is on that nerd.

"No buts, she is the Crown Prince's wife."

Pei Jinzhi waved his hand and closed his eyes.

Li Jiu knew that he had made up his mind and that even ten oxen could not change it, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

"Master, don't worry. I'll go to the county government office at daybreak to register your and Grandmother's identity documents. I'm just afraid that the old lady and the mistress won't agree to the title of clan wife in the ancestral hall."

"You have to agree even if you don't agree. Go ahead."

Pei Jinzhi said nothing more, and Li Jiu retreated silently.

Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman; what is even more difficult is the white moonlight.

This Sang Wan looks so much like the girl that the prince likes.

Oh, I knew that the prince fell in love with her.

I remember I was still stubborn back then.

Oh man.

Fengshui Town Posthouse.

"What? Brother Jinzhi is awake?!"

The Princess of Jianing didn't bother to put on her makeup and hair, she picked up her dress and was about to go out. But after taking two steps, she fell to the ground and burst into tears:

"Madam Qin, the secret decree... the secret decree granting the marriage has been burned!"

If she had known that Pei Jinzhi would wake up, she should not have burned the decree that she had obtained with great difficulty.

Nanny Qin had caused such a scene at Pei's residence yesterday. She had never wanted to facilitate this marriage, but now, she did not feel sorry about it.

"County Lady, think about it. Even if Prince Pei wakes up, his body is probably useless. Why bother hanging yourself on this sick tree? Looking around Daxia, there are many good men. Look at General Pingxi's second son Shen Tianfang, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites Yan Yun, and the second son of the Pei family. They are all excellent."

As he was speaking, the maid at the door came to announce:

"County Lady, Pei Yanting, the second son of the Pei family, wants to see you. He said he bought you breakfast from Qinxiangzhai this morning."

Nanny Qin raised her handkerchief and smiled like a flower:

"Look, look, it's true. Speak of the devil and he appears. This second young master is really attentive. I heard that the line for breakfast at Qinxiangzhai starts at the hour of Mao."

The maid handed over an exquisite food box, which was still warm to the touch. "The Second Young Master said that the county lady should eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."

Princess Jianing looked at the snacks with a proud smile on her face.

Nanny Qin took the opportunity to say, "The County Lady is so noble. Any good man would fall at your feet. Why bother staring at that sickly boy? Look, in all these years, have you ever seen Prince Pei be so considerate?"

Princess Jianing thought what she said made a lot of sense.

Yes, she should be held and cared for like this.

"Well, this Pei family's Erlang is quite interesting."
