Reborn, meet you again!

But before Pei Qingyan could think clearly, Shen Jiahe behind him was already panicking.

Looking at Jun Jiuchen like this.

I’m afraid the Marquis’ Mansion cannot be saved.

She suddenly pushed away Pei Qingyan who was trying to stand in front of her and looked at Jun Jiuchen. Her usual gentle and dignified appearance had mostly disappeared.

"Jun Jiuchen, how dare you!"

"I am the princess personally appointed by the Queen Mother! Even if the Marquis's family is truly guilty, that is their business and has nothing to do with me. How can you arrest me?"

She had clearly seen Jun Jiuchen's style of behavior since he came to Beijing. Since he dared to arrest people in such a high-profile manner, he must be fully confident.

Without exception.

Since it is an indisputable fact that the scandal of the Marquis' Mansion has been exposed, she can only protect herself first.

Unexpectedly, Jun Jiuchen had no reaction to her words and just spoke calmly.

"Since you have married into the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, you belong to the mansion. Why can't I arrest you?"

Pei Qingyan, who was caught off guard and staggered by Shen Jiahe, looked at Shen Jiahe in disbelief after hearing his words. Shen Jiahe was speaking in a harsh tone.

Jiahe, this is...

Are you trying to distance yourself from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?

"Jiahe, you..."

He seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to start.

In this matter, it was indeed the Marquis' Mansion that dragged Jiahe down. Now she is pregnant, perhaps...

She was just doing it for the baby in her belly.

After all, he was her own flesh and blood. She had gone through so much trouble to keep him, so it was understandable that she would say something that went against her will in order to protect the child's safety...

Isn't it?

Thinking of this, Pei Qingyan finally suppressed the faint sense of loss in his heart and spoke.

"Your Highness, Princess Jianing has only been a disciple for a short time. Even if Your Highness believes the Marquis's family is guilty, that is a matter of the past and has nothing to do with her."

"Besides, she's pregnant now. If the prince takes her to the Five Elements Department, how will the prince explain to the queen mother if something happens to her?"

"Please think twice before acting, Your Majesty!"

When Shen Jiahe heard Pei Qingyan suddenly speak for him, he was thinking about what Jun Jiuchen had just said, "Since she married into the Marquis' Mansion, she belongs to the Marquis' Mansion."

Yes, the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion had nothing to do with him. As long as she severed ties with the Marquis' Mansion, Jun Jiuchen would have no reason to arrest her.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiahe immediately suppressed the panic on his face, put on a pitiful look, and walked to Pei Qingyan.

"Husband, I'm sorry, I was just too scared..."

Pei Qingyan looked at Shen Jiahe who had recovered as normal and comforted him.

"I know, I don't blame you."

Seeing that he didn't mind what he blurted out in a moment of impulse, Shen Jiahe felt relieved and whispered to Pei Qingyan.

"My dear husband, it's not that I don't want to share your hardships, but if I am also arrested, there will be no room for recovery in the Marquis' Mansion."

"How about you write me a letter of divorce... that way, I'll have time to negotiate for your mansion?"

Pei Qingyan was also a little moved when he heard this.

Indeed, if everyone in the Marquis' Mansion were to enter the Five Elements Bureau, there would be no chance of recovery for the Marquis' Mansion.

Although Shen Jiahe's voice was very soft, her words still fell into the ears of Jun Jiuchen, who had excellent hearing.

He looked at the hesitation in Pei Qingyan's eyes, and suddenly spoke thoughtfully.

“Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.”

"When disaster strikes, people's first reaction is often the most truthful... There are some things... Minister Pei must think carefully before making a decision."

His original target was Shen Jiahe, so how could he allow her to escape?

Pei Qingyan, who was originally tempted, felt his heart suddenly choke when he heard this.

Her mind couldn't help but think of the scene where Jiahe pushed her away just now, and...

She said without hesitation that even if the Marquis's family was really guilty, it was their business and had nothing to do with her... There was determination on her face.

That kind of Jiahe was unfamiliar to him.

If she really wrote this divorce letter, she would get away with it...

Would she really stop interfering in the affairs of the Marquisate and keep to herself?

And if she doesn't care, then the empress dowager will definitely not care about the life or death of the marquis's mansion.

After all, the only person who had a relationship with the Empress Dowager was Jiahe from beginning to end.

Then he, his father, mother, and sister... all had no way to survive...

Thinking of this, Pei Qingyan's heart suddenly became a mess and he didn't know how to make a decision.

Shen Jiahe's heart tightened when he saw the change in Pei Qingyan's expression.

This Jun Jiuchen...

But it was all her fault for being too impulsive just now, which made Pei Qingyan wary.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiahe immediately put on an increasingly pitiful look, looking straight at Pei Qingyan with tears in his eyes.

"My husband, he's clearly determined to avenge the Marquisate on Jiang Wanqiao's behalf, and that's why he's deliberately stirring things up."

"Are you really going to doubt me just because of his few words?"

After all, she was the woman he truly loved. Seeing Shen Jiahe like this, Pei Qingyan's heart softened.

However, when his father, mother, sister, and his own life and property were captured, he couldn't say the word "yes".

He was afraid.

I don't dare to bet the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion on her sincerity.

After all, apart from that moment of loss of composure, Jiahe had also lied to him about the child in her womb and what happened that night in Mobei.

She acted so realistically that he didn't notice a thing...

He had to admit that once trust was broken, it was difficult to repair it.

Pei Qingyan closed his eyes and finally hardened his heart.

"Jiahe, the case at the Marquis' Mansion is a major one. Even if you don't go looking for the Queen Mother, she will know..."

The implication is that he is unwilling to write.

Shen Jiahe felt a chill in his heart.

As expected, all the talk of deep affection and friendship is just lies!

In the face of interests, life and death, nothing matters.
