Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 3 Paid Off

Pei Qingyan realized that he was losing his mind because of the jealous woman Jiang Wanqiao, and took a step back in embarrassment.

"Nonsense! My mansion has its own businesses, and you are just helping to manage them. This is what you should do."

"Besides, it's just a matter of a few shops. Even without you, my mother, grandmother, and at the very least, my sister can handle it. How dare you take credit for such a small thing?"

"As for the one million taels, your Jiang family helped my Ningyuan Marquisate, but I also gave you the position of my legal wife!"

"My mansion has already repaid the favor owed to your Jiang family! Now, you're still trying to use this to blackmail me?"

"To repay a favor is unworthy of a gentleman!"

Pei Qingyan said this and glanced at her with great disapproval.

"And... you're a woman, how can you behave so frivolously!"

When Song Wan heard Pei Qingyan's series of accusations, she found that he didn't even consider the kindness of Jiang Wanqiao and the Jiang family.

And such a person actually had the nerve to call her a gentleman!

My father once said that the mistakes of a villain must be written down.

It’s true.

Everyone said that her father, Song Yi, was a treacherous minister who rose to power by flattering the previous emperor, and privately called him "a treacherous prime minister."

But in her opinion, these so-called noble families.

Nothing more than that.

Song Wan thought about it and curled her lips with a hint of sarcasm, glancing at Pei Qingyan.

"Repaying a favor in exchange for something is not what a gentleman does, so what about repaying a favor with hatred?"

"Since General Pei has said he has paid it off, let's settle the accounts."

"The hereditary title of your Ningyuan Marquisate lasted until your father's death. When I married you, you held no official position and no title to inherit."

"What precious thing is your position as the legal wife? Is it worth one million taels?"

"General Pei, don't you usually...look in the mirror?"

Pei Qingyan's face became even uglier because of these humiliating words.

My father lost his food and money near Jiangnan because he was attacked by the enemy, but the late emperor was too cruel to listen to such things.

With no other options left, my father had no choice but to seek help from the Jiang family, the richest family in Jiangnan at the time.

But with so much money, how could the Jiang family easily agree to this offer when they were not related at all? So his father came up with the idea of ​​letting him marry the Jiang family's legitimate daughter.

At that time, Jiahe had already gone to Mobei to marry, and he had no other thoughts about his marriage. For the safety of the Marquis's Mansion, he could only humble himself and try to please Jiang Wanqiao and gain the approval of the Jiang family.

But as the legitimate son of a marquis, he actually looked down on these money-grubbing businessmen from the bottom of his heart.

But the Jiang family treated this daughter like a treasure, and Jiang Wanqiao was raised a little spoiled, which made him spend a lot of effort.

So after marrying Jiang Wanqiao, the fact that he had been humble and fawning over her in the Jiang family became a thorn in his heart.

After they got married, he kept dragging his feet and never consummated the marriage with her.

During these days after returning to Beijing, he continued to treat her coldly on purpose.

He had to make her understand that marrying him was actually marrying above her station!

It is the blessing that her Jiang family has accumulated over several lifetimes!

What is Jiang Wanqiao's background? What qualifications does she have to look down on the Marquis' Mansion?

Pei Qingyan thought about it and snorted coldly.

"No matter how poor my mansion is, it's not something a mere merchant's daughter like you can interfere with!"

"If you don't think it's worth it, why did you come all the way here to marry me?"

Song Wan just raised an eyebrow at him and asked instead of answering.

"I should be asking General Pei this question. If you despise me, a merchant's daughter, so much, why did you travel thousands of miles to the Jiang Mansion to ask for my hand in marriage?"

"If General Pei hadn't repeatedly expressed his feelings to me at the Jiang family and made so many vows, why would I have left my hometown and married so far away!"

"But how did General Pei treat me?"

"He hasn't been home for three years. As soon as he came back, he colluded with everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, hiding it from me like I was a fool. He brought his childhood sweetheart into the mansion as the orphan of an old friend! He secretly had sex with her right under my nose!"

"Then, without telling me, he asked the Queen Mother to grant her the position of co-wife, and only informed me after everything was settled!"

"Even when I hanged myself in a rage and nearly died in the Marquis' Mansion, not a single person from your Mansion came to inquire about me!"

"General Pei, ask yourself, are you and your Ningyuan Marquisate doing justice to me and our Jiang family for everything you have done, piece by piece?"

Listening to the accusations of the woman in front of him, Pei Qingyan finally felt a little guilty.

in fact……

When he first saw the woman in Jiangnan, he was stunned for a moment.

If I hadn’t reunited with Jiahe in Mobei.

He actually thought that when he came back and smoothed out her arrogance, he could consummate their marriage and become a normal couple...
