Reborn, meet you again!

After Shen Jiahe left the palace with the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, they quickly returned to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

All the members of the Pei family came out in an orderly manner to receive the order.

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict finished reading it, Pei Qingyan bowed respectfully.

The eunuch knew that Princess Jianing was now a favorite of the Queen Mother, so even though the reward from the Marquis' Mansion was a bit too meager, he did not show any displeasure. He just said a few auspicious words and led his people away.

When the people passing by saw people coming to the palace, some of them stopped to look.

They still remember the joke that happened at the Pei family’s wedding. Could something have happened again?

The servants of the Pei family had received instructions long ago, and they talked loudly, intentionally or unintentionally, and spread the news that their eldest master had been promoted to the Minister of War.

After returning to the main hall, Mrs. Pei naturally couldn't help but ask Shen Jiahe about his well-being.

Then, Shen Jiahe said that he was a little tired and went back to the room with Pei Qingyan.

Pei Qingyan's face was filled with unconcealable excitement as he held Shen Jiahe in his arms.

"Jiahe, thanks to you!"

"Don't worry, although my father's title can no longer be inherited, I will definitely make some achievements in the Ministry of War on my own! I will earn a bright future for you and your children!" Although Jiahe had told him about this matter a long time ago, it was different today because he had the actual decree in his hands.

Shen Jiahe just buried himself in Pei Qingyan's arms obediently.

"Of course I believe my husband."

"By the way, my cousin, the Empress Dowager, told me something today that might be helpful to your husband's future in the Ministry of War. Would you like to hear it?"

When Pei Qingyan heard the Queen Mother's name, he quickly straightened his expression and helped Shen Jiahe sit down beside him.

"That's natural!"

Shen Jiahe then told Pei Qingyan everything Su Jinyue had said to her.

Pei Qingyan looked a little troubled after hearing this.

"This is indeed a good opportunity..."

"But the resettlement of the Mobei Army is no small matter. I heard from my father that the court has discussed this matter, but both the Ministry of Revenue and other officials have simply shirked responsibility, saying they can't find the money."

"Instead, many officials reported many other problems and turned around to ask the court for money."

"This matter... is really difficult to handle!"

Shen Jiahe responded with a smile.

"If this matter were easy to handle, why would it be our turn?"

"And this matter is actually not difficult for my husband...Have you forgotten that there is a Jiang family?"

Pei Qingyan frowned slightly when he heard this.

"The Jiang family?"

Shen Jiahe nodded.

"Although you and Miss Jiang have divorced, it was, after all, a private affair between two children. Let it go. Fortunately, there was no major enmity between the two families at the time."

"Looking at the Jiang family now, they have no intention of leaving Shangjing. If they want to gain a foothold in Shangjing, they will need someone to support them."

"Let's have an open and honest discussion with the Jiang family and offer them benefits. Perhaps this matter will turn around."

"If they are willing to pay... I can also ask the Queen Mother and His Majesty to give the Jiang family some rewards. A reward from the Emperor himself would be a great honor for the Jiang family. They might agree!"

Pei Qingyan's eyes lit up when he heard Shen Jiahe's words.

Just thinking about the last time he and Jiang Wanqiao had a fight in the teahouse, his brows furrowed tightly again.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have been so impulsive that day.

But things have already happened. If he goes to the Jiang family to ask for help now, he will lose all his face.

Thinking of how he had tried to please Jiang Wanqiao in Jiangnan, Pei Qingyan felt a surge of irritation.

Now he is the Minister of War, how can he bow down to a mere merchant family again!

"That's true, but Jiang Wanqiao and I have a past like that. If the Marquis' Mansion gets involved with the Jiang family again, wouldn't that be unfair to you and would also cause unnecessary gossip."

"I'd better look around a bit more. Shangjing is so big, and the Jiang family might not be the only one who can come up with this much money. There might be a better option..."

Shen Jiahe disagreed.

It is indeed not just the Jiang family that can afford this amount of money to go to Beijing.

Anyone who could have built up this family business and established a firm foothold in the capital city is definitely not an ordinary person. How could he be willing to pay such a huge price for a "personal reward from the emperor" which is neither trivial nor insignificant?

Only the Jiang family today needs this small honor!

Moreover, even the Jiang family is not stupid and may not agree so readily.

However, the Jiang family is just a group of ants and has no background in Shangjing... If they are unwilling, they can just use some tricks.

after all……

No one will stand up for them.

However, she still had to maintain her gentle and harmless image in front of Pei Qingyan, so she couldn't say anything like that for now.

She had to let Pei Qingyan go and find out the Jiang family's background first. If Pei Qingyan really hit a wall, she would then hint at it and instigate him to threaten the Jiang family.

"My husband, don't worry about me. My husband and I love each other, so why would we be wronged by such a trivial matter?"

"If my husband can handle this successfully, then everyone in the court, the Mobei Army, and even the common people will praise him. Then, the events of our wedding day...will be truly covered up."

Shen Jiahe said as he took Pei Qingyan's hand and placed it on his abdomen.

"I know my husband doesn't want to be involved with Jiang Wanqiao anymore. How about you consider it as a grievance for the sake of our unborn child and talk to the Jiang family?"

When Pei Qingyan heard Shen Jiahe say this and felt the warmth of his hands, his heart was burning.

He really owed Jiahe for what happened on their wedding day.

Jiahe has endured so much for him.

As a grown man, what's wrong with him temporarily putting up with the grievance and lowering himself to talk to the Jiang family?

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"After reporting to the Ministry of War tomorrow, I'll find time to talk to the Jiang family."
