Chapter 3, Let's talk after we fight
That wretched girl doesn't even know what she's going mad about, I truly wish I could do away with her! ... The Emperor has just granted her a marriage, and she creates such a commotion, I wonder if she will become an enemy to them after marrying the Southern Ying King in the future
Pei Qianqian not only acted swiftly but also with great ferocity, leaving Ye Minru's face ashen, as if she had seen a ghost, "You... you... you..."
"Pei Qianqian, what exactly do you intend to do?" Ye Minru, adorned in luxurious elegance, entered the room with an air of dignity, her waist held straight and her chin slightly raised, accompanied by two maids, her expression filled with anger.
"Is there something you need from me, Auntie?" she asked with a smile, seemingly puzzled.
Pei Wen'an angrily said, "Should we just let her be outside? What kind of propriety is it for an unmarried woman to show her face in public?"
He truly could not understand, having personally gone to see her and confirmed that this daughter had already passed away, yet unexpectedly she came back to life... Having lived for several decades and heard many strange tales, when faced with such an eerie occurrence, even though he prided himself on being well-informed and experienced, he could not hide his astonishment
Pei Qianqian sipped water, lazily observing the woman of considerable status in the Pei residence. She possessed the memories of her original self and understood that the woman before her was remarkable. This woman not only came from a powerful family, but she was also shrewd and calculating. Furthermore, she had a son and a daughter by her side in the Pei family, making it fair to say that this woman was so fortunate that contemporary women envied and resented her.
Pei Qianqian approached her with a stern expression, her eyes red with anger, holding a heavy solid wood stool in her hand
The heavy stool was mercilessly swung towards Ye Minru
Aunt, if you have something to say, please do so; if not, please take your leave. This filthy place is unworthy of your presence, and I cannot bear the responsibility.
She is a highly talented individual of the 21st century, skilled in both literature and martial arts, yet surprisingly finds herself with no means of livelihood in this place
Just as she was about to leave the room, she suddenly froze in place
Pei Qianqian's sudden change in temperament made Ye Minru feel somewhat uneasy, but thinking of her own daughter Rongxin, she was filled with disdain for Pei Qianqian's future
A maid behind Ye Minru pointed at her and scolded, "How dare you be so disrespectful to the madam?"
Her marriage to Sikong Mingye is quite rushed, as the grand wedding is scheduled for next month, which means she still has to foolishly wait here for another month
Pei Wen'an sat in the grand master's chair, his face filled with anger after a night of poor sleep. "I thought she would be easy to manage, but I never expected her to be so unruly! I will bring her back right now and see what she intends to do!"
Ye Minru angrily said, "Impudent! Pei Qianqian, I have come personally today to take you back to the Pei family, but do not think that just because the Emperor has granted you to the Southern Ying King as a consort, you can act with such arrogance in front of me!"
Hmph
"Yes, madam." Two maids behind her immediately responded, approaching Pei Qianqian with stern expressions.
She did not expect that Ye Minru, as Madam Pei, would actually appear here. Seeing the dissatisfaction revealed in her brows, she could not be bothered to look and turned around to return to the room, sitting down at the table and leisurely drinking a glass of water by herself
However, Pei Qianqian still did not rise, instead turning her gaze to the maid and mocking, "And you? You are merely a servant, yet you also steal the spotlight from your master?"
The lady of the Pei family is present; how could a mere illegitimate daughter have a place to sit here
She is not worried about being unable to leave a month later; Sikong Mingye has no romantic feelings for her, he merely desires her first night. What she is concerned about is how to get through this month
She finally understands her transformation, from a humble and timid girl to someone so arrogant and indifferent, daring to speak to her in such a manner, isn't it just because she is about to become the Princess of Nanying?
"You... you... what do you want to do?" Looking at the fierce expression in her eyes, Ye Minru instinctively took a step back. Caught off guard, she found it difficult to calm her shocked emotions, her face alternating between pale and flushed, and her speech trembled with unease
Seeing them start to fight without hesitation, Pei Qianqian was certainly not foolish enough to let them hit her. With a swift motion, she jumped up and swung the stool she had just been sitting on towards one of the maids.
So what if she acts arrogantly, relying on her future status as the princess of the Southern Kingdom? Can't she indulge herself just this once?
Ye Minru's smile faded, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes
Accompanied by her low growl, her aggressive attack was swift and fierce
Clap clap!
Pei Qianqian returned to the inn after wandering the streets for half a day, lazily lying on the bed, contemplating her future plans
A man is standing with his arms crossed on the side of the door, not just any idle person, but the ice-faced guard who intercepted her at the city gate last night
Pei Wen'an finally relaxed his furrowed brow and nodded, saying, "That is acceptable, then you shall go." After a pause, he angrily struck the armrest, "This beast truly knows nothing of propriety! When she returns, I will personally teach her a lesson!"
"Stinky woman, I do not provoke you, yet you dare to come to me seeking death. Do you truly believe I am a soft persimmon that you can squeeze at will?"
Pei Qianqian! Ye Minru's gaze was fierce, truly angered by her attitude and words. She did not expect that the imperial decree had just been issued and this little beast's temperament had changed so drastically.
The maid's face turned blue from being choked, "You!"
In ancient times, women married and gave birth at an early age. Although Ye Minru's children are older than she is, she is still not yet forty. Coupled with her luxurious attire and appropriate maintenance, she appears to be in her early thirties, and is both stunning and enchanting
Seeing that he was truly about to issue an order to capture Pei Qianqian, Ye Minru suddenly intervened, saying, "Master, please calm your anger. It is not difficult to bring her back; there is no need to make a big fuss over it"
Pei Qianqian then threw the stool aside, brushed her loose hair away from her forehead, and cast a cold glance around, "Hmph!"
Pei Qianqian ignored it, poured herself another glass of water, and continued to drink
Isn't it insane for her to fawn over someone who would love nothing more than to torment her to death
Like a sculpture, Qifeng lifted his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "Miss Pei, your actions are rather impulsive. Are you aware that this will bring great misfortune upon yourself?"
Ah! That maid never imagined that Pei Qianqian would take the initiative to harm someone, completely unprepared, and with a thud, she fell to the ground
Regardless of how wealthy and noble Pei Qianqian may become in the future, it cannot compare to her Xin'er. It is important to note that Xin'er is married to none other than the Emperor's most favored son, Prince Ruiqing. What is the Southern Win King? He is neither the Crown Prince nor in good health, and his marriage to Pei Qianqian clearly shows that the Emperor does not care about him at all
One has truly become so full of oneself that one forgets their own surname
Pei Qianqian frowned with a smile. What does it mean that she is arrogant? She is no longer the Pei Qianqian of the past; could she lower herself to grovel like a dog? Moreover, this woman had always treated her original self with harshness and abuse. The place she lived in at the Pei residence was even worse than a woodshed, and the leftover food she was given was something even dogs would disdain. Wasn't all of this the doing of this Madam Pei?
Ye Minru said, "My lord, she is now the consort of the unwed King of Nanying. You are aware of her significance to the King of Nanying. If we openly punish her, the King will surely harbor discontent."
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.
I thought that girl had died for good, but unexpectedly she came back to life. Not only did it frighten them, but she also inexplicably ran out, leaving them wondering what kind of trouble she would cause next
Witnessing Pei Qianqian come back to life, the entire Pei family was restless throughout the night. Unable to determine whether the Pei Qianqian who had rushed out of the Pei residence was human or ghost, Pei Wen'an could only suppress his shock and instructed someone to secretly follow Pei Qianqian to observe her actions.
Last night's incident was shocking and perplexing, but it is certainly not a good thing. Pei Wen'an has instructed the people in the residence to refrain from discussing the matter of Pei Qianqian's suicide.
Pei Qianqian showed no intention of getting up and continued to smile while speaking to her, "Aunt, I haven't provoked you, so why are you getting angry?"
In this era, it is difficult for women to find employment; they are even deemed unqualified for serving dishes or washing plates. It is not that they lack ability, but rather that their slender frames appear exceedingly frail. Today, she went to a restaurant to inquire about a position, and the moment they glanced at her, they expressed unmistakable disdain.
"My lord, what do you think she intends to do? Not only did she leave the Pei family to seek out King Nanying, but she also stayed overnight at an inn. If this gets out, outsiders will surely have much to say about it." Madam Pei, Ye Minru, was quite displeased with Pei Qianqian's actions
The Prime Minister's residence
Pei Wen'an looked at her with a puzzled expression, "What does the lady mean?"
She felt as if her mind was congested, filled with excitement and indignation
What should I do? Pei Qianqian chewed with a cold smile, her slender, oval face no longer filled with innocence and harmlessness, but rather marked by gloom. Remembering the unbearable experiences this body had once endured, she found it hard to remain calm as she took action. This extraordinarily noble woman possessed a heart as venomous as a scorpion; if not today, then when?
"Come here, slap me hard!" Ye Minru shouted sharply, her demeanor cold and imposing, exuding an air of nobility that brooked no dissent.
After screaming a few times, Ye Minru fainted from the intense pain, rolling her eyes back. Lying curled up on the ground, she lost consciousness without understanding why the person who had never dared to speak in front of them for over ten years had undergone such a drastic change in temperament and displayed such immense strength
As the door opened, the expression of the person outside turned grim, and her face instantly grew cold, even glaring with disdain at the uninvited woman, "What brings you here, madam?"
"Pei Qianqian, what is your attitude?" Ye Minru glared at her, her expression filled with anger.
Ye Minru instinctively wanted to dodge, but her shoulder still received a heavy blow. Such a noble body could hardly endure even a slight pain, and she immediately fell sideways to the ground
Pei Qianqian stepped forward, raised her foot, and kicked fiercely at her abdomen, whether it was for venting her emotions or avenging the original body, this was probably the most satisfying time she had ever hit someone, having practiced martial arts and fighting since childhood.
She couldn't help but frown, "What are you here for?"
Regardless of how others perceive her, she will never yield to these hypocritical and disgusting individuals! Today, she will not hold back; does she want to live a life worse than that of pigs and dogs, subjected to abuse and bullying like her original self? If she does not resist, what difference is there between her and a living corpse?
The blood-drinking monster, Sikong Mingye, is truly too petty; not only did it secretly monitor her, but now it even openly sends people to keep an eye on her
Ye Minru fainted, and the two maidservants also collapsed to the ground, one clutching her head and the other covering her face, moaning in pain
Pei Qianqian swung the stool she had picked up without hesitation, immediately striking the approaching maid on the right. The solid wooden leg of the stool hit the maid's face, causing her to cover her face in an instant, and with her cry of pain, her mouth was filled with blood
Continuing like this is truly not a solution, but how can she establish herself in this unfamiliar world
Do not say that she would not believe it even in her dreams; even if she were to witness this scene with her own eyes, she would still not believe it. The timid and humble maid who had been in the Pei residence for over ten years actually harmed someone, and in such a violent and bloody manner...
It is said that she entered the Nanying Wangfu for the second time, and then went to an inn. After dawn, she was still wandering the streets, which is when Pei Wen'an confirmed that she was not truly dead
Get lost
Regardless of what Pei Qianqian intends to do, they need not worry. Sparing her life is merely out of pity; if she does not behave herself, eliminating her would be exceedingly easy
Ye Minru stood up and walked in front of him, smiling gently, "My lord, what I mean is to let me meet her and bring her back. This way, it will also provide some explanation to King Nanying, showing that we value her."
Pei Qianqian reluctantly got up to open the door, "Who is it?"
Ah
