Chapter 1101: Chapter 250: I’m Willing to Indulge_4

Shen Songming galloped to the high slope, watching her and Mo Heng lead troops away, his expression blank.

Ji Bingchu looked on bitter-sweetly, all because of her, making him truly want to strangle Pei Qin!

Seeing that both men watched for a long time, Jun Suxue clasped her knees from afar, mounted her carriage, and returned to the city.

A pair of angry eyes also glared at Shen Songming and Ji Bingchu as if staring down an enemy.

Ji Bingchu turned back, and upon seeing it was Dan Mingzhu, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Miss Dan wouldn’t still be holding on, would she?

Dan Mingzhu huffed, then turned and led her followers forward to the Mansion of General Zhaoyong to see the General’s wife.

But the General’s Wife had already claimed illness and was not receiving visitors.

Dan Mingzhu directly requested to see Pei Yuan, bringing food for Jiujiu, Xi and the Little Radishes.

Pei Yuan, having not walked them far, returned quickly after sending her elder sister out of the city amid the crowd to see the three Little Radishes. Hearing Dan Mingzhu had arrived, she let her in.

Upon seeing her, Dan Mingzhu asked, "Pei Hansan is Sister Peiqin, right?" She had guessed last time but wasn’t told. She had seen it earlier—the face blackened with medicinal water, but it was indeed her! This also explained why she felt cold poison when she checked her pulse before. She used the Seven-pulse Lotus for detoxing, with the cold poison resulting from combating poison with poison using the Seven-pulse Lotus.

Pei Yuan just smiled and didn’t deny it further, "When my elder sister..."

Dan Mingzhu pursed her lips as if wanting to cry, "Losing to her doesn’t upset me! But what sort of demon is Ji Bingchu!?"

"Uh..." Pei Yuan blinked, "Then why did you still... come to Capital Jingcheng?"

"I couldn’t get over it!" Dan Mingzhu sniffled. Mrs. Shen had approved of her, yet Shen Songming would still not accept her, even committing such intolerable acts! She sniffled again, "So, I’ve decided! I’m going to find someone in Capital Jingcheng! I’ll make them green with envy!"

"Your family agrees?" Pei Yuan asked her.

Dan Mingzhu blinked, "I sneaked out this time... It’s a pity I was still a step late, not having caught up with Sister Peiqin!"

Pei Yuan sighed, "Then you can stay here for now."

Dan Mingzhu agreed, and instructed her attendants to bring out the food and toys for Jiujiu and the three Little Radishes and asked Pei Yuan, "Where is Xie Yi? Why haven’t I seen her?" She"d stayed in Daxing previously, yet even without living together, she had animosity towards her.

Speaking of Xie Yi, Pei Yuan couldn’t help but frown. Her elder sister hadn’t insisted on sending them away, nor blamed her. Only their youngest sister disagreed; her elder sister and she had not mistreated her, Wendong had never been unfair to her and her brother either. She had long known the Zheng family’s sinister intentions, yet she had not even hinted at it. Now she’s too ashamed to sit and talk at meals, preferring to hide in her room for introspection—well, let her!

"They are staying as guests in the General Mansion and generally do not come to the main hall."

Dan Mingzhu’s eyes flickered, but she didn’t inquire further, pulling Pei Yuan into conversation about Pei Qin leading troops, "I’ve heard a lot outside; come on, tell me! I’ll also tell you how everyone worships General Pei! They even want to build a temple for General Pei!"

"A temple?" This Pei Yuan did not know.

"Yes! In a few days, we’ll go to the temple, and you’ll see how many people are there to pray for General Pei’s blessing!" As Dan Mingzhu spoke, she couldn’t help but express admiration, "If only she were my elder sister!"

Just as Xie Yi was arriving, she heard this and saw Pei Yuan smile, her face paling.

"Ms. Xie?" The maid called her.

Xie Yi took a deep breath and entered.

Pei Yuan saw her, her smile slightly fading, waiting for her to speak.

Xie Yi brought over several scriptures, curtsied, "I’ve copied some scriptures and want to donate them to the temple to pray for blessings for Madam, wishing Madam safety and good health."

"You’re thoughtful. We’re going to the temple in a few days, you should come too!" Pei Yuan said.

Xie Yi agreed, seeing Dan Mingzhu still vividly beautiful, she felt dimmed, not staying long before returning to the yard.

Xie Ze, learning from Xie Yi that she had long known of the Zheng family’s schemes, felt indignant and wanted to confront Wendong, but Xie Yi slapped him twice, deflating him. He spent all day thinking Wendong had wronged his sister, the fault lying with Zheng’s Second Concubine, and that Pei Qin was seriously ill, unsure if she could survive; his cousin just wanted a concubine’s status.

He then thought about his sister being married to Wendong, and his cousin becoming a concubine to Mo Heng being disgraceful. Thinking that in a few more days they would reclaim the Xie family’s assets and then move out to their own home. He also wanted to earn a title to make them all see! Not to be looked down upon, not letting them bully his sibling duo!

Xie Yi saw him neglecting his studies more than before, told Pei Yuan about it, and also took him out, "I’m also praying for a rise for Brother Wendong."

Pei Yuan naturally didn’t stop them; they all went out together.

Because they were accompanying the three Little Radishes, Chang Yonglin and Wendong also came out to escort.

Dan Mingzhu was quite curious about Wendong, that Xie Yi... Looking at her, she wasn’t great in any particular way; how had he fallen for Xie Yi? With Sister Peiqin being such a person, her brother couldn’t be too foolish surely?

Then she unconsciously talked more with Wendong.

Xie Ze watched, annoyed beyond measure.

Xie Yi felt hopelessly hurt; if Dan Mingzhu were to... snatch Wendong away, she would have no way out, could it be... is she really going to end up as a concubine!? No! She would never be lesser! Wendong had promised to marry her! She would definitely not let her steal what was hers!

Dan Mingzhu, sensing her gaze, secretly rolled her eyes, "Praying! Praying! I’m going to seek a marital fortune!"

She drew the top fortune straight away, showing it to Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan, thinking of Shen Songming’s persistence on her elder sister and then seeing her, couldn’t help but smile; Dan Mingzhu wasn’t deeply in love, after all! This was good too, to seek another match! Glancing at Xie Yi, she sighed inwardly. If Wendong were to marry Dan Mingzhu, she would wholeheartedly approve!

Madam Zhao also pulled her aside to whisper quietly.

Pei Yuan shook her head, "Still, let it be up to fate!" again praying sincerely for her elder sister, and her brother-in-law’s safety, lighting a long-burning lamp for Zhao Xiaochen.

Over there, the crowd lighting long-burning lamps for Pei Qin and young girls had all lined up; Pei Qin’s long-burning lamp could last till the next life.

They also prayed to the God of Literature, and Wendong and Yonglin began preparing to take their leave.

Pei Qin and Mo Heng’s army had also arrived in Liaodong, joining forces with An Liefeng and Dou He.

"Han San! Han San!" Dou He shouted excitedly from afar, riding forward to greet them.
