Chapter 1111: Chapter 252: I Want to Resign from My Official Position_5

The maid heard the order and went out to notify Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin.

Soon after, Pei Wendong, Chang Yonglin, Fang Liuming, Fang Fu, Xie Yi, Xie Ze, and others came over.

Madam Zhao also brought along Jiujiu, Xixi, and Happy.

"Mother! Mother!" Jiujiu and Xixi immediately rushed towards Pei Qin when they saw her.

"Ouch! Our precious daughters!" Pei Qin embraced them, one on each side.

"Mother, why have you only returned now! We saw you enter the city this morning and have been waiting at home all this time, wondering why you haven’t come!" Jiujiu held onto her neck, discontentedly complaining.

Pei Qin kissed her, "Mother went to resign from her official post and returned late!"

"I want a kiss too!" Xixi also immediately sought affection.

Pei Qin kissed her twice.

"Resign! Has Sister resigned from her post?" Fang Liuming asked.

Pei Qin deflated, "No."

Fang Liuming frowned. Sister had been suffering from internal cold poison that had never healed, and now that the Wa Ci had retreated and the Rong Clan had been dealt with, it was time for her to properly recuperate. The current emperor was aware of Sister’s condition and knew that she was a woman, yet he still did not allow her to resign from her post!?

"Not resigned, do they still want her to fight for their empire!?" Pei Qian said with a stern face, insisting that Sister must gamble with her life, right!?

When Pei Yuan heard her speak, she immediately glared at her, "You are already a mother, and yet you speak without thinking!"

Pei Qian glanced at Xie Yi and Xie Ze, snorting disdainfully.

Xie Ze sat indignant yet dared not speak, his face looking very unpleasant.

Xie Yi bit her lip, sitting quietly to the side.

Pei Qian, seeing her like that, felt disdain in her heart. Shamelessly staying at Sister’s place, she even thought of seducing Sister’s husband and had brought over her maternal cousin. Fortunately, Sister’s husband did not take interest; otherwise, there really could have been hope, and they would have directly tried to bring down Sister!

Fang Fu changed the subject, talking about Fang Liuming’s reinstatement, "It just got through, not too badly. They gave him a position in charge at the Ministry of Justice, letting Liuming take up that role first, to gain some years’ experience."

Fang Liuming himself was reluctant to be reinstated so early, but Pei Qian had written, seeing that Pei Wenchen had passed the provincial examination, she could not rest, coming directly with Fang Liuming and their daughter. The Pei family had come to Capital Jingcheng; how could she not come!? How could she let them have an easy life!?

"Now that Liuyang has joined the military, and Liuming has been reinstated, I will study for a few months. If I cannot achieve a good result in next year’s metropolitan examination, I will return to manage our family’s mundane affairs and take care of our business," Fang Fu had already decided as their parents were getting older and his eldest brother was of no help. Their family needed someone in office and someone to manage their business for steady growth. Also, joining the ranks would be too conspicuous.

Pei Qin was quite willing for him to manage the business; with everyone rushing for official positions, the house would be empty, and then they would have to reach out for those silvers.

"Then Uncle also has to give his best effort, and our family will produce several Palace Graduates!" Pei Wendong said to him.

Both he and Chang Yonglin had passed the provincial examination with high rankings.

"Alright! Uncle will definitely try his best and not drag you down!" Fang Fu laughed heartily.

Old Master Zhao held his grandson, laughing heartily, "Our big family will all make a name for themselves!"

Not to mention Pei Qin as General Tiance, Mo Heng also held the rank of Second Rank General Zhaoyong. Just to mention those at the bottom, Fang Liuming had resumed his duty at the Ministry of Justice. Zhao Xiao Chen had also risen to the rank of Sixth Rank Colonel, and this time he was sure to be promoted again. Zhao Yong was following Pei Qin and was about to be promoted to Fifth Rank Deputy General. Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin had passed the provincial examination, and Fang Liuyang was also in the military. The whole family was prospering.

Pei Qin had people bring over exotic trinkets from the Northern Part of Rong Clan to distribute to everyone.

Xie Yi and Xie Ze both received turquoise pendants.

"These are just inexpensive trinkets scavenged from the locality; take them to play with! There are also some furs, later see whether to make fur coats or embed them into clothes!" Pei Qin distributed everything.

Pei Yuan said, "Older sister! Save some for Mingzhu too! She is also in Jingcheng, she will definitely come when she hears you are back tomorrow."

Xie Yi’s heart tightened, but her face remained unaffected.

Hearing Dan Mingzhu was also here, Pei Qin picked up a malachite bracelet, "Then, let’s save this for her!"

Huang Qiu put it away.

Just as they mentioned Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

"Sister Peiqin!" Dan Mingzhu was not yet in sight but had already started calling out.

"That temperament, it truly resembles our family!" Pei Qin smiled.

Xie Yi turned pale, clenching her hands inside her sleeves.

Pei Yuan glanced at her, pursing her lips slightly.

Chang Yonglin also glanced at Xie Yi, moving forward to draw the curtain for Dan Mingzhu.

When Dan Mingzhu entered and saw him drawing the curtain, her expression changed, and she huffed lightly, then went over to greet Pei Qin and others.

Chang Yonglin touched his nose.

He had never been so attentive to any girl, and Pei Qin watched, corners of her mouth curving into a smile.

"Sister Peiqin! You are truly amazing! Rong Clan had been occupying Liaodong, and it was besieged for a long time, but you subdued even the entire Rong Clan once you took action!" Dan Mingzhu looked up to her with admiration.

Pei Qin laughed and handed her the gift.

Dan Mingzhu saw it, "Malachite! This is great stuff! Thank you, Sister Peiqin!"

"Let’s have some food!" It was almost time for dinner.

The big family split into two tables, one for males and one for females, and had a lively dinner.

Dan Mingzhu was still reluctant to leave, "I want to stay with Sister Peiqin!"

"Then you better leave quickly!" Pei Yuan teased her.

Seeing Chang Yonglin coming over, Dan Mingzhu did not stay longer, saying she would come again tomorrow, then left with her maid and guard.

"Sister Qin! I have something to tell you!" Chang Yonglin came over.

"Have you taken a fancy to her?" Pei Qin teased, raising her eyebrow.

"Even if I haven’t, I have to now! I saw her, I have to take responsibility!" Chang Yonglin sighed, sitting down beside her.

Pei Qin glared at him, "Saw her!? Did you strip her naked!?"

"It wasn’t me who stripped her; it was out of urgency," Chang Yonglin explained. Xie Yi, fearing Dan Mingzhu might marry Wendong, really went to great lengths!
