Choice Husband 择君记 Episode 15

On the day of the wedding, Pei Yanzhen unconsciously thought of Shen Miao, and numbly worshiped like a marionette, but when the husband and wife prayed to each other, Pei Yanzhen turned a deaf ear to it. After all he did not pay respects to Qin Miaozhen and his wife, the reason was that there was someone in his heart, although everything was not satisfactory, but he was always concerned about this person, after speaking, Pei Yanzhen looked towards Shen Miao. Shen Miao naturally knew that the person he was talking about was herself, she did not expect that Pei Yanzhen would publicly resist the order and refuse the marriage. Qin Miaozhen is not a persimmon that is easy to pinch, so the palace official Du Xi ordered Pei Yanzhen to be escorted to prison. Afterwards Shen Miao insisted on saving Pei Yanzhen, Song Xiyuan and Shen Qian's persuasion was useless.

As soon as Shen Miao went out, she met Zhan Yue and Jiu Gongzhu, and learned that Pei Yanzhen had left something for her, but she needed to wait until all the dust settled before telling her. Zhan Yue couldn't resist Shen Miao, so he had to take her to Pei Yanzhen's study room, which was full of portraits that Pei Yanzhen had painted for her. It turned out that for these three years, on the surface Pei Yanzhen ignored Shen Miao's mother and son, but secretly let Zhan Yue protect them in Lingzhou City. As long as he had time, Pei Yanzhen would avoid the Qin family's eyeliner and watch Shen Miao's frowns and smiles from afar. The empress dowager decided to kill Pei Yanzhen tomorrow, but the emperor disagreed, but he could not shake the empress dowager's position in the court at all.

Pei Yanzhen was already in jail, and Song Xiyuan went to see him. Pei Yanzhen hoped that he could go undercover to the Qin family to expose the Qin family's plots and plans. Song Xiyuan did not express his opinion at the time. Shen Miao took a bag of gold, intending to bribe the jailer in exchange for going in to have a look at Pei Yanzhen. The jailer refused to agree, and later Shen Miao asked the reason, and only then did she know that it was Song Xiyuan who did it. Regardless of Song Xiyuan's obstruction, she resolutely went in to see Pei Yanzhen. Pei Yanzhen's body was covered with scars, it was obvious that he had been tortured and beaten, Shen Miao was very distressed. At this time Pei Yanzhen had already made up his mind to die, and Shen Miao absolutely could not watch Pei Yanzhen die unjustly like this.

Luying was stopped by the jailer outside the prison, and the other party spoke rudely to Luying, so Zhao Butou came forward to help Luying. When Shen Miao came out of the prison, she looked very lost. After seeing the green warbler, she hugged the green warbler and cried bitterly. Qin Miaozhen quickly went to win over Song Xiyuan, and conveyed the Queen Mother's words, saying that as long as Pei Yanzhen died, the Queen Mother would insist that Song Xiyuan enter the household department, otherwise it would be a pity that the Song family would only be an imperial merchant. Not long after Shen Miao returned to Shen Garden, Pei Yanzhen's mother came to her and asked her if she would like to redeem Pei Yanzhen. The next day, at the execution ground, Pei Yanzhen was about to be executed, and he himself was ready to die.

Shen Miao arrived in time and rescued Pei Yanzhen from the knife. She took out the death-preventing jade token given to Pei Yanzhen by the Taizu. When it was over, Zhan Yue brought the Ninth Princess to stop Qin Miaozhen's arrogance. The Empress Dowager and Qin Zuze soon found out about this matter in the capital. Qin Zuze told him after investigating clearly that the jade plaque was indeed given by the Taizu himself, because the Pei family had made great contributions in saving the family back then, but the Pei family lived in seclusion in Lingzhou these years and gradually showed weakness, so was forgotten by the world. But this time they thought that Pei Yanzhen was already injured and would not return to the capital to cause trouble for the time being.

So even though Pei Yanzhen had been spared the death penalty, he was stripped of his official position and demoted to the people. Shen Xiao thought it was Song Xiyuan who caused Pei Yanzhen to become like this, he hated the evil, and his attitude towards Song Xiyuan was not as good as before.
