Li Rong met Shangguan Ya in the private room, while Pei Wenxuan bandaged Li Rong's wounds. However, when Shangguan Ya suggested that Li Rong consider Su Rongqing, the atmosphere instantly became subtle. Pei Wenxuan was jealous and tried his best to refute Shangguan Ya, but he was also angry because of Li Rong's ambiguous attitude.
After Shangguan Ya left, Li Rong noticed that Pei Wenxuan's mood was abnormal and felt a little confused. Pei Wenxuan admitted that the reasons for their marriage were complicated, but he did not want any development between Li Rong and Su Rongqing, and believed that she should live as she pleased. In order to anger Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong deliberately said that the relationship between herself and Su Rongqing could be cultivated, leaving Pei Wenxuan speechless.
That night, the two discussed the contents of the dossier. Although Li Rong did not directly express concern for Pei Wenxuan on the surface, she intended to reduce the work pressure for him. At present, all testimonies need to be transcribed, but the confessions and evidence are kept elsewhere. The only breakthrough is the supervisory censor "Wen Ping" from the censor station. This person previously received a letter reporting that the Qin family was ordered by Yang Ye to pretend to be defeated. .
When Wen Ping saw the letter, he knew that the matter was of great importance. He immediately transferred the official records of the relevant battles from the Ministry of War and found that there were indeed suspicious things in them. Luo Juan was beaten by the Ministry of Justice and accused the Qin family of collaborating with the enemy and treason. All this seemed to be to cover up the truth. Li Rong thought that it was extremely ridiculous for them to spend so much money and just want to buy the whole Qin family with one thousand taels of gold.
Therefore, the first task is to find the writer and the veterans who participated in the war. Secondly, it is necessary to verify the authenticity of Yang Ye's letter. Finally, the source of the one thousand taels of gold must be thoroughly investigated. Li Rong arranged for Xun Chuan to visit Luo Juan tomorrow to get more clues. At the same time, Pei Wenxuan solemnly reminded Li Rong to avoid contact with Su Rongqing for the time being to avoid unnecessary entanglements.
Later, Pei Wenxuan visited Wen Ping in person, but unexpectedly the other party made a move, and he had to stay up all night to deal with the issue. When colleagues saw Pei Wenxuan working so hard, they felt deeply guilty and decided to stay and work overtime with him. Pei Wenxuan frankly stated that his greatest wish is to give everyone a fair opportunity.
Su Rongqing often thought of Li Rong, and his brother Su Ronghua noticed this and encouraged him to speak out bravely. When Pei Wenxuan returned home that night, he saw Li Rong sleeping peacefully on the couch in his room. A warm current surged in his heart. He suddenly realized that the feeling of home he had been pursuing for the past two lives was like this. After returning home tired, there would be someone waiting for him. . Li Rong woke up in a daze and reminded Pei Wenxuan not to be angry with Su Rongqing, but Pei Wenxuan knew very well that he cared about Li Rong and felt that his advantage over Su Rongqing was gradually lost.
The next day, Su Ronghua and Shangguanya agreed to compete. Li Rong wanted to see Su Rongqing, so she took Pei Wenxuan to bet with Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua was willing to admit defeat and agreed to arrange a meeting between Li Rong and Su Rongqing at Mingyue Tower. Li Rong expressed appreciation for Pei Wenxuan's help, but Pei Wenxuan didn't want her to go to the appointment.
At this time, Tong Ye urgently reported to Pei Wenxuan that his wife was seriously ill, but in fact it was the Pei family who deliberately made things difficult. Pei Wenxuan urgently ordered Tong Ye to notify Li Rong and ask her to take people to Pei's house. Li Rong was about to go out to see Su Rongqing, and Shangguan Ya reminded her that she needed to remain weak to please her. On the other side, Su Ronghua accompanied Su Rongqing to buy a gift for Li Rong. Su Rongqing felt something was wrong and finally chose peonies.
On the other side, Pei Wenxuan returned to Pei's house and saw his uncles gathered in the hall, while his mother looked embarrassed. The uncles all accused Pei Wenxuan of encouraging Li Rong to set up an inspection department. Pei Wenxuan did not flinch and responded directly that if they had any dissatisfaction, they should express it directly to the princess. Under pressure from the family, Pei's mother had to stand up and persuade Pei Wenxuan to go home and persuade the princess not to interfere too much in the matter.
Because of Pei Wenxuan's persistence, the family enforced family laws against him under an unwarranted name. Li Rong, who originally planned to meet Su Rongqing, learned about Pei Wenxuan's experience and immediately led people into Pei's house and gave Uncle Pei a slap in the face in public. He said domineeringly that the Pei family's current status was all due to Pei Wenxuan's father. , but as his consort, Pei Wenxuan would never allow anyone to be disrespectful to him.
The people present were so intimidated by the princess's aura that they did not dare to reply. Li Rong sternly warned Pei's mother that if she could not protect her children and bear the responsibility of a mother, she should not cause trouble to Pei Wenxuan in the future. After speaking, Li Rong personally supported Pei Wenxuan and walked out. At the same time, he ordered Xun Chuan to cut off the hand of the servant who beat Pei Wenxuan with a stick.
