The next moment, several people who rushed into the house ran out.
"Master Marquis, the prince is not inside."
The expression on Mr. Hou's face suddenly froze, and he asked: "Song Shuwan? Where is Pei Huan? Where did you hide him?"
Song Shuwan said calmly: "The prince is such an adult, how can the daughter-in-law hide him? What's more, the daughter-in-law just said that the prince is not here, but you don't believe it."
The Marquis glanced at the dozen or so people behind him with his peripheral vision, and his face suddenly sank: "Song Shuwan, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you today, so let Pei Huan come out immediately!"
He gave orders, and the people behind him responded, urging Pei Huan to come out immediately.
Song Shuwan's eyebrows were filled with coldness: "If you are not here, you are not here. There is no need for me to waste my time with you for something that can be broken with just one poke."
Speaking of this, she pointed the finger at the Marquis: "The Marquis is also an elder. Everyone knows that men and women cannot be intimate with each other. But you brought so many men to your daughter-in-law's yard, and you took advantage of the prince's absence. If this matter spreads,
, how can the daughter-in-law gain a foothold in the capital? Where is the reputation of the Hou Mansion? Or is the Hou Mansion just such a place that does not know the rules and does not respect etiquette? "
"If this is really the case, my daughter-in-law will have to go to the Yamen to play drums and ask Da Zhou to divorce her husband for her!"
With the word of breakup, all the shouting around him disappeared. When the Marquis came to his senses, his expression suddenly changed.
"Song Shuwan, don't talk nonsense. Our Marquis Mansion... No, Zhou never divorces his husband. If you dare to ruin the reputation of my Marquis Mansion like this, I will make you suffer!"
"Oh? How are you going to make this prince's woman unable to eat and carry you around?"
The sudden inquiry caused silence in the courtyard again.
Song Shuwan looked at Pei Huan who was pushed in by An Yi, and then at Baicao who was following behind. Her face suddenly sank. She even asked Baicao to stop him, so why did she still enter the house?
The Marquis turned around. After what had just happened, his aura had returned to its original state. He avoided Pei Huan's inquiry and said coldly: "I am here to settle accounts with you today, not to talk nonsense with you."
Pei Huan tugged at the corner of his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "What a coincidence, I'm not here to talk nonsense, just to settle accounts, right? An Yi, take the previous account book and read it to the elders of the Pei family.
.”
Clan elders, it turns out that the group of people who came with the Marquis are the Pei family elders.
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes slightly and looked at An Yi reading the account book. Unexpectedly, before he read a few words, the Marquis suddenly raised his hand to signal An Yi to stop talking.
The Marquis spoke with a bit of arrogance in his eyes: "Your account book is fake."
"Really, then can you tell me what the real account book looks like?" Pei Huan seemed to have no temper, and there was no emotion in his words.
The Marquis did not speak, but gave a clan elder a look.
The clan elder nodded, took out a ledger from his arms, and walked out quickly.
"At the beginning of the year, Qingfengyuan took 3,000 taels of silver from the Hou Mansion to buy medicine for treating illnesses. At the end of the month, Jinrong Rice Shop had difficulty settling accounts due to poor management, so the Hou Mansion took out 1,000 taels of silver to fill the gap..."
Following the clan elder's words, the problems in An Yi's account book were filled in one by one. In the end, it turned out that the shop under Jin Rong's name owed the Hou Mansion 5,000 taels of silver.
When the result came out, the Marquis raised his chin slightly: "Pei Huan, you are young and have been seriously injured recently. You are blind and have a disabled leg. I can understand that you were deceived by the people under your command, but it is you who have to settle the account. I
As a father, Hou naturally wants to accompany you. Now that the results are out, what else do you have to say?"
Huh, so what if you are the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty outside? Qianglong is still afraid of local snakes, not to mention you are blind and disabled now, why are you thinking about dancing?
Thinking about it, the arrogance in Mr. Hou's eyes became more intense.
Pei Huan sighed, rested his fingertips on the armrest on one side, ignored the Marquis, and asked: "Are you sure that your account book is true?"
The elder of the three tribes is the one who just spoke.
He took a few steps forward and said very proudly: "Of course, the account book in my hand is definitely not false, but given the current situation of the prince, you still have to learn to be soft. The Hou Mansion is your last support."
"Well, the Hou Mansion is the last support."
Song Shuwan could no longer hold back, and after she finished speaking, she stopped in front of Pei Huan: "So what if he is blind and disabled? He is the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a man who has walked through the bloody storms. The emperor is kind and will arrange for his son well.
If you let outsiders know that you are belittling the Great Zhou War God, haha!"
"You are so presumptuous. If a man is talking, do you, a woman, have the right to interrupt?"
Song Shuwan's eyes instantly locked onto the speaker, her eyes turned cold: "Fei Yuan, Zhang Zui!"
Fei Yuan, who had been squatting in the corner, quickly stood up and slapped the speaker several times.
The Marquis was furious: "How outrageous! That's the elder of the Pei family. How can you insult him?"
Song Shuwan glanced at him, with a bit of a sneer in her eyes: "What about the elders of the Pei family? I am the imperial concubine personally appointed by the emperor, and I am also the eldest concubine. If he commits the following crimes, why shouldn't I teach him a lesson? If the Marquis has
I don't think so, why don't we go find the emperor and let him comment on it?"
As soon as these words came out, the Marquis immediately lost his voice and went to look for the emperor. The clan elder who was beaten was killed.
In the silence, Pei Huan spoke and brought the topic back to settling accounts.
"There's no need to get angry with these people. It's not worth it. If they shout about the authenticity of the account books, then just report it to the officials directly. We can go into the Yamen and discuss the authenticity?"
As soon as these words came out, several clan elders on the side all refused in unison.
They seemed to have forgotten about Song Shuwan and the clan elder who had been slapped, and pointed their finger directly at Pei Huan.
The elder of the three tribes said with a cold face: "What's the point of letting outsiders see the Pei family's affairs?"
Another clan elder began: "That's right, our government can handle it on our own."
There was a coldness in the corner of Pei Huan's mouth: "But I don't want to solve it myself, An Yi."
An nodded, turned around and left.
When the Marquis saw this, he immediately called the servants of the Hou Mansion to stop him: "Pei Huan, you are shameless, and I am even more shameless. No one can leave the Hou Mansion until the account is settled today."
There is no three hundred taels of silver here!
Song Shuwan sneered and said: "What is true cannot be faked, and what is false cannot be true. If there is really no problem with the account book, it will only make it clearer after entering the yamen. What do the Marquis and the clan elders have to fear? An Yi, even if you do
Go forward and see who can stop you in front of me today!"
An Yi responded: "Yes!"
"stop!"
"Let's see who dares to move!"
As the Marquis roared, Pei Huan's calm voice also fell.
In an instant, another group of people appeared in Qingfeng Courtyard and blocked the servants of the Hou Mansion.
Mr. Hou unconsciously covered his heart. He had discovered that Pei Huan had changed since Song Shuwan married into the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion had never stopped.
