Chapter 280 - 280 Hug
280 Hug
“You can’t ruin your sixth sister’s reputation. Everyone in Marquis Pingning’s Estate, including Madam, has praised her! She has always been gentle. How could she do such a vicious thing?”
As soon as Song Minghui said this, Madam Yu, who had been standing beside Marquis Beining, wiped her tears and stood up weakly to help Song Mingmin. Because she had taken good care of herself, even though she was almost 40 years old, Madam Yu, who looked like she was in her twenties, looked very delicate when she cried and immediately won Marquis Beining’s sympathy.
“Rascal, you actually dare to criticize my judgment? How dare you? I don’t care. Get lost and go save her now. No matter what method you use, if you don’t save your sixth sister, get lost from Marquis Beining’s ministry!
“Also, if I hear you slander your sixth sister again, I’ll punish you and beat you to death!”
After shouting at Song Minghui, Marquis Beining didn’t forget to turn around and scold his wife, who had been cowering at the side. “Look at your unfilial son. Hmph!”
“Hui’er, what’s going on?”
After everyone from Marquis Beining’s ministry followed Marquis Beining and Madam Yu back to Marquis Beining’s ministry, Marquis Beining’s wife, who was left behind, approached Song Minghui anxiously and asked him, “Your father was really angry this time!
Hurry up and save her! Your fifth sister has really been spoiled too much by me. I knew that she would cause trouble sooner or later!
“As for your wife, I originally thought that she was well-behaved, but who would have thought…”
Before Madam Beining could finish speaking, she was frightened by Song Minghui’s gaze and shut her mouth. Her eyes turned red as tears fell. “I know you won’t listen to anything I say now, but I’m doing this for your own good! It’s not like you don’t know that your father has always wanted to pull you down from your position as the heir!
What can we do? We can only endure it now…”
“If I have to hide like a turtle in order to get the position of the heir, I’d rather not!” Song Minghui interrupted her sobs coldly. When he thought of what his wife had said to him just now, he turned to Marquis Beining impatiently. “Mother, do you know that Ningqian and the child were almost killed today? Last time, Fifth Sister was pushed into the water by them, but despite there being evidence, what was the outcome?
You were the one who personally executed the witness to exonerate that vicious girl!
“You’re our mother! When you made these decisions, have you ever thought about how we would feel?”
He didn’t say anything else. After saying this, he turned around and strode away.
When Song Minghui rushed to Lu Ze and the others, Lin Suisui had just finished helping Zhou Ningqian treat her arm. As soon as she came out, she saw Bai Guo coming over.
When she reached the front yard, Song Minghui was talking to Lu Ze and the others. Seeing her enter, they stopped talking and looked at her.
“She’s fine. I’ve already treated the wound on her arm. Try not to use this arm for the next six months in order to recuperate.”
Lin Suisui instructed Song Minghui.
After hearing her words, Song Minghui bowed to her respectfully. “Thank you for saving me, Madam. If not for your help today, my wife and children would have…
“In short, I can’t repay your kindness, but if you have any orders, feel free to ask. As long as it’s within my means, I’ll definitely do my best!”
“You’re welcome, Mr. Song, but it’s no big deal! If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Enjoy your discussion.” Lin Suisui came over to tell Song Minghui about Zhou Ningqian’s situation. Since she had already said it, she had no intention of staying.
However, Pei Qian clearly didn’t intend to let her leave just like that. Instead, he stopped her. “Madam Liu, wait a moment. There’s something I think you should sit down and listen to together.”
Lin Suisui hesitated for a moment and looked at Lu Ze. Seeing that he didn’t stop it, she slowly walked over and sat down beside Lu Ze while waiting for Pei Qian to continue.
“This is the contents of that northern barbarian spy’s confession. There’s also this booklet I received from him. It records some of their experience of using hemp leaves.
Unfortunately, this booklet is recorded in the northern barbarian language, so I’m looking for someone who knows the northern barbarian language to decipher it. Madam Liu, you will probably have to wait a few more days.”
As Pei Qian spoke, he had already asked Qian He to bring a wooden box over and place it in front of Lin Suisui. He explained to her, “But the contents of his confession are all on it. Take a look and see if it’s helpful for helping those soldiers overcome their addiction.”
“There’s no need to look for a translator. I’ll crack it.” Before Pei Qian could finish speaking, Lu Ze had already opened the wooden box and taken out the sheepskin book inside. After opening it and flipping through a few pages, he gave Pei Qian an affirmative answer.
“You can understand it?” Pei Qian was a little surprised.
After all, there were indeed many people in the empire who spoke the northern barbarian language, but not many people could understand the northern barbarian written language!
“Yes.” Lu Ze nodded as he replied to Pei Qian with certainty, “So, is there anything else?”
“Yes.” Pei Qian didn’t let Lin Suisui leave so easily. Instead, he asked Qian He to send over a larger box.
This box was squarish, but for some reason, Lin Suisui felt that something was wrong when she saw it. As expected, before she could ask, Qian He opened the lid. She felt her vision blur and Lu Ze hugged her.
“Pei Qian!” Lu Ze gritted his teeth and glared at Pei Qian, who was sitting opposite him. How could he casually show a woman a human head?
“Mr. Pei, you’re really going overboard.” Even though he had a bad experience with Lin Suisui previously, Zhou Hengchang still felt that opening the box in front of a woman was a little too much…
Those who didn’t know would think that they were causing trouble!
“That’s right. My brother-in-law didn’t kick you out because he’s well-mannered!” Wei Qing nodded repeatedly. He was calling Lu Ze brother-in-law more and more smoothly now.
“Look carefully. This is not an ordinary head!” Pei Qian looked at Lu Ze, who was protecting Lin Suisui tightly in his arms, and couldn’t help but frown slightly. “Besides, do you really think Madam Liu will be frightened by a head?!”
