Chapter 17 You invite yourself to the court

"This..." Pei Haoting wiped the sweat from his forehead and struggled to speak.

"Sir Su Wen'an is very fond of beauties. This little girl of mine is one of the best in appearance. I sent her here specially for you to see."

After saying that, he turned his head and motioned to Pei Qianyue, hoping that she would soften her attitude and salute Mr. An.

Pei Qianyue was drugged. Although she was conscious, she had no strength at all. She was held down by two young men behind her and gave a solid salute.

Mr. An's expression turned cold.

"Marquis Wu'an, please come back. I don't like being forced by others."

[Hey, I don’t know what my cheap father thinks. Although Sister Qianyue is an adopted daughter, she is still in her mother’s name. She dedicated her daughter to make a future for herself, and she is not afraid of others poking her back]

Pei Shao was very disdainful.

Ever since she came here, the things her cheap dad did were pushing the limits of her knowledge.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Pei Shao always felt that the two Master Ans were secretly peeking at her.

Pei Haoting took two steps forward with a flattering smile.

"I don't force myself, I don't force myself. It's my little girl's blessing to be favored by these two adults."

Cheng felt like she was trembling all over.

She had never felt that Pei Haoting was so strange. The young man who was very popular when he asked her parents to marry her, the young man Pei Haoting who vowed to be good to her all his life and be together for the rest of his life, are only living in her memory after all.

She gave up her strength and leaned on the wheelchair, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.

Master An glanced at her lightly, with a hint of distress in his eyes.

"My father wants to sell his daughter for glory——"

Pei Shao opened his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Hey, my lady, please don't make trouble!" Bai Ying pretended to go up and cover her mouth, but actually repeated loudly: "There is no such thing as selling a girl for glory!"

This inn is just one street away from the Zhaixing Tower where the Dongchuang incident happened last time. Pei Shao just shouted and attracted all the people who wanted to watch the fun but didn't dare to come over. A large circle of people gathered in front of the inn.

Pei Shao even saw a few familiar faces.

In a blink of an eye, she even seemed to see the madam from the Star Reaching Tower last time.

Her eyes were darting around, and she was echoing Bai Ying loudly.

"Sister Bai Ying is right! My father is the famous Marquis Wu'an! He just wants to give my sister to the envoy! This is not selling his daughter for glory!"

Pei Haoting's face turned green.

The people around him were chattering and whispering to each other, which was so noisy that his ears almost exploded. But in front of several envoys, he couldn't lose his temper, so he could only endure the strange looks of the people with great frustration.

"Marquis Wu An!? But Marquis Wu An, who wanted his son to take the blame last time in the brothel?"

When they heard Pei Shao blowing up his house, the people who were present at both incidents instantly became excited.

Pei Haoting only felt the people around him pointing at him, making him unable to raise his head.

"Master Pei," the envoy dressed in black spoke, his tone cold and stiff.

"I wonder what Mr. Pei meant by bringing his daughter here?"

"This..." Pei Haoting scratched his head, and the regret in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

If he had known earlier, he would have brought Pei Qianyue here today. When the envoys enter the palace tomorrow, he will bring Pei Qianyue over and put him directly in their room.

Pei Haoting couldn't express regret in his heart.

"My little girl... my little girl Qianyue admires these two adults and wants to see their heroic demeanor."

Pei Haoting hesitated. He himself knew that this reason was untenable, but he couldn't think of any other reason.

He winked at Cheng, hoping that Cheng would cooperate with him.

"Your Majesty the Envoy." Mrs. Cheng took a few steps forward in her wheelchair.

Pei Haoting's eyes were filled with joy.

Mrs. Cheng is Pei Qianyue's mother. If she comes forward to testify, the envoy will have to believe her even if she doesn't believe her.

"My wife wants to expose him, Marquis Wu'an," Mrs. Cheng pointed at Pei Haoting expressionlessly, and the words that came out of her mouth were indeed extremely cold.

"He is obsessed with my three daughters and wants to bring supplies to several adults so that he can have a stable career and prosperity."

"Cheng Anbai!" Pei Haoting couldn't sit still, his eyes were about to burst, and he said angrily: "You vicious woman! Don't slander me with your lies!"

Mr. An fluttered his sleeves, and someone came out from behind to restrain Pei Haoting, pressing his shoulders and forcing him to kneel down.

He opened his fan with great interest: "Then why should I listen to what you say?"

[Hey, that’s unreasonable. You still play with a fan in the middle of winter, so you know how to look cool.] Pei Shao curled his lips.

Master An looked at her calmly again, but Pei Shao was unaware.

Mrs. Cheng heard her thoughts and patted her back twice as a warning.

"The relationship between my wife and the Marquis has broken down many years ago. There are many concubines in the house. These adults can ask anyone and everyone will know."

Cheng's eyes were extremely calm. Although he was shorter than Mr. An, his aura was not inferior at all.

"Qian Yue is my adopted daughter. The Marquis has always been unhappy with her. Therefore, Qian Yue rarely lives in the Marquis' mansion. She usually lives in a house outside. Master An can also inquire on his own."

Mr. An closed the fan, still lazily.

"No matter what I say, you are also husband and wife, so why should I believe your words?"

Mrs. Cheng raised her head and looked directly at Mr. An, her words ringing loudly.

"The reason why I want to say these words today is because I want to make peace with him!"

"Cheng Anbai!" Pei Haoting struggled to look at her, the anger on his face could not be blocked, and the last trace of elegance disappeared.

"Heli? Don't even think about it! It's you who are guilty and you should be punished!"

Mrs. Cheng sneered, feeling for the first time that she was blind when she was young and fell in love with such a ruthless person.

"Am I guilty? Master Hou, please don't make fun of me."

She sneered, "I have been married to you for seventeen years and have given birth to two sons and one daughter for you. I take care of everything in the house. I respect my elders and serve my parents-in-law. I dare not neglect you every day. Please tell me, Marquis Wu'an. I, Cheng An, have nothing to do with you." What crime?!”

Pei Haoting pursed his lips, but could no longer utter a word of rebuttal.

"If you want to leave, just ask yourself to come down. I, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, don't have Heli, only the concubine!"

Mrs. Cheng almost laughed out of anger at him. She closed her eyes and didn't bother to argue with him any more.

"In this case," Mr. An paused, with a smile in his eyes, "since it is your family matter, Beiruan Marquis, then please ask the Crown Prince to come and judge."

After he finished speaking, he turned sideways, revealing the person behind him.

Prince Nan Ruan is only 12 years old this year, but he has been determined to be the prince since his birth. He can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. His whole body has a dignified temperament, and he has the demeanor of an emperor who is not angry and has no authority.

Seeing the prince, Pei Haoting fell to the ground.

It's over...it's all over now.
