Chapter 21

"Ah!" Liu Huai screamed, and fell to the ground with his hands covering his forehead.

It happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned.

I don't know who yelled "Young Master" first, and all the people immediately rushed forward, surrounded Liu Huai, and left Pei Jing aside.

Pei Jing was stunned, staring blankly at his hands, what kept coming to mind was that he had killed someone.

Panicked, he didn't bother to take the papers on the table, and ran out of the gambling house.

He was afraid that someone would chase him, so he didn't dare to stop. It was already late at night, and he ran around without knowing the direction, looking for those dark and remote alleys.

It wasn't until he was able to run away that his knees gave way and he fell to the ground.

Panting heavily, the chest cavity felt like it had been torn apart, burning with pain.

Tears flowed from his eyes suddenly without warning.He blocked his eyes with his arm, but he could feel more and more heat flowing down his arm.

At this moment, he didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to go home, he didn't dare to see his parents and relatives.

He is extremely remorseful, hating himself for being eager for quick success and being insatiable, now that his family property has been squandered by him overnight, how will the family survive in the future? .
But he said Pei's family.

Chen Miao herself was worried all night, but she did not see Pei Jing coming back. Although she was relieved, she was faintly worried.

In the early morning, Juan'er came to dress her up, and Chen Miao asked Juan'er, does the young master often stay out at night?

Juan'er hesitated for a while, and said that although there were such cases, they were not many, because the young master had the habit of choosing seats.He is not used to sleeping in other people's beds, so most of the time, even if he comes back late, he will still go home to sleep.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a loud commotion from the front hall.

Juan'er said in amazement: "Your maidservant, go out and have a look first, please wait here for a while, young mistress."

Before Chen Miao agreed, Juan'er had already walked out quickly.After less than half a stick of incense, Juan'er walked back quickly, but her expression was panicked.

Chen Miao couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Juan'er must have been terribly frightened, she was so trembling that she couldn't even finish her sentence, she pointed outside, her trembling lips said: "A lot of people came outside, saying that the young master lost money in the gambling house last night, and came to collect debts. "

Chen Miao couldn't help but change color, "How much did you lose? You have this expression?"

In her memory, Pei Jing often gambled, and even seeing Pei Jing return Pei Xin's money, winning or losing must be commonplace.

But Juan'er has served Pei Jing for a long time, how much did he lose to scare Juan'er into such a state?
The horror on Juan'er's face deeply disturbed Chen Miao, but she heard Juan'er say word by word: "All the property."

Chen Miao stood up suddenly.

Although she has only come to Pei's family for more than a month, and she has only been married for two or three days, she clearly knows that the Pei family has a total of [-] hectares of land.

Could it be that Pei Jing lost everything overnight?
It was as if he had returned to a few months ago, when he was still in his own home. At that time, the Chen family's building was about to collapse overnight.

Could it be that in just a few months, she will face the same ending again?
Chen Miao turned around and ran towards the hall, Juan'er was startled by her, and kept shouting: "Eldest young mistress, slow down!"

When Chen Miao ran to the hall, the hall was already in chaos.

Mrs. Lu had long forgotten her own majesty, and with almost a bit of hysterical madness, she was angrily yelling at the burly men in front of her.

"Get out of here, all of you! I don't believe this is what my son did! Get out!"

Pei Songde is not at home, he must have gone to the field, and he has not had time to come back in a while.When Pei Xin and Chen Ling went to school, Pei Yue huddled in Chen Nanny's arms, so frightened that she couldn't even cry.

Chen Miao ran over, pulled Lu Shi over, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's going on?"

Seeing her, Mrs. Lu seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and burst into tears: "Miao'er, they said that Jing'er gambled last night and lost all the family property to them."

Chen Miao's heart sank, was it true?

Suddenly a surprised voice came to my ears: "Miss Chen?"

She turned her head to look, and said in surprise, "Hang Feijue?"

The visitor turned out to be Hang Feijue, why is he here?

Hang Feijue was also very surprised to see Chen Miao here, and even more surprised to see her calling that middle-aged woman "mother".

But he was very smart, he heard that she and her younger brother Chen Ling were picked up by a middle-aged man, and now seeing that her hair accessories had been combed into a woman's head, he guessed in a second that she might be married.

But he didn't expect that he would marry this family.

He laughed out loud, "Chen Miao, the one you won't marry is that Pei Jing, right?"

Chen Miao took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice, "So what? Why did you come here? How could Pei Jing lose so much property in one night?"

Hang Feijue unfolded a piece of paper in his hand and placed it in front of Chen Miao, "Look for yourself, it's written by him in black and white."

Chen Miao had never seen Pei Jing's handwriting, but there was an inscription on it, and the writing was very clear. If they lost, they would pay a total of [-] hectares of land at home.

Hang Feijue received the evidence, and said in a low voice: "What's more, Pei Jing lost last night and wanted to deny it, and injured Liu Shuli's only son, Liu Huai. Now the county magistrate Cao is preparing to issue a wanted notice to arrest Pei Jing, If you know his whereabouts, you'd better hand him over as soon as possible."

Lu's said angrily: "Nonsense! Even if my Jing'er is a bit stubborn, how could he lose all the property in the family so ignorantly, and still hurt people?"

As soon as the words fell, Pei Songde's voice came from the door: "Bring me the written documents!"

Looking at the written evidence in Hang Feijue's hand, Pei Songde's face turned blue with anger. Others could deny it, but he couldn't.

The handwriting on the paper was indeed written by Pei Jing himself.

Pei Songde said in a deep voice: "I know, this debt, I admit it."

Lu's exclaimed: "Songde!"

Pei Songde said angrily: "Okay! This is the good son you spoiled! He will not feel at ease until we lose all our family business!"

He dropped his sleeves heavily, and said angrily, "I'll get the land deed!" He turned and walked towards the back hall.

Lu Shi was startled, and suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.

Chen Miao had no choice but to hold her in her arms and comfort her softly.

But she was worried about another matter. According to Hang Feijue's tone, Pei Jing not only lost the money, but also injured someone, and the one who injured was the official's son. How could those people let it go?
