stern wife

Chapter 379
Sure enough, upon hearing this, not only Cao Huimin, but even Cao Tailai's complexion suddenly changed.

Cao Tailai said in a deep voice:

"Could it be that Pei's tutor taught you to slander others like this?"

Pei Yanhe asked back with a matter of course:

"Then Mr. Ling just said that my sister is charming and seductive, isn't that a slander? Oh, only your son can slander my sister, I can't slander you, oh, Mr. Cao, I don't have such a noble character, I just know , someone slaps me, I slap others ten times, if others dare to bully my family, then I will bully other people's family, this is called 'reciprocity', isn't it?"

Cao Tailai's expression was heavy, but he was right after all, so he could only turn his head and stare fiercely at his son.

And Cao Huimin was staring at Pei Xiaoran with hatred, hoping that he would meet robbers or bandits on the road, and then clean up these two annoying things!

While the atmosphere was at a stalemate, a voice of calling was suddenly heard from inside.

Cao Tailai immediately restrained his expression, and led Cao Huimin into the main hall.

Pei Xiaoran quietly gave her fourth brother a thumbs up, and walked in without haste.

In the main hall, civil and military officials were separated on both sides, and the ones standing in the front were several His Royal Highnesses.

His Royal Highness the First Prince, who was temporarily punished because of the villain's needle injection, also appeared among the other Royal Highnesses at this time.

As Pei Xiaoran expected, Emperor Chixuan really did not vent his anger on the queen, but instead let Zhu Lianxi return to court.

However, Pei Xiaoran didn't even look at the princes, he just took his fourth brother to kneel down to receive the order, and listened quietly to the reading.

At the same time, she could feel the contemptuous, resentful, helpless, or hostile eyes of the officials from all directions.

Those gazes were like sharp needles, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

However, Pei Xiaoran didn't seem to notice it at all, he calmly listened to and received the order, his movements were natural and courteous, without any panic or bewilderment.

The little man stood in the center of the magnificent and majestic hall, ignoring the piercing gazes from all directions, and only looked forward firmly, looking at Emperor Chixuan.

Even though his figure is so petite, he inexplicably makes people feel a sense of strength and tenacity, even if he is submerged in the crowd, it cannot be ignored.

Emperor Chixuan was extremely satisfied, and said to Zhao Shun who was beside him:
"Bring something."

"Yes."

The things were naturally prepared long ago. Zhao Shun personally took a long sword from the hand of the little eunuch next to him and sent it to Emperor Chixuan.

Emperor Chixuan raised his hand to take it, stood up, stepped down the steps, and slowly came to Pei Xiaoran.

"I know that you don't have any official position, and I'm afraid the people below won't obey you, so I will temporarily lend this thing to you. Having it here is equivalent to my presence. If there are still people who dare not obey, they can cut it off first."

That's right, what Emperor Chixuan handed over to Pei Xiaoran was a Shangfang sword that cut iron like mud.

The faces of the officials immediately became ugly, and the ugliest of them were Cao Tailai and his son, the servants of the military department standing in front of Pei Xiaoran.

Cao Tailai thought that he was the leader of this trip, and Pei Xiaoran was just a foil, but who knows, it turned out to be the other way around!

Emperor Chixuan also personally said the words 'the people below'. He, the handsome servant of the military department, became her 'the people below' in front of a kid. If he said it, wouldn't it make people laugh?
But Emperor Chixuan was beside him, even if Cao Tailai was so angry that he hurt internally, he could only bear it silently, not daring to show any emotion on his face.

Pei Xiaoran was also flattered, and quickly fell to his knees, took the sword with both hands, and said crisply:

"Xiao Ran will go all out and fulfill his mission!"

Emperor Chixuan nodded with a smile, raised his hand and rubbed her head.

Pei Xiaoran was given one day's preparation time, and in one day's time, he was about to set off.

Early in the morning, Pei Xiaoran's five masters had already appeared outside the gate of Pei's mansion waiting for her, and there were already five thousand soldiers outside the city, ready to go at any time.

Pei Xiaoran needs to take the imperial decree, first go to the granaries along the way to collect grain, and then head north after collecting enough grain of [-] shi.

Pei Yanhe also got up early, and when Pei Xiaoran went to call him, he was carrying his burden and was about to go out. The two met and went out together.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and most of the servants in the mansion had not yet risen, only the sound of the wind whistling by.

Pei Xiaoran deliberately set the departure time earlier, in order to leave before her mother, second sister, and third brother got up, so as not to make them feel bad when they parted.

Pei Xiaoran walked forward clinging to a lantern, and suddenly asked:
"The old lady... what did the fourth brother say? He actually agreed to let the fourth brother go with me?"

Pei Yanhe looked around, lowered his voice and said:

"I'll just say it's the order of His Majesty, and I can't disobey it. If you don't agree, grandma, you can go and talk to His Majesty yourself."

Pei Xiaoran pursed his lips and smiled, if the old lady had the guts, she would have gone to heaven long ago, why would she be nesting in Pei's mansion and submit to her talents?
She thought about it and said:

"It's not considered a forgery of the emperor's order. The Holy Majesty personally agreed to this matter. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Holy Majesty asked you to go with him."

Pei Yanhe immediately showed a proud look, and said:

"It's all thanks to my sister that the Holy One agreed to let me follow. Hehe, don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble!"

Pei Xiaoran nodded, and left Pei's house with him, boarded the two carriages that had been prepared long ago, and ran out of the city with the five masters.

Pei Xiaoran originally thought that Cao Tailai and his son would have arrived long ago. After all, he is the servant, so he must be more active and thoughtful than her.

Who knows, when I got to the ground to look around, I found that the two of them were still there.

Pei Xiaoran didn't delay, and immediately sent someone to the Shilang's mansion to call for someone. As a result, a group of people waited in the cold wind for about half an hour before seeing two carriages swaying from a distance.

Pei Xiaoran has a carriage, so naturally it won't be able to freeze, but not every one of the [-] soldiers and horses outside is equipped with a carriage to keep out the wind and rain.

She had a sullen face, and Cao Tailai, who had the same unattractive complexion, and Cao Huimin, who was yawning and getting up all day, looked at the ceremony, and said coldly:
"I have already sent people to the Minister's Mansion to invite Lord Minister and Young Master Ling to go, why are you two so late?"

When Cao Tailai heard her questioning tone, he immediately frowned unhappily, then looked at the group of soldiers standing in the cold wind, changed his mind, and said with a smile:
"When my mother heard that I was going to travel far away, she was very reluctant to part. I wanted to leave, but she held my hand and refused to let me go. There was no other way. Wait, I'm here to apologize to everyone."

As he spoke, he bowed his hands perfunctorily towards the group of soldiers.
