After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Even before coming to the capital, he had already decided to deal with the people in Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, and he had expected to meet them sooner or later.

But it shouldn’t have happened today. It was really unexpected and disappointing.

Besides, it’s not time for the real show to begin yet.

"Rong Niang."

Chen Qingzhu originally had no intention of getting entangled with Pei Xiao. She planned to call her daughter, pay the bill and leave.

When Rong Niang heard her voice, she turned around immediately and saw Chen Qingzhu coming out without wearing a veil. She was panicked for a moment.

It’s over. My mother has also been seen by my father. I’m afraid she won’t be able to get away easily today.

At this moment, she regretted deeply why she was so willful and insisted on forcing her mother to go out to the lantern festival.

If they hadn't gone to the Lantern Festival, they could have lived peacefully in the Yan family's house without being discovered by their father.

Even though she thought this in her heart, she still kept a straight face and walked firmly to stand beside Chen Qingzhu.

"Waiter, check out."

Chen Qingzhu saw the waiter who was just walking over and greeted him in a cold voice, as if he hadn't seen Pei Xiao at all.

Being ignored like this, Pei Xiao, who was always proud, was a little angry.

But when he thought about the injustice Chen Qingzhu had suffered, his anger suddenly disappeared, leaving only pity and guilt in his heart.

Once, he was deceived by Zhang and mistook Xiaozhu as the murderer who poisoned Jin Ge'er. He was so cruel to her that he almost ordered her to be tortured.

It's normal for her to feel resentful.

I think at that time, she must have been coerced by Zhang and was forced to stand up and take the blame. Under her seemingly calm appearance, I don't know how terrified and desperate she was.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, Zhang sent Xiaozhu to the temple to practice and atone for his sins, so Xiaozhu did not make an irreparable mistake.

"Xiao Zhu, this is our own business."

He explained to Chen Qingzhu softly, then turned to the shopkeeper beside him and instructed:

"From now on, whenever this lady comes, she can just pay the bill."

In this case, Chen Qingzhu was too lazy to argue with him about whether to pay the ten or twenty taels of silver. He simply took Rong Niang's hand, went back to the compartment, took out Rong Niang's veil hat, asked her to put it on, and then put on a veil hat himself.

"Let's go, Rong Niang, let's go back."

Seeing Chen Qingzhu so calm, Rong Niang's panicked heart also calmed down.

The two of them walked past Pei Xiao and others who were following them and were about to leave the restaurant.

Pei Xiao caught up again.

Chen Qingzhu now has a deep understanding of human nature and knows exactly what Pei Xiao is thinking. He just thinks it is ridiculous.

Now, to her, his every move was like admiring a clown on the stage.

Since she never intended to let these enemies die, it was natural that she would tease and torture them many times, let them experience all kinds of suffering in the world and then die in despair.

Originally, she just wanted to take Rong Niang away directly in order not to disrupt the plan, but since Pei Xiao caught up with them, she might as well create some trouble for them in advance.

"What does Jingnan Bo want to do?"

Chen Qingzhu turned around and asked coldly.

"Xiao Zhu, why are you in Beijing?"

Pei Xiao asked about what he cared about most with concern.

He knew that Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi had sent people to Cihang Temple to ask for Xiaozhu to come back and serve Zhang.

It didn't matter originally.

As a concubine, it is my duty to serve my mistress.

But at this moment, he was reluctant to let her be tortured by Zhang like that again.

"Did Cihang Temple drive you out?"

He thought of a bad possibility.

After all, with Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi's current status, no one dares to offend her.

It is very likely that in order to avoid becoming an enemy of Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi, Cihang Temple gave up Xiaozhu and her daughter, and even sent them to the capital.

"If so, what should Jingnan Bo do?"

Chen Qingzhu asked.

Pei Xiao immediately said:

"Xiao Zhu, I know you've been wronged before. But don't worry, now that you've come to the capital, I won't let you continue to wander around. Ah Wu, take Aunt Chen and her daughter to the other courtyard in the east of the city immediately."

Letting Xiaozhu go back to the Bo's Mansion now will definitely make Zhang unhappy.

There is a difference between wives and concubines. If Zhang harasses Xiaozhu, he will not be able to intervene.

It would be better to let Xiaozhu live outside so that he can visit her often and make her feel more comfortable.
