On the roof, Pei Chun couldn't help but kicked away the tiles that were in the way, and in front of the horrified Ding father and daughter, he jumped to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The floor of the room was silent, and she didn't make a sound.

Obviously, Pei Chun has reached perfection when it comes to breaking into other people's houses.

She blinked, raised her hand suddenly, and punched Ding Mei in the face as she was approaching.

Protect your brother's innocence.

Her fist was so powerful that Ding Mei retreated repeatedly, her foot twisted, and she lost her balance and fell onto the dishes on the table.

The greasy vegetable soup immediately soaked Ding Mei's new clothes.

"Ah!" Ding Mei screamed, her voice was sharp and piercing, but it only lasted for a moment, and a piece of rag used to wipe the saddle was stuffed into her mouth.

Pei Qing, who jumped down right behind him, was very steady. With his face covered, he kicked Ding Ren, who was stunned beside him.

"Plop!" There was a loud noise, and the floor beneath my feet couldn't help but shake a little.

Ding Ren, who was lying on the ground, was about to shout loudly to ask the servant guarding outside to come in and help, when he saw Pei Chun pulling out a long dagger.

The cold and sharp dagger was suddenly placed across his neck.

"Uncle Ding, I haven't seen you for a long time.

Don't shout too loudly, otherwise I can't guarantee whether they come in faster or the dagger is faster."

Pei Chun's voice was sweet, with a hint of smile in it.

"What on earth are you going to do? Is there no law in the capital?!"

Ding Ren endured the pain from being kicked in the chest and tried hard to maintain his dignity as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Pei Chun sneered and said nothing. Instead, he raised his eyes contemptuously and scanned the room.

I saw a not-so-small hole in the roof, and the moonlight passed through like a layer of soft silver gauze, shining through the hole into the not-so-small house.

The cold wind chilled Ding Mei's greasy clothes and she shivered subconsciously.

Over there, the second brother Pei Cui personally tied up his former fiancée.

“Uncle, my brother has already told you that if you are willing to cancel the engagement, he will announce it in the capital.

It's his health problem that has delayed the development of your daughter. Don't tell me this is not possible.

You must take some betrothal gifts from my family, right?

Why are you so greedy? Huh?" Pei Chun's dagger moved forward a little.

Looking at Ding Ren's rough skin with bloodstains.

Ding Ren took a deep breath and looked nervously at the dagger across his neck.

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court! Don't think you can do anything to me just because you are the daughter of Duke Xin!

Even if I die, Duke Thaksin will not be able to escape the Crown Prince's accountability!"

Pei Chun raised his eyebrows, seeing that Ding Ren's legs were shaking with fear, but he was still able to say these words with a tough face.

It was a little funny: "Oh, uncle is so tough, it's different when you have the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Oh, but uncle, don't forget that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only asked you to test my father, but he didn't ask you to really go against the Princess's Mansion.

You said that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that you were killed because you wanted to covet the Pei family's betrothal gift,

Who will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince side with?

I remember that my father had the military token that the Crown Prince wanted."

With every word Pei Chun spoke, Ding Ren's expression changed.

By the time she finished speaking, Ding Ren was already sweating all over.

But he still refused to accept the news and said stubbornly: "It would be so embarrassing if the news of my daughter's engagement being broken off got out. Your second son is a man, how can a man understand!"

Pei Chun lowered his eyes and thought.

How could she not understand? In her previous life, many people covered their noses when they saw her, as if they saw a plague, frowning and backing away from her.

But in the previous life, why weren’t there so many problems when the Ding family chose to break off the engagement with my second brother?

She retracted the dagger, grabbed Ding Ren's collar with a cold expression, tore open his sleeves, and stuffed them into his mouth.

With a sneer, he threw the man to the ground.

He kicked Ding Ren in the plump belly.

This kick was extremely powerful: "My second brother wanted to cancel the engagement, but he didn't use any cheap aphrodisiac.

My second brother wants to cancel the engagement, but he has no intention of ruining your girl’s reputation!

My second brother wants to cancel the engagement, but he still remembers that you are his uncle and treats you as an elder, so he discusses the matter with you in a friendly manner."

Every time she spoke, she kicked Ding Ren hard. After she finished three sentences, Ding Ren rolled his eyes.

"Um... um..." Ding Ren held his stomach in fear, his hands in a defensive posture, trying in vain to block Pei Chun's legs that were like an iron whip.

Seeing that the man had been beaten almost enough, Pei Chun curled his lips and pulled out the wet pieces of his sleeve from his mouth.

He squatted down and looked at Ding Ren with satisfaction, his veins bulging and he covered his stomach in discomfort.

She had the foresight to cover her nose with her hand.

Sure enough, the next moment after she put down her hand, Ding Ren collapsed to the ground, his throat rolling and his mouth opened in unbearable pain.

All the undigested food residues in the stomach were vomited out along with the wine.

The stench of sour fermentation immediately filled the entire house.

Pei Chun saw Ding Ren's embarrassed look and smiled: "Uncle Ding, I have one last question for you, will you cancel the engagement?"

Ding Ren was lying there vomiting, with his face, ears, and hair covered in filth.

Ding Mei beside her had red eyes from crying, and she looked at Pei Chun as if he was looking at a heinous murderer.

But she still shook her head and wanted to reach out and grab her second brother Pei Cui's clothes.

Begging him to stop Pei Chun.

Pei Chun looked calm and was about to speak when two knocks were heard outside the window.

She frowned, found a clean place, picked up Ding Ren again, threw him on the table, and smoothly turned the dagger in her hand.

With the sharp tip, he was about to chop off the back of Ding Ren's hand.

"I agree!!" Ding Ren's eyes were red with anger and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

His throat was burning with pain, so painful that his speech was extremely hoarse and he couldn't even speak louder.

"I promise. I will send someone back to get the jade pendant now. Send someone back now!"

He kept struggling, trying to pull his hand back.

But Pei Chun would never let him have his wish. His hands were like iron clamps, tightly clamping Ding Ren's hands.

There was a hint of relief between his eyebrows, and he moved the dagger away a little, and said in a tone of praise: "It's good that uncle knows how to deal with the current situation."

Ding Ren looked pale.

When his daughter Ding Mei saw that her father's hand was not chopped off, a look of relief appeared in her eyes, and she looked up at her second brother Pei Cui pleadingly again.

The second brother turned his head away, as if he didn’t see it.

It was the eldest brother who spoke up: "Since Lord Ding is willing, Lord Ding does not need to send anyone home to get it. Just go back quietly."

Pei Chun obediently let go of his hand, and watched Ding Ren as if he had been reborn. He helped his daughter up and ran away, and he couldn't help laughing from his throat.

When I turned around and opened the window, I saw my third and fourth brothers covering their noses, looking like they had been waiting for a long time.

Pei Chun reached out and took the jade pendant between his fourth brother's fingertips, then threw it to his second brother behind him.

"Just wait, old fellow Ding Ren will definitely not accept the beating he received for nothing."

Fourth brother Pei Zhan couldn't help but comment.

"I'm waiting for him to refuse to accept!" Pei Chun snorted.

It was past midnight and the streets were deserted again. The alleys were sparsely populated, but there were still a few drunks lying in the corners and shouting.

Ding Ren was supported by a servant. The pain in his chest, abdomen and throat was unbearable.

He wiped the blood from his cheek with a sinister look on his face.

It was really embarrassing for him to be beaten by a kid whose hair had not even fully grown in front of his daughter and future son-in-law.

When he got home, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

He immediately stood up and searched for the jade pendant that marked his engagement with the Pei family. Sure enough, the wooden box containing the jade pendant was already empty.

Someone broke into his house!

He hurriedly found the account book about Lanxiangyuan stored in the study in the house, and found that it was not lost, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, he packed his things immediately, not caring that it was the middle of the night, with a face bruised and blue from being beaten, he changed his clothes and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.

Along the way, he kept urging the servant to go faster and faster.
