253 I’m Going to Depose You!
Pei Qian’s appearance was unexpected.
Pei Qian walked in slowly from outside the door. Every step he took wrecked Gao Xuwei’s nerves even more! When he was only three to four steps away from Gao Xuwei, Gao Xuwei couldn’t take it anymore and let out a miserable cry. He quickly retreated behind Pei Zhaoyue, who he had betrayed previously, and trembled.
Didn’t they say that Pei Qian had been patrolling the border these past few days?!
How…
Why did he come back so quickly?!
“What are you afraid of? Weren’t you quite articulate just now?! However, there’s something you should remember clearly. Conspiracy is a serious crime!
If the Pei family can’t escape, the Gao family naturally can’t escape either!
Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten what Marquis Ning Yuan told you back then!
“He told you to restrain my aunt after you arrived in the north and not let her act so arrogant and unruly! But from the looks of it, you actually couldn’t even handle such a simple thing. How disappointing!”
Pei Qian turned around and glanced at Lu Ze, who protected Lin Suisui and retreated to the side. Not only did the dissatisfaction in his eyes not subside, but it also intensified. “Erlang, this is not like you!
They’re already bullying your wife, but you didn’t notice anything wrong at all?
If the person on the road at the foot of the mountain was Madam Liu, would you still be standing here and watching in amusement, as if nothing had happened?”
Although he had just returned and had not investigated what had happened, he realized that something was wrong!
Who was Lu Ze?!
With Lu Ze’s ability, not to mention that his stupid aunt caused such a huge commotion, he would even know if she cursed Madam Liu at home!
How could such a ridiculous thing happen?!
“Mr. Pei, you’re wrong about me.” In the face of Pei Qian’s accusation, Lu Ze replied very calmly, “My wife has long discovered that this so-called flower appreciation banquet is just a trap!
In that case, from the beginning to the end, we had no intention of attending the banquet. Therefore, what does what your aunt wants to do have to do with us?!
Originally, we thought that your aunt would use some tricks at the banquet, but who would have thought that your aunt would go all out and try to take my wife’s life!
That’s why we made a mistake in our estimation this time!”
Lu Ze paused for a moment before continuing to look at Pei Qian. “Since you’re back, I’ll leave this matter to you!”
Lu Ze gave Su Le a look. Soon, another servant came in with a large box. After he jogged in, he knelt beside Pei Qian. Then, he raised the wooden box in his hand and handed it to Pei Qian.
“What’s inside is all the confessions about this matter! The criminals are all in the Imperial City’s government office now. As for the criminals, your aunt is one of them. Also, Duke Huai Yang’s mother is waiting outside!
How to deal with it is up to you!”
After saying that, Lu Ze didn’t delay any longer. He turned around and held Lin Suisui’s hand as they left the main hall. They got into the carriage and rushed back.
As Lu Ze and the others left, Pei Qian didn’t stand on ceremony. He instructed Qian He, who was standing at the side, “Go and kidnap everyone who works for the general and Madam Pei!”
“What are you doing?!” Hearing Pei Qian’s words, Pei Zhaoyue was the first to jump up.
She originally thought that Pei Qian’s return this time would most likely end her troubles. Unexpectedly, she was ruthlessly betrayed by her nephew.
“Of course I’m helping you clean up the trash in the residence!” Pei Qian flexed his wrist and said impatiently, “Aunt, you’ve lived for so long already, so why haven’t you understood yet?!
From the first day you saw Madam Liu, have you ever taken advantage of her?!
In that case, you should know that she’s not someone you can provoke!
But you keep doing one stupid thing after another!
Every time I think that you’re already stupid enough, in the blink of an eye, you do something even more stupid!
“Forget it, I don’t expect you two idiots to listen to me anyway! From today onwards, you two can retire in the General’s residence!”
Pei Qian didn’t want to say anything else, so he turned around and slowly walked out of the main hall. As he stood under the roof, he looked at the servants who had already been detained below and said indifferently, “Punish them all!”
“You’re crazy. You can’t do this!” Pei Zhaoyue originally thought that Pei Qian had only come over to reprimand her in public. She didn’t expect him to be so vicious. He was going to get rid of all her lackeys!
“Why can’t I?!” Pei Qian turned around and looked at Pei Zhaoyue, who had been stopped by Qian He and pressed against the door of the main hall. He glanced coldly at the servants kneeling on the ground outside the courtyard while trembling. “I’ll put the word out today!
You people better listen carefully!
If you guys condone your master causing trouble again next time, the person lying on this torture stool will be you guys!
I can’t punish your master, but if I want to take your lives, I just need to give the order!”
With a wave of Pei Qian’s hand, the guards waiting for the execution in the courtyard had already raised their torture rods and smashed them heavily on the backs of the people pressed against the stools…
Amidst the screams, Pei Qian turned to look at the consort who had already peed herself and fainted from fear. He sneered before looking at Pei Zhaoyue, who had also peed herself. “Aunt, take care!”
“You unfilial son! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell your father about all of this?! I finally understand why your father has never liked you. You’re a cold-hearted, vicious, and despicable unfilial son!
I, I want to return to the capital. I want to tell your father everything that happened here!
“I’m going to depose you! I’m going to make you pay for your actions today!”
Pei Zhaoyue suddenly looked up from the ground and glared at Pei Qian with hatred as she gritted her teeth and cursed.
However, Pei Qian wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he smiled faintly. “Alright, if you want to report me, you have to wait until you have the chance to return to the capital!
Instead of that, you might as well worry about your health now. After all, the pain after the poison acts up every month is not something ordinary people can withstand! Enjoy!”
