The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

Chapter 106 When did you find your sweetheart?

"She smiles sweetly, and has longing eyes..."

Pei Jinzhi walked through the corridor and saw Baili Xi holding something in his hand, muttering poetry, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Stop drooling! The sun has risen from the west today, and you've even learned to recite the Book of Poetry."

Baili Xi rolled her eyes at him, then unfolded the handkerchief and sniffed it: "What do you know? This was embroidered specially for me by my sweetheart."

"When did you find a lover?" Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, curious. "Let me see, what are you embroidering?"

The handkerchief was just an ordinary moon-white brocade, with an orchid embroidered on the lower right corner and a butterfly flying among the leaves, looking very lifelike.

Having seen many more exquisite embroidery works than this, Pei Jinzhi threw it back to him: "It doesn't look anything special."

"Hey, it's none of your business." Baili Xi carefully put the handkerchief into his arms.

An armored soldier trotted along and reported, "Sir, the girl is being sold on the street again today."

"Okay, got it. I'll come right away." Baili Xi said.

Pei Jinzhi waved his jade fan and sneered, "Which young lady have you taken a fancy to so soon?"

Li Jiu chimed in, "Isn't it from a brothel this time? Is it a girl selling embroidery on the street? Master Baili's tastes change so quickly."

"Go away, go away. What do you know? Ever since I met her, there has been no other girl in my eyes." Baili Xi raised his hand and left.

Pei Jinzhi was a little curious, and also worried that he would get into trouble in Fengshui Town.

"Go, find someone to follow and see whose girl it is."

It would be fine if she was an ordinary girl from a good family, but I am afraid that someone with ulterior motives would deliberately approach Baili Xi.

Li Jiu naturally understood Pei Jinzhi's intention, so he called a reliable servant and gave him some instructions.

"Master, the post station reported that the county lady and the third young lady also went out today, and someone has been sent to follow them."

"Well, take good care of him and don't let anything get out of hand. How's Pei Yanting doing?"

"Most of the money swindled out of the Sihai Gambling House went into his pocket, and now the Kang family is trying to raise money to help him pay it back. I think it's pretty bad. His leg was set, and he's still bedridden. However, I've noticed recently that Nanny Qin, who is by the side of County Master Jianing, often goes to Songxuezhai to visit the Second Young Master."

Pei Jinzhi's brows moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "Go on."

"That Nanny Qin is very close to Madam Liao who is by Kang's side. People often see them whispering to each other. Kang also gave a lot of expensive things to that Nanny Qin. Master, it looks like she wants to steal your girl." Li Jiu had a wicked smile on his face.

Pei Jinzhi was happy to see it happen: "That's good, it saves me the trouble."

"For some reason, the county lady hasn't returned to the capital yet. Has she not given up yet?"

"Let's take another look." Pei Jinzhi said solemnly, with his hands behind his back.

A few maids came over from not far away from the pavilion, laughing loudly.

Li Jiu scolded: "The prince is here, didn't you see it?"

The maids stood there trembling, not daring to say a word, and something fell out of a little girl's hand.

Li Jiu picked it up and saw that it was also a piece of brocade handkerchief embroidered with a white angelica.

"Where did it come from?" Pei Jinzhi asked sharply.

This seems to be from the same person as the embroidered handkerchief in Baili Xi's hand.

The maidservant did not dare to hide it and lowered her head to report:

"It was given by Lord Baili. Several maids in the courtyard have it."

The other two maids also took out their own embroidered handkerchiefs to prove that what they said was true:

"Your Highness, we all have them. Some of them are fans, and some are handkerchiefs. I heard that Lord Baili bought them on the street."

Pei Jinzhi laughed. What he bought on the street became, in Baili Xi's mouth, embroidered by his beloved just for him.

It's really good at flattering yourself.

Pei Jinzhi waved his hand, and Li Jiu's eyes widened: "Everyone, go down."

The maids breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."

Pei Jinzhi became interested and waved his fan at Li Jiu:

"Let's go and see who this girl is."

Sang Wan felt a little regretful that he didn't check the almanac before going out today.

She blamed herself for the last time she met Baili Xi in Changdou. This time, she specially changed the location of her stall to the bustling Tongqingfang, but unexpectedly she met Princess Jianing and Pei Qingwu who came to visit Jinlou.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other; these two people already have conflicts with her, so how could they let her go?

Without saying a word, he had her stall overturned.

"I was wondering who this was. Turns out it's a vixen."

Pei Qingwu held a silk handkerchief and sneered:

"Why, does my big brother need you to eat or drink? You are so shameless that you are embarrassing yourself in the street. You have the nerve to sell this thing?"

She threw it to the ground in disgust and stepped on it a few times with her pearl-studded embroidered shoes.

"Twenty cents." Sang Wan's face was calm.

Pei Jinwu raised her head, her jewels swung, as if she hadn't heard clearly: "What?"

Sang Wan said calmly, "You stepped on my handkerchief and broke it. Twenty cents for a square handkerchief."

Pei Qingwu and Princess Jianing looked at each other, laughing as if they had heard a huge joke and were almost choking.

"Oh my God, she even dared to ask us for money."

"Just twenty cents, give it to me."

The Lady of Jianing County spread her hands and the maid handed her a purse.

She grabbed a handful of coins and threw them at Sang Wan's face:

"Here you are, you little bitch. Did Brother Jinzhi give up on you so quickly? Look at you. You're not even as good as the maids in the Pei Mansion. How dare you show yourself in public? If I were you, I would have found a rope and hanged myself long ago."

"Then you should go quickly. Do you need a rope? If you don't have one, I can lend it to you."

Coins fell like raindrops, and Sang Wan picked up a few in his hand.

The Jianing County Lady was so angry that her mouth twisted. Pei Qingwu raised her hand to slap her:

"I, I, I, didn't I teach you the rules? How dare you call yourself "I" in front of our county lady?"

Sang Wan squeezed her hand and pushed her back effortlessly:

"I'm no longer a servant in the Pei Mansion. It's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

Pei Qingwu stumbled and fell to the ground, feeling humiliated and angry.

"How dare you push me?! Come on, take this damn girl down! Today I want to see who will protect you."

People were coming and going on both sides of the street, and soon, they were all attracted by the farce here.

Sang Wan looked around with cold eyes and sneered:

"Miss Pei San, are you trying to bully others by taking advantage of your power? Is this how the Pei Mansion taught you the rules?"

"You!" Pei Qingwu was furious, no longer caring about her dignity: "Are you all deaf? I'll let you capture her!"

Several maids rushed over and tied Sang Wan's hands behind her back. Pei Qingwu raised her hand and slapped her, but her hand was pinched in mid-air.

"Stop!" It was Baili Xi.

He looked surprised: "Miss Pei San, what's going on?"

"Baili Xi, you've arrived just in time. This stinky girl stole my things. This county lady needs to capture her and send her to the county government office to face punishment!"

Princess Jianing looked very proud and winked at Pei Qingwu.

Pei Qingwu understood: "Yes, she stole the county lady's jade pendant, which was given by the emperor. Search her!"
