Pei Ji, who returned to the First Assistant Mansion, had been feeling a little uneasy.

He glanced at the rouges and said irritably: "Li Yi, throw those things away!"

"Yes." Li Yi picked up the rouge box, went out, and came back soon.

He also brought a list: "Sir, there is a letter from the Ministry of Accounts, saying that they checked the account and there is indeed a problem. Please take a look."

Pei Ji spread it out and looked at it with a sarcastic look on his face. Huang Lu had owed a lot of money to the treasury over the years. It seemed like he should take action on the Huang family first.

After finishing today's business, it was already dark. Li Yi looked at the untouched food beside him, considered it for a moment and then said: "Sir, the kitchen made chestnut cake, and the cook happened to be from Jiangnan. I was thinking of the princess."

If you don't like chestnut cake the most, why don't you bring some to the princess?"

Pei Ji frowned and said, "Talk too much."

Li Yi understood that his master was relenting, so he said again: "Sir, don't blame me for talking too much. This girl likes gentle men, and the princess is no exception."

Pei Ji got angry at the little girl today. He thought about it carefully. Gu Yanyi was responsible for this matter. He broke in for no reason. It was right for the little girl to panic.

He simply stood up and said, "Take the chestnut cake and follow me to Yong'an Lane."

Li Yi responded repeatedly. Fortunately, he had the foresight not to throw away the rouge.

It was already the time to enter meditation, and most of the maids in the mansion had already taken a rest. The servant who was keeping watch wanted to go in and report, but Pei Ji raised his hand to stop him.

He looked at the candlelight spilling out of the crack in the door, and for the first time he felt like he was home. This was the home that belonged to him and Zhuzhu.

He wanted to open the door and enter, but the little girl's soft tone came from the house, but there was a hint of perseverance.

"Nian Shuang, I will always leave here."

**

Nian Shuang, who rushed back today with her coat, saw her princess crying miserably, her clothes were messy, and the ambiguous red marks on her neck were bright, she immediately became filled with grief.

Her princess has been favored by everyone since she was a child. Now that she is being teased so much, how could she not feel distressed?

In the evening, the master and the servant talked about themselves.

"Girl, have you thought about your future plans? You can't always be..."

Speaking of this, Nian Shuang's nose felt sour, and she couldn't say the word "outer room".

Unexpectedly, Wei Yunzhu, who has always been weak, turned out to be extremely calm: "My sister has taught me since I was a child that women need to have integrity and that the capital of the world is themselves, not men."

Her eyes flashed with perseverance: "Nian Shuang, I will always leave here."

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of something falling to the ground outside the door, followed by a "bang", and the door was pushed open with great force.

Pei Ji was like a hungry wolf coming from the dark night. He stared at Wei Yunzhu with his eyes full of coldness: "Wei Yunzhu, you still have to leave me in the end!"

He has always been a complete beggar as before, and she has never looked down upon herself.

He stepped forward suddenly, grabbed the girl's thin wrist, and said with scarlet eyes: "Wei Yunzhu, remember, you are mine, never think of leaving me!"

Nian Shuang, who had been frightened for a long time, had collapsed on the ground. Pei Ji coldly issued an order to expel guests: "Get out!"

Under the dim candlelight, the girl's bewildered face was reflected. She never expected that Pei Ji would suddenly appear.

Her slightly parted lips were trembling: "Master Shouxing, you..."

Pei Ji's calloused fingers gently twisted her chin, and his eyes caught the panic in her eyes.

Wei Yunzhu gradually felt difficulty breathing. She wanted to say something nice to coax him, but she was too afraid to say a complete sentence.

Seeing her little mouth slightly open, about to say something, Pei Ji didn't give her a chance. He touched her back with his palm, and his tall body was instantly enveloped.

The girl was pressed against the red sandalwood table, her slender waist immediately bent into an easy arc, and her porcelain white skin was exposed, slightly cool, causing her to shiver.

Pei Ji's Adam's apple rolled, and he immediately leaned forward and pressed his lips to the girl's delicate lips. His palms moved around her waist. This feeling made the corners of Wei Yunzhu's eyes turn red, and he clenched the knuckles of his clothes tightly, trembling slightly.

The tip of his nose was touching hers, and his tone was dangerous: "Little princess, children who make mistakes must be punished."

The next moment, his fingers explored the complicated dress...

For a long time, Pei Ji smiled frivolously and angrily: "Zhuzhu, please let me let you go..."

"Tell me you will never leave me.

Pei Ji took advantage of the opportunity to kiss the delicate lips and approached again: "Who won't leave?"

The man became more and more stupid, so Wei Yunzhu could only loosen her tightly biting lower lip and whispered: "Pei Ji."

A maid was about to come in and give her a scarf, but she heard the sobbing in the room and immediately stopped.

"Pei Ji, you've had enough!"

The next moment, the girl seemed to have her mouth covered by something.

"Weichen is not a weak scholar. As a marksman of Zhou Dynasty..."

"His!"

But before he finished speaking, the man's muffled sound of pain was heard, followed by the sound of vases falling one after another. The little maid was so frightened that she immediately ran to find Manager Li!

When Li Yi rushed over, he realized something was wrong and knocked on the door: "Sir, sir?"

When there was no response, Li Yi felt upset and opened the door. The scene inside shocked him.

The little princess was tightly wrapped in the adult's cloak, wiping her lips hard while crying.

The situation on the Chief Assistant's side was even worse. He was sweating profusely and panting. His clothes were open and his chest was exposed. His expression was in pain, as if he could bear it to the extreme.

Li Yi also stayed where he was. What on earth did the little princess, such a weak person, do to the strong chief minister to be so seriously injured?

**

After that night, Pei Ji didn't step into Yong'an Lane again for five whole days.

Nian Shuang looked at the sad face of her princess and couldn't help but recall the scene that night.

When she arrived again, the chief assistant had disappeared, only Manager Li was there.

She wanted to ask, but Manager Li just sighed: "Stop asking, go and serve the princess."

Seeing Manager Li sighing, Nian Shuang realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately went to see the princess' condition.

When the princess saw her, she shouted aggrievedly: "Nian Shuang, I want to go home, I never want to see him again!"

The princess must have suffered inhuman bullying, otherwise why would she have hugged her and cried for half the night.

In the past few days, Wei Yunzhu has not thought about food or food. Of course, he is not worried about that bastard, but she feels that this matter is really serious.

Because I didn’t see anyone else for five whole days.

In the past, Pei Ji was pretty good to her, and the servants in this house were also quite polite to her. Although she could see the disdain in their eyes, at least they didn't dare to show it openly.

Nowadays, everyone thinks that she, the outsider, has fallen out of favor, so they all look to other people for food.

Nian Shuang looked at the extinguished charcoal stove and couldn't help but said angrily: "These dogs are so contemptuous of others! They even withheld the gray charcoal."

She turned around, her eyes sore, and hugged the princess, whose lips were purple from the cold: "It's so pitiful for our girl. She has a weak body and has been unable to stand the cold since she was a child. But now she has to suffer so much..."

Seeing this, Wei Yunzhu smiled softly and firmly: "I'm fine, but you, Nian Shuang, I see that your clothes are too thin. I also have a new set of winter clothes over there. You can wear them. Don't get sick from the cold."

Already."

When Nian Shuang heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Their princess was like this, so kind that it made people feel heartbroken.

At this moment, Aunt Zhao walked in, looking arrogant, putting the food down heavily, and hummed in her nostrils: "Eat!"

Nian Shuang looked at the rotten food and reasoned angrily: "What do you mean? Why should I give my girl rotten food!"

Aunt Zhao smiled sarcastically: "Some of them are good to eat, but you are picky and picky. Do you really think you have a golden body and a jade body?"

"Bah! Dreaming, you despicable child!"

How could Nian Shuang be so angry? He immediately stepped forward to teach this ignorant old woman a lesson.

However, Nanny Zhao controlled her backhand and slapped her mercilessly: "Little Hoof, you are as shameless as your master!"

"Shut up, don't talk about my girl!"

At this time, Nian Shuang immediately struggled with Nanny Zhao, but how could she be the old woman's opponent? She was immediately at a disadvantage.

When Wei Yunzhu saw this, he stepped forward anxiously and tried his best to protect Nian Shuang. He was beaten several times and staggered until he almost fell down.

Nian Shuang hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"

Wei Yunzhu shook his head and smiled palely at her, but Nian Shuang cried uncontrollably because of her heartache.

Looking at her sick look, Aunt Zhao didn't want to make the matter a big deal. After all, with the way she looked now, she might die of hunger if she stayed hungry for a few days. She didn't want to get involved in such a thing.

Then he smiled proudly at the master and servant: "You must remember today's lesson!"

Halfway through leaving, she was still happily thinking about how she would stuff her niece into the chief minister's room when the woman died.
