The scumbag married another man. After rebirth, I will no longer be the mistress of a high-class fam

Qiu Baiwei nodded and said no more.

Mrs. Qin comforted her a few more words and then left.

As soon as Qin moved forward, Qiu Baiwei's confidant maid came over.

"Third lady."

Qiu Baiwei was stunned, turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

The maid whispered: "I received a letter from the Qiu family this morning, asking you that the Qin family has come to pay the ransom. What should you do? Should you continue to hold it or return it to them?"

Qiu Baiwei pursed her lips.

After a while, he said: "Give it back to them, and tell my brother that you don't have to target the Qin family anymore."

"Yes."

The maid left respectfully.

And this time, the other side.

Song Anning turned a few corners and finally saw Pei Qingyan at the door of a servant's room.

She quickly ran over and shouted: "Pei Heng!"

She heard the other person introduce himself before, so the name he mentioned was correct, right?

Pei Qingyan looked back and saw her, and stopped when he was about to open the door.

"Young lady."

He saluted respectfully.

Song Anning was furious when she saw his look.

She looked around to make sure there was no one around, then opened the door and pulled Pei Qingyan into the room.

There is no one in the room.

The servant's room is no better than the wing room or the small courtyard where the master lives. All the people sleeping here are large bunks. Once you enter, you will see a simple screen. Behind the screen is a row of simple earthen Kangs, with various piles of various things piled on them. Kind of messy quilts, clothes and other items.

Song Anning didn't look carefully. After pulling him in, she lowered her voice and said angrily: "Why do you want to stay?"

Pei Qingyan blinked.

"Didn't the eldest lady ask me to stay? Why did you come to question me?"

His attitude made Song Anning very angry.

Song Anning laughed angrily.

"She asked you to stay and you stayed? Pei Heng, stop playing rogue with me here. Don't you know who you are? Have you thought about the consequences of staying? It doesn't matter if you are not afraid of death. , but don’t hurt others, you want everyone in the Jiang family to be buried with me?!"

Her anger made Pei Qingyan calm down.

He looked at her calmly, perhaps because his eyes were so focused that Song Anning was stunned and even forgot to be angry.

After a moment, I suddenly heard him say seriously: "Don't worry, I won't bring trouble to the Pei family, let alone let anyone be buried with me."

Song Anning sneered disdainfully.

"You think I'll believe it?"

"You can't help it if you don't believe it. After all, besides trusting me, do you have any other option now?"

Song Anning choked.

I heard Pei Qingyan say: "The eldest lady already knew my existence and asked me to come to her courtyard. If I suddenly disappeared at this time, do you think she would find it strange? Would she feel strange?" Go investigate me and find out that you and I have known each other for a long time, and even that you rescued me at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain that night? This is just following the clue..."

"Enough, stop talking!"

He didn't need to open his mouth anymore, Song Anning already knew what he was going to say.

She had known he was trouble, but she never thought he would be so troublesome.

Song Anning's head felt dizzy.

Pei Qingyan smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I said I won't harm you, and I will never harm you. You have to believe my words."

Song Anning smiled softly.

"If I trust you, I might as well trust a pig."

After saying that, he left angrily.

After taking two steps, he felt unconvinced and turned around and said fiercely: "I only give you half a month. In half a month, you must find a way to leave on your own! I don't care whether you are running away or want to be alone. Everything is fine, but you are not allowed to stay in the Jiang family! You are not allowed to be noticed by others, otherwise, I will personally go to the Embroidery Department to report you! Haha, at worst, I will say that I was deceived by the threats of the bad guys and did not know that you were Yong. You rebel, I believe the adults in the Embroidery Department will believe my innocence and personally take you to jail!"

Pei Qingyan: "..."

He didn't know what to say.

The look he looked at Song Anning even contained a hint of pity.

Song Anning was stunned by his eyes, and she just thought that he had listened to her words, so she didn't say anything more, snorted heavily, and turned around to leave.

Outside the door, Holly supported her.

"Miss……"

"Go back to the house."

"Yes……"

Late at night, Embroidery Department.

Jiang Rongsheng sat on the cold haystack, his eyes empty.

Pei Qingyan appeared in front of him wearing a mask.

When the candlelight in front of him was covered by a shadow, Jiang Rongsheng's eyes that were out of focus due to torture finally came back to reality and looked up at him.

"Pei, Mr. Pei."

Jiang Rongsheng's eyes gathered a glimmer of hope, and he crawled over.

His hands, stained with blood, clung to the bars of the cell.

"Master Pei, I was wronged. I really did not collude with King Yong. Please let me go. As long as you are willing to let me go, I can do whatever you want. I beg you."

After saying that, she kept kowtowing to him.

Pei Qingyan's face had no expression.

He looked down at Jiang Rongsheng and asked the subordinate behind him, "Is it true that it can't be pried out?"

The subordinate whispered: "It can't be pried out. In order to avoid suffering, he even told which restaurant he dined at on what day and how much money he embezzled. But he couldn't tell a word about King Yong. So, The opinions of my subordinates..."

The subordinates looked embarrassed.

Pei Qingyan said: "Tell me."

"Yes." The man was stunned and said quickly: "My subordinates think that he is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If he really committed such a thing, he would not be able to survive until now, and there is no way to pry him out... There is a high probability that he really didn't. Do."

Pei Qingyan's eyes deepened.

King Yong rebelled, and his Majesty ordered him to investigate the matter thoroughly. The original words were that he would rather kill by mistake than let go.

Therefore, Pei Qingyan truly held the power of life and death in his hands.

However, he did not kill Jiang Rongsheng.

After thinking for a while, he took out an iron lead and showed it in front of Jiang Rongsheng.

"Do you recognize this?"

Jiang Rongsheng raised his head in fear. When he saw the iron lead, his frightened eyes turned into doubt and confusion.

"This, isn't this our dynasty's Tie Yin? Although Xiaguan is dull, he has been an official for many years, and Tie Yin still recognizes him."

Pei Qingyan asked: "King Yong rebelled, and the weapons made by his men came from Jizhou, and the iron from Jizhou came from your Jiang Mansion. Do you know this?"

Jiang Rongsheng's eyes widened in shock.

Face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible? Although Xiaguan and Xiaguan are appointed as magistrates of the state, the salt and iron affairs in Jizhou have always been managed by a special salt and iron guide. Xiaguan only occasionally takes the time to inspect and never asks too many questions, because Xiaguan I know that although Xiaguan has the responsibility of supervising the Salt and Iron Department, in fact the Salt and Iron Department is directly under the management of the Central Salt and Iron Bureau and has nothing to do with Xiaguan, so Xiaguan is not concerned about this matter. This, how could this be spread from the lower government officials?"
