“You, you………..” The Pei clan leader madam shook all over.

“You what? Did this wangfei say something wrong? The Pei clan degrading you, you’re completely indifferent, and stepping on you, never mind not resisting, you even have your waist bent even lower, telling others they can step on some more. If this isn’t being lowly, then what is?”

The Pei clan leader madam not having status, it was also just in the Pei clan main residence. As opposed to the Pei clan leader, while outside, she similarly was high and above, honorable and dignified. After all, the Pei clan leader was also someone that extremely liked having face. He can treat his own family however he wants, but outsiders absolutely were not allowed to. As such, the Pei clan leader madam, in her entire life, has never been pointed at the nose and cursed at like this before. As one can well imagine, just how humiliated she felt inside, and also how furious, violently gasping for breath, her chest clearly rising and falling.

“Wangye, take a good look. This is precisely the wangfei you pamper and shield, this disrespectful towards her senior and elder.”

Li Hong Yuan stood behind Jing Wan, reaching out to hold her waist and having her moved to the side, “What senior, what elder? In terms of seniority, she’s a qin-wangfei, while you’re nothing more than a commoner. As for elder, consort mother had gotten expelled from the clan, so has no relation with the Pei clan whatsoever. What kind of elder do you count as? I already said, the entire Pei clan can’t even compare with a single strand of hair on this prince’s wangfei, and naturally including you as well.” Li Hong Yuan turned to look at Jing Wan, “See, this is precisely the person you let save. This kind of person, what use is there keeping alive, it’s cleaner to just die.”

The Pei clan leader madam once again rolled up her eyes and lost consciousness.

The Pei clan leader madam, this kind of person, to say she was pitiful, yet she similarly had quite a few hateful areas. In the end, it was still being ruined by the ‘three obedience and four virtue’ upbringing. Especially for people like her, in Jing Wan’s view, it was practically just having been poisoned. Earlier, she was considering for the sake of Li Hong Yuan’s reputation, but now, if she dies, so be it. At worst, she’ll just shoulder it for him.

What the situation was, everyone could clearly see. Pei Xiu Ying had gotten said to be that unbearable by Li Hong Yuan, yet right now, she didn’t dare to open her mouth either. Speaking of which, for the Pei clan leader madam to dare ‘add oil to the fire’, it was nothing more than relying on her status as an elder. Even if Li Hong Yuan didn’t acknowledge, in her heart, she still considered herself as his maternal grandmother, else how could she be like this.

If there was the need for Li Hong Yuan to say ‘see out the guest’ again, then the people below also don’t need their lives anymore.

With this side seeing out the guest, the Pei clan’s young ladies naturally didn’t dare to say anything either. Because they didn’t have servants following by their side, they could only support the old madam on their own. And Pei Xiu Ying was thus genuinely pushed to one side, simply not letting her approach in the slightest. Never mind the twin sisters, even the other three didn’t give her a good face either. So what if she was favored, still nothing more than a pawn cultivated by their grandfather, and can’t even give birth to children anymore. If it gets out, who would still marry such a hen that can’t lay eggs.

Besides, Jin Qinwang wants to deal with the Pei clan. That one hundred person share of anti-aging pill, others aside, the twin sisters certainly will have a share, and all of this was caused by Pei Xiu Ying. If from the start, when grandmother started feeling unwell, they had just left, and not give some gift, then naturally there won’t be the later matters. All the disaster all started because of her.

“Pei Xiu Ying, you disaster demon, bearer of misfortune, get lost!”

Pei Xiu Ying blankly stood in the same spot, watching them strenuously half carrying, half lifting her great-grandmother, while staggering along. For a moment, she actually didn’t know what path she should take. Her mind was also buzzing, confused and helpless, not knowing why things would end up like this currently.

Min Yu Han actually walked out at this time and stood before Pei Xiu Ying, “Know what ‘the heart higher than the heavens, the life thinner than paper’ means?”

Pei Xiu Ying’s lips trembled, and her tears suddenly fell, “Min family great-uncle………”

Min Yu Han waved his hand, “You should go. By the time wangye’s bodyguards, have you thrown out, you probably don’t need to do anything anymore, and either directly end yourself, or directly cut your hair and go become a nun.” The Pei clan leader madam perhaps was both pitiful and hateful, but Pei Xiu Ying didn’t even have any pitiful areas.

Pei Xiu Ying opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t say anything, curtsying, “Xiu Ying will take one’s leave.” With great bearing, in addition to the beauty holding tears, she seemingly was increasingly lovable and moving, arousing one’s tender feelings.

Once Pei Xiu Ying’s figure disappeared, Li Hong Yuan looked to Min Yu Han, coldly sneering, “This is instantly having you viewed as the escape route. Didn’t you previously propose marriage? If you go again now, she will immediately agree to you.”

“To have let wangye see something shameful. As the saying goes, ‘the beauty is like snakes and scorpions’. This commoner does not have the fortune to enjoy.”

Li Hong Yuan sneered, no longer bothering with him, taking Jing Wan to leave.

He’d just walked a few steps when he saw that jade pendant, “Have the jade pendant and the anti-aging pill prescription properly stored away.”

After returning to the rear court, “The anti-aging pill although hinder having children, but for women that no longer need to give birth to children, or perhaps can’t give birth to children, they will probably very much like, so leaving it isn’t that strange. But what about that jade pendant, it’s not just the design being special, that simple, right?” Jing Wan asked.

“Naturally so.” Li Hong Yuan waved his hand at Gong mama who was holding the case, and shortly after took out the jade pendant, “This kind of dragon and phoenix design jade pendant, this prince has once seen before. Moreover, it was three that looked exactly the same. That thing was a remnant of the previous dynasty’s imperial court, and where it was placed was somewhat particular. Even the Great Ancestor Emperor had sent people to study those three jade pendants, but didn’t get results. In the end, it got sealed away, placed in the Emperor’s private treasury. When I was ten some years old, there was a time I’d gotten rewarded, so I went to the inner treasury to pick something on my own, having the three jade pendants dug out. When I was still in the palace, I’d read quite a few books from the imperial family library. You should know, inside, there will inevitably be some secrets not known by outsiders, and moreover, hidden in several different books. I discovered some things that can be linked together. It’s very interesting.”

“Related to the jade pendant?”

“Right. Although some words were not quite clear, but according to my speculation as well as investigation, for the most part, can be certain that prior to the Great Ancestor Emperor taking down the capital, the previous dynasty’s inner treasury, as well as state treasury, had at least half of the money and treasures moved away.”

Jing Wan slightly widened her eyes, “You’re saying, the previous dynasty has lost treasures, and even related to this jade pendant?”
