The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 783: Lady Jiang is direct

Inside the carriage, Jiang Suining looked at Pei Zhaozhi who had come out, and said to Lu Yan beside him, "It seems like we don't need to persuade him anymore."

When the guests left just now, Pei Zhaozhi stayed behind, and they knew that he must have noticed something wrong and wanted to question Zhong Yixiu.

So she and A Yan stayed at the gate of the mansion. If Pei Zhaozhi insisted on intervening in this matter, they could still persuade him.

But now it seems that it was Zhong Yixiu who persuaded Pei Zhaozhi.

Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Lord Pei did not pursue the matter further, but I thought that given Lord Pei's personality, he would definitely make a big fuss about this matter."

After all, whether the other party is in the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple, they are well-known for their rigorous and serious handling of cases.

"Pei Zhaozhi is not someone who doesn't know how to adapt. Strictly speaking, this is not a case, after all, no one has reported it."

"That's true. But since Lord Pei has already discovered it, Zhong Yixiu shouldn't do anything to her father again." Lu Yan said after thinking.

If he hadn't gotten the guarantee, Pei Zhaozhi probably wouldn't have let it go.

Jiang Suining thought about it in his heart, and did not respond to Lu Yan's guess, but just took a deep look at the gate of Zhong's family.

Zhong Yixiu has already come to this point, so it is impossible for her to stop just like that.

In Zhong Mansion.

As soon as Zhong Yixiu walked into Zhong Xingyun's yard, Zhong's mother hurried to greet her.

"Yixue, what's going on with that Minister Pei..."

"He has already left, and he said that as long as we don't do anything about it later, he won't pursue the matter."

"That's good, that's good!" Zhong's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really scared just now.

Especially when Yixue said that Pei Zhaozhi did not leave immediately because he wanted to investigate the matter, her heart almost jumped out. She even thought about letting Yixue push everything onto herself.

However, Yi Xue said that things had not reached the final step yet and insisted that she go to see Pei Zhaozhi alone first.

Fortunately, the result was exactly as Yixue said.

"Yixue, since this matter has been discovered, we can't do anything to your father anymore. When he wakes up, we will talk to him properly. If we can beg..."

"Mother, things have come to this point. Do you think he will let us go?" Zhong Yixiu interrupted her mother with a sneer in her eyes.

"Yixue, what do you mean?"

"Now we can only make sure he can no longer be a threat to us."

She was indecisive and not ruthless enough before, which led to what happened today. Such things must never happen again.

"Yixue, didn't Minister Pei say that if we do it again, he will find out. What will we do if he gets drunk?"

"As long as there is no evidence, there is naturally no way to investigate." Zhong Yixue looked at her mother, "Father suffered a blow and was drunk all day, so it's not surprising that he had a stroke."

As long as my father can't speak again and no one sues or accuses him of anything, this matter will naturally not become a big deal.

"Stroke..." Mother Zhong thought quickly in her heart, "This, this is a good idea, but why did he suddenly have a stroke when he was fine?"

"Don't worry about that, mother. I will naturally find a way." Zhong Yixiu's eyes were calm, without any of the fragility and helplessness she had just shown.

Zhong's mother looked at her daughter in silence. After a long while, she sighed softly.

"Yixue, if only you had not been born in the Zhong family, you wouldn't have to reach this point step by step."

"Mother, compared to those girls who were born in poor families and can't even read and write, I'm lucky enough." Zhong Yixue said calmly, "At least, I still have a choice."

What happened at Zhong Yixiu's wedding did lead to some rumors and discussions.

However, the Zhong family is no longer the official family it once was, and there is much less attention paid to them.

Therefore, those rumors were just discussed in a small circle and did not cause any disturbance.

It calmed down within two days.

At the Women's Academy, Jiang Suining was on a day off today. When she went there, as expected, she saw Prince Su again.

In the past few days, he has become a "regular visitor" to the girls' college.

However, every time he came here, he just looked around or asked a few questions casually. It seemed like he had nothing to do in the imperial city and came here to kill some time.

But today, when Jiang Suining met Prince Su, he found that some of them were useless.

"What is this, Your Highness?" Jiang Suining looked puzzled as he looked at the compass and other items in Prince Su's hands.

"I have carefully checked it out these past few days and found that the location of this women's academy is really good, so I plan to set aside a separate place in the academy for alchemy." Prince Su spoke while staring at the compass in his hand to explore.

Jiang Suining frowned.

What Prince Su did was really strange.

One moment he is building up momentum for the Women's Academy, and the next moment he is refining elixirs in the academy?

Does he have some purpose, or is all this just a deliberate attempt to confuse people so that they can't see his true intentions?

After not hearing Jiang Suining speak for a long time, Prince Su turned his head and looked at her.

"Looking at Lady Jiang's expression, it seems that she is very dissatisfied with this decision of the king."

"Indeed." Jiang Suining nodded.

Prince Su was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Lady Jiang is quite direct."

"Since Your Highness has asked, I dare not lie. This is a girls' academy after all. It would be inappropriate for Your Highness to make the elixir here." Jiang Suining looked at Prince Su and spoke directly.

"It is not your turn to decide whether it is appropriate or not. I will naturally report this matter to the emperor. If the emperor agrees, you will have no right to object." Prince Su retracted his gaze and did not take Jiang Suining's objection to heart at all.

He put away the compass and looked at Jiang Suining again before leaving.

"Madam Jiang, you must remember that although I have not been in the imperial city for a long time, I am still the emperor's uncle after all. Whatever I want to do, not only you, but even your husband, can't stop me."

"Yes, I remember this. I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."

After watching Prince Su leave, Jiang Suining called the academy's manager and asked him in detail about Prince Su's situation in the academy over the past few days.

The result was the same as she knew. Except for today, they were just strolling and chatting. There was nothing special about it. Even the content of the chat was normal.

When the steward learned about Prince Su's sudden proposal to refine elixirs in the Girls' Academy, he was confused and surprised.

"How can a good academy get involved in alchemy? What on earth is Prince Su thinking?"

Jiang Suining didn't say anything.

She also wanted to know what Prince Su was thinking.
