My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 153 Chaos!
Song Shuyun swiftly got off the horse, stretched out his arm to Song Qingcheng and helped her out of the carriage.
The two returned to the general's mansion side by side.
"Manman, how are you since you got married?" Song Shuyun was mostly silent and the most mature and steady one in the General's Mansion, but he was also very fond of his sister and never said a harsh word. Ever since Song Qingcheng got married, he had never stopped worrying about her.
But when she returned to the general's mansion, there were too many people who cared about and loved Song Qingcheng. General Song, his wife, and Song Shuyan were around Song Qingcheng most of the time, and Song Shuyun had not found a chance to talk to her sister alone.
Today, he happened to meet Song Qingcheng. The important thing is that Song Shuyun discovered that the people in the Duke's Mansion did not treat his sister well, which made him even more worried, so he asked.
Hearing this, Song Qingcheng curled her lips. She seemed to be very worried that she would be bullied in the Duke's Mansion.
"Why are you all asking me this question? Big brother, look at my face. Isn't it rounder? Doesn't it look like I'm not doing well?"
Song Qingcheng walked forward a few steps, leaned back, and held her face with her white hands. She walked backwards while letting Song Shuyun see her face.
Looking at the quirky Song Qingcheng, Song Shuyun's eyes were filled with smiles, and he patted her head, "Queer and eccentric, walk properly, I think you have lost weight, you must not have eaten well again!"
"Big brother, I'm not getting thinner, I'm getting taller. Look, I'm almost as tall as your shoulders!"
Everyone in the Song family is very tall, and Song Qingcheng is even taller!
"That's why you have to eat well and be careful of leg pain."
"Manman knows."

At the same time, Zhao Jia, the steward of the Duke's Mansion, returned to the mansion, ran to Xie in tears, and said something exaggerated. Xie was so angry that she threw the teacup beside her to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
"How unruly! How could you be so disrespectful to your elders!"
Pei Fan happened to walk in at this time. Seeing this, he frowned. Every time Xie didn't come back, there was no peace. He said with disgust, "Who are you angry with again?" In the past six months, Xie seemed to have gone mad. She would make a scene for no reason every now and then, which really gave him a headache.
Hearing this, Xie sneered: "It's your most ambitious Third Son. Even his wife is so arrogant that she doesn't even respect me, her mother-in-law!"
"Dad, my third brother's wife returned to the capital and moved back to the General's Mansion. Isn't this a disgrace to our Duke's Mansion? I think this General's Mansion is too arrogant. We should report them to the Censorate!"
"And my third brother, he didn't even greet you and mother when he returned to the capital. What do you think our Duke's Mansion is? And my lame leg is all because of him!"
The second master Pei Huaiming limped into Ninghe Hall with the support of others.
Ever since Pei Huaiming pretended to be sick and took refuge in Tatar last time, he was caught by the old man and his leg was completely broken. After the bone was set, he could no longer walk like a normal person and became a complete cripple.
He felt that the reason why he was like this now was entirely thanks to his third brother Pei Huaizhi!
He completely forgot that if Pei Huaizhi had not stepped forward and stood up, he would have lost his life at the hands of the Tatars.
Besides, he was the boss who accidentally broke his leg, so what did it have to do with Pei Huaizhi?
However, everyone in the Duke's Mansion blamed Pei Huaizhi for this mess, and the old man successfully disappeared again.
The entire Ninghe Hall was filled with chaos and confusion.
Pei Fan was completely overwhelmed.
"Shut up, everyone!"
He shouted angrily.
"You've been arguing all day. What does your leg have to do with Huaizhi? If it weren't for Huaizhi, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be alive to speak nonsense here."
"Dad, why are you siding with outsiders?"
"Shut up!"
Pei Fan slammed the table.
"Who is an outsider? Huaizhi is your third brother."
Seeing Pei Fan getting angry, Pei Huaiming said unconvincedly, "You are a brother who didn't grow up together in the mansion. There is no relationship between us. Why should we pretend to be a brother?"
Shen Tanxiang had never expected that her husband's leg could not be healed. Now, because of a disabled leg, he even lost his previous position as an official. Now he spends all his time in brothels and gambling houses. Originally, the second house lived a carefree life because of the dividends from the public treasury and Pei Huaiming's salary.
But now, under Pei Huaiming's extravagant spending, the second house's assets have been emptied. What will happen to the brothers and sisters in the future? I think they will have to rely on their parents-in-law for support in the future. Don't make them angry, so she gently pushed Pei Huaiming and said, "Just say less, we are all family!"
"Snap"
Pei Huaiming slapped Shen Tanxiang hard on the face. "When a man speaks, how can you, a woman, speak like that? Get out!"
Ever since Pei Huaiming became lame in one leg, his temperament changed drastically. He became gloomy and unstable, and would get angry and beat people at any time, but most of the time it would happen in his own yard.
Moreover, there were several times when Shen Tanxiang was almost strangled to death. It was only when her brother and sister hugged one thigh each that Shen Tanxiang was saved.
Shen Tanxiang had thought about divorcing Pei Huaiming countless times, but she couldn't bear to leave her two brothers and sisters who were not even three years old. Moreover, every time Pei Huaiming beat her, he would kneel at her feet and apologize to her after he came to his senses. He would take her hands and beat himself madly, saying that without her, he and his brothers and sisters would jump into the Jingjiang River and ask for her forgiveness.
So Shen Tanxiang couldn't bear it and thought that he would change, so she forgave him again and again.
Now, Pei Huaiming has even gone further and started fighting with her in front of outsiders. He is so shameless. Where can she keep her face?
Shen Tanxiang covered her face, turned around and cried aggrievedly. Naturally, she was ashamed, so she wanted her father-in-law and mother-in-law to give her justice and see how excessive their son was in his daily life.
Unexpectedly, Pei Fan just scolded him a few times, which was inappropriate.
Only grandmother Wang Zhirou was there to comfort Shen Tanxiang.
The entire Ninghe Hall was in a state of great disorder, and it did not look like what a noble family should look like at all.
Xie felt that she had not had a peaceful day since Song Qingcheng entered the Duke's Mansion. She was simply the scourge of the Duke's Mansion. Xie became more and more irritated and scolded the Second Mistress Shen Tanxiang angrily, "Cry, just cry. Huaiming was in a bad mood, so he beat you. Can't you understand this?"
Hearing this, Second Grandma Shen Tanxiang felt even more aggrieved. She covered half of her swollen face and thought to herself, I can’t live like this anymore. What kind of people are these?
Just when everyone was feeling gloomy and depressed.
A servant hurried into Shou'an Hall, shouting in a high voice, "Master, something's wrong with the Madam!"
The servant stumbled in from outside, gasping for air, pointing outside with a trembling hand, and couldn't utter a word for a long time!
Pei Fan stood up and said, everyone in Ning'an Hall also stared at the servant kneeling on the ground.
"You are so flustered, how can you be so indecent!"
Duke Pei Fan scolded angrily.
The servant took a breath and said, "My lord, there is a bully outside the mansion, waving a big flag. Make way, make way..." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the Second Master Pei Huaiming.
Pei Huaiming thought something was wrong, and stood up suddenly. He used his lame leg to kick the servant in the heart, and shouted, "You dog slave, why are you crying here?"
Pei Fan felt that Pei Huaiming was becoming more and more lawless. "Come here, take care of the Second Master for me!"
As soon as these words came out, two guards entered Ninghe Hall and firmly restrained Second Master Pei Huaiming on the chair, unable to move!
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Pei Fan continued to ask.
The servant covered his chest and swallowed the sweet taste in his mouth, "To answer your question, a group of bullies came outside, saying that the second master owed them gambling money, and now they have gathered in the mansion to ask for the money?"
"what!"
Xie was no longer calm and said at the same time, "What!"
Looking at Pei Huaiming, he saw that he was completely deflated, and he knew that this was almost certain, "You evil creature!"
No matter how much Mrs. Xie doted on Pei Huaiming, she couldn't help but feel upset at this moment. She pointed at Pei Huaiming's head and cursed, "You useless thing!" But after all, he was her own son. Seeing the dejected Pei Huaiming, she couldn't bear to blame him too much.
Pei Fan was very disappointed, "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go and clean up the mess? Do you think the Duke's Mansion is shameful enough?" As a Duke of a different surname, Pei Fan always felt inferior in front of the real heroes. From the time Pei Huaizhi made his mark in the court to his promotion to the youngest Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was able to stand up straight as a Duke. So in Pei Fan's eyes, nothing was more important than the dignity of the Duke's Mansion and his own face.
But at this moment, Pei Fan saw that Pei Huaiming was not moving, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
The Second Young Lady, who had been sobbing beside her, stopped crying and covered her eyes with a handkerchief. "The remaining money from the Second House was squandered by him a long time ago. There is no extra money left to send those people away. I think my daughter-in-law will have to trouble my father-in-law and mother-in-law to deal with it."
Pei Huaiming said nothing!
Pei Fan fell backwards on his seat, while Xie looked incredulous.
This involves interests. Pei Huailiang, who had been silent all this time, said in a low voice, "How can this be done!"
"Brother, why can't we do this? We didn't ask for money from the government. My parents are old and don't have much money to spend. What's wrong with helping me out first?"
Pei Huaiming raised his head and said.
"Look, is this what a son should say?"
Pei Fan pointed at Pei Huaiming's nose and roared.
Pei Huaiming was desperate, "I don't have any money, but I have a life. It's a worthless life anyway, so let your parents take care of it~"
"you you you!"
Pei Fan was so angry that he felt dizzy.
Pei Huailiang took over and said, "Don't make things difficult for my parents. Take out one thousand taels from our big house to help my second brother."
Wang Zhirou was unwilling and said awkwardly, "Master, our eldest wife is not well-off either!"
"Madam, please let my second brother use it first. We can be nervous if necessary. This is what I, as the eldest brother, should do."
The couple sang in unison.
"laugh!"
Pei Huaiming sneered, "Then I'll trouble you, big brother, to get it now!"
Pei Huailiang didn't expect that his second brother had completely changed his character. He used to be very concerned about his reputation, so he would definitely not agree to take his money. Unexpectedly, this time his second brother did not refuse.
Pei Huailiang felt pain in his flesh instantly. The eldest young lady Wang Zhirou was also hit and her face turned bad instantly. She glared at Pei Huailiang, as if to say that you are just pretending to be a big shot.
But words spoken are like spilled water.
It was too late to regret, so Pei Huailiang had to bite the bullet and barely maintain his outward appearance of being honest and simple, and ordered the eldest young lady Wang Zhirou to get the silver.
Xie felt more and more that this was an evil creature that Song Qingcheng had brought into the Duke's Mansion, and that she was causing unrest in her life.
After the eldest lady Wang Zhirou got the silver back and returned to Ninghe Hall, she asked the servant who delivered the letter if he knew the accounts of those debt collectors outside, but she said that the one thousand taels would definitely settle the account.
The servant said that he had just rushed to Ninghe Hall to report the news and did not ask clearly.
So Pei Fan sent someone to bring the leaders of the trouble to Shou'an Hall for negotiations. After a quarter of an hour, the servant came back alone and reported that the head of the gambling house threatened that it was not easy to get in or out of the Pei Guogong Mansion, which was a large and noble mansion. What if the Pei Guogong Mansion took advantage of its power to bully others and destroy the evidence? He shouted to the boss to go out for negotiations, otherwise the incident would be known to everyone in the capital.
Pei Fan asked Pei Huaiming to take the silver and send the people away.
But Pei Huaiming said that his hands and feet were inconvenient.
So the Duke, who was already at the age of fifty, had to clean up the mess for his son, and Pei Fan had no choice but to take his uncle Pei Huailiang out of the house.
Dozens of people gathered outside the mansion, shouting and swearing, which attracted many curious people to gather around and watch the fun.
Pei Fan's face darkened and he ordered people to disperse those troublemakers.
The head of the gambling house, seeing a richly dressed gentleman coming, guessed that the man was an old official from the government.
"Master, your second master has owed money to our gambling house for more than a month. Do you think he can refuse to pay?"
"How dare you! How could my Duke's Mansion owe you that little money? Do you have proof? If not, I will definitely sue you for extortion!"
Even though the Duke has no real power, he does have the air of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
The people in the gambling house were actually frightened for a moment.
It took him a moment to react, holding up the account with signatures and red handprints in his hand, and said, "It's written in black and white, and the Duke's Mansion wants to bully others and take advantage of the weak?!"
"Whether it is true or not, please show it to me!"
The Duke winked at the servant beside him, and the servant walked to the head of the gambling house and wanted to take the accounts.
"That won't do. Please move over to my side, sir!"
"you!"
Pei Huailiang scolded angrily.
But the gambling house boss remained unmoved.
In order to deal with this group of people as quickly as possible, Pei Fan didn't want to get entangled with them, so Pei Fan had to go down the stairs, walked to the head of the gambling house, blinked, and looked at the signed account.
You wouldn't know it until you see it. Once you see it, Duke Pei Fan is so exhausted that he is about to fall down!
"Father!"
