My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 218 Nepotism
It was already quite late when Pei Huaizhi came out of the imperial study. Since he still had some things to do in the government office, Pei Huaizhi went straight to the government office.
When it was almost noon, the court officials went to the court to have lunch one after another. There was still a large pile of documents in front of Pei Huaizhi. It was not that Pei Huaizhi was inefficient. In fact, it was the end of the year and the Ministry of Revenue was different from the other five ministries. The Ministry of Revenue became increasingly busy at the end of the year.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money. At the end of the year, all expenses must be counted and separated into accounts, and all need to be calculated before the New Year.
At this time, colleagues saw that Pei Huaizhi was still busy dealing with the documents in front of him, and couldn't help but call Pei Huaizhi to go with them.
The person who came was Gu Huafeng from Duke Gu's Mansion. Gu Huafeng was an old man in the Ministry of Revenue and the son-in-law of the Grand Princess. Although he was above Pei Huaizhi in terms of seniority, he was Pei Huaizhi's subordinate in officialdom.
According to the rules, they should salute Pei Huaizhi, but because of his seniority in the Ministry of Revenue and his status as the Grand Princess's son-in-law, Pei Huaizhi stood up and saluted when he saw the visitor, and Gu Huafeng also obeyed and saluted.
"It's already noon, why don't you, Minister Pei, have lunch with me?" said Gu Huafeng.
The relationship between the two of them in the Ministry of Revenue was quite good. As soon as she finished speaking, she had already pulled Pei Huaizhi's arm, "Even if you are busy with official duties, you still have to eat. Your body is the foundation of everything."
Pei Huaizhi couldn't refuse, so he handed the processed documents to the clerk to file them, then washed his hands and went with Gu Huafeng.
Pei Huaizhi thought that they would go to the court to have dinner together, but Gu Huafeng invited him to go to the tavern across the street, so he changed into his casual clothes again.
On the way, Pei Huaizhi saw that Gu Huafeng was absent-minded all the way, "Sir Gu, is there something bothering you?"
Gu Huafeng sighed.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at a tavern. The waiter was the most observant. Seeing that the two men had extraordinary demeanor, he asked Pei Huaizhi attentively if they had any instructions, while introducing the tavern's menu.
After hearing this, Gu Huafeng told the servant to put up a few signs and warm up a pot of wine.
The guests sat down and waited for the food and wine to arrive.
Gu Huafeng simply poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, as if he was drinking to drown his sorrows.
He has a good background. The Mansion of Duke Gu is different from the Mansion of Pei Palace. The Mansion of Duke Gu has real power in the court.
Moreover, he married the most noble princess of the Great Wei, who is also the only son of Duke Gu. Any one of these identities can ensure Gu Huafeng's future is worry-free. What's more, he is the most powerful royal relative. I don't know how much blessings he must have accumulated in his previous life to have such a good life.
Unfortunately, the water overflows when it is full and the moon wanes when it is full. There is only one thing that is not satisfactory.
It is no secret that Gu Huafeng and the eldest princess have been married for many years but have no children.
Gu Huafeng is the only son in the Duke's Mansion. There is no successor to the Mansion. Duke Gu and his wife are like ants on the hot pan. How can they bear to watch the Mansion become extinct?
However, due to the Grand Princess's status, he was worried that angering her would be detrimental to the entire Duke's Mansion.
After all, the Emperor of Wei doted on his younger sister very much, and the eldest princess was the most beloved child of the current Queen Mother.
The eldest princess's nepotism concerns the lifeblood of the Duke's Mansion and cannot be lost easily.
Therefore, Duke Gu did not dare to put pressure on the Grand Princess, so he had to secretly...
