After rebirth, I became a national teacher

"Even if I want to tell you, I have to wait until the temple master makes me new teeth!"

Within two days of waiting, I heard that the Jingnan Marquis Mansion had done such a disrespectful thing.

Madam Zeng patted her chest, feeling terrified:

"Fortunately I didn't tell anyone, otherwise all my efforts would have been wasted! I'm afraid it would be even worse than the Qin family!"

He called his son again and sternly warned him not to have anything to do with the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion in the future.

Mr. Zeng was a very filial son, so he naturally gave up the idea of ​​currying favor with the Marquis of Jingnan.

At this point, the three devout believers all made a unanimous decision to stay away from the Jingnan Marquis Mansion in the future.

As for telling his family about the temple master's news and treating his eldest son's illness, forget it!

However, the officials and clerks in the Ministry of War were concerned about the scandal surrounding the wife of Marquis Jingnan.

After all, everyone was saying it with certainty, so they had no choice but to believe it.

Everyone sympathizes with the man who is cuckolded.

But at the same time, it is also accompanied by contempt and a sense of superiority.

"Hahaha, who would believe it? The Marquis of Jingnan looks tall and majestic, and he looks decent, but his wife actually cheated on him!"

"After all, he's not at home all year round, so it's inevitable!"

"It's not that long actually. The Marquis's Mansion and the military camp are not far away. I can still go back in a few days."

"But he is old after all. I heard that the wife of Marquis Jingnan is very charming. How can he handle it?"

Everyone showed an understanding expression.

There is no other explanation except that it doesn't work.

Otherwise, how could he not be able to keep his wife.

Pei Xiao, at the very moment when the rumor was spreading most fervently, led his troops back to the garrison camp from the county town where he was patrolling.

He has always been a person who pays great attention to his official reputation and would never be as greedy for enjoyment as those people with connections.

When he returned from patrol, he would first make sure to settle the soldiers and then immediately go to the Ministry of War to report on his work.

As for going back home to rest, that was the last thing on the list.

Therefore, as soon as Pei Xiao stepped into the Ministry of War today, he was greeted by everyone's strange gazes.

He felt as if someone was always looking at him today, but when he looked back, those people were all busy with their own things, as if everything was just his illusion.

After reporting to the Ministry of War and handing in his military token, he was about to leave when Minister Qian of the Ministry of War stopped him.

With a strange smile, he said to him meaningfully:

"Captain Pei, cultivate yourself, manage your family and bring peace to the world. Although official duties are also important, you should not be so busy that you neglect your family!"

Pei Xiao frowned sharply:

"What does Master Qian mean?"

Minister Qian refused to elaborate and just continued to look at him with that strange smile:

"Captain Pei is very lucky, but he needs to work harder to take care of his health!"

Even though Pei Xiao was a first-rank marquis, his actual position was two levels lower than Minister Qian's. If the other party was unwilling to speak, Pei Xiao could not force him.

He could only say goodbye with a cold face and leave the Ministry of War.

Along the way, everyone looked at me strangely.

This time, he listened carefully and tasted pity and ridicule in it.

Pei Xiao's face became increasingly cold, and he exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away.

He had a hunch that something big had happened in the mansion during the few days he was away.

When he returned to the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion, he did not go to the backyard first, but summoned the housekeeper to ask what had happened during his absence.

The housekeeper is Pei Xiao's man, and is his confidant who was left in the mansion to assist Zhang.

But at this moment, when facing Pei Xiao, he was somewhat vague and evasive.

"The night before, He Wang and his companions went to Cihang Temple to set fire and were arrested. They blamed the lady, and she was forced to go to the government office to respond to the lawsuit. Then... then some unpleasant things were spread..."

"What bad words?" Pei Xiao asked. He intuitively felt that this was the key to the matter.

The housekeeper stammered, his eyes wandering, not daring to look him in the face:

"This... this... is... is about Madam... she..."
