After rebirth, I became a national teacher

It was already midnight.

Leaving behind Doctor Huang and the famous doctor from the capital, the Marquis's Mansion paid the other doctors generous medical fees and sent a carriage to take them back to the clinic.

For a time, many doctors became more favorable towards the Jingnan Marquis Mansion.

Early the next morning, the wind direction in the city suddenly changed.

Many people are saying that when the wife of Marquis Jingnan learned of the rumors of adultery, she committed suicide by slitting her wrists last night. Her blood was all over the floor and her life was in danger.

Marquis Jingnan was extremely anxious and rushed to invite famous doctors from all over the city to save the patient.

Moreover, Marquis Jingnan did not believe the rumors at all. He even said that the marquis' wife must survive and he would face all the rumors with her.

"She was willing to die to prove her innocence. This shows how chaste the wife of Marquis Jingnan was!"

"Marquis Jingnan is really magnanimous. He still has faith in his wife despite such a thing! This is what a great man does!"

Many women actually envied the wife of Marquis Jingnan.

To be fair, if they encountered such a thing, their husbands would probably beat them half to death and then force them to commit suicide to save the family's reputation.

Lady Jingnan Marquis is so lucky to have met such a good husband.

No one knows how much contribution the group of trusted men sent by Marquis Jingnan made to all this.

Reversing the public opinion situation is not enough to save the reputation of the Jingnan Marquis Mansion.

The Jinyiwei, factory supervisors, and censors in the Southern Capital City all need to be taken care of.

Otherwise, if this matter had become such a big deal and someone reported it to the emperor, it would have brought great trouble to the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion.

For some matters, the government will not investigate unless the people report them.

Things like allowing slaves to hurt people are common among powerful families.

However, government offices generally do not handle such cases, and ordinary people do not have the ability to make a big deal out of it, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.

But once the matter comes to light, the nature of the matter becomes completely different.

Given His Majesty's attitude of frequently suppressing the nobles in recent years, it was difficult for him to guarantee that His Majesty would not take the opportunity to strip Jingnan Marquis of his title.

That is a title that our ancestors obtained with the blood of countless people. It is to be passed down from generation to generation, so how can it be lost?

Even though Pei Xiao had always been arrogant, he had to humble himself and give expensive gifts to the Jinyiwei and factory supervisor whom he hated.

Of course, the Censor was not left out either.

When he returned home, he ordered his butler:

"Tomorrow you will take five thousand taels of silver from the account and send it to Cihang Temple with great fanfare. Tell them that my mansion will compensate Cihang Temple tenfold for its losses as an apology!"

In this way, the people in the city will no longer criticize the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion for allowing slaves to set fire. Instead, they will praise the Marquis' Mansion for being sensible and envy the Cihang Temple for receiving ten times the compensation.

Of course, in addition to restoring the reputation of the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, it was mainly because he had no idea about the details of the Cihang Temple.

Before he knew the other party's strength, he would rather use the five thousand taels to show weakness temporarily.

After the storm has passed and we have figured out where the other party came from, it won’t be too late to take revenge today.

This time, he spent nearly 30,000 taels of silver on the arrangements.

Even though the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion has assets worth millions, many of them are in the form of land, shops, jewelry and antiques, and there is not that much cash.

It is hard not to feel the pain of giving away thirty thousand taels of silver.

Pei Xiao had just returned from patrol and had not had time to rest.

Because of Zhang's injury, he didn't sleep all night, and he also had to deal with the aftermath of the arson case caused by the slave.

After a busy day, I am exhausted both physically and mentally.

When he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think of his original wife.

Although she was a little arrogant, she had never caused him so much trouble.

Even if he was reported to the government, he would be able to handle it with ease and would never be caught by anyone, causing such a big fuss or even being forced to commit suicide to prove his integrity.

After all, Zhang's upbringing was limited and his abilities were inadequate.
