After rebirth, I became a national teacher

"It is truly compassionate to use such a large sum of money to establish a Salesian Church!"

The chief steward of the Marquis's Mansion was so angry when he heard these words.

But I can't refute it.

It is said that the Marquis' Mansion does not have that much money, and the five thousand taels were all pieced together?

Not only would that bring down the prestige of the Marquisate, but the common people would simply not believe it.

Moreover, after saying this, the masters of the Marquis' Mansion will be criticized whenever they buy something good in the future.

Who the hell is this faceless master? He is so cunning.

She received so much money and gained fame, but she still refused to let the Marquis of Jingnan get some benefits!

How is he going to report to the Marquis when he returns?

Seeing that staying here would bring no benefits and would be criticized and cursed by the people, the butler left the silver and ran away in shame.

When he returned, he had no choice but to report to Marquis Jingnan.

At this time, Pei Xiao was practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts field in the mansion.

He is a self-disciplined person. Even when he is busy with official duties, he will spare at least half an hour every day to practice martial arts to strengthen his body and maintain his combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

Pei Xiao, whose uniform was already soaked with sweat, took the water bag from the servant and drank a sip. He then asked casually:

"How is the silver?"

He just asked casually. Could there be any trouble if he gave money as a gift?

The reputation of Marquis Jingnan is not that worthless.

However, after hearing the butler's answer, Pei Xiao's face was overcast.

The face of Marquis Jingnan was not only worthless in the Cihang Temple, but their faces were simply thrown on the ground and stepped on again and again!

He was a first-rank marquis who condescended to offer a Taoist temple ten times the amount of silver to apologize, but he was still rejected in public.

It would have been fine if they didn't take the money, but they took the money and even stepped on the Jingnan Marquis Mansion!

"Damn the thief!"

He roared and chopped off the wooden stakes used for training in the martial arts field with one blow.

The butler was startled.

"Master Hou, calm down!"

Pei Xiao gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, trying to calm himself.

Literati and scholars all pay attention to cultivating their character, and those in high positions like Pei Xiao also pay attention to not showing their emotions on their faces.

After a while, he calmed down and said coldly:

"If you don't do your job well, you will be punished with twenty strokes of the stick."

"Also, send someone to Cihang Temple to find out who is behind this Taoist temple."

Once he finds the person behind this, even if it costs a high price, he will make that person hand over Cihang Temple to him for disposal.

Otherwise, his dignified marquisate would be repeatedly offended by a mere Taoist temple, and he hadn't taken any action. If this continued, where would his dignity remain?

"Yes!"

The butler had a bitter face and left after receiving the order.

However, after the people who followed the steward of the Marquis' Mansion to the mountain to watch the excitement returned to the city, the news that the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion sent someone to give 5,000 taels of silver to Cihang Temple as compensation spread in the city.

No one cares how generous the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion is.

Many people even secretly speculated that the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion had hit a wall this time, so they offered so much silver as compensation.

Otherwise, if an ordinary family is harmed by such powerful people, you will see whether they will compensate or not.

Upon hearing that Cihang Temple would use all the money to open a Salesian Hall to shelter homeless orphans, people began to praise the temple for its benevolence and righteousness.

This matter was soon learned by Zeng's servants who were out shopping, and was passed back home as an interesting story.

Nanny Cuiyu heard the other maids gossiping and immediately came to report to Old Madam Zeng.

When Mrs. Zeng heard this, her mind suddenly became active.

Previously, she saw that Cihang Temple and Jingnan Marquis Mansion were in a lawsuit. Although she had made up her mind to stay away from Jingnan Marquis Mansion, she did not dare to go to Cihang Temple to show her courtesy at this critical juncture.

Now, seeing that Marquis Jingnan actually chose to pay Cihang Temple ten times the amount of silver as compensation, and that Cihang Temple dared to offend the other party, she felt relieved.
