I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 862 A good show.

"Husband?"

Pei pretended to be calm, put away the gold ingots without making a sound, and looked at Pei Qian.

"Blood agate? Is it very valuable?"

"Valuable?" Pei Qian was stunned. He had never thought of measuring this thing with money. He hesitated for a while and said,

"Very valuable. Quite valuable."

Pei's breathing quickened for a moment. She snatched the blood agate, examined it carefully, and said cautiously,

"It is indeed very beautiful, my husband. If this were exchanged for silver..."

"About two hundred thousand taels." Pei Qian frowned and thought for a moment, then stared at Pei.

“You want to sell it!”

"Such a precious thing must have been left behind by my benefactor accidentally. No, I have to return it!"

Pei Qian pretended to take the blood agate back.

Pei leaned to one side, protecting the thing tightly, glaring at Pei Qian with gritted teeth.

"What are you returning? This is what our benefactor left for us. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaozhuang!"

Now, Pei’s mind is full of the two hundred thousand taels.

Even if the king of heaven comes today, he can't ask her to hand over the things.

"Give it to me!" Pei Qian knew the weight of this thing very well, and he shouted angrily.

"Do you know what this thing represents?"

Such a piece of blood agate is enough to push an ordinary person to the level of the second level of the outer family in just two years.

This is not something that can be measured in money.

Over the years, there are less than ten pieces of blood agate discovered in the entire Jiangzhou, let alone such a huge piece.

Pei was also aware of her husband's temperament. After a slight hesitation, she looked aggrieved and stuffed the blood agate into Pei Zhuang's hand, pursing her lips and said resentfully,

"What does it mean? It means that the young master likes our little Zhuang. This, this is the betrothal gift."

"Am I right."

"Ah?" Pei Zhuang was somewhat at a loss for words. He stared blankly at the blood agate in his hand and stammered,

"I, I don't know, I, I..."

"Tell your sister-in-law what your benefactor said to you during dinner."

Pei pulled Pei Zhuang over and gently squeezed the palm of her hand.

Pei Zhuang was stunned, feeling a little bewildered and shy, and hesitant, not knowing how to start the conversation.

Seeing this, Pei became more confident. She was not afraid that Pei Zhuang would not cooperate. She had met many men, and a playboy like Li Mu would definitely speak without restraint.

As long as Pei Zhuang opened her mouth, she could say something was black even if it was white.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaozhuang. Your sister-in-law will take care of it for you. Just tell the truth."

Pei was patient and persuasive. As early as the first day Li Mu was sent here, she saw through her sister's thoughts.

Seeing Li Mu's appearance, her legs went weak at the sight of him, let alone a young girl like Pei Zhuang who was just beginning to fall in love.

"My benefactor, my benefactor said...my benefactor asked me to warm his bed at night."

Pei Zhuang was not stupid. She knew that her sister-in-law was using her, but she was unwilling to break off her entanglement with Li Mu. So she simply closed her eyes and shouted loudly.

Pei was confused. She guessed that there would be some ambiguity, but she didn't expect it to be so direct.

But she actually knew better that Li Mu was powerful in words, but deep down he was just like her husband, a man with the heart of a thief but no courage.

During the day, she was almost naked in front of Li Mu, and the little man did nothing except steal a few glances at her.

She looked at Pei Qian proudly, "You heard it..."

"Nonsense!" However, Pei Qian roared angrily, his hand pointing at Pei Zhuang trembled slightly, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Do you know who the Taoist who sent him here is?"

"The leader of the human sect!"

"Can we afford to provoke such a person?"

"How many times have I told you not to think about things you shouldn't covet? You ignored my words!"

Pei was very unconvinced and stood up and yelled at Pei Qian,

"What do you mean you shouldn't covet it?"

"My sister is beautiful and well-known in Baidi City. It is a blessing for us to be favored by the benefactor. Do we have to be as useless as you and make a living repairing carriages for others for the rest of our lives?"

"Mr. Pei, I've been married to you for so many years, but I don't even have a decent piece of clothing. Do you want Xiaozhuang to live like this?"

"I should have followed that Mr. Xiong..."

"Snapped!"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Qian slapped Pei in the face.

"You still dare to say that the Taoist leader gave you money to hire a doctor. Half a month has passed, and where is the doctor you hired?"

"You, you dare to hit me, hit me, hit me, this belly is your Pei family's flesh and blood, hit me!"

Pei Shi was a little bit unbelievable, and rushed forward to fight with Pei Qian.

"If it weren't for you, this coward, how could this old lady have almost been defiled today? You said you would protect me, and this is how you protect me!"

"Get lost!" Pei Qian pushed Pei to the ground impatiently, pointing at her with red eyes and cursing.

"You bitch, tell me why those three people came to my house!"

Hearing this, Pei's eyes flashed with panic, and she gritted her teeth and shouted,

"How would I know? Don't, someone else coveted your wife, and you, you didn't help me, but you blame me instead?"

Pei Qian saw that she was still stubborn and was not going to give her face anymore, so he said,

"Those three people are your regular customers at Piaoxiangyuan. Do you really think I don't know?"

"The Pei clan members were only exiled to the north, not expelled from the Mohist school!"

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the house.

Pei Zhuang looked at her gentle and elegant sister-in-law in disbelief.

I couldn’t imagine what connection she had with the brothels in the city.

"No, no, husband, it's not what you think. Listen to my explanation. I have nothing to do with them anymore..."

Pei was really panicking now. She knelt down and crawled to Pei Qian's feet, begging,

"Yes, it was him. They forced me. If I didn't agree, they would do it to Xiaozhuang. I did it all for Xiaozhuang, my husband!"

"That's enough!" Pei Qian kicked Pei away, leaned over and grabbed her hair and asked,

"Then tell me where did all those gold and silver jewelry you hid under the stove come from?"

"Why do you teach Xiaozhuang about men and women?"

"You're not after the makeup, you just haven't found the right buyer!"

Pei stared at the man in front of her, unable to believe that these words came from the mouth of her honest and cowardly husband.

She stiffened her neck and asked sharply,

"Since you know all this, why did you let those three people harass me!"

"Heh." Pei Qian sneered, raised his hand and patted Pei's well-maintained face, and said sinisterly,

"Do you think that without my tacit consent, anyone would dare to break into my Pei Qian's home?"

"You really should thank him. You don't deserve to be called a benefactor."

"Why! I, even if I do, even if I do... it's all for this family, for you! If it weren't for me, our family of three would have starved to death long ago!"

Pei was hysterical and tried to make a final struggle. She saw murderous intent in Pei Qian's eyes.

Pei Qian threw the woman to the ground, walked to Pei Zhuang, patted her head, and said in a light tone,

"Do you still remember what my elder brother told you about why Pei was exiled to Jiangzhou?"
