Chapter 111 - Annoying Pei Qian

“Why are you talking about this?” Gao Xuwei was furious as he glared at Pei Qian. His mind was preoccupied with the fact that Shun Yi had been beaten up by Pei Qian’s men. He couldn’t care less about the Wolf Guards!

Shun Yi was his most capable servant and the one who had followed him the longest! Pei Qian had attacked his people without any regard for him. How could he tolerate this?!

This was a slap in the face!

Wasn’t this more important than the Wolf Guards?!

“Uncle, you came in a hurry this time. With the pregnancy incident, I didn’t have the chance to tell you that there were actually spies from the northern barbarians in our camp.”

It’s a Wolf Guard who’s very good at disguising himself!”

Of course, Pei Qian knew what Gao Xuwei was angry about. However, it was precisely because he knew that he looked even more calm and indifferent.

“What does this have to do with you taking Shun Yi away? Don’t you know that Shun Yi is my most capable servant?!”

Gao Xuwei snorted. Shun Yi was a spy? Wasn’t this a joke?!

“Uncle, I’ve already said that the enemy’s Wolf Guards are proficient in disguise!”

Pei Qian hid the disdain in his eyes and tried his best to act normal.

“Shun Yi seems very suspicious, so for your safety, I asked Qian He to take him away for questioning!

“If nothing happens, they’ll release him soon. Don’t worry, Uncle.”

It would have been better if Pei Qian hadn’t said that. Now that he did, Gao Xuwei was even angrier!

“Pei Qian, you’re talking nonsense and deliberately making things difficult for me! I just asked Shun Yi to bring Madam Liu over. What’s so suspicious about that?!

Just because of this, you want to take Shun Yi away for questioning. Don’t you think this is ridiculous?!

I don’t want to waste time with you here. Hurry up and get someone to send Shun Yi back!”

Gao Xuwei was furious. He was unwilling to listen to anything Pei Qian said now. He was only fuming over how Pei Qian had ruined his reputation.

Of course, she also felt a little guilty.

He could tell that Madam Liu had a special relationship with Pei Qian, which was one of the reasons he was interested in her.

Pei Qian was the heir of the Pei family. If he could snatch away someone he cared about…

For some reason, he always had the thought of competing with the Pei family.

Who cared if he could win or not? Just the thought that his opponent was the high and mighty Pei family made him extremely excited!

However, as soon as he had this thought, Pei Qian cut off his chances of fulfilling it.

Not only did he not achieve his goal, but Pei Qian even captured one of his followers!

“I’ve already told you just now. When Qian He interrogates Shun Yi, if there’s really no problem, we’ll definitely send him back to you immediately!

I made this arrangement for your own good. After all, you know that Shun Yi’s identity is unknown now. If he’s really a Wolf Guard in disguise, if he does anything he shouldn’t, it will definitely implicate you!

Collaborating with the enemy to commit treason is a serious crime! This naturally involves the future of the Pei family!

Therefore, I don’t think there’s a problem with being cautious! If you really feel that my decision and actions are wrong, you can write a letter to Marquis Ning Yuan later!

Ask him if there’s anything wrong with me doing this!”

At this moment, Pei Qian’s attitude became firm. He stared at Gao Xuwei without backing down in the slightest!

It was unknown if it was because Pei Qian’s attitude was too firm or for some other reason, but Gao Xuwei relented!

“This must be a misunderstanding!” Gao Xuwei turned around to avoid Pei Qian’s scrutinizing gaze. “If you want to investigate, then investigate! However, if you can’t find any evidence, as your uncle, I’ll demand compensation!”

After saying that, Gao Xuwei quickly turned around and strode away, as if he was afraid that Pei Qian would say something!

As Pei Qian looked in the direction Gao Xuwei had left, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

He turned around and quietly went to find Qian He.

The commotion on Pei Qian’s side didn’t affect Lu Ze and Lin Suisui. After returning, Lu Ze only asked Lin Suisui to rest for a while. If anything happened, he would call her.

Thinking about how she indeed hadn’t slept much yesterday, Lin Suisui didn’t refuse. She agreed and went to sleep in the ox cart.

After settling Lin Suisui down, Lu Ze returned to the bonfire and sat down. Not long after, Pei Qian entered.

“Are you angry?!” Seeing that Lu Ze was sitting by the bonfire and didn’t even look up, Pei Qian chuckled as he walked over to sit beside Lu Ze.

“Alright, I’ll apologize to you today! Please endure it for now. When the time is right, I won’t stop you. How about that?!”

Pei Qian didn’t mind that Lu Ze ignored him. He continued to mutter beside him.

“Speak your mind.” Lu Ze threw the firewood in his hand into the bonfire. He didn’t want to hear Pei Qian’s nonsense.

“I think Madam Liu seems to care a lot about the lives of that mother and daughter!

However, you also know that in this situation, it’s probably impossible for my uncle to continue having his way in the north!

Although I’m confident that the Pei family won’t be implicated in his crimes, the Gao family will definitely be punished!

Therefore, if she really wants to keep that mother and daughter alive, we have to plan now!”

Pei Qian looked at Lu Ze as he said word by word.

“This matter isn’t up to us to decide.” Lu Ze looked up at Pei Qian calmly. He had no intention of responding.

Whether they could save the mother and daughter or not depended on Pei Qian!

He had clearly come over to probe.

Seeing that Lu Ze didn’t take the bait, Pei Qian suddenly felt a little bored. He stared at Lu Ze for a long time before sighing unhappily. “You’re so boring. How did Madam Liu fall for you?!”

“This is our private matter. Aren’t you interfering too much?!”

Lu Ze looked up and sounded a little angry.

Pei Qian had already offended Lu Ze, but he pretended not to know. Seeing that Lu Ze’s mood had changed, he became even smugger. “I’m doing this for your sake. Most women nowadays like interesting men. If you’re always so quiet and boring, you have to be careful that someone will have designs on your wife!”
