Wei An had no intention of showing mercy to the siblings. Peng Lingwei said that her brother was rude, but she was just putting pressure on Wei An. She thought that after the last time Wei An came to her house for a party, she had already reached a tacit understanding with her family and that he would marry into her family and become her sister-in-law in the future.
Since you are going to become a member of the Peng family, you should have some self-awareness and know what you should and should not do.
Today's attempt to distance ourselves from the Peng family should not be done under any circumstances.
But she didn't expect that Wei An would actually admit it so easily, following her polite words and saying that she was really rude, and he did it in such a nonchalant manner.
This made her feel humiliated. Her original mood of watching the fun was completely ruined. She couldn't even muster the energy to deal with Wei An anymore. She hurriedly shouted to her sixth brother in a harsh voice: "The princess is extremely noble. How can we marry her? Let's go back!"
She was angry and spoke hastily.
It was too late for Peng Caichen to stop it. Seeing Wei An still expressionless, he could not help but get angry. He simply looked at Wei An with cold eyes and said "hmm", agreeing with his sister's words.
He really couldn't bear this.
Wei An was fine before, but for some reason he became angry these past few days. Today he gave her face and tried to please her tenderly in front of so many people, but she just ignored his kindness.
In that case, he might as well just give her the cold shoulder.
Xianrong County Lady raised her eyebrows. Lady Defei was determined to promote this marriage. Isn't Wei An the best at understanding people's feelings? How come he couldn't even see this this time
You saw through it, but still dared to offend the Peng family
Wei An didn't care about what these people thought at all. She came down just because she was annoyed that Peng Caichen kept blocking her carriage and causing rumors to spread outside.
Now that she had displayed her relationship with the Peng brothers and sisters in front of these onlookers, she turned around and wanted to leave. The Peng brothers and sisters were just baits put out by the Peng family. If she didn't take the bait, the Peng family would naturally think of other ways to deal with her. She was not in a hurry and waited for the Peng family to make a move.
Now the Xie family’s affairs are what really matter.
The only thing she wanted to know as soon as possible was why Mr. Xie had to keep staring at her.
But when she was halfway there, she saw Young Master Lin hurriedly passing by from the opposite side and going up the stairs to the third floor.
He was in a hurry and walking briskly, and the person in front of him, judging from his figure, was undoubtedly Shen Chen.
What's the matter that has them both in such a hurry
Wei An was stunned, and before he could react, a scream came from below.
The main courtyard in front of the Phoenix Terrace is like a pillar, with a space in the middle. Private rooms are set up around this circular space, ensuring that people from both sides can see the stage downstairs where operas are being performed or storytellers are singing songs, which is extremely unique.
At this moment, Wei An saw a group of Jinyiwei rushing into the first floor. As if they were prepared, they rushed straight to the first box on the east side, grabbed a few people and hurried out.
Knowing that today was the Peng family's banquet and that the guests were all either rich or noble, the Jinyiwei still came to arrest people. Everyone was frightened.
Peng Lingwei turned to look at her brother with a sullen face, and asked him in a trembling voice, "Sixth brother, what's going on?!"
Today is the birthday of Peng Caiying, the fifth young master of the Peng family. Because it is not a full birthday, but the Peng family is particularly favored now, in addition to the banquet prepared for him by his family, he also specially invited those playmates who he usually plays with to come out and sing and listen to music.
All the invited actors are famous actors from the current Desheng Troupe.
Even the prince of Linjiang came to show his respect, and the princess of Xianrong County also came at the invitation, but they were spoiled by a group of Jinyiwei. Peng Caiying was also very angry, but when he chased after them and asked them, he immediately retreated with a pale face. The person captured by Jinyiwei was the eldest son of Guo Zixing, a Taizhou lieutenant general who had just come to Beijing to report on his work in Fujian. It was said that he was involved in maritime smuggling, and Jinyiwei was ordered to arrest him.
How could he not know what the words "arrest by order" meant
They are speaking the law of heaven. Even if they are royal relatives, what dare they do in the face of the four words "arrest by imperial order"
The atmosphere was not right after all. Peng Caiying forced a smile and still had to greet the guests with a smile - the guests he invited were not right. If he made a fool of himself again, how would the Peng family survive in the capital
This was the first time that he had properly invited the sons of the capital's noble families to play, but who would have thought that something like this would happen. Peng Caichen felt very unlucky, and he felt even more upset when he saw Wei An - to be frank, he felt that Wei An was a jinx.
At this point, he really had lost his patience, but he still suppressed his impatience and said to Wei An: "Don't be afraid, it's just a routine job for the Jinyiwei."
Wei An finally realized that Peng Caichen was truly just an insignificant ant - he didn't even have the basic sense of crisis.
Why would the Royal Guards arrest people for no reason
No matter what, the person who was captured was a guest invited by Master Peng Wu, right
Wei An smiled and shook his head: "Sixth Young Master, you are worrying too much. I have nothing to be afraid of."
She rejected Peng Caichen's offer to send her home, and shook her head bluntly: "My fourth brother is here, why bother the Sixth Young Master? Although the elders of the two families have contacts, my grandmother taught me to follow the rules since I was a child. The Sixth Young Master should respect himself and do less things that lead to misunderstandings, so as to avoid the spread of rumors that are detrimental to the two families."
This hat is really heavy, meaning that if there are any rumors that are unfavorable to Wei An in the future, it will be the people of the Peng family who are unruly? !
Peng Caichen finally couldn't suppress his anger, and turned and left without saying a word.
He was too lazy to even look at this person who was so moody and never gave anyone face.
In fact, it was not just Wei An who left. After all, he was scared by the series of events that happened to the King of Chu and the King of Duan a while ago. It was too much of a mood to see the Jinyiwei coming to arrest people.
Everyone made excuses to leave, even Chu Jingxing, who was in the innermost private room, came out. He immediately saw Wei An talking to Peng Caichen calmly.
Wei An's facial features were so good that it was hard for people not to notice her at first sight. If she didn't have a cold face all day and was not so young, Peng Caichen would probably not be willing to turn his head even if she was ten times colder.
He looked at the crowd in the distance, smiled thoughtfully, and fixed his eyes on the Fairy-looking County Lady. He suddenly understood why she had done the same stupid things as Li Gui Niang before - girls always have an unkind jealousy towards those who are much more aggressive than themselves, especially when the identity of this person can compete with her and is superior to her.
