CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 217: STOP HUFFING AND PUFFING WHILE TALKING!

A group of green-clothed guards received the order and immediately rushed forward to smash the gate and walls of the Prince Manor!

The guards of the Prince Manor swarmed up, but they must have the skill to withstand it...

The arriving Princess Rong saw this scene and her face turned pale!

She hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, someone! The Pei family is rebelling! Quickly report to the Emperor!"

Pei Yu raised his spear and coldly sneered at her, "Your family is merely that of a prince, a subject! Smashing your gate isn’t much of a rebellion, is it?

"If I’m rebelling, then what are you?!"

Princess Rong was so choked by his words she couldn’t respond!

Prince Rong regretted allowing her to come out!

He angrily reprimanded, "Go back!"

After speaking, he strode up to Pei Yu’s horse, his face sullen, "Isn’t this enough trouble from you?! Making a fuss over such trivial matters, are you trying to sever ties with me?!"

"You’re absolutely right!"

Pei Yu rolled his eyes to the sky! "I, Pei Yu, am indeed here to sever ties today! Listen well, our Pei family will not associate with those with crooked hearts, who harm others for no reason! From now on, you walk your sunlit path, and I’ll cross my single-log bridge!

"You and I shall not know each other!"

Prince Rong was so furious his teeth gritted loudly!

And just as Pei Yu finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the gate and walls of the Prince Manor, and the guards had already skillfully made a large hole in the wall!

These people have done much of this kind of work before, attacking cities and seizing territory! Breaking a wall really isn’t much effort...

After sending off Pei Yu, Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan were just in time to meet Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili arriving.

The two rushed breathlessly into their room, "Did you two hit Yang Zhan in the Prince Manor?"

Fu Zhen had been full of anticipation for news from the Zhang family but didn’t expect them to know about this matter so quickly!

She asked, "Where did you hear that?"

Liang Zhi immediately started speaking rapidly, "It’s spreading like wildfire in the streets, now everyone is saying that Yang is up to no good, purposely luring you into the Prince Manor to humiliate you!

"Now even the street beggars know that our heroes were bullied, and everyone is cursing the Prince Rong’s Mansion to death, and you’re asking us where we heard it? How could we not know!"

Fu Zhen was speechless.

She knew the news would spread sooner or later, but hadn’t expected it to spread so quickly!

She couldn’t help asking, "What else are they saying outside?"

"They’re also saying Uncle Pei was furious and took people to dismantle the gate of the Prince Manor! Prince Rong was livid and just ordered the Prince Mansion Guards to fight with Uncle Pei’s people!

"But the people from the Prince Manor couldn’t win, and Uncle Pei didn’t intend to fight either, so his guards were only defending, focusing solely on dismantling the walls!"

Fu Zhen silently admired them! The old general’s move was indeed worth two!

Cheng Chili couldn’t help but ask, "What on earth happened? We didn’t hear of this incident before! What did Yang Zhan do?"

Fu Zhen rolled up her sleeves and explained the whole story.

Liang Zhi hadn’t even finished listening before he jumped up, "That bastard! You wait, I’ll go help Uncle Pei! That damn Yang bastard, he doesn’t have any respect for you, the wife of General Pingxi!"

Fu Zhen hurriedly pulled him back, "Okay, okay, having Uncle Pei there is enough! If more people go, it would be excessive, giving them ammunition, and people outside would say we’re unwilling to forgive even when we’re on the right side, and we’ll end up causing more trouble."

Liang Zhi had no choice but to sit down.

Fu Zhen poured him some tea and said, "Actually, the business of putting someone by the General’s side is minor, what’s critical is they’re trying to plant that woman in the Pei family as a spy!"

"...A spy?" Liang Zhi looked back and forth between them.

"Exactly." Pei Zhan nodded, "I looked at the contract of sale, originally Yang Zhan bought her a year ago, meaning she’s been in the Prince Rong’s Mansion for a year.

"A year is enough time for her to be tamed."

Liang Zhi slammed the table, "He really dares think big!"

Fu Zhen said, "What’s there to not dare? That woman has quite a charming appearance, looking pitifully at the General with teary eyes, even I felt sorry for her, and she’s quite good at playing along."

Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili simultaneously raised their eyebrows and looked at Pei Zhan.

Pei Zhan took a deep breath, "When did she ever look at me? Stop making things up!"

"I’m praising you for doing well!"

Fu Zhen patted his arm soothingly, then said, "I saw the contract of sale too, that’s exactly how it is. Yang and Mrs. Zhang have ulterior motives!

"Yang Zhan pulling this isn’t without precedent; he’s probably succeeded numerous times before, so now he’s experienced and thought even if the General refused, it wouldn’t cost him anything.

"But if the General accepted, it would be greatly beneficial to him!

"Once the spy enters the Pei family, it’s only a matter of time before Yang Zhan and Mrs. Zhang find an opportunity to invade, not to mention, how can we hide from them the fact that the General and I are a fake couple?"

Fu Zhen absolutely would not tolerate them harboring such intentions, and luckily Pei Zhan thought the same, so the two pushed for the Pei family to completely sever ties with Prince Rong’s Mansion.

With Pei Yu breaking off with Prince Rong, the people from Prince Rong’s Mansion wouldn’t have a chance to exploit the Pei family!

"No wonder!" Cheng Chili said, "I was wondering why such a big commotion happened in just half a day! Who wouldn’t be angry?"

"But we still need to get that woman back."

Fu Zhen’s words almost twisted Pei Zhan’s waist!

He said, "What are you planning?"

"Having you take responsibility!" Fu Zhen stretched out, "The contract of sale is in our hands, she’s already your person, leaving her with them would still pose a threat!

"What if they instruct her to do something bad and force the Pei family to take the blame?

"So she can’t stay at Prince Rong’s Mansion.

"At the very least, the owner on the contract has to be changed!"

Pei Zhan looked at her for a long time, then said with a sigh, "Next time, don’t scare me like that when speaking."

It frightened him indeed.

Seeing the two across from him staring intently at him, he said, "Since you’re both here, I’ll leave this matter to you."

Liang and Cheng stuck their necks out, "She’s your person, why should we handle it?!"

"Because it’s your task from now on." Pei Zhan squinted at them, "The Pei family has severed ties with Prince Rong’s Mansion, so are your families still going to associate with them? Shouldn’t you seize this opportunity to remind your families?"

Cheng Chili hissed, "You’re right! There’s no point maintaining good relations with them, now that we’ve torn open a gap, we might as well find ways to reveal their true selves to the world from now on!"

Fu Zhen nodded, "The He Family is a ready example. If they aren’t forced to reveal their true form, they’ll still plot in the shadows.

"Even if the He Family isn’t great, their strength is respectable, and they mustn’t be allowed to be used by Xu Yin.

"They aim to win over officials, so let’s not let them succeed!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhi suddenly asked, "Do you know how we fared on this errand today?"

Fu Zhen was eager to know about this! "Quick, tell me, how did Zhang Shicheng act?"
