I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

333 Acting Up

“He has already instructed someone to prepare dinner. He’s waiting for the two of you to go over.” The servant smiled obsequiously as he told them the rest of the arrangements, as if he had already expected Lu Ze to reject him.

Since things had already been arranged, Lu Ze couldn’t say anything else and entered Pei Qian’s residence with Lin Suisui through the side door that had been made previously.

As soon as she entered the main courtyard where Pei Qian lived, Lin Suisui smelled the strong fragrance of roasted mutton.

“General, Madam.” Seeing Lin Suisui and Lu Ze enter, Qian He, who was waiting under the corridor, hurriedly walked over to greet them. Then, he explained with a smile, “Today, we sent fresh lamb meat to Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei thought about how both you and Mrs. Pei liked mutton, so he instructed someone to roast half and slice the other half.”

Lu Ze didn’t speak as he pulled Lin Suisui into the warm pavilion where Pei Qian was resting with Qian He.

Pei Qian didn’t get up and was still leaning against the hidden bag that warmed the bed. When he saw them enter, a smile appeared on his pale face. He pointed at the table that had been set up beside him as he said apologetically, “I won’t accompany you guys. Help yourselves.”

“You don’t have to gloat here. After all, if the fourth prince finds trouble, he’ll come to you first.” Lu Ze didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down at the table with Lin Suisui.

After Qian He, who came in later, took the iron skewer with meat from the girl who was kneeling on the grill at the side, he instructed her to leave first.

There was no one else in the warm pavilion at this moment, so it was much more convenient to talk.

“What’s there to gloat about?” Pei Qian used his handkerchief to cover his mouth as he coughed a few times. Then, he looked at Lu Ze and asked, “Wasn’t the birthday banquet at Marquis Beining’s ministry today lively enough?

You guys went over to watch the drama, but not only was I bedridden and couldn’t go anywhere, but I also got snubbed after preparing food to please Your Highness.”

“Although there are some changes, there wasn’t that much of a difference.” As Lu Ze sprinkled condiments on the mutton in his hand, he explained everything that happened today to Pei Qian.

When Pei Qian heard that the fourth prince and the two women had been dragged out of the room by Madam Beining, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Tsk, it’s a pity that I didn’t see it for myself.”

“However, aren’t you afraid that if you anger the fourth prince, he will punish you first?”

“What has it got to do with me? It’s all because of Yu Niang.” Seeing that the meat was already roasted, Lu Ze handed a skewer to Lin Suisui, who was sitting at the side and looking at it eagerly. He didn’t forget to remind her, “Be careful not to burn yourself.”

Lu Ze and Lin Suisui had an enjoyable dinner with Pei Qian. At this moment, things seemed calm in Marquis Beining’s ministry, but in fact, everyone knew that this calmness was just an illusion.

After Lu Ze left, the fourth prince was quickly taken away by Zhou Hengchang, who had rushed over after receiving the news. At the same time, Princess Ning Fu, who was in a sorry state, was also taken away.

As soon as the fourth prince left, the guests who were supposed to stay for dinner quickly left Marquis Beining’s ministry for various reasons. They looked anxious, as if they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to escape if they were any later.

At this moment, Marquis Beining couldn’t be bothered to dwell on anger anymore. He could only call everyone in Marquis Beining’s ministry over to discuss countermeasures.

Compared to Song Minghui and his wife, who looked calm, none of the people gathered in Guixi Hall looked happy.

Yu Niang, who had always been arrogant, couldn’t stop crying. Song Mingmin and Song Minggui, who were kneeling in the hall, didn’t even dare to move.

As for Madam Song, who was also involved in this matter, she had already been abandoned somewhere to fend for herself.

“What are you crying for? Don’t you think things are chaotic enough now?” Marquis Beining was frustrated by Yu Niang’s crying and smashed the teacup beside him to the ground. The shattered porcelain pieces and Marquis Beining’s angry roar scared everyone in the hall into shrinking back, for fear that they would be the next ones to be implicated.

“Father, Ningqian is pregnant. She can’t help much even if she stays here, so can we let her go back and rest first?”

Although everyone was overcome with fear, Song Minghui remained fearless and glanced at Marquis Beining calmly as he asked for instructions.

“What do you mean? I want to ask why that little b*tch was in her courtyard?!” Before Marquis Beining could speak, the old lady beside him couldn’t help but shout as she glared at Zhou Ningqian with hatred.

Although her anger frightened Marquis Beining, Song Minghui and his wife were already used to it.

“Grandmother, I was the one who asked Ningqian to bring General’s wife to the courtyard to talk.” Song Minghui stopped Zhou Ningqian, who was about to stand up and explain, and took a step to the side to block in front of her. Then, he met the old lady’s gaze as he replied calmly, “Now that Mr. Pei is seriously injured, all the matters in the north have been handed over to General Wei Bei.

Ningqian and the general’s wife hit it off at first sight. The general’s wife took care of her for so many days and saved the child in her stomach, so I asked Ningqian to use this opportunity to get closer to her for the sake of our future. What’s wrong with that?”

“We’ve contributed to the people for generations. Why would we need you to curry favor with a general’s wife who came out of nowhere?” The old lady was overcome with anger, so how could she listen to Mr. Songe’s explanation at this moment? She scolded, “That woman is a scourge. If not for her, would your two sisters be arrested and sent to the Imperial City’s government office?

Also, I think today’s matter is most likely related to her!

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that she was the only one who was safe and sound? This trap clearly targeted that little b*tch!

Also, how did your sister and the others suddenly come back? Are these all coincidences?

Now that we’ve been set up, you’re still thinking about how to curry favor with our enemy. Where’s your backbone?!

“How are you worthy of being the son of Marquis Beining? Get lost and go kneel down outside now!”
