Chapter 646: Killing Master Qianliang (1)_1
Pei Wendong was just eleven this year, only turning twelve after the new year, yet he was adamant about taking part in the spring examination next year. Pei Qin’s eyes immediately sharpened, "What has happened during these days we were not at home?"
Pei Qian clenched her teeth in anger, "Our workshops and stores have all been sealed, and all the sweet potatoes from the fields have been taken by the County Government Office! The land and Tian Zhuang have been taken as well! They even wanted to ransack our house! They forbade anything from being delivered to our house from outside. If it weren’t for the rice and flour we had at home, we would have starved to death!"
Pei Qin looked towards Pei Wendong.
Pei Wendong’s lips were tightly pressed together, his expression full of anger and hatred.
Xiao Yong said apologetically, "It’s all my fault. If I had revealed my identity, they wouldn’t have dared to do anything."
"Revealing your identity would only bring more harm to Sister Qin," Chang Yonglin admonished him. As the Princely Heir of Yong’an Prince Mansion, staying at Sister Qin’s house could intimidate those people, but if someone higher up wanted to harm Sister Qin, exposing this matter would only be detrimental to her. With him there, Prince Yong’an would not let anything happen to Sister Qin. As long as Sister Qin was safe, everything was still manageable!
"Huang Youzhong actually wants to take our third sister as a concubine, claiming that daughters who are married off are not subject to collective punishment, and he suggested she bring all the family’s wealth with her as dowry. That way, our family fortunes could be preserved, and even if I and Jiujiu were sentenced to exile, our seed capital could still be saved and used to rescue us," Pei Wendong ground his teeth in fury. "Scoundrel official! He clearly just wants to humiliate our third sister and seize our family’s property!"
"What else?" Pei Qin asked coldly.
