Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 202: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 19

Pei Qingcheng left.

He left cleanly without taking anything with him, just like when he first arrived, alone, with only traces of his past life remaining in the courtyard.

Before leaving, Li Junze asked him if he wanted to take his younger sister back. Pei Qingcheng stared at the courtyard where he had only lived for a month, and finally shook his head slowly, "No need, I believe that the prince will be able to take good care of Xijun."

In fact, he had anticipated this day as early as when he learned about the war on the border, so he asked his sister in advance, and his sister said that this place was very good and did not want to leave.

Pei Qingcheng thought to himself that the Pei family had already fallen into decline and no matter where he was, he would always be dependent on others.

Even if they bring her back to the Prince's Mansion, they will have to go to war soon and will have no time to take care of her. It would be better for her to stay here with the protection of the Prince, where her life will be more stable.

Of course, Pei Qingcheng also has his own selfish motives.

He was unwilling to break off contact with Prince Su so easily. Even though he knew that the other party had someone in his heart, he still secretly hoped that if he could return safely in the future, he would still have a reason to come back here.

The moment Li Junze and Pei Qingcheng stepped out of the mansion, Lu Zhu ran after them, "Prince, Master Pei, please stay."

When they heard the sound, they turned around and saw Lu Zhu, the servant beside Su Ziyu, holding a heavy bag in his arms.

He first winked at Pei Qingcheng, and then seemed to have become a different person, shouting at Pei Qingcheng at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear him.

"Master Pei, you were once the most virtuous young master in the capital, but I never thought you would be such an ungrateful person. My young master really misjudged you.

We will go our separate ways in the future. Don't let my prince run into you again, otherwise, don't blame my prince for being ruthless. Take your things and leave the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion as soon as possible. You will never be welcome in the mansion again."

After saying some harsh words, Lu Zhu threw the bag in her arms to him, a hint of apology in her eyes, and left in a hurry, leaving Pei Qingcheng standing there in a daze holding the bag, while passers-by around him were talking about it.

Pei Qingcheng lowered his eyes and stared at the bag in his arms.

The burden is heavy and hard.

It feels like it might contain protective armor.

Pei Qingcheng felt a little sour in the tip of his nose. Although the Pei family was a family of military generals, starting from his father's generation, the Dali Dynasty gradually emphasized civil affairs over military affairs, and military generals had no place to use their talents.

As for himself, he had read more than practiced martial arts since he was a child, and never thought that there would be a day when he would go to the battlefield. He also did not expect that the first set of armor he wore before the war was not prepared by his parents, but given by Prince Su.

Pei Qingcheng hugged the bundle tightly and blinked hard to hold back his tears. He did not take Lu Zhu's words to heart. He knew very well that Master Su was a man with a hard mouth but a soft heart. If he really disliked him, he would not have gone around in circles and given him the protective armor.

Li Junze, who witnessed the whole process, looked gloomy and stared at the bag in his arms. Although he understood that Su Zi wanted to distance himself from the matter, he was still very angry.

Don't think he can't see what's in the bundle.

Why could even Pei Qingcheng, who was temporarily staying in the Marquis' Mansion, receive Su Ziyu's care, while he, who had physical intimacy with Su Ziyu, not only did not receive any care, but was even warned?

Li Junze was filled with jealousy, "Let's go!"

He shook his sleeves and got on the carriage. Pei Qingcheng looked back at the plaque of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion reluctantly, then got on the carriage and left.

In just one night, the news that the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had broken off his relationship with the criminal slave Pei Qingcheng was spread throughout the capital by spies from all sides with exaggeration.

After all, the Huns are eyeing them covetously, and all the officials in the capital are paying attention to this fearless new crown prince!

Pei Qingcheng was the person specifically requested by the other party, and even the emperor had already agreed. However, Su Ziyu, this dandy young man, ruthlessly drove Pei Qingcheng out of the mansion in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even had the servants curse him in a veiled manner at the gate of the mansion.

The next day, when Su's father went to court, he was not only ridiculed by the ministers, but even the emperor used this as an excuse to severely reprimand him, saying that he had not taught his son well and fined him three months' salary as a warning to others.

When Su's father returned home, his face was gloomy. Ignoring Su's mother's obstruction, he ran straight to Su Ziyu's courtyard holding a rattan stick that he usually used only as a deterrent.

"Su Ziyu, come out here."

Su Ziyu was having a headache over a book on planting when he suddenly heard his father shouting in anger from the yard. His hand trembled and the book fell to the ground.

Recalling that the last time Su's father called out his full name like this was when he was a child and had a fight, he scratched another child's face. If his mother hadn't protected him, he would have probably had a bruise on his butt.

He hurriedly bent down to pick up the book, put it back on the desk, then pushed open the door and walked out of the study.

As soon as he appeared, he heard an angry shout, "Rebellious son, kneel down."

Su Zi wanted to see his father's rage, so he had to kneel down and asked in confusion: "Father, why is this happening? What did my son do to make you so angry?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

Father Su hit the tree with a rattan stick, his face full of regret, "Everyone says that spoiling a child is like killing him. You have been spoiled by your parents since you were young, but now you have ignored the interests of the country because of some personal feelings. As a father, I can no longer indulge you today."

"Father, wait a minute." Su Ziyu was confused. "When did my son disregard the interests of the country?"

He just sleeps at home every day and has never provoked anyone, so how could he be charged with such a serious crime?

At this time, Su's mother came and saw that he was about to hit the child. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She blocked Su Ziyu's way, closed her eyes and sobbed, "If you want to hit me, hit me too!"

"Ma'am, please don't make trouble."

Father Su was angry and helpless. He didn't want to use force in front of his wife, so he threw the cane aside, pulled her over to wipe her tears, and at the same time glared at his unfilial son who was kneeling on the ground.

"Now that the Xiongnu are invading, countless people are in dire straits. Pei Qingcheng is a descendant of a military family and has the opportunity to go to the battle with the crown prince because of his strong support.

But Yu'er was so good that he actually sent his servant to insult Pei Qingcheng in public and expelled him from the Marquis' Mansion, and in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After saying this, Father Su glared at Lu Zhu who was helping the tyrant.

Luzhu was terrified and curled up in a corner, trembling. It was not his intention to curse Master Pei. He was forced into it by the prince!

Although Su's mother was a woman, she knew the importance of right and wrong. She turned her head and looked at her son behind her, "Yuer, is what your father said true?"

Su Ziyu blinked and tried to defend himself, "Father, calm down. I have my reasons for doing this."

"Stop making excuses!"

Father Su's eyes widened with anger, but Mother Su stopped him at the critical moment, "My dear, I believe in our Yu'er's character. Don't rush to hit her. Let Yu'er finish what she has to say."

Father Su snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Su Zi wanted to change his previous attitude and stop being so careless. Instead, he said solemnly, "I wonder if my father has ever thought about what will happen to our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns triumphantly one day."

Father Su was startled. He had not thought so deeply. However, following Yuer's words, he could not help but imagine that if the prince and others returned victorious, they would definitely accept the loyalty and bravery of the Marquis's Mansion. However, the emperor was suspicious by nature...

Thinking of this, Father Su couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The look he gave his son was a little more complicated and confusing. He suddenly recalled what Eunuch Li had said that day. He originally thought Yu'er was a stupid person, but he didn't expect that he had been hiding his incompetence.

For a moment, Father Su's mind was filled with thoughts that were difficult to express in words. Mother Su knew his heart very well. She patted Father Su's hand to comfort him, then turned to look at her son with eyes full of relief and love, "Yuer has grown up."
