"Miss Yu, I'm sorry that I couldn't trust you. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that we would actually meet officials like you in our lifetime." Bai Lian grabbed Yu Qingfeng's hand and was filled with emotion.

Yu Qingfeng joked while lifting them up, "I didn't expect that our Dali Temple originally planned to come here to dispel superstitious rumors, but in the end we had to help spread the rumors."

Seeing the red rose and white lotus kneeling down, everyone else, including Mrs. Ji, all called Dali Temple the Master Qingtian and wanted to kneel down.

The four of them could only help one by one.

Mrs. Ji specially walked up to Yu Qingfeng and knelt down no matter what she said, apologizing for drugging Yu Qingfeng.

How could Yu Qingfeng endure the kneeling of her elders? She quickly stopped her and told the truth with a smile, she didn't care at all about such a small loss.

Looking at these people in Jinsong Hall, Yu Qingfeng's heart felt warm and painful when thinking of Meng Yuxin who had sacrificed her life to express her ambition.

Women cannot resist the head of the family, whether he is a member of the family or the owner of a tofu mill, let alone the superior aristocrats. All they can do is to hug each other for warmth. They feel sympathy for each other and help each other.

"However," Pei Wuyan suddenly spoke up, breaking the harmonious and touching atmosphere, "I will inform the Suzhou Prefect that if you people violate the law again, you will be severely punished."

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Yu Qingfeng laughed awkwardly. What Pei Wuyan said was really embarrassing, but it had to be said.

When everyone dispersed, Lian Shurong walked up to Mrs. Ji and said, "Cousin, what are you going to do next? Or come back to the capital with me."

Mrs. Ji shook her head.

Red Rose and White Lotus walked behind Mrs. Ji. The three women stood together for the first time, giving each other firm looks and kind smiles.

"Master Lian, our sisters have already discussed with Mrs. Ji that we will stay and, together with Miss Qi, take over He Xiangu's inn and take in the poor homeless people."

Hong Mei’s eyes are bright and full of hope and longing for the future.

"Yes, Shurong, I want to stay. I still have a lot to do here. I can also protect the three members of the Cao family, especially Cao Hong."

Mrs. Ji's face shone with a light she had never seen before.

"That's fine," Yu Qingfeng walked up to Lian Shurong and patted Lian Shurong's shoulder, "It's better for Mrs. Ji to stay than to go back."

"Really?" Lian Shurong didn't seem to believe it.

"Mrs. Ji is still the Marquis's wife, with a distinguished status. His Majesty originally intended to make her the imperial wife. This time when he returns to the capital and enters the palace, when your Majesty hears that the Marquis has passed away unexpectedly, he will definitely issue an order to canonize her. When the time comes, Mrs. Ji has the right to have the title.

This is the blessing of Suzhou."

Lian Shurong suddenly realized that it was right to think about it. Although her cousin had no relatives or heirs of her own in Suzhou, she had made these close friends who shared the same ideals and cherished each other. Staying here would indeed make her realize her dream better.

value of life.

"Mrs. Ji, Uncle Tian also asks you to keep him in the Hou Mansion. I think he is in good health. He can raise dogs for the Hou Mansion and do odd jobs and so on. It won't be a problem."

Yu Qingfeng was originally worried about Tian Lei's fate, worried that no one would take him in as an old man. But now that Mrs. Ji is going to engage in charity, she is not worried that Mrs. Ji will refuse her request.

"That's natural. Those dogs do need people to take care of them. Lao Tian likes dogs. I can see that it would be perfect to leave them to him."

Lin Ming heard the conversation here and came over, "Mrs. Ji, since you are not interested in fighting dogs, do you still want to keep those dogs?"

Mrs. Ji nodded solemnly, "If you want to raise them, you need to raise them well. All homeless dogs in Suzhou City can be sent to me. I will also find a way to close that dog fighting place completely."

Yu Qingfeng's nose felt sore again. Madam Ji was trying to atone for Ji Zongyuan's crimes against dogs. Charity benefits both humans and dogs. Madam Ji seemed to really want to inherit the mantle of Meng Yuxin and the Meng family and benefit Suzhou.

After everyone dispersed, Yu Qingfeng went to visit Tian Lei in the kennel again, wanting to tell him that Hou Mansion would be his home from now on.

As soon as he walked to the door of the kennel, he saw Tian Lei squatting among a group of dogs from a distance, enjoying the wet enthusiasm of the licking dogs, with an old face smiling like a child.

"Yu Qingfeng."

A call interrupted Yu Qingfeng's joy in admiring the beautiful scene in front of her. The voice was very familiar, it was Pei Wuyan.

Yu Qingfeng suppressed her smile, kept a straight face, turned around and bowed to Pei Wuyan to salute, "I have seen Master Pei before."

Pei Wuyan seemed to have been punched, "You, come back to your room with me. I have something to tell you."

"Just in time, I also have something to tell Mr. Pei." Yu Qingfeng followed Pei Wuyan to the guest room with stubborn steps.

As soon as he entered, Pei Wuyan closed the door and looked at Yu Qingfeng solemnly.

"Master Pei, should you speak first or should I speak first?" Yu Qingfeng suppressed her smile and pretended to be serious.

"Let me start by saying that the reason why I handed you over to others to take care of you is because I know that you were just drugged and there is nothing serious. However, Ji Hou and the Qi family are imminent."

"Yes, Lord Pei is selfless, and I understand that. Moreover, if such a major case is entrusted to the two adults under his command, Lord Pei is naturally worried and must go and handle it personally."

Pei Wuyan became more and more anxious as he listened, "I just..."

"I just want to prove myself and not lose to a mere maid again."

"You know that's not the case, so why bother saying..."

"That's what my mouth is like, Master Pei knows it."

Yu Qingfeng interrupted Pei Wuyan again and again. She secretly admired Pei Wuyan's clumsy tongue and hurried and confused appearance.

Pei Wuyan finally organized his words, "I don't want to hand you over to Lian Shurong because he is definitely not as good as Lin in terms of care and protection..."

"Thank you, Master Pei." Yu Qingfeng still interrupted, "Master Lin and I have become friends in times of need. I was so moved when I opened my eyes and saw him for the first time in the hospital. We have made a private decision for life. Please fulfill it, Master Pei."

Pei Wuyan didn't seem to react for a moment, staring blankly at Yu Qingfeng.

"We originally agreed that Master Lin would come to talk to you tonight and ask Master Pei to return my body deed and fulfill our obligations."

Pei Wuyan's eyes gradually became cold, and he finally spoke slowly:

"Yu Qingfeng, I'm afraid you have forgotten that when I took you away from the palace, you signed a death deed, not a redeemable living deed. You are my person in life and my dead person in death. It is a private contract for life.

?Doesn’t count.”

Yu Qingfeng originally wanted to tease Pei Wuyan as punishment for leaving her to Lin Ming, but she didn't expect that Pei Wuyan started to act cruelly, so she couldn't be defeated easily.

"Then I will elope with Master Lin!"

Pei Wuyan was stunned for a moment, then showed sadness again, clenching his fists tightly, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you."

"Ah?" Yu Qingfeng was caught off guard and tried another trick?

"I'll go find Lin Ming to discuss this matter." After saying that, Pei Wuyan turned and left.

"Are you really willing?" Yu Qingfeng trotted after Pei Wuyan. This guy entrusted her to Lin Ming so easily?

That's right, isn't this direction heading towards Lin Ming's room?

"Yes. Don't worry, I will do what I say. But I need Lin Ming to give me a promise. We need to talk privately. You wait outside."

While talking, Pei Wuyan had already stood at the door of Lin Ming's room and knocked on the door.

Lin Ming opened the door.

Pei Wuyan said solemnly that he had something to talk about. He entered and closed the door, shutting the confused Yu Qingfeng out.

It's impossible, it's impossible, Pei Wuyan is definitely lying to her and teasing her. It's not the first time, they have fought like this before.

Yu Qingfeng told herself over and over again, don't be afraid, Pei Wuyan would never give her up to Lin Ming. He must have seen through that she was lying to her and used his trick to scare her.

If Pei Wuyan really dared to give her away like a gift, Yu Qingfeng would elope by herself.

After waiting uneasily for what seemed like a year, Pei Wuyan finally came out, and Lin Ming saluted Pei Wuyan at the door and said goodbye.

"On behalf of Qingfeng, Lin Ming would like to thank Mr. Pei for this." Lin Ming's voice was full of excitement.

Lin Ming actually said that!

Yu Qingfeng was struck by a bolt from the blue, and her body leaned against the wall and slowly slid down.

Pei Wuyan turned the corner and saw Yu Qingfeng who wanted to sit on the ground, and quickly reached out to help her up.

"I've helped you all, why are you so honorable?"

Yu Qingfeng shook off Pei Wuyan's hand, "I want to go to the East Palace!"

"Donggong? Are you still thinking about His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"That's right, I won't play with you guys anymore. I'll go to the East Palace and be the crown princess no matter what!"

Pei Wuyan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing that Yu Qingfeng was really angry and sad, he laughed even more heartily.

In Pei Wuyan's laughter, Yu Qingfeng understood that she was fooled instead of trying to trick others.

"I made a deal with Lin Ming. Your bet doesn't count. You don't have to wear the jade pendant he gave me. So I and Lin Ming will petition His Highness to make you the director of Dali Temple. You don't want to be in Dali."

The first female official in the temple?"

Yu Qingfeng was resurrected with full blood, and the soles of her feet grew like springs. She jumped up and down and pulled Pei Wuyan's arm, "Si Zhi? Which rank, which rank?"

"At the sixth rank, there is still a lot of room for promotion." Pei Wuyan looked at Yu Qingfeng with loving eyes, as if he was coaxing a child who wanted sweets.

Yu Qingfeng laughed loudly. It turned out that Lin Ming said he wanted to thank Pei Wuyan for helping her. No wonder Lin Ming was so happy, because Yu Qingfeng realized her wish to be a female official, not the wife of the minister of Dali Temple.

"If you call yourself a slave again, I will take it back..."

"Are you kidding? How can I belittle myself and call myself a slave?" Yu Qingfeng put her hands behind her back and straightened her back, imitating the ancients and pretending.

Pei Wuyan smiled and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"

"You're still angry, is there anything else?" Yu Qingfeng also wants to ask for rewards, benefits and rewards, so naturally the more the merrier.
