Chapter 309 Packed and sent away
But I tell you, he hasn't let it go. Although Han Wenbing's leg injury has healed, he has a scar on his face that won't go away in a short time. He couldn't find a wife in the first place, and now he can't find one even more. Do you have a wife to compensate him?"
"No." Rong Jin's answer was very straightforward this time.
"No? Then you had his face disfigured? What do you do now?"
Old Lord Pei changed his hand and continued to pull out his knuckles.
"Who dared to covet Sister Hua? I didn't break his legs and made him lie in bed for the rest of his life. I was already doing this for my mother's sake." Rong Jin was still very angry. Old Marquis Pei looked at Rong Jin and frowned.
"I heard from your grandmother that during the banquet at the Marquis's Mansion, your aunt-in-law approached your mother and asked her to act as a matchmaker for Han Wenbing, saying that she still wanted to marry Lei'er.
I heard that a few days before Lei'er moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, your mother asked Lei'er to go to Changfeng Garden to talk. "Mr. Pei's tone was stinky.
"What? My mother told Sister Hua? How come I didn't know?" Rong Jin's voice suddenly became sharp.
"Are you anxious now? What's the point? You rejected it completely at that time. What? You don't want it, so you don't allow others to have it?"
Old Lord Pei couldn't help but feel filled with anger. The originally smooth marriage was messed up by a mother and son who were one smarty-pants and the other foolish. A strong opponent also showed up out of nowhere. Now he was not sure he could make things right.
If the maid hadn't told her that later on, Madam Han didn't mention Han Wenbing's request to marry her in front of Hua Lei, but instead gave Hua Lei a set of precious ruby headpieces and let Hua Lei go back, she would have calmed down. Otherwise, Madam Han would probably have stayed in the Han Mansion and lived in love with Han Da and Han Er.
Originally, when he first knew that Rong Jin instigated the beating, he thought Rong Jin seemed to be too harsh. Now thinking about it, Han Lao Er's wife actually dared to come and ask for Lei'er's hand in marriage. Lord Pei became even angrier and felt that his grandson was too lenient.
Some people just don't know their own weight. For an uneducated playboy, even if Lei'er is not the granddaughter-in-law he has chosen, but just an ordinary old acquaintance, Lord Pei will not agree to let Hua Lei jump into the fire pit of the Han Mansion.
Seeing Rong Jin's face turning pale, Lord Pei felt distressed again, "Why are you so anxious? Your mother didn't say anything, otherwise do you think she can still stay in Changfeng Garden?"
Rong Jin was obviously relieved, and after a moment of silence, he begged, "Grandfather, please help me."
"How can I help? If you can just abduct her by force, I'll go to Hua's house again right now." Although his tone was still very bad, it softened in the end.
"How about you help ask Sister Hua what she thinks?" Pei Rongjin asked cautiously.
"What if she refuses outright? If she refuses outright, we won't have any room to return it in the future.
You have to know that your mother, apart from giving you a hand when you were born, has always been a hindrance to you. She shows a sour face to Lei'er every day, do you think Lei'er will accept you?"
When Lord Pei thought about the scene he saw at dinner on the day he came back, he couldn't help but get angry again.
"I can see today that Lei'er's mind is not on you."
"Sister Hua, do you like Bai Yunhe? Or Senior Brother Jing'an?" Rong Jin's voice couldn't help but become sharp again.
"That... doesn't seem to be the case." Lord Pei sighed again and said, "Let's wait and see. I'll think of a good way. We must hit the target right away, otherwise there will be no second chance.
"Alas, I see you look like a decent person, but why are you so stupid? Why are you so unpopular with Lei'er?" Old Marquis Pei began to feel sorry for his failure again.
Lord Pei, who rarely hesitated on the battlefield, also felt embarrassed for the first time. If he asked, Lei'er liked Jin'er, then it would be the best. As for Madam Han's opposition, he didn't take it seriously at all.
But what if Lei'er doesn't accept Jin'er's words because of Jin'er's mother's attitude? He can't force Lei'er to accept it.
He and her grandfather were good friends, and he was entrusted by Mr. Hua before his death. He was a trustworthy person. You can't bully a lonely sister and a widowed brother, Marquis Pei thought to himself.
"Grandfather, please write a letter to my father." Rong Jin suddenly knelt in front of Lord Pei.
Lord Pei was stunned. "You want me to write a letter to your father and ask him to divorce his wife? This... is not easy to do?"
"Grandfather, what are you thinking about? I asked you to..." Rong Jin whispered into the ear of Marquis Pei.
"That's worth a try. I'll write the letter right away." Old Marquis Pei picked up the pen and Rong Jin began to help grind the ink.
The study was quiet for a while. After a cup of tea, Lord Pei blew the ink and asked again, "Except for Qingzao and Qingsheng, no one else in the mansion knew that you instigated the beating of Han Wenbing, right? You didn't tell your grandmother either, right?"
"Yeah." Pei Rongjin nodded.
"Then keep this matter to yourself and don't tell anyone about it." Lord Pei advised.
Rong Jin nodded, paused, and then said carefully, "Grandfather, can you take advantage of this opportunity that my uncle asked you to use your connections to find a job and get both of my uncles out of Shangjing City?"
Lord Pei was stunned and looked at Rong Jin. Rong Jin swallowed his saliva and said, "Just find a county government that is about the same size. It doesn't need to be too rich, but not too poor either. Let my uncle go there to be a county magistrate. It doesn't need to be a county town too close to the border, as long as it is far away from the capital."
Lord Pei stroked his chin, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Indeed, these two families are too annoying, like a dog-skin plaster, once you get entangled with them, you can't take them off, and you can't hit or scold them.
I'll think about the method you mentioned. If we can really pack them up and put them in a county government office, that would be the best. The eldest Han can barely be a county magistrate, and the second Han can only do odd jobs."
Lord Pei thought about what the two Han brothers had done and felt that Rong Jin's suggestion was a good one. He sent them far away. Han Qingge, Han Wenbing, and the other children were all packed up and sent away. Otherwise, if Rong Jin and Lei'er fell into their trap one day, it would be too late to regret it.
Rong Jin thought about it, nodded, and said, "Grandfather, you can find a county office to the east, south, or west, but don't send it to the north, otherwise my father will be unable to get rid of it." Old Marquis Pei glanced at his grandson and nodded. Fortunately, this grandson is also a smart man, and there is someone to take over.
