Chapter 27 Taking Out His Anger on Wen Zongji
Wangchunlou had been booked by Wu Fengyuan, and the old woman sent by Pei Rujing could not get in, but Changdong and a group of servants were waiting near the entrance.
Chang Dong, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized this person as someone from Pei Rujing's entourage and quickly walked over to ask, "What are your orders, Princess?"
The old woman said, "The county princess had a dispute with the fourth young lady of the Duke of Anguo's mansion at Yunxiu Workshop. She has now returned to the Princess's mansion. Granny Feng sent this old servant to inform the young master."
Chang Dong nodded: "I'll go tell the young master."
Wen Zongji was marveling at how the top student truly lived up to his reputation; things that he couldn't understand could be explained clearly in just a few words.
Lu Nian'an was a very serious person. He was willing to help Wen Zongji resolve his doubts, so he explained everything clearly.
After exchanging ideas, Lu Nian'an said, "Brother Wen has an excellent foundation and his own insights into policy essays. However, he is lacking in the area of legal judgments. He can take a look at the 'Chu Law' and the cases that have been tested."
The second session of the imperial examination will present a case study, requiring candidates to provide a judgment based on the Chu Law. This will test the candidates' understanding of basic legal principles.
The original owner was not good at this, and Wen Zongji's thinking in later generations did not fully understand the current laws, so the judgments were always not well written.
Lu Nian'an discovered this, which is why he gave Wen Zongji this advice.
Wen Zongji cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Lu. I will keep it in mind."
The New Year is just around the corner, and the imperial examination will be just around the corner after the New Year. Naturally, we should focus on improving our weaknesses.
I was thinking that after the party, I would go to the bookstore and buy some books related to the law.
At this moment, Changdong ran over and whispered the old woman's words to Wen Zongji.
Wen Zongji frowned slightly.
The fact that Pei Rujing was so angry that she returned to the Princess's residence shows that the conflict was quite significant.
Wen Zongji said apologetically, "Brother Lu, I have some personal matters to attend to and need to leave first. I will remember your kindness in answering my questions today and will definitely thank you properly another day."
Lu Nian'an smiled and said, "Brother Wen, please make yourself at home."
Afterwards, Wen Zongji went to say goodbye to Wen Zongjing.
Wen Zongjing didn't ask any further questions, only whether he would come back.
Wen Zongji shook his head: "I promised the county princess that I would have dinner at the princess's residence. Please trouble your second brother to tell our mother when you get back."
"it is good."
After everything was arranged, Wen Zongji left Wangchun Tower. Standing at the door, Wen Zongji suddenly realized that Pei Rujing had taken the carriage away, and he had no carriage to ride in.
"Changdong, go to the nearby carriage shop and rent a carriage."
Wen Zongji rubbed his temples and quickly made arrangements.
"Yes."
Chang Dong quickly left.
……
By the time Wen Zongji arrived at the Princess's residence, it was almost lunchtime.
The gatekeeper knew this was the son-in-law and did not stop him. He prepared a sedan chair for him while sending someone to inform the princess.
The eldest princess was making arrangements for her visit to the palace the next day when she learned that Wen Zongji had arrived. She then had someone take him to see Pei Rujing.
As for Pei Shirong, it wasn't a day off, so after comforting Pei Rujing for a while, he decided to teach the An family a lesson and then returned to his post at the yamen.
Pei Rujing stayed in her boudoir before her marriage, with exquisite pastries and fruits laid out in front of her, but she had no interest in them at all. The humiliation and anger from An Qingyan's mockery had not yet completely dissipated.
Led by a servant, Wen Zongji arrived at Pei Rujing's boudoir. When Granny Feng saw Wen Zongji enter, she smiled and said, "Princess, your son-in-law has arrived."
Pei Rujing looked up and saw Wen Zongji. Her expression turned cold, and she threw the teacup beside her at Wen Zongji.
Wen Zongji's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively dodged to the side.
Teacups shattered at his feet.
Everyone's expression changed drastically: "Princess of the County—"
Pei Rujing remained silent, simply throwing whatever was at her hand at Wen Zongji.
dessert!
Fruits!
And the cushions on the tatami!
In no time, the floor of the inner room was a complete mess, with barely any place to stand.
Wen Zongji looked at Pei Rujing calmly: "Princess, is that enough?"
These words ignited the anger that Pei Rujing had been suppressing: "It's all because of you! If it weren't for your lowly status, being just a son of a concubine, how could I have been humiliated by An Si!"
"Get out! Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
Granny Feng hurriedly said, "Princess, Miss An is deliberately trying to anger you. Don't fall into her trap!"
Then she comforted Wen Zongji, saying, "Son-in-law, the county princess was just angry; she didn't mean what she said."
Wen Zongji ignored Granny Feng, picked up a vase at random, its intricate patterns clearly indicating it was no ordinary item.
The next moment, Wen Zongji loosened his grip, and the vase fell to the ground!
Snapped--
It shattered into pieces!
Pei Rujing was startled and blinked rapidly several times.
Granny Feng and the others were also stunned.
Wen Zongji remained expressionless: "If the county princess is not satisfied, I can fall down with you."
After saying that, he picked up a vase and smashed it on the ground with a "crack".
Another pile of debris appeared on the ground.
Pei Rujing's heart skipped a few beats.
"A teacup is so small, it's no fun to smash. It's much more exciting to smash a vase. Why doesn't Your Highness give it a try?"
Wen Zongji walked up to Pei Rujing with a vase and handed it to her.
Pei Rujing subconsciously took a few steps back.
She had no time to be angry anymore. She was a little intimidated by Wen Zongji's demeanor and turned to look at Granny Feng with pleading in her eyes.
Granny Feng couldn't understand Wen Zongji's thoughts: "Young Master—"
Wen Zongji glanced over indifferently: "Can't you see I have something to say to the county princess? Get out!"
Since their marriage, Wen Zongji has always been gentle and has never been cold to his servants.
This was truly the first time Granny Feng had ever seen anything like it.
Granny Feng always made sure to maintain Wen Zongji's dignity in front of the servants, and this time was no exception.
"yes!"
He led everyone away.
Pei Rujing wanted to ask Granny Feng to stay, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
Wen Zongji handed the vase to Pei Rujing again: "Princess, aren't you going to break it?"
Pei Rujing pursed her lips and said stiffly, "I'm tired."
Snapped--
No sooner had he finished speaking than the vase in Wen Zongji's hand broke again.
Pei Rujing was caught off guard and startled again.
Wen Zongji walked to the couch and sat down: "Tell me, what exactly happened that made you take your anger out on me?"
He left the party early to find Pei Rujing, but almost got hit in the face with a teacup. His little wife's bad temper just won't go away.
Upon hearing this, Pei Rujing's gaze towards him was tinged with anger once again.
"What, do you need me to help the county princess smash everything in this house first, and then we can have a proper chat?"
The anger vanished instantly.
Pei Rujing didn't want to admit that she had backed down, so she turned her head away from Wen Zongji: "...An Si's family background is not as good as mine, and her two older brothers are not as good as my eldest and second brothers either. Every time we meet, I am the one who gives her the upper hand."
"But this time, it's because of you that An Si had the opportunity to mock me. I've never suffered such humiliation!"
"It's all your fault!"
Pei Rujing added another sentence.
It's as if doing so makes them look more respectable.
