I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

225 What Is Pei Qian Doing?!

Lin Suisui was woken up early in the morning by knocking.

Although the house they were living in now wasn’t as spacious as the General’s residence, it was still a very good place. Their neighbors were more or less prestigious families living in Cloud Mountain City.

Therefore, they had always been quiet and didn’t disturb each other. This was the first time there was such a commotion!

“What’s going on outside?!”

Lin Suisui rubbed her groggy head and looked up at Bai Guo, who was pulling up the bed curtain. She muttered gloomily, “It sounds like they’re demolishing a house.”

“They’re dismantling the wall in the backyard.” Bai Guo smiled and replied in a low voice, “They want to connect our house with the neighboring house.”

“Isn’t our house fine? Why do they have to build a new house?!” Lin Suisui yawned and slowly got up from the bed. When she heard Bai Guo’s words, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“It was instructed by Mr. Pei. He said that it would be more convenient this way.”

Bai Guo walked over to the dressing table and picked up a comb to brush Lin Suisui’s hair. Lin Suisui, who was rinsing her mouth, was caught off guard and choked.

“Cough, cough, cough, who are you talking about?! Doesn’t Mr. Pei live in the general’s residence in the north? When did he move next door?!” Lin Suisui put down the cup in her hand anxiously. As she took the handkerchief from Bai Guo to wipe her hands, she continued to ask Bai Guo about this matter.

...

“I’m not sure either. The family head instructed us about this in the morning. Not long after, the craftsmen over there began to smash the wall.” Bai Guo tilted her head and thought for a moment before telling Lin Suisui what she knew.

What was Pei Qian doing?!

Lin Suisui was baffled, but despite her curiosity, she didn’t go over to investigate the situation. She had other things to deal with today!

After breakfast, Lin Suisui, Yuan Niang, and Bai Guo got into the carriage and left.

Lin Suisui had to check on the medical officers’ health first before turning around to see where the shop Pei Qian had bought was.

It had snowed heavily last night. When the carriage was on the road, they could hear the creak of the wheels pressing against the thin snow on the ground. Lin Suisui was discussing with Yuan Niang if they should measure this new shop together when the carriage suddenly stopped.

“What happened?!”

Bai Guo turned her head warily and asked Su Le through the curtain.

“There’s someone blocking the way outside.” Su Le suppressed his voice and quickly reported, “I think it’s the Ma family.”

The mounted guards behind Su Le quickly went forward to protect the carriage, blocking the people opposite them.

“Madam, my master wants to invite you to the teahouse at the side for a chat.” The other party didn’t stop the carriage to cause trouble. A maidservant in light clothes came forward and bowed slightly to Lin Suisui’s carriage as she spoke respectfully.

...

As the saying went, one should not slap a smiling person. Yuan Niang glanced at Lin Suisui, then opened the curtains. She smiled and said, “Then if she doesn’t want to talk to your madam, will you let us leave?!”

The maidservant didn’t expect such a reply. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Suisui’s carriage. Following her movements, the servants from the Ma family who came to help block the way followed her and knelt on the ground in front of Lin Suisui’s carriage.

“Please have mercy on us. We’ve been ordered by Madam to invite you. If you refuse to come, we’ll definitely be punished by Madam.”

As the female servant spoke, she was already crying pitifully.

“Let’s go take a look.” Lin Suisui thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

According to what Lu Ze had told her yesterday about Madam Ma, Lin Suisui was quite curious. At this moment, Madam Ma probably had something to say.

Madam Ma was in a teahouse beside Lin Suisui’s carriage.

Mrs. Ma had cleared the entire second floor of the teahouse.

Lin Suisui was accompanied by Yuan Niang. Under the protection of Bai Guo and Yin Qiao, she slowly walked into the private room where Ma Deng was.

“Madam Gu, I invited you over today because I have a favor to ask.”

When Ma Deng saw Lin Suisui enter, she didn’t exchange pleasantries with her. She didn’t even make any polite arrangements like serving tea. She raised her hand slightly and gestured for Lin Suisui to look at a small bag on the table.

...

“I want you to be magnanimous and let my son Xiuzhu off!

Here is everything your husband wants to know about the Ma family. All these years, all the Ma family’s connections in the north have been recorded!

I only want to use these to exchange for my son’s life!”

Madam Ma looked at Lin Suisui. Without waiting for her to speak, she continued, “I know you understand what I mean! If you don’t believe me, at least you should believe Yuan Niang beside you!

I only have one son and one daughter. My daughter is already married and has a stable foothold in her husband’s family. My only son has been spoiled by me!

I know that overly indulgent mothers spoil children, but there’s no medicine for regret in this world! It’s useless to say that now.

If you can let my son off, I’m willing to bring him out of Cloud Mountain City and go to the Frigid Cloud Temple outside the city to cultivate! We won’t take half a step into Cloud Mountain City again!”

“Madam, I can’t make a decision for my husband on this matter. Moreover, I don’t think you can get off easy!” Lin Suisui stared at Madam Ma for a long time before saying slowly, “Madam, you’re a rare smart person, but don’t treat everyone as fools!

This move of yours is indeed brilliant!

But why?!

How many evil deeds have the Ma family done in Cloud Mountain City? Do you need me to tell you all of them one by one?! Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about the recent ones!

...

Why did your good son get taken away by my husband? Have you forgotten so quickly?!

If not for the fact that I had the confidence to fight against your backer, would you have lowered yourself to meet me today?!

What right do you have to let bygones be bygones just by showing some remorse?!

If every evil person can escape unscathed like you, Madam, wouldn’t those victims who were ruined by you and your son wail and scold the heavens for being unfair?!”
