Chapter 226 Pei Rong lifted the veil

Xie Jia suppressed her excitement and nervousness, grabbed the red silk, followed Pei Rong in front of her, and walked step by step towards the gate in front.

Housing prices in the capital are not cheap. Even a small house in a bad location costs over a thousand taels of silver.

Pei Rong spent two thousand taels of silver on this house. This was the money many wealthy families in his hometown sent him after he passed the imperial examination, and the money he saved from helping others with their homework and copying scriptures.

He also had 400 mu of land in his hometown, which was also given to him by his clansmen after he passed the imperial examination in order to avoid paying taxes. Although these lands were registered in his name, they were still managed by his clansmen.

Since he helped people exempt taxes, they naturally had to pay him tribute.

So strictly speaking, Pei Rong is not a poor scholar now. But compared to the Xie family before the incident, he can only be regarded as a small shrimp now.

Holding one end of the red silk and feeling Xie Jia behind him, Pei Rong felt quite complicated at this moment.

He took the initiative to seduce Xie Jia, originally wanting to marry an official's daughter with a generous dowry who could help him rise quickly in his official career.

However, he didn't expect that just when his plan succeeded and he was about to get engaged to Xie Jia, something big happened in her family!

Although the two are now married, Xie Jia's dowry has shrunk by 99% compared to his original estimate!

Xie Yun was also dismissed from office. Although he still had connections to help him, they were not as good as before.

If the affair between him and Xie Jia had not been rumored for a long time, and the storybook hinted at his marriage to Xie Jia, and he was afraid of offending Xie Yun, how could he have married this unruly and headstrong young lady?

Pei Rong was very unhappy, but he kept a warm smile on his face to avoid being noticed.

He pulled Xie Jia over the fire basin, and under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, they worshipped heaven, earth and their parents.

After the couple bowed to each other, he took Xie Jia to the decorated bridal chamber.

A black starling stood on a branch, its black eyes gazing intently at the two people in wedding attire.

Pei Rong's house was not big, with only two entrances. He gave the main house to his widowed mother and used the east wing as his new home with Xie Jia.

After sending Xie Jia into the bridal chamber, he gave her a few gentle instructions and then went out to entertain the guests.

Xie Jia asked the maid who came with her dowry to close the door, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't even dare to think about what Pei Rong's reaction would be when she lifted the veil and saw Xie Jia's current appearance.

I was afraid that he would cancel the engagement on the spot, turning the wedding into a complete farce.

Now that Pei Rong is out entertaining guests, it is actually a good thing for Xie Jia.

Once the guests are sent away, it won't be easy for Pei Rong to cancel the wedding.

However, Xie Jia felt that the best way was to drug Pei Rong and get through tonight.

She lifted her veil, first glanced around the room, then asked the maid quietly, "Have you arranged everything I told you to do?"

The maid lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her terrifying face, but still couldn't help but turn pale: "Don't worry, Miss, everything has been arranged. The son-in-law will definitely be drunk and unconscious!"

Xie Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But she still reminded the maid: "There can't be any mistakes in this matter."

The maid's face turned even paler, but she could only reply cautiously: "This servant understands, and will not dare to make any mistakes."

Xie Jia was finally satisfied: "I don't think you would dare!"

She snorted coldly and quickly added, "I'm starving. Send someone to bring me some food."

The maid hurried out to give orders.

She had four maids who came with her as a dowry. At this time, one was guarding outside the door, one was guarding inside the door, one was guarding the moon door connecting the inside and outside, and one was guarding Xie Jia.

As soon as Xie Jiayi said she was hungry, the maid guarding outside the door went to the kitchen to get food.

But Pei Rong’s house is not big and there are not many servants in the house.

In order to entertain the guests today, Pei Rong directly asked someone to book a table at a nearby restaurant and asked the restaurant's chef to prepare the food and deliver it directly.

So the Pei family’s kitchen rarely used fire.

Fortunately, Pei Rong ordered an extra table as a backup just in case, so he could spare some food for Xie Jia.

Not long after the maid left, she came back with a food box.

The meals are all relatively light. Xie Jia's injuries have not fully recovered yet, so he can't eat heavy-tasting food.

Unfortunately, Xie Jia lost his appetite when he saw the food brought by the maid.

It’s not that the food in the restaurant is bad, but she has been eating light meals for almost a month and is already tired of it. How can she have a good appetite now?

However, she was so hungry that she suppressed her disgust and forced herself to eat some, and gave the rest to the four maids.

She has now become a ghost, and her family has also suffered a major change.

In the future, I will have to rely on these four maids in the Pei family.

How could Xie Jia dare to be as willful as before?

The maids quickly finished their meal and then quickly guarded the door for her.

They didn't want Xie Jia to be returned.

If they stay in the Pei family, they might even become concubines in the future.

But if Xie Jia was rejected, they would have to go back with him. If Xie Jia went crazy, how could they have a good life?

It was quiet, but everyone was nervous.

She was afraid that Pei Rong would suddenly come and lift Xie Jia's veil, and she would be so angry that she would return the product on the spot.

Time passed by unknowingly in such a tense atmosphere.

In the front yard, after Pei Rong finished entertaining the guests and sent them away one after another, it was already the end of the Wei hour, which was around two to three in the afternoon.

At this time, there were only three guests left, all of whom were Pei Rong's good friends.

The three of them teased Pei Rong and gave him a lot of wine.

Pei Rong was already unhappy, and now that the other guests had left and only his close friends were left, he relaxed a lot and took the opportunity to drink to drown his sorrows.

However, he was a person who would not suffer any loss. While he was drinking, he also forced his three friends to drink a lot of wine.

The four of them clinked glasses and talked eloquently about their ambitions. Before they knew it, the sun was setting.

Seeing that it was getting late, Pei's mother heard that Pei Rong and the others were still drinking. She was worried that they would hurt themselves, so she quickly asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food and send it to the four of them.

The four of them had been drinking for a while and were feeling hungry.

So I went to drain the water and ate some food.

By this time, it was getting dark, and someone, under the influence of alcohol, said he wanted to make trouble in the bridal chamber and encouraged Pei Rong to lift the bride's veil.

Pei Rong was drunk and did not refuse. He stood up and staggered to take his three friends to the bridal chamber to make trouble.

His friends were afraid that he would fall, so they supported him all the way.

So, four drunk men came to the new house in the backyard, reeking of alcohol.

When Pei's mother heard this, she felt unhappy, but was afraid that they would cause trouble, so she quickly sent someone to watch them secretly.

When four drunken men arrived at the door of the bridal chamber, reeking of alcohol, the maid guarding the door was instantly panicked.

She subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was pushed away by a drunk man who took the opportunity to take advantage of her.

The door was locked from the inside, but it couldn't stop the four drunks.

They kicked the door open and rushed in, scaring the maid guarding inside so much that she screamed in fear, but she froze in place and didn't dare to stop them.

Soon, four drunk men broke into the inner room and came in front of Xie Jia.

The maid standing beside Xie Jia wanted to stop them, but was pulled away by a drunk man who took advantage of his drunkenness to touch her all over.

Xie Jia was so angry that she wanted to yell, but Pei Rong lifted her veil.

The four drunks looked at her face with expectant eyes.

The next second, a ghostly howling scream suddenly rang out from the bridal chamber—

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-"
