Chapter 355: cover up
??Chapter 355 Helping People Cover Up
?? "Take me to find His Highness the Third!" Pei Yi was so angry that she hurried out of the room and was led by the yamen servant to the man's residence.
??Outside the guest room, a tall and handsome man was wearing a black hat at the moment, covering his entire face, exuding an inexplicable sadness all over his body.
??Pei Yi was originally full of anger, but when she saw the man like this, she couldn't help but find it funny, and even felt a little bit of pity.
??She knew in her heart that Huo Yuan was a person who wanted to save face, and he must be wearing a bamboo hat at this moment because he didn't want others to see that he had cried—or that he was still crying.
??Pei Yi stepped forward, suppressed her anger and persuaded: "Your Highness, it's midnight, if you leave the county government now, where will you live?"
?? Huo Yuan gets angry when he sees this woman.
??He turned around and turned his back on the stinky woman, angrily said: "Leave it alone!"
??As soon as the roar came out, everyone present was stunned, and their expressions became more subtle.
??There is no other, it is because His Highness's roar is obviously crying.
??Everyone felt that they had discovered some terrible secret, so they quickly lowered their heads and pretended that they didn't know anything.
??Huo Yuan himself also realized the loophole in his voice, and suddenly felt even more ashamed and annoyed.
??He blushed, furiously ordered to the servant: "Hurry up!"
??The guards of the Prince's Mansion didn't dare to delay, they hurriedly carried their luggage and went out.
??They were really miserable, and they all desperately hoped that Mr. Pei could persuade His Highness to persuade them—it was too painful to yawn and drive in the middle of the night.
??Although Pei Yi said she was also angry, if she allowed Huo Yuan to leave the county government office tonight, it would not only be bad for her official reputation, but also bad for Huo Yuan's reputation.
??She stopped the man and persuaded him, "Kubira, you have to wait until tomorrow if you want to leave, right? It's too late now, and the inn is closed."
??She specially called Huo Yuan by his nickname, and the meaning of this truce and persuasion is really obvious.
??However, Huo Yuan felt as if he had been slapped by Pei Yi when he heard this nickname.
??He remembered how much he admired Pei Yi back then, and how angry he was now.
??He felt like a clown, being played and applauded by this stinky woman, Pei Yi, and he was ashamed!
??Huo Yuan was furious, choked with sobs and scolded angrily: "Don't call me King Kubera! You don't deserve it!"
??After saying that, he suddenly pushed away Pei Jiasanlang who was standing in front of him, and left angrily.
??Pei Yi didn't notice it for a while, and was pushed by the man to stagger a step, and almost fell to the ground.
??She couldn't help but burst into anger, and she didn't bother to care about this angry man anymore.
??Seeing this situation, all the guards didn't dare to make a sound, and quickly took their luggage to catch up with their highness.
??The next day.
?? There are rumors in the county government.
??Everyone whispered.
?? "I heard that the third prince left crying last night."
?? "Crying? No way?"
?? "It's absolutely true! I was right there at the time, and I heard the third prince cry with my own ears."
?? "Really? Why is the Third Prince crying?"
?? "I don't know. Mr. Pei couldn't persuade him even if we tried to persuade him, the third prince had to cry and leave."
?? "This... Could it be that Mr. Pei bullied the third prince?"
?? "How is this possible? The third prince came to inspect our Wanshou County this time, and it was too late for Mr. Pei to curry favor with him, so how could he be angry with the third prince?"
?? "Then how do you explain that the Third Prince left crying?"
"what are you guys saying?"
??A cold voice suddenly sounded.
??The people who were discussing were silent for a moment.
?? Qisha glanced at the group of yamen servants, and warned in a cold voice: "The government does not leave anyone who chews their tongues."
??Everyone was drenched in cold sweat, like a quail, not daring to speak any more.
?? Qisha turned and went to the study.
??The sunlight fell on the window lattice of the study room, and then crawled all the way to the foot of the desk by the window.
??Behind the desk, the county magistrate in a light green official uniform was looking down at the files, his cheeks were quiet and beautiful in the daylight.
?? "Third Master." Qi Sha saluted.
??Pei Yi raised her head, gave a faint "hmm" and looked down at the file again.
?? It's not that she treats Qi Sha indifferently, but that this is how Qi Sha comes to say hello on weekdays, and then stands aside to watch her quietly, or find a book to sit and read quietly by herself.
??However, Pei Yi still felt a little strange.
?? These days, whenever there are no outsiders present, Qi Sha always calls her "Sanlang"—for example, when they are alone in the study, he often calls her that.
??But today, Qi Sha is politely calling her "Third Master"—although there is nothing wrong with the etiquette, she always feels a little alienated.
??Although Pei Yi had these doubts, she was not in a hurry to ask Qi Sha for questioning, so as not to appear too sensitive.
??In the other room, after Qisha saluted, he took a copy of "Tiger Seal Classic" from the bookshelf that he hadn't finished reading yet.
??He silently turned a few pages, and saw the county magistrate beside him suddenly stop to rest.
??Qi Sha hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Third Lord, I heard from the yamen servant that the third prince ... left the county yamen in tears last night?"
??Pei Yi felt embarrassed.
??She knew that this matter would spread wildly in the mansion, and if she didn't control it quickly, such news would spread quickly throughout Wanshou County.
?? You must know that the dignified prince of a country, and the status of an imperial envoy, ended up crying and ran away from the county government in the middle of the night. This kind of anecdote is really unheard of.
?? When the time comes, this naive man will lose face directly in front of the people of the whole county.
??Pei Yi sighed annoyed.
??She and Huo Yuan's quarrel is a quarrel, but this alliance has to continue, and she naturally cannot make Huo Yuan so embarrassing in the eyes of others.
?? Taking a step back, even if the alliance relationship between Huo Yuan and her is broken, she must be kind - after all, Huo Yuan helped her, how could she embarrass Huo Yuan?
??However, many people have "heard" the fact that Huo Yuan cried. If she denies it, it will arouse people's speculation. If she forcibly uses her power to threaten others not to mention this matter, there may be more rumors.
??Pei Yi thought of the files she had read in the past few days, and quickly had a solution in her mind.
She smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "Your Highness is really sincere about the people's livelihood and society. I just told him last night that there was a famine in Wanshou County last year. As a result, although white clay is edible, it is not easy to digest, and some people even swelled to death because of it.”
"His Royal Highness was worried about the people. Hearing the tears here, he said that night he would leave the county office to find out. His Highness said that since Wanshou County suffered from famine last year, it is not very rich this year. As a prince, he should serve the people. How can you be popular in the county government if you are looking for welfare?"
