How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 526: Are You Tired of Living?

Tang Zan rather enjoyed the way Pei Shu’er stood up for him; he thought that Pei Shu’er looked the most beautiful like this.

The two Commanders were intimidated by Pei Shu’er’s aura. She signaled to Lin Yu, who stepped forward to carry the corpse onto the carriage.

The Guard Commander immediately reacted, reaching out to stop him.

Tang Zan’s eyes grew cold: "Oh? Could it be that this person is somehow related to you?"

The Guard Commander dared not claim any such connection and quickly waved his hand.

"No... no relation."

Tang Zan eyed the Commander sidelong, causing him to feel a chill throughout his body, rendering him speechless.

Seeing the guards still stalling like Gate Gods, Tang Zan chuckled lightly.

"Still not letting us through?"

When he got angry, even his laugh was chilling.

The guards quickly made way, keeping their heads down and not daring to look at Tang Zan.

Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan boarded the carriage together and stayed with the corpse for quite a while.

Upon reaching the Prince Zhan Mansion, they didn’t get off, and no one dared to urge them.

An hour later, Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan finally alighted from the carriage, their expressions serious, revealing nothing.

The corpse was taken to the dungeon of the Prince Zhan Mansion by Ma Zhong. Pei Shu’er had already revived it, and it was now held in solitary confinement.

Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan also followed along.

Once there, Tang Zan dismissed Ma Zhong.

When only the two of them remained, Pei Shu’er said, "I should also release those people captured at the bottom of the cliff. Make sure to separate them when you imprison them so they can’t conspire with each other."

After saying this, Pei Shu’er added, "Also, I suspect these people might not be so simple; perhaps they’re not just connected to the Third Prince and might implicate others."

Together, ten lifeless bodies lay flat in the dungeon. Each was emaciated, with eyes tightly shut, having never opened them.

This time, even the White Tiger emerged with them. It had stayed in the space for too long, sneezing as soon as it came out.

The air outside was indeed not as good as in the space.

Pei Shu’er said, "I had no choice; I, too, have things I can’t reveal."

So she could only keep them sedated with sleeping drugs and glucose, maintaining basic vital signs and keeping them asleep.

Fortunately, the White Tiger was always in the space watching over, and as soon as it sensed they were about to wake, she would enter the space to ensure they continued to sleep.

Now that they were in the dungeon, it should be temporarily safe.

Pei Shu’er said, "Arrange a time to ask them why they were mining for iron ore and find out all the information they know about the Imperial Family. It might be useful in the future."

Even if Pei Shu’er hadn’t said it, Tang Zan would have done it.

However, he found that he rather enjoyed hearing Pei Shu’er orchestrate things, feeling that both of them were working hard together.

He nodded: "Alright."

After separating and confining the ten people, the two left, and Lin Hong was left to manage the place.

Exiting the dungeon, Tang Zan and Pei Shu’er took a stroll around the Prince Zhan Mansion together.

In just three years, the place had become overgrown with weeds, and some areas had fallen into ruin.

Additionally, because the War King was arrested under the pretense of embezzlement, some hotheads scribbled curses on the walls of the mansion.

Many tiles were smashed with stones.

So, the mansion indeed needed renovation.

This would undoubtedly cost money and require effort.

Fortunately, Tang Peiyi and Tang Peixiao were now quite familiar with the process.

When they reached the hall, they found it had already been tidied up, and several rooms were prepared for everyone to rest temporarily.

After all, just the journey from the Deserted Mountain to the Capital was two thousand miles long.

Not only physical fatigue but also mental exhaustion.

After having lunch and resting for two more hours, the servants and soldiers began to work.

Tang Peiyi and Tang Peixiao had the materials they sent people to buy gathered.

As for Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan, they walked around the mansion, instructing the servants to clear away the weeds.

Some overly rampant flowers were also pruned appropriately.

Tang Zan remained mostly silent, so Pei Shu’er hooked one of Tang Zan’s fingers with her own.

"If you’re feeling down, just tell me, alright?"

Tang Zan shook his head: "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just a feeling I can’t quite articulate."

Pei Shu’er nodded and then said: "Well, how about I grill some barbecue for you tonight?"

Tang Zan nodded, and Pei Shu’er smiled too.

With the strength of many, the mansion was transformed in just an afternoon.

Even some subsidiary courtyards were taken care of.

The snakes, insects, rats, and pests in the mansion were also dealt with, ensuring they wouldn’t affect the residants.

The maids and older women began to make the beds and put out the items arranged by Pei Shu’er. There were tables and benches, but the utensils, tea sets, and kitchenware needed replacing, so they had to be swapped for new ones.

And Pei Shu’er had plenty of new ones in her space.

There were plenty of sheets and bedding as well, which were immediately distributed under Tang Zan’s name.

While Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan had someone supervise the servants working, the two went to take a nap.

During the earlier respite, the two hadn’t rested; instead, they were busy moving things from the space out and placing them.

They needed to spend today resting at home.

After freshening up early the next morning, they were to enter the palace to express gratitude to the Emperor.

Yet everyone knew that the so-called imperial grace was merely an excuse to confine them here for easy control.

When they awoke, she summoned Yinxing in.

"Young Madam, you’re awake. Madam Pei has been here for quite a while."

Pei Shu’er put on a smile, hastening the pace of her dressing.

"Why didn’t you wake me if my mother came?"

While helping Pei Shu’er with her grooming, Yinxing softly replied.

"Young Madam indeed has a good mother. I wanted to wake you, but she said that after such a travel-worn journey, you should be allowed to wake naturally. She’s sitting in the front hall enjoying some snacks."

"Oh, and the Third Madam is accompanying her, and they’re having a rather pleasant conversation."

When Pei Shu’er reached the front hall, Shen Wanqing was sitting, enjoying snacks and chatting with Liu Xu; both were laughing beautifully.

Seeing Pei Shu’er arrive, Liu Xu left, leaving the mother and daughter to their private words.

A maid was massaging Shen Wanqing, and upon hearing footsteps, she raised her eyes to see Pei Shu’er had arrived.

When she saw Pei Shu’er, she was taken aback too.

Blinking, she confirmed that this was indeed her young lady.

"Miss, how come... how..."

How she’s become so beautiful.

She recognized this was indeed her young lady, but her young lady’s appearance used to be somewhat sharp, not the current gentle elegance.

Yet before she could vocalize her thoughts, she realized her indiscretion.

Her young lady had been gone for so long that she’d almost forgotten her sharp wit.

To speak to her young lady like this—was she courting death?
