Everyone knows that Pei Xingyuan is a free-spirited and unrestrained person, and he doesn't spare others with his words. However, when he's injured and still says he "asked for it," you can see how guilty he feels. His face turns red even before he starts speaking.
At this point, Yu Wenye also returned to his seat, indicated to the seat next to him, and said in a deep voice, "Sit down and explain yourself."
Pei Xingyuan silently walked over and sat down. He looked up at the three of them and then spoke softly, "Actually, I didn't mean it. That day, I was coming back from handling things at the Ministry of Revenue. The weather was nice, and the news of your great victory arrived. I was happy and decided not to take a carriage, thought I'd take a walk on my own..."
Shen Wuzheng said, "Get to the point."
Pei Xingyuan said, "I'm getting there, almost there."
