The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 107

? “I wonder if my mother invited my daughter-in-law to come, but something?”

After Shen Yiyao saluted, she stood still about two meters away from the bed.

“You mean I can’t call you if I’m fine?”

Since that time of fainting, the old lady’s speech has become a little vague, but she can still hear it more clearly, even if it is a little vague, she can understand the meaning of it.

Seeing the old lady talking so aggressively, Mrs. Pei hurriedly smiled and said, “Your mother didn’t mean that. She felt sorry for your busy days. Isn’t it? Everyone is pointing at you. !”

The old lady almost lost her breath when she heard her sister-in-law misinterpret her meaning.

Just about to say something, Mrs. Pei secretly squeezed her, only then did she remember that she was asking someone to do something, and she closed her mouth angrily.

Yan Yan was a little impatient, but she wanted to laugh at this moment, so she asked the maid to move two embroidered piers, and sat to see which drama these two were singing, Shen Yiyao also let her sit down.

Old Madam Pei smiled and exchanged some gossip with Shen Yiyao. She praised Yan Yan for her good looks and asked when it was the wedding date. She babbled a lot of things before she started sighing and tearing about what happened recently at home. Things come.

In fact, Shen Yiyao is generally aware of what happened in Pei’s family. It’s just that she is a junior and it’s not easy to question anything, she can only treat it as ignorance. Mrs. Pei was willing to say, she sat aside and listened quietly.

At the end, Mrs. Pei’s expression became excited, “My aunt knows that this is an offense. If they want anything, they can just say it, why should it be so! But I don’t know which family has offended, so they want to bully our orphans all over the house. Widowed mother.”

Mrs. Pei held the veil and kept wiping tears. Shen Yiyao sat aside with low eyebrows pleasing to the eye, but said nothing, not even a word of comfort.

Mrs. Pei was crying while looking at the old lady with her eyes.

The old lady turned her a look and said that this trick was not working. Her sister-in-law had to ‘moved with affection’, so she’s crippled now.

She looked at Shen Yiyao, curled her lips and said, “This is not someone else, it’s your aunt. Your uncle just went there because of a bad fate. Now you have encountered difficulties in the mansion. You go back to your natal house and let the town’s father take care of it. Who is so courageous to do this intimidating thing at the feet of the emperor.”

Shen Yiyao paused, she raised her head, first expressed her sympathy with a worried face, and then asked the details of the situation before she came up with an idea.

“I think my aunt can take the dead cat to Shuntian Mansion. The mother-in-law is right. Whoever is this old, dares to do this threatening thing at the feet of the emperor.”

“I can’t do it, I can’t do it!” After the old lady waved her hand repeatedly, she sighed: “It is definitely not an ordinary person who dared to do this. Now your uncle is dead, and the family has no one to rely on, how dare you make a fuss. pack.”

“But isn’t there any way to clean up now?”

Yan Yan said this.

What did you do earlier?

Now that I have a tacit understanding with others, I stay at home behind closed doors, and the women are torn apart, and they are actually involved in the affairs of the court. Isn’t it all right to die!

Yan Yan knew without thinking that the person behind Wu Shangshu must have made the move. As a high-ranking official in the six books, Wu Shangshu could be the person behind him. It is conceivable that he is not a simple one.

Mrs. Pei was so embarrassed by these words that she said that the woman in the family was wrong, but the Wu family was really deceiving!

In fact, Mrs. Pei also has grievances against the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. If it weren’t for the two girls of the Yan family, things would not have progressed to this situation. But who would have thought that it was just a momentary dispute between a few girls, which would actually trigger a big case that shocked the entire capital, and even the six high-ranking officials, Wu Shangshu, would be implicated and dismissed.

Naturally, she would not complain about what Pei Jiayu did. In her cognition, the Pei family was just a victim of the struggle between the Wu family and Zhen Guo Gong and Weiyuan Hou Mansion. Therefore, she had never thought about coming to Weiyuanhou’s Mansion before, but this time she was really forced to do nothing.

“Your aunt asked you for help. What are you trying to do? If you can report to Shuntian Mansion, you will still use it?” The old lady’s tone was very bad.

Mrs. Pei didn’t know, but the old lady herself knew that she and Shen Yiyao were already in love with each other, and sometimes she couldn’t even do it. Before Mrs. Pei encouraged her to come to Shen Yiyao, she already had a measure in her heart: Shen Yiyao is not the sleek she was learning now. If she wants her to take over this matter, she can still suppress others with her identity and power. . As for whether Shen Yiyao has any grievances in her heart, it doesn’t matter what she thinks, the relationship is already like this anyway.

I haven’t seen such an attitude of asking for help, and Shen Yiyao almost sees the old lady’s mentality of breaking the jar.

“Mother-in-law and aunt also value Yiyao too much, and Yiyao is just a back house woman, how can she intervene in this kind of thing.” Her tone was still so soft, but her words were not soft at all, “Please forgive me. Forgive me, my aunt, my daughter-in-law is really helpless.”

The old lady didn’t seem to hear the refusal in her words, and said: “I didn’t say that you should do it yourself. You go back to your natal house and let the town’s official do it.”

This mouthful of “Let Zhen Guo Gong” speak as if Zhen Guo Gong is a laborer who relies on strength to eat on the street. Anyone can make a call.

Yan Yan originally reported her attitude towards watching the show, but now she frowned, “Grandma said it is light, since it’s so cheap, why not do it yourself!”

“You girl, I’m talking to your mother, what are you talking about? Is there any kind of inferiority?”

Yan Yan didn’t want to break with the old woman in front of outsiders, she pulled Shen Yiyao and walked out: “Mother, let’s go, we can’t help with this, nor can Grandpa.”

The old lady’s face suddenly darkened.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly stood up, took Shen Yiyao’s hand, and said: “Nephew and daughter-in-law, don’t listen to your mother-in-law. She is sick and has her mind. You also know that people who are ill always have temperaments. It’s more irritable than ordinary people, you adults don’t care about the villains, don’t care about her.”

The old lady was so obsolete by this, she almost couldn’t catch her breath.

“If you don’t look at anything, it’s just that our master is Ting’er’s uncle. As the saying goes,’The biggest is the uncle’, you also have to help with this relationship. Your uncle is gone. If this goes on, our Pei family may just It’s all gone.”

Mrs. Pei seemed to be really anxious. She held Shen Yiyao’s hand like this for more than half of her age, and started crying bitterly.

Shen Yiyao was embarrassed: “Auntie, Yiyao is really helpless, not **** away.”

“You must have a way. Your Shen family is a famous family for generations, and you can speak in front of your majesty. As long as Mr. Zhen Guo has a word, our family will definitely be fine. Nephew and daughter-in-law, even if my aunt begs you, or me I’m kneeling for you—”

With that, Mrs. Pei knelt to the ground. Shen Yiyao was shocked, and Yan Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help, abruptly helping Mrs. Pei up.

“Uncle grandma, don’t you do this to jeopardize my mother’s birthday!”

Yan Yan sneered at the corners of her mouth and said, “Let’s tell you so, you seem to have not figured out the situation so far. Why did the Wu family marry your family’s daughter? Your family should be very clear. Since it is clear that the matter is causing a lot of trouble, why? I can’t help my mouth and spread it out! Okay, let’s not talk about it. The imperial fraud has been a major event in the past dynasties. Have you ever wondered why your uncle and grandfather were just dismissed from office? You must think it’s someone. Protect him, since someone protects him, who is this person? You must think it is Wu Shangshu!”

“You must know that in the situation at that time, Wu Shangshu himself was worried. Even if he had the ability, he would not do too much to avoid suspicion. Then you can imagine that someone behind Wu Yi must help him! Wu Yi is a top official in the six books and can be him. Who will be behind? There are probably not many in the world, right. And those few people, do you think our town government may be able to provoke it?”

Even if you can afford to provoke it, it is impossible to provoke it for you. Whoever is free to get lice on himself! What’s more, how old are you? If you want to hire someone, you know to pretend to be pitiful and behave. By the way, there is another person who uses his identity to overpower others!

Yan Yan didn’t forget that the few people she hated the most were related to the Pei family. First, the Aunt Pei who lived and died in Qingpu Temple, and then Yan Qian, and the Pei Yan who relied on the old and sold the old.

Mrs. Pei weakened and collapsed to the ground, her face as gray as death.

She didn’t even dare to think of the few people that even the Lord Zhen Guo couldn’t offend…

“You **** girl, don’t help if you don’t want to help, where are so many sets!” The old lady scolded and hurriedly called the girl to help her sister-in-law.

Taking advantage of the gap, Yan Yan took Shen Yiyao and left.

When I went out, I ran into Yan Ting at the door, and I don’t know how much Yan Ting heard.

He glanced at Shen Yiyao with complicated eyes, then brushed over and went inside. From here, he could hear the cry of the old lady Pei as if the whole family died, and the old lady and Yan Ting whispered persuasion.

“Mother, let’s go.”

Shen Yiyao nodded.

The mother and daughter did not stop, leaving the cry inside far behind.

Mrs. Pei couldn’t stop crying, and the old lady wiped two tears, and said: “Second, do you mean that dead girl is true? The Pei family really has to offend someone who can’t afford to offend?”

Yan Ting’s face was clear, and after a long silence, he nodded.

After he left, he remembered that his mother couldn’t hold back the excitement. He was afraid that what his aunt said would make the mother’s condition worse, so he turned back. He didn’t expect to see the scene just now.

The old lady also started to become anxious, “What can I do? What can I do?!”

She is really anxious. The Pei family now has the blood of her brother. If something really happens, how can she be worthy of the dead brother!

Thinking of the elder brother who died outside and helpless, waiting for his descendants to pick him back, the old lady’s heart was full of unstoppable colic.

She covered her heart, her mouth was big, her face flushed as if she couldn’t breathe.

Seeing this horror, Yan Ting hurriedly took the medicine from the cabinet on the side and served the old lady to take it down. After that, it was pouring water again, and it was smooth, and the old lady was relieved.

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, then she covered her old face and started crying, crying for her poor brother!

“This is how to do ah……”

The old lady’s hands were exposed with blue veins, skinny and wrinkles on her face. I don’t know when, the old lady with fine skin and tender flesh disappeared and became old, just like an old woman in twilight.

Yan Ting couldn’t bear to witness it, and couldn’t help saying: “Mother, don’t worry, my son will find a way.”

“What can you do, you can’t even provoke Zhen Guo Duke, my son, how can you afford to provoke it! This is to make our Pei family extinct!”

“Mother, you forgot. Your son also has a backer. Don’t panic. Your son will go out to find out who the Pei family has offended, and see if you can think of a way.”

The old lady remembered that her son was from Concubine Xu’s side, and the Lord Zhen Guo couldn’t afford to provoke him. Maybe Xu Gui concubine could provoke him? This thought made her as if she had caught a life-saving straw, she tightly squeezed Yan Ting’s hand, and repeatedly said that Yan Ting must find a way to come out, but she shouldn’t let Pei Jia die.

Yan Ting looked at the anxious old lady, but couldn’t even speak clearly.

He closed his eyes sharply and nodded slowly.

…

How can such a difficult step go out easily?

Yan Ting was between contradictions and struggles, and a major event happened on the second day.

Pei’s family is dead.

It was the third master of Pei’s third room who died.

Early in the morning, screams hovered above the hospital in the third room.

The Pei family flocked and found that Pei Sanye had died in the study. After the book case, he was sitting awkwardly, with a smile on his face, but he was bleeding from seven holes and couldn’t catch his eyes.

On the book table, under the inkstone table, pressed a piece of handwriting with Pei Sanye’s handwriting on it, with two lines of words written in a few words, roughly saying that there is no love for life, so he asked for his own death.

In other words, Sanye Pei is short-sighted?

The whole Pei family didn’t believe it. You must know that Sanye Pei had a lot of trouble with the second master of the second room yesterday for the separation of the family. The two brothers almost didn’t fight when they didn’t agree. How could it be that they missed each other overnight!

Everyone couldn’t help turning their eyes to Pei Er.

Pei Er’s eyes were muddy, and he looked like a wine-colored heart.

In fact, it is true. Among Pei Nan’s three sons, that is, Pei Er is the least promising. I used to worry about my father’s presence before, and he was slightly restrained. Since Pei Nan was dismissed from office and exiled, he has been like a wild horse running out of office.

Most of the internal strife in Pei’s family these days is because of him. He owed a large sum of money to the gambling house, and the debt collector from the gambling house came to collect the debt and pressed the IOU printed by Pei’s second hand, which made everyone in the Pei family shocked. It turned out that Pei Er actually borrowed money from the gambling shop, which was more than ten thousand taels in total. Because he has been in arrears, Ligunli now has to pay nearly thirty thousand taels.

Thirty thousand taels? !

It’s natural to change the Pei’s family before, but after Shi Lang’s exile and sitting in the mountains in recent years, it is estimated that you need to smash the pot and sell the iron to make up enough. This is why Pei San wants to split the family. Now it’s a dead end, can’t drag the whole family to accompany him to death.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Pei Er shook his hands in a panic, “Whatever you do! He is my brother, even if he and me quarrel, I can’t do this to him. What’s more, I was yesterday. I’ve been in my yard, I’ve never been to the third room here!”

This is also true, Pei Er has always been stern and courageous, otherwise Pei San is the younger brother, and he can’t make trouble.

Mrs. Pei also testified to her husband, “Yesterday, the third master and the second master were making a fuss, and the second master never went out. I was originally in the main room, but after a bit of argument with me, I went to Aunt Rong.”

Aunt Rong also nodded and said yes, saying that the second master hadn’t left her, and she had just gotten up from the bed when she came here before. The two maids in Aunt Rong’s room also came out to testify, and they really had nothing to do with the second master.

So who on earth was this murderer?

Pei Er seemed to think of something, and suddenly trembled, and his teeth fought straight up and down, “Could it be the person who sent the dead cat…”

After a period of silence, crying and screaming suddenly sounded, and everyone’s faces were ashamed, shaking like chaff.

“This is going to kill the whole family of our Pei family!”

Mrs. Pei let out a cry of blood and weeping, turned her eyes and fainted.

…

Mrs. Pei once again stepped onto the gate of Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

She cried all the way and rushed into Rong’an Hall with an unstoppable force. When he arrived in front of the old lady, he threw himself to the ground and knelt.

“Sister, San’er is dead, our Pei family is going to die out…”

The old lady couldn’t stand the irritation and fainted again. When she woke up, she couldn’t even speak, so she could only watch Yan Ting cry with her old eyes open.

“Mother, don’t worry, I must find a way to protect Pei’s house.”

***

“You came?”

Yan Ting stiffened and nodded.

His mood now is beyond words.

He was never a noble person, but now he has to face things he never wanted to face for others. In fact, it’s not someone else. If he thinks about it, it doesn’t matter if the uncle’s family doesn’t need it, it has nothing to do with him if he is dead. But he knew his mother’s heart knot, even if Yan Ting could be unfaithful to everyone in the world, he could not ignore his mother alone.

“It’s a rare visitor, why does Wei Yuanhou think of me today!”

Yan Ting’s breath was short, “You don’t need to irritate me with words, I have something to say when I came to you!”

Sitting behind the book desk, Xu Xiangrong wears a brocade robe with dark indigo patterns and a white jade crown on his head. He is reserved and honorable. He has an ordinary face, but he has an extraordinary aura. Just sitting there makes people dare not take it lightly.

He raised his hand slightly, with a graceful gesture, “Sit down and speak.”

Yan Ting sat on a square chair against the wall on the left side of the book case, and someone came up to offer tea. Xu Xiangrong picked up the tea bowl and flicked the powdered tea with the lid of the bowl, the smoke lingered, making his face indistinct.

“Are you looking for something at Pei’s house?”

Xu Xiangrong listened for a moment, then chuckled. He put down the tea cup and nodded frankly, “Yes.”

“What do you need, I can go and tell Pei family, let them take the initiative to hand it over, can you let them go?” Yan Ting’s face was stiff, and it was rather difficult to say.

“why?”

“Don’t say you don’t know that Pei’s family is my uncle’s family!” For some reason, Yan Ting’s tone was a little aggressive.

“Pei’s family is your uncle’s family?”

First of all, Xu Xiangrong really didn’t know, and then he heard that the following person reported that Yan Ting came out for Pei Nan’s affairs, and then he knew that there was such a relationship.

This made him couldn’t help being overjoyed.

“Let’s not say that I never cared about these trivial things. I ordered the people below to do it. That’s the case, why should I let Pei’s family go because of these? You know that this group of ignorant ants made me harm Wu Yi, You don’t know what Wu Yi means to us, do you?”

Yan Ting’s face suddenly became ugly.

The air stagnated for an instant, and Yan Ting was extremely embarrassed. He was about to get up, and Xu Xiangrong’s voice changed. “It’s not impossible to let them go, but I need a reason for me to convince myself. Can you give me this reason? ”

He grinned, looking at Yan Ting, his eyes were full of promise.

“You mean…”

Xu Xiangrong waved his hand and interrupted, “I thought you should have known long ago. I have always been sordid. What I want, even if I use all means, I must get it!”

He stood up, walked in front of Yan Ting, and said in a low voice, “Do you know? You are hiding from me during this period, which makes me very unhappy!”

He leaned down halfway, and touched Yan Ting’s face.

Yan Ting avoided it reflexively, but it was a pity that he was below and Xu Xiangrong was above, and he was trapped in this place. How could he avoid it. Xu Xiangrong’s hand still touched his face, he rubbed it gently, and Yan Ting felt nauseous.

“you lost weight……”

…

Yan Ting didn’t leave this private house until it got dark.

Just as he was about to mount the horse, a man came over and handed him a cloak.

“Master Yan, the cloak that Shi Ziye asked the young man to bring you, it was cold and windy. Shi Ziye asked the young man to prepare a carriage. Would you like to take a carriage?”

Yan Ting’s movements were stagnant, and his humiliation and anger almost didn’t overwhelm him.

He didn’t even care about the person, and galloped away when he got on the horse, and there was an embarrassment between his behavior and behavior that he hadn’t noticed.

Aunt Lan hasn’t seen Yan Ting for a long time.

Today, she is like an invisible person in Weiyuanhou’s Mansion. Apart from bringing the five young masters in Chengri, she stays at home.

She was like duckweed, helpless. I suffered a big loss from my wife, and then I knew who could provoke and who could not provoke. The wife never paid attention to her, and she could only hold Yan Ting, hoping to have a place to shelter her.

The woman who treats others in Israel naturally knows how to please men. These days, Yan Ting’s business is busy, so she boiled soup every day and sent them to him. Lord Hou has been quiet here, and her heart is getting worried. Today I heard about Yegang Hou. When I came back in the study, I came with a soup supplement.

The servants knew that Auntie Lan had a face in front of Master Hou, but did not stop her.

Aunt Lan smiled softly, and as soon as she walked in, an inkstone smashed under her feet, splashing her with thick black ink.

“Master Yan——”

“roll!”

Aunt Lan was so frightened that she fell into Man’er’s arms behind her. The two did not even dare to lift their heads and walked away with each other’s support.

…

The next day, Yan Ting went to Pei’s house in person.

After seeing Mrs. Pei, I asked her for something.

Mrs. Pei ordered the whole family to dig through the boxes and close the cabinet, and then found him.

If she had known that she was looking for this thing, she would have taken it out already.

But who would have thought that what the man actually wanted was a Buddhist scripture? !

Yan Ting didn’t know what was in this ugly Buddhist scripture. He even flipped it twice in his hand and found nothing. Since the man told himself that it was, he found it and gave it to him.

It turned out that Pei Nan was quite scheming. This time he was taken out to commit the crime and ended up in exile. The reason why Wu Shangshu would protect him was that he had revealed that he had the handle of the other party in his hand.

Including the two following marriages, it was just for the heart of Pei Nan Anyuan in the exile.

Here, the Wu family held Pei Nan, and on the other hand, they sent people to approach Pei Nan to set him up. After all the hardships, they took things out and hid them in a Buddhist scripture.

Before the Wu family started to find this thing, they broke the previous incident. When Wu Yi fell, this matter naturally let Xu Xiangrong know.

Xu Xiangrong has always acted differently from ordinary people.

Others pay attention to the gentleman’s righteousness, what can be done and what can not be done, for him, as long as he can achieve his goal, regardless of whether his methods are inferior. If it weren’t for the purpose of forcing Yan Ting, he would have obtained this thing long ago, and Pei San’s tragic death would not happen again.

After the Pei family handed over the things, no other incidents happened in the family. The Pei family’s hearts were joyful and sad, unable to speak.

After that, the Pei family’s father and son helped Ling back to Beijing, and the Pei family held a funeral for Pei Nan. With the purpose of helping Ling to return home, the family moved away from the capital, without mentioning it. ?
