"I'm asking you, why are you crying!" Pei Mu said angrily. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He's not shrewd, but he's not stupid. Today is the time of tension, Pei Minzhong faced Mrs. Tai's accusation of "disobedience and unfilial piety", although he did not say that he was ugly, but he has always been tepid and unhurried, which shows that Pei Minzhong has a hole card in his hand that reassures him.
If this man is really from the Han family, what can Pei Minzhong do when he brings him up at this time? And why is he dressed as a prisoner?
A terrible thought rose in Pei Mu's heart, he closed his eyes and calmed down, not daring to think about it. He walked quickly to Mrs. Han's side, squatted down and asked, "Mother, do you recognize this person?" Is he someone from his grandfather's family? β
Mrs. Han avoided her son's eyes, but kept saying, "I don't recognize him, I don't recognize him!" β
Pei Mu got up in a hurry, he grabbed Mrs. Han's shoulder, and almost cried: "Mother, you say, you say, is his surname Han?" β
Mrs. Tai was dazzled, and she only felt that there was a person who looked like a prisoner standing in the main hall, but she didn't understand why her beloved grandson was in such a hurry.
"Mu'er, get up, talk well, and be careful to make people laugh if you lose the rules!"
Pei Minzhong took a deep breath and glanced at Mrs. Tai with pity. The mask covering the past is about to be revealed, and when the truth is nakedly presented in front of me, I don't know if this weather-beaten and tyrannical old lady can stand it.
He sighed and said word by word: "Eleventh brother, this gentleman's surname is Wu, his single name is Qin, he is a native of Ganzhou, Jiangxi, and a Xiucai in the third year of Yuanhe, and he is still the head of the government examination that year. If you talk about the relationship with your family, he has been studying at your grandfather's academy since he was nine years old, and he was a very proud student of your grandfather. β
Pei Mu listened to all this in a daze, but his heart was tumbling violently, making his whole body tremble.
"But Wu Qinzhong left Ganzhou in the third year after Xiucai, and that year was the fifth year of Yuanhe." After Pei Minzhong finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Mrs. Han, who was sitting on the ground.
When Mrs. Han heard this, the past seemed to float in front of her like a cloud of smoke. It was the second year of her marriage, and when she got married, she also made a plan to break off with Wu Qin, thinking about living a good life with the prince of Chengguo, who would have thought that the person she married would be so unbearable.
In addition to heartache, she missed her beautiful and civilized brother very much, so a letter recruited him from Ganzhou to Jinling.
Since then, Wu Qin has not returned to Ganzhou. At first, there were occasional letters back to his hometown, and then he was never heard from. His mother gave him a fiancΓ©e, and he waited until he was twenty-two years old before marrying someone else. However, a woman of such age, even if she is good at virtue and work, has no choice but to marry a widower who is more than 20 years older, fill houses for people, and be a stepmother for a bunch of children! β
"Wu Qin, you are still a talented person who has read the books of sages, don't you feel ashamed to ruin your career like this? Han, you are already a wife, not only fornicating with others, disgrace the Pei family in Jinling, but also greedy for wealth and confusion about the sins of the Pei family's bloodline! Don't people like you, who face the tablet of Pei's ancestors in the ancestral hall every year, feel that your conscience is condemned?! β
Pei Minzhong's words made everyone present stunned, and then it was like cold water dripping into hot oil, and it exploded in an instant.
Although Mrs. Tai is dazzled, she is not deaf. The words "fornicating with others" and "confusing blood" are like hammers hitting her heart. She walked up to Wu Qin tremblingly with a dragon head crutch, and as soon as she glanced at it, the red mole in Wu Qin's eyebrows burned her eyes like a raging fire.
Mrs. Tai only felt that her qi and blood flowed backwards, and her feet seemed to be stepping on cotton. She gasped for air, but she still felt like she couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, Pei Minzhong hurriedly reached out to support her. Mrs. Tai shook off her hand, stared into his eyes and asked, "Jiulang, do you have any evidence?" β
Pei Minzhong replied respectfully: "Wu Qin's identity, grandmother sent someone to Ganzhou to ask. As for his affair with Han, the idiot girl in my yard can be witnessed. However, if the evidence is not established, the grandmother can send someone to interrogate Han's personal maids, especially those who are married from Ganzhou, and they will gain something. β
As for whether the eleventh brother is of Pei family blood, Sun Er privately thinks that his appearance with Wu Qin is proof. For safety, blood tests are also available. Uncle grandfather, what do you think? Pei Minzhong changed his words and asked about the third old lady.
The third old lady leaned back in his chair and panted heavily. Today's incident was really beyond his expectations, he thought it was just to help Mrs. Tai get out of Pei Minzhong's family property, but who knew that such a big scandal was pulled out.
When he saw Pei Minzhong asking himself, his lips were closed but he couldn't say anything. He hurriedly turned his head to look at the third master, hoping that this eldest son, who had always been powerful, could give him an idea.
But the third master was sitting with his eyes closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, but betrayed him.
The third old lady kicked his son, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Pei Minzhong: "Jiulang, you have always done things safely, whether you test it or not, it's okay." β
"What does the third uncle mean?" Pei Minzhong asked for a long time.
By now, the third master also knew that it was useless to deny it, and Mrs. Tai had already believed it. It's better to brighten your eyes and sell Pei Minzhong. Thinking of the threat that he seemed to be smiling at just now, the third master couldn't help but shudder.
"The Han family has an affair with him, Pei Mu looks like him, what is it if he is not a wild seed? Jiulang doesn't have to check it anymore, while the relatives in the clan are all there today, he took out a charter and disposed of them. β
Mrs. Tai didn't seem to hear their conversation, so she slowly walked to Mrs. Han's side step by step, and asked condescendingly: "I don't have to believe what they say, just because everyone is hiding their selfish intentions." I only ask you, whose seed is this son whom you have born? If it's my son's, I'll come forward to protect you, and it's useless for Jiulang to say anything! β
Mrs. Han's body shrunk into a ball, cowering to avoid Mrs. Han's gaze. She had the heart to say that Pei Mu was the son of her late husband, but she was frightened and worried for several days, and only then did she see the senior brother who had suffered a lot, and the ability to speak like a spring in the past was long gone.
Mrs. Tai waited for a long time and did not hear any sound, so she picked up her crutches and walked towards the back door with her maid. When she was about to walk past the tall rosewood screen placed on the top, she stopped, turned her back to everyone, and said in a tired voice: "Jiulang, you are the son of the Guogong Mansion, you know the laws and family rules of the country better than me, just remember to give your fourth uncle justice." β
Pei Minzhong looked at Mrs. Tai's back, and felt that she had aged a lot in an instant, and her normally straight spine had collapsed a lot. He gathered his mind and replied respectfully "yes".
