Chapter 155: The Insidious Man
Su Xue threw down her shoes, turned around and left, and when she lifted the curtain, she suddenly stopped again, and turned back lightly: "Grandmother said that she doesn't want to pursue this matter anymore." Jiang Wanyue, you are so self-conscious, don't do such stupid things again and disgrace your father. ”
After the old lady sent the eldest lady and the second lady, the eldest lady was ashamed in his heart and asked himself to stay in the old mansion.
The old lady felt sorry for the eldest lady, but she was angry with the actions of the second lady and the eldest lady, and finally stalemate, each giving in a step. The old lady only punished the eldest lady and the second lady to live in the old mansion for two months, and the eldest lady had to go back to Jizhou with them.
The eldest lady and the second lady deserve it, but Su Xue didn't expose Wanyue because of this, of course, not because of soft-heartedness.
For a sinister person who has repeatedly done evil but still pretends to be soft and weak, Su Xue really can't lift the strength of soft-heartedness.
She just didn't want to see her father in such a dilemma as the eldest man.
She still remembered the two beatings she received in the ancestral hall, and she still remembered what the host had promised the second master. Never ruin the reputation of the Jiang family again, and never let your father be disgraced again.
After Su Xue left, Wanyue sat on the stool with a soft body.
Lan Zhu cried and knelt down, raised his hand and slapped his face, kowtowed: "It's a small negligence, it's a small one that drags down Miss......"
When he couldn't find the embroidered shoes that Wanyue had replaced, Lanzhu was also suspicious, but when he saw Wanyue returning to the room with a happy face, he knew that the matter over there had been completed, so he lost his vigilance.
Now that I think about it carefully, Wanyue went to the second lady to deliver the ointment, and she secretly ran away to the old lady's yard to keep an eye on her, and the two dead maids outside were not in trouble. This gave the third lady an opportunity.
Wanyue didn't blame Lan Zhu. Just sat stunned. The gaze is glazed.
After a long time, he suddenly shuddered, and asked angrily, "You say...... What does the third sister mean, is she, is she also thinking about Chen Gongzi? ”
After asking this sentence, Wanyue suddenly panicked, and finally clenched her hands tightly, with ruthlessness in her eyes.
On the day of the Jiang family's return, the sky was clear. The long-lost warm sun poured down and dispelled the misty morning mist.
The Jiang family got into the carriage one after another, but only the eldest master was still in the backyard to cheer for the eldest lady and the second lady, and he didn't come for a long time.
The old lady waiting in the carriage was already uncertain, her eldest son, her heart was soft, and her ears were softer, like the old lady.
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
The second old man took a big carriage on the return trip, so the son-in-law and his wife were arranged in the old lady's carriage.
The old lady was heard sighing. Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak, but the second wife smiled lightly. Pointing to the outside of the car curtain and said, "Look at this good day, when the fog clears, it's not too late for us to leave." After all, the second girl is injured, and it is reasonable for the eldest brother to rest assured, the eldest brother is so benevolent, it is with your mother! ”
After the second lady finished speaking, she covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed softly, who expected that the fart was not accurate and fell on the horse's hooves, the old lady glanced at the second wife, did not reply, and her face was even heavier.
The second wife had to blink awkwardly and shut up.
Su Xue raised her eyelids and quickly glanced at the second wife, in order to cover those red rash marks, the second wife deliberately covered her face with a thick layer of fat powder, but the rash marks were covered, but the dry lines at the corners of the eyes were more obvious, as if as long as she shook her muscles slightly, she would brush and drop the powder.
This is also no way, an old face, no matter how expensive fat powder is, it can't make up a good makeup.
Everyone waited for about a quarter of an hour before the old man walked out quickly.
Mother Yan followed behind her with a bitter face, and came out to bow deeply to the old lady to see her off.
But at this time, no matter how respectful the eldest lady was, it was useless, the old lady didn't glance at Yan's mother again, and ordered someone to put down the curtain and set off.
Yan's mother bowed her waist deeply, listening to the sound of the carriage gradually moving away, her heart became colder and colder.
When the eldest master got into the carriage, he noticed the solemn atmosphere in the carriage, and he wanted to say a few more words to persuade him, but he had to dispel his thoughts at this time.
Su Xue glanced at the old lady who was as cold as iron, and lowered her gaze silently.
The old lady is shrewd and hard-hearted, and these Su Xue know it.
After all, the old lady is also a person who has been crawling in the wind and rain at the door of the house for most of her life, so naturally the eldest lady can not be fooled casually.
It's just that the old lady's attitude towards the big house this time is really tough.
Xu is the old lady was angry when she noticed that the eldest lady wanted to use her as a gun, so it is not impossible to think about it, but the old lady has never looked like a person with a mouse eye, and now that the big house has become more and more powerful, even if the old lady is angry, she will not be so ruthlessly punished.
You must know that if there is no persuasion from the eldest lady, the old lady will trap the eldest lady and mother and daughter in this old mansion for half a year.
Su Xue became more and more puzzled, now that the old lady's condition was very stable, she did not press her head every night as before, nor did she hear that the old lady complained that she did not sleep well.
It can be seen that the old lady is no longer inseparable from her.
So what is the reason that the old lady does not hesitate to abandon the big house, but comes to protect her?
This is not like the old lady's style......
Su Xue also went back to the house to inquire later, only to find out that the eldest master and the second master met a person before entering the temple that day.
After the Jiang family's carriage left, a canopy carriage slowly drove out of the alley not far from the opposite side.
Duofu put down the curtain awkwardly, turned around and said, "Young master, it's really gone." ”
Pei Ye crossed his waist with one hand and sat casually, his face showing a little displeasure.
Duofu knew that his master was unhappy, and he had been guarding here for so long in vain, and there was really no reaction from there.
It's strange that the young master is awkward, he obviously helped, but he refused to come forward in person, he went around and spared several bends, and in the end he complained that others didn't know how to repay the favor.
The canopy carriage also drove onto the official road and hurried in the direction of the capital unhurriedly.
"What kind of boudoir lady, knowledgeable and courteous...... The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, how could she get a favor and leave without saying a word? The more Pei Ye thought about it, the more angry he became.
Duofu looked at him speechlessly and said, "Didn't the young master say that she was your savior?" Right now, you're repaying the favor. ”
When Pei Ye heard this, he picked up the folding fan and knocked it towards Duofu, and Duofu covered his head in pain.
"A piece of white jade inlaid with obsidian, plus a salty mountain ginseng, even her little life can be bought, isn't this a retribution? My kindness has been repaid, and now I have helped her again, it is her turn to repay the favor! After Pei Ye finished speaking angrily, as if he was a little unconfident, he opened the folding fan and fanned it up irritably.
"Young Master, Miss Jiang didn't say it all, I don't need you to interfere......" Duofu weakly said the truth.
At that time, after rescuing the second lady on the mountain, Su Xue sent Miaomeng to the bottom of the mountain to call the nun in Tsing Yi to come up and help carry people.
Pei Ye wanted to go with her, but was blocked by Su Xue: "My sister has not yet left the cabinet, I hope that Pei Gongzi will think about her reputation, don't come with me again." The affairs of Jiangfu do not need Pei Gongzi to interfere. ”
Pei Ye was immediately stunned, tightened her lips and wanted to reprimand her, but before the words were spoken, Su Xue hurried down the mountain behind the nun in Tsing Yi.
"Looking self-righteous, in the end, Young Master Ben can't make a move?" Pei Ye thought about it, suddenly chuckled again, stretched out his hand and lifted the sedan curtain, and a ray of sunlight took the opportunity to shine in, reflecting the moire flower brocade robe inlaid with gilt sequins on his shoulders.
Duofu flattened his mouth, why has the young master become more and more uncertain recently? One moment is anxious and irritable, and the next moment he is happy and panicked, with such a master, he is really an ancestor who has no virtue.
To say, the second young master is still gentle and elegant, although he is only a young master, but he treats people kindly, rarely lectures his subordinates, and acts very seriously.
In the past, the eldest young master was also not very serious, but Duofu could still grit his teeth and endure it, and persuade him, but this time I really don't know what the young master's head was confused about, and he chased the Jiang family in circles along the way, the young master was leisurely, but his little follower was about to die, even if he could rush back to the house immediately at this time, he would inevitably be severely punished by the old lady.
"Young master, ......," Duofu shouted in a soft voice.
Pei Ye frowned impatiently and glanced at him.
Duofu moved, lowered his voice again, and persuaded: "Actually, it's all the Jiang family's business, what are we involved in, you should think more about your own affairs, Mrs. Qianli sent a letter urgently, saying that the emperor has ordered a knighthood, waiting for you to go back to receive the decree." ”
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Pei Ye's expression became stern, looked at the warm sun outside, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up, can you go back to Beijing tomorrow?" ”
Duofu saw that the young master was finally willing to think about the matter, and nodded busily: "Out of Lin'an, you can copy the trail, without passing through the pass of Yuzhou, you can save a lot of distance, and you can enter Beijing before dusk tomorrow, and the young master may be able to catch up with dinner when he returns home." ”
After listening to this, Pei Ye glanced at Duofu, found a comfortable position to lie down, and said, "It's a little late, it's a little late, what kind of trail do you copy?" I didn't bring many secret guards with me this time, if you are assassinated on Xiaodao, will it be difficult for you to be a human target? ”
Duofu pouted helplessly, just wanting to say that how could he curse himself for not having a smooth journey?
But Pei Ye had ordered him like that, and Duofu had no choice but to let the groom go on the right path. It was not until noon on the third day that he dragged into Beijing.
Seeing that there was only one hour left to go, Duofu was excited and worried, who expected Pei Ye to wake up, and suddenly ordered: "Go to Chen's Mansion first." ”
Dofo slumped his shoulders weakly.
As soon as he stepped into Chen's mansion, Pei Ye changed his previous idle face and replaced it with a solemn one, but Chen Yijin, who heard that Pei Ye had returned to Beijing, smiled as soon as he greeted him.
Pei Ye didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he went to the front hall to greet Master Chen and Mrs. Chen, and after some greetings, he was taken to the main courtyard by the steward.
"This is finally back, Aunt Shi is in a hurry in Pei's Mansion, and she is about to chase me to ask for someone!" Chen Yijin said while instructing the maid to serve tea.
Pei Ye lifted the lid of the teacup and said, "My mother has always been like that, for fear that I will be taken away by wolves when I go out." ”
Although his mouth is joking, his eyes are full of tenderness. (To be continued......)
