Chapter 531: Involved
After Pei Zhang drank a few glasses of water and wine, he opened his mouth to say goodbye and left under the eyes of everyone.
The night breeze was blowing, as if the gossip behind him was coming into his ears.
"This Pei Zhang is really ruthless. said that he would not be in Yong'an Houfu, so he really didn't go back. Today is the big day for Miss Pei Wu's marriage, and I heard that he didn't set foot in the Pei family half a step. β
"Today's Yong'an Hou Mansion is really a shame."
"Isn't it? Filial piety comes first. Yong'an Hou has a lot of wrongs, but in the end it is his father. He is still so cold-hearted to his own father, and he can't have a deep friendship with such people. β
β¦β¦ Pei Zhang didn't hear it, rode his horse, and rode away in the night wind.
From the day he made his choice, he had anticipated the predicament he would encounter.
Da Chu governs the country with filial piety, outsiders don't know the secret inside story of the Pei family, what they can see is that he, an unfilial son, disobeys his father, the father and son break up, the father is ashamed, and the son is not good. Everywhere he went, there were always people pointing fingers and criticizing him in private.
He is a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and everyone gossips at most, but in front of him, no one dares to say anything unpleasant.
It's just that the noble sons who were good friends with him in the past distanced themselves from him without a trace. Because everyone thinks that a person who will turn against his father always has some problems with his character.
At first, he was gloomy and uncomfortable. Over time, he gradually got used to it, and he didn't take it seriously.
The slightly deserted lonely back quickly disappeared into the night.
Half an hour later, Pei Zhang returned to his residence.
The location of this house is really good. Not far from Miyagi, it is also quite spacious and quiet. He couldn't live in such a big place alone, and the empty houses in the backyard of the inner house were locked, leaving only his food, clothing, living room and study.
Far away, I saw the wind lantern hanging under the plaque being shaken by the night wind.
A trace of warmth swept up in Pei Zhang's cold heart.
This is where he stays, and it is also his home alone.
The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, and the porter hurriedly opened the door to greet him, and opened his mouth to say, "The son is back." Madame has been waiting for her son for a long time. β
Pei Zhang was taken aback and blurted out: "What lady?" β
The concierge said with a smile: "Childe said that he was joking." Naturally, she is the mother-in-law of the son, Mrs. Yong'an Hou. β
Pei Zhang: "......"
How did Mother come here!
He left the Pei family for more than half a year, and Mrs. Yong'an Hou often sent people to send some food and clothing. He didn't refuse, and accepted it silently. Mrs. Yong'an Hou also often sent people to deliver letters or send messages. The mother and son have not met, but the news has not been broken.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou came in person, but it was the first time.
What's more, this is the big day for Pei Xiu to get married. There are still many relatives in the Yong'an Hou Mansion. As a clan wife, Mrs. Yong'an Hou is not in the mansion to entertain guests, why did she come to him?
β¦β¦
In just a moment, all kinds of thoughts passed through Pei Zhang's heart, and his face quickly regained his composure.
He stepped into the house and went straight to his courtyard.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou was indeed in the courtyard. Not only is she here, but also Bai Wei and several other personal maids are also here with Mrs. Yong'an Hou. What's even more surprising is that there are cages on the ground.
As soon as Pei Zhang appeared, the maids immediately retreated.
"Aaki!" Mrs. Yong'an Hou stepped forward quickly, hugged Pei Zhang suddenly, and cried sadly: "Ah Zhang, my mother will live here with you in the future, and our mother and son depend on each other." I'm never going back. β
"Your father, I can see it clearly. In his heart, his wife and children are not important, only the most important thing is the power and position, glory and wealth. The sum of our mother and son is not as much as the weight of the second prince alone. β
"For most of the past six months, you have not been in the house. I have to take care of the trivial affairs in the house every day, and I am often scolded and scolded by him, and I suffer a lot of idleness. So many things happened to the Pei family, they should have closed the door to hide from shame. But he let me walk around the house, and I don't know how many cold eyes I watched and how many sarcastic words I heard. β
"Before my brother got married, my sister was married. Only your father can do these things. It is still the marriage date that the Pei family took the initiative to mention. β
In order to return to the court, he didn't care about Ah Xiu's decency at all. If I say a few words for Ah Xiu, I will be scolded angrily. He also hit me several times. β
"I want to open it now, too. He is willing to raise the concubine, and I don't care. In the backyard of the Pei family's house, he takes care of any concubine he takes care of. Now Ah Xiu is also married and has become the wife of the Jiang family. I don't have anything to worry about. In the future, my mother will live with you. We lived together as mother and son. β
Mrs. Yong'an Hou sobbed and complained, and the surging tears soon soaked Pei Zhang's clothes.
Complicated emotions flashed in Pei Zhang's eyes, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and patted Mrs. Yong'an Hou's back: "Mother is depressed and unhappy, cry if you want to!" β
Mrs. Yong'an Hou had not seen her son's face for a long time, and when she heard the long-lost whispering of warmth, she was both sad and happy, and she really cried happily.
After Mrs. Yong'an Hou's mood gradually calmed down, Pei Zhang said, "What the hell is going on, mother sat down and talked about it in detail." β
Mrs. Yong'an Hou wiped her red and swollen eyes with a handkerchief, and her face was resolute: "That's what I just said." I thought about it, and in the future, I will stay here and not go back to the Hou Mansion. β
The mother is coming, and there is no reason to be a son.
Pei Zhang had a headache, more helplessly: "Mother, this is the house sent by the Duchess of Pingguo." It's just that I live there, and I am afraid that it is not suitable for you to live together. β
He left the Pei family, and no matter how angry Yong'an Hou was, he would not take the initiative to see him.
But as soon as Mrs. Yong'an Hou stayed, didn't she give Yong'an Hou an excuse and come to the door in a bright way?
He didn't want to see Yong'an Hou at all, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the Pei family anymore.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou said with red eyes: "I worked hard to conceive for ten months, giving birth to you and raising you." Now that you are grown up, your wings are stiff. Don't want your father, don't you want your mother too? β
"I don't care what you think, anyway, I won't leave when I come."
"If you have the ability and ability, you will personally drive me out."
Pei Zhang: "......"
Pei Zhang's headache became more and more intense.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou began to cry again.
The intermittent crying sound was like a fine net, containing Pei Zhang little by little, and no matter how much strength he had, he couldn't break free.
Pei Zhang laughed bitterly at himself: "That's it, mother can stay if she wants to!" β
It's that he's too naΓ―ve and thinks everything too simple.
His surname is Pei, and he has the blood of his parents in his body. The grace of birth and nurturing is like a mountain, hanging heavily over his head. How could he completely get rid of the Pei family and become a new person?
