Pei Jingyu was the proud daughter of heaven in the capital back then, but she was spoiled and naïve, and she didn't know that her aunt and sister at home harbored evil intentions, and she treated Pei Jingshu sincerely.

The wedding date is approaching, Pei Jingshu took advantage of the fact that the Rong family and the Marquis of Changping were not at home, and asked Pei Jingyu to go out to offer incense, and the mountain bandits who bought it caused Pei Jingyu to fall off the cliff. After Pei Jingshu went back, she claimed that Pei Jingyu was not satisfied with the marriage that the Marquis of Changping had set for her, and eloped with a poor scholar who came out of nowhere.

She cried so much that she was pitiful, Changping Hou ate this set the most, and saw that Pei Jingyu's house did lack a lot of jewelry that she commonly used, so she believed Pei Jingshu's words and did not allow the people of the Hou Mansion to look for Pei Jingyu again. In fact, those jewelry were all stolen by Pei Jingshu after buying off the maids in Pei Jingyu's house. After she got those jewelry, she asked someone to help her, making the illusion that Pei Jingyu was using jewelry.

The Rong family trusted his daughter, and when he saw that the Marquis of Changping was so disheartened, he quarreled with the Marquis of Changping, so he borrowed someone from the eldest princess's mansion to continue looking for his daughter, but after so many years, there was still no news.

No one knew that Pei Jingyu fell into a river after falling off a cliff, and was washed away by the water near Hezhou Mansion, and happened to be rescued by Jiang Ershan, who went out to make a living. Pei Jingyu wanted to go home after she woke up, and Jiang Ershan also escorted her all the way back to the capital. But when she returned to the capital, everything changed.

In the past, she was a noble and talented woman admired by everyone in the capital, but when she returned to Beijing, she became a prodigal daughter who everyone ridiculed and disdained, and everyone could laugh at her eloping with a poor scholar regardless of the face of the Hou Mansion and the eldest princess's mansion. And her fiancé, who was supposed to belong to her, has also married her sister-in-law Pei Jingshu.

Pei Jingyu has had a smooth ride since she was a child, but from the moment she fell off the cliff, she didn't know what to do. It seems that the cliff is the abyss of her life, as long as she falls, she will never want to return to her former nobility.

She watched the Hou Shizi of Guangping pass in front of her on a tall horse, and couldn't help but step forward to stop the Hou Shizi of Guangping. She once thought that she and this prince were in love, so she told him about her difficulties these days, she didn't do anything to be sorry for him, she was just framed. As for the person who framed her, the moment she learned that Pei Jingshu was married to the Marquis of Guangping, she also figured it out, except for this concubine who specially asked her out, who else could there be?

But what if she was sincere? The Hou Shizi of Guangping glanced at her dressed as a peasant girl, and then at the honest and rustic Jiang Ershan beside her, and his heart was eager to find her.

What he likes is Pei Jingyu, the noble girl who used to be high and never lose her temper, not the haggard woman in front of him. Thinking of Pei Jingyu who has been missing for more than a month, and she has been with this man for more than a month, even if she is still innocent, it is not her duty. If she is really a virtuous woman, she should take the initiative to avoid suspicion. Now that such a reputation has long been innocent, how can a woman whose reputation has been ruined and whose innocence is doubtful worthy of being his concubine?

The Hou Shizi of Guangping thought of the wedding night again, when he found that his bride had been dropped, and he was furious. Pei Jingshu cried and said that her sister-in-law was domineering, and she had read too much of the words of Fenghua Xueyue, and felt that she and the poor scholar were truly in love, so she eloped with someone on the eve of the wedding and forced her to be married. He didn't believe it at that time, and he hadn't touched Pei Jingshu, he just wanted to wait until he found Pei Jingyu before making plans. Who knew that the Marquis of Changping, as Pei Jingyu's biological father, had a better face than him, and claimed that Pei Jingyu had a sudden illness and died that night, so he had to let his favorite second daughter marry.

Mrs. Changping Hou was dissatisfied with Changping Hou's arrangement, and she also came to the door to make a fuss, and pulled all the dowry concierges who came to marry back to the Changping Hou Mansion. The Hou Shizi of Guangping was embarrassed by the Rong family at that time, so he hated Pei Jingshu even more and didn't want to recognize this bride. It's just that at this moment, compared to Pei Jingshu, who has a thin dowry, Pei Jingyu can't let him accept it. He suddenly felt that everything Changping Hou did was right, and Changping Hou's arrangement was the best for the two families.

As for whether Pei Jingyu was framed, who cares?

Although Pei Jingshu is not as talented and famous as Pei Jingyu, she is still delicate now, she is dressed up brightly, and her reputation is good, which seems to be more suitable for him than Pei Jingyu in front of her.

The Marquis of Guangping made a decision immediately, and said coldly with a sinking face: "Where did the crazy woman come from, and she dared to pretend to be the daughter of the Marquis of Changping?" Who doesn't know that the eldest daughter of the Pei family died of a sudden illness on the eve of the wedding? This is what the Marquis of Changping said personally, and now everyone has been buried. Come on, get rid of these two madmen, don't slander the reputation of the Changping Marquis Mansion. ”

Pei Jingyu left in despair, Jiang Ershan helped her investigate, and only then did she know that the eldest daughter of the family was really buried on the side of the Marquis of Changping, but there has always been a story among the people that Pei Jingyu eloped with someone regardless of her face. Pei Jingyu understood as soon as she heard it, this was the Changping Marquis Mansion giving up on her, she couldn't go back, she didn't know what else she could do, and finally followed Jiang Ershan to Jiangjia Village in a daze, and chose to hide her name and live a good life with Jiang Ershan.

And after Guangping Hou went back that day, he had a round room with Pei Jingshu, and he didn't tell anyone that he met Pei Jingyu. Later, no matter what Pei Jingshu told him, he chose to believe it, as if only in this way could he prove that his original choice was right. But he didn't expect that after twenty years of peaceful living like this, Pei Jingshu would make him faceless again.

He was so wrong, but he was wrong, so what else could he do?

It's just a Pei Jingyu who died, does Your Majesty really want the entire Song family to be buried with you?

Today's saint is obviously a wise king, how could he do such a thing? Guangping Hou was puzzled.

But now the Song family only has those who act arrogantly, which means that even if Your Majesty is liquidated, he will not liquidate for no reason, right? There must be something wrong to be grasped. Read good books

Although he has been quite careful in his work over the years, if he really wants to convict him, he can still find several of them.

No, he can't sit still like this, he must reconcile with Pei Jingshu before His Majesty liquidates the Song family.

As soon as Guangping Hou told Mrs. Song about his ideas, Mrs. Song didn't agree with them.

"I know that you resent Pei Jingshu as much as I do now, blaming her for bringing death to our Song family. But since Lord Taoyang Weng and the eldest princess have promised not to tell her about killing her sister-in-law, it means that she is still safe, and it doesn't hurt to keep her for the time being. Although I'm not satisfied with this daughter-in-law, I have to wait for Sister Yan'er to get married before sending her away. ”

"But the saint has already been liquidated to the Pei family, and it is estimated that it is not far from our house, if we don't take advantage of the time to get her out, let alone Sister Yan'er at that time, I'm afraid that our entire Song family will be finished!" After all, my son has not had no handle over the years. ”

"What did you leave behind? If it weren't too serious, His Majesty would have turned a blind eye. "Mrs. Song has always felt that her son is an honest man, and he will not do things like those gentlemen on the side of the branch.

Moreover, the official position of Marquis Guangping is still very embarrassing, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to take bribes, so he doesn't make mistakes at all.

But it's an official, as long as you want to fish, you can still catch a little bit. But which official in the capital didn't make money? If the amount is not too large, the emperor will not take it to heart.

"When it comes to human life, although I have wiped all the traces clean, once the clues are found, I will never recover."

"How could it be so serious?" Old Madam Song couldn't believe it.

"Mother still remembers that I bought a mountain on the outskirts of the city, and originally planned to build a Zhuangzi, but the people there refused to move away and confronted me for a long time." Guangping Hou sighed and said, "I later learned that the seller's land was occupied by the ruffians in the village, and he had no way to solve it, so he directly sold the land and waited for me to solve it." But he didn't tell me about it, and I don't know. The scoundrel hid and tried to scare me into driving away the people I had sent, and I found that there was a piece of land that was not easy to cultivate, so I directly let people blow it up, who knew that the family happened to be hiding in the vicinity, and the whole family of seven or eight people was blown up. I couldn't help it, so I buried them all there. ”

Old Madam Song was taken aback, although the people killed by the Marquis of Guangping were all ruffians and hooligans, but the number was too large, and the words that spread out were really terrible.

"How many people have seen this?" Old Madam Song asked.

"There are more than a dozen, half of them are the sons of our Hou Mansion, don't worry, they don't dare to say it. As for the other half......" Marquis Guangping's expression darkened, "Although they have all sworn that they will not tell this matter, I am always not at ease, and I have been exterminating them one after another over the years." ”

Sometimes people are like this, after accidentally doing something wrong, because they can't bear the consequences of the wrong thing, they will hide it and run away. When it's not so easy to escape, they will do more wrong things to cover up, and the final crime may grow bigger and bigger until it can't be done.

When he had just killed all those people, Guangping Hou was actually a little relieved, he felt that this matter was finally over, and no one would know about it in the future. Those sons of the family are all his confidants, and he knows very well what to say and what not to say, so he doesn't take them too seriously.

It's just that later he secretly killed more people, and a few of the more perceptive family children also discovered his rules for killing, and the timid ones couldn't help but panic.

These people were often by the side of the Marquis of Guangping, and the Marquis of Guangping quickly realized that something was wrong with them. After knowing that these people were worried about whether the Marquis of Guangping would kill them, the Marquis of Guangping couldn't help but really do something to them.

Because Guangping Hou felt that since these people had doubted themselves, they were born with two hearts, and it was no longer suitable to follow him.

In order to prevent the secrets he had been protecting from leaking out, he naturally wanted to get rid of them quickly.
