Chapter 207
Pei Jingyu also frowned when he heard this, he didn't understand why his father thought that it was his eldest sister who eloped with someone. The eldest sister has always been knowledgeable, who didn't say a good word before the accident? Although the eldest sister has been missing for more than 20 years, it doesn't mean that the eldest sister eloped with someone as Pei Jingshu said.
The things back then were obviously suspicious, but Pei Jingshu said that, and her father believed it like that, and she didn't care at all, this was her side of the story. If it weren't for his father blocking his pursuit halfway, maybe the eldest sister would have been recovered? Pei Jingyu still doesn't understand why his father stopped him from continuing to investigate, and why he directly announced the death of his eldest sister? As soon as he announced this, even if the eldest sister did not die and returned to the capital, he was afraid that he would not dare to return to their house again.
If what his mother said was true, and the three girls he met in the temple were all daughters of the eldest sister, how much did the eldest sister suffer outside all these years? The eldest sister is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and the daughter of the lord of Taoyang, as long as she gets married, she can be named the county lord, she should have been favored for a lifetime, but because of their poor performance in the Hou Mansion and unable to return home, the eldest sister will hate them all these years?
The more Pei Jingyu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
When his sister just disappeared, Pei Jingyu tried his best to find his eldest sister every day, but unfortunately he was always stopped by his father, he looked for it again and again, and his father stopped him again and again, and he didn't understand why. Until ten years passed, he still couldn't find any news of his eldest sister and finally gave up gradually.
Now that his mother has told him such things, he has given birth to hope again, maybe he will be able to find his eldest sister this time, but this time he will definitely look for it secretly, and he will never let his father know about it again. He didn't want to believe that his father wanted to prevent him from getting his eldest sister back, but he still couldn't trust his father wholeheartedly.
It's better to find it yourself, it may be safer.
Changping Hou used to be a great image in Pei Jingyu's heart, but this father always prevented him from looking for his own sister, and he could no longer be majestic in his heart. Over the years, Pei Jingyu has long understood that his father is a character who needs to be touched by others, and he can't tolerate anyone to be disobedient.
In that case, he would not confront his father in person.
"Mother just misses her eldest sister too much, so she will say such things, don't worry, father, I will persuade my mother well."
When Lord Taoyang Weng heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, thinking to himself that this was not his good son who had always been filial? Why is he going to go against him all of a sudden, doesn't he, who is an older brother, want to find his sister back?
Pei Jingyu glanced at Lord Taoyang Weng, and then said to the Marquis of Changping: "I heard that the second sister came back today, didn't my father take a look?" β
"Is your sister coming over today? How did I not know? Changping Hou mentioned that his second daughter's face softened a little, and he had always preferred his second daughter.
Pei Jingyu said with a smile: "I came in from the main entrance hall just now, and I heard what the porter over there said, if my father doesn't believe it, you can ask it." β
When the Marquis of Changping heard him say this, he smiled and said, "Is there any sentence of your words that I don't believe?" I'm going to go out to see your second sister, if you have time, you can also come out and sit, you two brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, you should also contact and get in touch. β
As soon as the Marquis of Changping left, Lord Taoyang couldn't help but drop a cup.
"Hehe, contact feelings? He is worthy of it! It's just a mongrel who crawled out of my aunt's belly, and I'm embarrassed to call you sister? Tao Yang Weng was very angry, "Why do you call that kind of slut sister, I think your eldest sister will disappear, and she can't get out of it." β
Pei Jingyu said helplessly: "He is such a character, you don't know, why bother with him at this time, if my mother is free, you might as well tell me what happened to the three girls you have seen, but someone deliberately sent someone to stand there and stare at you?" The eldest sister is my mother's heart disease for many years, and many people know about it, in case someone deliberately ...... it."
"No, even if someone has a heart to find them, the three of them will not be as young as your sister, and they must have something to do with your sister." Lord Taoyang Weng hurriedly retorted.
Lord Tao Yang Weng has always only said your sister, and in his opinion, except for her own daughter, no one else in this Hou Mansion is worthy of being Pei Jingyu's sister.
Pei Jingyu felt that if a woman gave birth to a child who was very similar to his eldest sister, the child born by that woman would also be somewhat similar to her eldest sister, which was human nature. There are so many similar people in this world, as long as you have the heart to look for them, you can always find them, just like back then, didn't you also find many people who were somewhat similar to his sister, but had nothing to do with their Hou Mansion?
But his mother misses his eldest sister like this, and he can't pour cold water on his mother, not to mention that he also hopes that those three are really the descendants of his eldest sister, so that he can find his eldest sister.
"Mother don't worry, I will send someone to find it as soon as possible, I don't know what other clues my mother has here?"
"The people I sent to follow them have already replied to me, and they are now living in the alley on the other side of Zhuangyuan Street, and they just moved here this month." Tao Yang Weng said, "It is said that the eldest of the three sisters is called Jiang Xuehe, nineteen this year, and her husband is taking the exam these days. I don't know why, but her sisters and brothers live with her. β
Pei Jingyu felt bad when she heard this, if all the brothers and sisters in her family lived with her, wouldn't it mean that someone in her mother's family had an accident? If these are really the children of the big sister, then isn't the big sister ......
No, it's impossible, I hope it's just that he thinks too much, maybe their brothers and sisters just go to the capital to play together, and they will go back when the spring is over.
Pei Jingyu appeased Lord Taoyang Weng a few more words, and then went out to send someone to investigate.
On the other side, the Marquis of Changping happily went out to meet his second daughter. His daughter's name is Pei Jingshu, and she was born to his favorite Aunt Cui. When he was a child, he liked this second daughter even more, even if everyone said that his eldest daughter was more beautiful, better and more talented, but he felt that it was useless for women to ask for those things, as long as they would marry and teach children. Compared with his eldest daughter, who is knowledgeable and dignified and self-controlled, the second daughter who has been coquettish in front of him since childhood is naturally more likable.
Speaking of which, Aunt Cui's tricks with his second daughter were not clever at the beginning, and he quickly investigated it clearly. But his daughter has always been unclear with him, and he naturally wants to keep his second daughter. Obviously, they are all his daughters, but the eldest daughter has had everything since she was a child, and the eldest princess sent rewards every day, and her mother also gave all the good things to the eldest daughter. But what about his second daughter, he has nothing but the public middle school, even if he uses his private room to supplement his second daughter every day, but what is his thing compared to the eldest princess's?
Every time he saw his second daughter looking at the envious eyes of his eldest daughter, he felt distressed, thinking that even if it was the fairer mother of Taoyang Weng, he would not be so partial. Since Lord Taoyang Weng only favors the eldest daughter, what does it matter if he favors the second daughter? Aunt Cui was also a good girl from an official family, and if she hadn't fallen into the dust of her family, she wouldn't have come to his house to be a concubine. Their mother and daughter are so miserable, what's wrong with him favoring their mother and daughter?
When he found out that his eldest daughter's disappearance was related to his second daughter, he immediately hid the matter and cleared all the clues, blocking his eldest son's way to go out to find his eldest daughter. He knew in his heart that if this matter was known to Lord Taoyang Weng and the eldest princess, his second daughter would inevitably die. The eldest daughter is already uncertain, does he still want to accompany his second daughter?
He felt that the second daughter couldn't be blamed for this, it was Tao Yang Weng's master who was not kind at all as a mother-in-law, and the eldest daughter, who was the sister-in-law, was not humble enough to her younger sister, which would cause his second daughter to go astray for a while. The eldest daughter can obviously find a better man to marry into a better family, why do she want to rob the second daughter? She obviously knows that her sister likes the Hou Shizi of Guangping, doesn't she? But what did she do? When she knew that her sister liked her fiancΓ©, the eldest daughter not only did not immediately go to the Guangping Marquis Mansion to withdraw from the marriage, but also pointed out that her sister coveted her brother-in-law and punished her sister to copy the female ring a hundred times. A hundred times for women's rings! The second daughter's hand was about to break.
If it weren't for her ruthlessness as an older sister, how could the second daughter harm her? So after the incident, the Marquis of Changping hid from the lord of Taoyang Weng to let his second daughter marry on his behalf, and he wanted to fulfill his second daughter.
Changping Hou didn't feel that he was wrong, especially when he saw that his second daughter and son-in-law had been harmonious for so many years, he felt that he had done the right thing. This pair of children is obviously in love with each other, if it wasn't for the eldest daughter who beat the mandarin duck at the beginning, how could she have suffered misfortune?
His eldest daughter fell off a cliff and has not been heard from for so many years, probably dead. If the dead are dead, how can the living continue to suffer for him? It is more important to be alive, but it is a pity that his wife can't think clearly, and has been angry and refused to have sex with him for so many years.
Heh, what is this? No matter how beautiful Master Tao Yang Weng is, he is almost fifty years old, where can he compare to the delicate concubines he newly received? What's more, Lord Taoyang Weng is not as gentle and petty as Aunt Cui, and he is not rare to enter Lord Taoyang's room.
Changping Hou didn't feel that he was ruthless to his eldest daughter at all, but only felt that his eldest daughter deserved to beat mandarin ducks. If the eldest daughter marries into the Marquis of Guangping, she will definitely not send things back to honor him like the second daughter.
Although the gifts sent back by the second daughter are small objects, which are not worth much, but the gifts are light and affectionate, and the eldest daughter doesn't even have this heart, she will only send those cold calligraphy and paintings. The calligraphy and painting are valuable, and he is because the Marquis of Changping can't go out to sell calligraphy and painting. And he doesn't like calligraphy and painting, and his eldest daughter doesn't even know this, so it can be seen that she has no feelings for him.
