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 Lord Taoyang Weng 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.

Pei Jingshu always felt that everything she had today was snatched by her unscrupulous means, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with snatching Pei Jingyu's things, but she was always afraid of the East Window incident. So when she happened to pass by Hezhou Mansion and saw Pei Jingyu and Jiang Ershan and his wife, she bought off the mountain bandits and killed their husband and wife, and sent people to chase and kill Jiang Xuehe after the owner of Taoyang Weng met Jiang Xuehe.

Pei Jingyu wasn't sure if those things were designed by Pei Jingshu and Aunt Cui together, and he didn't know that those things were known to Changping Hou and helped cover them up, let alone that the death of Pei and his wife was not an accident but a deliberate plan by Pei Jingshu.

He felt that Pei Jingyu's death was a little strange, and he was still under investigation, but there was no result for the time being. Therefore, when talking about the past, Pei Jingyu only said what he knew from his perspective.

This was enough to make the three Jiang Xuehe sisters red-eyed.

"If what General Pei said is true, then the Marquis of Changping is inevitably too ruthless." Jiang Yuxuan was very dissatisfied.

She has lived the life of an ordinary peasant girl for the past ten years, and now even if she knows that her mother is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she is not unfamiliar with everything in the Hou Mansion. Especially Changping Hou, Jiang Yuxuan feels that he is a father who does not feel sorry for his daughter at all, so she will not regard such an old man as her grandfather.

Pei Jingyu didn't want to defend his father for anything, because he was also very cold about those things at the beginning. He felt that his father didn't want to recognize his daughter at all.

"I don't know why my father did that back then, but my mother and I have been looking for the whereabouts of our eldest sister over the years, and we have never given up." Pei Jingyu blamed himself, "Actually, I also took my daughter to live in Hezhou Mansion, but I never found you, it's my fault." I have a daughter named Xiangyuan, who is about the same age as Yunlan, and you may be able to talk about it when you meet. However, Yuan Yuan's temperament is more similar to Yuxuan. ”

The Jiang Xuehe sisters were still skeptical of Pei Jingyu's words, but listening to Pei Jingyu's tone, they seemed to have regarded them as their nieces. The three sisters looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to believe Pei Jingyu. It seems too hasty to believe like this, and they only have one jade pendant to use as a proof now. But if you don't believe it, Pei Jingyu doesn't seem to have any need to lie to them.

"I know you probably don't trust me enough right now, but can you find a time to meet your grandmother? She really misses you, she met you last time when she went to Lingyun Temple to offer incense, and after she went back, she asked me to help investigate, and secretly wiped her tears several times. ”

When Pei Jingyu said this, the three Jiang Xuehe sisters couldn't help but think of the kind-faced lady they met at the gate of Lingyun Temple that day. Could that person be their grandmother?

"Would you like to meet tomorrow?" Pei Jingyu asked again.

He also knew that he was in a bit of a hurry to ask, but this matter was indeed urgent, and his mother was really anxious!

Jiang Xuehe nodded: "It's okay." ”

She always felt that the noble lady had a good face, and she thought about it a few times after she went back. Although she has a sense of closeness to Pei Jingyu, she is far inferior to the old woman who has never spoken to her.

Pei Jingyu was preparing to say a few more kind words for his mother, so that their grandparents could be closer when they met tomorrow. But at this time, news came from Jing Zhaoyin's side, saying that he had found out some eyebrows.

Only then did Pei Jingyu get up and say to the Jiang family sisters: "You guys go back first, I'll go over and hear what's going on, and I'll tell you when I have specific news." ”

Although Jiang Xuehe was also curious about who wanted to kill them, she still obediently went back after listening to Pei Jingyu's words at this moment.

Since Pei Jingyu said so, it means that they are just a little eyebrow now, and they may not be able to wait for the final result today.

After Jiang Xuehe went back, he told Gu Siyan about this, Gu Siyan was very surprised, he thought that Jiang Xuehe's mother could not be an ordinary peasant girl, but he didn't expect that she was so big, and she was still a county lord. Although she is a foreign surname, she can be regarded as a clan girl.

"What are you going to do if everything is true?" Gu Siyan asked.

Jiang Xuehe sighed and said, "I don't have any ideas. If what General Pei said is true, my mother, as the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion and the county lord of Anning who was personally appointed by the imperial court, can only end up like that, then what can a few of us wild girls who grew up in rural mountain villages end up with? ”

"General Pei seems to have the intention of recognizing you back?"

"General Pei has a heart, listen to what he means, Lord Taoyang Weng also has a heart. But the head of the Hou Mansion is the Marquis of Changping, right? Changping Hou, he didn't have that mind. Jiang Xuehe sighed and said, "You look at the way the Marquis of Changping did it back then, obviously he didn't want a daughter." Since he doesn't even want his daughter, what good face can he have when he sees his daughter's daughter? And listening to General Pei's meaning, this Marquis of Changping still loves face very much. Rather than make him admit that his daughter had a child with a country mud leg, it would be better for him to admit that his daughter had fallen to her death when she fell off a cliff. ”

Gu Siyan listened, and also felt that the Marquis of Changping was not good, and it was estimated that he would not recognize the Jiang Xuehe sisters.

"Actually, he doesn't want to recognize me, and I don't want to recognize him, so we're still evenly matched in this regard, right?" Jiang Xuehe sighed again and said, "What he thinks, it has nothing to do with me." If my mother is really the county lord of Anning, and General Pei and the lord of Taoyang want to recognize me, then I will treat them as my own grandmother and uncle. As for the one you don't recognize, it's better to treat it as irrelevant. ”

"If only you could figure it out." Gu Siyan said softly.

"What's wrong with this, I'm not stupid." Jiang Xuehe paused and said, "Mother's title is actually Anning?" But her life has not been peaceful at all. ”

Jiang Xuehe even felt that it was too ironic for this title to be used on her mother.
