"At this time, you still want to provoke the relationship between our father and daughter, Bai Yaoqing, I have believed you for many years, and I always feel that this family is up and down, and you can take care of it so that I can rest assured, I never thought that my wife and children died at your hands......"

"No, no, sir." Aunt Bai bit a few words, and refuted over and over again, "I admit what I do, but Zhiri's death really has nothing to do with me, and the tea that Mrs. drank may not be able to make her die like this, at most, her body is uncomfortable, and the fetus is unstable, sir, you know it!" ”

Pei Gui said coldly: "Is there a difference?" How long will your ugly face of defense last? It's not Lan Yi who will really bring disaster to my family, but you! According to what Lan Yi said, from today on, you will honestly stay in the backyard firewood room until she gets married. Lan Yi is kind, and I am willing to wait for Miaoqing's marriage to be decided before punishing you, but I don't have patience, the children of Pei Fu should have been regarded as Ah Ying's children, and your death will not affect Miaoqing anything, so you will have a good taste of the food Lan Yi has eaten there, and maybe at that time, you will sincerely regret it. ”

He raised his head and said sharply, "Someone!" ”

There were cronies waiting outside, and a few came in when they heard the words, bowing their heads to listen to the order.

Pei Gui pointed to Aunt Bai on the ground, and said: "Aunt Bai made a big mistake, you locked her up in the firewood room, strictly guarded her, did not allow her to make a fuss, and did not allow her to take a step, no one was allowed to visit, as for the people around her, especially Mother Xu, they were also arrested, take care of them, and when I think about it, I will order it to be dealt with." ”

These people often follow Pei Gui and only listen to him, although they are a little surprised by such a decision, they still step forward and say "offended", and pull Aunt Bai up.

Aunt Bai was already in trouble, and she still said to herself: "Master, the eldest girl is a demon and a scourge, and she will definitely bring disaster to the family in the future, if you don't believe me, just wait for the family to be killed!" ”

Pei Gui pointed at her, his hands trembling with anger, "What are you waiting for, plug her mouth!" ”

In a whimpering voice, Aunt Bai was finally taken down, and a henchman like Mother Xu, who was still in a state of confusion, was arrested, and according to Pei Gui's meaning, she would be interrogated and interrogated when the time came, and maybe there were some private things that she didn't know, so she had to settle accounts with Aunt Bai.

In this game, Lanyi won a big victory.

However, Lan Yi had no pleasure at the moment, and in her indifferent gaze, the fact that her mother would never come back hit her, and at the same time, she faintly felt a little panic, she watched her father sit on the chair in a dejected manner, and let out a long sigh.

Lan Yi said timidly: "Daddy, if you feel any discomfort in your heart, you can tell me." ”

Pei Gui raised his head, glanced at her, finally shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "You are still a child after all, if your mother is here, I can still tell her, but where do I go to find your mother now?" ”

The father and daughter thought of going together, Lan Yi felt sour, leaned over, lowered his head and said, "Daddy, if Mother knows and knows that we finally helped her take revenge, she will be happy." ”

No one answered, Pei Gui just closed his eyes, and just when Lan Yi thought that he shouldn't stay here, Pei Gui opened his mouth and asked two questions.

"Earlier, His Royal Highness King Gong told me that he inadvertently saved a doctor who saw a doctor, and asked the other party, saying that he was hunted down and killed because of the Pei Mansion, which let me know that your mother's tea was added something, and this whole thing was arranged by you early in the morning, right?" Pei Gui took a deep breath and laughed miserably, "You know that if you tell me directly, I probably won't believe you, right?" ”

Lan Yi bit her lip and hesitated for a while, but finally didn't want to lie to her father again, "Yes, Daddy, I asked Ning Fu to bring a message to His Royal Highness King Gong before, and asked him to help bring the doctor to the capital, because at that time I was not sure if Aunt Bai was acting behind the demon, I always had to ask first, if I told you directly, you may be suspicious, some things are actually more effective for outsiders than relatives." ”

Lan Yi bent his knees and said sincerely: "And I don't want to wronged people in vain, I have to be sure to inform you that Aunt Bai really did something to Li Xing, so I can be sure that my guess is not wrong." ”

Pei Gui patted the chair handle and said, "You get up, I don't mean to blame you." I just thought, I, as a father, really thought it was such a coincidence, and I really thought that my future son-in-law had accidentally discovered our family's affairs, and I heard his suggestion to come over to discuss with you, and I listened to you to set up this situation. Lanyi, do you think I'm a failure? When your mother died, was she disappointed and hated me? ”

Lan Yi was silent for a while, it is true that when her mother died, she had lost all hope for Pei Gui, so she told her daughter that she should be safe and sound, even if she married low, she could control the small family as a wife, Pei Gui had worn out her care for the affection of husband and wife, and also rubbed away all her expectations for a good marriage.

But Lan Yi wouldn't say that, her mother had closed her eyes and would never break away again, even if her father died of depression, she couldn't get her back.

"Ah Niang was sad at that time, but she hoped that your father could live a healthy life, and I think she forgave and let go after all. Those aunts, she doesn't like them, but as a woman, she knows very well that everyone suffers, so she has never harmed the aunts and those concubines, even to these people, how can she hate you? She's taught me so much, but she's never taught me to hate you. ”

Pei Gui burst into tears when he said this, perhaps it was at the moment when he reached middle age and the people around him were suddenly unraveled that Pei Gui realized what he had lost.

He got up, patted Lan Yi on the shoulder, and said in a dumb voice: "Lan Yi, I think that Pei Mansion can't live without a hostess, but I don't want to continue, do you think Aunt Li and Aunt Leng, who can still take care of the house?" ”

Some people are not good at expressing their emotions, and they feel ashamed even when they say it, Pei Gui is such a person, maybe "disappointed" and "hate", such words and phrases are already the limit, and Feng Ying's remembrance and feelings are only saved in the sentence "unwilling to continue".

Lan Yi understood.

Although there is no lady in charge in the family, this kind of situation almost does not exist in the official family, but if the love is deep and meaningful, it is not necessary to marry, Lan believes that his father is willing to use this kind of action to remember his mother, and he is not unhappy in his heart, and he pondered for a while, she said: "Aunt Li looks good, although she has a docile personality, she teaches it very well, even if she can't manage it well for a while, after a long time, with the help of the steward, you can gradually get started." ”

Pei Gui nodded, "That's it." Then he didn't seem to want to say more, got up and walked out, and waved his hand by the way, signaling that Lan Yi didn't need to send it out.

Lan Yi looked at his father's back, the loneliness and amazement in it, he really couldn't hide it, sure enough, tonight's incident was even more of a blow to him, maybe the estrangement between father and daughter was more serious than before, but Lan Yi believed that it would be better in the future, and time would slowly heal the wound on his head.

A few days later, the royal family rewarded the princess with ten taels of gold, seven hundred taels of silver, and other things such as gold belt rings, which are difficult to describe, because the Pei family is special, Lan Yi has no mother, and the earrings and other things that should have been given to the princess's mother were folded into silver taels and other vase treasures, which are all counted as dowry gifts, and there are more things given to Lan Yi, there are subsidies for the queen in the palace, in addition to gold accessories such as gold collars and gold hairpins and gold earrings that should be purchased according to the rules, many valuable ornaments have been added.

Pei Gui wore court clothes to welcome the people in the palace all the way from outside the door, and after receiving the ceremony, he took Pei's mansion up and down to the forbidden palace three times and bowed nine times, and then welcomed people in, and the banquet inside had already been set up, although it was not as lively as General Mu's house, it was not decent.

Aunt Li was so busy that she knew that these things given to Lan Yi would be carried to Prince Gong's Mansion with Lan Yi when she was welcomed, and she didn't even go to the banquet directly, and personally counted the books one by one in the treasury, for fear that there would be a little mistake at that time, and she would be caught by someone with a heart, and she would be accused of disrespecting the heavenly family and embarrassing Lan Yi.

During the banquet, several officials from the Ministry of Rites came to toast, saying that there was no housewife to entertain the female dependents, and everything had to be supported by the unmarried princess, praising Miss Pei for her young age, she was already quite stylish, and said more, she still had to introduce a good marriage to Pei Gui.

But Pei Gui had just experienced Aunt Bai's matter, and he shirked in every way between his words, and finally the official sent by Honglu Temple to usher in the salute said: "My lord, I also have to think about it, if I am valued by the saint in the future, not to mention that so many people want to stuff people to you, even if the saint also wants to ask a few words, it is better to pick a lovely one first, so as not to even have no preparation." ”

Pei Gui said in words that these people who were soaked in rules and gifts all day long could only pretend to be drunk in the end, but he faintly felt in his heart that maybe he would break his last promise to Lan Yi sooner or later.

After the banquet was over, Pei Gui simply didn't meet with Lan again, and went back to the study to recuperate, Lan Yi didn't know what happened to the banquet of the male family in front of him, but he heard Ning Fu come to report, saying that the second girl secretly left the table while the meal was lively, and she didn't know what to do.

Lan Yi knew that she was not right, and she was a different person from Pei Miaoyun, so she estimated that she couldn't persuade her back, so she said: "Go and inquire, I guess she went to see Aunt Bai." Father only said to the outside world that Aunt Bai had made a big mistake, but he didn't elaborate on what the mistake was, Pei Miaoqing must be unconvinced, and if she didn't ask clearly, where could she stop. ”

And just as she thought, Pei Miaoqing originally thought about it today, to behave well in front of those destined women and ladies, and strive for a good marriage for herself, but her mother had an accident, she had been restless, and her speech was not as smooth and nice as usual, and in the end she couldn't help it, and while not many people were paying attention, she still took her personal maid to the firewood room under the pretext of changing clothes.

Aunt Bai was always shouting for the first two days, but as soon as she shouted, a mother-in-law came in and blocked her mouth, which was really a bit of a crime.

When Pei Miaoqing's voice sounded outside the window, she suddenly saw hope, rushed over to nail the window edge, and cried: "Miaoqing, Miaoqing, you have to save me out!" ”

Pei Miaoqing also cried a little, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, be quiet, I gave a lot of silver to the guard, so that I can come and say a few words to you, if it alarms Daddy's side, he doesn't know how to scold me." ”

Aunt Bai was very angry, "I have served him for so many years, I have been doing a little low before and after the saddle, which thing in this house is not taken care of by me, and now I am angry to such a point, your father has no heart!" There's a feast ahead, right? Phew, the ruthless and short-lived little hoof, I really think I'm a phoenix. ”

Pei Miaoqing said: "What's the use of you saying this now?" What is it that has caused this field? The daughter had the heart to let people inquire, but the wind and lotus courtyard were so secretive that she couldn't ask anything. ”

When it came to the Wind Lotus Courtyard, the hatred that arose that night made Aunt Bai sober up a lot in an instant, and asked repeatedly: "Why can't you ask, the Wind Lotus Courtyard is full of our people, how much will you know, could it be that the little hoof is so ruthless that it has replaced all the people?" ”

Pei Miaoqing said eagerly: "Isn't that the case, the people arranged by my aunt before are gone, saying that they are not good at serving the eldest sister, or selling or killing, but now the wind lotus courtyard and the iron bucket are like water, and when my daughter learns the news, it is already late." ”

Aunt Bai has been planning for many years and turned into ashes, and sorrow comes from it, "This family, after all, your father has the final say, this back house, but he doesn't want to interfere, if he really wants to interfere, no one can stop it, he wants the news not to leak, no one dares to talk more, I did something wrong before, and I stepped on his heart......"

Pei Miaoqing was in a hurry, for fear that someone would come to urge, interrupting Aunt Bai's emotion, "You only said what happened, what should I do, my brother is useless, after all, only I can rescue you!" ”

Aunt Bai gritted her teeth, "Your father knows about my harm to Feng Ying." ”

The name "Feng Ying" has not been mentioned in Pei's Mansion for many years, Pei Miaoqing was stunned for a moment, only then reacted, covered her mouth for a while, and then said in a very small voice: "Auntie, you actually murdered Mrs. Zhengmu, how can you do such a thing?" ”

Aunt Bai said impatiently: "I just wanted to damage her body and keep the right to manage the family in my hands, who would have thought that she would be so uncompetitive and would die directly." Don't be surprised at this, it's not that I've done so many things, how can you compare to your daughter-in-law for so many years of food and clothing? After enjoying the blessings, I still talk about these things that I don't have, and I don't feel bad. I'm telling you, now you have a way to get me out, but you have to put your face down. ”

Pei Miaoqing hurriedly said, "Auntie, say quickly." ”

Aunt Bai said: "Before the head, you said that the mother of Concubine Ying, Mrs. Ruan, saw you in Tanyin Temple, and I liked it very much, I have given a lot of gifts in your name during this time, you take all our belongings, go to Ruan's mansion to ask to see her, and beg her to reward you with the position of Concubine Yuwang's side concubine." ”
