Chapter 375: The Mire
Pei Yan replied confidently, which surprised everyone present.
Pei Tong was even more anxious, his eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Then you just admit it?" β
When Pei Xuan heard this, he was also anxious, and reprimanded Pei Tong: "You have this IQ? Your third uncle admits that he was beaten, so he's sorry for your father? If you talk like that again, don't confront us! You can think as much as you want? Anyway, if you want to pretend to be asleep, none of us can wake you up! β
"Second uncle!" Pei Tong looked at Pei Xuan with wide eyes, looking like "you actually defend the third uncle", and then his eyes gradually darkened, and he looked like "the third uncle and you are the mother of the same mother after all, and at the critical moment, you will still defend the third uncle".
What a idea!
Not to mention the second wife, even Gu Xi wanted to roll his eyes at him when he saw it.
Fortunately, Pei Xuan has always had a gentle temperament, and he treats the children and juniors in the family even more lovingly, even if Pei Tong is like this, he still said patiently: "You only believe what you hear and see, and you have prejudice against your third uncle first, how can you listen to what he says?" If you really want to 'vindicate your father', do you listen to both sides and make a decision based on your own knowledge? It's not about who has a louder voice and who says something more in line with your heart, you think who's right. Do you think I have any sense in what I said? β
Pei Tong didn't speak for a long time, but when he spoke, he slapped the table with a "snap" and sneered: "Okay, this matter is not right for me." Since you have said so, second uncle, if I still blindly compare the volume of voice, it will seem that I am childish and ridiculous. But why should I stand on my uncle's side? That's because my uncle has a handwritten letter from my father, in which my father told my uncle that because he supported the establishment of the third prince as the prince, not only the third uncle was dissatisfied, but my grandfather was also dissatisfied, and he wrote letters to reprimand my father again and again. Daddy said that his grandfather was stubborn, and he couldn't pull back the nine cows that he had identified. In this matter, the grandfather will definitely be on the side of the third uncle. Even if he tried to persuade him, his grandfather would not listen to him. Daddy was also worried that his grandfather would come to the capital in person and pressure him to return to Lin'an's hometown with filial piety. If things really came to that point, he couldn't give up all his efforts, so he made an appointment to meet my eldest uncle that nightβthey were going to visit the third prince that night, hand over my eldest uncle to the third prince, and find a way to make my uncle a squire of the sixth department...... What's more, my dad has always been in good health, and he doesn't even have a headache and brain fever on weekdays. β
He said, sneering: "Hasn't the Pei family always been proud of following the old etiquette? My father's habit of riding and archery since he was a child, how could he become violently ill inexplicably? β
Therefore, a few words from Master Yang made Pei Tong suspicious!
Pei Xuan suddenly frowned, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Pei Yan.
Everyone also looked towards Pei Yan.
Yu Tang hurriedly squeezed Pei Yan's hand and silently gave him silent support.
This time, Pei Yan did not pinch her back quietly, but put her hand on his lap, above board, holding Yu Tang's hand unabashedly, looking at his brother Pei Xuan, and said indifferently: "Second brother, the death of the eldest brother, I know you also have a lot of confusion, why don't you talk about it this time?" After listening to Pei Tong's words, do you have anything to say to me? β
Pei Xuan, who was still as calm as a pine, listened, but suddenly his face turned pale, and he looked at Pei Yan several times The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Pei Yan sighed.
Pei Tong laughed "haha", while laughing, he also wiped the water from the corner of his eyes, and said to Pei Xuan sarcastically: "Second uncle, it can be seen that you are also like me, you were deceived by the third uncle!" Why do you bother to administer this justice? I'm afraid this justice belongs to the third uncle, and it has nothing to do with you and me! β
"Shut up!" The kind Pei Xuan, for the first time, showed his muscles on his face, and roared at Pei Tong in a low voice, "Your third uncle, there is nothing wrong!" If there is a mistake, it is also your father's fault, your grandfather's fault! β
"Ahh Yu Tang's apricot eyes were round.
The second wife pulled the corner of Pei Xuan's clothes in horror, and shouted worriedly, "Second Master".
Pei Xuan's face turned pale and he didn't speak.
Gu Xi looked left and right, his eyes turned quickly, and finally settled on the hands of Yu Tang and Pei Yan that were tightly held together.
Pei Yan laughed, closed his somewhat red eyes, and then opened his eyes to look at Pei Xuan, and said, "Brother, it turns out that you have always known!" I thought ......"
His voice was a little sad, and there was a little imperceptible happiness, which made Yu Tang's heart tighten.
Pei Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "I know that you don't want me to know, and I also want to pretend that I don't know." But at this time, if I pretend not to know, I'm afraid I won't be able to end well. It's also in vain that you and Daddy have been hiding from me, wanting me to be a clean sage......"
"Brother!" Pei Yan interrupted Pei Xuan's words with some eagerness.
Pei Xuan waved his hand at Pei Yan, his expression suddenly tired, and he said in a deep voice: "I know, I know everything." But I can't let you carry this pot alone. When Daddy was alive, he once told us more than once that brothers work together, and their profits are gold. Brother doesn't believe it, he trusts the people of the Yang family more, I can't control it, but I can manage myself, listen to Daddy, be a good brother, and be a good uncle. β
"Brother!" Pei Yan shouted Pei Xuan again, and the corners of his eyes began to redden.
Pei Xuan smiled helplessly and patted Pei Yan's shoulder.
"What are you talking about?" Pei Tong looked at his two uncles in a panic, and said sharply, "What do you mean by this?" What do you all know? What do you all know? As he spoke, he stood up, walked in front of Pei Xuan, lowered his head pleadingly, and hissed Pei Xuan: "Second uncle, I, can I still trust you?" β
Pei Xuan looked at Pei Tong fixedly and did not speak.
Pei Tong panicked all of a sudden.
"You sit down first!" Pei Yan suddenly said to Pei Tong indifferently, "I'll tell you!" lest thou be foolish. β
Pei Tong glared at Pei Yan and stood there motionless.
Pei Yan didn't force him anymore, but said: "My eldest brother and I are indeed at odds with each other, and there are not many people who know about it in this capital. Why? Because supporting the succession of the three princes was originally an opportunistic thing. Speaking of this, he glanced at Pei Tong.
Pei Tong's face was red and his ears were red.
Since ancient times, it has been the establishment of the three princes, and there are indeed some misdeeds, and it is estimated that no one will shout out.
Pei Yan saw it, as if he was very satisfied that he was still a little shameless, his expression eased a lot, and he was about to continue, but was stopped by Pei Xuan.
He was depressed and said, "Yaoguang, I'll talk about it!" I've always pretended to be deaf and dumb, but this time, you let me straighten my back and be an elder brother and an uncle! β
Pei Yan didn't speak again.
Pei Xuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Ah Tong, your father did not die of a violent illness. β
Pei Tong's expression froze.
Pei Xuan said: "Your father was killed by your grandfather. β
"Impossible!" Pei Tong was dumbfounded and retorted loudly, "My grandfather ......"
Although I haven't seen much since I was a child, it makes people feel very kind and close.
"No, it can't be!" Pei Tong muttered, looking at the people in the room as if asking for help.
Pei Yan didn't seem to be able to face it, his eyelids drooped, Yu Tang, it was only about Pei Yan's emotions, although he was shocked, he was more worried, so he simply got up and stood up, hugged Pei Yan's shoulders and didn't say anything, and gently stroked Pei Yan's arm. Gu Xi looked at him, but his face was full of hesitation, he didn't know what to do, and he was even more at a loss than him.
The coldness spread quickly from the fingertips to the tips of the heart.
Who else in this world can treat him wholeheartedly? Who can support him wholeheartedly?
Pei Tong looked around blankly, feeling as if he was in the wrong place, not knowing where the way out was, and not knowing where the way from was.
"It's true!" Pei Xuan looked pained, but he still insisted, "Your father supported the third prince, not only transferred 200,000 taels of silver from the family as the son of the sect, but also used the flying pigeon in the family to reveal the whereabouts of the second prince to the third prince, so that the second prince was assassinated. Your grandfather did not approve of him being an official in the court, and always hoped that he would abide by the ancestral system and return to his hometown to keep his business. Not only did your father not listen, but he also intensified and became involved in the competition for the throne of the prince, and if he was not careful, he would even plunge the Pei family into ruin. Your grandfather came to the capital quietly. Your third uncle went to your father before your grandfather, and persuaded him to turn back. But your father didn't listen to him, and he had a fight with your third uncle. Then your grandfather came to your house, and then your father died violently. As for why your grandfather beat your third uncle, I don't know. But I know that your father died of poison after drinking a cup of tea handed to him by your grandfather.
"Your grandfather felt sorry for your father, and he couldn't relieve the pain of killing his son, so he committed suicide by hunger strike."
Pei Xuan choked and said, "This is also the reason why your grandfather went so soon after your father died." β
Yu Tang's hand didn't know where to put it.
Is it because of this that Pei Yan can't see those flowers blooming in the summer sun?
Yu Tang hugged Pei Yan tighter in his arms.
Seeing his father kill his brother and then commit suicide, but he couldn't do anything about it, how painful should it be for Pei Yan, who loved his father like that?
"Radiance!" She couldn't help but whisper in his ear.
Thinking of the scene of Pei Yan living in Lin'an like a shadow in his previous life.
How lonely and lonely was he in that world?
Who comforted him in the long night?
She thought of the gossip in Lin'an City about Pei Yan taking away the sect master of Pei You.
Why?!
Yu Tang couldn't wait to put the person in front of him in the palm of his hand, protect it well, and put it away properly, so as not to be frightened and avoid him from wind and rain.
"It's not your fault!" She is eccentric and short-sighted, "It's obviously the master's fault." If it weren't for his greed for fame and fortune and his unwillingness to be the son of the Pei family honestly, how could he have caused these things in the future? Isn't the old lady talented and rich? But did the old lady shout that he wanted to go out to be an official? Want to go down in history? It's him who doesn't follow the rules, it's he who caused the trouble, and he wants you and the old lady to clean up the mess for him. You can't be sad for such a brother! β
