Chapter 374: Shocking
Gu Xi was relieved.
It's good that Pei Xuan is back.
Pei Xuan still loves Pei Tong very much, and Pei Tong also respects this elder very much. It is better for them to have him to uphold justice than the cold-hearted Pei Yan.
She immediately stood up.
Also standing up with her was the second wife.
The second wife is much more direct than her.
She folded her hands, made a gesture to the south, and said "Bodhisattva bless."
She couldn't hold back such a complicated matter, she kept panicking in her heart, and now that her husband is back, she can hide behind her husband and don't care about anything.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a few steps forward and walked out of the flower hall.
Pei Xuan's face sank like water, and he was walking through the corridor in the courtyard in front of the flower hall.
When he looked up, he saw the second wife standing against the door.
Pei Xuan's eyes suddenly softened a little, and he tried his best to make his voice listen to it a little softer: "Why are you standing here?" It's getting hotter, so get back inside. ”
Who else cares about whether it's hot or not at this time?!
The second wife anxiously whispered to her husband to exchange messages: "Do you know what happened at home? Master Yang came to find the eldest son......"
This is not the time for their husband and wife to chat, he nodded, interrupted the second wife's words a little strongly, and said, "I already know." also asked Chen Shu to close the door. If you have anything to say, we'll go back and talk about it! ”
In other words, Pei Xuan knew what was going on from beginning to end.
The second wife breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and a real smile appeared: "I know!" ”
As she spoke, she hid aside and let Pei Xuan enter the flower hall.
"Second uncle!" Pei Tong and Gu Xi greeted Pei Xuan in unison, Pei Yan just shouted "Second Brother" lightly, and Yu Tang blessed Pei Xuanfu.
Pei Xuan still gives face to this little brother and daughter-in-law who is not a few years older than his daughter. He nodded towards Yu Tang and said to Pei Yan, "Let them all go back and rest!" Let's talk to a few of us. ”
His so-called "they" refers to the second wife and other female dependents, and "a few of us" refers to the men of the Pei family.
Gu Xi immediately stood up.
She didn't want to get involved in the internal dispute of the Pei family.
Anyway, Pei Tong had already torn her face with Pei Yan, and she had made up her mind to return to Lin'an or Hangzhou when she gave birth to her eldest son, and raise the child alone.
And her edict can only count on her son.
Yu Tang was a little hesitant.
She really wanted to know what happened, and the most important thing was that she felt that Pei Yan was arrogant, and she must be unwilling to defend many things, and if she was unwilling to defend herself, she sometimes suffered a lot. She is a woman, and the world thinks that women are short-sighted and can't talk much, so she can use this to help Pei Yan say a few words.
Pei Yan sensed Yu Tang's concern, he thought for a while, and said, "Second brother, just let them stay here, right?" Instead of letting them guess with trepidation, it is better to let them know what is going on and have their own judgment. ”
"Brother!" Pei Xuan frowned, looking very disapproving.
Pei Yan didn't change his mind, and said, "Second brother, isn't the reason why the Yang family was able to provoke success is because everyone hides it and doesn't want the juniors to know?" Let them all know what happened back then! ”
"But Daddy ......," Pei Xuan said in embarrassment.
"Daddy is so protective of the eldest brother, but has the eldest brother received Daddy?" Pei Yan said indifferently, with a cold expression, "We think we are protecting the eldest son and the second son, but others think that we hurt his father." It's up to them to judge right and wrong, right? Whether to divide the Pei family or continue to be the children of the Pei family, it is up to them to decide! ”
Pei Xuan did not speak.
Pei Tong listened, looked at Pei Xuan who was smiling bitterly, and then looked at Pei Yan with a cold face, no one showed a trace of emptiness, he sighed in his heart, and faintly felt that things might not be as absolute as the Yang family said.
So what's the truth?!
When his eldest uncle told him those words, he didn't believe it, and even refuted a few words from his eldest uncle, which made his eldest uncle very unhappy. But when he returned to Pei's house in despair, and saw Pei Yan's lofty and disdainful arrogance, his chaotic heart seemed to be thrown into a flame, and it burned with a "bang", and it burned into a fire in an instant, sweeping his reason and heart, and saying things that should not be said......
But if you say you regret it, it doesn't seem to be.
More like being afraid.
Fear really makes him more unacceptable than now!
Pei Tong took a deep breath.
Pei Xuan said helplessly: "Then let's sit down and talk first!" When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Pei Tong's body, shook his head gently, and sighed very disapprovingly.
Pei Tong was even more panicked, and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but his mouth was dry, and he didn't know what to say.
Pei Xuan had already called Pei Wu loudly.
Pei Wu soon came over and stood outside the door and answered.
Pei Xuan instructed him: "You and Pei Qi are guarding at the door, if Master Yang and Master Gu come over, please ask them to have a cup of tea in the living room first, and then invite them to come over when we finish talking here." ”
Pei Wu left in response.
Pei Xuan instructed Mama Jin: "Close the door." ”
Mama Jin let out an "oh", woke up like a dream, and hurriedly glanced at Qingyuan and the others, and walked out.
Qingyuan and the others also understood, and all the hulala retreated, and they were about to close the door.
Who knew that Pei Yan said: "The doors are open, you stay away, just don't let people come." ”
In this way, the eyes in the flower hall can see the scene in the courtyard, and it is unlikely that anyone wants to eavesdrop.
Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan approvingly.
Pei Yan smiled comfortingly at his wife's sparkling eyes, but his mood suddenly improved.
Who can please all the people of this world?
As long as the people he cares about are satisfied, he'll be fine.
Pei Yan laughed silently without scruples this time, and handed a fruit to Yu Tang with a gentle expression, and whispered: "I don't do anything bad in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." You can rest assured, I have nothing to do with the conscience of heaven and earth. ”
Of course Yu Tang believed it, but she was still not at ease, and said in a low voice: "Then you can't let others gossip, be misunderstood, and be bullied!" ”
It turns out that his Ah Tang thinks so!
Pei Yan endured it, so he didn't laugh out loud.
In the past, his father and his mother were always afraid that he would bully others and be hated, but now, his wife is afraid that he will be bullied and insulted...... Is this considered thirty years of Hexi, thirty years of Hedong?!
"Okay." Pei Yan replied, and the smile couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Pei Xuan looked at the little brothers whispering there, and coughed heavily.
Pei Tong looked at Pei Yan and Yu Tang as if there was no one next to him, and the anger that had just been extinguished in his heart rekindled.
Why is their family ruined, but his third uncle is like a beautiful flower?
Pei Tong looked at Pei Yan coldly.
Pei Yan's face was expressionless.
Pei Xuan let out a long sigh, and then said, "Ah Tong, tell me first, what did your uncle tell you?" ”
Pei Tong glanced at Pei Yan, then at Gu Xi, and said in a deep voice: "My eldest uncle said that my father is not violently ill. ”
Yu Tang and the others all widened their eyes.
Pei Tong saw it, was very satisfied, and continued: "Because the afternoon before my father died of illness, my father also brought a letter to my eldest uncle, saying that he would go to him to discuss something in the evening. As a result, my eldest uncle waited for my father all night, but my grandfather did not arrive, and my eldest uncle thought that my grandfather had delayed something. The next morning, my uncle thought that my father would come to the door in advance and explain some matters to him. For this reason, he arrived at Yemen an hour earlier than usual, who knows that not only did he not wait for my father, but my father did not go to the morning court for no reason, and until noon, he knew that my father was gone. ”
The Pei brothers should have known about this matter a long time ago, whether it was Pei Yan or Pei Xuan, they were very calm, and Pei Xuan even asked Pei Tong: "Then why do you say that this matter is related to your third uncle?" ”
Pei Tong's expression immediately became fierce. He said: "My father and the third uncle have a very bad relationship. My father thinks that the emperor is capable, but my third uncle, like his mentor Zhang Ying, thinks that he should establish a long and long-term heir. Because of this, my father and my third uncle have not been in contact with each other for more than half a year, and they ignore each other when they meet. But on the night when my father died of a violent illness, my third uncle suddenly came to our house and had a big fight with my father. It stands to reason that when such a thing happens, most of my third uncle will leave with his sleeves and come back here for the night. But that night, the third uncle stayed at my house, and he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and met his father in the garden, who was also so angry that he couldn't sleep, and the two quarreled again. Then Daddy died not long after he returned to the house. It wasn't my uncle who told me, but my mother. My mother had long suspected that my father's death was unusual, but there was no evidence. ”
"Because your third uncle and your father had a political disagreement, and they quarreled the night before your father died, so you suspect that your third uncle killed your father?" Pei Xuan looked at Pei Tong as if he was looking at an idiot.
The fire in Pei Tong's heart burned even more vigorously, he was so angry that he stood up all of a sudden, and said loudly: "Second uncle, you don't have to make excuses for the third uncle. If you don't believe it, ask the third uncle in person, why did my grandfather suddenly come to the capital from Lin'an early the morning after my father's violent illness, and my grandfather's body had not yet been collected, so my grandfather quarreled with the third uncle fiercely? At that time, why did my grandfather whip my third uncle three times? Even if you don't know about it, second uncle, my mother knows. For so many years, the third uncle didn't let my mother enter Beijing, wasn't he afraid that my mother would tell me about it? ”
Pei Xuan looked at Pei Yan in amazement.
Pei Yan didn't say anything.
Pei Tong was very dissatisfied, and asked Pei Yan in a sharp voice: "Don't you dare to admit it?" ”
There must be a reason for that, too.
Yu Tang bit his lip and reached out to hold Pei Yan's hand tightly.
Pei Yan's hands were cold and a little stiff.
But Yu Tang's hands are very hot, and they still have the softness unique to women.
Pei Yan smiled suddenly, slowly shook Yu Tang's hand back, and said calmly and firmly: "Not bad." That morning, I was punished by your grandfather by kneeling in front of your father's bed and being whipped three times by his old man. ”
