The next day, the old lady of the Xu Mansion came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion early in the morning.

Lu Yao came in and greeted Jiang Yu, a little undecided: "If Old Madam Xu sees Madame's current situation, I'm afraid she will be very sad." Master, you say...... Invite her in? ”

Jiang Yu didn't give Lu Yao a good look.

Lu Yao realized that he had said the wrong thing, and bit his lower lip: "Master, I didn't mean that, it's just that in the courtyard of the lady, there is even a lack of a maid who pours tea and water......

"You're not going to arrange it right away?" Jiang Yu glanced at him with disgust.

In fact, Lu Yao was waiting for this sentence, and he was ready early.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will do it." Lu Yao was just about to turn around and come out, and informed the people below to make arrangements.

I heard Jiang Yu's command behind him.

"Take the best tea." Jiang Yu said.

"Yes." A big stone in Lu Yao's heart finally landed.

Here, Gang Peilin was sitting in the backyard embroidering, and Liulan was rubbing silk threads for her.

The two of them were talking, but they didn't feel unbearable in the morning light. But suddenly a string of servants rushed in, followed by the servants and guards. The empty backyard was about to be filled with them in an instant.

"What are you doing?" Liulan couldn't help but be a little angry: "Who allowed you to come in without permission?" ”

Lu Yao hurriedly ran over and saluted Gan Peilin: "Madame, don't be angry, the old lady of the Xu family is a guest, these ...... It is a must-have decency. ”

"Decent?" Liulan sneered lightly: "That is, you also know that Madame has been living a very undignified life these days." ”

"That's not what I said." Lu Yao said in a low voice: "We all know that the cause of the matter is not simple, and it cannot be revealed in one or two sentences. It's really not easy for the master to be willing to care for him like this. Miss Liulan, it's important to treat guests now, don't affect the Xu family in our house, don't you say? ”

Liulan originally wanted to have a few words with him, but his words were also reasonable, so he swallowed his dissatisfaction. "Come with me and prepare some refreshments for serving. A few of you accompanied the lady to welcome the old lady of the Xu family in. ”

Gan Peilin put down the needle and thread in his hand and sighed lightly: "Put this into the inner room for me." ”

"Yes." The well-behaved servant hurriedly responded.

When he walked out of his yard, Gan Peilin saw his grandmother coming. Along with her, there is also Xu Baisen's wife.

"Peilin." Mrs. Xu felt that she was a lot thinner at a glance, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Grandmother." Gan Peilin greeted her enthusiastically and held her hand. "Why are you here, Peilin should have gone to see you. This is the new sister-in-law. ”

"Qiluo, come, I've seen your sister Peilin." Mrs. Xu's eyes were moist.

"Kira has seen her sister." The bride looked at Gan Peilin a little timidly.

There are still some marks on her face that have not faded. It should have been left by someone last time.

Gan Peilin smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law is gentle and lovely, and sure enough, my cousin has a good eye." ”

Kira lowered her head, the worry on her face unconcealed.

"Let's go into the inner room and talk." Gan Peilin helped Mrs. Xu and slowly walked into her inner room.

Before sitting down, Liulan led the maid to put all kinds of fruit cakes on the fish, and the fragrant tea was the best in the Jiang Yu room, and when it was brought in, the tea fragrance filled the entire inner room.

Mrs. Xu's lips finally had a smile. "It seems that the messages that are circulating outside are just messages after all."

"Don't worry about grandmother, everything is fine with Peilin." She said this, but the worry in her heart overflowed: "It's just my cousin......"

At the mention of his cousin, Kira raised his head, his eyes were full of mist: "Can the Governor help ......?"

Mrs. Xu coughed lightly.

When Kira comes to his mouth, he can only swallow it.

"Even if my sister-in-law doesn't tell me, I will try my best to find my cousin's whereabouts. It's just that...... Batch after batch of people were sent out, and no news has come back so far. Gan Peilin was afraid that she would be worried, and said: "But as the saying goes, no news is good news." It may be that my cousin was tripped up by something and couldn't get out for a while. But I think that with my cousin's ingenuity, it will never be fine. ”

Kira nodded, and tears fell from her eyes.

She quickly turned her face sideways and wiped it gently with a silk.

"Peilin." Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Grandmother came here at this time just to tell you that you can't interfere in this matter." ”

Qiluo and Gan Peilin looked at Mrs. Xu with the same surprised eyes.

"Why did my grandmother say that?" Gan Peilin was really puzzled.

"The emperor has issued a secret decree to arrest Xu Baisen. Although I don't know if the defeat of the Ao family army is directly related to him. But since the emperor is suspicious of him, it will be difficult for him to get out of this matter. Mrs. Xu's face was full of worry, and the haze was thick: "Once he is caught, he will be sent to the palace to be tortured in words and deeds." Our Xu family has already evacuated the storm of the imperial court, and now that people are leaving, they just want to count on the righteous people in the court, and it is difficult to say a word for Bai Sen. If you want to retreat with your whole body, you can only pray for God's blessing. ”

Mrs. Xu said this, and she felt uncomfortable: "I know that you have grown up with him since you were a child, and you have a strong brotherhood. If something happens to him, you will support him even if you take his life. But Pei Lin, now standing behind you is not only Xu Baisen, but also Gan Mansion, Xu Mansion, and Dadu Governor's Mansion. If you take one wrong step, you won't be able to recover. ”

When Qiluo heard this, her face was bloodless with fright, she stood up and gritted her teeth, and knelt in front of Mrs. Xu: "Grandmother, daughter-in-law beg, don't give up on my husband no matter what." He will not betray the court, he will not do those things. Grandmother, aren't we here to ask the Grand Governor's wife to help save Parson? How can you tell her to stay out of the way. ”

Mrs. Xu sighed, and her tone was slightly cold: "You get up, cry what are you crying." Aren't Parson and my wife still dead? ”

Qiluo could hear the weight of this, and was so frightened that she quickly got up, and she didn't dare to cry.

"What my grandmother meant, Pei Lin understands." Gan Peilin gasped, but his mood was heavy. "Your Majesty...... I didn't believe in Da Sima Mansion for a long time, and I didn't believe in my father. I have carried my husband, but now I am also on guard, and I can't wait to get rid of it quickly. As for the Xu Mansion, the emperor's original intention was to support and want to have another force in the court to balance the current situation, but my cousin didn't know why he was framed and fell to this ......"

Speaking of this, Gan Peilin's eyebrows frowned, and his tone was slightly cold: "I think, maybe the emperor wants to find the answer more than us." He might not have given up his cousin's pawn so early. ”

These words made Mrs. Xu's dry eyes sprout a glimmer of hope: "Peilin, what do you mean...... The emperor doesn't want the Xu family to be involved in such a turmoil? Does he still hope to reuse the Xu family? ”

"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded stubbornly: "The only thing that the emperor can use is now only the queen's hidden soldiers, as well as King Yeqing." But as far as I know, the relationship between the emperor and the queen is not so glue-like. And King Yeqing is a royal family after all. The royal family will inevitably have ambitions. The emperor naturally didn't want another King Shengqing to pop up around him. The Xu family is an urgent move for the emperor. ”

Mrs. Xu nodded again and again: "Not bad." ”

It's just that before that, she didn't know that there was also a rift between the emperor and the queen. However, Pei Lin said it conclusively, that is, she must know the secret in public. Mrs. Xu let out a long sigh and said, "Grandmother hopes that you are safe and don't get involved in such court disputes." Pei Lin, you are already the Lady of the Grand Duke, and my grandmother hopes that you can shoulder your responsibilities. Do you understand that you are teaching your husband and children for the governor of the capital, and taking care of the housework, instead of being like a man? ”

"What my grandmother said, Pei Lin understands."

She knew that her grandmother wanted her to reconcile with Jiang Yu and take care of her own future.

After all, there is still a princess Zhen in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Peilin will handle it carefully." She said this, but in her heart she had a different plan.

She has to think of a way so that the emperor can't attack the Xu family no matter what. The best way to do this is to ......

"Pei Lin......" Mrs. Xu saw that she was a little distracted, hesitated for a moment, and still asked: "The rumors outside are not enough to believe, but this matter has been in my grandmother's heart for many days, if I don't get an answer from you, my grandmother is really ......."

"Yes." Gan Peilin also did not hesitate, one word said everything.

Mrs. Xu's face was finally relieved, and it became gloomy again: "Is it true?" That ......"

It was really Xue Baoyun who teamed up with Mrs. Gan to kill her daughter, and it was really Pei Lin who calculated her mother-in-law in order to avenge her mother.

So what to do now?

She calculated her mother-in-law, could Jiang Yu still spare her?

"Grandmother." Gan Peilin got up, walked to Mrs. Gan's side, and knelt down. Her face rested affectionately on Mrs. Xu's knees, just like when she was a child, lying on her grandmother's lap and coquettish. "Pei Lin was raised by you since childhood, what kind of character Pei Lin is, you must know better than anyone else, right?"

Mrs. Xu reached out and stroked her cheek, and her heart ached.

"It's because my grandmother has no ability that she can't protect your mother and daughter......"

"Nope." Gan Peilin gently hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "My grandmother gave my mother a calm and calm temperament, and also gave Peilin the courage to be unfazed." No matter what happens, Peilin is sure that he can get out of the predicament. Grandmother, you and your grandfather must take good care of themselves, the good days of our Xu family are still ahead. ”

This child's words are like a reassuring pill. But Mrs. Xu couldn't swallow it.

"Grandmother knows you can do it. But Peilin, if you can choose, my grandmother and grandfather would rather you live a mediocre and healthy life, rather than live this kind of ......."

Licking blood on the tip of the knife, Mrs. Xu still didn't dare to say these words.

"Grandmother, what kind of day you live today is Peilin's own choice." Gan Peilin raised his head and stared at her: "Riding the wind and waves and being indomitable is Peilin's decision." ”

She turned and nodded to Rulan.

Liulan brought Gan Peilin's embroidery today.

"Grandmother, you see, this is embroidered by Peilin. A small boat, riding the wind and waves, heading in the expected direction. Gan Peilin lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "You know that Peilin has always disliked embroidery, but you see, whether this wind and waves are lifelike." As long as you practice diligently, Peilin's embroidery work will definitely grow. ”

Mrs. Xu stroked the embroidery, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked: "You, your temperament is most like your mother." looks delicate, but that tenacity can break through the sky. ”

Right! My grandmother was right! Gan Peilin sneered in her heart, she just wanted to break through this day.
