Early in the morning, Jiang Bing received a message from Dali Temple, saying that someone had discovered a case of abduction and trafficking of young girls outside the city of Beijing.

This made him feel very surprised, according to reason, most of this kind of abduction and trafficking of young girls happened in relatively remote places, and he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Jiang Bing left in a hurry after breakfast.

Liluo came to Shen Mansion early in the morning, and she was in Shen Xitong's courtyard at this time, and heard that Shen Mansion had a special guest today.

This guest is six feet tall and looks dignified, and at this moment he is standing in the main hall of the Shen Mansion, this man is Pei Qixuan, the eldest son of the Pei Mansion.

After hearing that this person was coming, Shen Wu and his wife Yan came to the main hall and sat in the upper hall.

After serving tea, they exchanged pleasantries, Shen Wu has always looked down on the people in Pei's Mansion, and of course he didn't give Pei Qixuan much of a good look.

"Ming people don't say dark words, you say, what is the purpose of coming to me?" Shen Wu took a sip of tea and asked directly.

"The little nephew came today, but there is one thing, and I hope my uncle can nod." Pei Qixuan said unhurriedly, he was mentally prepared.

This is the tone of their Pei Mansion people's speech, Shen Wu didn't like it very much, he frowned, continued to take a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "You talk about it first." ”

"I want to marry my noble daughter Shen Xitong as my wife, and this time I came here to give my uncle a mouth." Pei Qixuan suddenly saluted with both hands.

When Shen Wu heard this, he was very angry, and he reprimanded, "What? Your Pei family saw that something happened to Xitong and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob it? Tell you, Xitong is my daughter, I won't let her suffer any grievances, you Pei Fu, I will never let her marry. ”

"Uncle, you misunderstood me." Pei Qixuan has the demeanor of a son, he said, "I really want to marry Xitong, not to rob while the fire is burning, this time I came back from Suzhou, I just planned to propose to my uncle." ”

Seeing that Shen Wu still didn't have a good face, Pei Qixuan said: "There are three reasons why I dare to ask for a kiss, first, I am a good person with Xitongmen, not to mention that I am a new science and technology scholar in the last session, and the lintel of Pei's mansion should also be worthy of Miss Shen, second, the Shen family and my family have always been at odds in the court, and there are constant arguments. Third, the younger generation has admired Xitong for a long time, and hopes that the two can give the next opportunity to prove themselves. ”

Yan Shi listened, and she had already guessed the small abacus of Pei Mansion in her heart, and her expression was a little heavy.

Shen Wu's reaction was different, when he heard it, he was very angry, and even slapped the table fiercely, and said loudly: "Wishful thinking, if you want our Shen Mansion's daughter to marry your Pei Mansion, is it to be bullied by you?" You can rest assured, as long as I Shen Wu is alive, I will never agree to this marriage, what is right, bullshit, I Shen Wu has been inseparable from Pei Lao thief in my life. ”

Seeing Shen Wu humiliating his father in front of him, Pei Qixuan only lowered his head slightly, and didn't say anything, he understood that Shen Wu's attitude was resolute, and it was impossible for him to easily agree to this marriage, so he had to wave his hand and retreat, thinking to himself, if you don't agree, I have a way.

Shen Xitong, Jiang Liluo and Qin Shiyu were staying in Shen Xitong's room, nervously waiting for news from the maid Azi, who had been guarding outside the main hall, and could know any news immediately.

Shen Xitong walked back and forth non-stop, drank several cups of tea halfway, and when she heard the wind in the morning, she hurriedly sent someone to find Liluo and Shiyu.

The news of Ah Zi finally came, saying that Pei Gongzi had gone back, and Lord Shen completely disagreed with this marriage, and taught Pei Gongzi a lesson.

When Xi Tong heard this, he was overjoyed, and several girls showed a knowing smile on their faces.

Qin Shiyu asked curiously, "Why is it that the person who comes to ask for relatives will be Pei Qixuan?" The Pei family is not your Shen family's rival. ”

Liluo said: "The rumors about Xitong just came out from Jingshi, and their Pei family came up to propose marriage, which is obviously decided, thinking that Xitong must be their Pei family." She thought to herself, the key to the problem now is to understand their Pei family, why they want to marry Xitong, is there any ulterior secret behind this?

"What did you experience yesterday at Graceland? Could it be that Pei Qixuan really fell in love with Xitong? Qin Shiyu asked.

Liluo carefully recalled the situation in Graceland yesterday, Pei Qixuan did have a special concern for Shen Xitong, and when he invited the three of them to the pavilion, Pei Qixuan's eyes stayed on Xitong.

When Shen Xitong heard this, she slammed the table with her hand, she stood up and said: "All in all, I won't get married, there is a miasma in the backyard of the Pei family, if I marry in, I won't be killed by them, you two help me figure out a way." ”

Qin Shiyu nodded in agreement, and she said worriedly: "Although Uncle Shen rejected Pei Qixuan, what if he stalks Xitong after that?" ”

"Pei Qixuan is also the son of a family, he shouldn't do such an unqualified thing, I'm worried that he may play some tricks." Riro shook her head and said.

"What then?" Shen Xitong's eyes glared at the avenue.

"This matter is treated normally, if Pei Qixuan wants to use means to win, we can also pay back." Riluo blinked and continued, "Didn't we find something interesting yesterday in Graceland? ”

"What's interesting, how did I not know?" Shen Xitong suddenly became interested.

Liluo smiled mysteriously and reminded Shen Xitong: "Do you remember that Sister Ning took us to the back of the rockery and found Pei Qixuan and Jiang Er's chat. ”

As if smelling some gossip, Shen Xitong and Qin Shiyu's little heads unconsciously came over.

"As far as I can see, this Jiang Er may not want to find Pei Qixuan because of the death of the Li family's father and son, I went to check, Jiang Er was not treated well in the Li family, her mother was just a favorite concubine of Li Min, and the favorite concubine died soon after giving birth to Jiang Er, Li Min has always blamed her for this, most of her days in the Li Mansion are not as good as the big maid." Liluo said unhurriedly.

When Shen Xitong and Qin Shiyu heard this, they hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"This Jiang Er, I guess, she may like Pei Qixuan very much, and asking Pei Qixuan for help is just a pretense, her real purpose may be that she wants to marry into Pei's mansion."

"But how could Pei Mansion accept a concubine as the eldest son's wife?" Qin Shiyu asked.

Liluo replied, "Logically speaking, it is indeed impossible, but what if this Jiang Er is not an ordinary person? Pei Fu has done so many things, and she has had a close relationship with Li Fu before, it is difficult to say that she will have some handle of Pei Fu in her hand, and this handle may also kill people. ”

"That's why Jiang Er smiled so weirdly that day?" Shen Xitong exclaimed.

Riraku nodded.

A few girls began to chat all morning again, and several of them kept offering advice and suggestions, thinking about how to grasp the handle in Jiang Er's hands.

It's just that everything is not so easy.

Li Fu, Jiang Er.

"Jiang Er is going out again", Wu Shu's wife Liu walked over with a big belly.

Before Jiang Er came, Liu's face was always full of a little pride, she was a widow who opened a small inn in the market, because she took in Wu Shu, a scholar at that time, and the two of them moved their minds, according to the time, Liu was married to a tattered scholar, who knew that in a blink of an eye, Wu Shu won the fame, and became a member of the household department, and he also became an official wife.

After selling the inn, the Liu family still had a little money in his hand, and he happily went to the parties of some official wives every day, and those official wives also liked Liu's interesting stories in the market.

Just as Liu's spring breeze was proud, and she got the good news of being pregnant, a woman who claimed to be Wu Shu's niece came to Wu's mansion with a maid, saying that Shangshu's right servant shot Li Min's daughter, and suddenly encountered a family change and came to defect.

Since then, Liu's head has been like a mountain.

Wu Shu's official fortune is prosperous, and naturally many women around him have moved their minds, but all of them have been put out of the door by the Liu family over the years, and her husband gets up early all day and feels dark, and his mind doesn't seem to be on this.

It's just that this Jiang Er is frail and sickly, Jiang Er's mother also funded Wu Shu when she was alive, and Wu Shu paid more attention to this niece, according to Liu's words, it was simply a matter of being the eldest lady.

This is nothing, she has never given birth to a son and a half daughter to Wu Fu, and this Jiang Er is a daughter, and she is not surnamed Wu, and her health is not very good, she is over when she gets married, what she is worried about is that the maid Ah Tao who followed Jiang Er is a fox at first glance.

Jiang Er saluted and said, "Meet my aunt!" Her cheeks were a little pale, and she seemed to be quite jealous of this Liu, "Jiang Er went to the temple to give her parents a few sticks of incense. After saying that, there seemed to be tears in his eyes again.

Liu hurriedly pretended to be kind and said, "As a son and daughter, this is the way it should be, go ahead." ”

After Jiang Er heard Liu say this, she hurriedly walked forward, but she didn't expect Liu to say behind her: "Wait a minute." This sentence made Jiang Er's back stiffen immediately.

"Where is that little maid of your family, why didn't she go with you?" Liu asked, stroking his stomach.

"Ah Tao, she's sick, I'll let her rest in the room." Jiang Er hurriedly replied.

Sick? Liu's eyes began to roll wildly, and his heart was rapidly discounting the turntable, Jiang Er was a little impatient, saluted and said goodbye to Liu, walked towards the door, and before going out, he turned around and secretly glanced at Liu.

"Let's go, let's go see this Tao." Liu said with some excitement that she was still the mother of a family, and sending some medicine to her subordinates showed her "benevolence".

"Madame, but you want to give medicine to Tao?" Chaolu, the big girl standing behind Liu, suddenly asked.

Chaolu is Liu's personal maid, and she used to be an official lady, but her father was executed for corruption and bribery, and she lived on the streets, and she was kindly taken in by Liu.

"This little fox is uneasy and kind, I will teach her a long lesson." Liu said angrily, when she watched Wu Shu go to see Jiang Er several times, Ah Tao peeked at him on the side, and deliberately pretended to be weak, which made people pity.

"Madam, I heard the ancients say, everything must be grasped to the point, Madame is now pregnant, the most important thing is to give birth to this child safely, don't be stumped by villains." Chaolu has a calm personality and said calmly on the side.

"How dare she?" Liu was a little angry, "This little vixen, dare to pee on my head?"

Chao Lu replied: "Madam, a small profit for a while is nothing, Madame gives birth to a child, no one can shake Madame's position, as for that A Tao, I think, it's just some cleverness, looking at her appearance, she should have been broken, even if she wants to climb, she can't climb on Madame's head." ”

Although Liu's personality is impulsive, she can still listen to Chaolu's words, she touched her stomach, it is true, looking at Chaolu's appearance with her head down, Liu touched her hand with some distress and said: "If it weren't for you in the past two years, I would have become a joke in everyone's mouth, what an official wife, but a stinky widow who has a scholar, and thinks that she has become a phoenix." ”

"Madame, don't say that, Madame not only took me in, but also loved me like her own daughter, this kindness is unforgettable." Chaolu suddenly fell to her knees.

Liu Shi hurriedly helped her up, she thought in her heart, if Chaolu was still the official lady, she must have a good home now, she touched her hand distressedly, and said to her: "I must find you a good family." ”

After hearing this, Chao Lu smiled at Liu, and the two walked towards the courtyard. In fact, in Chaolu's heart, compared to this Ah Tao, she is more worried about Li Jiang'er who goes out from time to time.

This Jiang Er is so suspicious that he dragged a sick body, not only went to attend the Graceland party, but also often went to temples, nunnery and other places, saying that he was praying for his relatives.

is also in the middle of the family, Chaolu faintly felt that Jiang Er's eyes did not feel much sadness in the depths of her eyes.

Outside the city, Xianyun Temple.

"Why are you here now?" The woman dressed in a nun's outfit said that she looked like she was practicing with her hair, and although she was wearing a gray cloth dress, it was still difficult to hide her stunning beauty.

"When I was out of the house, I ran into the Liu family and stopped me from talking for a while." The person who said this was none other than Jiang Er.

"What did I ask you to bring?" The woman dressed as a nun asked.

"The two people you want to deal with are so difficult that I can't get any useful information for a while." Jiang Er replied.

"Rubbish!" The woman looked very unkind, "Didn't you have a crush on the two of them?" ”

"Jiang Er only has Brother Pei in his heart in this life, and he will not change in this life!" Jiang Er lowered her head and said fiercely, since she saw Pei Qixuan when she was nine years old, this matter has become her belief in this life.

"If you want to marry Pei Qixuan, then have more snacks and give me the information of Jing Yu and Ning Yi at any time." The nun said.

Jiang Er turned her face, she tried to know something from this person's face: "You really want to take revenge because the two of them lost you?" ”

"Or else?" The nun smiled contemptuously.
