Chapter 47: Confession
Within half an hour of waking up, Pei Bao'er got what she wanted to know from the mouth of the round-faced, amiable middle-aged servant woman.
It turned out that the San Lang in the servant's mouth was not surnamed Qi, but he coincidentally had the same surname as her. She pressed her throbbing temples, if she remembered correctly, the young man did shout Pei Fuyin a few days ago, and combined with what the servant said, "Go to the mansion to work", it seems very likely that it is the adult of the boy and the girl.
"Well, I don't know why your family wants to bring my mother and son back, but I still have urgent ......."
Pei Baoer tried hard to explain to Aunt Qiu that if she wanted to leave with her cheap son, she had to at least go home first. Liu Yun still doesn't know what her whereabouts are, her mother and son have been lost for two or three days, if Dani is at home alone, she must be worried. As for thanking Lord Fu Yin, let's make up for it in two days.
Unexpectedly, this Aunt Qiu seemed to be kind, but she did not give in at all on key issues, and refused to let her go.
"The lady is just recovering from a serious illness, she shouldn't move around, if there is anything, just tell others to do it." After that, Aunt Qiu also ordered a clever young man from outside the house to come over, with a humble gesture of "you can send him as much as you want".
Pei Baoer was used to being a poor little common man, and for a while she enjoyed the treatment of the ruling class, and she was very unaccustomed to it.
While the two were in the midst of friendly consultations, someone broke the deadlock came.
"Sister-in-law Qiu, the adults are back." A little girl about ten years old ran over to report, and then staggered to the kitchen.
Aunt Qiu also went in the same direction with a happy face, probably to work in the kitchen, but she cast a meaningful look on Pei Bao'er's face before she stepped back. Well, it's more accurate than her face, but her left cheek.
Pei Bao'er was a little nervous, holding her innocent and unfamiliar cheap son and waiting for the Lord Yin to come. It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he came in and saw him, he grabbed his hand and shouted "Sister" with tears in his eyes.
This sincere appearance is more emotional and less cynical than the "little uncle" a few days ago, and when it comes to emotion, he actually burst into tears, and even the front of the official robe is stained with a little wet marks. She didn't know how to respond, but listened in horror as he cried out about how much she missed her.
“…… I knew they lied to me, it must have been the hands and feet of the poisonous woman of the Lin family...... That bastard must also know, if it weren't for the military power of the Marquis of Zhongwu, where would he be able to ......"
Pei Bao'er felt at first that maybe this Lord Fu Yin had recognized the wrong person. But the more she listened to it, the more wrong it became, and the few terms such as the Lin family and Zhongwuhou that appeared in his mouth were still strangely familiar, where had he heard it?
Seeing that the other party gritted her teeth, she finally put away her tears, and said boldly: "That, Pei Fuyin, right, I think you may have recognized the wrong person, I ......"
However, her defense was only in vain, and Pei Zimeng's eyes turned even redder when she heard this.
"Don't you remember anything?"
Pei Bao'er shook her head.
Pei Zimeng looked at her in a daze, and suddenly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the red mark on her left cheek, but Pei Baoer dodged away. He choked up again and said, "Sister, your face ......"
Pei Baoer was a little dazed, shouldn't this be the birthmark of the original owner or something?
Seeing his conclusive appearance, she was a little suspicious, could it be that the other party really didn't recognize the wrong person? Could it be that she is the sister of Lord Fu Yin, who only lost her trace because of an accident, may have been disfigured, and had amnesia, and finally died in childbirth with a big belly......
Pei Zimeng hated and said: "It must be the sequelae of falling off the cliff at that time, I only hate that I couldn't insist on my father at that time, and I couldn't find you in time...... Sister, don't worry, I will find the best doctor for you......"
Pei Baoer still wanted to die and struggle, she thought about it, and cautiously asked about the other party's family background, place of origin or something, to see if she could get it right. If the other party was originally a southerner, no matter how he disappeared, he would not be able to run to the vicinity of Taixing County, north of Taihang Mountain, right?
As a result, Pei Zimeng dispelled her last hope.
"The Pei family's ancestral home is Huaiyang, and they have settled in the capital since their grandfather's generation...... You and I are twin sons of the same mother, my biological mother died young, my father remarried a Yang, and we have two younger sisters and a younger brother...... At that time, I was still studying in the south, and I didn't know much about things in Beijing, but I only knew that Sister You had a miscarriage and had been very sick, and the person sent you to the women's temple in Zhushan to recuperate, but he didn't take you back for a long time...... I should have thought of it a long time ago, and sure enough, something happened half a year later......"
"Zhushan, where is it?"
Pei Zimeng saw her look stunned, thinking that what she said evoked her memory, and couldn't help but turn sadness into joy, explaining: "Zhushan is in the suburbs of the capital, next to the palace. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, so it's the perfect place to recuperate. Hmm, you always remember to accompany you, right? It's only two days away from the capital......"
Pei Bao'er's heart sank, although she had no memory in her memory, and she had never been to the so-called accompanying capital, she also knew that the accompanying capital was about three days away north of Taixing County, not very far.
She sat silently on the side, listening to Pei Zimeng talk about the so-called "past" that was extremely unfamiliar.
Xiao Yan'er didn't understand what was going on at all, and when he saw that the two adults were talking energetically, he had already run to the side to play with the ball. And Pei Zimeng didn't give Pei Bao'er a chance to interject at all, and after talking to himself, he went out with red eyes again, as if he had asked the two people to tell something, and the two left with solemn faces.
"Sister, let's have lunch first, and I'll talk about it later. All right? ”
Facing this face that is very similar to her, Pei Baoer really can't say anything to refuse. But as soon as she took two bites, Pei Zimeng suddenly slapped the table, glared at her eyes and asked, "That's not right!" ”
He pointed to the little inkstone who was holding a big steamed bun and gnawing happily, and asked in hindsight: "Sister, is this little cub your own?" How old are you? ”
Pei Baoer honestly reported the birth date of the little cub, which she remembered clearly, after all, it was the same day as her parachuting.
Pei Zimeng was stunned for a while after hearing this, and only continued to move her chopsticks after a while, muttering something in her mouth that she didn't hear clearly, but she could detect that Lord Yin, who was suspected of being the brother of the original owner, grinded his teeth heavily, as if he was a little annoyed and a little surprised, which was very strange.
Pei Bao'er glanced at Xiao Yan'er's delicate little face, and she suddenly realized a problem.
"Ahem, by the way, who is your sister's husband? What is his name? She paused, and saw that he looked happy or angry, and asked boldly: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, according to what you said, it's been more than three years, I wonder if your brother-in-law has remarried?" ”
Looking at Pei Bao'er's eyes full of ardent anticipation, Pei Zimeng's anger suddenly went out.
He smiled and picked up a pair of chopsticks to fry the tender chun buds, and said with a pleasant face: "I haven't married in the main room, but the little wife probably hasn't slept less." Sister, it's okay if you don't remember it now, that scum is not worth remembering. I've thought about it, you're ......"
Pei Baoer felt that this brother-in-law had a lot of resentment towards his brother-in-law, and it could be said that he was full of hostility.
Although she didn't want to have entanglements with the relatives and lovers of the original owner, the people who suspected of being her brother came to the door and saved her own life, she couldn't just open her eyes and tell nonsense.
She persistently asked again, "You haven't told me what the man's name is?" ”
With a worried and disappointed look at Shang Pei Zimeng, she hurriedly waved her hand and explained: "Don't worry, whether I remember it or not, I will never get back together with him." Well, I was just thinking, could you tell me more about it that might help me recover my memory? ”
Pei Zimeng reluctantly accepted her statement, pursed his lips and said: "He, surnamed Qi Mingheng, is the third son of the first emperor, and now he is in charge of the government, and even His Majesty has to call him Uncle Wang." However, since His Majesty fell seriously ill last year, there has been a lot of discussion between the DPRK and China, saying that it is ......"
Bang Dong –
Pei Bao'er knocked over the rice bowl, causing Xiao Yan'er, who was eating seriously, to look sideways.
He snickered and said seriously: "Ah Liang is not well-behaved, he can't eat well!" ”
Pei Baoer didn't have the heart to defend herself, so she had to admit it with a wry smile.
The little maid standing next to her quickly brought new dishes and chopsticks, but she had no appetite. She suspected that she might be behind her ear, or she was dreaming. Perhaps, it is not the same name and surname, or it may be the same sound?
"That, is there a royal history surnamed Qi in the court?" Pei Baoer was dying and struggling.
Before she could say the full name of the "Qi Yushi", Pei Zimeng was surprised and flatly denied the possibility of this.
"As far as I know, no." He glanced at her a few times, and said slowly: "Qi Naiguo's surname, but most of those with this surname are related to the royal family." And Yushitai is the most bitter, and because of his outspoken advice, he has always been a thorn in their eyes. These two are incompatible, how can they ......"
The corners of Pei Bao'er's eyes twitched heavily, and she carefully searched the scenes of the few meetings with him in her mind.
It seems that, apart from the fact that the name is true, he really hasn't personally admitted that he is Yushi himself!
"Yes, the position of supervising the imperial history is indeed more difficult, all year round, no more than the Beijing official who has a five-day rest. However, it is better to be able to travel around the country, first, to observe the people's feelings, and secondly, to ......"
Why didn't she notice that when he said these words, his expression was very flat, and his tone was full of objectivity, not like a person introducing his work to others, but more like a popular science answer like a documentary narrator?
Pei Bao'er muttered, "I'm such a fool to believe his nonsense......"
If the original owner was really Pei Zimeng's sister, Qi Heng, who claimed to be his dead wife, would naturally recognize her at a glance, so there would be those inexplicable actions later, visiting the sick late at night, sneaking or giving gifts in the open, and even the bookstore opened at the right time, which is definitely not accidental.
But didn't she tell him very clearly? He didn't look like a fool, how could he be indifferent after she said such a ridiculous thing as "borrowing corpses to return souls"?
Pei Baoer thought in horror: He will never be a strange person who only values the shell and does not pay attention to who the inner soul is, right?
Thinking about his true identity made her even more shocked.
After more than two years, she always thought that she was taking the route of farming and getting rich through the hard work of the small people in the market, but the reality made a big joke on her, in fact, this is the bloody route of the rich family's grievances!
