Chapter III: Family Inspection
In the midst of doubt, He Peiying felt that her clothes had been ripped off. Looking at it, the jade pendant hanging around his neck had already reached He Mingfei's hand at this time.
"What is the second uncle doing with my jade pendant?" He Peiying hugged Jiu'er, and it was difficult to hide her surprise in her tone.
"Is it yours?" He Mingfei glanced at him and put the jade pendant on the table beside him.
He Peiying's face was slightly embarrassed.
He Mingfei squeezed out a kind smile at Jiu'er, he looked up at the outside of the house, deliberately made a surprised expression, pointed to the sky and said to Jiu'er: "Jiu'er, look, is there a colorful bird there?" ”
"Colorful birds?" Jiu'er was puzzled, she had never heard of or seen any colorful birds, and she turned back curiously.
The moment Jiu'er turned around, He Mingfei had an extra sharp silver needle in his right hand, and his right hand grabbed one of Jiu'er's hands.
He Peiying didn't expect He Mingfei to suddenly have this action, and when he reacted, Jiu'er's right fingertip had already been broken.
He Peiying didn't know what He Mingfei was doing, and seeing that he was inintuitive with Jiu'er like this, he hugged Jiu'er and stepped back, and at the same time scolded him angrily: "Second uncle, you are too much, how can you attack a child!" ”
Jiu'er turned around in pain, and after seeing the blood beads on her fingertips, she frowned and struggled to retract her hand.
After struggling several times, to no avail, Jiu'er was so anxious that she began to cry.
"It'll be right away." He Mingfei soothed Jiu'er softly, but he didn't let go, and pressed Jiu'er's small fingers with two fingers.
The silver needle was very thin, and the wound was very small, and it took He Mingfei and other Jiu'er fingertips to collect blood beads the size of mung beans for a few breaths.
He Mingfei picked up the jade pendant on the table and dripped blood beads onto the jade pendant, "Okay." ”
He let go of Jiu'er's hand, took out a handkerchief and handed it to He Peiying, and said, "Hold it down." ”
He Peiying held a handkerchief and pressed the wound on Jiu'er's hand.
He Mingfei himself stared straight at the jade pendant without blinking.
Blood beads fell, and the thin moire suddenly came to life. Looking closely, the cloud pattern seemed to have turned into small snakes twisted together, and the blood beads that originally dripped on the surface of the jade pendant disappeared, as if they had been swallowed into the abdomen by the small snake. The little snakes seemed to rush out of the jade pendant at any time due to the nourishment of blood.
Jiu'er was attracted by the change on the jade pendant, and she stopped her tears. She was extremely curious and wanted to take a closer look, but she was worried about being bitten by the little snake, so after thinking about it, she hugged He Peiying's stomach and shrank back.
He Peiying had already opened his mouth wide in shock by this situation, and he asked, "What's going on?" ”
After being silent for a long time, He Mingfei only had a bitter smile on his face, he sighed, and said, "Jiu'er is really your daughter, only the heirs of the He family can make this jade pendant show such a change." ”
"Needless to say." Although He Peiying didn't know why, even if he personally told a lie, he could only continue to admit it now.
For this result, he was more surprised than He Yunfei. Jiu'er is not his daughter, he is very sure of this, but the second uncle actually said this, strange.
He remembered what Jiu'er said before, and asked He Mingfei: "What does the second uncle mean is that whoever can make this Wang pendant show this abnormality is the heir of the He family?" ”
He Mingfei nodded.
He Peiying was dissatisfied with the family affair with Miss Lin Jia, and took advantage of the two days when he was extremely busy to worship his ancestors, and fled to Dingzhou when he was not paying attention.
After he caught He Peiying, he wrote to his eldest brother He Mingchen about He Peiying's claim to have an illegitimate daughter. He Mingchen thought like him that He Peiying was talking nonsense, in order to expose He Peiying's nonsense and make him die, He Mingchen taught such a method of identifying his heirs.
The result was not what they had imagined, and they had to reconsider a series of issues. is more than how Peiying's family affairs, such as how to place Jiu'er. He Mingfei thought about it, the stakes were very high, and he had to rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible.
He Mingfei's intestines were blue at this time, and he didn't bother to look at He Peiying any more, he left in a hurry.
There must be regret medicine in this world, and he must not have taken He Peiying to Dingzhou six years ago.
Now that this kind of thing has happened, he will definitely be condemned when he returns to Beijing.
After He Ming flew away, He Jin went outside to guard as usual. He Peiying put Jiu'er on the stool, he took out an orange and handed it to Jiu'er, and said, "Jiu'er, uncle asked you something, can you tell uncle truthfully?" ”
As soon as Jiu'er saw the orange, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said cheerfully, "Uncle has questions, just ask." ”
She didn't take the oranges, and urged He Peiying to say, "Uncle helped Jiu'er peel the oranges first." ”
While peeling oranges, He Peiying asked Jiu'er, "You said before, have you ever seen a jade pendant with this pattern from your uncle?" ”
Jiu'er nodded without hesitation, "That's right! At my mother's place. ”
He Peiying was surprised in his heart, but he believed that Jiu'er would not lie to him.
Although he didn't know that this jade pendant also had the role of identifying heirs, he was clear about the significance of this jade pendant to the family. In the entire He family, there are only two pieces of this jade pendant.
His father, He Mingchen, is the head of the He family, and he has a piece there. His eldest brother He Peiyu, as the next generation of heirs, also has a piece in his hand.
Although he and his eldest brother are twins, he is not an heir, so he is not eligible to have them. The piece in his hand was also stolen from his eldest brother for convenience.
That Jiu'er said that she had seen it, and now she is related to herself again, Jiu'er is obviously from Jinguo, what kind of connection does there have between them?
Thinking of this, He Peiying felt that he had to go back to Dingzhou again.
He Peiying called He Jin into the house.
"Young Master, what should I do now?" He Jin has always known how He Peiying and Jiu'er discussed pretending to be father and daughter to deceive people, but he didn't expect Jiu'er to squeeze a drop of blood, and the fake became true.
"We still have to find a way to find Jiu'er's family, or return Jiu'er to her family first, in case the second uncle has a whim, go back to Kyoto now, Jiu'er's family is estimated to die in a hurry." He Peiying said with a worried face.
"What the young master said is, but the little one just glanced at it, and there was no shortage of guards outside the courtyard, if he wanted to go out, I was afraid that he would ......."
He Peiying has two big heads, and she is so irritable that she doesn't know what to do.
He saw that Jiu'er was eating oranges calmly, and he was very envious of her, it would be good if she didn't grow up like a child all the time, and she didn't have to worry so much.
He Peiying held his head and thought for a long time, since he was arrested, the second uncle guarded him strictly, for fear that he would slip away, so that he could take him back to Kyoto after dealing with the matter here.
What if he offered to go back to Kyoto?
Thinking of this, He Peiying came to the gate of the hospital. He was about to go out, but as expected, two guards came to block his way.
There is no hope of breaking through, and He Peiying does not plan to spend that effort. He stood still and said to the guard, "I want to see the second uncle." ”
The two guards glanced at each other, and one of them said to He Peiying: "Second young master, wait a while, the little one will go to the second master." ”
After speaking, He Peiying didn't wait for the guards to urge, turned around and entered the house.
