Chapter 5: Tasks
The corners of Pei Yungui's mouth twitched.
It's a bit of a tough task.
She has been abused and cold-eyed in Ji Mansion for so many years, and Ji Yanqian has not blinked her eyes. If he had a little remorse, Pei Yungui's life would not have been so careful.
Cui Niang was already obviously impatient, so she stepped forward in three or two steps and directly ripped Pei Yungui out of bed.
[Insert a command into the system, let her talk back, or be punished]
"Miss Trouble, hurry up, the old lady has been waiting for a long time."
Pei Yungui slapped Cui Niang's hand away: "Don't bother you to do it, Yungui will come down." β
Tongzi told her that she must not swallow her anger when she is bullied, and once others offend her, she must show her dissatisfaction, so that despicable people will not kick their noses in the face.
The relationship between the peers is still like this, not to mention, the relationship between her and Cui Niang is still a master and servant.
Cui Niang glanced at the hand that was slapped off in shock, and her lips trembled.
"You dare to hit me?"
Pei Yungui didn't get down from the bed, and deliberately looked down and said, "Cui Niang has served her aunt for many years, so she shouldn't even understand what dignity and humility are and what is master and servant, right?" β
Cui Niang crossed her hands on her hips, her face was already full of anger, and her voice unconsciously amplified, "It's just a lowly girl, who kind of master?" Speak more, be careful that I let Madame detain you from eating. β
She knew that this was Pei Yungui's weakness, no matter how stubborn she was in the past, she would always be obedient when she was hungry Pei Yungui for three days.
This is how soft persimmons are starved.
"Since I call Ji Yanqian, my uncle, I am the lord of Ji Mansion. If according to Cui Niang's meaning, Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji have not become lowly people? Do you have to kowtow to Cui Niang every day? β
"You!" Cui Niang had nothing to say, and her face turned red, "How did you become so sharp-tongued!" β
Pei Yungui laughed lightly.
When she is bullied, she will make up in her heart how to be bad here and how to be fierce there, so as to balance the humiliation given to her by the outside world.
It's just that in order to fill her stomach, these counterattacks of hers have never been carried out.
γDing! The coolness value has been increased, congratulations to the tasker for obtaining five heroine aura points! γ
"Cui Niang, if you don't invite Miss Pei out, you won't be able to catch up."
A maid stepped forward behind her and reminded Cui Niang in her ear.
Cui Niang snorted coldly.
is so stubborn, there is an old lady to clean her up.
"Wait a minute." Pei Yungui held on to the bed, slowly walked to the mahogany table at the end of the bed, opened the top drawer, and placed a sandalwood box in the drawer, which was very exquisite in workmanship and incompatible with the entire boudoir.
Pei Yungui took out a jump of auspicious clouds from it and put it on his neck.
"You can go." Pei Yun returned.
Cui Niang took a cursory look at the Yingluo, the workmanship was very exquisite, but the style was old, I don't know what tricks Pei Yungui is playing.
However, time was in a hurry, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly carried Pei Yun back to the front yard.
-------------------------------------
Ji Yanqian and Mrs. Ji had been waiting for a long time, Pei Yungui's legs and feet were inconvenient, and when they arrived, their faces were ugly.
Cui Niang sent her to, saluted, and silently withdrew.
"Get on your knees!" Ji Yan said coldly.
Pei Yun is as good as a stream.
"Brute, let me ask you, why did you have a conflict with Miss Song for no reason?"
Pei Yungui said lightly: "I have never had a conflict with Miss Song, why does my uncle listen to the wind and rain?" β
Mrs. Ji pointed at Pei Yungui, her handkerchief trembling: "Who gave you the courage to contradict your uncle like this?" Do you still have the Dharma in your eyes? β
"Whether I respect the Fa in my eyes, and whether I contradict my uncle, if my aunt does not suffer from eye disease, she should be able to see it clearly." Pei Yungui raised his head, and his apricot eyes looked straight at the main seat: "Yesterday, Song Qiluo humiliated Yungui first, and Yungui has endured it, this matter is nothing to discuss." β
"You ......" Mrs. Ji's old mouth opened and closed, and she couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally she could only say indignantly: "If you commit the following crimes, you will ignore your upbringing!" β
Putting the facts and talking about the reasons, is it reckless upbringing?
Pei Yungui lowered his eyes and suppressed the mocking look in his eyes.
No matter what she does, she is the one who is punished, and eleven years of reining in the edge and pleasing life are really not worth it at all.
Ji Yanqian stepped down from the main seat, his face was gloomy: "Where did you get the courage?" β
"Yun'er had a dream yesterday." Pei Yungui raised his head again and smiled lightly, "I dreamed of Auntie and Daddy, and Daddy also asked me how I was doing in Ji Mansion." β
Pei Yungui raised the Yingluo around his neck: "Uncle Ji should remember this Yingluo." β
"Smack!"
Ji Yanqian slapped Pei Yungui in the face.
Pei Yungui felt a hot pain on her face, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, she snorted coldly and wiped the red from the corner of her mouth at will.
"All these years of cowardice, you have always pretended?" Ji Yanqian asked.
Pei Yungui laughed, "Yes, I thought that as long as you follow your wishes, as long as you are a soft persimmon that can't support the wall in the mud, you and your aunt will treat me well, who knows, you have never treated me as your own family." β
This is actually false, Pei Yungui has endured humiliation for so many years, but she is used to it, for Ji Yanqian and Mrs. Ji, she has long had no hope, as long as she can live her life in peace and fill her stomach, Pei Yungui is already satisfied.
However, last night, she tossed and turned, thought for a long time, and looked back at Ji Yanqian's attitude towards her.
Since she was a child, she has ignored her, and even every festival, she is not qualified to participate in the banquet of Jifu. The Ji family didn't teach her poetry and book etiquette, and let her subordinates bully her.
She knew that no one liked her up and down the Ji family, even more so Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji, but why did they keep her living in the mansion?
Pei Yungui lost his father and mother when he was seven years old, and vaguely remembered that his father and Ji Yanqian were brothers. Ji Yanqian was entrusted by her father to take care of herself.
Since his father will entrust himself to Ji Yanqian, it shows that the senior brother has a good relationship, but how will he let himself develop such a cowardly temperament, won't he be ashamed of the senior brother under Jiuquan?
In the past, Pei Yungui would not think about this matter, because she couldn't even fill her stomach, she was hungry every day, and what she thought about the most every day was where to find food for three meals a day.
Many things cannot be dug deeper, and once a hole is poked into the ground, the high-rise buildings that were previously built will collapse one after another.
Pei Yungui suddenly asked a question that he hadn't thought of for more than ten years before.
"My father's death shouldn't be as simple as it seems, right?"
At this moment, even Mrs. Ji got up suddenly, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Ji stepped forward and grabbed Pei Yungui's shoulder, the force was so great that half of her nails sank into Pei Yungui's flesh, "Your father and mother were obviously killed by gangsters." How can you talk nonsense and make it up at will! β
γDing! Congratulations to the tasker for successfully opening up a new dark line: Pei Yungui's father's death
The reward is ten points of heroine's aura value, which has been credited to the account, please pay attention to check. γ
Pei Yungui: !!
What's the situation? She just pinched each other casually, why did she turn on the dark line?
Could it be that the death of my father and mother is really strange?
Pei Yungui pulled out Mrs. Ji's skirt violently.
"How the hell did my father die?"
Ji Yanqian hugged his wife, glanced at Pei Yungui coldly, and after a long time, he said outside: "Come on, send Miss Pei to rest." β
Two maidservants immediately came in outside the door, one left and one right, helped Pei Yungui up and took her out.
Pei Yungui's plain face was finally dyed with anger, she pushed away the subordinate who was supporting, and her dark eyes stared directly at Ji Yanqian.
"How the hell did my mom and dad die? What exactly happened eleven years ago! β
Ji Yanqian finally couldn't maintain his apparent calm, his crutches slammed on the ground, and his voice was also a little manic.
"Come on, return Pei Yun to me and take him out!"
Two family members immediately came in outside the door, and set up Pei Yungui without saying a word.
Pei Yungui suddenly felt a nameless panic in her heart, she wanted to break free of the restraints, and then broke the jar and confronted Ji Yanqian face to face.
However, after a few moments, she suddenly calmed down.
No matter how she splashed and rolled, Ji Yanqian wouldn't say anything.
She is too weak, and before her wings are full, breaking up with Ji Yanqian will only increase the danger to herself, so it is better to study it slowly in the future.
The magnitude of Pei Yungui's struggle gradually changed, and the family also seized the time and hurriedly took her out of the middle hall.
After she left, Mrs. Ji fell heavily to the ground, her eyes gradually became blank, and after a while, she suddenly pulled Ji Yanqian's sleeve and said uneasily: "Master, Pei Yungui doesn't know everything, right?" β
"Impossible!" Ji Yanqian shook his sleeves, and his voice became angry: "When the accident happened back then, she was only a few years old, a child, she didn't understand anything, how could she find out the clues?" She's just talking nonsense! β
"But master, when that person died, Pei Yungui was present, would she ...... Could it be that he knew everything, but deliberately pretended to have amnesia and lurked in our Ji Mansion, just waiting for the opportunity to take revenge? β
Ji Yanqian has gradually calmed down, "There will be no problem with the forget-worry grass, I watched her eat it with my own eyes." β
Mrs. Ji guessed: "Could it be that she is colluding with Gu Rin?" β
Ji Yanqian: "Gu Rin made a surprise visit last night and asked me about collaborating with the enemy in the Northern Regions, and I felt that something was wrong. If someone leaks it, it makes Gu Rin suspicious and suspicious of us, it is indeed possible that it is her. But when did she get in touch with Gu Rin? β
Mrs. Ji was already wiping her tears, "It's all to blame for the old man's kindness, why did you leave this scourge in the first place, how good it was to kill, it's a hundred, why worry about being scared now...... Speaking of this, Mrs. Ji wiped her tears with her hand, "Master, let's just not do it...... "She made a gesture to wipe her neck, and a ruthless color gradually flashed in her eyes.
Ji Yanqian scolded: "Confused! If Pei Yungui and Gu Rin really have a connection, and now they have solved the problem, isn't they throwing themselves into the net! β
Mrs. Ji sobbed in a low voice again, "How is this a good ......?"
-------------------------------------
Pei Yungui returned to the hospital, and after giving himself good medicine, he continued to lie on the bed.
The dark line that opened today, Pei Yungui thought about it and couldn't understand it, so she poked 4322 again.
"Tongzi, what is the dark line?"
[The dark line is a plot that originally existed in this world, but because it has little to do with the main line, it was buried and ignored, and the dark line usually needs to be discovered by the characters themselves, host, you are good! ] γ
Pei Yungui smiled shyly and stopped talking.
She stared at the window lattice in a daze, her eyes gradually reddening.
Is there a problem with my father's death? Who killed them, wasn't Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji?
Pei Yungui blinked his eyes violently and held back the tears that wanted to burst out of his eyes.
In the past ten years, my daughter has not been motivated, she only thinks about eating and drinking all day long, and she has not noticed anything wrong after staying in Ji Mansion for so long.
Since God has given her such a good system and given her the opportunity to become the heroine, she will definitely not be in a corner anymore. In any case, we must find the truth for my father.
The air fluctuated suddenly, and a snow-white biscuit appeared next to Pei Yungui's pillow.
Pei Yungui said happily: "Tongzi, did you give it to me?" β
[Eat something when you're sad.] γ
"Thanks, you're such a good system!"
γDing! Mission 2 has been completed, and two heroine aura values will be rewarded, please pay attention to check. γ
[If the aura value is greater than 10 points, all the space can be unlocked, is the host open?] γ
Pei Yungui looked at the prompt box that appeared in front of him, although he didn't know what it would be useful to turn it on, but it wouldn't be a bad thing after all.
So, she silently recited the word "open" in her heart, the prompt box flashed a few times, the picture turned into a green tick, and the spatial prompt sound came.
[The space is fully open, I wish the host a pleasant experience.] γ
The space seems to have gotten a lot bigger, except for the top few progress bars, and there are a lot of shelf-like things from top to bottom.
On the top of the shelves, there are different large letters, from left to right, which are "books, daily use, food, first aid." β
It should be full of things, but Pei Yungui can't see the whole picture.
[These things can be exchanged for the heroine's aura value. 4322 explained: [However, with your current aura value, you can't view the products in the category yet. γ
Pei Yungui nodded, that is to say, as long as the number of his aura value meets the requirements, he can view specific commodities and even buy them.
As soon as her mind moved, the book category on the far left was gradually expanded, and Pei Yungui saw the small print of the subscript: 1005 points of aura value to obtain the permission to view and purchase this category.
The corners of Pei Yungui's mouth twitched, it seemed that the road was blocked and long......
It's nightfall, and the moonlight is shining.
Pei Yungui finished eating the second Wangwang snow cake that 4322 exchanged for her, drank another glass of Wangzai's milk, and lay back on the bed with satisfaction and gave himself medicine.
Since the first trial in the middle hall yesterday, no one in the Ji family has sent food to Pei Yungui, and on this day, Pei Yungui relied on the snacks he took from the garden party yesterday and the help of 4322 to fill his stomach.
Some wild vegetables grew in the yard, Pei Yungui recognized that the leaf petals were small and edible, and they tasted good, so she picked a little and put them in the house in case of emergency.
I have to say that the medicine sent by Tongzi really worked wonders, and after applying it for a day and a night, Pei Yungui felt that his injuries were healing very well, and he could now do some large-scale exercises.
She lay on the bed, rolled over, and suddenly a familiar electronic sound came to her head.
γDing! A new task is released
Quest content: Go to Changle Street, meet the villain Gu Rin, and arouse the interest of the other party
Mission time: Tomorrow night, there is no limit to the duration. γ
Pei Yungui turned over for a moment, and uneasiness gradually surged in his heart.
Gu Rin, is it the hussar general Gu Rin who terrified everyone in the capital?
