Pei Yungui was still preparing to enter the Ji Mansion through the hole in the backyard as usual, but unexpectedly, he bumped into Cui Niang head-on.

Cui Niang has already taken her family to guard the only way for Pei Yun to return home.

The family members are all fierce and evil, and I am afraid that it will not be good.

Pei Yungui took half a step back and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Cui Niang raised her chin and squeezed out a smile on a face covered with horizontal meat.

"Why didn't the young lady return for a few days and nights, but the old lady was in a hurry and searched for a long time."

Pei Yungui frowned, and a hint of ominous premonition flashed in his heart.

In the past, she would sneak out for several days, and she didn't see Ji Fu come to look for her, why did she move the crowd so much this time?

Could it be ......

Her eyes flashed, and a hint of solemnity crossed her face.

"When will uncle and aunt come to care about Yungui?"

Pei Yungui's face showed a hint of invisible mockery.

The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, and they are either traitors or thieves.

I'm afraid that it was the suspicion of the cause of her parents' death that she revealed last time that made them pay attention to themselves.

I can't wait to take care of her.

However, this point also corrects Ji Yanqian's weakness about his father's death.

The Ji family's fox tail couldn't be hidden.

It seems that her eighteen years of forbearance is really crooked, otherwise she may not even be able to save her life.

Pei Yungui raised his eyes to look at the blue and white high walls of the Ji Mansion, only to feel that for so many years, he had been framed in a sense of nothingness and absurdity.

It's ridiculous.

Cui Niang stepped forward, with a proud face, and her fat body was in stark contrast to Pei Yungui.

"The old lady has never been more negligent than the eldest lady in treating you, what you said really made them feel cold."

Pei Yungui didn't say anything more, just sang with Cui Niang's mouth full of nonsense.

It's just a matter of fooling outsiders, up and down the Ji Mansion, but even a sweeping maid dares to raise eyebrows at her.

Cui Niang thought that Pei Yungui was speechless, and she was even more arrogant and arrogant, so she didn't even say anything humble.

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with Miss here, please follow me to the master's study to ask for punishment."

Pei Yungui crossed Cui Niang, did not squint, and walked in the front.

Without saying anything all the way, Cui Niang took Pei Yungui into Ji Yanqian's study.

Ji Yanqian's study was elegantly furnished, and the picture scrolls of Mei Lan Zhuju were hung one by one, and he couldn't wait to pull the ears of outsiders to instill how noble and bright the owner of the room was.

Pei Yungui felt that everything was even more false.

Ji Yanqian had a solemn face, and when he saw the visitor, his face sank.

"Where have you been these days?"

Pei Yungui noticed a pair of scrutinizing eyes falling on his face, and he couldn't wait to stare himself out of a hole.

Ji Yanqian really sensed that something was wrong.

How can I protect myself?

Pei Yungui clenched his hands.

"Yun'er." Ji Yanqian's cloudy eyes stared at Pei Yungui, and his gaze was compelling: "Answer my uncle's words." ”

"Yun Gui wanted to go out to breathe, but unexpectedly, he was captured by Gu Rin." Pei Yun fell in love with Ji Yanqian, and his eyes were clear.

The aura around Ji Yanqian's body suddenly became solemn, and he looked at Pei Yungui, his cloudy eyes were obscure, like a pool of foggy stagnant water surrounded by him.

Pei Yungui knew that under this water, there must be a hidden crisis.

Ji Yanqian interrogated and asked, "What did he do and what did he say?" ”

Pei Yungui had a scared expression, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

That's the normal reaction.

Ji Yanqian knew that Gu Rin was investigating him, and there must be some ulterior secret behind him, and this secret not only implicated the death of her parents, but also involved something bigger.

The epidemic of eleven years ago.

Pei Yungui thought of this matter almost immediately.

It's obviously an ordinary disaster, so ordinary that no one cares about drowning in the long river of history.

Who would have thought that the implication in it was like a dense net, wisps and entangled.

I don't know what role Ji Yanqian played in this, and what role her father played.

How exactly did my father and mother die?

Who is the murderer, is it Ji Yanqian?

Pei Yungui pursed his lips.

But if Ji Yanqian is the murderer of his father, why would he do this extra thing and spare her life?

There are many contradictions.

Pei Yungui didn't think about it for long, and continued to answer, "He asked me about my background. ”

"How did you answer?"

Ji Yanqian asked.

Pei Yungui smiled, and looked at Ji Yanqian lightly with a pair of eyes, "Whatever Uncle asked me to say, Yungui answered like that." ”

But Gu Rin didn't believe it, he was only afraid of ...... She has buried eyeliner beside Yungui. ”

Ji Yanqian's face suddenly turned ruthless, he has been an official for many years, and he has experienced countless intrigues in the officialdom, how could he not know what Pei Yungui's words implied.

"You're threatening me?"

Pei Yungui lowered his head obediently, revealing only a piece of his beautiful white neck.

With her current situation, if she wants Ji Yanqian to let her go, she can only find a tough person to rely on.

The best person to rely on is only Gu Rin.

She wants Ji Yanqian to understand that her life and death have been tied to Ji Yanqian, and if she moves at this time, she will undoubtedly dig her own grave and confess to Gu Rin.

Everyone knows that Gu Rin's methods are ruthless, and if he falls into his hands, he will die for life.

Ji Yanqian is suspicious by nature, and he will only be more cautious than others.

There was a long silence in the study.

A vicious gaze fell on the top of his head, Pei Yungui's face did not change, but his back was slightly wet.

This may seem sensible, but it is risky and reckless, and it is not a long-term move.

I'm afraid that Ji Yanqian won't say anything and torture her secretly.

Although she can be said to have an immortal body now, she is still afraid of pain and torture.

Gu Rin's poison, she didn't want to suffer a second time.

This move is tantamount to a complete showdown with Ji Yanqian, and it has become a great joy for everyone, and if he loses, I am afraid that he will fall into a life of licking his sword every day.

That gaze stayed on him for a long time, and Jiudao Pei Yungui thought that the plan was about to be revealed, but he suddenly withdrew.

Pei Yungui breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense heart relaxed slightly.

"The old man underestimated you."

Ji Yanqian sneered and said something for no reason.

Pei Yungui saluted slightly, revealing a rather innocent smile.

"Yungui people are small and weak, and they can't become a big climate, so they were adopted by their uncle and gave Yungui a place to live. Yungui will stay in the house safely and steadily, and there will be no trouble. ”

Ji Yan snorted coldly and shouted outward, "Someone! ”

After a while, a rather clever looking maid quietly pushed open the door.

"The young lady has been out for many days, and she was frightened, so she helped the young lady back to her room to rest." Ji Yan said in a deep voice: "Yun'er is weak, I'm afraid I will have to recuperate for a few days, you are waiting for you, don't be negligent." ”

Pei Yungui's face moved, and he hid his expression.

This meant that she was to be grounded in the room.

also sent an eyeliner to stare at her.

The maid nodded, and made a gesture for Pei Yungui to please.

A person who can't speak?

Pei Yungui secretly glanced at the respectful maid, and his heart was clear.

Yes, if you can't speak, you can keep secrets.

Pei Yun returned to the maid, bypassed the nine-song corridor, and walked out of the main courtyard.

The maid couldn't speak, and Pei Yungui wouldn't take the initiative to talk, so he was speechless all the way.

Pei Yungui thought that he would be able to go back to the room to rest smoothly, but unexpectedly met another person halfway.

The person who came was wearing a light pink pleated skirt, and the green silk was delicately pulled into a sideburns, and a carved hairpin was obliquely inserted between the temples, which was not dignified and elegant.

This person is Ji Qianqian's only daughter, Ji Qianxi.

Although Ji Yanqian's official position is low, he has a daughter who is famous in the capital.

Grown up to water hibiscus, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his character is also dignified by a dozen and one.

The only pity is that the lintel of Jifu is not high, if you marry high, you have to be a Pon's family, Ji Yanqian is such a daughter, naturally reluctant to be Ji Qianxi small, and in the end, he only got engaged to the second son of Han Ze, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

A talented woman who is famous in the capital is only married to the son of a seven-rank official, which has attracted many people's embarrassment.

Ji Qianxi has always been kept in the front yard, Pei Yungui has been confined to the backyard, and has never gotten along with her, and the two have met each other, and they are only like strangers.

Pei Yun returned to Li, said hello to her, and was about to continue walking, when Ji Qianxi suddenly stopped her.

"Sister, wait a moment."

Pei Yungui stopped, looking puzzled.

Ji Qianxi hid his face and chuckled, a random movement, which was also full of the tenderness of a little woman, and did not lose everyone's beautiful demeanor.

Just waited for her to take out a carved begonia box from her sleeve and gently put it in Pei Yungui's hand.

"My sister has been in the house for many years, but I, who is my sister, have not given my sister a decent thing." She smiled lightly and said, "There is a pair of plain silver earrings and a jade hairpin here." I saw my sister clean up, these two things just match you. ”

Pei Yungui was secretly surprised.

She didn't expect that Ji Yongqian's daughter had a very different attitude towards herself.

Pei Yungui had never received this kind of treatment, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that her sister was stunned, a touch of distress and self-blame flashed in Ji Qianxi's eyes.

For so many years, she only knew that she had a younger sister who was raised in the backyard, but she had never met her a few times. Her father and mother treated her badly, and she didn't help her sister much.

Ji Qianxi only has two brothers on her head, who are older than her, and they are men, so they can't play together all day long.

When she learned that her father had adopted a girl, she was undoubtedly happy, but she never thought that her parents were so partial that she would not even let herself see her sister.

Whenever she was going to the backyard, her mother would darken her face, and gradually, she didn't dare to mention it.

"I know how your parents treat you...... How harsh, in the past, my sister did not dare to disobey her parents' orders and snub you, but now, I am about to get married, and my father and mother are obedient to me, and I will definitely help you persuade them. ”

Ji Qianxi looked at Pei Yungui with a pair of autumn pupils.

She always wants to make amends for her parents' mistakes.

Pei Yungui's eyes gradually softened, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart.

In addition to the system, Ji Qianxi was the first person to show kindness to himself.

She gently held Ji Qianxi's hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Yungui has never blamed my sister, and now that I know my sister's intentions, Yungui is too late to be happy." ”

Ji Qianxi showed his face, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were soaked in joy.

She muttered, "That's good, that's good." ”

She wanted to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by her mother-in-law behind her.

"Miss, you and your wife have made an appointment to have tea, and time is running out now."

Pei Yungui said: "Sister, go quickly, don't make your aunt angry." ”

Ji Qianxi glanced at Pei Yungui deeply, as if he was reluctant.

"I still have some idle jewelry there, if I have time, I will ask the maid to loosen some for you. My sister was born so beautiful and smart, she had to dress up well. ”

Pei Yungui replied with a smile, watching Ji Qianxi all the way, and only when she disappeared around the corner did she retract her gaze.

The mute maid opened her mouth to "ah" and urged Pei Yungui to return.

Pei Yungui walked to the backyard.
