Chapter 82: Reconciled
Pei Yungui told Gu Rin everything about Mrs. Xie's letter to her last night and handed the letter out.
After saying that, she lowered her eyes, worried in her heart, and didn't dare to look at Gu Rin's face anymore.
She should have brought the news to Gu Rin as soon as she got the letter last night, but because of those inexplicable suspicions in her heart, she should have been able to detect it with Gu Rin's keen insight.
What would Gu Rin do if he knew that he had always suspected him and blamed him.
If you are angry, you will be angry, and maybe you will lock her up and interrogate her severely.
I just don't know if he will be sad.
I am running around in front to deal with ***, but someone is in the back speculating about himself with the worst thoughts, and my heart will be more or less uncomfortable.
Thinking like this, Pei Yungui felt a little embarrassed, buried his head lower, and the hand in his sleeve suddenly touched the ointment that Gu Rin gave her not long ago, and his palm was hot, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.
Gu Rin's mouth pursed even tighter, his gaze quickly swept over the letter, and he asked, "Xie Min is in the neighboring county now?"
Suddenly hearing Gu Rin's inquiry, Pei Yungui was slightly stunned for a moment.
She thought that he would question herself with an angry face, but she didn't expect Gu Rin to open his mouth to be official.
"Yes, the Xie family's rice warehouse is nearby, Xie Min should have loaded the grain, just waiting to go."
"I see." Gu Rin said lightly, "If it's okay, Miss Pei will go back and rest first."
The cold tone was like a thin needle, piercing Pei Yungui's heart, making her heart tremble.
It's over, it's over.
Pei Yungui peeked at Gu Rin uneasily, helpless, like a guy who had provoked his daughter-in-law.
Gu Rin was definitely angry.
He didn't even want to be cynical, he must have been very disappointed and powerless in himself, and he was extremely frustrated.
Hearing that a person is calmer when he should be angry proves that the person's mood is at rock bottom.
Pei Yungui had never been so flustered, even when he first met Gu Rin and confronted him in the firewood room, he was not as flustered as he is now.
She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when she thought of what she was going to do next, she swallowed the words that came to her lips and teeth.
Because there's something more important right now.
Even if he has no place to be ashamed, Pei Yun can't leave.
Before Hu Ren's letter was handed over to Gu Rin, she couldn't leave.
Although he can wait until the prince enters the town and then hand over the things for asylum.
But she can wait, but the people in the town don't.
Gu Rin's strict defense of Yao meant that You County's initiative was still firmly in the hands of the Hu people.
That letter was critical.
Pei Yungui exhaled a breath of turbidity, regarded death as if he was home, and took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Rin.
Anyway, Gu Rin was already angry.
Then let the storm come harder!
Gu Rin took it with a faint expression.
He opened the envelope, and the dense nonsense in his eyes surprised him slightly, but what he read made his face darken.
Gu Rin didn't say anything.
But Pei Yungui knew that at this moment, he should have set off a monstrous wave in his heart, and he couldn't wait to strangle himself to death on the spot.
She stooped down sharply, her head so low as if it were about to be tied to her waist.
"General Gu, I'm really sorry."
Pei Yungui felt that he was a gangster who had committed a heinous crime, and he was telling the court judge about his sins with remorse on his face in order to ask for forgiveness.
Gu Rin put the letter in his sleeve without moving, and laughed softly, but his eyes were extremely cold.
"What do you apologize to me for no reason?"
He descended the steps, approached Pei Yungui, and stopped a step away from her.
The tall body enveloped Pei Yungui, and Gu Rin said in a cold voice, "Ben will not blame you, on the contrary, Ben will reward you heavily, Pei."
The girl has made a great contribution, and she has provided Ben Jiang with such an interesting clue, how can Ben Jiang blame? It's just that Ben will be very curious, and I wonder where your letter came from. Let me guess if I picked it up on a walk last night."
Pei Yungui noticed a shadow suddenly appearing in front of him, and then he heard Gu Rin's question in his ear.
After listening to the last sentence, her heart tightened.
It seems that Gu Rin has already guessed that her wording in the morning is a lie, she should have thought of it a long time ago, with Gu Rin's acuity, how could she not guess her statement that seemed to be full of loopholes?
In this matter, she has already confessed to Gu Rin, and the remaining seven layers of truth, Gu Rin traces back to the source, and if she wants to investigate, sooner or later it will come out.
It is only futile to hide it any longer, but it is also a gift of suspicion.
Pei Yungui 1510 said: "Last night, the little girl went out for a walk, and on the way, she met a person riding a horse galloping, and the description was different, so she secretly followed, and then witnessed him trading with a small servant in Yao Chen's mansion, and the two were sneaky, so I guessed that it was boring."
Gu Rin clasped his hands to his chest and sneered, "That person is riding a horse, and Miss Pei can even keep up with her legs, she really has a stunt. Also, I remember that you have never entered the Yao Mansion, so how can you recognize the appearance of the little maid in the mansion?"
That letter was indeed from Hu Ren's hand, but it couldn't help but make him suspicious, how powerful Pei Yungui was, a weak woman, snatched the letter from two big men.
And why did she happen to know that the letter was related to Yao Chen's rebellion?
Gu Rin thought so, and looked at Pei Yungui's eyes with some inquiry.
All kinds of speculations reminded him of his doubts about Pei Yungui's identity in the past.
The sense of alienation from the world and the sense of detachment in her body seemed to have reappeared.
Pei Yungui is like a spectator, occasionally staying out of the matter, and occasionally intervening.
Pei Yungui looked at Gu Rin's slightly oppressive gaze, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart about being peeped at.
She immediately raised her eyes and explained, "Naturally, the little girl couldn't keep up with the man's horse, but after the man passed by me, he stopped not far away, and the little girl followed in the direction and witnessed the transaction."
"As for why we can distinguish why this person is a small servant in the county government, it is because in You County now, in addition to refugees, there are people in the merchant gang, and the only people who are well-dressed and can walk freely in the town should be the people from the county government."
Pei Yungui looked at Gu Rin with a clear gaze.
Unable to reveal the truth about the system, she had to make up a lie again.
This time, the causes and consequences are detailed, although there are loopholes, but they can also be rounded.
Gu Rin avoided Pei Yungui's gaze, lowered his eyes, covered the look under his eyes, and kept a smile on the corner of his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.
Pei Yungui saw that Gu Rin didn't speak, so he looked down and said, "As for how I am sure that he is the little servant of the county government, I will explain it in detail later."
"When I sensed something was wrong, I kept an eye on it. The man in black on horseback told the servant to destroy the evidence immediately, and he turned around to find an object that could destroy the letter."
"He chose the crematorium, and the little girl followed all the way, only to find an opportunity to knock the person down and snatch the letter, and it was at this time that he clashed with the little guy."
"When the little girl was arguing with him, she touched his palm and touched a very thick cocoon, which only people who work all year round will stay, and only dare to guess that he is the little maid next to Yao Chen."
Gu Rin finally spoke, and he asked, "Then let me ask you, how did that little guy die?" He is tall, you are a circle younger than him, you will not be the one who kills him, right?"
Pei Yungui sighed, he was tired of standing, so he found a random step to sit down.
"I snatched the letter, but the mask on my face also fell off, and when he saw my true appearance, he became ill-intentioned and tried to humiliate, but the little girl was lucky and was saved by her benefactor, and that little girl was killed for him."
Recalling all the events of last night, Pei Yungui still had some palpitations, but she said it very plainly, as if she was telling an inconsequential story.
Gu Rin Shen
Silent, silent for a long time.
Pei Yungui thought that he was angry again, and hurriedly looked up to look at him, only to see that Gu Rin was also looking at him.
Gu Rin immediately turned his head away and subconsciously avoided Pei Yungui's gaze.
When he heard Pei Yungui say that he was humiliated by the gangsters, Gu Rin suddenly felt a surge of anger rise in his heart.
This anger was different from the rage that manipulated his mind in the past, it was sour, on the one hand, it wanted to kill, and on the other hand, it had the urge to encircle Pei Yun and protect him.
When I saw her calmly recount the dangers of last night, that anger turned into a dense pain.
In the morning, I felt like a torrential rain.
It's obviously a cliché, and it's clear that you should be angry.
But he couldn't get angry, but hated himself last night.
Why waste time staying in the prefectural mansion, why don't you go back to the inn early.
If he had gone back earlier, Pei Yungui wouldn't have been dainted by that damn little guy!
Thinking of this, Gu Rin suddenly became a little tyrannical, and the urge to kill rose from his bones again.
"I'm sorry."
Gu Rin clenched his hands, and his eyes were a little red.
"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Pei Yungui smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for my unauthorized suspicion and suspicion of the general, I wouldn't have delayed until now to give you something. After all, Yungui is too self-righteous."
"It's fine." Gu Rin lowered his eyes in panic and said, "Now that the things have been delivered, you can go back and rest."
Pei Yungui thought that Gu Rin was still sulking, so he stood up alone and chuckled, "Then the general take care, Yungui will leave first." With that, he turned and left.
"Wait." Gu Rin suddenly stopped her.
Pei Yungui's back paused slightly, and he turned around.
"I'm not angry." Gu Rin said in a low voice, "You don't have to think too much...... Remember to rub that medicine."
