Pei Xiuci listened to it with half understanding.

Over the years, their big house has been unfavored in the mansion, and even the place where they live is the most remote North Garden in the entire General's Mansion, from there to Wanlan Xuan, they have to walk on a pillar of incense.

Especially after her father died in battle and her mother moved to Qingxin'an, she and her younger brother became even more unnoticed in the house.

In order to avoid incidents, she took her younger brother to live in Beiyuan and rarely went out, and she heard most of what happened in the house from her subordinates.

Before, she only knew that the second aunt had lost her body, although she felt that the second aunt was by no means voluntary, but there was a lot of uproar in the house, and she didn't have much to say.

Now she learned from the second aunt that it was related to the third aunt, which really surprised her.

"Second aunt, is there any misunderstanding in this matter, the third aunt is also from the General's Mansion, how can it harm you?"

Ye Wanran said in a deep voice: "The reason, I can't talk to you in detail now, you will understand in the future, but the most important person now is you!" ”

"Me? I have no grievances with my third aunt, why did she harm me? Pei Xiuci didn't know why.

Ye Wanran held her hand and sighed.

"My stupid niece, think about it, who in this mansion doesn't know that you and I are the closest, if you marry into a high family in the future, Shen Lingyu will definitely worry about whether you will retaliate against her for me.

Even if you've never thought like this in your heart, there's no guarantee that she won't, so in order to beware of you, do you think she will really help you choose a husband? ”

Naturally, no.

Pei Xiuci already had the answer in her heart.

Ye Wanran said bitterly: "So, in case she plays any tricks at that time, it's better for us to strike first." ”

Pei Xiuci listened intently, raised her eyes and asked her, "Second aunt, what do you want to do?" ”

Ye Wanran raised her eyebrows and smiled, her eyes motioned for Mama Xu to bring the things she had prepared a long time ago, and put them in Pei Xiuci's hand with a smile.

"I know that you went to the street with Shen Lingyu today to buy a congratulatory gift for the county lord of Yining, and the second aunt hopes that you can secretly exchange this thing with a congratulatory gift."

Pei Xiuci saw what it was, and instantly blushed.

"Second aunt, why are you ......?"

"Xiuci, you grew up with the second aunt, in the eyes of the second aunt, you are like my own sister, people often say that sisters can work together to achieve things, so you are helping the second aunt now, that is, helping yourself."

Ye Wanran gently held her wrist and said very earnestly.

Pei Xiuci thought about her situation in the General's Mansion, and thought about Ye Wanran's words, and secretly made up her mind in her heart.

Grandmother rarely let her go to the banquet of the powerful, this is a good opportunity for her to ascend to the sky.

Moreover, the second aunt said well, now the general's mansion is the third aunt in charge, but the two of them have a quarrel again, in case the third aunt ruins her good marriage because of the second aunt, then she really has no place to cry at that time.

Since this is the case, it is better for her to set up a dismount for the third aunt first!

……

Two days later, the county lord of Yining and the ceremony arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Pei Xiuci changed her clothes and waited at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Seeing Shen Lingyu come out with Mona, Pei Xiuci's eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to take the brocade box in Mona's hand.

"Third aunt, I'll take this congratulatory gift."

Shen Lingyu only thought that she wanted to please herself in front of her, so she didn't take it to heart, nodded and asked Mona to give her the brocade box, and then got into the carriage.

The Yong'an County Mansion is next to the palace, if she hadn't married into the General's Mansion, with Shen Lingyu's business girl, she would not have been able to reach the threshold of the Yong'an County Mansion in this life.

But now, not only is she here, but she is also a loyal and brave lady, and life is really impermanent.

After the carriage slowly stopped, Shen Lingyu went down first, and then turned around to pick up Pei Xiuci.

She couldn't hold the brocade box in her hand, so she had to hand the brocade box to Shen Lingyu first.

After Shen Lingyu took it, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

Pei Xiuci was afraid that she would find out the clue, so she hurriedly took the brocade box as soon as she got off the carriage.

Shen Lingyu remained silent and took her and Mona into the county king's mansion together.

After entering the mansion, the people in the house will take away the congratulatory gifts from the guests, and present them to the county lord of Yining one by one before the banquet.

Shen Lingyu glanced at it casually, and happened to see that the congratulatory gift sent by Xie Yunzhou was also among them.

The box was marked, so she could see it at a glance.

The box looks quite big, and I don't know what kind of treasure it is.

Shen Lingyu guessed selfishly, and after a moment of silence, he said a few words to Mona.

Pei Xiuci said curiously: "Third aunt, is there anything you can't let me listen to?" ”

Shen Lingyu smiled lightly, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring something with me, so I asked Mona to go back to the house and help me get it." ”

With that, she winked at Mona.

Mona knew how to leave, and she was full of kung fu, and disappeared in front of Pei Xiuci in the blink of an eye.

Pei Xiuci didn't go to her heart, and her eyes were quickly attracted by the scenery of the Junwang Mansion.

The king of Yong'an County is really worthy of being the emperor's favorite nephew, and the mansion that gave the seal is the most beautiful mansion in Beijing, and there are many strange flowers and plants in the front yard, all of which are precious varieties that Pei Xiuci has never seen.

Girls are by nature, and they can't help but be curious when they see anything, and they keep wandering through the flower beds.

Shen Lingyu was afraid that she would run away, so she followed her every step of the way, but she always felt that there was a sight that stayed on her.

But when I looked around, I didn't see a single suspicious person.

Could it be that she felt wrong?

She shook her head, looked back and saw that Pei Xiuci had run away again, and hurriedly followed.

Not far away, hidden in the corridor behind a cluster of violets, Xie Yunzhou leaned lazily against the pillar, his deep eyes swept towards Shen Lingyu in the garden from time to time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Yi stood aside and said, "I have found out clearly, the assassins that night were sent by Pei Er Gongzi, and their target was not you, but Pei Sanda. ”

Xie Yunzhou laughed when he heard this, "So, Shen Lingyu deliberately lured the assassin to the other courtyard after knowing Pei Lanqing's movements in advance?" ”

"Uh......"

Shi Yi didn't know how to answer.

Although he privately felt that Mrs. Pei San should not be so bold, judging from the situation last night, the assassin was indeed led by her.

It's just this kind of uncertain matter, he doesn't dare to make a conclusion, after all, the master's attitude towards Mrs. Pei San is different from others.

Not to mention anything else, just that he has followed his master for so many years, and Mrs. Pei San is the first woman to get off the master's bed in disheveled.

While pondering, the light and shadow in front of him suddenly flashed, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the master walking straight in the direction of the garden.

Obviously, the master went to settle accounts with Mrs. Pei San.
