The calf was just saved by Pei Yourui, but seven or eight years old, with a hungry face, thin and small, look is out of the hard times.
Since being taken in by Pei Yourui, wellfed and welldressed, these three or four years of work, has been like a sapling pulling up a big one.
Ten years old only out of the head of the person, standing there already not much shorter than Pei Yourui, and the face of the rosy cheeks, eyebrows, wearing Pei Yourui specially asked people to give him to do the robe, if not say, who would not have thought that he is just a subordinate with the unusual rich little son about the same.
At this moment, when he heard the words, he revealed a perplexed look, “Prefecture Master, what did you say? The calf can’t understand.”
“You still want to play dumb with me until now?” Pei You Rui was so angry that she was shivering, and said in a trembling voice, “Just now, the county horse already showed me the cards, saying that I took eight thousand taels of silver and a pair of white jade golden ginsengs to buy the concubine Lu Chao Yu’s dowry guard Zheng An, and went to Liaozhou to plot against Jian Yiyu’s family, and His Majesty has asked Minister Gu to ascertain the matter! If it weren’t for Minister Gu’s good offices in front of His Majesty for me on account of the county’s horses, I would already be on my way to the palace for interrogation!!!”
As soon as she heard about this, she knew that she had been sold by Xiao Niu, “I don’t know anything about Zheng An at all, much less have I ever bribed him to go to Liao Zhou to do anythingbut I remember, a few months ago, you told me that you had met a former benefactor, whose mother was seriously ill, and who needed the White Jade Golden Ginseng but didn’t have a doorway to get it, and you couldn’t bear to do it, in your heart. So you took the liberty of asking me for advice on where you could buy White Jade Golden Ginseng!”
Pei Yourui received a lot of congratulatory gifts when she got married, and there was no shortage of precious medicinal herbs inside.
She is used to being a big lady who throws away money, and take the calf as a younger brother, sniffing casually asked a few questions, and ordered a pair of white jade gold ginseng from the library to the calf even the calf in the end did not pursue whether or not to send someone!
Not only that, in order to prevent other people know that they gave the calf such a precious thing, to the calf born cynicism, she even took the initiative to order Lanxiang is not allowed to spread the word, so far know this, only she, calf, Lanxiang three people!
Thinking of this, she looked incredulously at Xiao Niu, ”In my life, since I was pitched by Jian Yiyu and Changxing to the point of losing my father, I have understood that in this world it is not the case that if you don’t go to harm yourself, other people will not come to harm you. But why you? I in the end where sorry you, or you were socalled saved by me in the first place, was originally an ulterior motive?”
She asked, but was actually certain it was the latter.
Otherwise, the calf is just a fatherless and motherless little beggar, and is only this big this year, even if he wants to harm Pei You Rui, how can he think of such a plot?
He just could think of it, and where to get the 8,000 taels of silver?
Visible this child has a different origin, the reason why they have been towards their own side to get, absolutely not to repay the favor, not to find a backer, but have some plans a time Pei Yourui feel their heart stops: she is a woman of the boudoir, even if she was awarded the title of the county, in the end, is also dipped in the light of the Princess of Su Wang, what is it worth spending so much effort to plot? What is it worth for someone to spend so much effort on scheming?
Especially when Xiao Niu came to her side, she was in the worst time of her life, and at that time, she was even prepared to spend her whole life in Youzhou, and she would never walk to the imperial capital again!
“I myself am just an ordinary woman, I think there’s nothing worth your effort!” Pei Yourui pressed her hand against her chest, her pupils a little lax, and murmured, “You’re trying to win my sympathy and approach me, inevitably coming at someone related to me! Is it for my father? No, you only pestered me after my father went away! In that case, it’s for … the righteous mother?!”
It took almost all her strength to ask, “That gazebo, did you … you guys do this?!”
If Pei Ho is not dead, how can she go back to the Imperial Capital again?
If she didn’t return to the Imperial Capital, how could Xiao Niu and the others hit the Grand Princess of Jin?
Thinking of this, Pei Yourui was simply going crazy could it be that the one she had treated like her own brother all these years was precisely her father’s murderer?
“No.” Xiao Niu heard, silent for a moment, convergence of confusion and overwhelmed color, no longer pretending to be confused, his still childish face without the slightest expression, look at Pei You Rui’s gaze, as if looking at an ordinary stone without a drop of fluctuation, with a very calm tone of voice, said, “Initially pretending to be a beggar close to you, in fact, is aimed at your father.”
“It was only after your father’s unexpected death that I retreated and asked to follow you!”
“So I am not your father’s murderer, and even, when I was in the Pei family, your brother and sisterinlaw’s several conspiracies against you, it was me and my companions, who blocked them for you!”
Pei Yourui was stunned, “Who the hell are you guys? Rushing my father to … what do you want to do to my father?!”
“We have no ill will towards your father, and towards you as well.” When Xiao Niu said this, she saw the look of distrust in Pei Yourui’s eyes and didn’t care, continuing, “You now think that I am harming you by doing what I did under false pretenses in your name, but in reality, I am not.”
He thought for a moment and said, “The chief has already sent word before that my identity, if necessary, can be told to you!”
Speaking, also between male. The figure between the boy and the teenager bowed, based on this seemingly simple, but clearly through the orthodox etiquette of the action, Pei Yourui already vaguely peeped out his origin.
Sure enough, Xiao Niu calmly said, “‘Inkblade’ A Eleven, greetings to Prefectural Lord Jingmin!”
One of the Six Valves of the Sea, the Liu Clan of Donghu, with the secret guard “Inkblade”.
The true master of the Northland.
The depth of the foundation, even if the Liu family and the Shen family as well as three generations of tomb guarding, so that the dynasty and the country have forgotten the hefty reputation of their founding, the Pei family of Youzhou, which is located in the same north, is still out of reach!
Pei Yourui’s mind was in chaos.
“My master’s tombkeeping period expired in recent years, and he has since had to leave his post. The marriages of the clan’s sons and daughters must of course be considered for this purpose as well!” Xiao Niu, or now I should call him A eleven, narratively explains the ins and outs of his lurking at Pei You Rui’s side, “Although the Pei clan of You Zhou is not among the six valves of the sea, it is also a prestigious clan that has been prominent for several dynasties and is located in the north of the country with the Liu family, so it’s also considered a halfneighbor.”
“That’s why after the head of the family learned of the change in the marriage of the county lord, he intended to propose marriage to the county lord for the patriarchal son. The patriarchal son of the Liu family’s current generation is the Duke of Competition City, who won the list this time!”
A eleven said, “After learning that Senior Pei returned to his hometown with you, the county master, the family head ordered me to try to blend into the group and observe the county master’s disposition and behavior, and whether or not he was in tune with my clan’s patriarch.”
Pei Yourui was stunned, and her anger at being deceived was slightly calmed.
As the daughter of the Pei family, even though the Pei family’s ancestors were not as prominent as the Liu family, she had the common sense in the prestige family.
The reason why the famous family can have a long history, through several changes of dynasties are standing, the cultivation of the children, of course, is the most important otherwise the contemporary master of even more powerful, once the successor has no one, so the family is bound to be annihilated in history, obliterated by the masses.
And a complete upbringing can’t just be a father’s errand; a mother’s involvement is essential.
Therefore, the marriages of the children of the prestigious families, especially the marriages of the firstborn children, were very elaborate.
Souko, as the next head of the family, let alone talk about it after all, his main wife, was the main mother of a clan!
Under normal circumstances, the next patriarchal son, will be born and raised by this woman.
So how can the Liu family not be cautious? For this reason with a little tactics, sending secret guards to sneak into the Pei family father and daughter side, to find out Pei Yourui’s true nature, behavior, although there is a loss of light, but for the same prestige family origin of Pei Yourui, she is able to understand.
Because when Pei He chose a wife for her eldest brother, it was also a matter of deliberation, not a few means in the dark and in the open, and only after repeated weighing did he make a decision although her sisterinlaw is not good to her, but this is mainly because she and her sisterinlaw have not seen a few times, and their feelings are limited.
And Pei He left his last orders before he died, giving his daughter so many things, in this generation where daughters are generally considered to be outsiders, it’s actually quite normal for her sisterinlaw to have an opinion, after all, her elder brother’s opinion is even bigger than her sisterinlaw’s.
As a wife and mother, that sisterinlaw of hers was actually qualified.
“But you never mentioned Liu Jingcheng to me!” Pei Yourui stabilized her mind and said in a deep voice, “Instead, it was the county horseyou didn’t speak well of him in front of me!”
“It’s because after your father passed away, the family master dismissed the idea of proposing marriage.” A Eleven’s tone remained unperturbed, “Prefecture Master, please don’t misunderstand! The reason why the family head did this has no other meaning: it’s just that the Liu family has been dormant for many years and has just entered the world, so it’s really not suitable to be rashly involved in the storm! The family head is very appreciative of the county master himself, and has said that the county master is quite a great person.”
If Pei Huo is not dead, Pei You Rui on Jane Yiyu and Changxing Princess although there is also resentment, but not to the point of considering revenge, whether Jane Yiyu or Changxing Princess, the status of the noble, are above Pei You Rui, she wanted to take revenge on these two talk about how easy it is? Secondly, Pei Yourui’s nature is not the kind of person who is vindictive, after the embarrassment and sadness, she also endured.
But Pei He died, or to save his daughter died on the way back home: if Pei Yurui had not been repudiated, Pei He would not have returned home with his daughter, and how could he have died?
Pei Yourui who thought this way, the degree of resentment towards Jian Yiyu and the Changxing Princess can be imagined!
The Liu family understands her feelings, but as a great clan that desperately needs to revitalize its lintel, they surely don’t want to book the status of a first daughter of an imperial empress with an enemy of an emperor’s nephew before they’ve even rejoined the imperial court.
As for persuading Pei Yourui to dismiss such thoughts after marrying her?
The Liu family wants to be able to cultivate the next son of the main mother, there is a father’s enmity is not shared, Pei Yourui if so good to persuade, can be seen either a weak heart, or for the coolness of the people, whichever, the Liu family do not see; she did not agree to, and the Liu family will be born between the gap, so how would be able to assist Liu Jingcheng properly?
So for the Liu family, the best thing to do is to pretend that there is no such thing.
“Since after my father went, the Liu family head no longer considered proposing marriage to me.” Pei Yourui asked expressionlessly, “Then why did you follow me afterward?”
“Naturally, it’s for Her Highness, the Grand Princess of Jin.” A Eleven said cheerfully, “The Liu family has been guarding the tomb for many years, and their ears and eyes above the court have withered very much! Not to mention the news within the palace exams although Her Highness the Grand Princess of Jin doesn’t ask about dynasty politics, but as the golden branch of the two honorable dynasties, she can know a lot of things within the palace confinement. You are the jewel of her heart, you can also learn a lot of secrets from your own eyes and ears. I stay by your side, mainly for the family to collect this kind of information, so I will not harm you, after all, you have to have a long and short, even if it does not involve me, how should I fulfill my mission?”
Speaking here, a flash of fluctuation flashed in A11’s eyes, and he softly said, “Not to mention that you have treated me really well, and my heart is not willing to hurt you.”
“The Six Valves’ secret guards are most loyal!” Pei Yourui exhaled and laughed miserably, “Even though you’re grateful to me, if the Liu family wanted you to kill me, you wouldn’t hesitate, would you? Just as you cheated me out of a pair of White Jade Golden Ginseng this time and planted the Liaozhou extermination tragedy on my head!”
She waved her hand to stop what A11 was about to say, “I already know the purpose of your visit to my side! So, now tell us about Liaozhou!”
Pei Yourui’s expression was icecold, “You said you wouldn’t harm methis matter, how can you explain it?!”
