Pei Qiuyun shook her head repeatedly, and her hairpins and hairpins swayed together.
"Father, mother's crime does not deserve death..."
Pei Jian sighed, "A country has its own laws and a family has its own rules. Your mother is self-righteous and disregards human life. Now she is mentally disturbed and has lost her mind. She can only speak three sentences. She must be crazy. Yunniang, if it weren't for you and Chen Ge'er, this Zhenguo Mansion..., it's better to disband it."
He sat upright in the pipe cap chair and spoke calmly and forcefully.
It was neither hurried nor slow, but it made people feel terrified.
"Pei Jian, what do you want to do? Don't you want all the people in this mansion?" Because of these words, old Mrs. Xiao suddenly trembled all over, and with a trembling voice, she asked the strange and distant husband in front of her.
Broken up?
The huge Duke Zhenguo Mansion is broken up?
Why do you say it so lightly? There are so many people in the room, including children and grandchildren, and you just don't care?
Old Mrs. Xiao fell down on the couch, staring at Pei Jian, but Pei Jian rarely looked at her since he came in.
At this moment, he only spoke to his daughter, "After you came to Beijing, you came back to visit your family. This should have been a happy thing, but you listened to slander and jumped up and down in this mansion. The fourth wife came to visit you for the first time. How are you going to treat her?"
Pei Qiuyun was incoherent after hearing this.
"I am the eldest sister. My mother has been living in the temple for a long time and has no management. I am worried about An Ge'er, who is already old and has no children..."
"Is that impatience?"
Pei Jian sighed, "Liu Ke doted on his concubine and gave birth to a son born out of wedlock. How heartbroken you are! Your letter back home has caused your father to worry a lot."
I wish I could invite all the famous doctors in the world to treat Pei Qiuyun's health so that she could have a boy in one go.
Now, her wish has come true, and she has forgotten all the hard times she had lived in the past.
Instead, they impose it on others...
Pei Jian didn't say much, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was very disappointed with his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Song Guanzhou stood behind the screen and could see everything inside and outside.
When she heard Pei Jian's words, she felt sad. She thought her father-in-law had forgotten the grievances she had suffered, but she didn't expect that -
Whatever!
Then Qi Yueniang said softly, "Father, my elder sister has no other intentions. Please calm down. We, the children and grandchildren, depend on you for our livelihood. If you find that we, the younger generation, have done something wrong, you should reprimand and punish us. We will obey you."
Don't talk about breaking up.
Pei Jian raised his head slightly and looked at the roof of the Buddhist temple. "The miserable state of the third brother and his son. Fang'er died unjustly in this Buddhist temple at a young age. Even your fourth brother and his wife almost died in the Jianshui room. That harmful place - huh!"
The last sneer was like a bamboo arrow shot out of nowhere, piercing Xiao's heart.
Her face was filled with hatred. "I knew you were thinking about that bitch mother and son. Pei Jian and I have been married for decades, through thick and thin. You don't remember the hard work I, Xiao Muxue, have put in at all!"
This was the first time Pei Jian turned around and looked at Old Madam Xiao since he entered the door.
"Remember all your crimes. If you were an ordinary family, you would have died a hundred times, but your good daughter and niece stood up for you. Otherwise, I will explain everything to you in front of the children today."
"Pei Jian, you are talking nonsense! When have I ever killed anyone?"
"Sea, don't you hear what I say?"
Pei Hai quickly turned around, bowed and replied, "Master, I will send someone to call him right now."
"...Don't forget my second brother. If he is not here, call Hua Ge'er to come as a witness. I have long since given up on managing the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I will write this letter to ask His Majesty to make a decision."
"How do you want to go away?"
Old Madam Xiao's eyes were dim, "You don't care about the lives of the people in this mansion?"
Pei Jian seemed to have never heard of it. "It's just hard for my brother Chen. He has been a prince for many years in vain, but in the end he lost his title."
what? !
When Xiao Yinxiu heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
Not allowing Pei Chen to inherit the title?
This...how can this be possible?
Xiao Yinxiu also panicked and quickly knelt down to salute, "Father, what my sister-in-law said is true. The children are young and ignorant. If they do something wrong, you should punish them. No one in this mansion can be dispersed."
After saying that, she turned sideways again and stopped Pei Hai.
"Uncle Hai, for such an important matter, you must not ask Second Uncle and Prince's brother-in-law to come. Really..., hurry up and persuade Uncle."
The four words "this is not a joke" stuck in my throat.
She didn't dare to say it, but she knew that Pei Jian was not joking.
"Madam, please allow me to pass. The master's order is something that anyone in this mansion can resist, except me."
What this means is that you are all disobeying your father.
Xiao Yinxiu knew that she shouldn't stop him, but if she really called the prince, the family shame would be exposed. How would her eldest sister gain a foothold in the prince's mansion in the future?
She looked back at Pei Qiuyun, who had a blank expression on her face.
"Father... calm down."
"It's better to break up. Without the burden of the Zhenguo Mansion, I can live a more comfortable life. Yue Niang and Qin Ge'er have no one to rely on, so follow me to seek refuge with the third brother. Although your second brother is useless, he has a house and land, so he won't worry about starving to death. As for your fourth brother, he is an official in the court, and he can survive with Guan Zhou."
As for the Xiao family——
Pei Jian looked at his eldest daughter, whose face was pale. "You are smart and filial. Mother and daughter are connected by heart. I have always known your mother's sorrow and bitterness. She entrusted you to be filial, and I, as a father, am relieved."
Do not!
Pei Qiuyun had cold sweat on her forehead at this moment. She wanted to kneel down, but her father's stern look made her dare not act rashly.
"Father... You must not do that."
Pei Jian closed his eyes slightly, but after a moment, he opened them again, "Da Hai! What are you standing there for? Go!"
This loud shout frightened not only the people inside the house, but even the maids and old women outside the house were startled and trembled.
Ren Dong and Die Yi's eyes met, and the latter came up quietly, "Sister Dong, something happened in the house, I wonder if the young lady——"
"Wait a minute."
Inside the room, except for Pei Hai and Song Guanzhou who were standing, everyone else knelt down.
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
The three words "no" made several people's lips sore. Old Mrs. Xiao, who was slumped on the soft couch, now leaned half of her body on the kang table, almost unable to breathe.
"You are trying to kill me!"
"You value your life the most, and no one can take you away."
Otherwise, Pei Jian wanted to end the Xiao family thirteen years ago, but there were too many ties.
Pei Qiuyun knelt down in front of Pei Jian, threw herself on his knees and sobbed, "Father, I am ignorant. I beg you to take back your decision. I will be going back to southern Yunnan in a few days. I was wrong!"
wrong?
Just these two words!
Pei Jian sneered, "Liu Ke didn't want to bring the princess with him when he came to Beijing to attend the funeral! The legitimate son in the mansion is weak, and you can't distinguish the priorities. Just because of the secret letter secretly sent by Ah Xiu in the mansion, you ignored it and came to Beijing with great fanfare."
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Guanzhou, who was standing behind the screen, suddenly realized.
It turns out that Pei Qiuyun was the reinforcement that Xiao Yinxiu brought in...
Gee!
