The chief's wife sat in the same place and did not move for a long time, as if she was going to sit until the end of time and pass away. Little
All of a sudden, tears rolled down her cheeks. No matter how hard she tried to wipe them away, they could not be wiped clean. The servants were frightened and hurriedly comforted her, but it was useless. One of the older nannies winked at the young maidservant. The young maidservant was also clever and quietly went out. The Old Madame liked the First Young Lady the most. With the First Young Lady around, she always smiled more.
Pei Xiuying also came quickly. Her footsteps were somewhat hurried, but she still did not mess up her bearing. "Great grandmother, what's the matter? Ah? "
When the chief's wife saw Pei Xiuying, she suddenly reached out and grabbed her tightly, "Pei Xiuying, Pei Xiuying, don't worry, don't worry, great grandmother will risk my life to protect you, I will definitely protect you … …" She was weak all her life. When she lost her beloved daughter, she could only cry silently. She absolutely could not let her great granddaughter fall into the miserable end of being a chess piece.
Pei Xiuying was confused, "Great grandmother, don't cry first. Tell me first, what happened, okay?" She softly pacified.
The chief's wife gradually stopped crying and her expression became more resolute, "Pei Xiuying, your great grandfather asked me to go to Chuan Zhou Fu to see Jin Qinwang and bring you along. His intention could not be clearer. Don't worry, great grandmother will not allow this kind of thing to happen, absolutely not. Great grandmother will find you a good husband … …"
"Great grandmother … …" Pei Xiuying's voice slightly raised as she interrupted her, "Great grandmother, I already knew about this matter. Great grandfather told me long ago and I agreed. So, you don't need to be like this. Although great grandfather's temperament is good, he does not allow people to disobey him. You two love each other for a lifetime, don't let Pei Xiuying cause animosity between you two."
The chief's wife felt as if she was splashed with a basin of ice water in the middle of winter. It was cold to the bone. It took a long time before she found her words, "Did your great grandfather say something to you, or threaten you? Do you know what the relationship between Jin Qinwang and our family is? "
"Great-grandmother, what are you thinking? Great-grandfather has always doted on me. Why would he threaten me? I'm doing this willingly. The family gave birth to me and raised me. They gave me the best clothes and education. When the family needs me, I'll naturally do it. Great-grandmother should know a thing or two about the current situation of the Pei clan. As the saying goes, no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned. If Ma Yingying alone could turn the situation around, that would naturally be the best. As for the relationship between Jin Qinwang and our family, from a nominal point of view, Pei Ying should call him Maternal Uncle. A few days ago, I have seen Jin Qinwang twice. He looks very similar to Great Grandmother … … "Before meeting Li Hongyuan, Pei Ying was indifferent to this" marriage ". Perhaps it was purely for the benefit of the family and that ambition that was full of greed. But after meeting him, other than that, she also wanted to conquer that man.
The chief's wife only felt a chill. The blood in her body was almost frozen. Looking at this great granddaughter in front of her who she doted on to the bone, it was the first time she felt so unfamiliar. No matter how righteous she was, she did not miss the ambition in her eyes. In the past, that bright and proud woman was also the one who resembled Pei Xiuying the most. In the end, she was actually this kind of person? Perhaps she was the one who resembled that man the most. Was it that she disguised herself too well, or was it that she was blind that she did not notice it?
So in her eyes, her days like this were merely to obtain the so-called respect. Could it be considered to be a lifetime of love with that man?
Unconsciously, she had already retracted her hand. She felt that she was very ridiculous. The person who needed her protection, she did not take action and only looked on helplessly. And when she summoned the courage to protect a person, the other party did not need it at all. Perhaps, he even felt that she was meddling in other people's business. She was originally a person who never dared to disobey her husband. This time, the courage came with difficulty, but it was so easily scattered. Perhaps in the future, there would not be anyone who would make her give birth to such thoughts. She would play her role well in this inner courtyard, be a living Bodhisattva without temper. Stretching out her hand for clothes and opening her mouth for food, muddling along and waiting for death, who did not know how to do that? In any case, according to that man's desire for control, she did not need to worry about the inner courtyard.
"Since that is the case, then you should go back and pack up. At the latest, you should leave tomorrow."
Pei Ying felt that there was something wrong with her, but she could not pinpoint the specifics. There was a bit of worry on her face, "Great Grandmother, Pei Ying has failed to live up to your good intentions … …"
"No, Great Grandmother just wants you to be well. Great Grandmother knows that you are a good child. No matter what happens in the future, you have to be well." Even if her heart was cold, after all, she had held her in the palm of her hands for so long. Even if she loved the house, how could there not be any bit of true feelings? Naturally, she would not curse her or hate her. That kind of love and friendship would end here.
Pei Ying's face was slightly gloomy, "It's Pei Ying's fault." In the end, she was not at the level of Clan Leader Pei who was cold-hearted and unscrupulous.
"Alright, go back and pack up."
"Yes."
Clan Leader Pei's wife watched as Pei Ying's figure disappeared at the door, "I hope you don't regret it for the rest of your life."
Not long after Pei Xiuying left, the twin sisters came. They probably bumped into each other outside.
In the past, she might have thought that the two sisters would not use their status as elders to cause trouble for Pei Ying. Now that she thought about it, she was too worried. As the legitimate eldest daughter of the fourth generation, the three generations above her doted on her and even had the protection of the head of the family. How could she be at a disadvantage? Even if someone was jealous of her, it would at most be a small fuss. They would definitely not go overboard. Now that she thought about it, in the past, whenever she was in trouble, she would never complain. However, there would always be people who intentionally or unintentionally revealed it to her. Naturally, she would be angry.
And every time, Pei Ying would always smile and comfort her, saying that she did not feel wronged. In terms of seniority, they were her aunts. In terms of age, they were younger than her. Moreover, they were just joking and did not have to take it seriously. With such magnanimity and courtesy, this great-grandmother would naturally feel even more distressed. Of course, she would help her vent her anger. Originally, it was only 30%, but she insisted on giving her an 80% punishment. After Pei Ying pleaded for leniency, the punishment became 12%.
In this way, she, this old thing, would "take revenge" for her. She, Pei Ying, did not have to do anything and even gained a good reputation. Everyone in the house praised her for being filial, magnanimous, and good-tempered. In reality, they just grasped this old thing's temperament and made use of her again and again. They also had a good sense of propriety.
The person involved could not see clearly. Suddenly jumping out of the memory, it was not a normal kind of panic. It was simply chilling.
Clan Leader Pei's wife panted as if she was about to suffocate. She was very uncomfortable.
Seeing that something was wrong, the servant hurried forward to help her breathe. The sisters who had been hesitating when they came in were also frightened and hurried forward. "Grandmother, grandmother … hurry up and get the doctor …" Although their grandmother didn't like them very much, she still knew the basic filial piety.
Clan Leader Pei's wife reached out and grabbed their hands. "It's okay, it's okay. There's no need to call the doctor." She gradually calmed down. "Why are you two little girls here?"
The sisters were flattered by such a pleasant expression. The younger sister said hesitantly, "We just heard that grandmother seems to..."
The elder sister quickly pinched her secretly. They had been watching that slut Pei Ying all the time and naturally knew that their grandmother did not seem to be doing well. How could they say such things? "My sister and I just came to see grandmother. It's just that your granddaughter saw that grandmother seems to be... We just saw Pei Ying leave. You have always doted on her the most. Why didn't she spend more time with you? "
Clan Leader Pei's wife was old, but her eyesight was actually quite good. She saw the sisters' actions and their little tricks in front of her. If it was in the past, she might have been angry and sent them away indifferently. But now, she felt that some things were really quite funny.
Speaking of which, these two children were her direct descendants. Pei Ying was only her elder sister's descendant. It was just that the two sisters had a good relationship and had never blushed since they were young, let alone have any dirty thoughts. Therefore, from the beginning, she treated her elder sister's children as her own. She had always treated them equally. After so many years, even among the Pei family, many people thought that she had given birth to all the children of the first wife. Because no one felt that it was wrong, naturally, she would not deliberately explain.
She felt a little guilty towards these two children, but that was all. At most, she would not do anything biased towards Ma Yingying in the future. She was already a person who had more than half of her life buried in the ground. She would not immediately withdraw her feelings and transfer it to these two children just because Ma Yingying had hurt her heart.
"I'm going out for a trip. Let Pei Ying come with me. Let her go back and pack her things."
The two sisters looked at each other. Their grandmother had not left Pei County for more than ten years. She did not even appear when the ancestors of her in-laws celebrated their birthdays. She was suddenly going out this time, so it was definitely not a small matter. If she did not bring Pei Ying along, they would not have any thoughts. But since Pei Ying was going, they would do everything they could to follow her. "Grandmother, bring us along too."
"Yes, yes. Grandmother, please take us with you. We promise that we will listen to grandmother obediently and will not provoke Ma Yingying."
Clan Leader Pei's wife was a little stunned. "You want to go too? Do you know what you are going to do? "
"No matter what we are going to do, Grandmother won't sell us. Grandmother, bring us along, okay?"
Won't sell you? Haha, what's the difference between this trip and selling people? However, according to the head of the family, if they still had to pick a few people, they would definitely have to choose from the grandchildren. The youngest generation, other than Pei Ying, was too young and naturally could not be brought along. Logically speaking, if they really wanted to form a marriage alliance, these two children's identities were the most suitable.
"Go and call your parents over. I will explain the matter to them. If they agree to let you go, I will bring you along." She was only their grandmother, not their parents. Moreover, she could not bring herself to send her granddaughters to someone else's door as a concubine, even if that person was her grandson. Therefore, it was better to explain it to their parents and ask for their opinion. As for whether they wanted to tell these two children, it was up to them.
As for the other candidates, there were many. Not to mention the legitimate children of concubines, there were even one or two of her concubine daughters who were of marriageable age. Of course, in terms of seniority, the last candidate was her grandson's aunt. She could not do such a crazy thing. As for the rest, there was nothing to worry about. She did not care about what kind of mood or thoughts one had. She only cared about choosing the beautiful one. Of course, because there was a possibility that she would become her grandson's concubine, she had to consider her temperament.
The two sisters looked at each other. It was indeed not a small matter. Thinking about it, they actually felt a little excited.
Their father was at home during this period of time. Therefore, they were quickly invited over.
The man was already over fifty years old. He was the first child of Pei Clan Head's wife. His current wife was the third. The age difference between the two was close to twenty years. The woman looked like a young married woman, but the man... forget it, there was no need to talk about it.
Pei Clan Head's wife deliberated for a moment and still only invited her son because she was not sure if this daughter-in-law knew about Wanwan.
As the legitimate son of Pei Clan Head, he was not a good-for-nothing. He knew most of the things about Pei Clan. And because of Pei Clan Head's teachings, their natural disposition was at least thirty percent similar to Pei Clan Head's. When he first planned to form a marriage alliance with Jin Qinwang, he first thought of his own twin daughters. However, Pei Clan Head pulled Pei Yu Ying out. He did not dare to disobey his father. Even if he had complaints in his heart, he did not dare to say anything. Now that there was a chance, he naturally had no reason to disagree.
Seeing this son's face full of joy and his promise, Pei Clan Head's wife only had four words in her heart: As expected. "... Then you go and talk to your wife and two children. It's best to ask their opinions. Being a concubine is not a glorious thing after all, not to mention it's the Imperial Family."
"Mother, you worry too much. At present, it is natural to hide it. In the future, when that nephew ascends the throne, even if the girl from our Pei Clan is not the Empress, she will at least be one of the four Imperial Concubines. She may even be like little sister in the past and be conferred the title of Imperial Gui Fei. How honorable is that? How could it be a disgraceful thing?"
These words were taken for granted just like his father.
Pei Clan Head's wife forced a smile. These sons, including the one born by her sister, all respected her. Perhaps they were filial enough, but they would not tell her about big or small matters. They would not ask for her opinion, let alone listen to her. They clearly knew that she was most concerned about the matter of his little sister, but they said it out loud and pierced her heart. Was this really filial? No matter how cold their heart was, it was just like this. "Set out tomorrow."
"Yes, this son will retire." There was nothing wrong with the etiquette. — — But what was the use of this superficial skill?
After leaving, he returned to his own courtyard. Whether it was his wife or his two daughters, he did not mention the specifics. He only told them that the person they wanted to meet was Jin Qinwang. What they had to do was to win his affection and stay by his side. At the same time, it was best to get rid of Pei Yu Ying. The current Pei Clan Head looked robust, but he could not deny the fact that he was old and could die at any time... Now was also the time when the brothers were fighting for power. Jin Qinwang's side was a very crucial chess piece. If his daughter won, the chips in his hands would immediately multiply. Even if the position of the Clan Head was not his in the end, he would have the ability to compete with the Eldest Branch. "... You alone may not be able to compare to Pei Yu Ying. Your advantage is that you have two people and one face. Jin Qinwang has seen countless beauties, but he may not have seen twin beauties. Men usually have a strong sense of novelty..."
As a father, he used himself as the standard to teach his daughter how to attract the attention of other men.
As the mother of the two sisters, the more she heard, the darker her face became. What kind of person did he think his daughter was? Rushing to the door to curry favor, and even had two daughters together. Was Pei Clan an aristocratic family or a brothel? "Husband Lord..."
The man turned his head, his eyes rather cold, "Prepare clothes and jewelry for the two of them."
With Pei Clan Head "setting an example", the daughters-in-law of Pei Clan's main residence had no right to speak. The more unyielding they were, the earlier they would die.
At this moment, the two sisters' faces were a bit green and white. They thought that they were gold and jade, but now they had to do this kind of thing. If outsiders knew, how would they have the face to meet people?
Perhaps he knew what they were thinking, the man's face became more gloomy, "Pei Yu Ying stayed, and if you can't stay, then find a place to end it. There's no need to come back. You have many brothers and sisters. It doesn't matter if you two are more or less. Useless waste, naturally there's no need to waste money and food. "
The two sisters looked at him in disbelief. Was this really the gentle and elegant father that they had in mind? However, from his expression, they could only see seriousness. In a flash, their faces were as white as paper. They had always been proud of being Pei Clan's daughters, but in the end, in the eyes of their own biological father, they were like dispensable objects. This kind of blow was ten times, a hundred times more painful than Pei Yu Ying deliberately scheming against them, but in the end, they were severely punished.
"Haven't you always wanted to suppress Pei Yu Ying? This is the best opportunity. When Prince Jin ascends the throne, you will become the most honorable women of Pei Clan. When the Clan Head sees you, he will have to kneel down. At that time, even if you are angry with me because of today's matter, you can take revenge. "
After giving a big stick, naturally, he also had to give a sweet jujube.
"Alright, I still have things to do. You two prepare well." When he left, his bearing was enough like his father.
"Mother..." The two sisters were in tears.
The woman also couldn't stop wiping her tears, "Mother has no choice, no choice, you, you..."
No matter how much they cried, they couldn't change the final result. If they did as they were told, there might be a way out...
The next day, the twin sisters, Pei Yu Ying, and three other beautiful girls were directly chosen by Pei Clan Head's wife. They knew nothing about the matter.
Six beautiful girls, after today, perhaps they would walk towards a completely different fate.
When the twins looked at Pei Xiuying, they were no longer so straightforward with jealousy and hatred. There was even some pity in their eyes. So what if she was the most outstanding girl in the Pei family? The few of them standing together were all the same. No one was more noble than the other.
Pei Yu Ying looked very indifferent, no different from before, but her heart was not calm. It was not because there were more opponents, she simply didn't put them in her eyes, but because she was placed together with them, it was simply the greatest humiliation to her. However, this was the matter decided by her great-grandfather, she had no right to criticize. As the most considerate and most educated girl, even if it was not her great-grandfather's decision, she should not say anything. She only needed to show her most outstanding side at all times.
At the end of the day, this was not something to be proud of, so naturally, they couldn't make a big fuss about it. Even the members of the Pei Clan didn't know that Pei Yu Ying was going out.
When they passed by Min County, although the two clans had not completely fallen out with each other, they were unusually nervous. Previously, Pei Yu Ying had sent a "valuable gift" back to her maternal family, but they had not returned yet. Min County did not let them return, and Pei Clan Head also did not allow them to come and pick them up. Obviously, both clans were betting on the other side to bow down first.
Pei Yu Ying's wife pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked in the direction of Min County's old residence. She sighed deeply, gave an order, and continued on the road.
As the convoy was sufficiently low-key, it naturally did not attract too much attention. However, before Min Yuhan left, she reminded her brother, the Min Family Head, that in the near future, the Pei Family would definitely make a move. Anyone who came from Pei County had to pay attention, especially those carriages with the Pei Family's insignia. No matter how inconspicuous they were, they had to inform him beforehand, especially those heading to Chuanzhou Constabulary. As such, Pei Yu Ying's wife and her entourage fell into the eyes of Min County's Min County.
Pei Yu Ying's wife could not wait to see Li Hongyuan, but when she thought of her own motive, she seemed to have no words to face him. Therefore, with a conflicted heart, she did not hurry and did not deliberately slow down the speed of her journey.
Pei Yu Ying had a residence in Chuanzhou Prefecture, and the people who lived in the main residence were the people who lived there. Out of the six ladies, five of them had to call him cousin.
Min Yuhan was the first to receive the news. Not long after this group of people arrived, he asked someone to inquire a little and guessed the identity of the main personnel. His eyes were cold. That old thing would not change his mind so easily. However, now he really wanted to see what kind of expression that old thing would have when he thought that he would definitely succeed, but in the end, it was all for naught.
Recently, Min Yuhan's side had not been peaceful. Perhaps it was because of his proposal to Pei Xiuying, but that grandnephew of his who admired Pei Xiuying was really smitten by the beauty. He did not care about anything else and did not care about each other's identities. Min Yuhan naturally did not argue with him.
As the younger sister, Miss Yuanyuan was naturally worried about her brother and had a good relationship with Pei Xiuying. However, it did not mean that this lady was completely emotional. She was usually very open-minded, but it did not mean that she was careless. On the contrary, she was actually very sharp in certain matters. For example, she had noticed that something was wrong in this matter. She did not have much contact with Uncle Yuhan, but she could be sure that he was definitely not someone who did not consider the consequences of his actions. Therefore, she did not quarrel and did not make a fuss. She even persuaded her brother and prepared to talk to Uncle Yuhan.
Perhaps it was because of Pei Xiuying, but Min Yuhan actually liked Yuanyuan now. Perhaps she was not outstanding, or perhaps she was not a peerless beauty, but her mind was simple, pure, and beautiful. After interacting with her, he felt that external matters were not as dirty as he expected. This was because when Yuanyuan came to find him, he did not say much and only told her, "… Believe me, Uncle Yuhan, Pei Xiuying is not a good friend. Stay away from her."
