The Moon Over Tang Dynasty

Chapter 109 Gentle Trap Comparing Hearts to Hearts

Kudi Yanzhong's expression suddenly changed, and he said sternly in a second thought, "Keep your promise and relax. I didn't know much about these matters before. In this case, I will never let anyone make such a mistake in the future!"

Something seemed to hit the window lattice outside the window, but Pei Xingjian smiled and nodded unconsciously, "My husband-in-law can do this, and my son-in-law is relieved. This lady's help is of no use to an official, and I don't need my son-in-law." "Talk too much." He casually mentioned that someone in the Ministry of War was just a white man, and that someone could not even read a few words, but because of the foundation of the Yue family, he got to where he is now step by step.

Kudi Yanzhong either knows these people or has heard of them. They are all serious officials in his eyes, and they are the same people as him in heaven and earth. But it turns out that they are nothing more than that! I couldn't help but sigh, "It's really hard to predict a person's destiny."

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "My father-in-law is just too loyal. You are in your prime and have outstanding grace. Aren't you better than them? How difficult is it to be a daughter of an official family? It's just..."

Kudi Yanzhong raised his head and stared at Pei Xingjian closely. Pei Xingjian looked at him with a smile, "It's best if my father-in-law really means this."

Kudi Yanzhong suddenly became a little nervous and looked at Liuli, "I am already this age, my position is small, and I have only a few children. How can I dare to have such wishful thinking?"

Pei Xingjian shook his head and sighed, "Why should my father-in-law be too modest? Other sons-in-law would not dare to say that. It would not be difficult for my father-in-law to remarry a daughter of about the same age as a sixth- or seventh-rank official."

Kudi Yanzhong's heart had already warmed up, but it was hard to speak in front of Liuli. Pei Xingjian didn't take it seriously and just smiled and said, "This matter has to be discussed in the long term. It's not too late for my father-in-law to have an idea. Today. It’s already getting late, I heard that my son-in-law got two calligraphy treasures from Master Yu when he was in Hongwen Hall. I’ll look for them when I get home. If I find them, I’ll send them to my father-in-law in a few days.”

Kudi Yanzhong's eyes were bright and he was smiling, "You are busy with work, how can you dare to be so annoying!"

Pei Xingjian stood up with a smile, "As long as you are happy, what does this matter?"

This is what I said! Liuli was silent for a moment, stood up and followed Pei Xingjian to leave.

The two of them had just walked into the yard when the door of a room in the west wing opened with a bang. Hualu rushed out with a pale face, pointed at Pei Xingjian and was about to speak. Suddenly she met his indifferent eyes, and for some reason she felt in her heart. Shaking, he turned to Liuli and said, "It's all you! You're such a snake-hearted person, you actually instigated me to do such a thing!"

Liuli raised her head and was about to speak when Pei Xingjian gently pulled her behind him. He looked at Hualu and smiled softer than the spring breeze. "What do you mean, sister?"

Coral was startled, and when she saw the smile on his face, as if the indifferent and frightening look in his eyes just now was just her own illusion, she immediately became bolder, "Do you want you to take care of my family's affairs? My grandpa takes care of it." What kind of step-brother you want to marry? If you want to use this method to avenge her, I tell you, you have made the wrong decision! Don’t even think about whether Aniang and I will agree!"

Pei Xingjian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This is even more difficult to explain. Why should I avenge Liuli? Is it possible that you still have vengeance?"

Coral sneered, "Why are you pretending to be stupid? My mother just locked her up for a year when she was sick and stupid, so that she could avoid being embarrassed when she came out. She didn't beat or scold her and drive her out, so she still holds a grudge to this day..."

Kudi Yanzhong heard the noise outside and hurried out. When he heard this, he shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you go back!"

Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "Is there such a thing?" He turned around and sighed to Ku Diyanzhong, "My father-in-law, my son-in-law thought that the host of the concubine room just had a bad reputation. I really didn't expect that there would be such an unkind person." thing…"

Kudi Yanzhong's face suddenly turned pale. When Pei Xingjian mentioned this matter again, Hualu became even more furious, "What about the concubine? My mother-in-law doesn't manage this family well. How is it any worse than the main wife? I want you to instigate me. Why don't my grandpa marry a married woman to bring harm to this family?"

As soon as the door to the west wing opened, Mrs. Cao also walked out with tears on her face. She pulled Huanhuo and said, "Who told you, a silly boy, to talk nonsense? So what if your mother-in-law broke her heart? Your grandfather is now You just want to be an official, and you still care about our life and death! Now that your sister is married to an official, she probably won’t give up until she gets a decent wife to wear her down!”

Kudi Yanzhong stamped his feet and said, "You are still talking nonsense!"

Pei Xingjian looked at the mother and daughter in confusion, "The words of my aunt and concubine are really difficult to understand. Do you actually think that marrying a wife is just a way to harm the family and torture the concubines?"

Coral blurted out without thinking, "Exactly!"

Ms. Cao was startled at first, then realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "My aunt's enlightening opinions today must be something that the eldest princess and the prince's wife would be happy to hear. Pei has learned a lesson." , Resign now!”

As soon as these words came out, Coral, no matter how slow she was, suddenly woke up, her face suddenly turned pale, and she screamed, "You have wronged me! How dare you talk nonsense?"

Pei Xingjian nodded and smiled, "Pei really doesn't dare, and he definitely doesn't dare... to hide anything." After saying that, he turned back and took Liuli's hand, and walked out slowly.

Kudi Yanzhong's face changed several times, and he hurriedly caught up a few steps and said with a smile, "Keep the promise and stay behind. Children talk nonsense. How can you take it seriously? If this word is spread, it will not look good on the aunt's reputation."

Liuli had been silent at first, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but stop and look back with a smile, "Master, you don't have to worry about Liuli. My daughter is not a concubine, so it doesn't matter whether she passes it on or not."

Kudi Yanzhong was stunned and speechless. Cao's face turned white and red, and he suddenly rushed over. He knelt down and was about to kowtow. Pei Xingjian immediately pulled Liuli and retreated behind Ku Diyanzhong. Mrs. Cao had no choice but to turn her head and cry to Kudi Yanzhong, "Everything in the past was all my fault. Dalang, just let Liuli let go of the coral. In the future, I can do anything I want, just ask Pei Langjun." Don't be merciful, Coral will never dare to be rude to Liuli again. If you dare to offend her again, our mother and daughter will never be reborn." He kowtowed repeatedly. Seeing her mother knelt down and kowtow, Huanhuan rushed over with her face flushed and pulled her mother hard. Cao also pulled her, "Kneel down quickly and apologize to your sister! I beg her to spare you a lot..."

Kudi Yanzhong's head was as big as a bucket, and he jumped on his feet and said, "That's enough! Pull them up and drag them back to the room. They are not allowed to come out again!"

Aye and two other servants at home had been looking around for a long time. When they saw Kudi Yanzhong pointing at them and shouting, they hurried over. The two of them lifted up Cao, and one of them pulled the coral back to the room. and closed the door.

Kudi Yanzhong covered his head and took a few deep breaths before a smile returned to his face. He turned around and said, "Shou, look at what happened today..."

Pei Xingjian looked at Ku Di Yanzhong sincerely, "If my concubine and aunt can really change their minds, my son-in-law will definitely not tell the eldest princess and the crown prince's wife what happened today. But, father-in-law, what my aunt said today about my concubine's relationship with my aunt is After a year in the secluded room, not to mention my son-in-law, even the officials in the Ministry of War have probably never heard of such shocking things. If the family continues to be in such chaos, I am afraid that sooner or later these things will be revealed to the top. "

Ku Diyanzhong listened blankly, suddenly woke up, nodded hurriedly, "What the wise son-in-law said is true, this family must not continue like this! I don't dare to ask for anything, just a girl from a good family with a pure background, be brave Please ask my dear son-in-law to pay attention to this."

Pei Xingjian smiled and bowed, "This matter is important. Pei doesn't dare to accept the order. He will definitely ask a virtuous elder to come forward and take care of his father-in-law."

Liuli turned her head and looked at his flawless smiling face, and felt a shiver in her heart for her grandfather.

When he walked out of Kudi's house, Pei Xingjian raised his legs and got into the car. Liuli couldn't help but was stunned, but saw that he had stretched out his hand, so she had to take his hand and get into the car, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" "

The smile on Pei Xingjian's face disappeared at this time, and he held her in his arms silently. The car started to sway slightly, but he was silent for a long time.

Liuli sighed softly, "If I hadn't returned to peace today, I would hardly be able to remember those things. They say that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune in the future. Do you think I'm not doing well now?"

Pei Xingjian hugged Liuli's arm tightly and whispered, "Liuli, don't worry, I won't teach you any hardship in the future."

Liuli smiled and nodded, "Okay!" She couldn't help but raise her head and ask him, "Do you really want to find a stepmother for me now? Have you already thought of a good candidate?"

Pei Xingjian said "Hmm", "I'm about 60 to 70% sure."

Liuli asked quickly, "Who is he?"

Pei Xingjian said casually, "She is the sister of my former colleague. She has been living with her ex-husband and divorced at her parents' house for several years. Her father is a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of War. She must be less than thirty. She is literate and looks good. good."

The daughter of an official family is not old and her appearance is not bad. It should be very easy for her to get divorced and remarry. How can she live with her for several years? Liuli glanced at Pei Xingjian doubtfully, "What's wrong with this guy?"

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "How could it be wrong? It's very appropriate. She's just a little jealous." He just burned the concubine's hair and cut her face. She was so scared that no one dared Just marry her again.

Liuli suddenly realized this and couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. Suddenly something else came to her mind, "Are you really not going to tell anyone what Coral said today?"

Pei Xingjian chuckled, "I only said I wouldn't tell the eldest princess and the ladies, and I didn't say I wouldn't tell Pei Ruzhuo." The eldest princess probably wouldn't care if Coral is stupid, but Pei Ruzhuo is such an arrogant person. You know, I have been sarcastic a lot since I heard that I married Liuli. If I heard that the concubine my mother had chosen out of thousands of people was such a smart person, I would be surprised, right?

Pei Ruzhuo's arrogant and sharp face came to mind again, Liuli almost laughed out loud, but fell silent after a second thought, and suddenly whispered, "Shou, I really don't remember those things much, and I didn't think about it either. You have to spend time and energy settling old scores, can you please stop worrying about these things?”

Pei Xingjian's face slowly became serious, "Liu Li, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion. If I don't teach them a lesson today, and if I don't restrain their hands and feet in the future, I'm afraid they will try to harm you!"

Liuli slowly raised her head, "Then can you just pretend that you never knew about these things? Can you forget what I said today?"

Pei Xingjian was silent for a long time. The dirty and dark little room, her indifferent but painful narration, and the jealous eyes of the Cao family and their daughters when they looked at Liuli, once again passed through his heart. His wife had been abused and humiliated like that. However, the mother and daughter were probably still thinking about how to hurt her. How could he pretend that he didn't know, and how could he stop and spare them? He finally shook his head slowly, "Liu Li, I can't do it."

Liuli sighed, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, "I keep my promise, and so do I. There are some things, no matter whether you have forgotten them or whether you still care about them, I cannot forget them. I can't do it!"
