======================

The old lady was stunned. Although she was still a little angry, she was already a little shaken.

The family's misfortune is already very bad, why should we also worry about our son's future?

She opened her mouth and was about to speak when she heard a noise coming from outside. Someone trotted in and shouted as they ran: "Old lady, old lady, Brother Dun is awake and his fever is gone!"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly became energetic and said loudly: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

The person who ran over was Huanniang. She knelt down with a "pop" and said: "In reply to the old lady, our eldest grandma specially ordered the youngest to come to deliver a message to you. Brother Dun's fever has gone down, and he is here."

He has woken up too!"

The old lady suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt the urge to burst into tears. She couldn't help but clasped her hands together and murmured a prayer to the sky: "Thank God for the blessings of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. God has opened his eyes. Brother Dun is finally fine."

, Otherwise, how can I explain to the ancestors of the Zhao family!"

Nanny Zhang also had tears in her eyes and tried to persuade her from the side: "Old madam, Brother Dun has been saved by the auspicious signs of heaven and earth. You should be happy!" She sighed for a while, wiped her tears, and looked at the old man.

With his expression on his face, he continued to say cautiously, "Old madam, since Brother Dun is fine, then there is no need to send the official to Aunt Pei, right? Firstly, it is for the young master's face, and secondly, it is for Dun's sake.

Brother, what do you think of this blessing?"

The old lady wiped her tears. At this moment, her thoughts were all running to her great-grandson. How could she still have the mood to deal with Pei Xiner? Then she said: "You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living penalty. Send someone to show her to me first, and wait.

I went to visit Brother Dun, burned incense to the Bodhisattva and paid my vows, and then I will deal with her later!"

Nanny Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and then turned around and went out to arrange the arrangements, while the old lady hurriedly ordered someone to help her go to see her grandson.

Grandma Zhang took several of the confidants of the old lady's courtyard and a dozen women under her command, and walked out of the courtyard in an aggressive manner, heading straight for Pei Xin'er's residence. Soon she arrived at her residence.

In front of the courtyard, Granny Zhang waved her hand, and the old ladies were divided into several groups. Each of them brought a few women over to guard the doors of the small courtyard, staring at the courtyard in amazement.

The inexplicable maids and women have eyes as fierce as if they want to eat people.

After getting the letter, Pei Xiner walked out of the back room and saw this posture at a glance. She frowned and asked, "What's going on? Aunt Zhang, what are you going to do with such a big battle?"

Aunt Zhang looked at her, smiled coldly and said: "Aunt Pei, you have exhausted all your efforts, but now something has happened! The old lady has an order, please stay in this courtyard, don't go anywhere, and wait for her to come home."

When I have time, I'll come and 'talk' to you later."

Pei Xin'er couldn't help but frowned and said: "What Aunt Zhang said is really puzzling. How could I have 'exhausted all the agencies'? What is worthy of being revealed? The old lady ordered me not to wander around at will. I

I don’t intend to go against her wishes, so you’d better take these people away without looking like you’re guarding prisoners.”

However, Aunt Zhang still sneered: "Aunt Pei, at this moment, the old lady has a new order, how can we, the servants, dare to change it at will? It's better for you to be obedient and wait until the old lady is free.

Yes, she will explain all the reasons to you."

After saying that, without waiting for Pei Xiner's reaction, she turned around and walked away.

Ying'er was so angry that her face was livid, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "What a bullying dog slave! When the old man was here in the past, who dared to show any respect to your aunt? Now as soon as the old man left, everyone turned their backs and refused to recognize anyone.

Got it!"

Pei Xiner took it calmly, and said with a faint smile: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and following the trend, this is the normal state of human beings, there is nothing strange about it. Forget it, since the old lady has made up her mind to put us under house arrest, let's just let nature take its course.

." She looked at the stunned maids and women in the yard, sighed secretly, and said calmly, "Okay, let's go back, do whatever you need to do, don't hang around here. Even if something happens, it's okay.

What’s directed at me has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to worry.”

She was sure that after she was sent away, these people would at most be reassigned to other places, and most of them would not be implicated. Otherwise, if things got serious, no one would look good.

After receiving her assurance, the maids and women seemed to be relieved, and their faces looked much better. They all bowed and then dispersed, each returning to their respective posts. Pei Xin'er, Ruiniang and the others turned around and returned.

Back room.

Pei Xin'er sat down, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "They have probably started to take action. Looking at their posture, I expected it to be right. They really want to frame me."

She spoke extremely calmly, as calmly as if she was talking about someone else's business.

After all, Ruiniang had stayed in this home for a long time, so she had some experience. She couldn't help but sigh in a low voice when she heard this, and said: "What my aunt said is that looking at this posture, I am afraid that she is deliberately not letting us get through this easily! This is a test.

I’m afraid it’s sad!”

Ying'er and Juan'er couldn't help but open their eyes wide, looking at each other with worried and fearful expressions, and they tightened each other's hands, as if to encourage each other.

Pei Xiner saw it at a glance, and couldn't help but look at them with a smile, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, even if you deliberately put the blame on me, you won't die. The most you can do is kick me out, it won't be too serious."

Ruiniang immediately became anxious and rushed to say: "How can you say this is not serious? Auntie, if you are kicked out, what will you do in the future? You are only twenty years old!"

Ying'er and Juan'er were shocked, but they couldn't help but asked curiously: "Auntie, why is this? Why do you think they don't want to kill you?"

Pei Xiner glanced at them, then smiled slowly and said: "They want me to die, but it's not that easy. First of all, it's Brother Dun's illness. Grandma will definitely not let him die of serious illness. Now it's 80%

Things have improved. In this case, even if they frame me for poisoning, no one will die and no one will have to pay for it. Secondly, this is a family scandal. The so-called family scandal should not be made public. The old lady is too late to cover it up for the sake of the general. She will never let outsiders have it.

There is something to hold on to. If I die, how should she explain it to outsiders? No matter how she explains it, it will be in vain, but it will seem to be trying to hide the truth. If someone reveals the truth, how will she end it?"
