Some are happy and some are sad.

At the end of the court meeting, Pei Rong was immediately taken to Shanglin Prison without giving anyone time to react. After Dingguo Mansion knew the news, the house immediately became a mess. Li passed out on the spot, and Pei Ning endured the grief to take care of her, and the servants were panicked.

Unexpectedly, the huge Duke's Mansion actually showed signs of collapse in half a day.

In the end, it was Pei Yun who came forward to calm people's hearts. With the help of the general housekeeper Pei Yongnian, the panic that spread in the mansion was gradually stopped.

Pei Yongnian was slapped by Mr. Xi and has been in bed recovering from his injuries for the past few months. Now his face is looking as white as snow.

Pei Yun asked him to stay in the house as housekeeper, and he took a few servants to go to the mansions of the founding princes to ask for help. He only hoped to gather enough power to make His Majesty the Emperor take back his decree. However, Pei Rong's performance in today's court meeting

It was too unbearable, and Emperor Kaiping's attitude was very clear. No one dared to get into trouble at this time.

Although most of the nobles received Pei Yun very warmly, some people could not hide the ridicule and sarcasm in their eyes.

It is really ridiculous to say that two generations of dukes have produced outstanding achievements in the government of the country, but now they have to rely on a young man to support their appearance.

Pei Yun didn't seem to notice these looks and begged earnestly over and over again.

Some dignitaries who had close relations with the Dingguo Mansion advised Pei Yun not to be anxious and to wait until His Majesty calmed down before making plans.

After going around, only three or four families were willing to write immediately to plead for mercy.

Pei Yun remained calm from beginning to end, which made the nobles have a good impression of him.

When we returned to Dingguofu, it was already late at night.

As soon as he arrived at the inner house, he saw the maid Wen Yu asking him to go to Ding'an Hall with an anxious look on her face.

"Ancestor."

Pei Yun saluted respectfully after entering. At this time, his voice finally showed some fatigue.

Pei Taijun sat on the high platform with a dull expression and said to the maids next to him: "You all get out."

Pei Yun stood up and sat down next to him, his face as calm as a pool of quiet water.

Under the bright light, Pei Taijun was silent for a moment and then asked indifferently: "Why are you doing this?"

Although the old lady was content with her life in the inner house, she was not completely ignorant of the outside world. In fact, she also had her own channels for information. After the bad news of Pei Rong's imprisonment came, she did not come forward to solve the chaos in the house, but asked people to inquire.

Details. What happened at the court meeting was not top secret, and she soon knew the cause and effect.

She knew her own son very well, and she didn't need to think too much to figure out what was strange about this matter.

Because of this, she felt that Pei Yun, who was usually the most peaceful, was so strange.

Pei Yun seemed to have expected this scene. He said calmly: "Old ancestor, things are different now. Your Majesty just wants to keep the lintel of the Pei family intact, but he does not rely on us. The third child... Pei Yuehe

The conflict between the fathers cannot be resolved peacefully, and sooner or later it will become more intense, and by then it is very likely to involve the entire Pei family."

Why doesn't Mrs. Pei understand this truth, but she has been unable to make a decision for so many years? Isn't it because the mother-son bond in her heart cannot be let go?

She said in a trembling voice: "Brother Yun, do you know what you are doing? That is your biological father!"

Pei Yun nodded and said, "My grandson understands."

"You understand... what do you understand? You clearly know that your father is not good at politics, but you encourage him to file a petition. You are driving him to death!"

"Old ancestor, you know my father's temperament well. He will never give up until Pei Yue dies. But Pei Yue is no longer the bastard he used to be. Not to mention how much Gu Liang and Uncle Shen value him, just the title given by His Majesty this time can

I’m sure, it’s difficult to touch him. If you let your father go all the way, your grandson will worry that the entire Pei family will be buried with him.”

"No matter what, you shouldn't do this. If your father says something wrong and someone finds out, what will happen to you in the future? Have you ever thought about it?"

Pei Yun was silent for a moment, then smiled casually and said softly: "Ancestor, the Pei family cannot fail. This is the most important bottom line. If anyone jeopardizes this bottom line, except you, everyone should abandon it, including your grandchildren.

Inside.”

Pei Taijun looked at him blankly, as if it was the first time he could see clearly the face of this grandson who liked to bury his head in books.

Pei Yun continued: "Ancestor, don't worry. When my grandson persuaded his father to take a preemptive strike, he asked him to take out a large sum of money and scatter it all. Several prisons in Shanglin Prison, Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment have secretly opened up the joints.

"Originally, my grandson was planning to go find Uncle Shen himself, but now it seems that there is no need. Although my father will suffer some hardships in Shanglin Prison, his life will not be in danger."

After a long time, Pei Taijun asked sadly: "What about the future?"

Pei Yun lowered his head slightly and said seriously: "If my father is away, my grandson will take care of the things in the front yard. The ancestors will still need to work hard for a while in the inner house. After all, my mother's temperament is unreliable. The eldest brother is making contributions in the west, and the grandson is at home.

Keep the legacy, my father can’t do anything anymore, and nothing will happen to the Pei family. People are injured and need to recuperate, and so does a family."

He paused and said with a strange smile on his face: "Pei Yue seems to have won this game, but after all, he personally sent his biological father to prison. In the long run, this is not a good thing. As for the future,

My grandson feels that there is no need to fight day and night, so he can only figure it out slowly."

The Ding'an Hall was as warm as spring, and Pei Taijun's mood gradually calmed down. She looked at Pei Yun with a complicated expression and said, "It's hard for you."

Pei Yun said calmly: "This is what a grandson should do. Ancestor, there is something related to my eldest sister, and my grandson would like to ask you for an idea."

After a while, Pei Taijun fell into silence after listening, showing hesitation.

Pei Yun said softly: "Right now, it's just an idea, so I'm not in a hurry. My grandson thinks we can watch it while walking. After a year and a half, the impact of my father's case has subsided, and we will make a decision when the time is right."

Pei Taijun thought about his son who was imprisoned in Shanglin Prison, and looked at the calm and calm expression of the young man in front of him. He finally nodded slowly and said: "That's fine."

…

Xiangyun Store, in a bedroom in the backyard.

Pei Yue's movement of reaching out was very sudden, and a drunk person is much stronger than usual. If the person he pulled was a peach blossom, his arms would be filled with the warm fragrance of nephrite at this moment, and he would be hugging her extremely tightly.

He smoothly grasped Ye Qi's wrist and pulled hard, but it didn't move at all.

No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't shake it, as if he was pulling a stone pillar rooted underground.

The third time he tried all his strength to suck the breast, but with a flick of Ye Qi's wrist, Pei Yue's arm instantly flew back, almost hitting him in the face.

A long silence.

Pei Yue quietly opened his left eye, and then saw Ye Qi staring at him with a half-smile.

"It's quite similar to pretending to be drunk." Ye Qi raised the corner of his mouth and said.

Pei Yue let out a long sigh, sat up with some difficulty, burped and smiled: "I'm not pretending to be drunk. I was indeed drunk when I left the park, but on the way back, that guy Gu Fan kept talking in my ear.

While nagging, he made me so drunk that I woke up."

Ye Qi ignored his words, stepped forward and leaned down and asked, "What did you want to do just now?"

The distance between the two suddenly narrowed, with only half a foot between their faces. Pei Yue could even smell the faint fragrance of Ye Qi's body.

He was about to take advantage of the situation and make a joke, but soon he noticed Ye Qi's unkind eyes, so he said seriously: "I want to test whether my strength has improved. Now it seems that I still need to exercise more."

Ye Qi just looked at him steadily.

The idiom "exhaling like a orchid" came to Pei Yue's mind.

"Puch."

A smile spread across Ye Qi's face, he straightened up and said, "Then you have to step up, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold me back for the rest of your life."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Are you leaving now?" Pei Yue was slightly disappointed.

Ye Qi smiled and said: "The facekerchief is right next to it. You can clean it up yourself. I'm not used to serving others."

Having said that, when she left with her back to Pei Yue, her face turned red unconsciously, as if she was the drunk one.

Pei Yue sighed softly and stood up to wash his face. After a moment, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something different in Ye Qi's previous sentence?

He thought about it for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

Early the next morning, Pei Yue had just washed up when Taohua and Mr. Xi appeared in front of him.

The store became more lively, and Pei Yue also ushered in a real leisure time.

After arranging things at Shouyang Mountain every day, he would either learn various abilities from Mr. Xi, practice with Ye Qi, or taste Taohua's new delicacies. His life was extremely comfortable. Apart from that, he

I only went back to Green Willow Manor once, and naturally it was quite lively. Ever since the villagers knew that he had been ennobled, they even walked with much more air than before.

Of course, what Pei Yue cares about most is hiring skilled craftsmen from the village. Briquettes are the most important thing to him at the moment.

Everything went very smoothly. After the craftsmen successfully made qualified utensils, the infrastructure construction on the Shouyang Mountain side was also completed. With the endorsement of eight noble families, including Pei Yue himself, Xiangyun Company was not recruiting workers.

Facing any obstacles, a large number of strong laborers went to Shouyang Mountain to start working.
Chapter completed!
