After Grandma Liu left, Pei Yue took out the oil paper bag hidden behind the quilt, and carefully and carefully ate all the remaining cakes with the bowl of water. He chewed slowly because his body was too thin.

, I'm afraid there will be problems if I suddenly overeat. But the portion of six pastries is not much. After all, it is the food of the Duke's Palace, which is small and exquisite.

After eating the pastries and drinking water, Pei Yue felt some strength in his body, so he stood up and pushed open the wooden door.

Stepping out the door, he breathed in the fresh air greedily.

He had not smelled this kind of fragrance without any industrial smell for a long time.

The mansion is covered with greenery, and the houses are hidden among the greenery.

A green path with newly sprouted buds beside the road.

In the distance, there is running water flowing through the mansion, two or three arched bridges, several pavilions, and pavilions.

Pei Yue can naturally see that this is an elegant and exquisite Jiangnan style garden. People often say that once you enter a marquis gate, it is as deep as the sea, let alone a mansion that has been flourishing for more than a hundred years? If there is no acquaintance to guide you, even if someone breaks in

If you come here, you will get lost among the many eaves, and you will not be able to tell the difference between east, west and north.

Fortunately, Mingyue Pavilion is a very famous place in the mansion. Pei Yue has visited it often and still has an impression in his mind.

After identifying the direction, Pei Yue walked there quickly.

Perhaps because of God's mercy, Pei Yue did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Although he passed by a few maids, he pursed his lips tightly and did not look away. His eyes were clear and his expression was resolute, with a faint sense of sadness and solemnity.

It seemed to frighten those maids with strange eyes.

Isn’t this third young master grounded by his wife? Why is he here?

Although they were curious, they were only third-class maids. No matter how desperate Pei Yue was, they would not dare to stop the young master.

After passing through a hand-drawing corridor and passing through the hanging flower gate, only a hundred steps away from Mingyue Pavilion, Pei Yue was stopped by someone.

"Third Young Master, stop." A woman in bright clothes stood in front of Pei Yue, with a solemn expression and a pair of slender eyes filled with light.

Pei Yue knew this person as one of the housekeepers in the back house and the daughter-in-law of Pei Wu, the housekeeper in the front yard. Everyone in the house called her "from the Pei Wu family".

"Sister-in-law Pei Wu, I have something to report to my ancestors."

Pei Yue said neither humble nor arrogantly. As for the title, he just did as the Romans do. He didn't mind lowering his attitude when he didn't have the strength.

Pei Wu's wife asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "This matter needs to be discussed with our ancestors face to face."

Pei's fifth daughter-in-law frowned slightly. She actually sympathized with the situation of the young man in front of her. She said he was a young master, but in fact he was not even as good as the people in charge of the house. Because of the Li family, most of the servants looked down on Pei Yue, no matter in the front yard or in the back house.

It is normal to be sarcastic and ridiculing. But there are good and bad people everywhere, and the palace of a prince is not all evil slaves who rise to the top and scorn the low. A woman like Pei Wu's daughter-in-law cannot be so mean.

only……

Although she sympathized with Pei Yue, she did not dare to offend Mrs. Li.

Then he shook his head and said: "Third Young Master, today the old lady and the Young Master and the ladies are admiring flowers in the pavilion. My wife is also here, I'm afraid she doesn't want to see you."

Pei Yue took two deep breaths, suppressed the depression in his heart, his eyes showed a hint of pleading, and he said solemnly: "Sister-in-law Pei, fifth, if it is not to the point where I can't bear to say anything, I will not make it difficult for you. Most people in the house regard me.

No matter what, it is rare to see someone as kind-hearted as my sister-in-law. I will remember the care I received in the past, and I hope my sister-in-law can do me a favor today. I will never forget her great kindness."

If the fifth daughter-in-law Pei just felt sympathy in her heart, now she is a little shocked.

She looked at the straight-backed boy in front of her, wondering if this was still the bastard who had a stooped figure all day long?

Looking at the look in his eyes, they are clear and bright, not as muddy and dull as in the past, but more firm and firm.

Although she felt strange in her heart, she was just a housekeeper after all. If she offended Mrs. Li, she might not have a good life in the future. Thinking of this, Pei's fifth daughter-in-law sighed softly and turned around to avoid Pei Yue's eyes.

He shook his head and said: "Third Young Master, don't make it difficult for me..."

Pei Yue chuckled, suddenly took a few steps back, and said sadly: "I am also a descendant of the Pei family..."

Not entirely sad.

"ah!"

The women behind her suddenly screamed, and Pei's fifth daughter-in-law suddenly turned her head and saw Pei Yue suddenly stepping towards the stone pillar next to her and bumping into it!

This woman was so frightened that if Pei Yue crashed to death in front of her, Taijun Pei would have her beaten to death!

Just as she was about to step forward, she heard Pei Yue roar: "Stop!"

The young man's face was covered with blood, his appearance was ferocious, and he said sternly: "Members of the Pei Wu family, please go in and say, I want to see my ancestors!"

The fifth daughter-in-law Pei's hands were trembling, and when he glared at her, she could no longer utter those excuses. She could only plead again and again: "Third Young Master, please don't be impulsive. I will go and ask the old lady for instructions."

"Go quickly!"

Pei Yue was standing next to the stone pillar. Looking at the posture, if the woman hesitated for a moment, he would bump into it again until he was killed.

The movement outside had already disturbed Mingyue Pavilion. Before Pei Wu's wife entered, a tall maid with almond-shaped eyes and willow eyebrows came out. When she saw Pei Yue's face covered with blood, she was also startled and asked quickly.

Said: "Third Young Master? What's going on?"

Pei's fifth daughter-in-law stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Wen Yu, the third young master wanted to see the old lady, but the former wife just said that the third young master should have a rest and not see anyone. Naturally, we did not dare to go against the madam's wishes, so we told her in the same way.

It belongs to the third young master. But the third young master refuses to leave, and..."

She didn't dare to say any more.

Wen Yu glanced at Pei Yue. As the most powerful maid around Pei Taijun, she naturally knew everything about the back house. She frowned slightly and said: "Third Young Master, it is always wrong to be so impulsive. I will take you first."

How about bandaging it and then taking you to see the old lady?"

Pei Yue did not hesitate and nodded: "Thank you, Miss Wen Yu."

Wen Yu smiled and said: "You are the young master, just call me by my name. Please follow me."

Pei Yue covered his forehead with his hand and followed her into Mingyue Pavilion. He first went to the east wing to treat the wound.

Although it was scary to see the blood on his face, Pei Yue knew what he was doing. In addition, his body was very thin and he didn't have much strength at all, so it was not so much a collision as his forehead rubbed against the stone pillar, so it was not a big deal.

There was an incense cauldron burning in the ear room, and the smell was elegant and pleasant. As the maid beside Pei Taijun, Wen Yu had a first-class appearance and figure. She had a calm face and gentle movements. After wrapping Pei Yue's forehead, she turned around and washed the blood on her hands, and said softly

: "Third Young Master, the old lady is already old and can't bear to make a lot of noise. You can slowly say it later, don't worry, she will make the decision for you."

What a smart girl.

Pei Yue secretly praised in his heart, knowing that his pretense just now did not deceive the other party. In fact, if he was not forced into a desperate situation, he would not be so decisive.

He said softly: "Thank you, girl, for your kindness. I just want a way to survive."

Wen Yu sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, turned around, looked directly into Pei Yue's eyes, and warned: "I know that the third young master has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, but in front of the old lady, please do not involve these matters in the master's eyes.

When it comes to my wife, just say she is a bastard of a servant. Third young master, your filial piety cannot be violated..."
