523 [Murderous awe-inspiring]
Shen Danmo didn't expect such an answer.
Whether it is Princess Qiyang or Chen Qingchen, they are actually women she admires very much. After all, it is extremely difficult for women to do serious things in this world. Although the ethics of Daliang are not strict, it is still a rule for a woman to take care of her husband and raise her children in a secluded house. Absolutely correct concept. The fundamental reason why Shen Danmo has been very cold to Lin He over the years is that Lin He's father, Lin Donghai, personally assassinated Chen Qingchen.
The reason why she was surprised now was that Pei Yue, as a man, had the same thoughts as her.
However, she still said in embarrassment: "Lin He is already a useless person. Please don't take action anymore. After all, my father will not watch him die."
Pei Yue nodded and said: "I understand Master Shen's mood, and I had no intention of taking action."
Having said that, he did not think that Lin He would be a useless person in the future. If Silent Cloud was like a king cobra in his mind at the beginning, then Lin He gave him the impression of a lone wolf.
Wolves are extremely resilient beasts, especially after being injured, they are often able to do unexpected things.
Of course, there is no need to argue with Shen Danmo about these ideas, just keep them in your heart.
For some reason, Shen Danmo suddenly felt a little happy, so his tone became much lighter: "You have a different identity now, and it will be difficult to see you again in the future. If I have any doubts, can I continue to write to you? ?”
Pei Yue replied: "As long as Mr. Shen doesn't dictate it and you write it."
"Cheapskate."
Shen Danmo spat softly. Apparently this guy still remembered the first letter that year, especially the inexplicable four words he wrote in his reply. She still couldn't help but smile when she thought about it.
Pei Yue also laughed and said: "When I looked at that letter, I wanted to reply and say it's none of your business, but thinking that you could send a group of crows to kill me at any time, I could only swallow my anger."
There was a smile in his dark eyes, and he said softly: "Do you think it's not painful for me to stand and talk? It's obvious that your situation is already so difficult, but I still want to talk to you about the truth. In fact, this is also the case in my heart. What I thought was that I didn’t know you at all at that time, so I wrote it exactly as my father told me. Time flies so fast, and it’s already been three years."
Pei Yue said with emotion: "At that time, you were the most talented woman in Kyoto, and I was just a bastard in Zhuangzi who was looking for a living. How could I dare to offend you."
"It's getting more and more exaggerated. Stop it quickly." Shen Danmo's eyes flashed, and the topic suddenly changed: "By the way, if I write to you again in the future, will Ye Qi be jealous? She doesn't seem to have a good temper. Very good, just be careful of getting beaten."
Pei Yue frowned and said, "Miss Shen, you can't arrange Ye Qi in front of me."
Shen Danmo curled her lips and said, "Is it starting to feel bad now? She is so powerful, and I can only take advantage of her verbally. Don't you want to see the jealous heroine?"
Pei Yue has actually endured it for a long time, and his impression of Shen Danmo is pretty good. After all, she has really helped him, but obviously except when she mentions Ye Qi.
Looking at her hopeful eyes, Pei Yue asked very sincerely: "Do you like me?"
The maids not far away felt as if they had been struck by lightning after hearing these words, and they were all stunned.
Shen Danmo was stunned, then the fair and smooth skin on his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he uttered a sentence with great difficulty: "What are you talking about!"
Pei Yue said seriously: "You have been mentioning Ye Qi, so I think you must be jealous. In this case, you must like me, otherwise why would you pay so much attention to Ye Qi and me?"
Looking at his sincere eyes, Shen Danmo felt flustered for no reason, but quickly calmed down and raised her eyebrows: "You think so! I just have a conflicting personality with Ye Qi, what does it have to do with you? Pei Lord Marquis, although you are very popular in Kyoto now, you don’t have to be so sentimental."
"Oh, that's it. It seems that I did misunderstand. That's good." Pei Yue said with a smile.
Shen Danmo's eyebrows were raised, and he said with an unkind expression: "What do you mean by pretty good?"
Just as Pei Yue was about to answer, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the screen, and then a middle-aged man said through the screen: "Master Pei, my master is here to invite you."
Pei Yue was a little surprised, but still responded calmly: "Okay."
He stood up and walked out, followed by Shen Danmo. Seeing Pei Yue's doubtful eyes, she said seriously: "Dad is not a mysterious person. I want to see if something big happened."
Pei Yue nodded, and the two of them returned to the main hall together.
Silent Cloud was not surprised by the appearance of his daughter. His eyes always stayed on Pei Yue, and the worry in his eyes made the two young men involuntarily nervous.
Pei Yue asked solemnly: "Master Shen, what happened?"
In his memory, Silent Cloud had always had the character to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai. For the leader of tens of thousands of spies to show such a look, it was obviously not an ordinary change.
Silent Cloud stood up and said in a deep voice: "Pei Yue, I just received a piece of news. After careful consideration, I think I should tell you."
Pei Yue nodded and said, "Sir, please tell me."
Silent Cloud said slowly: "Last year, King Lu's concubine Xu committed suicide. Because of the outbreak of war in the Western Region, the palace did not help him set a new marriage. A few years ago, there was news in the palace that he wanted to choose a girl in the capital. The woman with an upright behavior and a clean family background is Princess Lu, and the matter will be personally presided over by the eldest prince’s biological mother, Concubine Wu.”
Pei Yue suddenly thought of a possibility and his face darkened.
Shen Danmo next to her reacted no slower than him. She looked at her father in disbelief.
Silent Cloud continued: "Two days ago, Concubine Wu hosted a banquet in the palace for the family members of Wu Xun's noble family in the capital, including your aunt Li, and... your eldest sister Pei Ning."
"Ah!" Shen Danmo exclaimed.
With her intelligence and wit, how could she not understand the implication of her father's words? When she thought of the grievances between Pei Yue and the eldest prince, and the feelings between Pei Yue and Pei Ning, she couldn't help but turn her head and look over worriedly.
This was the first time she saw Pei Yue with such a ferocious face.
"Okay, very good, Pei family!"
Pei Yue gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, and the murderous aura emanating from his body seemed to be real.
"Master Shen, please forgive me for not being able to stay for a long time. Please take my leave!"
Pei Yue turned around and left.
Silent Cloud said in a deep voice: "Pei Yue, control your anger! What are you going to do?"
Pei Yue stopped and turned to look at Silent Cloud. His red eyes frightened the father and daughter who were used to seeing troubles. He only heard him say indifferently: "After returning to Beijing, I haven't visited Dingguo Mansion yet. I guess... They want to scold me behind my back for being unfaithful and unfilial, so I will naturally give them a big gift. Doesn’t Master Shen think it’s inappropriate?”
"Calm down! There is only some simple news now, and the details of the matter are not yet clear. What problem can you solve by going to Dingguo Mansion now?" Silent Cloud said with a hint of helplessness.
He didn't expect that Taijun Pei would be so confused. This matter was not as simple as they thought.
Now the Pei family can still maintain its airs. If Pei Cheng or other children become talented in the future, they may not be able to make a comeback. But if they become relatives at this juncture, they will no longer be able to get involved in the military power. Even Pei Cheng will have to break away from the army.
Of course Shen Danmo was worried about Pei Ning, but she was even more afraid that Pei Yue would make things get out of hand, so she had to nervously advise: "Pei Yue, don't be impulsive now. It's not too late to wait until dad finds out the whole story before making a decision. "
Pei Yue looked at them, his eyes a little warmer, but he still shook his head and said: "I have already made a mistake, I can't make another mistake again and again."
