678 [Elder Sister]
Dingguo Mansion, Qingfeng Garden. Shen Danmo is very familiar with this place. In the past years, she would often come to visit Pei Ning. The two of them have also been close friends since childhood.
After looking around, she pretended to be surprised and said: "Sister Ning, it seems that the family finally understands that you are a big shot who cannot be messed with. I have never seen these things before. Did you find them out of Mrs. Tai's box?" "?" Pei Ning saw her pointing at the various antiques placed on the antique shelf, smiled and said nothing.
Liangyan said obediently from the side: "Miss Shen has a good memory. These furnishings are all appreciated by the old lady and my wife."
"Reward?" Shen Danmo shook his head, but he didn't compete with a maid who grew up in the Duke's mansion.
Pei Ning turned to look at the setting sun outside the window, and said softly: "The third brother should have returned home now, right?" Shen Danmo walked to her and sat down next to her, smiling: "If you ask me, you might as well move to Zhongshan. After living in the Hou Mansion for a while, you two siblings are close to each other anyway, and there are not many idle men in the city who dare to talk to Pei Yue." Pei Ning looked at her clear eyes and asked doubtfully: "Mo'er, do you have any What are you hiding from me?" Shen Danmo blinked and said, "Sister, why did you say this?" After all, Pei Ning is the eldest lady of Dingguo Mansion. She has seen various scenes since she was a child. The most important thing is that she treats Mrs. Shen Danmo He was too familiar with her, so he could sense something was wrong with her.
After smiling slightly, Pei Ning stretched out her hand to hold Shen Danmo's wrist and said softly: "You insist on accompanying me back home, and now you persuade me to live with my third brother. This is not like your usual style. Could it be that you are behind? Are there any other changes?" Staring at Pei Ning's gentle and intelligent eyes, Shen Danmo hesitated for a moment and sighed softly: "It's not that there will be any changes, but...Sister Ning, do you know that the fourth prince is like this? Why can we control Kyoto?" Peining said: "You said before that the Kyoto garrison is on the side of the fourth prince."
"Not only that." Shen Danmo shook his head, glanced left and right, and saw that there was only one maid named Liangyan in the room, so he whispered: "The Marquis of Fengcheng helped the fourth prince to seize power in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, so the fourth prince was able to mobilize the capital's army to the west. Camp and Nanying." Pei Ning was startled for a moment, and then softly exhaled: "Grandpa?!" Shen Danmo nodded helplessly, frowning and said: "Now the Marquis of Fengcheng is locked up in the Tai Pavilion, and the Marquis's mansion is also being imprisoned. Surround them, and those inside will not be able to escape. Although your mother should not be implicated this time due to the relationship between the Pei family, Marquis Fengcheng will definitely not escape death." Pei Ning's face turned pale, although she did not have a deep affection for Li Bingzhong. feelings, but that was her biological grandfather after all.
Thinking of the mystery behind this matter, she looked at Shen Danmo and smiled bitterly: "Mo'er, are you worried that I will come forward to plead with my third brother and embarrass him, so you came back with me to look at me?" Shen Dan Mo quickly shook his head and said: "Where are you thinking, sister? Why did I turn my elbows outward? I was just worried that you were too kind and would be pushed into a corner by some people, so I followed you to have a look. Pei Yue is now in the palace, and for a while I don't have the energy to deal with these things. If you are bullied again in the house, I'm afraid there will be a serious trouble in the future." Pei Ning nodded slightly, but at this time he heard the panicked voices of the maids coming from outside: " Please greet me, madam." The two looked at each other, Shen Danmo raised her eyebrows, and Pei Ning looked helpless.
However, she had just stood up and before she reached the door, she heard a shrill female voice coming from far away: "Ning'er, you can't let go this time!"
"I've seen mother." Pei Ning saluted meticulously. She looked up and looked across but was startled. Mrs. Li's eyes were red and swollen, and her makeup was messy. She changed her appearance from a noble lady in the past to a crazy woman who didn't know what to say.
She didn't even look at Shen Danmo who was standing next to her. She just stared at Pei Ning and wailed: "Ning'er, something happened to your grandfather! He was forced to do it by the fourth prince who killed a thousand swordsmen. Because of these things, he is now imprisoned in Taishitai Pavilion, and even the Hou Mansion is sealed. In a few days, the Li family will be questioned and beheaded. That is your mother's family, you can't just die without saving them!" Shen Danmo She frowned, if it wasn't for Pei Ning's sake, she would definitely slap the woman in the face at this moment.
What does killing a thousand swords mean? Does she think she is Empress Chen or Concubine Wu? If this word gets out, Li Bingzhong will probably be hanged overnight.
If it were Pei Ning a few years ago, it would definitely be difficult to deal with such a situation. However, in the past few years, Li had troubled her so many times that she had become used to it, and Xianyunzhuang and his party had made her mature a lot. At least I can not panic when things happen.
She sighed softly and said: "Mother, my daughter is just an ordinary woman in the boudoir, how can she interfere in such important affairs of the country? It's not that she doesn't want to save, but she really doesn't have the ability." Mrs. Li begged almost desperately: "Ning Son, please go and beg your third brother. He is in charge of everything now. As long as he is willing to come forward and say a few nice words, the palace will definitely not embarrass the Li family." Pei Ning looked embarrassed. Fortunately, she was not alone this time. In response, Shen Danmo said nonchalantly: "Madam, the fourth prince is committing regicide this time, and your father is his right-hand man, so he will definitely be punished with death. Even if you let Sister Ning go to Pei Yue, how could Pei Yue be punished?" How can I make the decision for His Majesty?" Mrs. Li glanced at her bitterly, gritted her teeth and said, "This is a family matter of the Dingguo Mansion. I am begging for my daughter, but it has nothing to do with you, Miss Shen!" At least she has not lost her last hope. Due to his rationality, he knew that the father of the talented woman in front of him could not afford to offend him, so he did not dare to yell out loud.
Seeing that Pei Ning still didn't let go, Mrs. Li glanced around and suddenly said bitterly: "If you don't agree, my mother will be killed in front of you today." After saying that, she rushed towards the wall next to her, and several big men rushed to the wall. The maid quickly stopped her with quick eyes and hands. Mrs. Li was hugged by everyone and started to cry loudly.
Seeing the pain on Peining's beautiful face, Shen Danmo blinked at her, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Sister Ning, just agree, that guy Pei Yue won't let go anyway." Li The family was crying over there, making people in Qingfeng Garden restless.
After Pei Ning was silent for a moment, a firm look appeared in his eyes, and he said softly: "Mother, if this is just a grudge between the third brother and the grandfather, although my daughter's words may not have any effect, my daughter will definitely intercede with her third brother. I hope He spared his grandfather's life. However, this time it was his choice to side with the fourth prince. His Majesty would never let him go after he woke up, and the third brother could not change his decision. The matter involved the emperor's imperial power. If the third brother had to force How will Your Majesty treat him if he interferes? From ancient times to the present, being arrogant and arrogant has been a recipe for disaster." She bowed to Li Shifu and continued: "If my daughter relies on the trivial kindness in the past, she will Forcing the third brother into danger, how is that any different from an animal? Please forgive your mother for your daughter's unfilial piety, there is nothing the daughter can do about it." Shen Danmo's eyes flashed with a strange light.
It turns out that not only is she growing up, Sister Ning is finally no longer as weak as before, but has become more and more magnanimous as an eldest sister.
She suddenly felt that she was also very lucky, especially since her relationship with Pei Ning had been so close since she was a child. At least in this aspect, she was far stronger than Ye Qi, that stupid woman who could only wield swords and guns.
Even though it was a bit inappropriate, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.(
