Chapter 892 891 [We will never see each other again]
Chapter 892 891 [Never meet again]
"...Pei Yue, daddy only has me as his daughter now. Since he has made such a decision, no matter what the reason is, naturally the daughter cannot go against him, so Danmo will probably not come to bother him again in the future."
Her words made Pei Yue and Ye Qi fall silent.
In fact, for a woman like Shen Danmo, who has a beautiful heart and a beautiful tongue, these words are completely different from her previous style, and seem a little stiff and straightforward.
But what can Pei Yue say?
Silent Cloud is neither Mr. Xi nor Gu Liang. Although he did help Pei Yue before, he does not need to report to Pei Yue how he acts, and it is impossible to consider everything from Pei Yue's perspective. No matter whether he really doesn't want to go Entering the muddy waters between Emperor Kaiping and Pei Yue was due to other considerations, and he could get out at any time.
Being able to let Shen Danmo take the risk to come and inform Pei Yue, help Pei Yue solve the hidden dangers left by Chen Xizhi, and even give him some advice, Shen Moyun can be regarded as the most benevolent person.
As for Shen Danmo's attitude, I'm afraid it can only be described in four words: fate but no separation.
Now that Silent Cloud has decided to draw a clear line with Pei Yue, can Shen Danmo continue to communicate with Pei Yue privately?
Doing so would harm her father and even the entire Shen family.
After a long silence, Pei Yue said solemnly: "Miss Shen, please tell Mr. Shen that if you have a destiny, Pei Yue will do his best."
Shen Danmo nodded and said, "I will."
She stood up leisurely, turned to look at Ye Qi, and couldn't help but recall the scenes of the quarrel in her mind, and said with a complicated expression: "Pei Yue just returned to Beijing yesterday, the wedding day should be changed, right?"
Ye Qi was not as sarcastic as in the past. In fact, most of the time it was Shen Danmo who took the initiative and she just retorted. After listening to the conversation between Shen Danmo and Pei Yue today, although she was not against the two He felt regretful, but he would not continue to be aggressive, so he said calmly: "Originally, it was scheduled for the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. Because Pei Yue was delayed in the south for a long time, the date was postponed to the beginning of next spring."
Shen Danmo looked at the young man and woman standing side by side, and said with a forced smile: "Then I wish you all the best in advance, a match made in heaven, and a long life together."
Ye Qi's face did not show the slightest pride of a winner, and he said softly: "Thank you very much."
Shen Danmo nodded slightly, glanced at Pei Yue again, and suddenly said before leaving: "Qinyuan is getting more and more attention. Find a time to move Chen Xizhi to another place. Although she won't be in any big trouble alive, But one thing less is better than one thing more.”
Pei Yue said warmly: "Okay."
"We're leaving, no need to see you off."
"Miss Shen, take care."
They are both smart people with clear minds. Pei Yue and Shen Danmo did not get entangled. She left very simply and he did not pretend to be pretentious. He just came to the back alley of Qinyuan and saw her boarding the carriage and leaving. Pei Yue on the street couldn't help but sigh.
"You are very worried."
Ye Qi said softly. If she had said this in the past, she would have been filled with jealousy, but now she seemed a little disappointed.
Pei Yue thought for a moment and said, "Even now, I still can't understand Master Shen's thoughts."
Ye Qidao: "Perhaps the emperor doesn't trust him that much, so in the current situation, if Taishitai Pavilion still helps you from time to time, it will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion. Silent Cloud's timely separation from you at this time may not be for protection. You. Compared with your previous difficulties, even without the help of Taishitai Pavilion, you will not become blind or deaf."
"When we were in the southern border, my husband told me that he and Master Shen chose different paths. When Pei Zhen was forced by the Tian family to fake his death to escape, my husband was disheartened and retired to the mountains and forests. Master Shen did not want to see the army fall apart. , and at the same time wanted to keep the general talents promoted by Pei Zhen, so they took the initiative to become Emperor Kaiping's lone minister. No matter what choice they made, they both had a common ideal, that is, the people of the world would live and work in peace and contentment."
Pei Yue finished speaking in one breath, then frowned and said: "How could a person with this kind of situation be at this time..."
He suddenly stopped.
Ye Qi looked at him with concern.
"wrong……"
Pei Yue shook his head and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he raised his head and said to Ye Qi: "I want to prepare for the wedding as soon as possible."
Ye Qi was a little bit dumbfounded by his out-of-the-box thoughts, but after seeing his clear eyes, she understood that he must have some clues, so she nodded gently and said, "It's all up to you."
…
Yongrenfang, Shenfu.
It was already noon when Shen Danmo returned home. He first went back to his residence to change clothes and wash his hands. Then, surrounded by a group of maids and women, he came to the side hall in the front yard, where several people were already sitting.
Not only the father and daughter lived in this huge mansion, there was also a family of four of Silent Cloud's brothers.
Shen Daoyun was an honest and conscientious scholar. He was once listed on the imperial list and had a compilation official position in the Hanlin Academy. However, as Silent Cloud rose through the ranks and became Zuo Lingchen of Taishitai Pavilion, Shen Daoyun He took the initiative to resign and return to the government, willing to bury his head in the pile of old papers.
Shen Daoyun and his wife are gentle in temperament. They have a son and a daughter who are slightly younger than Shen Danmo. The two families get along very harmoniously.
After Shen Danmo entered the side hall, he first saluted Shen Moyun and Shen Daoyun and his wife, and then greeted his cousins.
Silent Cloud said warmly: "Since Mo'er is back, let's start the banquet."
This is a very ordinary family dinner, which has happened countless times in the past. In the eyes of outsiders, the Shen Mansion is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but in fact it is just an extremely ordinary and extremely warm family in this world. Silent Cloud never puts on airs at home, and during the dinner The rules were not strict, and the juniors talked in low voices. He and Shen Daoyun often chatted about the Classics and History.
Silent Cloud glanced at his daughter, who had a normal expression, and turned to Shen Daoyun and said: "A few days ago, I asked Your Majesty for permission to go back to my hometown in Yuzhou. After all, next April will be my father's eightieth birthday. At that time, my father I did not observe mourning for three years when he passed away, so I have to go back to my hometown to pay respects and visit his grave this time."
Shen Daoyun put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "Your Majesty will not allow my brother to leave the capital, right? The city has not been peaceful recently."
Silent Cloud sighed softly: "Your Majesty also said so, and finally asked you to return to your hometown. The holy will cannot be violated. You just go back with your siblings and their children. When you get to my father's tomb, you will do everything for me." Filial piety.”
Shen Daoyun nodded and said: "Brother, there is no need to feel sad. Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. I wonder when we will leave?"
Silent Cloud muttered: "The road is far away, especially the mountain roads in Yuzhou are difficult to travel, so we'd better prepare as soon as possible."
Shen Daoyun said: "Okay, I will let the servants in the mansion make arrangements immediately. How about leaving in three days?"
Silent Cloud said: "There is nothing wrong with me. By the way, Mo'er will follow you back this time."
After he brought up this topic, the table became quiet. Shen Danmo suddenly looked up at his father, with a hint of worry in his bright eyes.
Shen Daoyun realized that something was slightly wrong in the atmosphere, but he didn't think much about it and agreed with a calm face.
After the family banquet, Silent Cloud came to the outer study. After sitting down, he looked at Shen Danmo who was following him step by step. He smiled and said, "Have you made everything clear to Pei Yue?"
Shen Danmo didn't answer, but said stubbornly: "Dad, what happened?"
Silent Cloud said calmly: "Pei Yue's power has been established. His Majesty will never tolerate concessions, at least he will not witness the emergence of a powerful minister who cannot check and balance. In the next one or two years, the city will inevitably be in trouble. How can a father stay out of this situation when he is in this position? Mo'er, you are a smart boy. My father doesn't want to hide it from you, but he can't hide it from you. He asked your uncle to take you back home because there will definitely be danger in the future, so you can avoid it temporarily. The best policy is to avoid it.”
Shen Danmo bit her lower lip gently and asked after a moment: "Why did Your Majesty allow Daddy's petition?"
Silent Cloud shook his head and chuckled: "After all, you are just a girl. Could it be that Your Majesty is worried that you can do earth-shattering things? Furthermore, as long as your father is still in Kyoto, Your Majesty will rest assured. Those people are already under your control. Among them, I will also protect you when I return home. Don't worry, my father is just worried about the safety of you and your uncle's family. This does not mean that your father will have troubles that cannot be solved."
What he said was reasonable and reasonable, so Shen Danmo didn't insist anymore. After saying a few words, he stood up and left.
The study fell into silence.
Silent cloud was silent for a long time, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, with dense words written on it.
He read the words on the paper again, then put it into the brazier and burned it cleanly.
"It's been four years... thirteen years since Renxuan... Wende, if I don't avenge you, how can I have the dignity to be your father?"
He murmured in a low voice, and although his tone was soft, there was a fierce murderous aura filling the room.
Shocking.
