Pei Jinting knelt on the ground with her back straight. When she heard Duke Cheng En said that she wanted to kill Gu Qingyuan, she paused for a moment, her eyes deep.
Then he straightened his clothes slowly,
"Father, if you want to kill her, you must not only ask me, but also ask His Majesty."
His eyes fell directly on Duke Chengen's face, and when they looked at each other, Duke Chengen knew the meaning of his words.
Duke Zhen Guo has now been found. He did not surrender to the enemy and treason, and it was also because he solved a major issue for the court.
Your Majesty will not do anything to Gu Qingyuan no matter what.
At most, after the incident spread, Gu Qingyuan could not hold her head high among the aristocratic families.
It's sad to say.
The world is so unfair to men and women.
It's obviously the same thing, but it often has completely different results.
If a woman does something extraordinary, she will definitely be scorned.
You will be stared at on the pillar of shame for the rest of your life.
But if a man does something outrageous, such as Pei Jinting's robbery, the world will just smile and say "coquettish" and pass him by.
Even if a man gives birth to an illegitimate child, it is different from a woman giving birth to an illegitimate child.
As long as the man is willing to recognize the illegitimate child born by a man, the illegitimate child can recognize his ancestor and return to the family line and bear his surname.
From then on, there was a clan identity and a fulcrum to stand on.
And the illegitimate children born by women can only be illegitimate, adulterous, and despised throughout their lives.
Therefore, in the original story, it is rare to find someone who travels thousands of miles to find his mother, but more often he travels thousands of miles to find his father.
As long as the town recognizes Gu Qingyuan as his daughter, even if Gu Qingyuan is an orphan of unknown origin, she still has the identity of the daughter of the town's duke.
Pei Jinting shook his head, raised his eyebrows, and said in his usual tone.
"Father, it's none of the Duke's business. Your Majesty, you might as well go and ask him what he would say if you wanted to kill Gu."
Pei Jinting still doesn't know the origin of that bright yellow piece of clothing.
But he knew that that small piece of clothing was enough for the emperor to pardon Gu Qingyuan.
Otherwise, why would the emperor compromise when she took out the piece of clothing and discussed it with the emperor in a threatening manner, even though she was ready to give up on it?
But Chengen Gong was obviously really angry at this moment.
asked with a stern face,
"Are you determined to defend that woman?"
Pei Jinting narrowed her eyes and said,
"My son's heart is happy with her, and he must be her in this life."
"A good man has his ambitions in all directions and does not need to live in this corner of Kyoto. If Kyoto cannot accommodate her, then I will take her to the frontier."
Pei Jinting restrained his lazy attitude and spoke decisively.
Duke Chengen stood up and paced back and forth. He thought about scolding him several times, but he seemed to have thought of something.
For a moment, I couldn't think of any way to reprimand him.
When he heard Pei Jinting personally say that he was happy with Gu Qingyuan, Chen Zhao beside him was shaken and despaired.
She closed her eyes and spoke boldly,
"Uncle, my cousin was just deceived for a moment. The good third son of the Pei family is now just a dandy doing evil in the eyes of the world."
"He is obviously more capable than many people. Uncle, don't you know that?"
"Are you going to let that woman destroy your cousin?"
She spoke desperately.
As long as she nails Gu Qingyuan's scandal, even if she doesn't have the kindness to save Pei Jinting, the end won't be too bleak.
Chen Zhao bit his lip and decided to make the matter bigger.
"Uncle, aunt, you may not know that I once met that woman in a medical clinic. The doctor there said that she had a difficult child."
She didn't ask anything from the doctor, but it didn't stop her from saying these things.
Chen Zhao knew from the recent exchanges between the Pei family and his son, as well as from the past, that the emperor was very fond of Pei Jinting.
Even if we don't care about Gu Qingyuan's original purpose of entering the Pei family, is it possible to tolerate Pei Jinting's loss of heirs in the future?
The first wife and the legitimate son are the most favored by the aristocratic family.
The first wife is already in such a bad state, how can she still lose her legitimate son?
Before he finished speaking, there was a bang,
The tea cup that had just landed at Pei Jinting's feet grazed the corner of Chen Zhao's eyes and hit the book shelf behind her, making a huge noise.
It instantly fell to pieces.
Chen Zhao was so frightened that he became alert. When he saw Pei Jinting's sinister eyes, his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
Mrs. Cheng'en was also startled. She pointed her finger at Pei Jinting and spoke awkwardly.
"You, you, are Zhaozhao telling the truth?"
The tea cup just now was actually thrown past her.
Pei Jinting had a cold face,
"Sister..." His long tone sounded like a reminder, "I ignored you just now and forgot to confirm with you the grace of saving my life."
He looked gloomy and said, "You are so brave. You are not the savior back then. Why are you pretending?"
"Back then, people in the palace came to the palace to ask for rewards, but you dared to deceive even a saint. Father, what should I do for the crime of deceiving the king?"
Pei Jinting felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the unfinished doll in the hands of Mrs. Chengen.
It turns out that the fate between them is not limited to that handkerchief.
They had met more before.
Thinking of the lonely little figure by the lake, he suddenly felt sad.
Gu Yuanyuan still doesn't know that their affairs have been exposed.
If you know...
Pei Jinting really wanted to see Gu Qingyuan at this moment.
Tell her right away that none of this is her fault.
Must say! Must say immediately!
Can't wait a moment!
She must be told immediately!
He was afraid that she would know all this from other people's mouths, and he was afraid that he would miss it when it was so far away.
Chen Zhao was in tears, her body was shaking with chills, and her love for Pei Jinting had long since turned into deep-seated hatred.
Pei Jinting lied to her.
After he pushed for divorce, he also said that they couldn't be too close, otherwise it wouldn't be good for outsiders to see.
She only thought that Pei Jinting was setting the stage for taking her into the house.
If it weren't for Pei Jinting's paradoxical treatment of her, which made her lose herself, how could she have committed such a stupid thing today.
He had already guessed that she was fake, and in order to make her fall for the trick, he tricked her step by step with his sweet words, until he was accused of "deceiving the emperor."
It can be seen that he not only wants to punish her, but also wants to kill him.
He did it too hard.
His ruthlessness is beyond imagination.
Chen Zhao gritted his teeth at the thought, filled with fear and hatred and had nowhere to vent.
If she could have calmed down a little more, she would not be in this situation now.
Chen Zhao is full of regret and regret.
Pei Jinting seemed to know what Chen Zhao was thinking, and said with a sarcastic smile,
"Don't you like to pretend to be someone else? If not, please ask Your Majesty to reward you with a tattoo of three characters on your forehead."
"Let you always remember that you love to pretend to be others, and you will always be a three-handed thief."
Pei Jinting sneered, not wanting to waste any more words, and walked away.
He just wanted to find Gu Qingyuan and tell her not to be afraid.
Before he could go out, he was scolded by Chengen Gong, and at the same time, a person ran in from outside in a panic.
"Sir, it's not good. Something happened to the young lady."
