When Pei Jinting returned to Pei Mansion from the Princess Mansion, he met Duke Chengen first before he went to the backyard to pick up Gu Qingyuan.
"What's the matter, father?" Pei Jinting asked nonchalantly.
He has always had this attitude, and Chengen Gong has become accustomed to it. He didn't care before, but today he is a little unhappy.
"What are you fooling around about today? Is it worth it to fight against the eldest prince and his entire family for an unrelated girl?"
"Irrelevant girl..." Pei Jinting repeated in a long tone, knowing why he was waiting here.
He raised his eyes and said, "Father, she is the daughter-in-law of the Pei family. She is not an unrelated girl."
Duke Cheng'en softened his tone, knowing his temper, and said gently,
"You know what's going on now. The people in the eldest prince's family are eager to take action and want to seize the opportunity to criticize the prince."
"Aren't you going to make a big fuss in Princess Rongyang's mansion and put the blame in their hands?"
"Besides, she wasn't injured at all, so why bother with it?"
Pei Jinting didn't listen to him. He tapped the table with his slender fingers, indicating something.
"What trouble is my father talking about? If I don't shoot that arrow today and save her, will there be no trouble at all?"
His tone was firm and he said silently,
"Not only is there no trouble, but the prince is now able to take advantage of the eldest prince's family, isn't it?"
Duke Chengen's face turned ugly.
"What did you say?"
Pei Jinting said casually,
"The son meant what he said literally. The father knew what he was talking about."
Those palace servants who raised dogs brought back from the Princess's Mansion could do anything with fifty sticks.
Three days before the banquet at Princess Rongyang's mansion, someone found one of the palace attendants who kept dogs and gave her psychedelic drugs.
Let her find time to feed the puppy today.
Give half to the puppy, usually spread on the cherry plate.
That cherry is Gu Qingyuan's favorite thing.
Why?
"Father, you gave me three months, what's the matter? The prince refused to give you three months? Are you thinking of killing two birds with one stone?"
Not only did it cost Gu Qingyuan her life, but it also caused Princess Rongyang, the eldest prince's sister, to be involved in a life-threatening lawsuit.
Duke Chengen's face darkened.
"If you don't know, you would think that the prince is your biological son, and that your son is just picked up from the trash."
"Father, my son advises you not to reach out your hand again, otherwise, you may live on your feet for the rest of your life."
When Duke Cheng'en looked at his son who was taller than him, his eyes twitched.
Sure enough, there is no conspiracy in this world that can never be discovered.
After doing so much, he finally knew.
When Pei Jinting said this sentence, Chengen Gong felt that his majesty as a father in the past twenty years had begun to collapse.
"Stop talking nonsense! I..." Duke Cheng'en wanted to scold him, but paused and his tone dropped, "It is indeed the prince who made a mistake in this matter."
The person who made the harsh words stretched out his sleeves as if nothing had happened and said calmly,
"Please ask father to give some good advice to the prince."
Pei Jinting slowly raised his eyes, and there was blood in his eyes.
Chengen Gong closed his eyes and spoke earnestly,
"What do you know? You have always been fooling around, but now the emperor can still protect you. If the mountain collapses one day, you will not be able to rely on the prince."
Pei Jinting smiled and sighed, and said solemnly,
"Father, the one who is going to be killed is your son's wife. Even though there is no order from the parents, she was carried into the mansion in eight sedans, paid homage to heaven and earth, paid homage to the ancestors, was registered by the government, and approved by the Holy Spirit."
After that, he went straight back to the backyard no matter how angry Duke Chengen was.
Gu Qingyuan happened to finish talking to Chen Zhao and sent her to the door.
Seeing Pei Jinting coming quickly, both of them were a little stunned.
"Sister." Pei Jinting looked at Chen Zhao indifferently and bowed.
Chen Zhao held his forehead,
"Jingheng, you are back."
She grabbed Pei Jinting's clothes, seeming a little uncomfortable.
Pei Jinting pulled away Chen Zhao's hand that grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Why did you come out?"
Pei Jinting saw that Gu Qingyuan's hand was injured, and instead of staying in the room to rest, he walked out and frowned.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the two people in front of her and responded in a low voice,
"Sister came here to stay with me for a long time on my mother's orders. How can I make sense if I don't see her off?"
Pei Jinting nodded, "You'd better go back. I'll see you off, sister."
He watched Gu Qingyuan return to the house, and then turned to look at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao said in a low voice with a faint apology,
"Why are you talking about A-Yuan like that? Sister, I can tell you that you chose this wife yourself, so you must cherish her."
She heard Pei Jinting's tone being a little unhappy, while Gu Qingyuan wanted to defend herself at first, but after being scolded, she didn't dare to speak anymore.
It turns out that Gu Qingyuan just said that she listened to her husband and thought they were very affectionate, but it turned out that it was just a bluff.
Chen Zhao's thoughts were racing, and he only heard Pei Jinting's indifferent words,
"I don't remember that you have a good relationship with Yuanyuan, why did you come here?"
Chen Zhao's pale face was filled with surprise as he explained,
"This...she is your bride, and she will be a family from now on. It's right for me to have a good relationship with her, isn't it?"
"Jingheng, what do you mean? Are you treating her..."
Pei Jinting looked over bluntly, "What is it?"
Chen Zhao covered up his hair by his ears and said hesitantly, half-truthfully,
"Oh. I thought you were dissatisfied with me coming to accompany A-Yuan. Don't you want to see me getting along with her?"
Pei Jinting: "Stay away from her."
Chen Zhao's smile was far-fetched and he was stunned,
"What……"
Pei Jinting knew that she heard clearly, and looked at Chen Zhao with cold, dark eyes,
"Sister, she and you are not the same person. We can't be friends. There is no need to be friends."
"It will be good for both you and her to stay away from her."
Chen Zhao trembled in shock and began to digest what Pei Jinting said to her.
I don't know if it's a reminder or a warning.
Chen Zhao didn't understand why Pei Jinting didn't allow her to be friends with Gu Qingyuan.
The words came out of her mouth, "Jingheng, isn't it because you took the eldest girl of the Gu family into the house because you can't stand the prince's family?"
Could it be that he really treats her...
Pei Jinting did not answer, there was a profound indifference in his eyes.
The momentum at this time made Chen Zhao feel a strong sense of oppression.
Chen Zhao smiled weakly,
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, for fear that I might eat your wife. But today, my aunt asked me to come over and accompany her."
After sending Chen Zhao out of the yard, Pei Jinting did not go back to the house directly, but stood on the porch for a long time.
Gu Qingyuan had heard his footsteps a long time ago. After waiting in the house for a long time, no one came into the house. She frowned and went out with her hands in her hands.
His eyes fell on the man in the courtyard.
After a pause, he said,
"Pei Jinting, what's wrong with you? Why don't you come into the house?"
Is this because you feel unhappy when you see that the person you admire no longer belongs to you?
