Mr. Pei Youxiang patted the back of her hand and said, "You are still weak. Please take a good rest. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it later. I have been busy with work recently and have no time to take care of these chores. If anything happens, you can go directly to the boss."
Mother will discuss it and it will be settled."
Aunt Wang is not really stupid. Right Prime Minister Pei pushed her to Mrs. Pei again. Doesn't it show that he will not get involved in Pei Ninghe's affairs?
He is really cruel, for the benefit of the family, he allowed his own daughter to be imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion!
Aunt Wang gritted her teeth, naturally she couldn't bear it, but she would not be stupid enough to give in to something that had no room for change.
Then he said: "Master, I have no intention of interceding for He'er. He'er made a mistake and deserves to be punished. Master, you were fined your salary because you are being watched closely. You must not do it because of it."
Because of He'er's matter, someone grabbed the pigtail."
Youxiang Pei didn't expect that Aunt Wang would say such considerate words, and he couldn't help but feel a little more guilty. He sat by the bed and put his arm around her shoulders.
He sighed and said softly: "For the sake of the Pei family, I can only temporarily wrong you, mother and daughter. Don't worry, when He'er comes out of Jingzhao Mansion, Ben Xiang will take care of everything and won't let her reputation suffer.
It has such a huge influence that many of the daughters of my Pei family will come to ask for marriage."
Youxiang Pei's words were said lightly, but now the news has spread all over the imperial capital. Pei Ninghe hired people to cause trouble but failed, and was even arrested and imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion.
If a girl is locked up in a place like that, when she comes out, will those high-ranking dignitaries still take a fancy to her?
Even if I get married in the future, I can only marry those crooked melons and cracked dates!
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang secretly gritted her teeth and said with a pitiful face: "My Lord is devoted to me and He'er, and I understand your Lord's painstaking efforts.
But when I dreamed about it at midnight, I thought that everything our Pei family has suffered now was all thanks to Yan Mingzhu’s little hooves. I regretted it so much. If Pingchang Bo hadn’t come with a civet cat to replace the prince,
Our Pei family will not marry such a poisonous woman.
Now, Ran'er was poisoned by her and is still lying on the bed. He'er is still imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion, and his reputation has been ruined. However, the culprit is wandering around outside safely.
I can’t take this tone!”
Mentioning Yan Mingzhu, a ruthless look flashed across Prime Minister Pei's face, "I actually underestimated this woman's ability, but she was just a concubine. She was kicked out of the Pei family and made a lot of noise.
Everyone in the city knows that there is no other family in the imperial capital that would want her."
"That being said, I heard that after she was kicked out of the Pei family, she did not return to the Earl's Palace of Pingchang. My lord, you said that she is a shabby shoe that no one wants, and even her parents' family refused to take her in. What about these things?
Where does she live?"
Prime Minister Pei You's eyebrows jumped, and Aunt Wang added: "The servants in the mansion have seen Yan Mingzhu wandering near the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, and when she appeared in the Princess Anyang Mansion before, she used the name Yongyi to the outside world.
Yihou Mansion calls itself,
My lord, please tell me, is that little bitch hiding in the Hou Mansion?"
Not to mention, it is really possible. It seems that this woman really has nowhere to go. Now the Yongyi Marquis Mansion is involved in the crime of collaborating with the enemy. Once he is convicted, he will be exiled at the least, and the whole family will be executed at the worst.
Prime Minister Pei Yousheng sneered coldly, "If she is really hiding in Yongyihou's Mansion, then she is asking for her own death. When Yongyihou's Mansion is convicted, her direct granddaughter will not be able to run away, but it will save the blind date.
It’s automatic!”
"But what if we still can't be convicted? My lord, are we, the Pei family, going to have to swallow this? My lord, you are the right prime minister of the country, but you are ridden by such an abandoned woman, and everyone in the imperial capital is watching.
Made us laugh,
If we don't give her some clues, will she really think that our Pei family is a soft persimmon and let her manipulate it?"
Being reminded like this, Prime Minister Pei suddenly remembered that seven days had passed since the bodies of Marquis Yongyi and others were brought back to the imperial capital.
After the first seven days, the Yuan family will definitely bury Yongyihou and their coffins in the Yuan family's ancestral grave.
At that time, the Yuan family, young and old, would definitely want to leave the Hou Mansion, but Emperor Zhao issued an explicit order that the Yuan family members were not allowed to take a step outside the Hou Mansion until the truth was found out.
As long as Yan Mingzhu dares to lead the Yuan family tomorrow, this will be an excellent opportunity for revenge!
Thinking of this, Pei Youxiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Ran'er and He'er's grievances will not be in vain. I am a member of the Pei family who can be bullied by others if they want. The truth will make her pay a heavy price."
The price!”
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Yongyihou Mansion was already busy.
Everyone in the mansion has changed into plain clothes.
Mrs. Yuan Da looked at the sky outside and was still very worried, "Zhuzhu, the Forbidden Army is guarding the place outside. Are you really sure that the right guard of the Forbidden Army is not on duty today?"
"Relax, aunt. I have found out a few days ago that Shi Zhen is entering the palace today to report on his duties. He will not come back until at least the morning session is over.
The deputy guard responsible for guarding has been bribed by me, and he will give us an hour. As long as we can bury my grandfather and the others in their ancestral graves within an hour, and then return to the Hou Mansion, we will be fine."
In order to bribe this deputy guard, Yan Mingzhu spent a lot of money. These forbidden soldiers are really more greedy than the last.
But with the current situation of the Yuan family, we can only bow our heads temporarily. The most important thing is to let Marquis Yongyi and others go to their graves first. As for these money-grubbing Imperial Guards, we can settle the accounts slowly in the future.
After appeasing Mrs. Yuan, Yan Mingzhu turned and walked into the mourning hall.
The senator's wife leaned on a cane and stood beside the coffin in the center, stroking the coffin with a sad expression.
"Master Hou, everyone says that on the first seven days, the soul will find its way home. Have you come back to see us?"
Just as he finished speaking, the candle in front of the altar was suddenly blown from side to side by the wind.
The senator's wife suddenly raised her head, "Master Marquis, are you back?"
But the only answer she received was the gentle breeze blowing past her ears.
Mrs. Yuan slowly closed her eyes, with tears sliding down her cheeks, "I understand, don't worry, I will protect this family. As long as my old bones are around, the Yuan family will never fall. There are no unwarranted charges."
, my Yuan family will never admit it!"
Yan Mingzhu waited quietly for the elder's wife to finish speaking, then stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed three times, her voice was clear and settled: "Grandpa, eldest uncle, second uncle, eldest cousin, you have a good journey, my granddaughter will definitely
I won’t let your heroic soul be humiliated, and I will definitely restore the Yuan family’s innocence!”
When the senator's wife opened her eyes again, her eyes had become firm and unyielding, "Lift the coffin!"
In order not to attract attention, I could only carry the coffin out through the back door.
The deputy guards of the imperial army took advantage of it, so they evacuated the people at the back door early in the morning, so that the Yuan family could go out unimpeded.
But as soon as the coffin was lifted out of the threshold, a voice sounded: "This early in the morning, what is the senator's wife leading the whole family to do? Is it... that she wants to escape with her family?"
