"No..." She looked blank for a moment, then turned around suddenly and looked at the Holy Book Emperor above the altar——
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to the Pei family! At the beginning of the founding of Dasheng, we, the Pei family, helped and supported us... The Li family royal family must not forget the kindness of the Pei family!"
Everyone around heard this with their eyebrows pounding.
What is this doing?
——Favor?!
Everyone looked at Ms. Pei, who had an unwavering look on her face, and inevitably felt that she was experiencing a new kind of madness.
"Sister!" The last trace of blood on Pei Xiu's face disappeared. He raised his head and looked at Mr. Pei, and yelled in a mixture of shock and anger: "Sister, can you please stop going crazy!"
After saying this, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to the Holy Emperor again: "My sister's words and deeds are shameless, she speaks unscrupulously, and she repeatedly commits evil deeds without repentance. She is really unbearable... Today I will follow the Pei family rules and will
He is removed from the clan!"
"He is no longer a member of our Pei family, and the Pei family has no reason to protect him. Since he is suspected of deliberately destroying the ceremony, I ask your majesty to have someone verify it and deal with it in accordance with the law!"
"What did you say? Exterminate the clan?" Pei suddenly raised his voice: "You want to exterminate me? Pei Xiu...why do you! How do you have the qualifications to exterminate me!"
Pei Xiu couldn't bear it anymore and looked at her with cold eyes: "Just because my father is no longer here, now I am the successor of the family head!"
This sister of his is really going crazy day by day!
And he is so arrogant that he is stupid!
Mr. Pei is now in such a difficult situation and must not be affected by her anymore!
"No, I don't recognize it..." Mrs. Pei shook her head tremblingly and kept repeating: "I don't recognize it!"
She was born as the eldest daughter of the Pei family, no one can change this, no one can take away her identity!
Pei Xiu ignored her madness and continued to kowtow and beg: "Please forgive the innocent people of the Pei family!"
The Holy Book Emperor lowered his eyes slightly and looked at him, sighing softly.
"I will never forget Pei's contribution." She said slowly: "But this world is not my world, and this court is not Li's court, but belongs to the people of the world - Pei's crime
It is a big mistake that has harmed the people and the country. Even if I intend to forgive, I cannot make a decision based on my words alone."
There was silence everywhere except for the emperor's voice.
"However, the merits of Pei's ancestors are undeniable." Shengzhen Emperor finally said: "How to decide this case, I still need to discuss it with all the ministers in detail... But I can guarantee you that innocent people will not be affected."
Pei Xiu folded his hands, bowed deeply again, and said with a trembling voice: "Yes... thank you for your majesty's grace!"
The Holy Emperor closed his eyes and said, "Please step aside first."
"Yes, the guilty minister Pei Xiu retires." Pei Xiu bowed again, stood up, and left with his wife.
Everyone knew that once they retreated, it would be difficult for the children of the Pei family to appear among the important ministers again in the future.
The one who retreated from their eyes this time would be the entire Xuanhe family Pei.
Rather than sighing and sympathizing, what they should be thinking about right now is perhaps themselves——
The Pei family belongs to an aristocratic family, and the person they support in private is the current prince - the Pei family always respects orthodoxy in their actions.
The prince was not born by the saint, but adopted from the clan. The saint had promised that when the prince grew up and could take care of court affairs, she would "return power" to the Li family.
Now Prince Li Zhi is thirteen years old.
But at this moment, something happened to Pei, who had always supported the prince unswervingly...
This is the first time that this saint, and indeed the entire Great Sheng Dynasty, has attacked the noble clan in public.
This move is undoubtedly meant to set a precedent as a deterrent...
"The Pei family is the pillar of my great success..." Above the altar, the Holy Emperor slowly opened his eyes, with uncertain brightness: "The destruction of today's ceremony is really a warning from God."
After hearing the words, all the ministers had different opinions in their hearts.
An emperor does not say useless words of emotion.
This is to use imperial power and divine power to blame the Pei family's mistakes for causing harm to the country——
There is a profound meaning in choosing to liquidate the Pei family during this blessing ceremony.
From the very beginning when the saint decided to attack the Pei family, he never thought of leaving any leeway.
No one spoke up to intercede for Mr. Pei.
This matter is a foregone conclusion, and the most important thing is to focus on yourself and the future.
All the officials were either in panic or had their own plans, but the eyes of the female relatives were more focused on the Pei family who had just been exterminated.
The Holy Emperor also looked at the woman with a confused expression.
A majestic voice sounded from above the altar: "Ms. Pei, you have repeatedly murdered the girl in the palace of General Chang, caused people to secretly harm the idol, and destroyed the blessing ceremony - Mrs. Pei, can you plead guilty?"
"No...it's not me!" Pei pointed at Yao Yi and others: "It's them, they framed me!"
The Holy Emperor frowned slightly, obviously he didn't have the patience to deal with such a crazy woman.
At this time, the despairing servant girl beside Mr. Pei knelt down, grabbed her sleeves and begged in tears: "Madam, this is the end of the matter...just accept it!"
Governor Cui has already ordered people to investigate. If the Pei family didn't deal with it, how could it withstand careful investigation?
Instead of refusing to admit it, Madam, it is better to show repentance in front of the saint and the Master, so that there is a possibility of being forgiven!
"Get out of here!" Mrs. Pei suddenly shook off the servant girl, with a look of panic finally appearing on her face.
Her eyes changed several times, and she suddenly walked towards Yao Yi and grabbed his arm: "Yao Yi, you can't do this to me... Even if something happens to our Pei family, it is a fact that you need the help of my Pei family. You can't ignore it.
Me! You can’t be sorry to me!”
Yao Yi took one last look at her and withdrew his arm.
He raised his hand and knelt down towards the Holy Book Emperor.
"I have failed to manage my family properly, which caused Pei to make such a mistake. Please punish me!"
"No, you can't..." Mrs. Pei shook her head and tried to rush forward again, but was held back by a crying servant woman from behind.
If Madam continues like this, if she tries to collide with the saint again, then she will really be doomed!
Don't blame her for thinking about protecting the Lord at such a critical moment, her life is really at stake!
There is such a mistress in the stall, her words have been worn out over the years, and now she is risking her life. Who can explain the miserable life of this big injustice!
Thinking of this, Aunt Ye cried sincerely.
"Although Yao Qing doesn't know about this, it is true that he has done something wrong in running the family." Emperor Shengce looked at Yao Yi and said, "I will fine him three years of salary as punishment."
Now is the time for her to employ people, and Yao Yi is a very capable minister——
This time she went beyond Dali Temple and ordered the Criminal Department to examine Pei Min's case, just to avoid Yao Yi's suspicion and prevent him from getting into unnecessary trouble.
She has always been merciful to useful ministers.
Yao Yi kowtowed his head: "I accept the decree, thank you Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shengce looked at Pei: "Pei's evil deeds are obvious, so I will make the decision according to the law and order Yao Qing to be righteous with her."
Yao Yi never raised his head and only responded: "Yes."
Pei's lips trembled and he kept shaking his head, but for some reason it was difficult to make a complete sound in his mouth: "No..."
Her mother's family exterminated her, and her husband's family also had to break up with her...
What else does she have?
An unprecedented fear suddenly overwhelmed her, and Pei desperately tried to catch something.
Her eyes searched frantically, and after meeting a pair of tearful eyes, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yao Ran's shoulders.
At this time, the voice of the Holy Book Emperor sounded again——
"Ms. Pei has committed many evil deeds, including multiple attempts to murder the daughter of Cavalry General Chang Kuo. He is good at injuring idols, framing others, and disrupting prayer ceremonies. His crimes are unpardonable. His wife's title is removed and she is immediately sent to Jingye Temple to have her hair cut off and repent. She will not be able to leave until she dies.
"
Jingye Temple?
This place is specially used to deal with and imprison the female relatives of officials and officials who have made great mistakes... Once inside, they will not be able to survive or die!
"How could I go to a place like that!" Pei shook her head in fear, holding onto Yao Ran's shoulders tightly: "I am your biological mother... You can't just watch me go to a place like that!"
She could no longer think about whether the girl in front of her had the ability to save her. She just wanted to grasp the last straw -
"I am your biological mother, and everything I have done over the years has been for you! How could I have ended up in this situation if it hadn't been for the root cause of my illness due to giving birth to you!"
She stared at Yao Ran, and the words she spoke were like the most vicious curse: "You must try to save me...otherwise you will have a bad conscience for the rest of your life! You must know that if I die, it will be for you."
Harm!"
"Yes, I am an unfilial person." Yao Ran also looked at her steadily and said swornly: "Then I will never marry in this life, and I will be like my mother, so that I can share her mother's suffering and redeem herself.
A mother’s sin!”
After she finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair and moved it to one cheek with a determined expression.
The golden hairpin scratched deeply into the flesh, leaving a long and shocking bloodstain.
Mrs. Pei screamed and pushed her away: "You are crazy!"
"Ran'er!"
"Cousin!"
"Ran Mei!"
Yao Yi stood up quickly, stepped forward to support his daughter, and couldn't help but blushing: "Ran'er! Why are you doing this!"
The girl whose face was covered in blood and was surrounded by everyone, now calmed down.
At this moment, Chang Suining looked at the girl, but felt strange empathy in his heart.
She has also experienced this feeling of wanting to repay the other person's gift of childbirth at all costs.
But looking at it now as a bystander, I can't help but feel it's not worth it, and even a little silly.
But she still has no regrets.
Mrs. Pei, who was crying and laughing again after being stimulated, was quickly dragged off by the chamberlain.
Under the instructions of the Holy Emperor, the ceremony continued.
Soon, palace officials restored the mess to its original state.
Chang Sui Ning was allowed to go back first by the Emperor Shengzhi to let the medical officer treat his injuries.
Yao Ran was also taken back by the Yao family who could not calm down.
"The injuries are mostly superficial injuries, they shouldn't be serious." In the Zen room, the medical officer looked at Chang Suining and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there are no internal injuries."
Otherwise, he was really worried about his own safety - if the Chang family's wife had any good intentions, then the vicious-looking General Chang would most likely have to let him do the same.
Sure enough, after receiving his correct words, Chang Kuo's expression became approachable to the naked eye: "Here comes the medical officer!"
"In addition to some external medicines, I will wait for you to give the lady of your house a prescription to soothe the nerves."
Chang Suining: "Thank you very much, medical officer, but there is no need to prescribe the medicine."
The medical officer looked at her puzzled.
Just listen to the girl say: "I'm not frightened, no need to calm down."
Medical officer: "?"
Isn’t this surprising?!
Good guy...this little lady is afraid she's going to be brave!
"Be good Ningning, let's drink some..." Qiao Yumian advised softly from the side.
From what she heard, Ning Ning's words were a manifestation of "being so frightened that she lost her speech".
Qiao Yubai was also there, but at this time he rarely tried to persuade him - after all, he could see it, and Ning Ning said he was not shocked, which really didn't sound like a lie...
But under Qiao Yumian's worried gaze, Chang Suining still nodded: "Then let's do it."
The medical officer nodded silently.
At least you have to take three doses at a time. What can this dose of medicine do...
Madam Chang's soothing medicine does not soothe her own spirits, but the spirits of others.
What she drank was not medicine, but human kindness.
After the medical officer prescribed the medicine, he heard Chang Sui Ning say, "Can you please give it to me, my brother, please take a look."
"No, no, no!" Chang Sui'an waved his hands quickly: "These are just minor injuries, no need to bother!"
As he spoke, he grinned, showing his big white teeth.
Chang Kuo squinted at him: "Your kid is injured, are you quite happy?"
"Since Ning Ning's trouble, I haven't been able to do much, and I haven't been able to suffer on Ning Ning's behalf." The young man scratched his head and said frankly: "I'm quite happy to be hurt..."
Chang Kuo frowned in disgust: "What's wrong with you!"
Qiao Yubai said suspiciously: "Sui'an, you didn't get hurt on purpose, so that Ning Ning would feel grateful and distressed, right?"
Chang Sui'an's eyes widened: "...Do you think I am you? I have the heart of a villain!"
Qiao Yubai raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you blushing?"
"Qiao Yubai, you asked for a beating, right?" Chang Sui An suddenly showed a look of surprise as he was fisting: "You deliberately wanted to anger me and make me lose my temper in front of Ning Ning! You can't even think of getting beaten and then showing up in front of Ning Ning.
play self pity!"
After listening to this outrageous conversation, the medical officer stood up and left this ridiculous place.
"Ningning..." After the medical officer left, Qiao Yubai lowered his voice and asked, "Is Yao Tingwei...serious?"
"Of course not!" Chang Sui An Jie replied.
Chang Suining also shook his head.
Of course A Li cannot be Yao Tingwei's daughter.
"Then...why didn't Yao Tingwei explain half a word in front of everyone?" Qiao Yubai asked: "Is it possible that Yao Tingwei is really secretly searching and mistakenly believes that Ning Ning is his daughter?"
Chang Sui'an immediately said: "I will go and explain this matter to Mr. Yao later, so that he will not always think about it!"
Chang Sui Ning nodded lightly: "It's time to make it clear..."
But, is Yao Yi really looking for a "daughter"?
I'm afraid not necessarily.
The reason why he didn't explain it before the emperor might be because he had other concerns.
If so, he can be regarded as an old fox.
Before Chang Sui'an went to look for Yao Yi, the Yao family first found this place.
The old lady of the Yao family, Mrs. Zeng, brother and sister Yao Xia, and even Yao Ran also came over.
The old lady of the Yao family first did what she did to Mr. Pei, so she must apologize to Chang Kuo and his daughter.
Mrs. Zeng also looked ashamed.
On weekdays, we only know that the inhuman eldest sister-in-law is causing harm to others at home, but we don’t know that outsiders are also suffering?
wrong……
Not necessarily an outsider.
Mrs. Zeng quietly looked at the girl who could not conceal her shocking expression even though her face was bruised, and she became untimely excited.
If this really belongs to their family...
Wouldn’t that directly increase the beauty value of the whole family!
At this time, Yao Ran's hoarse voice sounded, asking uncertainly: "I wonder...can I have a few words with Madam Chang alone?"
