"If you don't diagnose, you don't diagnose. Why should you be angry?" Xie Yao walked up to him with a smile and looked at her grandfather carefully.
It seems that I haven't had a good rest recently, which has caused me to feel low.
The old general snorted coldly, "Tell me, what's the reason for your sudden return?"
"It's okay, I just miss my grandfather. I'm passing by and coming back to see you." Xie Yao's face was gentle.
She originally planned to tell her about Pei, but her grandfather was in poor health and she was worried that such a huge stimulation would affect his health, so she decided not to tell her.
"You have a conscience." The old general glared, "You don't have to cook today, just play chess with me."
Xie Yao did not dare to hesitate and immediately agreed.
Half an hour later, Xie Yao said goodbye to his grandfather on the pretext of having something to do, and went directly to find Mr. Pei.
In the yard, both Pei and Xie Zhuo were there.
Mrs. Pei was watering the flowers leisurely and was beaming with joy.
"Why is mother so happy so early in the morning?" Xie Zhuo has been in a good mood during this time.
Without the control of her father in the house, and without Xie Wenwu's nitpicking, she lived a very happy life.
"Have you not heard that your father and your brother achieved great successes on the front line one after another, and this time they made great contributions! When they return to the court, the emperor will definitely give them heavy rewards!" When Pei mentioned the rewards, he became a little controlled.
Can't help but be happy.
Xie Zhuo's eyes lit up, "The two generals who have made great contributions are from our general's office. The emperor must not only reward my father and them, but also reward us."
"That's natural." Ms. Pei said with a bit of excitement, "The emperor may even grant me a royal title by then."
"Mother, what about me?" Xie Zhuo was eager to give it a try.
"You're still young and haven't been married yet, so you probably don't have much to gain." Mrs. Pei said, suddenly thinking of something, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, "However, you can ask your father to find a good profession for you when the time comes.
Marriage."
"If you have meritorious service, the emperor may even grant you a marriage!"
"Prince Chen's tuberculosis has been cured, and I want to marry Prince Chen!" Xie Zhuo said boldly, "My father was able to marry Xie Yao into Prince Han's Palace back then, and now he will definitely be able to marry me into Prince Chen's Palace!"
Outside the hospital, Xie Yao happened to hear these words and understood.
No wonder Xie Zhuo only pestered Chu Han once and then stopped. It turned out that he was targeting Chu Ye.
Stepping into the courtyard, there was a cold look between her brows.
When Mrs. Pei saw Xie Yao, she was a little surprised. She put down what she was holding and greeted her with a smile, "Why are you here? I know you are busy, so you don't have to come see me if you don't have time."
The last few times when Xie Yao returned home, she only looked at the old general and left immediately after seeing him. She would not take the initiative to see her at all.
Xie Zhuo secretly glared at Xie Yao angrily, secretly thinking of bad luck.
I was very happy early in the morning, but when I saw Xie Yao, my good mood for the day was gone.
"Xie Zhuo, go back to your own yard." Xie Yao said in a deep voice.
"Xie Yao, this is not your yard, this is my mother's yard!" Xie Zhuo resisted. Thinking that Xie Yao's status in Prince Han's palace was increasing day by day, his voice of resistance was very low.
Mrs. Pei frowned secretly, smiled and wanted to come over to hold Xie Yao, "Did Zhuoer make you angry? I'll talk to her later."
Xie Yao avoided it in disgust, with a cold look in her eyes, "I want to tell you something. If you don't mind being heard by Xie Zhuo, she can stay."
Mrs. Pei was a little unsure of Xie Yao's background.
Before, she noticed Xie Yao's changes and his alienation from her, but she was never as cold as she is now.
After thinking for a moment, she said to Xie Zhuo, "Zhuo'er, please go back first."
Xie Zhuo thought that Mr. Pei was indulging Xie Yao again, so he turned around and left without thinking too much.
"Yao'er, tell me, what's the purpose of finding a mother?" Pei asked with a smile.
Xie Yao's expression was cold and full of disgust, "I didn't expect that you could hide so deeply and even bring your lover to the general's mansion. You are so brave!"
Mrs. Pei's heart skipped a beat and she forced herself to calm down, "Yao'er, what are you talking about? My mother can't understand you!"
"Shut up! You don't deserve to call yourself my stepmother!" Xie Yao stopped her coldly.
Seeing Xie Yao's determined attitude, Mrs. Pei's eyes briefly panicked, "What on earth are you going to say? Did you hear someone's rumor?"
Xie Yao sneered, "Since you are still stubborn, I might as well tell you that the scandal between you and Lu Chengzhe can no longer be hidden! If you still want to lose face, then invite yourself to the court. When father comes back, maybe you will stay
You are a complete corpse!"
Mrs. Pei was shocked and quickly defended herself: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense! I have never done it! Who told you, I want to confront her!"
Xie Yao's expression was as cold as a knife, "King Han told me."
Mrs. Pei was speechless. She was stunned for a moment and then quickly came to her senses. She was about to step forward and grab Xie Yao, "Yao'er, Xie Yao, please spare me! As long as you help me hide this matter, I can do whatever you want! As long as you help me hide this matter, I will do anything you want!"
I can do it. As long as you open your mouth, I will help you with everything from climbing the knife mountain to getting off the frying pan!"
"Take your dirty hands away." Xie Yao frowned and took a step away, with a cold look in her eyes, "Invite yourself to the court, or report to the official!"
"Although I am a stepmother, I am also your mother! How can you be so cruel to me? We are a couple for a hundred days. I have been married to the general for more than ten years. We have a deep love. Aren't you afraid that the general will come back and hold you accountable?"
Pei wanted to threaten Xie Lian.
"You don't deserve to mention father. I'll give you one last chance. Do you want to come down?" Xie Yao asked in a cold voice.
She was already trying her best to control her temper, otherwise she would not have come alone, but would have brought people over to arrest Mr. Pei, and then also arrest Lu Chengzhe. According to the custom here, they would soak the pig cage!
"Yao'er, please go around me this time. I really know that I was wrong! Moreover, if this matter is publicized, the general's office will be disgraced! What's more, your father is still fighting outside. If this matter reaches his ears,
If you are distracted because of this, you will be in trouble!"
"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and there is no distraction!" Mr. Pei saw that being tough didn't work, so he became soft.
Xie Yao stared coldly, "You also know that my father is fighting for his life outside?"
"So, Yao'er, you have to give me a chance! I can definitely change! You believe me! And Zhuo'er... you have to leave me a way out and don't kill them all!" Ms. Pei continued to beg for mercy.
Xie Yao looked at it indifferently, with cold eyes, and stopped talking nonsense to Mr. Pei.
Mrs. Pei looked at Xie Yao's cold eyes and knew that there was no hope of turning around this time. She could only kneel on the ground weakly and burst into tears, "I will write, I will write."
After a while, Xie Yao took Pei's letter of invitation and left.
Before leaving, she found Mo Li.
"Uncle Li, please help me keep an eye on Mrs. Pei and don't let her leave the general's mansion even half a step." Xie Yao ordered.
"Don't worry, Princess Han, we won't let her run away." Li Li nodded and promised.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Li." Xie Yao thanked him and left the general's residence.
She wants to wait for her father to come back.
After all, Mrs. Pei is her father's wife, and she cannot overstep her authority. However, Mrs. Pei is cunning, and with the letter of invitation in hand, she will let her father handle it himself.
