Delicate Flower Chapter 234: Last words

Pei Yan waved his hand towards Yu Tang who looked unconcerned and said, "I still have things to do, so you can go in! Remember to go there early tomorrow. I won't let Miss Gu show up. Yes, but you have to be careful yourself, I see that Miss Gu has a lot on her mind."

He can also encourage Gu Chang to come to him and see if he can defeat Gu Chang.

It was the first time in his life that he had to deal with their family's affairs!

After saying that, he walked away gracefully, and Yu Tang couldn't even thank him in time.

But this is really good news.

Yu Tang stood there happily, unable to suppress the raised corners of his mouth for a long time.

She returned to the house happily.

The mothers-in-law of the Wei family and the Wu family were about to say goodbye to Mrs. Chen. Seeing Yu Tang’s happiness that she couldn’t hide, she said a few polite words to the mothers-in-law of the two families and served tea. .

The mothers-in-law of the two families respectfully gave blessing gifts to Chen and Yutang, and then stepped back cautiously. But as soon as he stepped back, he couldn't help but whisper: "Miss Yu is getting more and more beautiful as she grows."

"Isn't it? In the past, it just made people shine when they saw it, but now it makes people want to look at it again and again."

"This special person is also very magnanimous in dealing with things! Just now, the tone of his speech was refreshing, decent and considerate. I have rarely seen him in such a long life."

"Why else would Pei Lao'an like to recruit her into the house as a companion? I don't know who will be lucky enough to be their son-in-law in the future?"

The two chattered away, but Mrs. Chen took her daughter into the inner room, sat down on the bed, and whispered: "Why did the Third Master ask you to go?"

She was afraid that her daughter would offend the Pei family.

After all, she agreed to pretending to be sick.

Yu Tang hurriedly patted his mother's hand comfortingly, and quietly told Chen about the Li family. However, considering Chen's ability to accept, Yu Tang hid Pei Yan's plans for the Li family and only said He found out about the Li family's crime.

Ms. Chen listened to tears falling down, and said sternly: "Yes! Their family should have such retribution." After saying that, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and then said, " This is a great joy! When I see Mrs. Wei tomorrow, I have to have a good talk with her, and I will go and offer some sticks of incense to the Bodhisattva."

Although the Li family deserves their punishment, Ms. Chen is not the kind of person who likes to talk behind people's backs. When the Li family commits a crime, people will naturally publicize it everywhere, so there is no need for her to talk about it. She just needs to have some fun with Mrs. Wei.

She asked Yu Tang: "Will a family like theirs have to confiscate a large amount of money? Can their newly bought house in Hangzhou still be kept?"

If the Li family returned to Lin'an City, she would definitely tell those who were friendly with her to ignore the Li family.

Yu Tang said: "It depends on how the court decides in the end. However, you also know that no matter how rich a person gets into a lawsuit, he or she may lose everything, let alone a major case like the Li family? Even if they can keep Hangzhou The houses in the city are so big, and it costs a lot of money to maintain such a big house."

If Li Duan wanted to continue the imperial examination, the cost would be even greater. Even if the Li family still has some old foundation, it will most likely be emptied out.

As Yu Tang thought about it, he felt more and more that Pei Yan was a really good person.

This is indeed much better than her previous thought of killing Li Duan or preventing Li Duan from taking the imperial examination.

It's like hanging a piece of meat in front of a wolf dog, but it will always be able to see it and cannot eat it, and it will have to rack its brains to think of ways to get this piece of meat.

She couldn't help but said: "Thanks to the third master for this matter. If he hadn't sent people to check the Li family, the things Li Yi did had not come to light so early, and the Li family would not have been detained. Mother, Huahu It’s hard to paint the skin, and you don’t know the heart of a person. Although the third master is doing harm to the people, there is no guarantee that some people will criticize the third master for being insidious and framed fellow villagers for their own selfish interests. You know this, I know it, my father As long as you know, others must not reveal even half of it, lest the third master does good things and cause trouble to the third master."

Ms. Chen nodded repeatedly and promised: "I won't tell even Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu. I just said that the Li family committed the crime. I heard it from the Pei family, so I just told them."

Yu Tang nodded.

Mrs. Chen sighed: "The third master is such a good person! He is also good to our family! When you meet him in the future, you must be more respectful, and you must be sincerely filial to Mr. Pei Lao'an."

Yu Tang curled his lips secretly.

With Pei Yan’s character, even a clay figure can be made angry to life. Every time she was with him, she would control her temper and ask him to be nice and respectful, and that was also superficial respect. But you can be more filial and respectful to Lao An. She is open-minded and generous to others. Even if she doesn't have a relationship like Pei Yan, she will treat Lao An well.

But of course she wouldn't say anything in front of Mr. Chen, she would just say "yes" with a smile.

The two of them packed up their belongings for tomorrow's lecture meeting and went to rest.

On Gu Xi's side, the atmosphere was solemn.

She said: "Brother, I don't believe that Mr. Pei has ever left such a last word. Although Mr. Pei and I have only met twice, Mr. Pei respects his father very much in his words and deeds. And his respect for his mother is also because his father valued his mother very much during his lifetime. I don't believe that Prince Pei is a treacherous person. I think there is some misunderstanding in this?"

Veins appeared on Gu Chang's forehead and he jumped angrily: "Could Pei Xiaguang still lie to me? Your marriage to the Pei family was arranged too hastily."

Gu Xi's face turned blue and red.

There was something she didn't tell Gu Chang.

When Mrs. Pei came to test her tone, she had actually found out that she was not the best candidate in Mrs. Pei's mind. Mrs. Pei was most satisfied with her mother's niece, but because of Mr. Pei's After falling in love with his cousin, he regarded the other cousins ​​in the Yang family as his sisters, and he suddenly couldn't accept it when he suddenly became the one to marry.

But for her, the eldest son of the Pei family is the best marriage candidate she can get.

She doesn't want to give up.

That’s why the marriage was decided so quickly.

But it's too late to say anything now.

She couldn't cancel the engagement twice in a short period of time, especially when one of them was the Pei family.

The Pei family cannot afford to lose face, and the Gu family will not agree to her breaking off the engagement as easily as last time.

There is another important reason why she can insist on her opinion in front of Gu Chang - she believes in her eyes and feelings. Mrs. Pei must have selfish motives, which she could see at the time. But Mr. Pei couldn't be the person her brother said. With Mr. Pei's background, character, and appearance, he could definitely find someone better than her. He didn't have to lie to her about this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi suddenly became more confident.

She said in a deep voice: "Brother, this matter is just as mother-in-law is right, and father-in-law is right as father. I think it is better to call Mr. Pei over and discuss with him what to do about this matter. Let's talk about it. Go, this matter is his own business. We are just helping each other. In the end, he still has to make his own decision. Brother, I would like to take this opportunity to see what kind of person he is. I am looking for a husband, but I don’t expect him to be able to do it. No matter how much I help my brother, I can't hold him back."

The implication is that if Mr. Pei is really that unbearable, she wants to break off the engagement.

At this moment, Gu Chang regretted that his brother and sister should not have been involved in the grievances of the Pei family. It's just that the Pei family is a piece of fat. After knowing the details of their family, it's hard not to salivate.

"Then meet the eldest son of the Pei family." Gu Chang said solemnly, "If he is no longer useful, let's think about what to do!"

It is impossible to cancel the engagement. We can only see if we can use the Pei family and Pei Yan to control Pei You's house.

The brother and sister looked at each other tacitly.

Gu Chang sent someone with his post to invite Mr. Pei over.

Pei Tong, his younger brother Pei Fei, his second uncle Pei Xuan, and his cousin Pei Hong lived together in the Zen Yuan in the west, very close to where Gu Xi lived. In just two quarters of an hour, he came over.

He has just turned eighteen this year. His facial features resemble those of Zhang and Pei Yan. He is still in his youth, and looks like a thin and erect green bamboo. There is already a bit of character in his youthfulness.

It can be seen that he is a child who has been carefully cultivated and taught by his family.

Gu Chang nodded secretly. He originally wanted to have a good chat with Pei Tong, but when he thought of Pei Yan who was still waiting in the meeting hall, he got straight to the point. After asking Pei Tong to sit down, he told Pei everything about his visit to Pei Yan. Tong.

Pei Tong's eyes widened in shock. As soon as Gu Chang finished speaking, he jumped up and said loudly: "Impossible! My mother respects my father the most. If my father has such last words, she will It’s impossible to go against my father’s last words.”

Gu Chang's heart sank and he said, "Are you saying that Pei Xiaguang is lying?!"

Pei Tong did have such suspicions, but the warmth and coldness after his father's death made him know that if he challenged the majesty of his elders, it would only make people suspect that he had ulterior motives.

He immediately said: "No, I am not doubting my third uncle. ~IndoMTL.com~ but..." At this point, he suddenly stopped, showing hesitation.

Gu Chang frowned and said, "Did you think of something?"

Pei Tong's eyes dimmed and he whispered: "When my father passed away, neither my brother nor I was with my father... neither was my mother... it was my grandfather who was by my father's side..." He looked up at Gu Chang, His eyes were firm and resolute, "But I dare to swear that my grandfather never told me that my father had such last words before he died of illness. I only know that before my grandfather died, he called his two cousins, Yi Gong and Wang Gong, and said We want to make Third Uncle the head of the clan. So no matter what people outside say, our family will always recognize Third Uncle as the head of the family. I just wonder, if my father left such last words, why didn't my grandfather tell me? Third My uncle has never mentioned it before? My mother and father have always treated each other with respect. My mother has been depressed since my father's death. My maternal uncle and aunt are very worried about her. My brother and I are both boys, so there are inevitably some careless things in our words and actions. , my mother lived like a year. She always wanted to wait for my father to return to his parents' home to live for a while, but she didn't want to be separated from our brothers. That's why she wanted me to study at my grandfather's place.

I wanted to take care of my mother, so I had no objection.

My father’s last words suddenly came out, and I, I don’t know what to do? ”
