Honeysuckle said this with gnashing teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Dieyi knew that Rendong was most concerned about the young lady, so she tried to comfort her, "She won't be able to survive for a few days. She might not be able to figure it out and die with her mother."
Hearing this, Honeysuckle's face turned cold.
"will not."
Ok?
Dieyi raised her eyes, "Sister said Jin Fuyun would not commit suicide?"
"Correct."
Honeysuckle sneered, "She is reluctant to die, and now that her mother died for her, she will be even less willing to do so. This woman is ruthless and cruel. After this setback, she will definitely take revenge double the amount in the future. If the mansion does not make the decision for the young lady, we must be more careful."
Dieyi thought about it and realized that this was the truth.
"But seeing how the master and the prince have been coming and going these past few days, I'm afraid they won't give up without permission."
Pei Chen went inside and outside for a few days, and came back to tell Pei Jian the general situation. After Pei Jian had an idea in mind, he wrote a memorial overnight. The next morning, before dawn, he sent someone to Shaohua Garden to call Pei An over.
Pei An had just washed up and was ready to go on duty.
Hearing Lin Chuan calling him hurriedly, he put down his porridge and dishes, got up and followed him, "Father, didn't sleep all night?"
Linchuan nodded.
"The prince also stayed up half the night."
"Why?"
Lin Chuan shook his head, "I don't know either, but when the cock crowed, the master sent me to invite you over, so it must be something important."
After hearing this, Pei An didn't ask any more questions.
I walked quickly to Zhengxian Pavilion. The dawn was still immersed in the night. The cold wind rustled the shadows of the trees. Only the study in Zhengxian Pavilion was lit with candles, which seemed like a bright light in the dark night.
Pei An's heart sank.
Entering the courtyard, Pei Hai in the study heard the noise and opened the door to greet him, "Is the Fourth Young Master going to work?"
Pei An smiled and replied, "I'm having dinner and will be leaving soon."
Pei Hai opened the door, and Pei An entered and greeted Pei Jian, who was sitting on the couch. Pei Jian was taking a nap at the moment, and when he heard the noise, he did not open his eyes first, but just said to Pei Hai, "Da Hai, show the memorial to An Ge'er."
"Yes, sir."
Pei An walked up to him and asked, "Did father stay up all night again?"
"Well, you take a look first, and let your father take a rest for a while."
Pei Hai had already taken the memorial from the old master's desk, the ink of which had not yet dried, and handed it to Pei An with both hands, "Fourth Master, take a look first."
When Pei An took it, Linchuan had already quietly brought the candle over.
He read the memorial of several hundred words word by word in a short while, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.
Pei Hai squatted down and fiddled with the charcoal brazier that was about to go out.
After a few breaths, Pei Jian slowly opened his eyes, "An'er, how is it?" Seeing that he was about to get up, Pei Hai went to him and supported his back. He only let go after he was firmly seated.
Pei An nodded.
"Father, isn't this a bit too harsh?"
It almost completely exposed the Jin family's image. They had never been so ferocious in the past when fighting for power, but now even the affairs of He family's eldest son were written down.
"If you always keep silent, people will think that there is no one in the mansion."
What's more -
Pei Jian raised his eyes, looking at his most capable son with a pair of deep eyes that were old but full of vicissitudes.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you can't hold it back anymore."
If the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion does not seize the opportunity, it will be impossible for it to regain the favor of the emperor and enjoy the emperor's favor again by relying on Pei An who is in the Ministry of Personnel.
At least, under the emperor of this dynasty, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion can only move down the valley as usual.
Pei Jian endured many things, not for the final destruction of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. He looked at his grandchildren, who had been dormant for many years, and he must have long-term plans.
Pei An's face became even more serious when he heard this.
"I will certainly listen to my father. To be honest, I have tolerated the Jin family for a long time this year. Jin Meng neglected to discipline his daughter and helped the tyrant to do evil. Although Guanzhou has been saved from danger many times, he always did nothing and let it go. The Jin family also thinks that my Pei family is easy to bully."
Pei Jian heard this and looked at his still young son, feeling relieved.
"My son used to be calm and steady. Over time, I even forgot that you are only in your twenties. It is rare to be calm and steady at this age, but you cannot be restrained. Yesterday, your second brother and I decided that today, father and son, as the Duke and the Crown Prince, will enter the palace to meet His Majesty."
Pei An couldn't hide his emotion when he saw this, "If not, I would go to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for leave and be with my father and brother."
"Need not!"
Pei Jian raised his hand to stop Pei An's plan.
"You are a member of the imperial court and hold a position. You should focus on official duties. I am an old man who can still move around in the mansion, not to mention that your second brother is the head of the family."
When Pei An heard this, he became even more excited.
"Father, it's me who didn't see Jin Fuyun's vicious approach and calculations before, and even treated him as a close friend. Now I'm afraid of letting a wolf into the house."
Ai!
Pei Jian motioned him to sit down. "You can't think like that. Human nature is very complicated. The little girl of the Jin family is too obsessed. She secretly helped, causing the eldest son of the He family to die of a serious illness. Now, she has seen you get married and have a rift with Guanzhou. She has also bribed Guanzhou's maid early on and instigated the young and ignorant Guanzhou to do a lot of stupid things because of her deep love for you and without your response."
Having said that, he paused slightly.
Pei Hai quickly served hot tea, "Master, have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."
After using the water, he continued, "She has been cautious in every step. Previously, it seemed that she only wanted to separate you and your wife, but now it seems that it is not that simple."
Such a vicious mind, and used repeatedly.
Last time he caused Xu Lingqiao to lose her innocence, and now he is using the same trick again to ruin Song Guanzhou's reputation.
It can be said that he is more poisonous than a snake, and his death is not a pity.
Pei An lowered his head, feeling mixed emotions.
"Father, I have long suspected Madam Xian's affairs and have done a lot of investigations in secret. Madam Xian is a villain who seduces female relatives, but she has never used such means to treat Guan Zhou before."
Pei Jian snorted, "Whether this matter has anything to do with Jin Fuyun or not, now Madam Xian has disappeared without a trace and there is no evidence, but your mother... is thinking of finding you a new wife."
Maybe, Jin Fuyun knew about it.
The two men promised to marry her for a large sum of money, and Madam Xian had also killed many people. When a lady from the inner house died, with the ability of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they could just hire a coroner, give her some silver, and tell the public that it was a sudden death from a sudden illness.
If you don’t make money when you have the chance, you’re a fool!
Pei An heard what his father said and looked up suddenly, "Mother..., why do you always dislike watching the boat?"
Pei Jian was caught off guard when his youngest son asked this question out of the blue.
He stared at Pei An for a moment, until his jade face was burning hot, and then he smiled, "My son, if you ask your father about this matter, I can only tell you a little bit, which is definitely not comprehensive."
