Chapter 457
Chapter 457
After listening to Lin Shan's report, Pei Jian found a day and called Pei An to Zhengxian Pavilion after he was on duty, and told him about these things.
"Brother An, I'm afraid Guan Zhou hasn't told you about his plan, right?"
Using oneself as bait is so dangerous, if Si'er knew, he would definitely not agree. Pei An listened to his father's simple words, and his handsome features were a little disappointed.
"Father, ... Guan Zhou doesn't believe me."
Pei Jian stood up and paced, walked to the child, and gently patted his shoulder, "It's not that I don't believe it, but Guan Zhou has his own plans."
Of course, his son also had other plans.
Husband and wife are both smart people. It would be strange if they could think of everything together. Pei Jian comforted his son's loneliness with just a few words.
"You have Guan Zhou in your heart. Your father knows this clearly. It is unclear what the Jin family is planning, so let Guan Zhou bear the grievance for the time being."
Pei An nodded.
"I think so too. If I say Fuyun is only doing this for me, then everything is a bit far-fetched. After all... the Duan family and she secretly planned this, which can be said to subvert my speculation."
Duan Liangyuan!
She was suspected of murdering the emperor's eldest grandson, was demoted from Liang Di to Liang Yuan, and lost the ability to raise the emperor's grandson, but she was still able to regain favor...
The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is not a foolish man. It can only be said that the Crown Prince has further investigation into the matter of the Emperor's eldest grandson falling off the rockery.
Pei Jian looked out into the courtyard, seeing the colorful summer flowers and green willows. Xiang Guo'er, left by Aunt Fang, was playing in the yard with her twin daughters combed.
"Brother An, what do you think of He Jiang?"
Pei An nodded, "Don't worry, father. You reminded me before, and I sent someone to check. The Prince of Yong is hiding very well. On the surface, he doesn't fight or compete, and he is just an idle prince, but he actually has other plans. And -"
Pei An hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should say it.
Seeing the questioning look in his father's eyes, Pei An whispered, "He Jiang doesn't like women, he only likes boys, but he does it very secretly, and I only found out about it by accident."
Song Youan came privately and made a deal with Pei An.
His temperament was completely different from the one he had met in the master's farmyard. Song Youan had lost his seductive look, and his humble and pleasing appearance. His elegant aura was gone, and there was only coldness and eagerness.
From this, he learned about He Jiang's little-known hobby.
Pei Jian was well-informed and did not feel surprised. Instead, he asked, "From ancient times to the present, many high-ranking officials have loved male beauty and indulged in gay sex. It is not uncommon."
"Father, please allow me to report. As far as I know, He Jiang has no interest in women. The niece of Mrs. Huang died of depression because of this."
Pei Jian shook his head and laughed.
"Jin Meng has always been strong-willed and stubborn. The eldest girl's marriage was also arranged privately between him and He Jiang. Now the eldest girl probably doesn't know that He Jiang has such a moral character, right?"
Pei An shook his head.
"I don't know."
"So what you mean is, do you want to tell her?" Save this woman from the dire straits, otherwise Jin Fuyun's life would be like this if she married a husband who doesn't like women.
After a long time, Pei Jian saw that his child had an indifferent expression and shook his head slowly.
"Did not say?"
This surprised Pei Jian a little. He knew that his two sons went abroad to study when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. They had come to Liyang and were entertained by Princess Hong'an and Jin Meng, where they stayed for more than three months.
Including the second son of the Qin family, it was at that time that he and Jin Fuyun hit it off at first sight, and their friendship has remained unchanged over the years, but now such a wave has arisen.
"Not only did I not tell anyone, I also tried to cover up for Prince Yong in order to facilitate this marriage. If they don't get married, I won't be able to see the interests between the Jin family and Prince Yong. As for Fuyun, she claims to be smart, but she is ruthless and murdered Guanzhou. This is unforgivable."
Pei An put on a brocade robe, tied his hair with a jade crown, and stood up to report to his father.
His face was calm, with clear features, and his words contained a similar, rare indifference.
"Si'er, is this what you really plan in mind?" Pei Jian's eyes were as cold as the cold stars and the cold moon, and he seriously asked Pei An what he really thought.
Pei An nodded seriously.
"She likes me and knows that I am married and have Guanzhou, so she shouldn't show it. Princess Hong'an is low-key, but she is also a princess of the royal family. She shouldn't be so negligent in her education. But Fuyun is really lawless. She asked Zhu San to kidnap Xu's cousin and sent Yu Cheng to hire someone to kill someone. All of these are murders of innocent people. According to the criminal law of Dalong, she should have been thrown in jail long ago."
"it is good!"
Pei Jian was relieved from the bottom of his heart. "I was worried that you would be entangled by the past relationship and lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Now that I hear you, I am relieved."
We can’t report the case to the authorities because we don’t have solid evidence.
The Jin family is now tied to Prince Yong. The Queen Mother, on behalf of the royal family, has promised this marriage. Even if the government sends the evidence of Zhu San and Yu Cheng's crimes to Jingzhao Yin, the Jin family will make every effort to exonerate Jin Fuyun.
She was a noble lady, so it was unbelievable that she would kill someone.
The Jin family used a little trick to completely shirk all the blame and pushed it onto the dead Zhu San and the fugitive Yu Cheng, which actually alerted the enemy.
"Don't worry, father. I have read the classics and understand some things. I will definitely protect Guanzhou, but what happened to Fuyun, even if we can still sit together and drink tea, I am afraid she will drink her spring tea and I will drink my autumn tea! But the accounts that should be settled must be settled."
"Okay, comfort Guanzhou. Although I am far away from the court now, I can still hear some gossip. The emperor has been suffering from the Jin family's abuse of power for a long time, so... wait for the right time."
"Yes. The child understands."
In the end, Pei Jian told his fourth son the truth, "This marriage will definitely be successful. If she and Prince Yong are in love, it will be a good thing for you and your wife."
Pei An lowered his head and answered yes.
In this secret conversation, the only people who knew about it in the mansion were Pei Jian and his son, and Pei Hai. Even Pei Chen didn't understand the reason.
Because of the incident at Long'en Temple, Pei Jian ordered everyone in the mansion not to go out in the near future.
Pei Chen knew that today was the opening day of Xianrenfang. He had received the invitation early and was supposed to be the guest of honor of Xianrenfang. However, he was disturbed by a few thieves from Longen Temple and could not go out.
Anger had been building up in my chest without me noticing.
But his father asked him and his wife to come forward and instructed them to conduct an investigation in the mansion. Pei Chen felt that his luck was unlucky when he thought about having to face Xiao Yinxiu's serious face every day.
Something happened again. A box fell into the lotus pond...
Pei Chen was getting annoyed. He couldn't get anything out of Xiao Yinxiu. When they arrived at the lotus pond, Pei Hai had already sent people to salvage the box. The box was placed on the shore. Pei Chen followed his father and without waiting for questions, Pei Hai stepped forward and opened the lid.
"master--"
Pei Jian looked over, his expression originally calm, "Why are there so many broken items?"
"My Lord, the porcelain pieces are not resistant to being broken, especially the two small-mouthed, big-bellied vases. However, the gold bricks are intact, as is this small lacquer box."
After saying that, he pointed to Pei Jian.
