Pei Yan answered with confidence, which surprised everyone present.
Pei Tong was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Then you admit it?"
When Pei Xuan heard this, he became anxious, and reprimanded Pei Tong, "Is this your IQ? Your third uncle admitted that he was beaten, so he would be sorry for your father? If you talk like this again, don't confront us! What do you want?" Just think about it? Anyway, if you want to pretend to be asleep, none of us can wake you up!"
"Second uncle!" Pei Tong opened his eyes wide and looked at Pei Xuan, with a look of "You actually defend the third uncle", then his eyes gradually dimmed, and he said, "The third uncle and you are the same mother after all." , when the critical moment comes, you will still defend the third uncle."
These are some terrible ideas!
Not to mention the second wife, even Gu Xi wanted to roll her eyes at him when she saw it.
Fortunately, Pei Xuan has always been mild-tempered, and he treats the children and juniors in the family with even more love and care. Even if Pei Tong is like this, he still said patiently: "You only believe what you hear and see, and you will be kind to your third uncle first." How can you listen to what he said? If you really want to "justify" your father's name, don't you listen to both sides, and then make a decision based on your own knowledge? Not someone else's The voice is high, and whoever says what you want is more in line with your mind, and you think whoever is right. Do you think what I said makes sense? "
Pei Tong didn't speak for a while, but when he spoke, he slapped the table with a slap, and said with a sneer, "Okay, I'm wrong about this matter. Since you have said so, Second Uncle, if I keep making louder voices, On the contrary, it seems that I am naive and ridiculous. But why should I stand on my uncle's side? That is because my uncle has a letter written by my father in his hand. In the letter, my father said to my uncle that because of Not only the third uncle was dissatisfied with supporting the establishment of the third prince as the crown prince, but also the grandfather was dissatisfied. He wrote letters repeatedly to reprimand my father. My father said that my grandfather was stubborn, and nine cows would not be able to pull back what he believed. On this matter , grandfather will definitely stand on the side of third uncle. Even if he tried his best to persuade him, grandfather would not listen to him. Dad was also worried that grandfather would come to the capital in person and use filial piety to force him to return to his hometown in Lin'an. In case things really come to an end At that step, he couldn’t give up all his previous efforts, so he made an appointment with my uncle that night—they planned to visit the third prince that night, entrusted my uncle to the third prince, and tried to find a way to make my uncle a servant of the sixth department... not to mention My dad has always been in good health, and he doesn't even have a headache on weekdays."
He said, sarcastically: "Isn't the Pei family always proud of following the old rituals? My father learned riding and archery since he was a child, so how could he suddenly become ill for no reason?"
Therefore, a few words from Mr. Yang made Pei Tong suspicious!
Pei Xuan frowned suddenly, and couldn't help looking at Pei Yan.
Everyone also looked towards Pei Yan.
Yu Tang quickly squeezed Pei Yan's hand, silently supporting him silently.
This time, Pei Yan did not quietly pinch her back, but put her hand on his lap, holding Yu Tang's hand openly, looking at his brother Pei Xuan, and said calmly: "Two Brother, I know you also have a lot of confusion about the death of big brother, why don't you let everyone talk about it this time? After listening to what Pei Tong said, do you have anything to say to me?"
Pei Xuan, who was still as calm as before, was listening, but suddenly his face turned pale. He watched Pei Yan's mouth twitch several times, but he didn't say a word.
Pei Yan sighed.
Pei Tong laughed "haha", wiped the water from the corners of his eyes while laughing, and said to Pei Xuan sarcastically: "Second Uncle, it can be seen that you, like me, have been completely concealed by Third Uncle Why do you come to uphold this justice? This justice probably belongs to Third Uncle, and has nothing to do with you or me!"
"Shut up!" The kind Pei Xuan showed veins for the first time, and growled sharply at Pei Tong, "Your third uncle, there is nothing wrong! If there is a mistake, it is also your father's fault, your grandfather's fault!"
"Ah!" Yu Tang stared wide-eyed.
The second wife tugged at the corner of Pei Xuan's clothes in horror, and called out "Second Master" worriedly.
Pei Xuan's face was livid and he didn't speak.
Gu Xi looked left and right, his eyes rolled quickly, and finally settled on Yu Tang and Pei Yan's tightly clasped hands.
Pei Yan smiled, closed her red eyes, then opened them to look at Pei Xuan, and said, "Brother, so you know it all along! I thought..."
His voice was a little sad, but also with a little imperceptible happiness, which made Yu Tang's heart tighten when he heard it.
Pei Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "I know you don't want me to know, and I also want to pretend not to know. But at this time, if I pretend not to know, I'm afraid I won't be able to die well. It's useless for you and Dad to keep telling me. Think of me as a clean sage..."
"Brother!" Pei Yan interrupted Pei Xuan eagerly.
However, Pei Xuan waved his hand towards Pei Yan, his expression suddenly became exhausted, and he said in a deep voice: "I know, I know everything. But I can't let you bear the blame alone. When Dad was alive, he told me more than once. We have said that when brothers are united, their benefits cut through gold. My elder brother doesn’t believe it, he trusts the members of the Yang family more. I can’t control it, but I can control myself, listen to my father’s words, be a good brother, and be a good brother Uncle."
"Brother!" Pei Yan called Pei Xuan again, and the corners of his eyes began to turn red again.
Pei Xuanze smiled helplessly, and patted Pei Yan's shoulder.
"What are you talking about?" Pei Tong looked at his two uncles anxiously, and said sharply, "What do you mean? What do you all know? What do you all know?" He said, standing Got up, walked in front of Pei Xuan, lowered his head as if pleading, and asked Pei Xuan in a hissing voice: "Second uncle, I, can I still trust you?"
Pei Xuan stared fixedly at Pei Tong, but didn't speak.
Pei Tong panicked all of a sudden.
"Sit down first!" Pei Yan suddenly said to Pei Tong indifferently, "Let me tell you! It will also prevent you from thinking wildly."
Pei Tong stared at Pei Yan and stood there without moving.
Pei Yan didn't force him anymore, but said: "Brother and I do have political disagreements, and not many people know about it in this capital. Why? Because supporting the third prince to succeed him was originally a matter of opportunism." Having said that, he glanced at Pei Tong.
Pei Tong blushed.
Since ancient times, he has established a heir and established the eldest son, and supported the third prince. It is true that he has acted improperly, and no one will shout it out.
Pei Yan looked at it, and seemed satisfied that he still had a sense of shame. His expression softened a lot. He was about to continue talking, but was stopped by Pei Xuan.
He was depressed, and said: "Xia Guang, let me tell you! I have always pretended to be deaf and dumb. This time, you let me straighten my back and be a brother and an uncle once again!"
Pei Yan didn't speak any more.
Pei Xuan thought for a moment, and then said: "A Tong, your father did not die of a sudden illness."
Pei Tong's expression turned serious.
Pei Xuandao: "Your father was killed by your grandfather."
"Impossible!" Pei Tong was stunned and retorted loudly, "My grandfather..."
Although I have rarely seen him since I was a child, it makes people feel very kind and close.
"No, it's impossible!" Pei Tong murmured, looking at the people in the room as if asking for help.
Pei Yan seemed to have no way to face it, with lowered eyelids, Yu Tang, it was only about Pei Yan's emotions, although she was shocked, she was more worried, so she simply got up and stood up, putting her arms around Pei Yan's shoulders and not saying anything, She also gently caressed Pei Yan's arm. Gu Xi looked at him, but her face was full of hesitation, she didn't know what to do, she was even more at a loss than him.
The coldness quickly spread from the fingertips to the tip of the heart.
In this world, who else can treat him wholeheartedly? Who can support him wholeheartedly
Pei Tong looked around in a daze, feeling as if he had gone to the wrong place, not knowing where the way out was, nor where he came from.
"It's true!" Pei Xuan's expression was painful, but he still insisted, "Your father supported the third prince, not only transferred 200,000 taels of silver from the family as the eldest son, but also used the flying pigeons at home to pay the third prince The whereabouts of the second prince were revealed, so that the second prince was assassinated. Your grandfather did not approve of him being an official in the court. He had always hoped that he could abide by the ancestral system and return to his hometown to keep his business. Not only did your father not listen, but he even intensified and got involved If you are not careful, the Pei family will fall into disaster. Your grandfather came to the capital quietly. Your third uncle rushed to meet your father before your grandfather, and persuaded your father to turn around. But you My father didn't listen, and even had a quarrel with your third uncle. Then, your grandfather came to your house, and then your father died suddenly. As for why your grandfather beat your third uncle, I don't know. But I know, Your father died of poison after drinking a cup of tea passed by your grandfather.
"Your grandfather felt sorry for your father and couldn't relieve the pain of killing his son, so he went on a hunger strike and committed suicide."
Pei Xuan choked up and said, "That's why your grandfather left soon after your father passed away."
Yu Tang didn't know where to put his hands.
Is it because of this that Pei Yan can't see those colorful flowers that bloom under the summer sun
Yu Tang hugged Pei Yan even tighter.
Watching helplessly as his father killed his elder brother and then committed suicide, but he was helpless, how painful would it be for Pei Yan, who respected and loved his father so much
"Xia Guang!" She couldn't help whispering in his ear.
Thinking of the scene where Pei Yan lived like a shadow in Lin'an in her previous life.
How lonely and lonely was he in that life
And who will comfort him in the long night
She also thought of the rumors in Lin'an City about Pei Yan snatching the suzerain Pei You.
Why? !
Yu Tang wished he could put the person in front of him in his palm, protect him well, put him away properly, so as not to frighten him and save him from wind and rain.
"It's not your fault!" She was eccentric and protective, "It's obviously the master's fault. If he wasn't greedy for fame and fortune, and unwilling to be the eldest son of the Pei family honestly, how could he have caused these things later on? Isn’t the old man brilliant and well-educated? But did the old man clamor to go out to be an official? Want to leave his name in history? He didn’t follow the rules, he caused the trouble, and he asked you and the old man to clean up the mess for him. You There is no need to feel sad for such a brother!"
