Pei Yan's tone of speech was decisive, and the arrangement was very reasonable, no one could find fault with it.
Everyone acted according to his words.
Only Gu Xi walked a distance behind Pei Tong, and suddenly remembered that her elder brother is also in Pei's house now, should she go say hello
But the thought flashed through her mind and passed away.
She went to say hello to her elder brother at this time, what could she say? It's better to keep an eye on Pei Tong, don't be led into the ditch again by Mr. Yang.
She quickened her pace and caught up with Pei Tong and Mr. Yang.
Grandpa Yang was there sighing with emotion: "Who knew that your father is Mrs. Pei... I have heard people say that your grandfather is not simple. If it is not because of the ancestral system, he would not be able to live in Lin'an and become an ordinary country gentleman." But this is exactly what your father is not willing to do. Obviously he can leave his name in history, but because he is the eldest son, he has to guard the family business at home. I don't know if you understand this feeling, but your father is not Wanting to harm the Pei family doesn't mean disobeying your grandfather, he just thinks that your grandfather is still young and still in charge, and he can spend a few more years outside. It doesn't mean to violate the ancestors of the Pei family or your grandfather's wishes. "
Pei Tong didn't make a sound, as if he was persuaded by Mr. Yang
Gu Xi snorted coldly in her heart, at this moment she hated Pei Tong's uncle very much.
She had no choice but to remind Pei Tong: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'parents are here, don't travel far away'. We can understand the father-in-law's mood. It's like the third prince, but he was born a few years later than the second prince. No matter how talented he is, Most of the important court officials are still on the side of the second prince. Of course, this is not fair to the third prince. But who can say that this is not a good thing? Otherwise, from the beginning of the royal family, there will be no distinction between the son and the concubine, regardless of the elder and the younger, with love On the other hand, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? Wouldn’t the backyard of the inner house be bloody? The eldest uncle is also the eldest grandson of the legitimate son, and also a person who reads sage books, so he must have a longer-term view than this woman.”
Her voice was soft and her expression was gentle, but the words she said were thorny. She not only criticized Pei You's actions, but also criticized the position of the elder of the Yang family. The dignity of the elders, don't argue, it seems that Gu Xi is right, he acquiesced in his mistakes.
Mr. Yang had no choice but to "hum" in dissatisfaction, hoping that Pei Tong would come forward to reprimand the niece and daughter-in-law, and could not help but look at Pei Tong.
Pei Tong heard their conversation, but his expression was in a daze.
His father, because he is in a similar situation as the third prince, he feels sorry for him, and wants to help the third prince, right
In his impression, his father is not a person who has no benevolence, righteousness and morality, and does not care about his clan for the sake of power.
He didn't believe that his father joined the third prince for the sake of glory and wealth.
Seeing Pei Tong like this, Mr. Yang was very dissatisfied, he couldn't help raising his voice a little, and said: "A Tong, no matter what, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say anything, you have to make up your mind, what should you do?" Is that good?"
Pei Tong stopped in his tracks, looked at Mr. Yang and said nothing. But that demeanor told Mr. Yang, "Isn't this your business?".
Master Yang became angry because of it, and for the first time doubted whether it was right for him to ask his nephew as a helper.
Gu Xi thought of Pei Tong at this moment.
This matter was provoked by the Yang family, so it is natural for their family to take care of the aftermath.
As long as Pei Tong doesn't listen to his uncle, this matter will be easy to handle.
She believed that Pei Xuan and Pei Yan didn't really want to drive Pei Tong out.
Because no matter what people outside said, it was a fact that the clan was divided, and it was a fact that Pei Yan became the suzerain of the Pei family. Rumors and gossips would not let Pei Tong go, nor would they let go of Pei Yan.
This also has an impact on the reputation of the Pei family.
I believe that no one in the Pei family would like to see such a thing happen.
Gu Xi hurriedly changed the topic: "Uncle, let's talk about what's going on later! Let's have dinner first. It happened suddenly, and the matter was so important that we weren't mentally prepared at all, so we had to make a decision right away. It's hard for us. We still need to listen to what uncle said."
The elders of the Yang family don't have any good ideas to have the best of both worlds.
Although he has a letter from Pei You in his hand, there is no way for this letter to be exposed, otherwise the collusion between Pei You and the third prince will not be exposed, and their family intends to use the third prince to obtain the six ministers will also be exposed. Originally, whoever wants to be an official does not want to become big, it is normal for their family to come up with a six servants, but if it is colluding with the third prince, then the nature is different.
Not to mention that the third prince will be accused of colluding with courtiers, the Yang family may also be accused of "forming a party for personal gain".
These two things are the most taboo things for the holy majesty today.
If you are suspected by the Holy One, you will peel off your skin if you don't die.
What he didn't expect was that Pei Yan didn't play cards according to common sense at all. Not only was he not afraid, but he also acted as if he had exposed this matter and everyone was ashamed.
The problem is, even if this matter is exposed, with the ability of the Pei family, a rotten boat and three catties of nails may not necessarily destroy the family, but the Yang family will definitely not be able to withstand such a storm.
It is clear at a glance which is difficult and which is easy.
Grandpa Yang was so angry that he had a headache.
On the side of Pei Yan and Pei Xuan, Gu Chang couldn't help asking curiously: "What happened? You called me here in a hurry? Could it be my brother-in-law or my sister who caused something?"
Pei Xuan didn't know what to say.
Pei Yan didn't have so many scruples, but he was not ready to speak out, but poured a glass of wine for Gu Chang himself, and said: "If there is no accident, why did I call you here. But this matter is not big, it is small It's not small—Pei Tong wants to divide the clan..."
"What?!" Before he could say anything, Gu Chang jumped up and said with wide-eyed eyes, "Isn't this a big deal?! Why do you want to split the clan? I don't agree with splitting the clan?"
No matter what conflicts arise, they can be resolved within the family. The commotion is about to be divided into sects, do you have any perspective on the big picture
Gu Chang was extremely dissatisfied with Pei Tong at this moment.
Pei Yan smiled and said: "The matter has not been fully settled. I came to you because I wanted you to be a witness. It goes without saying that if there is no consent from your uncle, others will think that we are bullying him. Regardless of the sect , I want to ask you to be a witness—let’s talk, let’s live a good life in the future, don’t always make troubles in the house, brothers are not in harmony, it’s not a good thing. Our Pei family can’t stand such a toss.” Advise him, "Drink, drink. I asked Pei Tong to call me back after dinner, but I just want to trouble you to wait a little longer. This matter is not resolved in a hurry. There will be troubles in the future, and our family can't afford it." It’s better to settle the trouble once and for all.”
Gu Chang couldn't sit still, but he was pressed down by Pei Yan, and said: "I know you are anxious, and I am also anxious. But there are some things that we can't make up for Pei Tong. Even if we persuade him this time, he will What do you think? Are you staring at him every day when you are free or am I staring at him every day when you are free? Let’s let go and listen to them this time. But you don’t have to worry, since your sister has entered our house, As long as she is willing, I am still willing to treat her as a junior."
But if Pei Tong really fell out with the Pei family, how could the Pei family really regard Gu Xi as the daughter-in-law of the Pei family
But he is not good at asking.
Pei Tong's falling out with Pei Yan and Pei Xuan at this time is probably related to the Yang family's threat to the Pei family.
No matter what kind of cards the Yang family is holding, in Gu Chang's view, Pei Tong should not separate from the Pei family.
This Mr. Yang is really harmful!
Gu Chang thought, and began to list the people he knew silently in his heart. Is there anyone in Lingnan who can cover the sky with one hand? Kill the chicken, and the monkey will be touched no matter what.
Since the Yang family can't recognize people clearly, let him teach the Yang family how to behave.
It also let Pei Tong see clearly how powerful the Yang family really is. A person as smart as Pei Tong must know which side to choose.
Gu Chang made up his mind and relaxed his heartstrings.
He smiled and said, "Okay! I will listen to you today. I can do whatever you want me to do."
But he was wondering how he could find a way to meet Gu Xi in advance and persuade Pei Tong not to be influenced by the Yang family.
The three drank happily.
On the way back, the second wife sent all the maids and women around her away from them, and whispered to Yu Tang: "You said, the old man is so old, is it true? Why do I feel so creepy. I think the old man is not such a person, but the third uncle will not lie!"
Even thinking about it now, Yu Tang finds it inconceivable.
Is there such a cruel father
Poisoned his son with his own hands.
What is even more incredible is that he is more ruthless to himself.
Life for life, suicide.
When the old man poisoned Pei You, only Pei Yan was nearby, so he must have been the first to know. She, an outsider, felt flustered after being shocked, not to mention Pei Yan, one was his father and the other was his brother.
And Pei Lao'an.
I don't know if her old man knows about this
And with what kind of mood did she send away her son and Qin Se and Ming's husband.
Yu Tang felt that if it was her, he would die of heartache just thinking about it. He would rather die in front of Mrs. Pei than see father and son killing each other.
She didn't answer the second wife's words, she just thought about Pei Lao'an.
I don't know if I can hide from Lao An for the rest of my life
Sometimes, not knowing is a blessing!
Yu Tang sighed.
The second wife thought that she didn't know how to evaluate, and whispered: "Tell me, what will the eldest son choose in the end? The elder of the Yang family won't tell the story of today, right? If we really tell, our family will His reputation is gone, won't it affect our family's Adan's marriage?"
The more she talked, the more she felt it was possible, the more she thought about it, the more flustered she became, and she held Yu Tang's hand tightly, saying: "No, I can't let this matter get out. I have to go to the second master and let him think of a way. No matter what, we must suppress this matter.”
yes!
If this matter gets out, not only Pei Dan's marriage will be affected, but Pei Bo's and Pei Chan's official careers will also be affected.
Seeing that she was flustered, Yu Tang was afraid that she would do something wrong in her haste, so she grabbed her and said in a low voice, "Don't worry! You should have more confidence in the third master and the second master, they won't If you allow the Yang family to act recklessly like this, you won't let the eldest young master act recklessly."
