Pei Yu clenched her trembling hands and took a deep breath. She was probably so angry that her whole brain was about to explode. At that moment, Pei Yu completely forgot that she was here to ask for help. She almost couldn't help but Jing Nainai raised his hand and slapped Gu Chengxuan on the face. He was extremely embarrassed and yelled while crying. His words were despicable and he had no intention of respecting Gu Chengxuan.
After Pei Yu finished scolding him, she pushed him away fiercely. When she stood up unsteadily from the ground, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her own clothes, and was caught off guard and fell to her knees, letting out a cry of pain.
My knees and legs hurt.
Gu Chengxuan frowned and looked at her lightly, with no intention of reaching out to help her. Seeing her struggling to get up several times in pain, he watched for a while and found it a bit funny. He couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but slightly curled his lips and asked: "Do you know what your name is?"
Pei Yu knew without asking that what he was about to say must be another ugly thing to humiliate her, so she didn't give him a chance to say anything further. She clenched her fists, and the ninja raised her head in pain and glared at him loudly. : "Don't worry about it, you old bastard!"
Gu Chengxuan said calmly: "Okay, remember to close the door for uncle when you go out soon."
Even though she was almost crying with grievance, he still talked to her in such a joking tone.
When Pei Yu heard the word "uncle", her fingertips trembled slightly. She couldn't tell that Gu Chengxuan was mocking her both inside and outside his words. She gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Pei Yu could only endure the humiliation, climbed up from the ground, and staggered toward the door in the dim light.
When she closed the door, she slammed it hard.
Gu Chengxuan, who was standing in front of the bed, heard a heavy slam of the door and smiled faintly.
…
Pei Yu's knees and legs were probably really injured. I don't know whether they were injured by the bump in the old bastard's room or by kneeling. On the way back, Pei Yu felt that his legs were in great pain, and he couldn't even walk. He was limping as if he had a broken leg.
But despite this, when she returned to her residence, Pei Yu still endured the pain and tried to pretend that nothing was wrong.
She even thought that her mother had fallen asleep. She just had to be careful and go back to her room. When she got up early tomorrow morning, she could comfort her mother and not reveal to her that her brother was sentenced to death. , lest mother find out and faint from discomfort.
However, what Pei Yu never expected was that when she went back, she saw from the yard that the lamp in her mother's room was still on...
Pei Yu was stunned for a moment, and walked over. She originally wanted to knock on the door, but when she saw that the door was not closed, she pushed lightly and the door opened.
After entering, Pei Yu saw her mother sitting alone at the table, staring blankly ahead, completely unaware of her return.
As soon as Pei Yu saw her mother like this, no matter how stupid she was, she understood what was going on.
Pei Yu lowered his head and sniffed, then raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to make himself look calmer before walking in.
She took the lamp that was placed on the couch and put it on the table. She went into the back room and brought a blanket and put it on her mother. She frowned and said, "Where did Huang'er go? Why isn't he here?" Waiting by your side."
Mrs. Pei heard the sound and seemed to have just come back to her senses. She looked up at Pei Yu, grabbed Pei Yu's hand a little uneasily, and murmured: "I let her go... Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" Why is it so hot?"
Pei Yu smiled helplessly: "It's okay, it's just a little wind."
She slowly knelt down, put her hands on Mrs. Pei's legs, and looked up at her mother, her eyes still very childish, but vaguely mixed with suppressed panic.
However, Mrs. Pei was surprisingly calm. She reached out and combed Pei Yu's hair, and said with a kind smile: "We Yu'er have grown so big. It turns out that the Mo family came to visit our home. Your father and I both I think the young master of the Mo family is quite nice, but you don’t like it..."
As Mrs. Pei spoke, she coughed again.
Pei Yu's nose turned red, she grabbed Mrs. Pei's hand, and said stubbornly: "Mom, I won't let you have random thoughts! I'm not in a hurry to get married, I want to wait for my father and brother to come home, and I want my father to personally choose a good husband for me. , I will no longer be willful!"
Mrs. Pei smiled helplessly, "Silly boy, don't coax mother. Mother knows it. Huang'er told me before she left..."
Pei Yu was about to cry: "How could she tell her mother this!"
"Otherwise, who would tell mother..." Mrs. Pei murmured, lowered her head again, slowly closed her eyes, as if thinking about something, and after a while she said: "Yu'er, what did you say? Will it be cold and bitter in Seoul... Your father has never had a hard time in his life. In his early years, he went to Beiling for a tour, and was accidentally stabbed by a thief on the way. When he came back, he complained to me about the pain. One year later, he will go to Seoul... Well, it doesn't matter, my mother can still accompany him and endure hardships with him."
Mrs. Pei seemed to be talking to herself again. After talking for a long time, she suddenly stopped.
As if she suddenly remembered something, her tears fell suddenly and she murmured: "But your father is with me, what should Chi'er do... Mother doesn't know where he has to go..."
"Stop talking, mother, please stop talking..." Pei Yu hugged her mother tightly and choked with tears, "Things must be better, and it will definitely not be like this..."
Pei Yu spoke very loudly. She was afraid that her mother would not believe it, and she was even more afraid that she would not believe it herself.
Because after tonight, she was afraid that she would completely offend King Cheng.
She regretted it again.
She knew that she had never known how high the world was since she was a child, and she had never been able to bear any grievance, let alone being so humiliated by Gu Chengxuan in front of her. How could she endure it...
But... now that she saw her mother so heartbroken, she felt that it would be fine if she could endure it just a little longer... and beg him again...
The next day, after Pei Yu coaxed her mother to drink the medicine, she went back to her room and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. Finally, she picked up the comb and dressed herself up. She changed into a thinner and more beautiful dress. The whole person looks more delicate and attractive.
Pei Yu got on the carriage and went to Dali Temple.
When she passed by, the corridor of the cabinet of the Minister of Dali Temple was full of officials coming and going, and it looked quite busy.
After Pei Yu spoke to her subordinates outside, they looked at her and obviously recognized her identity. Due to the dignity of the Dali Temple Minister, they still nodded and said to go in first and report to her.
