However, just two days after Pei Yu settled down at home, before she could breathe a sigh of relief about the current situation, someone from the Cheng Mansion came over, saying that King Cheng asked her if she had time to go there.
When Pei Yu heard this, she knew that Gu Chengxuan must have missed her. Pei Yu calculated that only two days had passed and Gu Chengxuan already missed her so much that he couldn't help but send someone to find her. He couldn't Just wait a few more days... Pei Yu stood outside the house and listened to the subordinates sent by King Cheng. She was feeling sweetly troubled in her heart when her father's voice suddenly came from behind her -
"What does King Cheng want to do with Yu'er?"
Pei Yu's expression changed slightly, and she turned around and saw Mr. Pei walking over with a frown on his face, and his eyes towards the subordinate became a little more wary and probing.
Pei Yu suddenly understood what her father was thinking. How could she dare to let her father know about her relationship with Gu Chengxuan? So before the subordinate spoke, Lian Buxie explained: "This is what my father is like. Wasn't my brother sentenced before?" Is it serious? Brother Cheng asked me to find some evidence about my family and asked me to hand it over to King Cheng. I went to find King Cheng, but I accidentally left something at his place that day. No, he came looking for me. I went and got it."
Pei Yu was extremely nervous in her heart, but in order to prevent her father from making random guesses, she had no choice but to drag Cheng Bai into the water.
Mr. Pei originally had a tense face and looked at Pei Yu rather suspiciously, but when he heard Pei Yu mention Cheng Bai, he felt a little relieved. In his opinion, Cheng Bai was not just a good person. The official is also the benefactor of their Pei family.
Therefore, Mr. Pei felt relieved and nodded to tell Pei Yu to go back quickly.
However, this time, Pei Yu was feeling uneasy as she sat on the carriage. Usually, when her father was away, she could secretly go to Cheng Mansion to meet Gu Chengxuan without telling her mother, but now... her father is back, what excuse can she find in the future? Go see him...
If her father knew that she approached Gu Chengxuan to save him and his brother, he would definitely be angry to death. She could not make her parents angry anymore.
But... if she never goes to see Gu Chengxuan again, wouldn't Gu Chengxuan be sad to death? He liked himself so much that he would make an exception to reopen his brother's case for her... If she really left him after taking advantage of him, wouldn't that be completely bad
Pei Yu arrived at Cheng Mansion in a complicated mood, and the housekeeper told her that King Cheng was waiting for her in the library.
Pei Yu said "Oh" in a dull voice, raised his fingers and touched the corners of his eyes, trying to calm down, took a deep breath, and carefully opened the door and went in.
It was a bit dark inside the study pavilion. When Pei Yu saw Gu Chengxuan sitting at the desk dealing with government affairs, he considerately took the lamp from the side of the couch and gently placed it next to his desk.
Gu Chengxuan did not raise his head, he still looked down and flipped through the pages, while saying softly: "Here he comes."
Pei Yu nodded lightly and said "hmm".
"Help me sharpen my ink."
"Oh." Pei Yu walked over, lowered her head and helped him grind the ink without saying a word.
It took a while for Gu Chengxuan to realize that something was not right. He finally had time to raise his eyes and glance at the little girl's face. Pei Yu looked young and tender, and her facial features were very conspicuous and beautiful. He suddenly felt sad. It also gives people a rather melancholy aesthetic feeling.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chengxuan looked at Pei Yu, thinking that the little girl must have been quite happy these past two days.
