When the sun went down, Pei Yanzhou finally stepped on the moon and returned.
In the study room, there is a complete set of facial expressions sent by the third room, which he had sent a message to before.
The lights were swaying, and every object on the tray was dazzling, shiny and smooth, charming and romantic. Just by being placed there, there was a layer of mysterious beauty that was breathtaking.
It is indeed not a common thing and is worth the price of ten thousand gold.
Pei Yanzhou looked at those things and said nothing for a long time.
Last time at the queen's place, he saw the woman's head covered with jewelry and a pair of emerald green earrings. He suddenly thought of the clean Song Jinyin.
Song Jinyin is good-looking, fair and delicate, and when she wears these things, she has her own taste.
But now, when Pei Yanzhou thought of those things, darkness surged in his eyes.
The whole day, the anger he felt seemed to be mocking his lack of control.
A person who was supposed to sink into the darkness with him actually tried to open up the darkness buried under the decay bit by bit.
But Song Jinyin was just a maid. He stayed by his side to remind her of the hatred she had felt and the despicable people in the Duke's mansion.
But now, Pei Yanzhou didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that he had crossed the line.
He was the only one who crossed the line.
Song Jinyin, who made him unable to control his emotions, didn't take it to heart at all.
Reluctance and confusion entangled him, and in turn was suppressed by him.
"Throw these things into the warehouse and don't have to take them out again."
For a long time, Pei Yanzhou's silent voice sounded, without any warmth.
Maybe he was talking about more than just this set of tricks, but no one dared to dig into it, nor did they dare to mention it.
Then it was late at night.
In the middle of the night, a strong wind suddenly came up, which shook the house and made a lot of noise.
Song Jinyin was awakened by the terrifying whimpering sound and looked at the empty bed beside her.
I heard that the man personally invited the imperial doctor to go to the Xu family and stayed with her for half a day. I thought that the girl from the Xu family should be fine.
Song Jinyin wrapped the mattress tightly around her body. Her knees seemed to be pricked by needles, and the small blisters on the back of her hands were a little painful. She reached out and touched the burned area lightly, and the corners of her eyes felt moist at some point.
The sound of the wind outside sounded like a man-eating beast.
In fact, she was not completely indifferent when she wasn't wearing armor. She was extremely afraid of such a situation.
...
In Ye Mansion, Ye Wanqiu has been crying because of the fright. The maids who were serving were slapped for no reason, and piles of smashed porcelain items were sent out in the yard.
Ye Hanlin, the eldest son of the Ye family, sat outside with a cold face and knocked over the tea cup that had just been served.
"Father, what happened today is either the Pei family or the Xu family. If you provoke Qiu'er like this, you are clearly slapping our Ye family in the face! Father must not let it go, otherwise those people will really think that our Ye family is afraid of them!"
"Could the fact that the eldest son of the Pei family came to the palace today to ask for an imperial doctor has something to do with Qiu'er?"
The master of the Ye family had a straight face and a calm voice with a hint of ruthlessness.
When Ye Hanlin saw this, he knew he couldn't hide it from his father, so he immediately lifted his robe and knelt down.
"It was my son who gave Qiu'er the idea. Pei Yanzhou already holds the power and is in charge of the Kyoto Forbidden Army. If he gets close to the Xu family again, how can his son compete with him in the future? What's more, Qiu'er has shown good intentions many times, but he did it for A servant girl touched Qiu'er's face several times, how can one swallow this breath!"
"You can't swallow this, so you started to tamper with him at the Pei family's banquet? Pei Yanzhou has pulled so many people off their horses, have you ever seen him reveal his tricks?"
Mr. Ye did not become angry, but his repeated accusations made everyone in the room breathless.
"What's more, a mere maidservant is worthy of being talked about by you? A casual lift is enough to make her fall to her death, and yet I, the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, have lost my sense of proportion like this!"
"This time it was my son's negligence. My son thought that he would not care about the commotion of a concubine leaving the master's courtyard, and this commotion was at a banquet between women."
"You know, the heir apparent of the Pei family only pays attention to the rumors in the court, but he doesn't know that he has long understood that the front and back are all of the same origin, and a single move affects the whole body. But you, you fall behind him everywhere but don't look for the root cause. , I just want to rack my brains on such a trivial matter that can’t wait to be brought to the table!”
Ye Hanlin's heart sank, and his face felt like a slap in the face, burning with pain.
At first, he just thought that Pei Yanzhou didn't bother to care about the affairs of the back house. After he succeeded, he paid more attention to it, but he couldn't find the Ye family's fault.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yanzhou never regarded such things as trivial matters. Perhaps in his eyes, he had never relaxed about anything that might be related to him.
"Father, calm down, my son realizes his mistake!"
Ye Hanlin gritted his teeth and lowered his head. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he did not dare not to admit his mistake.
Inside the room was Ye Wanqiu, who was losing his temper. When he heard the sounds outside, the noise was quiet after all.
"Go and have a good talk with your sister. If she can listen, I will ask for a favor for her in a while and let her enter the palace to gain some good reputation from the Queen. If she still She is stubborn, so after the New Year, I will ask a nanny to come back for her and take good care of her!"
"Father, is it possible that he wants to suppress today's incident? But today's incident can obviously be brought to the top, and the Pei and Xu families will be charged with heavy crimes. If this matter was done by Pei Yanzhou, people can take a good look at it. When I saw his viciousness, my son didn't understand, why should he endure it?"
Ye Hanlin thought of the angry look of his sister inside. He originally thought that no matter what, his father would not let his beloved sister suffer any injustice.
But now it seems that this is to let her calm down and stop causing trouble.
"Idiot! If you sue the higher authorities, are you suing him or you two brothers and sisters?"
Mr. Ye picked up the thing next to him and smashed it hard, and his suppressed anger finally burst out.
"If Pei Yanzhou didn't do this, maybe it was just the old man from the Xu family who made a fuss to vent his anger. If Pei Yanzhou really did it so blatantly, I don't know how much evidence he has in his hands about my Ye family. You Now I’m still thinking about confronting him head-on, but my brain is missing!”
Seeing his father's anger, Ye Hanlin felt cold in his heart.
Although he was transferred to His Majesty not long ago, he has received a lot of praise and attention. He thought he could compare with Pei Yanzhou, but he didn't expect that even his own father looked down on him.
"My Ye family's official career will never stop at being a minister. Although there is an intention to win over the prince at the moment, you must remember that before the phase is determined, no one from any lineage can board the ship, and people who should not be provoked are definitely not allowed. provoke!"
"My son understands!"
After coming back to his senses, Ye Hanlin hid the evil look in his eyes and quickly woke up.
When his father takes the position of left prime minister, Pei Yanzhou will still be in the Xu family. I am afraid that even the Duke of Zhongshu Lingguo, who has been decentralized, will have to bow his head politely when he sees the Ye family.
At that time, the Ye family will really be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
"My son must persuade Qiu'er well and prevent her from doing wrong things again."
"Your mother has spoiled you! This matter has made her have a long memory. She will hold on to a humble maidservant. No matter she wins or loses, she will embarrass our Ye family! And that girl from the Xu family, Qiu If you really want to marry Pei Yanzhou, you should use your brains to get along with others!"
"My son understands that if the matter between my sister and Pei Yanzhou can be accomplished, it will save us a lot of effort. But since my father is not able to take action now, what should I do with the young master of the Chen family who is guarding the carriage today?"
"Concubine Rong's nephew..."
Mr. Ye frowned impatiently, "If he wants to cling to you, just give him a few words of praise, but he is just the legitimate son of the Minister of Guanglu Temple and cannot make any waves."
After Mr. Ye left, Ye Wanqiu's movement became louder again. When he saw the hands of the maid who came to hand over the handkerchief were trembling, he instantly became angry and beat her mercilessly.
"Girl, spare your life, I will never dare to do this again!"
"Get lost! Get all the useless things out here and kneel outside for me!"
Ye Wanqiu was already very spoiled, but now she saw her father just looking for her eldest brother in the outer room and leaving after saying a few words. He didn't take her today's incident to heart at all, and she was even more angry.
"Late autumn!"
Ye Hanlin heard the movement, stopped his thoughts, opened the curtain and entered the house.
The ground was a mess, and the face of the maid who retreated was red and swollen.
"You probably heard some of what father said."
"Brother!"
"If you still want to marry Pei Yanzhou, and if you want to be a noble girl that others don't dare to touch, you should be more restrained these days."
"But that bitch is plotting against me today..."
Ye Wanqiu stared, feeling so angry that it was difficult to breathe.
"In the future, when my father takes the position of left prime minister, no one will dare to stop you even if you break into Pei's house to arrest someone. But right now, you have to redeem your reputation. These days of banquets and outings, Don’t make any more mistakes.”
Ye Hanlin talked for a while before leaving. Although Ye Wanqiu listened to a lot, he still didn't want to agree to it all.
Being tricked by a cheap slave girl was the most humiliating thing in her life. She couldn't swallow it unless Song Jinyin was sent to the brothel to taste the disgusting torture!
The cold wind blew in the middle of the night, and Ye Wanqiu finally calmed down after losing his temper.
It's just that she didn't see the maid she took out all night long. She thought that she must have been captured by someone and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
After quieting down, Ye Wanqiu became more and more frightened as she thought about it. Her hatred for Song Jinyin was gradually overshadowed by the bloody scene that she had finally forgotten. The broken arm that hit her made her gag again.
The lights that were turned off were turned on again, and the people who had been punished to kneel in the courtyard had to stand up, endure the pain on their bodies, and began to serve this extremely arrogant and indulgent daughter of the Ye family.
