"Third brother, it's obvious that Yong'an alone can't figure this out."
Pei Zhi chuckled: "Aren't there people in our yard who haven't been dealt with yet?"
After Jiang Li reminded him like this, he remembered that Yuzhu was still locked up by him.
Pei Zhi observed her expression: "Why, you can't bear to leave?"
Jiang Li didn't expect Third Brother to think so, and hurriedly denied it: "Third Brother, how could I not let her go?"
"It's just that I keep her, and it has another effect."
In her own mind, she was extremely stupid, but some people may not necessarily feel that way.
In the previous life, they had caused such misfortune to themselves. If they had really let them go, my heart would have been unbalanced.
The two were still talking when a long, thin and sharp voice came from outside, "The imperial edict has arrived——"
When the Jiang family heard the news, they all hurriedly came out to receive the order. It was so good, how could there be an imperial edict delivered to their Jiang family.
Jiang Li understood in her heart.
In his previous life, Pei Zhi also had merit in saving His Majesty, and then he walked step by step to His Majesty's side and became His Majesty's close minister.
Then later, he played with power.
It seems that the third brother's death is earlier this time than in the previous life.
Pei Zhi noticed Jiang Li's gaze: "You don't seem to be surprised at all."
"I just guessed it, so I'm not surprised."
Pei Zhi looked at his serious appearance and couldn't help teasing her: "As expected of my Ah Li, follow me and be smart."
"Third brother, stop teasing me."
The eunuch placed the imperial edict in Pei Zhi's hand and said complimentarily: "You are young and promising, and your future is unlimited."
Then he looked at them and said, "Jiang Family Glory is still growing."
Now that I have saved His Majesty's life and gained His Majesty's favor, even if I am just a small following official, it is already very different.
After Jiang Li heard the decree, she was both happy and sad for her third brother.
It's not easy for me to get along with my third brother like this, and my third brother has to accompany me.
What would I do if my third brother met someone who was better at pleasing me than me while driving with him?
The smile wrinkles on Mrs. Jiang's face deepened: "I'm sorry for the trouble, father-in-law."
After saying this, he gave a hint to the person behind him, and the maid behind him came immediately.
He took out a bulging money bag and put it in the hands of the father-in-law who announced the decree.
The father-in-law who announced the decree had a smile on his face, "I am ordered by the emperor, old lady, this is not allowed."
"Since it was given by my grandmother, let me keep it, my father-in-law."
Pei Zhi stood aside with an indifferent expression.
When the father-in-law heard him speak, he was overjoyed and put the money bag in his hands and weighed it.
"That's it, thank you very much." He said a few more compliments before leaving.
Jiang Xue gritted her teeth secretly as she looked at Pei Zhi who was surrounded by everyone.
Pei Zhi accidentally killed His Majesty and became His Majesty's savior. His status will surely rise.
In the past, I looked down on him and made things difficult for him. I never thought that he would be able to turn around one day.
Damn it, Pei Zhi has now transformed into someone beside His Majesty, and is on Jiang Li's side, which is very disadvantageous for him.
Moreover, I also heard that Prince Yong'an's Mansion was suspected of treason. Now except Prince Yong'an who had escaped, everyone else was imprisoned.
I have always been close to Princess Yong'an before, and I just hope that this matter will not drag me down.
Mrs. Jiang also had a bit of joy in her expression at this moment. Although he didn't like this look, no matter what, it was only good for them.
Moreover, Mrs. Jiang was very clear about some things in her heart. Pei Zhi and Ah Li had always been very close.
I had not allowed it before, but my mother was prepared in advance and told me that it was just a play between children and told me not to get involved.
Fortunately, I didn't say anything more at that time and didn't stop them from having a deep relationship.
Now it seems that mother is indeed more transparent in this aspect and can see people more clearly.
Now that Ah Li has such a brother to help her, she will definitely get a lot of benefits from being here, whether it is marriage or other aspects.
Pei Zhi didn't pay much attention to him before, but now it seems that he is also a good person.
Jiang Xi was a little embarrassed standing among a few people. He usually looked down on this so-called third brother the most and never even called out.
When he came back today, everyone congratulated him and said that there was a man in his family who saved His Majesty.
He still thought it was impossible.
A person like Pei Zhi is just eating and drinking in his own home, and then coaxing his little sister, how could he see such a big thing.
Now even when the imperial edict is announced to his own home, he has to accept it even if he is unwilling to accept it.
But he still raised his head high: "Humph, if I had been around at that time, I would have been the one to save His Majesty."
Mrs. Jiang glared at Jiang Xi, what was the use of saying these words at this time.
Pei Zhi seemed not to hear it and didn't argue with him.
Jiang Li stood beside Pei Zhi, but was not as happy as them.
Pei Zhi naturally knew what the little girl was thinking, and he was reluctant to let her go, but he knew very well that if he wanted to protect himself and the people he wanted to protect, he had to make himself strong first.
"Third brother, can you not leave?"
Before Pei Zhi could answer, Mrs. Jiang took over: "Silly girl, it's not like your third brother won't come back."
Jiang Li naturally knew that the third brother would not come back, but the relationship between the two of them would always fade if they were not together.
Moreover, she felt from the bottom of her heart that she couldn't let go of her third brother.
After she was reborn, she stayed with Pei Zhi almost every day.
Pei Zhi looked at the little girl's pitiful look, and felt soft in his heart.
He teased her and said, "Do you want me to resist the decree?"
"Third brother, you know that's not what I meant."
Jiang Li pouted, she just couldn't let go, but the third brother didn't mean to let her go at all. It was too much!
Pei Zhi saw the little girl's appearance. She was a tall young man, but these days, she had grown taller. He squatted down and said, "I will come back to see you when I have a chance."
If his situation stabilizes by then, it might not be a bad idea to take Jiang Li to Luoyang.
Jiang Xue stood aside and said, "Congratulations, third brother."
She was a little embarrassed when she said this. Pei Zhi had lived in their house for almost three years, and this was the first time she called the person in front of her her third brother.
If he hadn't been appreciated by His Majesty, he wouldn't be like this!
Pei Zhi just glanced at her and ignored her. Jiang Xue instantly felt that she was being humiliated, and her color suddenly turned white.
Mrs. Jiang looked at everyone gathered together and said, "Okay, let's all disperse. Go and do whatever you need to do."
"In the evening, let's congratulate Pei Zhi together."
After everyone heard this, they left.
