After Wei Liangyu left the Jiang family, he set off directly for Luoyang.
He rode his horse and looked back, the smile on his lips undiminished.
They'll see each other soon.
——
Hanshuiyuan.
After Yuan Jing was called back to Luoyang, there was one less person around Pei Zhi. Now he was alone, looking a little lonely.
Early this morning.
Shuang Ning knelt outside the courtyard, begging Pei Zhi for forgiveness.
The hall master said that these people were trained for Pei Zhi. If Pei Zhi does not need them, then there is no meaning of existence.
People who have no meaning in existence will only die.
Shuang Ning didn't want to die, so she risked her last chance to beg Pei Zhi to relent.
She had never committed any major crime, and she had worked hard all the way to reach her current position. No matter what, she wanted an explanation, and she was not willing to accept it.
Pei Zhi naturally knew that people were kneeling outside the courtyard.
Shen Zhao had secretly mentioned it to him several times this morning. After all, Shuang Ning and he had a comradeship, and he knew best how difficult it was to climb to this position.
He knelt until noon, but there was still no movement from Pei Zhi.
Shuang Ning just knelt on the ground and didn't move.
This was her last hope, she just asked her master to be a little soft-hearted.
When Jiang Li came to look for her, she immediately noticed Shuang Ning kneeling outside. She naturally knew that it was because of her third brother that she sent the people out.
Naturally, she doesn't want people who are disrespectful to her to appear next to her third brother. If they do, it's just trouble.
Jiang Li wanted to bypass it and go in directly. Shuang Ning was motionless, but when he passed by, he seemed to suddenly react and grabbed the hem of her skirt.
"Your Majesty, Rongan County, I was too blind to see Mount Tai before, so please be kind enough to spare my life."
Jiang Li paused: "How can I spare your life?"
Shuang Ning raised her eyes to look at her, her spine not bending at all.
"If I can't stay with my master, I will have no choice but to die."
"I beg the county master to show your respect."
She had always looked down on Jiang Li, and there was nothing she could do about it at the moment.
How could Jiang Li not see that there was no trace of remorse in her eyes? She clicked her tongue: "It was the third brother who punished you. How can I make the decision?"
Shuang Ning's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at her hard: "As long as the county master is willing, it will be okay."
This was her last chance. She knelt here all morning, and her master didn't want to see her.
But it would be different if the person in front of me was interceding for him——
Jiang Li looked at her: "Why should I beg Third Brother for you?"
Shuang Ning then spoke: "I have always been with the master. Now that Mr. Yuan has left, the master is short of manpower."
She finally bent her back and said, "Please have mercy on me from the county master. Shuang Ning will then work hard and die."
Jiang Li stood up and pulled out the hem of her skirt.
"Remember what you said today."
After saying this, he walked into the yard.
Shuang Ning looked at the back in front of her with sore eyes, so Jiang Li promised herself...
When Jiang Li passed by, Pei Zhi stayed in the study and read a book as always. After seeing her coming, he waved to her.
Pei Zhi put down the book in his hand, warmed Jiang Li's hands and said, "Did she just beg you outside the yard?"
Jiang Li didn't hide it at all, and nodded: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my third brother."
As he spoke, he looked through the window and took another look at the people kneeling outside.
Then he said: "So what do third brothers think?"
Pei Zhi frowned and showed no concern for the people outside. He smiled and said, "If she is willing to kneel, let her kneel outside until she is satisfied and until she remembers."
This move is of no use to me.
Jiang Li pulled Pei Zhi. In fact, she felt that what Shuang Ning just said made sense.
Moreover, Shuang Ning did not cause any actual harm to herself, and there were not many trustworthy people around the third brother.
When she entered the palace in her previous life, Shuang Ning was still a capable person beside her third brother, but now she is rejected by her third brother because of herself.
Jiang Li was actually worried in her heart. What would happen if something happened to her?
Thinking of this, she spoke seriously: "Third brother, everything Shuang Ning did was indeed for you, although she did something wrong in these things."
"Third brother, now is the time to employ people, why don't we give her one last chance."
When Pei Zhi heard this, he looked at Jiang Li with his other hand on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"So, you were moved by what she just said."
"Third brother, I just think she didn't commit anything serious after all."
The main thing is that Shuang Ning is indeed loyal to her third brother.
At least that was the case in my previous life.
Since I stand with the third brother, I naturally have to consider these aspects for the third brother, and I must not completely rely on my own petty temperament.
Pei Zhi pulled the little girl to sit down next to him, his eyes full of seriousness: "In my eyes, everything you do is a big deal."
When Jiang Li heard this, the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
The third brother is now getting more and more comfortable talking about love, and he is completely overwhelmed.
She shook her head and returned to the topic.
His expression was more serious: "Third brother, the world has been difficult for women since ancient times. It is not easy for Shuang Ning to slowly climb to his current status among a group of people."
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. It just depends on whether she can reflect on it."
Jiang Li was just touched. On the one hand, Shuang Ning was indeed useful to the third brother. On the other hand, it was not easy to think that Shuang Ning could achieve her current status.
It would be a pity to die like this.
Jiang Li took the hand of the person in front of her and acted coquettishly: "Anyway, let's give her another chance. If she dares to do this again in the future, we will never let her off lightly."
When he said this, Jiang Li's cheeks puffed up tightly. When Pei Zhi saw it, he felt that his mood had improved a lot.
Shen Zhao Shuang Ning was very skilled in martial arts, so she naturally overheard the conversation in the room.
A rare emotion flashed through Shuang Ning's cold eyes.
If this matter happened to him, he would never be able to intercede on behalf of others.
But as soon as he said that and made all the pros and cons clear, Jiang Li really went in to plead for herself.
The people inside not only begged for mercy for themselves, but also said something like this.
Shuang Ning was still very unconvinced just now.
At this moment, I just felt very uncomfortable in my heart, and I felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
This world is indeed unfair to women. She has worked harder and endured more hardships than ordinary people to achieve her current position.
That's why she refused to give in and kept kneeling here.
She is not simply afraid of death, she also has her own ambitions in her heart, which have not yet been realized...
