"My lord, you are joking. Which of the children in the Pei family is not my pet peeve? Even if Pei Si is just a concubine, he is still very important to the Pei family. Please don't make things more difficult..." Rong Qin felt a strong sense of oppression. , which made Pei Yunjiang and Pei Liang break into cold sweat unconsciously.
But now that the matter has come to this, it is absolutely impossible for them to give up halfway.
"Well... you are a pet peeve." Rong Qin pointedly repeated Pei Yunjiang's words. He unfolded the folding fan in his hand and shook it leisurely a few times: "You think you don't know your true identity?" What’s the purpose of coming here?”
Rong Qin's eyes suddenly became sharp, which made Pei Yunjiang feel guilty: "Mr. Pei has ambitions in his heart, and he is very concerned about the family's status. Indeed, you cut off relations with Pei Qi to protect yourself. The only way out, but if you really care about her, why would you start tracing Pei Si’s whereabouts only now?”
Pei Yunjiang lowered his head and clenched his fists: "The little old man doesn't understand what you mean."
"Do you want to tell the truth clearly?" Rong Qin despised Pei Yunjiang's behavior of pretending to be confused.
There were some things that Pei Qi was kept in the dark about, but he found them out clearly.
Rong Qin turned his back to Pei Yunjiang. His relaxed tone and what he said were enough to make Pei Qi's heart bleed: "Three years ago, Pei Qi became a national advisor. Because of his resourcefulness, he was ordered to go west with the hussar general to suppress the bandits. , and then she returned with a great victory, but she was assassinated at the foot of the imperial city near the imperial capital, and was poisoned by the so-called Jianghu poison. Does this matter sound very familiar to Mr. Pei? "
Hearing Rong Qin mention what happened four years ago, Pei Yunjiang's eyes widened in disbelief, and the next words made him feel like a thorn in his back.
"After Pei Si became her medicine cup, the poison that tortured Pei Qi for half a month was slightly relieved. She secretly sent Zhaolan Palace to find the poisoner for several months or even half a year, but she was stupid. I have searched all over the court, including the emperor and princes, and all the famous families in the capital, but I never expected that the person who poisoned me is none other than you, my so-called biological father."
It is you, the so-called biological father...
It is you, the so-called biological father...
Pei Qi, who was standing not too far away, was frozen in place because of Rong Qin's words. Pei Qi didn't hear what he said clearly, only these words kept echoing in his mind.
The real culprit who poisoned her was Pei Yunjiang?
This is impossible……
What Rong Qin said must be false.
How could her father poison her? She is dad's biological daughter...
But... But, at that time, she even suspected the entire imperial capital, but she did not investigate the Pei family, because she believed that the Pei family would not harm her, and she still wanted to honor the Pei family, didn't she?
impossible……
She couldn't believe it.
Rong Qin is so scheming that he must be trying to scare his father.
Pei Qi suppressed his emotions, walked towards Rong Qin with heavy steps, and spoke slowly: "Husband, you must be joking. For Mr. Pei, Xiaosi, a bastard, can ask him to come and beg him in person. , not to mention, Pei Qi is his biological daughter, Mr. Pei will definitely not do this."
After saying that, Pei Qi lowered his head and looked at Pei Yunjiang's reaction.
But he just lowered his head and pursed his lips, not even saying anything to refute Rong Qin.
Dad... Dad, please speak. You shook your head and retorted to Rong Qin, saying that none of this was done by you...
Say it……
Pei Qi stared at Pei Yunjiang's face, hoping that he would stand up and say no, but what she waited for in the end was Rong Qin's chuckle.
Rong Qin raised his hand and gently stroked Pei Qi's cheek: "My wife is kind-hearted and always likes to treat everyone as good, but in this troubled world of seeking power and status, some things are often unexpected, right?"
Rong Qin didn't pay much attention to Pei Qi's subtle strangeness. He just thought that she was used to the family affection between children and couldn't believe it for a while. After a little comfort, he returned his attention to Pei Yunjiang.
He closed the folding fan, tapped Pei Yunjiang's shoulder twice, and said: "Pei Qi first entered the court and kept to himself. Under your instructions, he moved around inside and outside the court, and gradually he was promoted to a high position. The family is also famous in the imperial capital because of her status, but as time goes by, you find that this daughter is gradually out of your control."
"In the past, when Pei Qi was doing things, all she thought about was the Pei family. But later, she became concerned about the people of the world, and began to punish corrupt officials in the court, making enemies on all sides."
"Of course you don't want the Pei family to be in trouble in the imperial capital because of her, so in order to control Pei Qi's movements, you spent a lot of money to find the world-famous poison doctor Qi Qianhe, and in Qi Qianhe's hands you got the so-called strange poison that can't see the sky. , and then used the neglected concubine Pei Si as a medicine cup to try to completely control Pei Qi."
"It's just that you made a miscalculation. You underestimated the status of the people of Dasheng in Pei Qi's heart. Even if you scolded and threatened Pei Si in every possible way, and even detained Pei Si, making her miserable because of the poisonous hair, she still did not give in at all. "
"And you...the so-called father, because you can't let go of Pei Qi as a chess piece, you can only give up." Rong Qin said, at some point he had knelt down, grabbed Pei Yunjiang's chin and pulled his He raised his head and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Anyway, with Pei Qi's character, even if she makes countless enemies in the court, she will do whatever it takes to protect your Pei family, right? What's more, you have Pei Si With it in hand, I won't be afraid of her being misbehaved."
"This is your biggest secret in front of Pei Qi. Right? Mr. Pei."
The secrets that Pei Yunjiang had hidden for many years were revealed by Rong Qin mercilessly at this moment. His eyes had been flustered, at a loss, and even ashamed, but there was no trace of regret that Pei Qi wanted to see.
Rong Qin's words made Pei Qi's legs gradually numb and his breathing became more rapid.
If Su Ying hadn't been supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
If what Rong Qin said was the truth, then what was the deal she made with Rong Qin when she was willing to give up everything in prison?
A joke?
The close family member she cherished in her heart was actually the culprit who tortured her for several years!
She even... has never doubted the Pei family so far.
"Children of the Pei family are born to work for the Pei family. If Pei Qi had listened to me as soon as possible and not provoked those who shouldn't be provoked, maybe... he wouldn't be your enemy, let alone the criminal minister he is today. In the name of that." Pei Yunjiang broke away from Rong Qin's hand, glanced to one side, and stopped looking at his uncomfortable eyes.
It's just that the side of his head happened to hit Pei Qi's direction.
Pei Qi's red eyes couldn't bear it anymore, and tears of disappointment and decadence also flowed down.
She pushed Su Ying away, took two steps in the direction of Pei Yunjiang, and asked, "Why?"
"Since you never care about the Pei family's children, why did you take the risk of coming here to get Xiaosi back?"
