Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 669

Zhao Xiwei sat quietly in the room.

The room has been newly replaced with light green screens, which are as thin and transparent as a crow's feather. Through the hollowed-out fan, you can faintly see peach red and plum white.

The bright sunlight came in, and the mottled light and shadow kept jumping on everyone.

Those faces were either shocked, panicked, or angry, and there were occasional cries that were almost hoarse.

"I beg you!" Yuan's face was full of tears, and she knelt down in front of the old lady again, "Sister Yu is your granddaughter, you only have a few children in total, please find a way to save her, okay?"

Looking at Zhao Ziyi again: "Master Xiang, you have certain contacts in the court, can you help me find a way?"

Zhao Ziyi was silent for a long time, then sighed: "Get up, I..."

Before he could say anything, the old lady interrupted him: "Xuan'er!"

She stood up and helped Yuan Shi up, "Sister Yu didn't do anything wrong. She disturbed Shengjia and lost her manners in front of the imperial court. I know that you feel uncomfortable, and I, as a grandmother, also feel distressed. It's just one thing. Xuan'er's leg injury has not healed, and His Majesty is also angry, in my opinion, why don't you go back and have a good rest, and we can think of a solution tomorrow, how about it?"

Isn't this a rejection of her request?
Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, full of disbelief: "Old lady, she is not only my child, but also your granddaughter! After such a big accident happened to her, you actually advised me to go back and rest? You..." She felt extremely sad, and immediately beat her chest and cried out: "A white-haired man is giving away a black-haired man, how can you be so hard-hearted..."

She almost lost her composure by crying, and her tears wet a large part of her clothes, but it didn't make the old lady change her mind.

She was desperate to the extreme, but she felt a gleam of joy inexplicably: "I know! Do I need to spend money to manage it? I have money!" She hugged the old lady's legs a little frantically, and shook them vigorously, "I can I will give you all the money of our Yuan family, which is a million taels! Is this money enough? If not, I can raise money again. I will sell the land, the house, and the shop! I don’t have to, as long as you help Help me, old lady, please, you can think of a way for me, okay?"

The old lady's expression finally loosened a bit, she sighed deeply, tears welled up in her eyes, but what she said made Yuan's heart tear apart in an instant——

"It's not about money... If money is useful, how can I, a grandmother, stand idly by?"

Shaking her head lightly, a drop of tear slid down her wrinkled cheeks: "This is the child's life, you and I will admit it... I hope she will be born in a good family in the next life... "

Yuan Shi let go of her hand suddenly: "No!"

She looked at the old man with red eyes: "You are so hard-hearted, but I can't! If you don't think about it, I will think about it myself!" As she spoke, she lifted her skirt, got up and walked out.

"Don't—" Zhao Zixiu shouted at her back.

Yuan Shi just stepped over the threshold with one foot, turned around abruptly, looked at her ex-husband, and there was a gleam of light in her eyes: "Second Lord?"

Zhao Zixiu looked at Yuan Shi, then at Pei Xianglan, raised his arm slightly: "I think...you..."

After saying two words, Pei Xianglan grabbed his wrist and said softly: "I know what you mean, so why don't I feel the same pain? In the past, I would definitely go back to my mother's house to run this trip for you and my sister , but now..." She lowered her tone, and looked at the old lady timidly, "Now because of my marriage, my mother's family is very angry with me, and they almost want to kick me out... Besides... Our Pei family...it's not like it used to be..."

In the middle of speaking, he lowered his eyelids, full of embarrassment, and was speechless.

Pei Xianglan didn't want to help Zhao Chengyu more than anyone else.

How can it be such a good thing to be a stepmother?If you are not familiar with it, you are a white-eyed wolf, and Zhao Chengyu is obviously a stupid and crazy white-eyed wolf, who may pounce on him and bite his neck off at any time.

Now this white-eyed wolf has committed a capital crime, this is really sleepy and then the pillow came, she would wake up laughing in her dreams!

Besides, even if she wanted to help, there was no such way.

Ever since Concubine Pei fell out of favor and became a talented person, the Pei family has become empty-handed. The three generations, no matter whether they are in the imperial court or in the capital, have always behaved like walking on thin ice.

To get involved in this matter now is tantamount to committing suicide by thinking that one has lived too long.

"Hey!" Zhao Zixiu naturally knew the meaning of this, he sighed helplessly, and suddenly lowered his raised hand, both annoyed and heartbroken.

"How about..." His eyes flickered, avoiding Yuan's eyes, "You should go back and rest..."

"Haha!" Yuan Shi suddenly laughed.

"Okay, okay." Her tone was sad and sharp, "I see it clearly! You Zhao people are ruthless! It is said that businessmen value profit, and you aristocratic families are not much better—no, you are more cold-blooded than us! We want money to survive, because we have no other means of earning a living. But what about you? You don’t lack money, what you lack is love!”

Her eyes were red and she was full of anger: "It's ridiculous that I still have fantasies about you, I hope one of you can think of a way for me... I'm blind! If I had known that you are so ruthless, I should have taken Sister Yu Take her away! Let her live with me in my mother's house!"

Mentioning Zhao Chengyu, she felt sad again, and tears fell again: "I thought at the time, your Zhao family is the tallest, and if you keep her with her father, you can marry a good family in the future—yes, I'm thinking about it." Ding dong, but I don't know that cleverness is mistaken by cleverness..."

Her body swayed a bit, but her back was still straight, "Sister Yu was also arrogant in the past. Although I was not a good mother, I couldn't take care of her everywhere, but if she caused trouble, I will hit what should be beaten, I will scold what should be scolded, and I will be reasonable when I should be reasonable, after all, with a mother like me watching, no matter how daring she is, she will not dare to barge in front of His Majesty to cause trouble."

"She didn't have me by my side, and the father didn't care about her, so the people in the house naturally wouldn't take her seriously..." Yuan Shi took a deep breath, and said with a trembling voice: "I should have known , I took her away, how did I end up like this today?"

"Why do you say such things—" Zhao Ziyi was afraid that the old lady would be sad, so she hurriedly said in a low voice, "Sister Yu made mistakes a few days ago, and my mother and I have admonished them."

Yuan Shi didn't bother to look at this man any more, she just turned around on her own.

"To be here today is to humiliate myself!"

Putting down these words coldly, he stepped up, stepped out of the door, and descended the steps.

Left behind, a dead silence.
