Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 813 Pei Shiju's Choice

Three carriages drove slowly into Chang'an and stopped at the gate of a mansion. Pei Shiju, who looked very old, got out of the carriage with difficulty under the support of two servants.

Although Pei Shiju was nearly [-] years old, he had experienced so many changes and maintained a good physical and mental state. However, when he was about to die, he suffered the pain of losing his son, which obviously dealt a heavy blow to this old man.

Seeing her father looking gloomy and unable to speak, Pei Shuying who greeted her burst into tears, and when she saw the servants carrying the two coffins off the carriage, she burst into tears, almost wailing.

Speaking of which, Pei Shuying's life experience can also be called miserable, and she was relatively stable when she was young, but since she got married, her husband was exiled to Lingnan half a month later, and her mother died a few years later, and she finally survived until her husband died within a year of her return. They have different beds and different dreams, and now their only elder brother is gone.

The funeral arrangements and the mourning hall were naturally done by servants. The father and daughter sat down in the side room, Pei Shuying was still wiping away the tears that kept falling, and Pei Shiju didn't seem to have recovered, he didn't even say a word in a daze.

Until a figure appeared at the door at some unknown time, Li Dewu said quietly: "It's really him?"

Pei Shiju just stared at the opposite wall without saying a word, while Pei Shuying raised her eyebrows and stared fiercely at Li Dewu, "Could it not be him?!"

"When Mayi recruited Yuan Junzhang back then, Li Huairen was not a congratulatory gift from Cui Xin, don't you know?!"

That congratulatory gift was a bloody fur hat, which was the most direct and naked threat... But this time, it seemed to have proved the other party's determination.At least from Pei Shuying's point of view.

Pei Shiju's gray eyebrows twitched, and he showed a wry smile. He was much better than this clan brother in terms of eloquence, eloquence and strategy, so he could naturally hear what Pei Ji meant.

Li Dewu was stunned for a moment, and his throat moved quickly. Seeing Pei Shuying's ruthless expression, he couldn't help taking a few steps back... That's right, if it was his wife who did it, no one would blame Li Shan for it!
Those who know the inside story will never throw this blame on Li Shan, but will understand and sympathize with Pei Shuying very much.

Although Pei Shiju, Li Shimin, Cui Xin, and Ling Jing didn't say anything, they all felt that Li Shan and Huo Qubing were too similar. They were also young and commanded the army.

Anyway, if his son succeeds, he won't do anything to him... At most, his official career will no longer be hopeful, and he will be able to live a normal life, and he will be driven back to Lingnan at the very least.

Seeing Pei Shiju sitting there without saying a word, Pei Ji was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Xuan Ji has gone, and there are still heirs, please don't abandon the third brother."

If Li Shan wins, Pei Shiju loses... It is estimated that Pei Shuying must kill herself. Looking at Li Shan's method this time, if she wins, the Pei family must be ruined. Can Pei Shuying not hate herself?
If Pei Shiju wins, Li Shan loses... Li Dewu thought in his heart, even though Pei Shiju, that old fox, didn't say anything just now, he would definitely kill Li Shan, but after all, his only son is dead, can he not hate himself?
At that time, it is likely to be a glass of poisoned wine.

The frightened Li Dewu left in despair. For a moment, he didn't know who to expect to win... Originally between Pei Shiju and Li Shan, Li Dewu actually hoped that the former would win. On the other hand, he also wanted to see how Pei Shiju was beaten again and again by his son.

Li Dewu didn't understand this sentence, and his mind was still thinking... Impossible, Li Shan can use many people, but as long as he is dead and the murderer is not caught, everyone will suspect him. After all, the brother-in-law can learn from the past. .

Li Dewu felt a chill in his heart, the son he abandoned was so cruel?
If Pei Shiju is gone in the future, how will that guy treat himself?

However, Huo Qubing later recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and brought out a generation of power officials Huo Guang.

Did Pei Shuying have a reason to kill her husband?
Of course!
Because of the broken mirror reunion, Pei Shuying's father, who was only in his eighties, had to go to the East Palace to participate in the fight for the heir, and he could no longer be alone.

But as Pei Shuying said, Li Dewu didn't think anything would happen to him. After all, the relationship between father and son, at least Cui Xin and Princess Pingyang knew about it.

The corner of Li Dewu's mouth twitched, I never had such a sweet dream... Although Huo Zhongru didn't recognize Huo Qubing's son for a long time, he never tried to harm him.

Because of the broken mirror reunion, Pei Shuying's only biological brother Pei Xuanji died in Longzhou, leaving orphans and widows.

Pei Ji had a sad look on his face, "My condolences to the third brother."

The reason for killing her husband is too sufficient, so sufficient that no one can find a reason!

Pei Shiju pondered for a while before opening his mouth. A servant from outside reported that Pei Ji, the only prime minister in charge of Chang'an, had arrived.

Seeing the slightly relaxed expression on Li Dewu's face, Pei Shuying sneered and said, "He can't kill, but others can!"

On the contrary, if Pei Shiju wins, with Wenxi Pei's power, it would be too easy to kill him, and he may not even be able to escape by fleeing to Lingnan!

Under the scorching sun, Li Dewu shuddered, and his own life was bleak... No, no, if Li Shan wins, and he finds an excuse to hide from Chang'an, or asks Princess Pingyang, Cui Xin, or even his son for help , Pei Shuying might not be able to kill herself!
Although it is shameless to ask for help, I abandoned my wife and children back then... But because of the abandonment of my wife and children, my face has long since been lost!

Pei Shuying's voice became more and more sharp, "Father and son, even if you abandon your wife and son, he will not kill you, and he will even follow Huo Qubing..."

Because of the broken mirror reunion, Pei Longqian, the only well-known younger generation of Wenxi Pei's western family, died in Longzhou... You must know that among the famous families in the world, it is Wenxi Pei who likes infighting the most. It never stopped.

Li Dewu gritted his teeth, and it was decided!
You must not sit still!
Pei Shuying in the side room hadn't thought that her harsh words would have such an effect. After a long silence, she asked in a low voice: "It was really Li Huairen's hands?"

But now?

After a pause, Pei Shuying finally finished speaking, "I can!"

Pei Ji was afraid that Pei Shiju would be devastated after suffering the loss of his son, and even be heartbroken and retire... After all, he was almost 80 years old.

One must know that not only Pei Xuanji died, but also Pei Longqian, who was placed in the East Palace by Pei Ji and was also the link between him and Prince Li Jiancheng.

Now that Pei Longqian died in battle, if Pei Shiju were to become an official, then the power of the once domineering Wenxi Pei clan's West Family House would decline significantly. It would not be a good thing for the East Palace or the family.

"Seventh Brother, don't worry." Pei Shiju looked a little excited, he had already reached this point, and he would not, could, or would not be able to retreat!
