Chapter 242

"Master, Gu Yingniang is asking to see you."

Pei Zhong's voice sounded outside the door, Pei Xiu was in a bad mood, and said impatiently, "No see!"

Pei Zhong outside the door was silent for a moment, and then said again, "Mr. Xiang, she seems to have something to say to Mr. Xiang."

Pei Xiu's eyes flickered, and he said coldly, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Gu Yingniang, that is, Wu Yueniang walked in gracefully. Seeing Pei Xiu's gloomy and dripping face, Wu Yueniang shivered, her face turned pale, as if she was terribly scared.

Pei Xiu glanced at her disdainfully, a woman is a woman, he was so frightened when his face sank.

However, it's good for a woman to be timid, at least she won't annoy him by confronting him, let alone abandon his wishes.

Wu Yueniang pretended not to see the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and stepped on them. The porcelain pieces pierced through the thin embroidered shoes and got into the soles of her feet. The blood immediately stained the white embroidered shoes red. The snow-white teeth bit her lips firmly, and she never made a sound, which made Pei Xiu take another look.

This stubborn look is a bit like the one in the palace.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

It's just a superficial resemblance, if the empress had cut off her feet with these broken porcelain pieces, she would have to have someone grind these broken porcelain pieces into dross, so she wouldn't just know death.

Wu Yueniang pointed to her mouth, and then Pei Xiu remembered that she was dumb, and pointed to the pen and ink on the table, asking her to write it down.

Enduring the pain in her feet, Wu Yueniang walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a line.

After training, her handwriting is beautiful, revealing the gracefulness of Jiangnan. Pei Xiu took a look, her eyes flickered slightly, and said, "Do you want to find your uncle?"

Wu Yueniang nodded.

Her identity is Gu Yingniang, whom God is looking for relatives. If she never mentions the uncle she has never met, it will only make Pei Xiang suspicious.

"His information has been found out."

When Wu Yueniang heard it, she looked at Pei Xiu with burning eyes, just like a lonely woman who was looking forward to getting news from her relatives.

Pei Xiu paused, took a deep look at Wu Yueniang, and then slowly said, "He was beaten to death by the people in the gambling shop half a year ago because he owed gambling debts."

Wu Yueniang's eyes were wide open, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant. After a while, she tightly covered her mouth, and cried out loudly, tears falling like beads that fell off a string.

She cried very sadly, her body was shaking constantly, her face was pale, and her face was covered with tears.

Pei Xiu watched her cry coldly, and Wu Yueniang cried for a long time before she slowly stopped her tears, her expression dazed, her snow-white pearl teeth biting her lips until they turned white, as if she was worried about her future .

In fact, she already knew that Gu Yingniang's uncle had died, and this was just a play.

She thought that Pei Xiang would feel compassion, but to her disappointment, Pei Xiang had been watching coldly and did not respond to her sadness.

But to Wu Yueniang's delight, Pei Xiang didn't seem to be suspicious either.

"You stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion temporarily. After a while, the Prime Minister will send you back to Jiangnan."

Pei Xiu said lightly that he did not intend to send 'Gu Yingniang' back to Jiangnan. This woman is the illegitimate daughter of the Gu family, so she might be useful.

After hearing this, Wu Yueniang shook her head desperately, with fear on her face, especially fear.

"You don't want to go back?"

Pei Xiu asked softly, Wu Yueniang nodded vigorously.

Pei Xiu took a deep look at her and asked her to back down without saying anything.

Wu Yueniang bit her lip and looked at Pei Xiu pitifully, as if she wanted Pei Xiu to let go, but Pei Xiu's eyes were cold and heavy, and she didn't respond to her plea for help.

Wu Yueniang's beautiful pale face showed a look of despair, she gave Pei Xiu a sad look, turned around and walked out slowly.

Every time she took a step, the blood on her embroidered shoes stained the carpet. Looking at the blood, Pei Xiu frowned.

After walking a few steps, Wu Yueniang seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, her body as delicate as a willow fell to the side, and fell to the ground with a 'boom'.

Given the distance between Pei Xiu and her, Pei Xiu could have reached out to support her, but he didn't. He watched Wu Yueniang fall to the ground, fainted, and called Pei Zhong in to take her away.

Pei Zhong called a servant to take Wu Yueniang away, and then called a doctor to see her.

After everything was done, Pei Zhong went back to Pei Xiu's study and reported to Pei Xiu.

"The doctor said that Miss Gu's body is too weak, she needs to take good care of her body, and don't be stimulated anymore."

Pei Xiu was reviewing official documents. Hearing this, he raised his head from the pile of official documents more than one foot high, and said coldly, "Pei Zhong, are you too free?"

"what?"

Pei Zhong was stunned, not understanding why Xiangye made such a statement.

"You can just keep an eye on her affairs, what do you say to the truth? The truth has no time to listen!"

Pei Zhong muttered on his old lips, and said cautiously, "There are fewer and fewer wives in the backyard. The prime minister has not summoned a wife in the backyard for more than half a year. The old slave thinks that the prime minister kept her, maybe because he likes her a little. So pay attention to her."

Pei Xiu snorted coldly, "What do you think the truth is? A cat, cat or dog picked up by the side of the road is also worthy of the truth?"

Pei Zhong was silent for a while, hesitant to speak.

Pei Xiu looked at his expression, his eyes flickered slightly, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Xiangye is over 25 years old and has not married a wife and has no heirs. The old lady is very anxious, and the old lady and the old lady are also very anxious. In the past few days, the old lady and the old lady have called the old slave to question him several times. Does the master have a good friend outside? If the master likes it, just lead him into the mansion. The old slave said no, but the wife and the wife did not believe it. The old slave swears, and the wife believes it, saying that the master has never called the backyard. Woman, isn't it, isn't it..."

"Is it what?"

"The old slave dare not say."

Pei Zhong lowered his head in fear, Pei Xiu gave him a cold look, "You don't need to say it, but..."

Pei Zhong shuddered, and said quickly, "Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Doubt whether Xiangye has the goodness of Long Yang and the habit of breaking sleeves."

Pei Xiu's face turned so dark that it became the bottom of the pot. Pei Zhong glanced at him in fear, and continued, "It's not just Mrs. Tai and Mrs. who are suspicious, but the servants in the mansion are also talking about it, and some people say that the Prime Minister and Mrs. The door master of the gate of death..."

Looking at Pei Xiu's gloomy, dripping face, Pei Zhong didn't dare to say any more.

Needless to say too clearly, Pei Xiu already understood, even though it was rumored that he had broken his sleeves, it was actually rumored that he was with that male and female sect master...

With a dark face, Pei Xiu said coldly, "Those servants who love to chew their tongues, all cut off their tongues and drove them out of the house!"

Pei Zhong respectfully responded, and carefully glanced at Pei Xiu, "Then what will the old slave say if Mrs. Tai and Mrs. ask me to ask the old slave again?"

Pei Xiu stared at him blankly, Pei Zhong didn't dare to say anything, and was about to back down with his head down.

"Wait!"

As soon as he walked to the door, Pei Zhong heard Pei Xiu's cold voice, and quickly turned around and asked, "What else does Xiangye want?"

Pei Xiu didn't say a word for a long time, the candlelight shone on his unparalleled handsome face, and the half-bright and half-dark light and shadow dyed that face with an indescribable feeling.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Xiu finally turned around slowly, staring straight at Pei Zhong, "What's that girl's name?"

Pei Zhong was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What girl?"

Pei Xiu looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word, a flash of light flashed in Pei Zhong's mind, "Is it Zi'er that Xiangye asked?"

"Is she sent by mother?"

"Yes."

Pei Zhong thought that Master Xiang was going to deal with Zi'er, so he hurriedly helped her speak, "Master Xiang, Zi'er has always been well-behaved and honest. She seems to be visiting everywhere, and the wife in the backyard wants to bribe her, so she tells the old slave all the time, and the old slave can guarantee that Zi'er is a good girl..."

Pei Zhong quite likes Zi'er, this girl is sensible, although she doesn't like to talk, she does what she should do very well.

Although the wife sent her to serve Xiangye, it is estimated that she secretly told her how to serve him, but she never went to him, and even Xiangye's study and bedroom were far away, which was very interesting.

"enough!"

Pei Xiu interrupted Pei Zhong coldly, with a somewhat impatient tone and a gloomy expression, "The truth is just a question, do you need so many words?"

Pei Zhong shut his mouth shut in embarrassment, watching Pei Xiu continue to lower his head and seriously review the official documents, Pei Zhong didn't dare to disturb Pei Xiu any more, bowed his head and backed away, just as he walked to the door, he heard Xiang Ye's voice again , "Slow down!"

Again!
Pei Zhong resigned himself to his fate and stopped, turned his head and asked respectfully, "What else does Xiang Ye want?"

This time, Pei Xiu didn't raise his head, and reviewed the official document flamboyantly, and said calmly, "Find a nanny to teach it, and send it to the truth room later."

Pei Zhonggang wanted to ask who to teach, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood.

He retreated happily, and immediately asked someone to find the teaching mother, and took Zi'er to teach.

From the beginning to the end, Zi'er didn't say a word, and listened meekly to the teaching of the nanny, even if what the nanny said made people blush, Zi'er didn't say a word.

"You are a lucky girl. You are actually taken by the Xiangye. If you can give birth to a son and a half daughter, you will be able to become an aunt."

Nanny said with a smile, Zi'er lowered her head and said nothing, her cheeks were flushed.

"Hey, you're still shy. With a man as handsome as Master Xiang, who wouldn't want to be favored by him? You girl flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix. How many people envy your good life."

Nanny giggled and said, took Zi'er to take a bath, rubbed her body with fragrance, and painted her a beautiful makeup. Seeing that everything was in order, she carefully told her a few words, and took the door out. up.

Zi'er lay quietly under the blanket, waiting for Master Xiang to return to his room.

In the middle of the night, Pei Xiu finally returned to her room, and the faint candlelight reflected Zi'er's delicate and beautiful face, making it even more delicious and moving.

Pei Xiu glanced at her coldly, Zi'er couldn't help shivering with that frost-soaked eyes, Pei Xiu didn't say anything, just kept silent except for his clothes, and lifted the cloth covering Zi'er's body. Quilt.

The girl under the quilt didn't wear a single strand of hair. The innocent girl of fifteen or sixteen years old had an exquisite body, fair skin, exuding a delicate and moving luster, so tender that water could almost be squeezed out, and the fragrance of young children wafted in the air.
