stern wife

Chapter 578 Who Has No Selfishness?
Pei Xiaoran sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly:

"Brother should know that Aunt Cheng's younger brother has returned to his father's side, right?"

Pei Wenchang's deceased biological mother, Cheng Shi, had a younger brother who had no real skills and was the best at flattering horses. At Cheng's pleading, he got a considerable official position under Pei Xingshan's men.

Later, Pei Xiaoran designed Cheng's to make Pei Xingshan mistakenly think that her younger brother had rebellious intentions, so Pei Xingshan had no contact with him anymore.

Cheng Zhou, Cheng's younger brother, also returned to Xijiang along with the other lieutenants after Pei Xingshan was detained in Beijing by the Holy Master, and continued to serve.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and he was demoted because he committed some crimes. After hearing that Pei Xingshan went to garrison around Lu Wei, he actually followed him!

I don't know what he said to Pei Xingshan, but Pei Xingshan didn't care about the past and kept him, but he didn't go through the back door for him and promoted him.

Pei Runzhi nodded, of course he knew about it, because he had seen it with his own eyes.

It's just a pity that Pei Wenchang's little uncle died in the battle with the former lord Lu Wei.

Moreover, the death was terrible, the limbs of the corpse were cut off by the enemy, the person was not hacked to death at all, but died of pain after the limbs were severed.

Pei Xiaoran sneered and said:
"Before the war started, I had already received news that Cheng Zhou had received news from Fifth Brother that Aunt Cheng's death was caused by me, and that he would kill you on the battlefield to avenge me."

Pei Runzhi's eyes widened in surprise. He never expected that his sister's power in the dark had grown so powerful.

Even such secret information can be unearthed.

However, what he didn't know was that, in fact, he had already died once, and it was by Cheng Zhou's hands!

In the last life, Pei Xingshan was not detained in Beijing by Emperor Chixuan, and he had been serving as the commander in Xijiang. Cheng Zhou was also a capable man he single-handedly picked up.

Cheng Zhou was the best at spying on people's hearts, and he soon realized that Pei Xingshan didn't like the eldest son who had been following him to fight.

Even, there is a faint repulsion and hatred.

In order to win Pei Xingshan's favor, Cheng Zhou decided to get rid of the unsightly eldest son for Pei Xingshan.

Moreover, although his sister's son is highly valued by Pei Xingshan, but because of his status as a concubine, he may not be able to inherit the title and Duke's mansion in the future.

If he got rid of the eldest son, and then tried to get rid of the other heirs, wouldn't his sister's son be the heir logically?

So, in a battle, Cheng Zhou, who was appointed by Pei Xingshan as the general of the left wing, withdrew at the most critical juncture with his own men!

And all the enemy troops rushed towards Pei Runzhi, who was appointed as the right-wing general at that time!

Pei Runzhi never expected that his own people would harm his own people, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and resist desperately.

However, he was outnumbered and lost nearly half of his fighting power. No matter how strong his martial arts were, he was still outnumbered by two fists and four hands. In the end, he died tragically under the random knife slashing of the enemy.

It stands to reason that Cheng Zhou fled and should be executed.

But what happened later?

Hehe, later on, Pei Xingshan single-handedly covered Cheng Zhou, and falsely accused Pei Runzhi of disobeying the commander's orders and secretly leading people to send troops in order to gain military merit, causing our army to be defeated.

In order to convince the world that Pei Runzhi was indeed guilty, he even threatened to remove this son who killed countless soldiers from the genealogy, so that he would not even be able to enter the ancestral grave!
Fortunately, Emperor Chixuan was kind and did not agree with Pei Xingshan's actions, and the commander was also responsible for his subordinates' mistakes, so he fined Pei Xingshan's salary for three years.

And this incident was also the main reason why Pei Xiaoran's brothers all died on the battlefield.

Because the eldest brother died in battle, the third and fourth brothers hated the enemy army to the bone, and went to the battlefield one after another, but they died one after another because of their lack of martial arts skills.

Pei Xingshan's own father knew that the two sons were not strong in martial arts, so he had nothing to stop him from doing so.

These things, after Pei Xiaoran investigated more and more, he felt that something was wrong, and sent more confidants to investigate secretly, and finally found out the truth.

Pei Xingshan condoned the murderer and indirectly killed his three sons, so Pei Xiaoran would never let him go.

As for Cheng Zhou, as the trigger of the whole incident and the main culprit who killed her elder brother, of course she would be more careful.

Because of Pei Xingshan's protection in her last life, she failed to kill Cheng Zhou.

Later, when Pei Xingshan died, Cheng Zhou knew that without this backer, he would surely die as well. He ran faster than a rabbit, and when Pei Xiaoran sent someone to look for him again, he didn't know which mouse hole he would hide in.

That's why, in this life, she heard that after Cheng Zhou came back, when he went to fight before Pei Run, he specially sent Zhang Zeqing, Xiao Rou and others to protect him.

It's just a pity that only she knows about the past life, and she can't tell her elder brother.

Of course, the above remarks were completely made up by her, because even Wenchang Pei didn't know why Aunt Cheng died, so how could Cheng Zhou get this news from him?
However, the facts proved that the villain will always be the villain. This time, Cheng Zhou still attacked her elder brother.

Pei Run's face was stunned, and he said in a low voice:
"That's why you let Zeqing do that?"

Immediately, he frowned again, and said with a face of disapproval:

"However, Zeqing is also a human being! How can I let him die in my place because of family grievances?!"

There was a faint sound of footsteps outside, but no one came to knock on the door. It seemed that they were just passing servants, and Pei Xiaoran didn't care.

Her voice was calm, as if she didn't care about the lives of others, and there was even a hint of coldness in her expression, and said:
"I took him in in the first place to make him work for me, and he has already agreed to me. So, if he dies, he will die for me. Brother, you don't have to feel guilty."

Hearing these ruthless words, Pei Runzhi stood up and stared in disbelief at the sister who had always been loving and righteous in his heart.

"You... how can you say such a thing? How can you treat others like this?"

"if not?"

Pei Xiaoran also stood up, and asked in a cold voice:

"Do you want me to watch you go to die, big brother? Or do you want me to watch Junyue lose his father and sister-in-law lose her husband and feel miserable?
The eldest brother is brave, loyal, and righteous, and doesn't bother to do any villainous things, but does the eldest brother think about these family members? "

Pei Runzhi said angrily:

"Zeqing also has a family! He is Xiaorou's only support. If he dies, won't Xiaorou not be in pain or sad?"

"That's what he promised me, but I definitely didn't force him!"

"you!"
