On the Wedding Night, Ms. Cui Realized - Chapter 38
“Mr. Lang.”
The servant walked over quickly and whispered in her ear.
Pei Xuan nodded calmly: “Okay, I see, you go down first.”
As the others retreated, Song Zizhen beside him asked curiously, “What’s the matter, what’s the matter?”
After drinking the last sip of wine in the jug, Zheng Wuji raised his eyebrows: “Xing Guang, if you have something to do, go and do it, don’t worry about us.”
“Ah, yes, go do your work, Wuzhi and I can do whatever we want.”
The two of them were very caring, Pei Xuan smiled slightly, and said truthfully: “I just sent someone to report that there was a little trouble at home and I need to go and see it myself, so I won’t be polite to you.”
She drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, turned and went downstairs.
Seeing her hurried back, Song Zizhen rubbed his chin and said to himself: “Family affairs? Little trouble?”
His eyes rolled: “Don’t tell me his little heart has been wronged?”
Bored, Zheng Wuji spun his small wine glass on the table, casually: “It’s hard to say.”
The carriage galloped all the way back to Pei’s mansion, and the door bowed to welcome her in.
Pei Xuan walked with the wind: “Is the young lady safe?”
The bell said: “Young Madam is fine, she just got a little frightened, she has fallen asleep now, Bai Tang and Rao Liang are by her side.”
Knowing that Cui Ti is fine, her frowning brows slowly relaxed, and a fire was simmering in her heart: “Where is the person?”
“Xiaohong, who betrayed the master, is locked up in the firewood room in the backyard. Madam said she would not interfere in this matter. The young lady has the final say on whether the slaves who eat inside and outside will be sold or sent to officials.”
She wanted to use this matter to help Cui Ti to establish her prestige in front of everyone in the prime minister’s residence.
Pei Xuan’s thin lips were lightly pursed, and the warmth like a spring breeze had disappeared on the way back.
The storm is coming.
In the backyard, the door of the firewood room was opened, and the bright light shone in, illuminating Xiaohong’s panicked and pale face.
Seeing Pei Xuanren, her lips trembled, and she fell to her knees with a plop: “Lang Jun, spare me!”
“Excuse me?”
Pei Xuan looked at her condescendingly.
Speaking with conscience, she couldn’t remember all of the hundreds of servants in the inner and outer courts of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but she really knew the one in front of her.
Xiaohong’s full name is Yunhong, she is an orphan who she looked at pitifully and bought into the mansion three years ago. After entering the mansion, she has been doing errands in the outer courtyard watering flowers and weeding, and has not had the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard to serve.
She occasionally saw her two or three times in the mansion, but she really couldn’t see that a person with such an innocent face had a terrifying heart hidden under his skin.
If there is no little wolf to protect him secretly, who knows what this evil slave will do? !
A wave of fear rushed up, Pei Xuan’s expression was cold: “Bring him out.”
“yes!”
Kong Wu’s powerful servant took Xiaohong’s arm and walked out. She drooped her head and gave up all resistance, but looked at Pei Xuan earnestly, as if she wanted to engrave this man in her heart forever.
The sun was dazzling, she raised her hand as a cover, lowered her head and lifted her dress and knelt down slowly.
Pei Xuan sat on a pear-blossom wooden chair, crossed his long legs, and placed his clothes embroidered with insects and birds: “What else do you have to say?”
Xiaohong stared at her black-bottomed red-edged boots, and smiled wryly: “A gentleman is like a jade gentleman, young and promising, and the young lady is really not good enough for you. How can rubble be accompanied by pearls and jade? I don’t like it, so I want her to die.”
Leaving aside what Pei Xuan thought when he heard this, the bell beside him stopped doing it first: “Young madam and Mr. Lang are married because they are in love with each other. What are you? It’s your turn to dislike it? “
“I really don’t count as anything. Without your help, I would have turned into a puddle of mud on the ground a few years ago, allowing others to despise me.”
She raised her head: “But at least I have a pair of eyes that can see things. What does she have? A blind man dares to touch Mr. Pei’s family? Is she worthy?”
“Well, you white-eyed wolf, it turns out that you have had delusions that you shouldn’t have!”
“…”
The two of them quarreled straight away.
Pei Xuan sat there quietly, feeling extremely ridiculous.
She read poetry and books since she was a child, and was taught by the sages. She knows her shame and shows her courtesy. There are many people who love her, and there are also those who love the bright shell of the “Pei family son”.
She couldn’t help but think, if Xiaohong knew her daughter’s identity earlier, would she still think it was Cui Tigao?
A liar who deceived the world, a blind woman who was born blind.
Did Cui Ti climb Pei Xuan?
On the contrary, it was Pei Xuan who didn’t take care of his heart first.
“you are wrong.”
She opened her mouth quickly, and the servant girl called Yun Hong timidly grabbed the corner of her clothes.
“I asked for the marriage with the Xiningbo Mansion. Cui Ti was my favorite. It was my young Mu Ai who couldn’t help loving her and getting her. You shouldn’t try to hurt her. Knowing today, I regret bringing you into the mansion.”
“Mr. Lang!”
There is no crueler punishment than this.
Yun Hong’s body trembled in disbelief.
Pei Xuan didn’t give her a chance to try to save her, so he got up and left.
Ruthless as a gust of wind.
“Mr. Lang!”
“Stop shouting.”
Hao Zhong patted his sleeves impatiently: “Wait for the young lady to deal with you.”
She waved her hand, and the left and right servants dragged her back to the woodshed.
The door of the firewood room was closed with a bang, and the bell looked at the blue sky above him, and said bad luck in his heart.
“Little wolf?”
“exist!”
The grass and trees rustled, and a girl in black came out with a sword: “Yun Hong was instigated by someone to decide to attack the young lady. Don’t be deceived, sir.”
Pei Xuan didn’t move his eyebrows, as if he had been prepared for this: “Who instigated her?”
“The third girl of Xiningbo’s residence, Cui Dai. Cui Dai is dissatisfied with the elder sister’s marriage to a noble family, and wants to give the young lady a hard time, but she didn’t expect Yun Hong to be so courageous and dare to kill her.”
What about the Bocui family in Xining?
After a long silence, she whispered: “Understood.”
The girl in black saluted her respectfully, blinking her whereabouts ghostly in the long wind.
Pei Xuan took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and was full of thoughts about the ‘death in the dream’ that Cui Ti mentioned earlier.
Could it be Cui Dai who pushed Titi into the lotus pond?
If so, this is undoubtedly a useful clue, but it is really not a surprise. With a savage and brainless sister-in-law like Cui San, Pei Xuan suppressed his deep boredom and walked into the courtyard door with one leg.
In the afternoon, Bai Tang and Rao Liang stood by the young lady’s side.
On the big bed, Cui Ti fell into a chaotic long dream, cold sweat broke out on her forehead: “Don’t—”
“Young Madam?”
“Titi!”
Hearing the sound, Pei Xuan ran in in a hurry.
Baitang and Raoliang looked at each other, and walked away wisely, leaving the young couple to talk warmly.
“What’s the matter, did you have a nightmare?” Pei Xuan squeezed the handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her forehead.
Cui Ti panted slightly, seeing her, the sudden fear slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, her voice was full of weakness: “Xingguang.”
“I am here.”
Pei Xuan glanced at her, lowered his eyebrows and kissed her lips: “Don’t be afraid, the villain has been caught.”
“Why did she want to kill me?”
Thinking back to the thrill of being almost pushed into the pond again today, she feels wronged for no reason: In the past and present, she has never harmed anyone, so why do some people always think she is an eyesore, and they have to get rid of it and then hurry up?
“It’s not your fault.” She blamed herself secretly, hesitated, and told Cui Dai about instigating Yun Hong.
“It’s the third sister?”
“She may not have the intention of killing you, but she has a bad heart and a bad heart. We will not associate with her in the future.”
Cui Tiwu was lost in thought, thinking of the hopeless pain before death in his previous life, his spine felt chills.
“Okay, don’t think about it anymore, I will write a letter to Xining Bo Xiu, asking him to discipline his daughter carefully, and as for Yun Hong, you can do whatever you want.”
According to the style of the Xijing Xungui family, if he dared to murder his master, he would end up being beaten to death with a stick.
“At my disposal?”
“Yes, mother also means the same thing, just look at it.”
Cui Ti pondered for a while with a pale face: “Then turn her over to the government. Whatever happens, do so. If she has no intention of harming others, even if someone instigates her, how can she be easily tricked?”
She looked at Pei Xuan uncertainly, and whispered, “Am I dealing with this properly?”
Pei Xuan smiled and hugged her tightly: “Sure, just be kind.”
“Xinci, will you not be Mrs. Pei badly?”
“Won’t.”
“Then don’t commit murder, okay?”
Pei Xuan had nothing to do with her. After all, he felt pity for Cui Ti’s unreasonable disaster. He spent the whole afternoon talking with her to relieve boredom and ease the sudden shock.
Unexpectedly, the fright I received this time was more serious than I imagined.
Yunhong was sent to the government, and what awaited her was exile.
That night, Pei Xuan was sitting in the study with a pen, and the letter of accountability hadn’t been written yet, when Bai Tang ran over anxiously: “Lang Jun, it’s not good!”
Cui Ti suddenly had a high fever, and spent the rest of the night talking nonsense, calling out “Xingguang” and “husband” for a while, or crying silently with her brows furrowed, like a nightmare.
The boiled medicinal soup didn’t work for a long time, Pei Xuan was so anxious that he couldn’t help himself: “Mother, what should I do? Why hasn’t Titi woke up yet?”
Mrs. Pei comforted her softly.
At this time, a burst of copper bells rang in front of Pei’s house through the silent night.
