When Pei Yue said those words with a calm face, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall were wonderful.

In today's era, filial piety is an extremely important factor in evaluating a person's moral standard. It is second only to loyalty to the country. In some cases, filial piety is even more important. For example, in the former Wei Dynasty, there was a civil servant who kept filial piety for his relatives and the court wanted to seize it.

His love returned but he was sternly rejected. Not only was this person not reprimanded by the court, but he became famous all over the world in an instant. Three years later, when the period of filial piety ended, he immediately entered the central government and became an important minister in charge of the world.

Although it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of Daliang, both the government and the public believe that Daliang inherited the old system of the former Wei Dynasty and was the orthodoxy of the world.

The former Wei Dynasty governed the world with loyalty and filial piety.

When a person becomes a well-known filial son, he will have an aura that can block most difficulties. As long as he does not commit crimes, even the powerful will not be able to bully him. Otherwise, no matter how prominent the powerful are, he will become the public enemy of the world.

.

On the contrary, if a person is considered unfilial, he will not only suffer the glare and insults from those around him, but will also lose all his future. If an official in the DPRK has such misdeeds, he will be impeached and dismissed from office, and no one will dare to go to jail.

Give a helping hand.

For Pei Yue, who was standing upright in Ding'an Hall at this time, he was about to be labeled as unfilial, and what awaited him would be unimaginable suffering and darkness.

Regardless of whether it is the Duke's palace or a humble family, for the birthday of an elder, especially a birthday that is an integer, the younger generation must personally prepare a birthday gift. This is etiquette and a rule. Of course, the birthday gift is the most important thing and does not necessarily require spending a large amount of money like Pei Cheng.

Get a treasure like a luminous pearl. For the children of ordinary families, a poem, shoes, socks and clothes can be used as birthday gifts. But for Dingguo Duke's mansion, even if the standards are higher, it doesn't have to be too outrageous and extravagant.

, just do your best.

As long as you do this, you will be a good and filial child.

If this is not done——

Just look at the eyes of all the ministers in the hall looking at Pei Yue at this moment.

Surprise, disdain, contempt and even anger, without any positive emotions.

Even the few kind-hearted women who were relatively familiar with the affairs of Duke Dingguo and had sympathy for a concubine like Pei Yue had deep disappointment in their eyes at this moment.

He didn't even bother to prepare a simple birthday gift, which shows that he is a filthy and unfilial person. What else is there to praise about such a person?

Pei Yue felt these glances, and at this moment he felt even more helpless.

Today's situation is clear, and it is actually not complicated.

First of all, it must be Li's secret plan. There is no doubt about this, even though the woman has only said one sentence since Pei Yue came in.

Pei Yue had already noticed something was wrong when the Qin family asked Pei Cheng to display birthday gifts on the spot. Now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that someone must have found an excuse to invite the three of them to the banquet in the back house just now.

At this point, it is most likely the Qin family. After the three of them come in, they will find an opportunity to target Pei Cheng. With the temperament of this elder brother, he will never think of so many things. Even if he thought of it, he would have no reason to refuse.

I can't say that I doubt that the third child has not prepared a birthday gift, so I won't bring it out.

Pei Yue thought to himself that he did not have such a great reputation, and the friendship between the two was not that great.

When Pei Cheng presented the birthday gift, the next thing would be a matter of course, because neither Pei Yun nor he could pretend that nothing happened.

Then, Pei Yue was embarrassed in front of everyone.

From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Li herself didn't need to say anything or do anything. I think this Qin, who had always come forward, was the chess piece arranged by her.

She could clean herself up, but at most she would be responsible for not educating the bastard well, and she had plenty of ways to quell this public opinion. The outside world would only point the finger at herself. In the future, he would bear such an unfilial charge, he thought.

Nothing works!

What a vicious strategy.

What an insidious killing tactic.

At this moment, Pei Yue thought about one thing clearly, that is, after Grandma Liu was killed by Taijun Pei, Mrs. Li didn't do anything in the past two days. He was a little proud at first, thinking that this woman was nothing more than this. She used to bully a timid person.

The cowardly concubine was extremely proud. When faced with her style of flipping the table when she saw the right moment, wouldn't she still be at a disadvantage?

In the current situation of filial piety, even if Taijun Pei is still here, she can't change the world.

However, he quietly set up such a murderous plot and used filial piety to govern filial piety, but he changed hands and put him in such a dangerous situation.

The reason why Pei Yue felt helpless was that in his mind, birthday gifts were really not a concept.

In previous lives, family birthdays were nothing more than having dinner together, then cutting the birthday cake and singing happy birthday.

How can family members need to prepare separate gifts for each other?

At least Pei Yue did not have such an experience, and the original owner's memory was just a backup in his mind. He did not actively search for it, so naturally it would not pop up to remind him, so that he had no defense. Even if this era pays attention to etiquette,

He thought it was just a few kowtows to the old lady.

Those who were kind to him in the house had no idea that the third young master was a fake, so they would not remind him of such a common sense issue.

The only person who knows that he has not prepared a birthday gift is Taohua.

Thinking of that yellow girl, Pei Yue couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. Before going out in the morning, he was still giving her common science knowledge. Unexpectedly, before the day passed, it was his turn to be taught the common sense of this world.

Fortunately, he is a person who has experienced major events. When Pei Cheng introduced the origin of the luminous pearl, he had already forced himself to calm down and began to think about countermeasures. Although he still had no clue at the moment, Pei Yue understood that there should be no such thing at this time.

If you deliberately conceal anything, otherwise Li will seize the flaw and pursue you fiercely, and you will not have any chance to make a comeback.

Did you say that you accidentally lost your birthday gift? Or did you just find something as a birthday gift for the old lady’s 60th birthday?

This not only humiliates the intelligence of these people in the hall, but also gives a knife to their opponents.

At this moment, how could he still look down on Mrs. Li?

So when Mr. Qin brought the conversation to him, he honestly admitted without hesitation that he had not prepared any birthday gifts.

But those who are interested may still recall that what Pei Yue said was "I didn't prepare birthday gifts like the eldest brother and second brother" because he knew very well that he had to come up with different birthday gifts in a very short time, and he couldn't really prepare everything.

No.

"Don't underestimate any opponent!"

Pei Yue warned himself secretly in his heart, looked up, and his eyes happened to meet Li's.

The head wife's expression was slightly complicated, with some disappointment, some shock, and some self-blame. She played the image of a legitimate mother who failed to discipline her bastard son well.

He's also a good actor.

However, Pei Yue still saw the pride and ridicule in her eyes.

Li is certainly qualified to be proud.

That day, Aunt Liu was ordered to be killed by Taijun Pei. Although she did not plead for mercy, she was still so angry that she broke several precious porcelain vases with her own hands after she returned. This was the most rude moment in the eighteen years since she was married to the Duke's Mansion. If only

As for Aunt Liu, she can tolerate it temporarily and look for opportunities to deal with Pei Yue slowly in the future. Even if Taijun Pei decides to let Pei Yue go out and live another life, she can still tolerate it here.

However, Taijun Pei asked Pei Yue to greet guests at the front door on his birthday. This made Li extremely angry, but also filled her heart with deep worry and even some fear.

What does the old lady want to do? Doesn’t she know what this move means?

Look around the noble houses in Kyoto, whose bastard is qualified to welcome guests at the front door on behalf of the head of the family?

So she came up with such a plan and stayed completely out of it. Even if Pei Taijun knew that it was her plan, so what? In the end, there was no evidence to prove her. Even with the Qin family, she only used the power of her natal family to seduce her.

After all, it was just a few hints. The only thing she arranged was to let her confidants in the house secretly keep an eye on Pei Yue's small courtyard. Even if Pei Yue was really preparing a birthday gift, she would still have a way to prevent him from doing it!

Now that the work is done, Pei Yue's reputation has been ruined by himself. Wouldn't this be better than killing him?

The fruits of victory are within easy reach, and of course she can be proud of them.

However, Mrs. Li did not let her joy go to her head because she wanted to completely destroy Pei Yue.

The atmosphere in the main hall was about to solidify, and when Pei Yue was still thinking hard about countermeasures, he saw the lady in charge suddenly walked down the hall, knelt down in front of Pei Yue towards Mr. Pei, and sighed: "Mother, this matter

It is the daughter-in-law's fault. After all, Yue'er has been raised by her since he was a child and has been taught by her. Today, he made such a big mistake and brought shame to his family. It is all the daughter-in-law's responsibility. In the past, although my daughter-in-law thought Yue'er was a bit naughty,

But I thought it was a boy's nature, so I shouldn't restrict him too much, but I didn't expect it to reach this point."

She looked back at Pei Yue and said sadly: "Yue'er, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the old lady!"

Then he looked at Taijun Pei and begged: "Every fault is the daughter-in-law's fault. Please punish my daughter-in-law according to the family rules and don't hurt Yue'er. He is still a child."

The women in the hall looked at Mrs. Li's sad face, and suddenly felt endless empathy. When they looked at Pei Yue, the angry eyes made him a little frightened.

Taijun Pei looked dull and did not speak.

Pei Yue was frightened and felt an inappropriate admiration for the woman in front of him.
