In Xinuan Pavilion, all the pretty ladies looked unhappy.

Fortunately, they are all ladies and they are very well-educated, so no one said bad words. At most, they just sighed and said: "This is really... why is it like this."

This is the sentiment of almost everyone. Even if you are an unloved concubine, Mrs. Tai asked you to come out to greet guests on her sixtieth birthday. It can be seen that the old man is still very good to you, a concubine. How can you be so unfilial?

?

After Mrs. Li came forward and said that, Pei Yue's impression in everyone's minds suddenly became extremely bad, and a girl said angrily: "If this boy were in my house, I would break his legs!

"

As expected, he was born into a family of military officers, and even though he is from a daughter's family, he is much more ruthless and straightforward.

Peining's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "What did you say?"

The girl looked stunned. Obviously she could tell that the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo didn't like what she said, but the person speaking outside is your biological mother. Shouldn't you think so? It's just that the identities of the two parties are not equal.

, her family ranks at the bottom among the founding princes, and cannot be compared with the Dingguo Duke's mansion. She immediately forced a smile and said: "Sister Pei, am I wrong?"

Pei Ning chuckled softly, Qiu Shui's long eyes were filled with sadness, and he shook his head, as if he didn't want to argue with this person, and just said: "What do you know?"

She stood up and looked at Liangyan standing next to her, her eyes falling on her hands.

Liangyan was a little hesitant at this moment, he didn't dare to step forward, his eyes showed a look of begging.

Pei Ning lost her usual gentle demeanor and said without any doubt: "Bring it here!"

Liang Yan had tears in his eyes, but he couldn't resist Pei Ning's cold gaze. He stepped forward and handed the small box in Pei Ning's hand, but said: "Miss..."

At this moment, how could she not know what Pei Ning wanted to do? When she was in the flower hall, Pei Ning suddenly ordered her to go back and get this small box. The maid was still a little strange because she knew that the box was prepared by the young lady for the old lady.

Birthday gift, but it’s a lady’s nature

She is easy-going and indifferent, and never strives for the limelight. Why did she go to get the birthday gift at this time? Only now did she understand that the young lady had guessed what was going to happen next when the old lady ordered someone to invite the three young masters.

, she wanted to eliminate the trouble for the third young master!

However, even if she is just a maid, she still knows that the wife must be in charge of this matter. If you go out like this, miss, where will you put your wife? She is your biological mother, and you want to go against her. Do you want to be with your biological mother from now on?

Did the mother break up?

Pei Ning ignored the tearful maid, ignored the surprised looks of the young ladies, took the box and walked towards the main hall.

However, her hands that had been trembling slightly showed her extremely complicated mood at the moment.

Mrs. Li loves her very much. At any other time, she would not choose to stand on the opposite side of her mother. But even if she is as indifferent as she is, she also knows what is happening in the main hall at this moment and what it means to Pei Yue.

That is to completely destroy this third brother! Go forward

In the past few years, Pei Yue was in a miserable situation, and she could only help secretly, even thinking that everything would get better in a few years when the third brother became an adult. She didn't understand that the third brother was already in such a miserable condition, and just now the old lady would also

The title in the palace was promised to the eldest brother, why did the mother still go to this step?

How cruel...

Is it really his mother who resorted to such cruel methods?

The girl's face turned pale and her eyes were a little distracted. Even she herself didn't know how she walked into the main hall. Then she knelt down next to Mr. Li amidst the surprised eyes of the whole hall. Holding the small box, she said to Pei Taijun: "Old ancestor,

The third brother has never experienced such a scene, so he was obviously frightened. In fact, he had already prepared a birthday gift for the ancestor and kept it with his granddaughter. He probably was so frightened that he forgot about it."

As soon as he said this, the faces of all the ministers became a little strange.

They could naturally tell that Pei Ning was helping their younger brother out of trouble, but they couldn't point it out openly. After all, they were family friends and were still outsiders, so it was not easy for them to interfere in the family affairs of Duke Dingguo's house.

Pei Taijun still didn't speak, but her face softened a little. She looked at Pei Ning with pity and nodded slightly.

Li's face was so ugly that it was scary. She had thought about everyone's reactions over the past two days and prepared a way to deal with it. However, she didn't expect that just when she was about to achieve her goal, her precious daughter would suddenly do something like this. Although

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what the truth of the matter is, but this also means that Pei Yue has survived the current difficulties safely, which is an ending she cannot accept.

But she did not reprimand her daughter in a hurry, because in this situation, if Pei Ning was accused of lying, it would be a devastating blow to her daughter's family's reputation. Although she hated Pei Yue, she didn't want her daughter to do it.

Buried with.

She was just waiting, waiting for Pei Yue to climb up the pole. At that time, even if she had to break her skin, she would step Pei Yue into hell in front of everyone.

Pei Taijun was silent for a long time, and finally said to the three people kneeling in the hall: "You all get up."

Then he said to the guests: "The house is restless, which makes all your family friends laugh."

Everyone hurriedly said: "Madam, it's just a misunderstanding. It's a joke. Don't say that."

As for whether it was a misunderstanding or not, who among the people present could not tell the difference?

At this moment, Pei Cheng suddenly slapped his head and smiled at Pei Taijun: "Old ancestor, I just want to say that the third child is not that kind of dirty seed with no filial piety. Don't you think he is preparing a birthday gift?"

Mrs. Li felt a little tired.

Although Pei Yue had just thought of a countermeasure at this moment, his heart was still heavy, and he was also made to laugh a little by the elder brother's slow reflex arc.

Co-author: We have been fighting overtly and covertly for so long. Do you want to understand what's going on?

This really can't be blamed on Pei Cheng. The eldest young master was extremely angry at first, thinking that although you, third brother, are a bit useless, you can't be so ridiculous, right? Even if you have no money, you won't write a birthday poem to the old lady? Okay.

Well, I heard that you haven’t read a few books and it’s hard for you to write poems, so why don’t you just copy the Classic of Filial Piety like the second child?

It wasn't until Mr. Li came off the stage and told the verdict of Pei Yue's bad conduct that he gradually came back to his senses and suddenly understood why his mother specifically asked his cronies to tell him last night that if the old lady asked someone to find him today, he would be

Bring the birthday gifts you prepared.

So that’s what happened.

Pei Cheng didn't quite agree with his mother's methods. Not to mention that Pei Yue's performance today made him look slightly sideways and admire him a little. Even if the third child was too brave and wanted to fight with me, he would have to do whatever he wanted.

Using this strategy, I can beat him into a dead dog even if I give him one hand and one foot!

Faced with the absolute disparity in strength, a little scheming is nothing?

This was Pei Cheng's pride, so he pretended to be dumbfounded and said that for Pei Yue.

Seeing that his brothers and sisters were speaking, Pei Yun could no longer stand by and said, "Old ancestor, since the eldest sister said this, then you should stop blaming my mother. She doesn't know these inside stories either."

He was speaking from Li's point of view, but the other meaning behind his words was to save Pei Ning and help Pei Yue overcome this difficulty.

Regarding Pei Yue, he sees further than Li. This third child is not a good person. If he really can't bear to speak, he should be physically eliminated instead of using this trick to completely form a deadly feud.

Don’t you see, do those big thieves who come roaring to break down families and exterminate families need a reputation? Are those thieves who manipulate the world’s power afraid of a bad reputation?

History tells us that reputation can be dressed up at will.

The atmosphere in the main hall changed again. Everyone looked at the young man Pei Yue with less contempt and anger than before. In any case, the words of support from the three brothers and sisters of the Pei family were extremely beneficial to this concubine. Being able to be so respectful to each other as brothers and sisters, think about it.

He is not the kind of person who has no king or father.

Pei Yue walked up to Pei Ning, his eyes were warm and touched, and his smile was kind and calm, as if he was not the one in danger at the moment. He only heard him say in a very gentle voice: "Sister, thank you, it's okay."

Hearing this call, Pei Ning burst into tears instantly.

Pei Yue has a tall and straight posture. Although he is not tall, he has a condensed demeanor that is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He attracts everyone's attention as soon as he opens his mouth: "Old ancestor, my grandson has a few words from his heart. I wonder if you can tell me?"

Before Pei Ning appeared, he had no chance to speak in the face of public anger, but now, since Pei Yue is not such a bad person, he can still defend himself a few words.

Taijun Pei nodded and said, "Let's talk about it."

Pei Yue comforted the worried Pei Ning with his eyes, and said calmly: "I said before that my grandson did not prepare birthday gifts like the eldest and second brothers. This is true. The eldest sister said that the gifts she prepared were placed with her. In fact,

It's just out of filial piety towards my wife and concern for my grandson, my younger brother. The eldest sister's care makes my grandson feel grateful.

Although she was agitated, the responsibility could not be placed on her as a matter of course. Today, in front of all the elders, the grandson honestly admitted that there was indeed no birthday gift prepared for the ancestor. It was not that the grandson did not have filial piety, but in fact, there was a reason for the incident. He should have waited until later.

Confronting the ancestors, now it seems that it is better to explain it in detail in order to clarify the misunderstanding."

He spoke clearly and calmly, and his calm voice echoed in the hall, making everyone gradually calm down.

Pei Yue did not look at Mr. Li next to him. After figuring out the whole thing, he thought more deeply than the woman. In any case, he could not use Pei Ning's words to smooth over the matter, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

When news of what happened today came out, it was just Pei Ning who took the blame for him. In essence, he was still an unfilial bastard.

What's more, he glanced at the pale Pei Ning. A man should do something and refrain from doing something. How can he let the reputation of someone who is kind to him be damaged?

She dared to come forward at this time and win a chance for herself, which was good enough.
