"Although I am just a concubine in the family, my ancestors, master, wife, and all my brothers and sisters have treated me very well. I believe all the ladies can see that today. Apart from other things, I am the only concubine in the family.

When I welcome guests in front of the main entrance of Duke Dingguo's mansion, I know that my family does not look down upon me. Like my eldest and second brothers, I also have a nanny by my side. This person's surname is Liu, and I always call her Aunt Liu."

Pei Yue spoke eloquently, and his tone was calm and calm in the eyes of everyone in the hall. His demeanor was really eye-catching.

Hearing him mention Aunt Liu, Mrs. Li's expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, she was blocked by Pei Taijun's stern eyes.

Pei Yue seemed not to notice her expression, and smiled at everyone: "You may not know, this Aunt Liu was sent by my wife to teach me etiquette and rules. At the beginning, she did her best, although she was strict.

I knew it was for my own good. But as time went by, people's minds changed easily, and her discipline towards me gradually lost its sense of proportion. From random scolding to humiliation and beating, she bullied me because I was young and weak, and even abused me in every possible way.

To me."

He said it very easily, but looking at his thin body, everyone believed him.

However, this is a scandal of Duke Dingguo's mansion. Is it appropriate for you to clean it up like this?

What's more, what does this have to do with the fact that you didn't prepare a birthday gift?

To everyone's surprise, Pei Taijun did not stop the young man from continuing to speak.

Pei Yue glanced at Pei Taijun and found that there was encouragement in her eyes. He didn't know if the old lady had guessed what he wanted to say or if she really felt pity. He couldn't tell for a while and had to follow his own assumptions.

He continued: "There are differences between concubines and concubines. This is true in any house. I have understood this truth since I was sensible. Of course, the Liu family also understood it, so they treated me even more harshly, making it almost impossible for me to survive."

In the Xinuan Pavilion, all the girls looked at each other. Apparently they had never imagined that this young man's fate would be so miserable. Several tender-hearted girls had sympathy in their eyes.

The wife of the Duke of Qi, who was sitting on the high platform with Pei Taijun, frowned slightly. This person was Yin Dao's grandmother and Yin Wei's mother. She only heard her ask: "Brother, why does this Liu family do this?"

Pei Yue said respectfully: "Go back to Madam, because this Mrs. Liu is Madam's confidant."

This sentence was groundbreaking, and the information contained in it was so rich that several imperial officials changed their expressions on the spot.

Is he going to accuse his aunt mother of being unkind on the spot?

The key point is that these people who came to pay their respects really don't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

However, Pei Yue did not wait for the commotion to continue to expand, and said seriously: "Elders, please don't think that I am accusing my wife. There is a kind of villain in this world who likes to speculate on the thoughts of those in power and secretly carry out despicable means. Liu

This is the case with Mrs. She thought that my wife wanted to deal with me, so she tortured and abused me in a self-righteous way, but she didn't know how stupid this behavior was. There are two reasons. The first is that my wife is kind-hearted and has a good reputation in the eighteen years since she joined the Duke of Ding.

Outside the home, I usually respect my parents-in-law and show pity to my servants, and would not resort to such harsh tactics. Secondly, I am just a concubine and have no right to inherit the family title. I have no fundamental conflict with my eldest and second brothers. How could my wife target me?

?No matter in terms of temperament or motivation, my wife would not have such thoughts, so I said that all this is Liu's own decision and has nothing to do with others."

What he said made everyone nod frequently. It was reasonable and well-founded. It neither exaggerated the facts nor deliberately beautified it.

The smile in Taijun Pei's eyes gradually grew stronger.

Only Mrs. Li's face was dull. She didn't know what to think when she heard Pei Yue praise her.

The wife of the Duke of Qi said approvingly: "It's hard for you. It's not easy for a young man of such a young age to be able to figure out these truths. He is much better than my Dao brother."

Pei Yue bowed and said: "These are the principles taught by the elders in the family. I don't dare to take credit."

The wife of the Duke of Qi nodded and said to Taijun Pei: "Sister, it's not easy for this child."

Pei Taijun sighed: "This child is too sincere. He blames me for not taking care of the affairs of the house in these years. He didn't know that he had such an evil slave. He is really ashamed of his ancestors. If he hadn't been unable to bear it and came to me,

I don’t know how much I will suffer.”

Pei Yue smiled slightly, his eyes were calm, and said: "Ancestor, please forgive my grandson for being so presumptuous, I have to retort to you. From a small family to a large country, there will always be traitors. This is inevitable. Today

All the elders are here, isn’t there a family that doesn’t have an incompetent servant? Emperor Gaozu was so wise and wise, and he conquered this magnificent country, didn’t he also set up a supervisory censor, in order to catch the bad guys in the court? No one is a saint.

, let alone being unable to see, it is normal to be blinded by evil by chance. The Pei family has an evil slave like Liu, which is naturally infuriating, but under the auspices of the ancestors and his wife, she could not escape and was killed with a stick.

The fate of my family shows that my family's integrity has not damaged the reputation of my ancestors at all."

All the imperial edicts said one after another: "Brother, what you said is absolutely true. Whose family has not produced a few evil slaves? If they find it, they will be beaten to death."

Pei Yue nodded, looked at one of the people sitting in the hall, and said with a smile: "Such smart little people are really seeking their own destruction. Madam Chang, are you right?"

The face of Zhenyuan Bo Changsi's wife Qin was as red as a monkey's butt. No matter how stupid she was, she could tell who the young man was talking about, and he almost pointed at her nose and called her a villain!

But who could she hide what she did today?

It wasn't obvious before, but after Pei Yue told what happened to Grandma Liu, the others also came to their senses and glanced at Qin's beautiful face, with a hint of disgust and contempt.

Seeing that Mrs. Qin was in great embarrassment, Taijun Pei looked at Pei Yue angrily and said, "It's great that you think so. It's not in vain that I feel sorry for you, but I have made you suffer a lot."

Although Pei Yue doesn't like to pick on people's wits, at this time and in this atmosphere, he has to throw out this sentence: "Old ancestors and grandson believe that when heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard on his will, his muscles and bones, and his hunger.

His skin is empty, his actions are chaotic, and without tempering, it is difficult to become a great person. My grandson dare not say that he will become a great person in the future, but today he has the courage to tell the truth in this class. In fact, he is still

He was trained under Liu's poisonous hands."

The last sentence made everyone laugh, and Pei Taijun also laughed and said: "What do you mean, this is still the credit of that evil slave? When I ordered people to punish her that day, why didn't you stop it?"

Pei Yue thought for a moment, scratched his head and said, "That's definitely not possible. She beat me too hard."

Pei Taijun sighed: "So this is why you don't have time to prepare birthday gifts?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Yes, what this person did is really bad, so my grandson won't go into details, so as not to taint the ears of the elders. Two days ago, my grandson told his ancestors about Liu's affairs because he was about to

It was the ancestor's birthday, and the grandson was really afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he turned the table over. During the past two days, the grandson was also thinking hard about what kind of birthday gift he should prepare for his ancestor. Fortunately, he finally thought of a grandson.

The way you can do it.”

Seeing that he finally introduced the topic, not only everyone in the main hall, but also the girls in Xinan Pavilion pricked up their ears.

Pei Yue looked up at the old lady and saw that her increasingly old face was full of gentleness and compassion. He flicked the hem of his sleeves and knelt down. Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down, and he said in a deep voice: "Old ancestor, in

I have great kindness. He first rescued me from that evil slave, and then gave me fertile farmland in Zhuangzi as the basis of survival. After my grandson leaves the house, he will stay behind closed doors in Zhuangzi for three years, without leaving home, growing up day and night.

The ancestors pray for blessings, and I only hope that my ancestors will have a long life, no disease, no disaster, and a lifetime of joy."

He was extremely serious and kowtowed to Taijun Pei three times with a pious attitude.

In any case, this old man gave him enough warmth and kindness. Without the tacit consent of the old lady, where would he have had the chance to talk in the hall? A sentence of "Such a rebellious and unfilial person will be dragged down and driven out of the house" can sever him.

of vitality.

Looking at the young man who raised his head and cried silently, Taijun Pei couldn't help but have wet eyes, and his voice was slightly sad: "You are older and more sensible, so I let you go out and live another life. I also hope that you will not be regarded as a concubine."

You can break out of your own world. After you get to Zhuangzi, remember to take care of yourself and come back when you have free time. Good boy, get up, I like this gift of yours very much."

Pei Yue stood up and raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and said to the emperor a little shyly: "I'm shameless, please forgive me, elders."

The wife of the Duke of Qi sighed: "Your pure and filial heart is really rare."

Based on the status of this lady, this sentence completely eliminated Pei Yue's worries. From now on, no one will criticize him on the basis of filial piety.

Seeing that the matter had finally come to an end, the imperial officers looked at Pei Yue a little differently. Although he was only thirteen years old and a concubine, these people had very good eyesight and could not see the young man's calm demeanor.

It’s by no means simple, and maybe it will soar into the sky in the future.

Only Li's and Qin's faces were not good-looking, and the latter was even more tormented.

Haven't you seen Pei Taijun glance at her coldly several times?

Pei Yue didn't say anything more. Let alone Li, there was always an account to be settled in the future.

And that bitch of the Qin family, what she said just now was just a reminder. She almost killed him today, but she would not let it go without a word of ridicule. If the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion does not take off the plaque on the gate in the future, then he will have traveled through time in vain.

Once!

Everyone had their own thoughts, joys and sorrows, so they did not express them one by one. They only said that in the Xinuan Pavilion, a beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old lowered her head slightly, moved her lips, and whispered what Pei Yue said: "

When Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions..."
