As soon as Pei Yue's sad voice came out, the hall became more and more silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Pei Cheng looked at Pei Yue's profile with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. He felt that this third child was really useless. Not to mention being abused by an old woman, he actually had the nerve to complain in front of his elders?

Have you not weaned?

I think my family is a wealthy martial arts family, with fists that can stand people and arms that can run horses. If I encounter such a desperate servant, I will kill him directly. How can I have the nerve to act like this?

Third child, third child, you are such a waste!

Pei Cheng sneered in his heart and became more and more impatient. If the old lady hadn't still been sitting there, he would have walked away to look for his playmates. But when he turned around and saw Pei Yun wandering around, he felt even more

It's extremely boring, the third child is a loser, and the second child is a nerd, useless, and they can't hold up the scene even if they fight hard.

Pei Jue looked at the back of her third brother with a confused look. Given her age and situation, she naturally didn't understand what the word abuse meant.

Among the four juniors, only Pei Ning looked at Pei Yue with tears in his eyes.

Although she is the daughter of the Pei family, she has no right or qualification to speak. Although Li also loves her, she is not allowed to speak for Pei Yue. Every time she raises her head, she will be scolded. After all, it is nothing more.

They were talking about spoiling a concubine and destroying his wife, and a bastard seizing a legitimate son. However, what Pei Ning couldn't understand was that Pei Yue's biological mother had passed away long ago, and his father was also very unhappy with the bastard. He had already reached this point, so why bother to treat him so harshly?

people?

Do you have to force people to death?

She didn't understand her elders' thoughts, she just felt sorry for Pei Yue.

Pei Taijun sat up straight and his expression became completely dull.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li became angry. She stared at Pei Yue with eyes like knives and said coldly: "Aunt Liu was sent by me to teach you the rules. Now that you say she abused you, are you trying to say what she did?"

Why is it all my orders?"

Pei Yue looked sad and said: "Although the child is young, he knows loyalty, justice and filial piety. How can he have such a rebellious mind? My wife respects my parents-in-law and cares for the children. She manages a huge palace in an orderly manner. It can be said that

Hard work pays off. As for Aunt Liu, she deceives my wife in front of my wife, but secretly she does it secretly. She beats and scolds me frequently. Recently, I was not allowed to eat, and she only gave me a pancake for two days. My child.

Starving to death is a trivial matter, but I don’t want to bring shame on my family, so I have no choice but to come to the old lady and my wife to ask for some food to satisfy my hunger.”

Mrs. Li was speechless by these words.

No matter what she thinks in her heart, Pei Yue is, after all, the bloodline of Dingguo Gong Pei Yuan, a hero of the Liang Dynasty, and he is still a thirteen-year-old child.

If he really starved to death in the Duke's Mansion, as long as a few words spread out, huge waves would be caused in the court.

By that time, the emperor's study room will be filled with memorials to impeach Dingyuan Bo Pei Rong!

Taijun Pei's face was filled with evil spirits and he said angrily: "Where's Mrs. Liu? Bring me that cheap maid!"

Pei Yue lowered his head and said, "Go back to the old lady, Grandma Liu should be in the small courtyard where her grandson used to live."

Pei Taijun's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Isn't she your nanny? Why isn't she with you?"

Pei Yue raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Li, with a hint of timidity in his eyes.

However, Taijun Pei didn't even look at the daughter-in-law who was born in a first-class prince's house. His old eyes were filled with coldness and he said, "Just say, I will make the decision for you today."

Pei Yue said sadly: "Mother Liu said that although my mother passed away many years ago, she must have left me money. If I don't hand over the money, she will not only deny me food, but also won't allow me to drink water. Grandson

I told my grandma that I really didn’t know what money I had, but she didn’t believe it and forced me to hand it over. She was so forced that my grandson could only lie and tell her that the money left by his mother was hidden in the small house where I used to live.

Under the bed in the courtyard bedroom, and then she left, so that the grandson had a chance to find his ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Taijun Pei looked at Pei Yue in disbelief and asked, "It has been thirteen years since your biological mother passed away, and that bitch still asks you for money?"

Pei Yue's eyes turned red and he nodded silently.

"Wow, wow!"

Pei Taijun slapped the armrest of the soft couch and said angrily to Mrs. Li: "Look, this is a good house you manage!"

Although Mrs. Li is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, in this world where filial piety is paramount, she would not dare to show off her temper in front of her parents-in-law. Although she hated Aunt Liu and Pei Yue half to death in her heart, she could only stand up and kneel down to apologize.

Taijun Pei ignored her and asked Pei Yue to explain the matter in detail.

Pei Yue no longer hesitated and told all the unbearable experiences in his memory. Of course, he still remembered Wen Yu's reminder just now and took Pei Rong and Li out. He only said that they were killed by servants in the mansion.

Abuse.

He was very eloquent, and what he said was true. After several words, those who heard him were in tears and those who saw him were sad. Not to mention Pei Ning, who had already cried loudly, and even the old lady's eyes were red.

Although he didn't mention Pei Rong and Li at all, who was Taijun Pei? How could he figure out the joints involved? Looking at Li who was kneeling there, she could barely hide the fierceness in her eyes. After letting her get up, she felt...

There is a calculation.

After about a stick of incense, when the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly solemn, Granny Liu was also brought over.

Pei Taijun ignored Mother Liu who knelt down and only asked the person who brought her here: "Where did you find it?"

The man replied honestly: "Back to the old lady, I found it in the third young master's courtyard."

Pei Taijun asked again: "What is she doing there?"

The man replied: "I don't know, I just saw Aunt Liu moving the third young master's bed and digging a few small holes in the ground. I don't know what she is looking for."

Pei Taijun sneered and said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a stupid and poisonous woman in my family, and she could be my brother's mentor. It really opened my eyes as an old woman. What are you waiting for? Pull her down and beat her to death!"

Everyone was shocked, Pei Yue had no expression on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Liu didn't know what happened. She was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground and shouted: "Old lady, spare your life! Madam, save me..."

Li said angrily: "If you do such evil things yourself, who can save you?"

Aunt Liu cried loudly: "Old lady, madam, I have been in the house for more than 20 years and have been working hard, but I don't know what crimes I have committed. Even if I die, I have to make this slave a sensible person!"

Pei Taijun frowned and said, "Are you saying that I punished you without teaching? Wen Yu, tell me!"

Although Wen Yu's eloquence was not as good as Pei Yue's, he was still concise and organized, and he quickly explained what happened.

Aunt Liu fell to the ground. Listening to Wen Yu's gentle and melodious voice, her heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cave. She looked at Pei Yue with her triangular eyes, full of fear and resentment, and quickly defended: "Old man

Madam, madam, this servant is unjust! It was the third young master who said that his aunt left him a sum of money and asked his servant to keep it for him and give it to him in the future, so he went to the small courtyard..."

Ms. Li asked with a stern face: "You still dare to quibble?"

Aunt Liu cried and screamed, and swore viciously: "In front of the old lady, I don't dare to lie even if I have ten thousand courages. If I lie, I will go to hell after death and have my tongue cut out by the evil spirit!"

I have to say that in this era, the theory of ghosts and gods is still very convincing. Seeing the old woman swearing like this, not to mention the Li family who hated Pei Yue to death, even Pei Taijun also showed hesitation.

Li said to Pei Yue indifferently: "Brother Yue, what do you say?"

Pei Yue turned around and looked at the old woman sitting on the ground, his eyes were red, and he said slowly: "Aunt Liu, what have you done to me over the years, do you really think it never happened? If it weren't for you, what happened today would not have happened.

Why are we so miserable? Even if there was no such thing as this money, based on the things you have done in the past, would our ancestors be able to spare you? I don’t know why I need to lie!"

He turned around to face Taijun Pei, with two lines of clear tears slowly flowing down his face, and said in a sad tone: "Old ancestor, please forgive your grandson for being rude."

Taijun Pei didn't know what he wanted to do, but he still nodded in agreement.

Pei Yue slowly rolled up his two sleeves and pulled them down to his shoulders, revealing two scarred and very thin arms. The scars on them were clearly old wounds, not recent scars.

The warm sunshine of late spring poured in through the doors and windows. When everyone looked at the scene in front of them, most people felt a chill in their hearts.

Pei Yue continued: "There are still many things on my body, but my grandson doesn't want to stain the eyes of my ancestors. These injuries are all due to this Aunt Liu. I don't know who in the family allows this to happen? Even if

How can a concubine be allowed to be so abused and mistreated by his servants?"
