The night breeze blew, and Song Shuwan's hair and clothes fluttered. Everyone in Qingfeng Court focused their attention on her and the obese child a few steps away.
Silence spread, and Song Shuwan sighed: "Second Young Master wants to joke, you can go find someone else. I don't have time to play with Second Young Master, Baicao, send Second Young Master back to Qingzhuyuan."
Baicao saluted and then stepped forward to catch Pei Ji.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ji suddenly raised his hand and threw a porcelain bottle on the ground. He heard a "bang" and a faint fragrance spread.
Song Shuwan's expression changed, this fragrance...
"Cover your mouth and nose."
She reacted quickly, but no matter how fast she was, she could not spread the medicine powder faster. With a "bang" sound, the Baicao closest to Pei Ji fell to the ground. Then the fragrance was blown away by the night wind, and the guards in the Qingfeng Courtyard also came one after another.
Fell down.
A malicious smile appeared on Pei Ji's face: "I'm too lazy to joke with you, a pariah. Come on, chop off her hands and feet and gouge out her eyes!"
Song Shuwan staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground with a thump. The porcelain bottle that Pei Ji smashed on the ground should contain the soft sutra powder that Mrs. Xin Guo Gong had used before.
Why did that thing pass from the hands of Mrs. Xinguo to Pei Ji? And why were Pei Ji and the guards he brought not affected at all?
"Prince Princess, I'm offended."
Several guards came forward, and one of them raised his foot and gave Song Shuwan a heavy blow on her left leg. The severe pain almost made Song Shuwan scream out.
"Second Young Master, I am the Crown Prince's concubine. If you act so cruelly today, you are not afraid of the Crown Prince coming back, huh!"
Song Shuwan's left leg received another blow. She curled up in pain, and fine cold sweat slid down her face. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't move at all.
Pei Ji raised his chin: "What can that good-for-nothing Pei Huan do to me? This is the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and I will be the Marquis of Dingyuan from now on. If you are so close to that good-for-nothing, then both of you will become a good-for-nothing. This is called a good match, and you still fight."
What? Cut off her hands and feet!"
Song Shuwan lay on the ground and watched helplessly as the guard walked toward her with a knife.
It was her negligence. After not seeing each other for a while, she actually forgot how vicious a person Pei Ji was. Could it be that she had no choice but to die here tonight?
"Ding--"
The moment the blade fell, there was a crisp sound of impact. Song Shuwan opened her eyes and saw several more figures in Qingfengyuan, and the most conspicuous among them was a man sitting in a wheelchair.
"Oh, this Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion is really lively. It's rare that I came to visit, and I actually saw my brother-in-law cutting off my sister-in-law's hands and feet. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the rules of Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion are really unusual!"
Wen Yixiu walked out from behind, waving the folding fan lightly in his hand, seemingly teasing, but his eyes were full of disdain: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you invite the Marquis to take a look at such a big thing?"
A secret guard reacted and ran away quickly.
Not long after, an angry voice sounded: "Pei Huan, don't touch your brother!"
Before Mr. Hou arrived, the voice entered the courtyard first.
At that time, Song Shuwan had regained her strength under the acupuncture of Han Sanzhen. However, her left leg was severely kicked twice and it was already bruised.
In the courtyard, Pei Ji and the guards he brought were all gagged, tied and kneeling on the ground.
The Marquis rushed into the yard, and his first reaction was to untie the rope.
"Master Marquis, these people were ordered to be kept here by the Crown Prince. If you want to let them go, you have to ask the Crown Prince to speak." An Yi blocked Master Hou's hand with a long knife, with a cold look in his eyes.
The Marquis suddenly said secretly: "This is Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, how dare you to be disrespectful to the master?"
He said, and waved his hand to give An Yi a slap in the face.
At this time, Pei Huan said: "It turns out that the Marquis also knows that guards cannot be disrespectful to their master."
The Marquis' hand paused: "The master is heaven, and even the guards are just servants. Respecting the master is inevitable."
"Guards are servants, so respecting their master is inevitable?"
A laughing voice repeated the words of the Marquis, and Wen Yixiu walked out of the room: "What the Marquis said is indeed reasonable, but Wen has something that he doesn't understand, and I would like to ask the Marquis to clarify his confusion."
When the Marquis saw Wen Yixiu, he almost couldn't help but ask, "Why are Mr. Wen here?"
Wen Yixiu smiled: "Wen and the prince were out drinking, so we stopped by to sit down. But it doesn't matter. Wen would like to ask the Marquis if the elders and the younger are in order in the Hou family?"
The Marquis's eyes flashed slightly. He intuitively felt that there was something wrong with Wen Yixiu's question, but she couldn't avoid it.
Thinking about it, Mr. Hou nodded and said: "Of course there is an order of hierarchy between the elder and the younger."
Wen Yixiu looked sincere: "Since there is an order of hierarchy between elder and younger, what does the Marquis think of the brother-in-law's intention to cut off my sister-in-law's hands and feet?"
Mr. Hou: "..."
He subconsciously wanted to see Pei Ji, but just as he was about to turn around, he held back: "The family affairs of the Hou Mansion have nothing to do with Mr. Wen, right?"
Wen Yixiu unfolded his fan: "The family affairs of the Hou Mansion really have nothing to do with Wen. Wen is just a little curious. Alas, it's getting late now. Wen has to go back to the mansion. I'd like to take my leave, eldest son."
Pei Huan remained silent. After Wen Yixiu left, he knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair to attract the Marquis's attention.
"I don't care how you want to protect Pei Ji, but if he attacks my people today, don't even think about leaving Qingfengyuan intact."
The Marquis' face instantly darkened: "He is your brother, Pei Huan, what are you going to do to your brother?"
Pei Huan looked gloomy: "My mother only gave birth to me, so where did my brother come from? If you want to take him away, I have no objection, but if he wants to leave Qingfengyuan, he must leave something behind. I think his hands and feet are...
good."
The Marquis swayed a little: "He is the future Marquis of Dingyuan. How can he inherit the position of the Marquis without his limbs? Pei Huan, don't be rude!"
"The Marquis made a mistake. The future Marquis Dingyuan will not be the second son, but the heir apparent."
Song Shuwan spoke out, holding Fei Yuan's hand and limping to the back of the wheelchair. Her clear eyes fell on the Marquis like stars: "The elders and the younger should be respected in an orderly manner. This is what the Marquis just said. You
Now that you have accepted this sentence, you must do it. The eldest son is still here, and the position of the prince will not be the second son!"
The words "concubine and second son" made the Marquis's face darken.
"That's nonsense. His mother is the head wife of this prince. How can he say that he is a bastard?"
Song Shuwan crossed her arms across her chest, and a cold look flashed in her eyes: "The eldest son, the second son, and the Marquis also know the key. What will happen to him if word spreads that he wants to kill his sister-in-law today?"
The courtyard fell into silence. The Marquis wanted to speak several times but was unable to close his mouth.
After a while, he pointed at Pei Huan and said, "What happened today was your plan, wasn't it? You just want to destroy your brother and take the position of Marquis of Dingyuan!"
Pei Huan said calmly: "He was the one who broke into Qingfeng Yuan, and he was the one who took action. Why do you say it was me who destroyed him? An Yi, take action."
Mr. Hou's eyes were about to burst: "Let me see who dares, Pei Huan, don't forget that your mother's relics are still in my hands. If you want it, let your brother go immediately!"
