Seeing their eyes twinkling with resentment in their eyes, Zhou Chen continued unhurriedly: "However, it has been so many years since this happened. Besides, your surname is also Pei. The young lady must take into account the face of the head of the family.
, so if you can return the Xinruan you took away, the young lady will definitely be lenient."
Pei Wenlang said with a sullen face: "So that's what Butler Zhou meant, but all the fines back then have been spent, and we can't get them back even if we want to!"
Zhou Shen said: "How could the young lady know how much you took away back then? If you bring back some symbolically, as long as they are genuine, the young lady will not think that you have repented and changed your mind, and will definitely not have any hatred towards you anymore.
, when the little lady gives you the antidote directly, so that you can avoid the pain of this poisonous disease, you can return to your hometown with peace of mind and live a prosperous life. Isn’t that enough?"
Everyone in the Pei family: "..."
Their eyes lit up, yes, why didn't they think of it? This little stinky girl was only a young girl when she was born, and they had never even seen her. How much hatred could she have?
Let alone know what they took away?
It would be great if they took part of it back and coaxed the antidote into the hands of the smelly girl! At least they don't have to live such a miserable life.
Of course, they have other ideas in mind.
Is that stinky girl really that easy to fool?
Pairs of eyes looked at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen looked like he suddenly realized it, and said: "I can't guarantee this, but I can give you some hints on the little lady. If it works, I will tell you the good news!"
Everyone in the Pei family's concubine family expressed their thanks one after another as if they saw hope.
Zhou Chen left slowly amid a chorus of thanks.
The Pei family members originally wanted to discuss it, but another wave of pain swept over them, and they just ignored it and groaned in pain.
After Zhou Chen left, he immediately went to Pei Ji's residence in the main courtyard.
Mu Qingyu has been in the main hospital for the past two days. Since Pei Ji's poison had to be removed with silver needles and decoction, Mu Qingyu has been observing from the side.
She is now glad that she is proficient in medical skills. Otherwise, facing such poison, no one would be at ease.
When the last silver needle was pulled out, Mu Qingyu let out a long breath.
The poison has been removed.
However, grandpa is getting older and still needs to take good care of himself.
She added ingredients to soothe the nerves and induce sleep in the soup, allowing Pei Ji to repair his body in his sleep. Pei Ji hasn't woken up yet, but after taking his pulse, he can see that everything is fine!
She gently tucked Pei Ji into bed, walked out the door, and saw Zhou Chen walking around in the courtyard outside.
Mu Qingyu walked over and shouted: "Grandpa Zhou!"
Zhou Chen hurriedly came over and saluted: "Little miss!"
"Grandpa Zhou, there is no need to be polite. Are you okay?"
Zhou Chen took out all the items given by the concubines of the Pei family, placed them on the table next to him, and said, "Miss, these are the things that the concubines of the West Lower Courtyard gave to the old slave. They are poisoned and want to ask for an antidote!
”
Mu Qingyu smiled and said, "Grandpa Zhou, just watch and deal with it!"
Zhou Chen said again: "Little miss, I revealed my intention, but I don't know when those people will take the bait!"
Mu Qingyu said: "Just wait, they have almost reached their limit!"
I swallowed my grandpa’s things and want to just write it off? How can it be so cheap?
If they have squandered all their money, let them pay for it with coolies!
After so many years, Mu Qingyu really never thought that everything could be completely returned, but she had to ask them to spit out some.
She added: "Grandpa Zhou, please send someone to inform the coachman that I want to use a carriage!"
Zhou Chen agreed and went.
Zhou Chen hurried over soon. He held a name card and said: "Little miss, look at this and make your decision!"
Mu Qingyu took it and took a look. The words on the name card were like human beings, cold and hard, with a hint of hostility, but the words were gentle, saying that she had learned that Mr. Pei was sick and came here to visit!
Signature, Chu Xinyuan!
Mu Qingyu thought that after the Thunder God Temple left, there was nothing between her and Chu Xinyuan. She also helped him detoxify. Although it was not completely detoxified, Chu Xinyuan could not do it, so what was left?
The poison is nothing to worry about.
She pondered for two seconds and then said: "Others come here with courtesy and thoughtfulness. If we turn them away, people will inevitably say that the people in Weiwuhou Mansion dare not even pay attention to the King of Liang. Let him come in."
If he wants to visit the patient, let him do it. Just follow the etiquette and do it as normal!"
Zhou Chen understood immediately upon hearing this that the young lady had no intention of staying in the house to receive him in person.
She just said she was going out and would not change her schedule because of Prince Liang's arrival.
So, he responded: "Old slave, I know, don't worry, little lady!"
Mu Qingyu nodded and left. The Weiwu Marquis Mansion is so big that it is easy not to run into it.
When Chu Xinyuan was personally welcomed into the front hall by Zhou Chen, he also accompanied him politely. After learning that Chu Xinyuan wanted to visit, he was taken to the main courtyard through the gate of the mansion.
Chu Xinyuan knew Zhou Chen. After all, this was not his first time here.
He still remembered that it was this old servant Zhou Chen who came to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion that time. At that time, he was still gray-faced and had dull eyes. A man under fifty years old looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies. And Pei Ji
Some are dark and bleak.
Because of Mu Qingyu, there was a bit of joy in their eyes that broke through the gloom, but more of them were at a loss, disbelief, fear, and uneasiness!
His name was Miss Mu Qingyu, and he was called brother-in-law. He was respectful and joyful, and he was so happy that he burst into tears.
But today, he is no longer the old servant with a gray face, a gloomy face and gray eyes.
His eyes are calm, his legs are steady, his face is smiling, his words are neither humble nor overbearing, his actions are prudent and appropriate, and he treats others thoughtfully and politely!
It's obviously the same person, but he seems to have suddenly become ten years younger, his energy level has improved, and his eyes have light.
Is this what a person with a hopeless future and a gloomy vision will be like after suddenly finding hope?
Chu Xinyuan said: "Is your little lady here?"
Pei Ji is seriously ill, Mu Qingyu should be there!
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "The young lady should be here. She is the person that the master loves the most, and she is also the most worried about the master! When the old slave came to greet the prince, the young lady was waiting beside the master!"
Chu Xinyuan nodded slowly.
Zhou Chen led Chu Xinyuan to the main courtyard.
Nie Shan stood up beside the bed and saluted.
Thinking of what happened a few nights ago, Nie Shan was a little uneasy. Why did King Liang come here? Wasn't it because he heard that the master of the house was poisoned, so he came to see if he was lying?
After Nie Shan came back that night, he regretted and was angry about his uselessness, and almost cried to death. Mu Qingyu comforted him the next day, saying that he had found an antidote, so it didn't matter if he didn't get the antidote, which made him feel better. Chu Xinyuan looked around, but where was Mu Qingyu? He asked: "Where is your little lady?"
