Chapter 19 Don’t go. I, Pei Yunzhou, only have He Zhi in my heart.

"Take a concubine?"

"Who?"

"He Zhiliao, tell me clearly!"

There was an expression of disbelief on Pei Ji's cold face. In just a moment, bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and his hair, which was standing high, was a little messy.

He is completely different from the handsome and elegant Fourth Master Pei in daily life.

There's a sense of collapse inside and out.

Even though Pei Ji was in such a state of confusion, he still recognized the sound of pressure and was afraid of scaring the treasure he had finally regained.

He Zhiliao's eyes also turned slightly red, and she gestured to him stubbornly, trying to persuade him to take a concubine as soon as possible, so as to add a boy or girl to the Pei family as soon as possible.

He is a man, and not only is childbirth difficult, but he has been ill in the past and doesn't even know if he can give birth. It is not good to delay Pei Ji any longer.

Pei Ji felt somewhat powerless, but he didn't want to argue with him. He forced himself to calm down, sat down next to He Zhiliao, held his hand, and asked hoarsely, "Who was it? Who was gossiping in front of you?"

He Zhi shook his head.

Pei Ji naturally didn't believe it. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I will be polite and won't go out and cause trouble. Just tell me, who is gossiping to you? Or did I make you angry in some way?"

Let him know who is gossiping and he will definitely cut off that person's tongue.

He Zhiliao still shook his head. It was his own idea.

"If there really is nothing, why would you think about these things?" Pei Ji kissed the back of his hand tremblingly, thinking carefully about these changes.

He just went to a flower-viewing banquet, and then went to Songhexuan for dinner... During this period, the only time the little mute left his sight was at the flower-viewing banquet.

Flower viewing banquet.

Yes, a flower viewing banquet!

It must be the gossips of the palace talking nonsense. He knew that the little mute was the most patient, so why didn't he dig deeper into the matter?

It's his fault.

It's because he has no real power now and is not as intimidating as his father and brother.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji let go of his hand and began to get dressed. He had to go and ask everyone who was going to the flower viewing banquet in person!

【ah? 】

Where are you going?

"I'm going out for a while. You stay at home and I promise to get justice for you..." Pei Ji hugged him tightly, then quickly let go.

He turned around and left as if he wanted to abandon He Zhiliao.

【ah! 】

Don't go!

He Zhiliao rushed forward and hugged him from behind.

The low sobs irritated Pei Ji, and his chest felt like it was about to explode. Anger enveloped his whole body, making him shout that he wanted to kill everyone who attended the flower viewing banquet.

He deserves to be killed, Pei Ji thought woodenly.

If everyone is killed, will the Pei family no longer have to suffer what they experienced in the previous life?

【ah! 】

It's all my fault, please don't leave, okay?

Pei Ji was pulled back by his voice. He grabbed the little mute's wrist and forced him to let go of him, then turned around and hugged him tightly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

"I just want to talk some sense into them."

He Zhiliao sobbed and looked up at him. "You don't seem to be reasonable. You seem to be setting fire and killing people..."

But...who should I talk to?

Pei Ji wiped the tears from his face, held his face and put his forehead against his, and whispered softly: "Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi, what's going on? Can you tell me? I beg--"

He Zhiliao covered his mouth with his hand, and the pain in his eyes was obvious.

He didn't like Pei Ji being like this.

He Zhiliao told Pei Ji his thoughts with some difficulty. In the end, even he felt a little embarrassed.

Before he spoke, Pei Ji thought it was the queen, the men and women who participated in the flower viewing banquet, or some woman who was gossiping, but after thinking about it, he didn't expect it was because of him.

The anger on Pei Ji's face could no longer be gathered, leaving only confusion and helplessness.

He? He made the little mute unhappy.

"You have misunderstood me too deeply..." Pei Ji was both happy and surprised.

I'm happy that I still have deep feelings for him.

I was surprised at how delicate and sensitive he was.

He Zhiliao didn't understand why he said that, and still raised his head to look at him. His eyebrows, nose and eyes were all red, as if they had been ravaged by the east wind, but he still stood upright.

Pei Ji's heart was pounding, his throat rolling, and he had to explain again, "I was bad before, but even then I didn't have anyone else in my heart. Now I only have you, and it will be the same in the future. Heaven and earth can bear witness. I, Pei Yunzhou, only know what's in my heart."

only.

These two light words have a very heavy meaning.

He Zhiliao pursed her lips, and a dimple appeared on her lips.

Seeing him smile, Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief. He held his face and pinched and rubbed it, and his heart gradually settled back into his stomach.

The two of them were making noise, running and quarreling in the yard, and now they were hugging each other, kissing and laughing... The servants in the yard, led by Chunjian and Yuanrong, just wished they could watch the show while eating melon seeds!

Pei Ji raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Rong. The latter instantly felt pain all over his body and immediately told his servants to continue working.

Watching the show is no big deal, but if the master gets angry, it’s a big deal.

Go back inside.

Pei Ji helped him lie down and said, "You are very tired today, so have a good rest. Tomorrow you will go to your parents' courtyard to learn, so you should pay more attention."

He knew that his mother had a kind heart, and how could he know that his son was so well-behaved and sensible, and never talked back... Such a good daughter-in-law, who was hard to find even with a lantern, would definitely teach him well.

Although he might only teach some techniques for drinking tea and talking with women, they all have deep meanings, as long as it can protect him.

He Zhiliao nodded slightly, he understood all of this.

After he fell asleep, Pei Ji called Yuan Rong to the study.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Yuan Rong was stunned and quickly replied, "Zheng Jun is treated very badly in the He family. The He brothers and sisters are jealous of him and never allow him to look up. His food, clothing and other necessities are the worst..."

The thing was placed on the table several days ago, but no one knew about it until today. It is obvious that the master has never entered the study at all and was busy "hanging out" with Zhengjun.

Pei Ji coughed lightly and flipped through the neatly arranged papers, but the more he read, the more frightened and unbelievable he felt.

He didn't expect that just by asking Yuanrong to investigate He Zhiliao's past, he would actually dig up these things.

He Rumanchao and He Zhiliao threw stones at him, hitting his head and causing it to bleed.

He Ruman verbally insulted He Zhiliao and called him a motherless bastard.

He Ruxi secretly threw a rag on He Zhiliao's bed.

He Ruxi put laxative into He Zhiliao's teapot.

…

Yuan Rong continued, "Besides what I already know, I've also found out something about Zheng Jun's mother. I've placed her confession on your desk..."

"Where did you get this information?" Pei Ji frowned and looked at the papers again and again.

"After the master gave the order, I asked Jin Ling to send people to investigate. We specifically looked for the maids who knew Madam He ten years ago. Some of them were poisoned and silenced, so we couldn't get anything out of them. But we also interrogated them carefully, and everything they said was true." Yuan Rong said.

"Heh..." Pei Ji exerted force on his hands, his deep eyes darkening. "Repay every evil they have done a thousandfold, and have Jin Ling send people to Miaojiang and the Southern Region to find an antidote."

Yuan Rong immediately took the order and left.

Pei Ji stood alone in the study. He knew in his previous life that He Zhiliao had a very poor life in the He family, but whenever he mentioned going to the He family during the holidays, the other party would never refuse.

He thought it was just harsh words and xenophobia between brothers. After all, the wife of the He family was Zhuang Hongxiu now. She had her own children and naturally would not be kind to non-biological children.

But I didn't expect it to be so bad.

After all, he owed He Zhi. If he had cared more about the other person in his previous life, he would have been able to find out these things then... In the end, it was all his fault.

However, He Zhiliao was a little troubled about the matter of his mother.

The letter said that the little mute made a crying sound when he spoke, which meant he was not born mute. Then how could we know what happened in the six years when his mother was still alive?

A mother who is willing to leave so much dowry for her child should not watch her child become mute.

Anyway, let’s talk to He Zhiliao after we have figured out the matter clearly.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Chun Jian standing guard in the corridor sleepily. Pei Ji disliked this servant, but he did not punish him because he had been protecting He Zhiliao for ten years.

Pei Ji pushed the door open and went in. He had no habit of taking naps. In the past, he would focus all his energy on training in the martial arts field. But now, seeing the little mute sleeping soundly, he actually felt a little sleepy.

Sure enough, colds are contagious, and so is sleepiness.

.

He Zhiliao was woken up by the heat.

It was almost midsummer, and he had a cold constitution, so his nap wouldn't require Harujian to spin the wind wheel beside him, but he didn't expect to be woken up by the heat.

He sat up suddenly in a daze, and then realized that he seemed to have pulled his head out from somewhere...

He quickly looked down and found that Pei Ji's shirt was wide open, vaguely revealing his strong chest and well-defined waist and abdomen.

And his head seemed to be buried there.

He patted his hot face, carefully stepped past Pei Ji, went downstairs and poured a cup of cold tea. His eyes fell on the round fan above Pei Ji's head, and he picked it up and fanned it gently.

Chun Jian, who was guarding outside the house, heard Dong Jin come in quietly. Seeing this, he wanted to take the fan to help, but He Zhiliao dodged him.

"I feel sorry for the young master." Harumi said in a low voice.

He Zhiliao raised his finger and placed it on his lips, and Chun Jian immediately fell silent.

After a moment, he put down the round fan and took Chun to the front hall.

【Do you have anything to say?】

Harumi nodded awkwardly, but didn't hide it.

"Just now, the gatekeeper passed on a message saying that Lord He wants you to come back to his mansion when you are free. I thought that just passing on a message without going through the formalities of the Pei Mansion might not be a good thing."

Chun Jian's words were much more tactful, and really gave the He family extra face. After all, He Zhiliao had never had a good life in the He family.

He Zhiliao frowned and gestured quickly.

Let’s go there now.

"Now? Don't we need to call the Fourth Young Master?"

[No.]

He Zhiliao gritted his teeth nervously. This trip must be to the Hongmen Banquet, and he didn't want Pei Ji to get involved in the mess with him.

After packing up, he headed straight for the gate of Pei Mansion.

But I didn't expect that someone was already waiting there.

It’s Pei Su.

【Second brother.】

"Seeing that you were in a hurry to leave, I knew that Yun Zhou seemed to have something to say to you." Pei Su's voice was gentle, and the look he gave him was particularly kind.

He Zhiliao suddenly felt fear for no reason.

The author has something to say:

Pei Gou: "I'll go talk to them." [Hug]

Xiao Zhiliao: My husband... you don't seem reasonable. You seem to be out for robbery, murder, and arson... [Please]
