Chapter 20: Fighting. He didn't want to make things difficult for Pei Ji.

He Zhiliao finally sat down in the front hall of the He family.

He lowered his head as before, but actually sat on the left side of He Hongan, as if he valued him very much, and even his expression was much kinder.

The last time he went back home, He Hongan initially thought that Pei Ji protected his mute son so much just for the sake of face, but recently he could hear some gossip from time to time, all talking about how much Pei Ji liked his son.

This is of great help to him and the He family.

After all, He Zhiliao's marriage to the Pei family was a real act of marrying up.

He Hongan also knew that although he was the Marquis of Jing'an, it was a nominal position. Compared with the real power of the Pei Mansion, it was really not enough.

Therefore, I can only ask He Zhile here.

But he didn't think he was asking anything of others, he just wanted his children to do things for him, that's all.

"Ah Zhi, you know we have few male descendants in our family. Our only hope is your younger brother. If he can make a career in the previous dynasty, it will also be helpful to you." He Hongan took the trouble to explain, "Your family is weak, and you have no one to rely on. This will make the Pei family not treat you well. Just listen to your father and go back to tell your husband to ask your father-in-law to speak well of your younger brother."

This doesn't sound like asking for help at all, it's clearly giving an order.

Chun Jian couldn't help but become nervous, fearing that the young master would agree to this. Although he didn't know what the official position was, he knew that He Yao was a waste, otherwise why would he need to beg others for an official position?

But there is really nothing wrong with what He Hongan said. Even after children get married, they still have close ties with their parents' family.

If the natal family is in power, the children who marry out will also be valued. If the natal family is in decline, the life of the children who marry out may be difficult.

But these have nothing to do with He Zhiliao.

He listened quietly to He Hongan analyzing the pros and cons with him, as if he would gain great benefits if the He family moved to a higher level.

But now the He family has not fallen into the quagmire and he has not gained any benefit. How can he believe these deceptive words now?

He looked embarrassed and gestured hesitantly.

A hint of joy flashed in Chun Jian's eyes as he relayed the message word for word, "The young master said, 'I can't make the decision on this matter. I will do my best to convey father's wishes, but the outcome is unknown.'"

"I'm not asking you to try your best, but you must do it." He Hongan's face was serious, his eyes fixed on his every move. "I have already analyzed the pros and cons for you. Don't be ungrateful. Don't forget who helped you marry Pei Ji!"

His face turned cold and his voice was low and cold, like a venomous snake lying dormant, ready to suck blood at any time.

He Zhiliao trembled all over. He Hongan has always been ruthless, and he has no support from his mother and grandfather, so the other party will definitely not care about him.

He wouldn't do that before, and he wouldn't do that now that he's forced to do that.

[I have no say in this matter.]

He Zhiliao was shaking violently, his hands tightly clutching the clothes on his knees. He was so frightened that his teeth were chattering and even his eyes were red.

But his second brother told him clearly that he must not agree to this matter.

He Zhiliao understood He Hongan. He was a bottomless pit of greed. Once he made a move, he would make another. As long as he opened the door today, he would never be able to refuse in the future.

He always has to think about Pei Ji.

"Unfilial son! You unfilial son! I've tried so hard to fulfill your wish and let you marry into the Pei family, but you're so ungrateful!" He Hongan's eyes were bloodshot, and he slammed his hands on the table. "Yao'er is your biological brother, how can you not wish for the best for him! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're married into the Pei family! You don't care about your parents at all, so don't expect them to protect you in the future!"

He Hongan's voice was hoarse, and he wished everyone in the He family could hear how cold and heartless he, He Zhiliao, was and how he didn't care about his mother's family.

He Zhiliao was frightened by his sudden roar and slamming of the table, but he still refused to give in.

Not only He Hongan can analyze the pros and cons, but Pei Fu can too.

Once He Yao enters the Ministry of Personnel, it will bring more benefits than disadvantages to the He family, but it will be a hundred disadvantages to the Pei family, which makes He Zhiliao unable to agree.

He gestured quickly, and Harumi held his breath and conveyed the message.

"The young master said he made it very clear that he can only convey the matter and cannot make the decision. If you insist on forcing him, then he has no way to deal with it."

He Zhiliao didn't know what He Hongan wanted him to do.

This matter involves the transfer of court officials, how could he possibly influence it with just a few words?

He Hongan thinks too highly of him.

Besides, Pei Ji is not a fool, and neither are the people in the Pei Mansion. Even he himself does not understand these things, but he knows that it is stupid to just stuff things in a conspicuous place.

"You rebellious son!" He Hongan roared, raising his arm high and about to swing it at his face.

Chun Jian immediately took a big step forward to block him and shouted, "If our Zheng Jun returns home injured, the Fourth Young Master will not let it go!"

He Hongan's hands froze in mid-air. He couldn't hit him, and scolding him was useless. He was afraid that even if he was mad to death, this good son would not react at all!

He took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, very good! I won't force you on this matter anymore. Now that you're home, go talk to your mother and siblings before you leave."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left with big strides, as if anyone could be pissed to death just by looking at He Zhi.

After he left, He Zhiliao began to tremble more and more uncontrollably, as if some restraints had been released. She sat back in the chair completely exhausted, sweat dripping from her body. Occasionally, a breeze blew by, and she felt a chill.

"Young Master..."

He Zhiliao shook his head slightly. It wasn't the first time he was scolded like this. He just couldn't adapt to it every time.

It doesn't matter, just avoid interacting with them.

After a short rest, he prepared to take Chunjian back to Pei Mansion and asked him to greet his stepmother and step-sisters. It was obvious that he wanted to use them to punish himself.

He Zhiliao knew very well that he couldn't afford to offend, so he just stayed away.

Perhaps they had communicated in advance, as He Zhiliao was about to walk out of the front hall, He Ruman and He Ruxi came from the corner.

It's really difficult to leave at this time.

"Stop right there!" He Ruman shouted.

The two men trotted up to him and stared at him with resentment, as if He Zhiliao had done something unjust.

"How could you possibly know that? You're the elder, yet you don't even consider my brother at all! I just asked you to say a few nice words to Pei Ji, but you're so ungrateful!"

"Don't forget who you owe to the Pei family. You've climbed such a high branch, yet you don't know how to repay the favor! How could our He family have someone like you?"

"I'm warning you, go and make things clear with the Pei family and find a position for my brother, otherwise I'll have my mother smash your mother's tablet!"

He Ruman threatened loudly, he just didn't believe that he couldn't cure the mute!

I was defeated by him in the past, and it will be the same even if I get married!

When mentioning his mother's tablet, He Zhi's heart tightened. He had actually forgotten about this!

He closed his eyes, looked at He Ruman expressionlessly, ignored him, and walked around him.

The mother's tablet is certainly important, but as long as the son is still there, the tablet can be there anytime and anywhere, but it is completely different when it comes to state affairs.

He didn't understand, didn't understand the treacherous and cautious moves his second brother was talking about, but his second brother said not to make things difficult for Pei Ji...

Then he couldn't make things difficult for Pei Ji.

"You stinking mute! How did I know you were just a stinking mute! Why didn't I drown you when you were a child! You should have died like your mother! Bastard!"

"You're a bastard! You little bastard! It's a good thing your mother died early, otherwise she would have been pissed off to death by you! Your mother deserves to die!"

He Zhiliao suddenly stopped and pinched the tender flesh in his palms tightly with both hands, but it was not even one ten-thousandth as painful as the pain in his heart.

That stinky mouth needs to be taught a lesson.

Thinking this, he quickly turned around and walked towards He Ruman. His beautiful and elegant face was expressionless, but his eyes were dark, as if he wanted to suck people in.

He almost rushed to He Ruman, but how could He Ruman, who had always been strong, be afraid of him?

"What are you going to do? Do you still want to hit me? Do you dare? You stinking mute, don't think you can sit back and relax just because you marry into the Pei Mansion! You are nothing but a piece of trash! Do you dare to hit me? Just try it!"

He Zhiliao lowered his eyes and looked at him. Anger and resentment turned around in his heart for a few times, but he finally decided to obey him again.

Then, he imitated He Hongan and raised his hands high, then quickly lowered them.

A slap landed quickly, hard and accurately on He Ruman's face.

Crisp, loud noise.

Even his palms were swollen and numb, but he felt extremely relaxed.

He Ruman was stunned, but He Ruxi started yelling, "How dare you, a dumb bastard, hit my brother! I'm going to fight you!"

She started scratching He Zhiliao with her claws and fangs, and He Ruman, who had reacted, collapsed and started fighting with them.

Harumi angrily scolded the servants who wanted to help, and he also joined in. It was two against two, and it was not certain who would win or lose!

Both the girls and the men were pulling their hair and scratching their faces like this.

The incident happened so suddenly that He Zhi didn't react for a while. After he recovered, he began to use the self-defense skills taught by Pei Ji to deal with them.

Although he was also injured due to his unfamiliarity with the technique, to be honest, the two siblings were more seriously injured!

Looking at his two younger brothers and sisters sitting on the ground crying, He Zhiliao took a deep breath and left coldly and ruthlessly.

"Young Master, let's go like this. What about the Madam's tablet..." Chun Jian was a little nervous. The tablet was very important. What if it was really broken?

[I am still here, and my mother's tablet is here.]

Moreover, he believed that his mother certainly did not want the tablet to become a constraint or weakness for him.

His mother will protect him and won't care about it.

Chun Jian nodded quickly. "You are the Madam's son. We can make a new tablet to express our grief and remembrance. Who knows, the Fourth Young Master might be willing to build a new small mourning hall for you! Let's go home quickly. The wound on your face cannot be delayed!"

The other side.

Pei Ji woke up and found that her husband was missing. She heard from Yanhua that he had taken Chunjian out of the house. She thought that as long as Chunjian was there, nothing would happen.

He thought so until he saw the wounds on He Zhiliao's face and his disheveled clothes.

Pei Ji took a deep breath and smiled in an especially amiable manner, "Zhizhi, be good and tell me the whole story."

I want to kill people and set fire to things.
