Watching Pei Jian crying in grief.

Pei Chongqing suppressed the pity in his heart and said in a cold voice: "Pei Jian, I have clearly warned you before that the imperial examination is a serious matter and you cannot mess around with it."

"If you are not careful, the whole family will be in trouble! You are only 12 years old, and you dare to make such a big mess! How can we face the Cui family in the future?"

Pei Jian knelt down and crawled forward two steps. He did not dare to argue for himself anymore. He kept crying and admitting his mistakes: "I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong, Grandfather!"

"Please find a way to save Brother Xian! If you arrest me and report me to the police, can you save him? Take me to the county government office..."

He didn't finish his words.

Pei Chongqing scolded, "Shut up! You rebellious son, at this moment, can we just arrest you and settle the matter?"

"Get back in right now. Don't step out of the room without my permission!"

"As for Brother Xian, I will find a way to rescue him. But if you dare to—"

Pei Jian cried and promised: "I will listen to you, I will go back to my room immediately, I will not do anything, I promise."

After saying that.

He stood up tremblingly and walked towards the mansion.

Halfway through the walk, Pei Jian turned around, his eyes red, and asked in an almost pleading tone: "Grandfather, Brother Xian will be fine, right?"

Pei Chongqing looked deeply at his grandson with his old eyes. He didn't harden his heart after all. He said softly, "Yes, you can go back to your room."

Pei Jian even forgot how he returned to his room that day.

I just remember that night was really, really long.

He wanted to sleep very much, and when he woke up he found that it was just a nightmare and his brother Xian was actually fine.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, all kinds of horrible scenes came. Cui Xian looked at him with tears in his eyes and asked in a sobbing voice: "Brother, why did you hurt me!"

Pei Jian suddenly sat up from the bed, crying and saying "I'm sorry", leaning against the wall and wiping his tears while trembling.

This year, Pei Jian was 12 years old.

He experienced a horrific "catastrophe" that was as terrible as a tsunami and learned the cruelest lesson in his life.

It turns out that being clever can be deadly.

Behind a seemingly insignificant thing, there may be a price you cannot afford.

The long night is finally over.

The sunlight pours into the bedroom through the window.

Pei Jian was still sitting there, his face pale and dazed.

He looked no different from usual, but it seemed as if...something was different.

It seemed that in just one night, he went through a mental disaster.

Overnight, he grew up.

Outside Pei Mansion.

The three young men, Li Heyu, Zhuang Jin and Gao Qi, all looked at Cui Xian.

Zhuang Jin hesitated and said, "Brother Xian, are we really going to look for Pei Jian? You don't know that he actually skipped the county exam yesterday. I guess his grandparents must be furious right now."

"If we go in now, we will inevitably be implicated and scolded."

Li Heyu and Gao Qi nodded hurriedly.

Cui Xian shook his head and said, "No, both Grandfather Pei and Big Brother are expecting us to go in now."

Yesterday, Cui Xian got on Pei Mansion's carriage, but did not go to Peach Blossom Forest for sightseeing.

He stayed at Zhuang Jin's house for one night.

Early this morning, he called Gao Qi and the other two and rushed to Pei Mansion.

Waiting for us to go in?

After hearing what Cui Xian said, Zhuang Jin and the other two were very puzzled, but they still chose to knock on the door of Pei Mansion.

The housekeeper who opened the door was stunned when he saw Cui Xian, and quickly called Pei Chongqing over.

Old Master Pei came out in a hurry and said, "Brother Xian, didn't you promise to leave for a few days and let grandfather teach Pei Jian a lesson?"

Cui Xian bowed to Mr. Pei and said, "Yes, grandfather is teaching his grandson, Xian has no right to interfere. But grandfather, Xian only promised you that he would be away for a few days. But I didn't agree with you on how many days it would be."

Speaking of this.

He raised his head and said seriously, "I know that although you don't say it, you must be worried about my brother in your heart. Grandfather, I am also worried about my brother. So, please let us in."

Pei Chongqing was deeply moved by the concern and worry that could not be concealed in Cui Xian's eyes.

The pure friendship among teenagers is truly moving and enviable.

After a moment, Mr. Pei waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go in."

Zhuang Jin and the other two quickly followed Cui Xian in.

The three of them still don’t understand what happened, but that doesn’t stop them from gloating!

"Pei Jian! Good brother! Are you still alive?"

Zhuang Jin was the first to rush into Pei Jian's courtyard. He pushed open his bedroom door rudely and laughed at him loudly, "Did you get beaten last night? Did you cry? Tell your brothers - Ouch!"

Without waiting for Zhuang Jin to finish his words.

Pei Jian suddenly rushed over, hugged him and cried, "Zhuang Jin, I deserve to die, I really deserve to die! I have hurt my brother Xian so badly!"

ah?

Zhuang Jin was stunned.

Seeing Pei Jian crying on him with snot all over his body, he held back his disgust, pointed to the door, and said hesitantly: "Isn't Brother Xian right here? How did you hurt him so badly?"

Pei Jian stopped crying suddenly and looked up suddenly.

At the bedroom door, Cui Xian called out with a smile, "Brother."

Pei Jian almost thought he was dreaming.

He was stunned in disbelief for a moment, then he reacted, pushed Zhuang Jin away, and pounced towards Cui Xian tremblingly.

"Brother Xian! I'm glad you're okay! I'm glad you're okay!"

Zhuang Jin who was pushed away:?

Are you okay?

He wanted to curse, but when he turned around, he saw Pei Jian holding Cui Xian and crying loudly.
