Chapter 56: Your Palace, Either She or Me, Either Me or Her
Cheng Shuyi took a nap.
When I woke up, it was already daybreak.
Pei Yanli next door seemed to be tying his daughter's hair, and the little girl kept urging him to hurry up.
Shen Huaichang walked to Cheng's house on Cheng Road and shouted at the door: "As scheduled, hurry up, there is Master Cen's class this morning, and you will be spanked if you are late..."
Every time the school returns from holiday on the first morning, the two children would stay in bed.
Pei Yanli was busy dealing with this chaotic and busy morning.
Cheng Shuyi lay on the bed, staring at the bed curtain in a daze.
A lot on my mind.
She was thinking about the future.
Cheng Shuyi could not accept the Regent's Palace's decision to recognize one child first.
My daughter will definitely suffer.
Bring the two children back to modern times?
Cheng Shuyi couldn't find anyone to take care of his children, and he didn't want to die in front of his two children.
She must have been particularly scary during the last period of her life.
It seems that we have no choice but to leave the two children in ancient times.
Pei Yanli...
The Shen family...
Qin Yan...
Cheng Shuyi thought about all the possible people he could entrust his trust to.
She even considered the great general Mo Xiao, whom she had never met.
With the Mo family's badge, she could ask the General's Mansion to help her unconditionally once.
Cheng Shuyi put on an ugly smile and eliminated the General's Mansion from consideration.
She didn't even know what kind of family the General's Mansion was, so how could she come up with such a ridiculous idea?
He was really desperate and tried every possible means.
"woke up?"
Pei Yanli finally sent the two children out. When he walked into Cheng Shuyi's room, he saw that she was awake.
He took the bowl of cold medicine from the table and said, "You fainted last night. I asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for you. I'll go heat it up for you."
Cheng Shuyi got up.
Instead of lying in bed and thinking about random things and feeling sad about the passing of time, it is better to go out and make more money.
Earn enough... She can use the money to hire someone to help her take care of her two children!
While Cheng Shuyi was washing up, Pei Yanli had warmed up the medicine.
She took it and drank it in one gulp.
Pei Yanli looked at the empty bowl in his hand, stunned for a moment, and chased her back to the room.
Cheng Shuyi had a stomachache and was sweating last night, so he went back to his room and changed his clothes directly, completely ignoring Pei Yanli who came in.
She said nothing this morning, her silence uncomfortably silent.
Pei Yanli had no time to think about anything else. "I have decided to separate the palace and set up my own family. I want both children."
Cheng Shuyi paused while getting dressed, turned around and looked at him in surprise.
She didn't expect Pei Yanli to be able to do this.
In the Great Sheng Dynasty, splitting up the family and living separately was a serious matter.
There are many elders in ordinary people's families who would rather die than agree to divide the family property.
What’s more, it is a century-old clan like the Pei family.
As a century-old family, it has achieved such a respected status and reputation today through the efforts and protection of several generations.
Pei Yanli said that the mansion should be divided, will the Pei family agree?
Pei Yanli saw what she wanted to ask, and he said, "The position of Regent was earned by me alone, and has nothing to do with others. Even if I move to a separate palace, I will still be the Regent of the current dynasty!"
What Cheng Shuyi was worried about was not whether he would still be the powerful regent after the separation of the palace.
She cares about...
"My Lord, if you move out of your own residence, does your concubine also have to move in with you?"
This question made Pei Yanli choke on the spot.
Cheng Shuyi approached him, completely different from his usual self.
"Pei Yanli, I'm very jealous and possessive. After you move into your own house, it's either her or me in your house!"
"The same goes for the two children!"
Cheng Shuyi is targeting Sheng Tinglan!
If Sheng Tinglan was a virtuous woman, she would treat her two children as sincerely as Shen Zhoushi did.
She wouldn't say what she said today.
But I learned from my sister that Sheng Tinglan could not tolerate these two children at all. She tried every means to exclude and suppress them, and even made indirect accusations.
So she figured it out.
No matter what others say about her, whether she is jealous or a wicked woman, she accepts it.
Pei Yanli's gaze moved as she approached, and finally stopped on her delicate and domineering little face.
He chuckled inexplicably, his eyes narrowed slightly, "You want to monopolize this king?"
This man!
Just like her first impression, whenever he made this half-smile expression, he was inexplicably attractive!
Cheng Shuyi's heartbeat gradually quickened.
Before the heat from her ears reached her face, she pretended to be calm and said, "Yes!"
But her blushing came faster than she intended.
No matter how she tried to hide, Pei Yanli saw it all. "This king will give you a satisfactory result."
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the Pei Mansion's servant came from the courtyard.
"Your Highness, our great grandfather passed away suddenly this morning. I ask you to return home immediately!"
What!
Pei Yanli's expression instantly became solemn.
Cheng Shuyi also looked unconvinced.
"Shuyi, I'm afraid the king won't be able to come often these days. Please tell the two children on my behalf." Pei Yanli said in a deep voice.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly.
The passing of the centenarian great-grandfather of the Pei family is a serious matter.
It is a happy funeral, but at the same time, there are more and stricter rules to follow!
The entire Pei family must wear mourning clothes for their great grandfather and observe a nine-month mourning period.
No happy events should be held during this period.
Anyone who violates the rules will be sentenced to three years in prison, all the work done will be invalidated, and the person will be accused of being unfilial, which will affect the family's reputation.
Cheng Shuyi was happy because Pei Yanli said that he wanted to live in a separate house and let both children move in.
At this moment, I hit rock bottom again.
-
Regent's Palace.
When Pei Yanli entered the palace, funeral banners were hung everywhere, from the front gate to the side courtyard.
Hundreds of servants in the mansion all lowered their heads and walked hurriedly, and the atmosphere was solemn.
The mourning hall in the main hall has been prepared, and the elders and clan elders of the family are kneeling in front of the coffin, wearing sackcloth and mourning clothes.
Zhao stood aside with several other ladies, sisters-in-law, and brothers' wives, crying until their handkerchiefs were wet.
Seeing Pei Yanli walk in.
Zhao slapped him across the face, angrily scolding him for being unfilial: "Unfilial son, if you hadn't insisted on living separately, how could Grandpa Taizu have passed away due to illness?"
"Hurry up and kneel down to admit your mistake to Grandpa Taizu!"
In fact, the death of Grandpa Taizu was not caused by a heart attack after he learned about the division of the palace.
This was just a means for Zhao to dissuade Pei Yanli from moving to another place.
In order to preserve the glory of their Pei family's Regent Palace.
Pei Shi and several clan elders who were kneeling in front of the coffin were shocked when they heard that Zhao put the blame for Taizu's death on Pei Yanli.
But after being surprised, they all chose to accept it.
If the Pei family loses the position of regent, it will immediately become an ordinary declining clan.
Apart from Pei Yanli, they had no one else in the court to rely on.
There are still many young men and women in the family who are not married yet, and they will not allow such a thing as dividing the house to happen!
Pei Yanli took the slap, silently lifted his robe, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.
He did not ask a single question about what Zhao said.
When others saw him like this, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.
This is not like his style!
