Chapter 128: The goal justifies the means
[Well, sister, then you should go quickly.]
'good……'
Shen Qingyi almost blurted out, but fortunately she reacted in time, she reached out and touched Shen Wan's little face, kissed her on the forehead, and put her on the bed.
"Hua Wu, my little sister's nanny didn't get enough rest last night and is resting right now. You just stay here and play with my little sister. Don't let her fall off the bed, okay?"
"Got it, Miss, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the Fourth Miss."
"Yeah, okay."
After entrusting Shen Wan to Hua Wu, Shen Qingyi kissed the back of her little hand again before leaving.
As soon as I walked out of the room, tears started falling.
Pei Lin, his father regarded him as his adopted son, and she regarded him as her adopted brother, but was he such a cruel person?
I'm right. The plot will inevitably make him interact with the heroine and make him fall deeply in love with her, but it cannot change his nature.
His nature is cruel and ruthless, and he will do anything to achieve his goals.
Such a person is not worthy of being valued by my father.
Wiping away her tears, Shen Qingyi took a deep breath, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she walked towards the front yard.
Since he could put her in such a situation for the sake of the one he loved, then don't blame her for seeking justice for herself.
Front yard hall.
After the butler served the tea, he stood respectfully aside. Sitting on the seat, a man in a black suit was holding a teacup in his hand and chuckled.
"I've been away from Beijing for a long time this time. Butler Liu, has Sister Qingyi ever mentioned me?"
housekeeper:"……"
I am a housekeeper in charge of the entire Duke's Mansion. How can I know whether the young lady has mentioned you? The young lady is not bored enough to mention you in front of me.
Although he was speechless, the butler still smiled gently.
"Master Pei, the young lady had been staying in the women's quarters. She only took leave and came back after the fourth young lady was born."
"During this period, due to the birth of the Fourth Young Lady, the mansion was overwhelmed with affairs. This old servant was so busy that he couldn't even see the Young Lady. How could he know who she mentioned?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this Pei guy was interested in their young lady, but the young lady was already engaged and was going to be the Princess of Jin in the future. How could she always talk about a man from outside her family?
Not to mention that Shen Qingyi really didn't mention it, even if she did, the housekeeper wouldn't tell Pei Lin.
The reputation of their young lady must not be tarnished in the slightest.
Moreover, this Pei guy doesn't even know his own weight and what he can use to compare with the King of Jin. He even wants to eat swan meat like a toad.
If the Duke hadn't admired him very much, he wouldn't even be able to enter the Shen family's gate, and he even dared to covet the young lady.
The butler sneered in his heart and looked down on Pei Lin, but he didn't show it.
Hearing his words, Pei Lin frowned and felt a little disappointed.
"That's right, Sister Qingyi will definitely not mention these things in front of the servants."
housekeeper:"……"
What do you mean?
Are you looking down on me?
The young lady and I are very familiar with each other. Every time she sees me, she calls me Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu. But you, a wild boy, always call me a servant. If I had known this, I wouldn't have given you any tea.
The housekeeper was very unhappy, his face darkened, and he was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
"Then please make yourself at your leisure, Mr. Pei. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Here Shen Qingyi came to the front hall.
"Sister Qingyi, you're here."
Shen Qingyi raised her head and saw a man with a fiery expression, staring at her without blinking.
Tsk, he showed his love so obviously, but she had never noticed it before.
She is so stupid.
If it weren't for her younger sister's reminder, she probably would never have thought of going there.
After all, they were both engaged. How could she have imagined that he would still like her even though he was engaged and knew that she would marry into Prince Jin's Mansion in the future.
"Brother Pei."
Shen Qingyi's eyes suddenly changed, and she looked at him with joy, with a bit of shyness and timidity unique to young girls appearing on her face.
Seeing this posture, Pei Lin's blood instantly boiled, his throat became dry, he could hardly speak, and his eyes wanted to stick to her.
Sister Qingyi looked at him like this, could it be that she also liked him?
[Ah, as expected, my mental power can only be projected two miles outward at the moment, most of the time it can't even reach half a mile.]
[But two miles is about enough, just enough to watch a play here.]
[The guy in front of my sister is Pei Lin, right? ]
[Look at that guy, his eyes are almost glued to my sister. Tsk, it's really an eyesore.]
Shen Qingyi: “???”
Is this what my little sister is thinking?
She subconsciously turned around and looked around, but found that the surroundings were empty except for a few busy servants, and Shen Wan was nowhere to be seen.
What's going on? My younger sister is not around, so why can she hear my younger sister's thoughts?
"Sister Qingyi, what are you looking for?"
Pei Lin took a step forward and looked at her with curiosity. Shen Qingyi frowned and was about to speak when she heard Shen Wan's inner voice continue to ring out.
[Yes, what are you looking for, sister? ]
[Could it be that her system has sensed my mental power? ]
【Should I continue watching?】
[Forget it, I want to see how my sister will deal with this guy after she is reborn.]
[This guy came to see my sister this time and even brought a gift.]
He led his troops to capture a city in the Xuan Kingdom and seized a great deal of treasure, including a pair of gold-wrapped armlets of exquisite workmanship. He kept them for himself and gave them to his sister, claiming it was an early coming-of-age gift.
[Since the gift was well-founded, my sister accepted it. However, she never expected that it would become a knife that would stab her in the future.]
[When he first started working with the heroine, in order to break up his sister and Prince Jin, he boasted to Prince Jin that his sister had already secretly been in a relationship with him and had accepted his love.]
[The King of Jin hadn't completely given up on his sister at the time. After being provoked by him, he almost hated his sister for being unfaithful and betraying him.]
[Therefore, when he later had an affair with Su Haitang, he felt completely at ease. The last trace of guilt he felt towards his sister was completely wiped out by this guy.]
【……】
Listening to the childish voice, Shen Qingyi frowned, and countless guesses emerged in her mind.
My younger sister should be in the room, but she can hear my younger sister's thoughts from such a long distance. Could it be that as long as my younger sister's mental power touches them, then no matter how far away they are, they can hear my younger sister's thoughts without any hindrance?
This is too unbelievable.
"Sister Qingyi, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Lin frowned and looked at her worriedly.
She had been looking around before, but no one knew what she was looking for. She didn't answer when asked, and now she was silent. There was something wrong with her condition.
What exactly happened?
Why did she change suddenly?
