Mrs. Peng was indeed a thoughtful person. When her personal maid handed the seating chart to Old Master Peng, he immediately understood what his nephew's wife meant.

He looked calmly at Pei Yan, who was sitting next to him and talking to Zhou Zijin.

He knew that Pei Yan would not be so obedient. Sure enough, a seating chart was made on the first day of the lecture. Was this to give these people a warning?

However, the Peng family is not a pushover.

Since Pei Yan has done so much, it would be too petty for the Peng family to keep him hidden.

Mr. Peng returned the seating chart to Mrs. Peng's personal maid, and his desire to marry into the Pei family became even stronger.

According to Peng Shiyi, the Pei family's eligible marriage partners include Pei Yan and Pei Tong from the main branch, as well as Pei Chan and Pei Bo from the side branch of the Pei family.

Pei Bo couldn't see anything now, but Pei Chan had already obtained the title of scholar and would soon take part in the autumn examination.

If the Peng family wanted to marry their daughter to the Pei family, but couldn't get Pei Yan, they would have no choice but to choose Pei Chan.

Master Peng whispered to the maid, "Go tell the eldest young lady, I understand. Let her make her own decisions. I will tell Eleven to listen to the eldest young lady's instructions."

It would be best to create some trouble so that the Peng family can take advantage of the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the Pei family.

His nephew's wife has always been smart and capable, and she will definitely understand what he means.

The maid replied respectfully, and retreated.

After receiving the confirmation from Mr. Peng, Mrs. Peng felt much more at ease.

She sat there, smiling and chatting with Mrs. Song and the others, when she saw the servant named Ah Ming beside Pei Yan come in and report to Old Master Pei: "The eleventh master of the Peng family heard that there was a seminar here, so he hurried over and finally came here today. He wanted to come in and greet you. Do you want to see him or not?"

Since it was someone close to Pei Yan who said this, Pei Yan must have felt that Pei Laoan should meet him.

Mr. Pei nodded and said with a smile: "Then please invite Master Eleven in!"

Ah Ming stepped back.

The maids and old women around Pei Laoan stepped forward, lined up in a shape of a goose, and held behind them all the young ladies from the Pei and Song families who had not yet left the house.

Mrs. Peng was secretly surprised when she saw this, but she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

The Pei family is indeed a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and they do things in a very secretive manner.

Then Madam Peng heard Fourth Madam Song ask with a smile, "The eleventh master of the Peng Mansion, could it be the eleventh master who was disfigured by bandits on his way back home after participating in the Autumn Examination?"

Madam Peng Da frowned and was about to say something, but Madam Peng Er rushed in front of her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not as bad as the rumors say. Master Eleven only has a scar on his right cheek. After so many years, the good herbs in the family have been used up like water, and now it is not very noticeable. Otherwise, Master Pei San would not have allowed him to see Old An."

Mrs. Peng couldn't help but curse her sister-in-law as a "fool" in her heart.

Even if Fourth Mrs. Song was curious, she didn't need to talk about her own family. She was afraid that the women present would be scared by the Eleventh Master if she opened her mouth.

She had no choice but to help Madam Peng the Second Young Lady, "Thinking back then, our Eleventh Uncle almost won the top prize in the imperial examination. Master Pei San respected our Eleventh Uncle's knowledge, so he asked him to come and say hello to Old Lady An. But you, don't scare the old ancestors!" After saying that, she winked at Madam Peng the Second Young Lady.

Second Young Mistress Peng felt that what First Young Mistress Peng said was a bit of flattery.

At that time, everyone said that Peng Shiyi would win the first place in the imperial examination, but after the autumn examination, he only got third place.

Madam Peng is not afraid of being laughed at by others.

She was about to say something else when Peng Shiyi followed Ah Ming in.

Although his face was pale and there was a very eye-catching purple-red tumor on his face, he had an upright posture, was dressed in fine clothes and had sharp eyebrows, with a bit of heroism. People did not feel scared when looking at him. They just felt that the tumor was like a pearl covered with dust, and it was a pity that it grew on his face.

"Mr. An!" His voice was low but mellow, like aged wine, which was unforgettable.

Yu Tang, who was originally talking to Miss Pei Wu who was sitting behind her, suddenly turned pale, forgot what to say, and even her body became stiff.

"What's wrong with you?" Everyone else was attracted by the newcomer and listened attentively to the noise outside. Only Miss Pei San immediately noticed Yu Tang's abnormality and asked with concern, "Is there something we haven't prepared yet?"

In Miss Pei's heart, Yu Tang was a gentle and intelligent person, smiling at everyone and talking to everyone. But at this time, Yu Tang not only ignored her, but his face became paler as the voices outside became louder.

There were an unusually large number of people in the Dharma Hall today. Even though the servants of the Pei family carefully lit sandalwood, it still made people feel a little stuffy.

"Sister Yu, is it possible that she has heatstroke?" Miss Pei San asked worriedly, and went forward to help Yu Tang.

The fifth young lady also stood up, ready to send someone to call a doctor immediately if Yu Tang was not feeling well.

Who would have thought that Yu Tang, who was usually gentle and polite to others, not only ignored them, but also very rudely "slapped" the hand that the fifth lady extended to him, stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, walked behind the maid standing in front of them, and stood on tiptoe to look out.

The disgusting purple-red tumor, the sword-like eyebrows, and the eyes that seemed to be smiling but made people shudder under the dim light...it was him!

The man who had attempted to do something untoward to her in Kuan Temple and had killed her!

In her previous life, she didn't know who he was? She didn't know why he appeared in the room where she stayed in Kuan Temple? She didn't know why he killed her?

She always thought that he was a helper hired by Li Duan.

But what did they say just now?

He is the eleventh master of the Peng family.

He is a person who almost understands the Yuan.

He is a young man from an aristocratic family with achievements and can even become a guest of honor at Pei Yan's banquet!

Why?

The pain of being stabbed several times, the slowly cold and numb limbs before death, and the smell of blood on the ground, all those past events that she had suppressed in her heart since her rebirth and prepared not to mention again were suddenly torn out of her heart again, forcing her to face them, and making her tremble and wonder why Pei Yan valued this person so much? What was the relationship between Pei Yan and him? In her previous life, was her death related to Pei Yan?

Yu Tang felt dizzy, his fingers were cold, his legs were weak, and he could not even stand.

"Sister Yu! Sister Yu!" Miss Wu and Miss San surrounded her from left and right. Miss San said anxiously, "Whatever it is, we will talk about it later. Now Xiao Wu and I will help you go back and sit down. Don't push us again."

Several families had heard of this Peng Shiyi. His visit to see Master Pei had already made Miss Song, Miss Wu and the others very curious, and they all stared at what was going on outside. Yu Tang's movement made quite a commotion, and naturally, it was also seen by the people from several families, who were staring at them in surprise. Miss Wu even began to whisper to Gu Xi in a voice that everyone could hear: "What's wrong with this Miss Yu? Didn't anyone teach her that men and women should not sit together after the age of seven? No matter how good the man is, he shouldn't rush to join in the fun. The Pei family is also unlucky. Why did they invite such a person to attend the lecture and make people laugh for nothing? It's so embarrassing!"

Gu Xi was still there persuading: "Ms. Wu, maybe Miss Yu has her reasons. When we don't know, it's better to say less."

Miss Wu sneered, "What could be the reason? I'm afraid you heard about the reputation of the eleventh master of the Peng family from somewhere, and you want to show your face in front of the eleventh master of the Peng family, right?"

After all, he was their uncle, so the two young ladies of the Peng family glared at Miss Wu.

Miss Song Liu, however, covered her mouth and laughed, looking as if she was being laughed at.

Miss Song Qi probably despised Yu Tang's behavior in her heart. She pretended not to hear anything and asked the maid beside her: "Didn't they say that the lecture would start at noon? How long is it until noon now?"

Miss Pei Wu was so anxious that she was sweating.

Miss Pei felt that Yu Tang had brought shame to her family, so she stood up and walked quickly towards Yu Tang, saying in a low voice, "Miss Yu, please go back to your seat. If there is anything, your great aunt will call you. You don't have to serve her for the time being!"

For the sake of Pei family's reputation, she suppressed her unhappiness and found an excuse for Yu Tang's behavior.

Who knew that Yu Tang would not appreciate it. He just kept spinning around in circles like a ghost hitting a wall, mumbling something to himself.

However, Miss Pei San and Miss Pei Wu, who were closest to her, suddenly looked unhappy.

The two of them were close and could hear clearly that Miss Yu was clearly repeating that she wanted to go find their third uncle.

The two couldn't help but look at each other.

They all saw panic in each other's eyes.

Miss Pei San usually follows Miss Second's lead in everything and doesn't care about anything because she gives in to her elder sister. But in fact, she is more decisive and courageous than Miss Second.

She stepped forward and pulled Yu Tang behind her, blocking the angry Second Miss, and said, "Sister Yu has a heat stroke, I'll take her down to see a doctor." After saying that, without waiting for the Second Miss to say anything, she pulled Yu Tang and called her personal maid, "Come over and help me get Miss Yu out."

The old woman had been paying attention to the young lady she was serving, and upon hearing this she immediately ran over here.

However, Miss Pei San's shout also alarmed the people outside.

Pei Laoan looked behind him.

The maid standing behind Pei Laoan stepped aside.

Peng Shiyi came here on orders, so naturally he paid special attention to the young ladies of the Pei family.

He took the opportunity to look over there coldly, and saw a beautiful woman looking at him with a pale face.

Ever since Peng Shiyi was disfigured, he particularly disliked women like this.

His eyes turned cold and his brows furrowed slightly. He was wondering who this was when the woman suddenly closed her eyes, her legs went limp, and she fell down.

"Ouch!" Pei Laoan stood up immediately.

Several old men and their wives also went there following the reputation.
