Chapter 251 Regret



Yu Tang’s words made Pei Yan a little nervous.

Yes! It was so late, what was he doing here? Even if he was concerned about her condition, he was neither a doctor who could treat her nor her relative who could comfort her... If he wanted to know if she was okay, he could just ask someone around him to come and ask. Besides, Qing Yuan and Ah Ming who were serving him were still with her, so he could know whatever he wanted...

Pei Yan suddenly felt a little regretful about his decision.

However, this regret was fleeting.

In his upbringing, no matter what he did, he had to be careful before doing it, and no matter what the outcome was, he should not regret it. Instead of regretting, he should think about how to deal with the aftermath and how to make things go in the direction he wanted.

Therefore, Pei Yan just coughed lightly and put this feeling behind him, saying: "I thought about what you said to me in the meditation room this morning for a long time, and I still think it is a bit unbelievable, so I thought I would come to you to talk about this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yan regretted it again.

He had come to see her about her condition, so why didn't he just say so? Why did he make such an excuse? You know, lies are like snowballs. If you want to avoid being discovered, you have to tell one lie after another.

Pei Yan's pride would not allow him to become such a person.

Before Yu Tang could finish speaking, he added: "It's not that I doubt what you said, I just find it strange and want to know what else happened in your dream..."

He shut his mouth tightly before he finished speaking.

If he wasn't afraid of being rude, he would have wanted to close his eyes and rub his temples.

He had just warned himself in his heart not to tell lies anymore, but not only did he not stop, he told more and more lies, proving with his behavior the theory that lies are like a snowball.

Seeing his stern expression and serious demeanor, Yu Tang did not think much about it - anyone would feel uneasy if encountering such a thing. Pei Yan was able to talk to her about this calmly and think about it carefully. She already felt that Pei Yan was a kind and open-minded person. She felt that her previous views on Pei Yan were all based on her own standpoint and were petty.

She said hurriedly, "I don't remember much after I woke up. What do you want to know? I'll try to think about it while I still have some memory."

This was not an excuse.

Firstly, because of her rebirth, there have been great changes between this life and her previous life. Secondly, her previous life was narrow-minded and she knew only a limited amount of things, so she was afraid of misleading Pei Yan.

She could only tell Pei Yan things that she was very sure of.

Pei Yan made up an excuse on the spur of the moment, and he had no idea what to ask.

He couldn't help but frown.

Yu Tang immediately sat up straight, waiting for him to ask questions.

Pei Yan looked at it and his mouth twitched slightly.

It's really interesting that the person who used to dare to say and do anything in front of him suddenly became so honest and well-behaved.

Pei Yan's eyes showed a little smile, and he wiped away his previous frustration. He wondered if he continued with this topic, would Yu Tang think that he didn't believe her. But if he didn't continue with this topic, how could he explain why he came here so late...

He was in a dilemma when Chen came in with a copper kettle of hot water and refilled Pei Yan's tea. She also said gratefully, "If it weren't for you today, our Atang would have lost his life. Your kindness will never be forgotten by our family."

"Mrs. Yu, you're welcome." Pei Yan replied, glancing at Yu Tang, thinking: So Miss Yu's maiden name is Atang, but I don't know if it's the "Tang" in candy or the "Tang" in crabapple. If it's the "Tang" in candy, then it can be called "Yiran", which means both sweetness and freedom; if it's the "Tang" in crabapple, the peony is the king of flowers, so the nickname can be "Yajun". However, neither Yiran nor Yajun fits the girl's temperament, or "Xiangyu"? The wild crabapple blossoms and the fragrant jade floats... a bit vulgar...

He was thinking wildly, and he especially wanted to ask Yu Tang what her nickname was.

But judging from Chen's expression, she might not tell him.

He suddenly felt that Chen's presence here was a bit of an eyesore.

Pei Yan was silent for a moment. Before Chen asked him what he was doing, he spoke first and said to Chen, "I have something important to ask Miss Yu. Can you help us get rid of the servants in the room?"

That's what it means to get them to avoid it.

If it was any other man, Chen would definitely feel that it was inappropriate, but the one who said this was Pei Yan, the head of the most prominent family in Lin'an, Pei. If he had any other thoughts, he would not have to beat around the bush. Chen naturally did not doubt it, and even thought that something might have happened in the Pei family, and Pei Yan asked Yu Tang's question without telling anyone else.

Whatever the reason, Chen felt it was difficult to refuse.

She agreed with a smile, led all the servants in the room out, and closed the door for them.

Yu Tang also thought it would be best not to let Chen know about her "dream".

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

She was extremely alert, looking at Pei Yan with sharp eyes, as if she was back in her childhood, as nervous as when her father randomly checked her to recite.

Pei Yan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He drank a sip of tea and found a way to ask Yu Tang: "Did you dream about what happened to our family later?"

Yu Tang thought of the rumors outside that Pei Yan had stepped on his own nephew to become the sect leader.

The Pei family is definitely not a solid block.

If she could help Pei Yan to attract some people in advance, Pei Yan would definitely suffer less and his journey would be smoother.

She said, "I remember that three years later, the eldest young master and a man named Pei Chan passed the imperial examination together. The eldest young master seemed to have a higher ranking, while Pei Chan's ranking was lower. So the eldest young master was famous, while Pei Chan was average. But everyone said that Pei Chan was a 'capable official'..."

There are so many officials in the imperial court, and those who can be called "capable officials" are not just ordinary capable.

The Pei family is always very lively when a new baby is born.

But in Yu Tang's impression, Pei Chan's fame did not spread until he passed the imperial examination.

She said this because she wanted Pei Yan to have a good relationship with Pei Chan before he became famous.

This was just like when she said that she knew the Pei family was planning to buy farmland in Jiangxi. When Pei Chan's name came out of Yu Tang's mouth, Pei Yan was shocked.

This forced him to face reality. He couldn't even deceive himself by saying that Yu Tang was just dreaming.

This is really a headache.

Pei Yan touched his nose helplessly.

Yu Tang sensed Pei Yan's emotions, so she whispered, "Everything I said is true!"

Pei Yan certainly believed it, but now he had no way to confirm that what she said would definitely happen.

He shouldn't have brought up this topic.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Pei Yan sat down, he regretted it for the third time.

This can't go on like this.

He was talking complete nonsense in front of Miss Yu.

Pei Yan took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the window frame and opened it.

It was already completely dark, and the big red lanterns under the eaves shone on the bluestone floor tiles, casting a faint red hue.

Pei Yan faced the night breeze that was already somewhat warm on his face and exhaled, as if this could get rid of all the unreliable thoughts in his heart.

He quickly reorganized his thoughts, turned around and leaned against the window frame, and said to Yu Tang: "I forced it. Dreams are intermittent. It is really too difficult for you to tell me what will happen to the Pei family."

No problem!

Yu Tang really wanted to answer Pei Yan like this, but she really didn't dare to say anything more.

She had no choice but to smile at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan took this opportunity to change the subject and put everything back on track: "How are you feeling? Is Qing Yuan doing well here? What are you doing to kill time in the house?"

Yu Tang didn't understand why Pei Yan didn't ask her about her dream, but this also made her feel relieved. She smiled and followed Pei Yan's words and replied: "I don't think there is anything wrong. Thanks to you, Miss Qingyuan and Ah Ming are very considerate, much better than our Shuangtao. As for the house, everyone came to visit me, people came and went, it was very lively, and it was night in the blink of an eye. There was no need to kill time!"

Pei Yan felt that this was not a good idea, and said, "Today is the first day, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming to visit the patient. It will be fine after the novelty wears off." Even as he said this, a lonely little man jumped out of his mind.

He couldn't help but say, "Although your health is important, it's not comfortable for you to lie in the house like this. How about this, I'll let Qingyuan accompany you to the Dharma Hall tomorrow to listen to Master Wuneng's lecture. If you're not interested, you can also go for a walk outside the temple. I heard that there are nearly 400 vendors setting up stalls outside the temple, and they have everything you need. They sell everything. It's good to buy something and take it back as a souvenir."

Yu Tang felt that if he went, Miss Xu would definitely go with him, and given Miss Xu's personality, it would be impossible for them to keep quiet.

How about making three rules with Miss Xu?

Pei Yan saw that Yu Tang did not agree immediately, so he guessed that Yu Tang was afraid of running into Peng Shiyi again. Without waiting for her answer, he said, "As for Peng Shiyi, don't worry. I have already given instructions to restrict Peng Shiyi's access. He is a smart man and should leave in the next two days. As for Master Wuneng, his lectures are average, but his voice is loud, his emotions are full, and he can tell jokes. Most people think he is a good storyteller. It would be good to go and have a look."

Yu Tang felt that he should go and thank Mr. Pei, and it would be nice to go to the Dharma Hall to listen to the lecture tomorrow, so he agreed.

Pei Yan was in a good mood when he saw that she was obedient, and he continued to arrange her things: "Wu Neng will have a debate with the monks in the temple this afternoon. It will be noisy and there will be nothing good to hear. You can just rest in the room, read some books, paint a few pictures, or call a doctor to give you moxibustion or massage. I will talk to Hu Xing. If you have anything to do, you can also ask him to do it."

She couldn't order the third steward of Pei Mansion around no matter how urgent the matter was!

Yu Tang could feel Pei Yan's concern for her, so she obediently replied "yes".

Pei Yan felt more comfortable in his heart and thought that he should arrange something for Yu Tang to do.

His mind was racing.

Asking a jewelry shop master to come and make jewelry for you...is not quite appropriate.

Buy a few maids to play on the swings with her...those maids can't learn to behave themselves right away.

I asked my nieces to come over to keep her company, but they all seemed to be absorbed in the Buddhist stories of the incompetent master, so I'm afraid they might not be willing to come.

The lecture will be held in a few days. What can we do for Miss Yu so that she won't be bored?

Pei Yan was at a loss for a moment.
