The rustling of the bamboo forest, the green shadows that blocked out the sun, the sound of branches breaking under footsteps, and the rustling sound all combined into a sea that rushed towards Yu Tang, making her suddenly feel as if she was in the forest behind Ku'an Temple.
"You are blinded by lust!"
"This is a token of allegiance!"
"Can you handle this alone?!"
"You'd better stop flattering yourself!"
Peng Shiyi's sarcastic remarks were like a sword, slicing through the memories that she had suppressed deep in her heart and kept telling herself to forget, causing the scene of that day to reappear in her mind.
Li Duan's shocked expression.
Peng Shiyi’s ferocious face.
Sharp scissors.
Yu Tang was instantly horrified, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
She instinctively sensed the danger.
"Let's go!" Yu Tang pulled Ah Xing and ran into the shop.
Ah Xing hesitated at first and turned to look at Peng Shiyi.
The murderous intent in Peng Shiyi's eyes made her heart shudder.
Her head was buzzing, and she not only started running after Yu Tang, but because she was in better shape than Yu Tang, she ran ahead of Yu Tang and pulled Yu Tang forward.
Peng Shiyi was slightly surprised.
He thought Yu Tang would run away, but he didn't expect Yu Tang to be so alert. He just glanced at him and ran away.
Is there something wrong with his expression?
Peng Shiyi didn't have time to think about it and chased after Yu Tang, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart.
He shouldn't have shown up in person.
But if he didn't come forward himself and entrusted it to someone else, once that person knew who Yu Tang was, it would be good enough that they didn't go to the Pei family to inform on him, let alone help him catch him.
Even the shopkeeper Gao who used to be submissive to him was hesitant when he asked him to inquire about Yu Tang's whereabouts. It was only after he said that he wanted to curry favor with Yu Tang and give her some gifts so that she would say a few good words in front of Pei Yan that Shopkeeper Gao reluctantly agreed to help inquire about Yu Tang's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, a fire suddenly burned in his chest. He pulled out the dagger in his hand. The ferocity in his eyes became even stronger, and he ran faster.
But in just a few moments, Yu Tang was already within reach. If he got any closer, he could reach out and grab Yu Tang's hair.
If Pei Yan wants him to die, he will want Pei Yan's beloved to die!
Peng Shiyi's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he was about to catch Yu Tang, but the little maid running in front of Yu Tang screamed, and threw Yu Tang to the side with all her strength, throwing Yu Tang into the bamboo forest nearby.
"Someone's been murdered! Someone's been murdered!" Ah Xing shouted and rushed towards Peng Shiyi.
Yu Tang's eyes were red with anger: "A Xing!"
Whether in the past life or this life, Yu Tang never really understood Ah Xing. She just wanted to repay Ah Xing's kindness in the past life, and wanted to give her a more decent life, and then choose a good family for her, so that she could live happily under the protection of the Pei family. However, she didn't expect that Bai Xing in the past life saved her once, and Ah Xing in this life was even more resolute than in the past life, and chose a more difficult path than in the past life.
She rolled and crawled, trying to jump over to grab Peng Shiyi and strangle him.
In this life, she will definitely succeed.
Even if I die, I will pull Peng Shiyi to support me.
But before she stood up, she saw Pei Yan appear at the end of the bamboo forest.
"Xiaguang!" Yu Tang shouted at the top of his lungs, never as loud as he did at that moment.
Then she saw Pei Yan rushing over with a drastic change of expression.
Behind him, the Pei family's guards appeared.
Peng Shiyi smiled bitterly.
His luck was always just a little bit off.
He was disfigured by the envy of his clan members; he was loyal to the clan leader, but offended Pei Yan; he left his hometown, but the Pei family became more and more powerful, and his family even wanted to use him to please Pei Yan in order to gain favor with him.
He couldn't do anything to Master Peng, but he didn't want Pei Yan to be complacent and get away with it.
Then let's fight to the death.
He turned around to grab Yu Tang, but Ah Xing hugged his legs instead.
Peng Shiyi laughed out loud and thought it was very funny.
There are always so-called loyal servants who do not know how to love themselves and think that it is their duty to protect their masters from dangers.
Then he will help these people!
Without thinking, he raised the dagger and stabbed Ah Xing.
Yu Tang hugged Peng Shiyi's arm tightly and bit it hard.
Even if I can't kill Peng Shiyi, I will make him lose a layer of skin.
Yu Tang was like a newborn calf, running along the road, never looking back, and never admitting defeat. He was tossed left and right by Peng Shiyi, who was waving his arms in pain, like a blade of grass in the wind, but he was stubborn and refused to fall down.
"Third Madam!" Ah Xing's eyes were filled with tears and she bit Peng Shiyi's thigh.
Peng Shiyi felt pain and ignored Yu Tang, stabbing Ah Xing again.
Pei Yan, who was rushed over, grabbed his wrist.
"Peng Shiyi, you are looking for death!" With red eyes, he kicked Peng Shiyi in the heart.
Peng Shiyi groaned and covered his chest.
The Pei family guards rushed forward and pressed Peng Shiyi to the ground.
Yu Tang collapsed on the ground, shouting "Bai Xing", but was hugged by Pei Yan.
Ah Xing looked at Yu Tang blankly. Seeing the Third Master, who usually kept his emotions to himself, his hands were shaking, she thought that the Third Madam must have been frightened and that was why she called her name wrong!
She struggled to stand up, but couldn't for a long time. A security guard nearby saw her and helped her up. Only then did she realize that her mouth was dry and her legs were shaking.
Ah Xing looked at Peng Shiyi, who was as motionless as a dead person, and wondered how she had been so brave just now as to think about saving the Third Wife.
She chuckled twice, and then saw the Second Madam, Qing Yuan and others hurried over.
From a distance, the panicked voice of the Second Wife could be heard: "I thought that Third Uncle, you were coming to look for my sister-in-law, so I specially called a few maids and servants aside. How come..."
In Ah Xing's impression, the scene afterwards became a bit chaotic.
Peng Shiyi was taken away, the mutton shop was closed, and Mrs. Wu and others were politely invited to leave. The Pei family borrowed the private room of the shopkeeper and waited for the doctor to come and check the pulse of the third wife. The third master kept hugging the third wife and murmured in a low voice, "It's my fault", "I forgot about this matter", he looked nervous, as if he was frightened. On the contrary, the third wife who had just been hunted down was calmer than the third master. She kept stroking the third master's back and comforting him, "I'm fine", "Everyone is fine"...
Ah Xing couldn't bear to watch, so she followed Qing Yuan and retreated. She changed her clothes and waited for the doctor to come. The doctor's apprentice helped her clean the wounds, and then she followed the carriage back to the Third Wife's residence.
Pei Yan was furious and immediately sent someone to invite people from the Peng family.
Yu Tang didn't know how they discussed it, and she didn't want to know.
She believed that Pei Yan would teach the Peng family a lesson and help her get revenge.
What she didn't expect was that when Pei Yan came back at night, he held Yu Tang, who was resting on the bed, with his arms shaking.
"I'm really fine!" She comforted Pei Yan again.
Pei Yan didn't say anything, but just hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Yu Tang laughed like a silver bell and said, "Are you going to strangle me to death?"
“Don’t say that word!” Pei Yan, who was usually fearless, didn’t even dare to say “die”. He shouted at Yu Tang in a low voice, and said in fear, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t hold back my actions, I was too narrow-minded, and I didn’t have the magnanimity to tolerate others, which put you in danger…”
This was not the Pei Yan she knew.
In her mind, Pei Yan is a cheerful, confident and proud person. When would he question his decisions and principles in dealing with people?
Yu Tang felt distressed and hugged Pei Yan, saying, "How can you be blamed for this? You have encountered so many things in your life. Are those people like Peng Shiyi, who can't beat you, so they take it out on women and children? If you feel embarrassed, it should be Peng Shiyi who is embarrassed, right? Why should those who did nothing wrong blame themselves, while those who did something wrong are justified? Xiaguang, you should not be such a person!"
"It's not me..." Pei Yan was interrupted by Yu Tang as soon as he opened his mouth. She said, "If there is anything wrong, it's because we were too careless. If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. People like Peng Shiyi should not be given a chance. If you don't believe it, you might as well check it out. When he was exiled to the northwest by his family, he must have done other bad things."
Because of the Peng family's utilitarianism, it is impossible for them to leave such a "talent" as Peng Shiyi unused.
Yu Tang continued, "He came to trouble us because he wanted to pick the weak ones. He did offend you, but it was the Peng family who punished him. Why didn't he dare to deal with the Peng family?"
She indulged Pei Yan unconditionally.
Pei Yan's expression was obviously cheered up.
But he still held Yu Tang's hand and whispered, "You should be more careful. You dreamed that you saw Peng Shiyi and Li Duan talking together. I only wanted to deal with Li Duan, but I didn't think that the cause was Peng Shiyi. In the end, it was because I didn't think clearly about what you said." He looked at Yu Tang knowingly, "I won't be so careless in the future."
Pei Yan said, and hugged Yu Tang again.
Yu Tang patted Pei Yan's back and said gently, "Didn't you say you accompanied Old Master Zhang to Xiangshan? Why did you suddenly come to Tongzhou and go to the mutton shop?"
If Pei Yanwan had been gone for a moment, she and Ah Xing might have died, right?
Pei Yan's body stiffened slightly, he hummed twice, and said softly: "I have nothing to do here, so I came to Tongzhou. Aren't we here to pick someone up?"
Isn't it because you want to see her earlier?
Yu Tang rested his head on Pei Yan's shoulder, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and said: "Xia Guang, I'm glad you're here!"
Fortunately, she could meet him in this life.
But before she could be moved for a quarter of an hour, Pei Yan said arrogantly: "That's right! If it weren't for me, you would be in trouble again."
Yes! If it weren't for Pei Yan, she would be in trouble again.
But Li Duan is gone, Peng Shiyi will never appear by her side again, the Yu family got the shopping list for the Wanshou Festival, Gao eloped with her cousin... everything is different from before.
She thought about the times she met Pei Yan in the pawn shop, in Changxing Street, and in Yujia Forest... Every time, he managed to save her from danger.
She thought of Kuan Temple.
She felt that she had to go to Kuan Temple to find out where the cousin who had taken care of her was and whether she had received his care in her previous life.
Although she was only thinking about revenge at that time, everything in this life has changed. There are some things that she is unlikely to find out the truth, but what does it matter? She just needs to know that he had a connection with her in the previous life.
She remembered the time when Pei Yan held her in his arms on the green path.
The eyes are full of lush greenery.
Just like the last scene that came into her eyes when she fell to the ground in her previous life.
But she never woke up in her previous life.
In this life, those who love her hold her.
Yu Tang kissed Pei Yan's forehead tenderly and lovingly.
