Chapter 18: The Terror at the Post Station (Part 2)
The concubine was terrified, her face turned pale and her lips trembled.
"Yuqin, tell me, why did Yujing want to kill Shaoling? Tell me!"
Mother Pei held Pei Shu'er in her arms and asked the concubine named Yuqin in disbelief,
"My aunt treated you two sisters well in the Marquis' Mansion, didn't she? Your three cousins also treated you like daughters. Why did you want to assassinate your eldest cousin?"
"I, I don't know..."
Pei Yuqin had a dagger pressed against her neck, and she replied in a low voice with a flicker in her eyes.
"Hurry up and tell me! She made the move, you must know why. If you don't tell me, I'll kill you with a knife!"
Qiao Qiqi looked at her coldly, speaking cruel words.
Pei Shaoling, who was standing by, looked at her with a faint smile in his narrow peach blossom eyes.
Sure enough, she only looks timid in front of herself, but she is not afraid at all when encountering things.
So why is she afraid of herself?
Or was she also reborn like herself?
Pei Shaoling looked at Qiao Qiqi and guessed secretly.
Qiao Qiqi didn't know that the big boss behind her, Pei, had become interested in her. She was looking coldly at Pei Yuqin, who still had a terrified look on her face.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qiao Qiqi moved the blade of the dagger closer to her slender neck.
A burst of pain accompanied by a wet touch, Pei Yuqin finally realized that the cousin in front of her would really kill her.
Tears rolled down her face casually, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Qiao Qiqi then took the dagger away and said calmly, "Speak!"
"Yes, it was Dad who told us to find a chance to kill Big Brother. He said that as long as Big Brother is killed, we don't have to continue our journey, but can find a place to settle down and wait to return to the capital later."
Pei Yuqin whispered, "He said that it would be best if everyone in the first house died, so that we two sisters could have a good future."
Qiao Qiqi raised an eyebrow. "A good future? You're all exiled. How can you still have a good future?"
"This Second Uncle really wants to put our eldest son's family to death! I wonder if Second Uncle had a hand in the exile of our Pingyuan Marquisate, otherwise there would be no news at all!"
Pei Shaoan, who was standing aside, looked at Pei Yujing lying on the ground with a serious face and said in a cold voice.
There was no information in the original body's memory about the Pei family.
Maybe it’s because he was exiled on the day of his wedding?
But why is there no memory of the original body before getting married?
This is also what Qiao Qiqi couldn't figure out, but she didn't care about it before.
Looking at Pei Yuqin at this moment, she remembered that she knew nothing about the original Qiao family.
The memories she received were all about what happened after she got married.
Seeing that Qiao Qiqi suddenly fell into deep thought, Pei Shaoming tied Pei Yuqin and the still unconscious Pei Yujing together with ropes and threw them into the corner of the room.
"Third brother, please let me go. I was wrong. Can you please let us go?"
Pei Yuqin kept crying and begging for mercy, but no one paid any attention to them.
Tired of listening to this, Pei Shaoming found two pieces of rags from somewhere and stuffed them in their mouths.
After turning off the lights, everyone lay back on their beds.
"Qiqi, what are you thinking about?"
Pei's mother asked her softly.
"I, I was just thinking about my past. Why can't I remember anything?"
After hesitating for a while, Qiao Qiqi asked in a low voice.
I think the Marquis's family must have known about her family background in order to marry the original woman home.
"It's normal that you can't remember."
What I didn’t expect was that Pei’s mother had an expression that looked as if it was a matter of course, as if she had always known it very well.
What?
Qiao Qiqi looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Once upon a time, you suffered from amnesia! That means you have one less soul than others. Your mother consulted the Dharma Master of Tianlong Temple and was told that you had a calamity in your life and that you could only find your soul back if you met the right person."
Mother Pei took her hand and spoke softly.
"Then why would you, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, marry someone like me who has amnesia..."
Just as Qiao Qiqi was about to ask for clarification, she suddenly smelled a strange odor.
Her eyes went dark and she passed out.
When everyone around him fell asleep, there was a chirping sound like insects at the door.
Three long and one short, the sound is crisp, just like a real insect.
But Pei Shaoling knew that was not true, it was a secret code he had set.
"Come in!"
He spoke softly, his voice so soft that it seemed as if he was whispering to himself.
However, the door was soon pushed open.
The person who came in was a man in black, about twenty years old, with a handsome and resolute face.
"Owner, I finally found you!"
The man half-knelt on the ground, a look of self-blame on his face, "It is my subordinates' incompetence that has caused the host to suffer such a great suffering."
"Get up! Anfeng, how is the building now?"
Pei Shaoling leaned against the wall and asked the other party indifferently.
"Everything is fine in the building! Master, let me rescue you and leave here! There was a traitor in the building who concealed your exile and disappearance. I finally managed to eliminate the traitor and found Your Highness."
An Feng stood up and asked Pei Shaoling respectfully.
"No, I don't plan to leave for now. Find An Lei and An Dian to replace a few of the escorting officers, and then find a way to get Old Ruan into the team to treat my injuries."
Pei Shaoling glanced at Qiao Qiqi beside him with gentle eyes and instructed An Feng, "As for the traitor, I already know who it is. You go and make the arrangements!"
In his previous life, he had been in a coma and did not send any secret signals to the people in the building, and these people did not show up.
When he was rescued, he learned that something had happened in the building. Later, he killed a group of people who betrayed him and ascended to that position.
"Does the host already know who it is?"
An Feng was slightly surprised, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Well, you only killed one of them, there are more lurking in the building!"
Pei Shaoling looked at him calmly and said, "As for the other traitors, I'll deal with them myself after I recover from my injuries!"
"Yes, host!"
An Feng bowed to him respectfully, turned around and walked out.
Pei Shaoling looked at his back with a darkened look in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes.
…
"Get up! Don't sleep anymore! Get up!"
Qiao Qiqi was awakened by a loud noise. She covered her aching head and looked around.
I found myself still in the big bunk bed in the east wing.
fine!
Seeing Qiao Qiqi awake, the second officer said loudly, "The boss is merciful and will allow each of you to send one person to accompany him to Taiping Town to buy food and supplies. For the rest of the journey, each of you can cook your own meals."
Qiao Qiqi's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Being stared at by her scorching eyes, the chief constable felt a little embarrassed. He turned to the others and said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. In a quarter of an hour, we'll go directly to the town. Hurry!"
Then he glanced at Pei Shaoling and left.
