Chapter 184 You Must Not Go to Courtyard No. 8
Their whole family moved to the capital, and only Mrs. Pei stayed here, relying on the servants for support. It was really lonely.
No wonder she turned up the volume so loudly, and she was watching a variety show, it turned out that she wanted to have an atmosphere of laughter and joy.
The servant turned down the volume of the TV.
Mrs. Pei took Pei Zhiwan's hand and greeted Di Chen: "The eldest son of the Di family is here. Why did you suddenly come back together at this time? But what happened at home?"
Pei Zhiwan hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandma, nothing happened. It's just that Mr. Di suddenly asked me to go back to Tongcheng, saying that he was going to see Mr. Lin in the No. 8 courtyard of Shitou Lane in the south of the city..."
Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Mrs. Pei: "What? Go to the No. 8 courtyard? Zhiwan, you must not go!"
The originally kind grandmother suddenly raised her voice and her face became stern.
Not only was Pei Zhiwan frightened, but Di Chen was also shocked. I don't know why she reacted like this.
"Grandma? Do you know Mr. Lin?" Pei Zhiwan asked cautiously.
Mrs. Pei smiled coldly: "I don't know him, but you must not go to Courtyard No. 8."
Pei Zhiwan asked in confusion: "Why? But Grandpa Dichen brought me from the imperial capital to see Grandpa Lin, I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Pei turned her head to look at Dichen and said to him very dissatisfiedly: "Go back and tell your grandfather that I suddenly got an emergency tonight, and my granddaughter must stay to take care of me and can't go."
Dichen was stunned, he didn't know whether to agree or not.
With his treatment of the old man, it was definitely not a whim to bring Pei Zhiwan here this time, and he was afraid that he couldn't stop it.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mrs. Pei directly ordered him to leave.
"Send Master Di home. There are only female guests at home late at night. It is not convenient to keep male guests. Please forgive me."
The servant then said to Di Chen: "Master Di, please..."
Di Chen showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and subconsciously looked at Pei Zhiwan for help.
This was the first time he was driven away from childhood, and there was embarrassment.
Pei Zhiwan knew grandma's temper, and forcing Di Chen to stay here would definitely backfire.
Anyway, the old man also said that there was no hurry to go back tonight, so he could only take a delaying tactic.
"Mr. Di, then you go back, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
As she said that, she winked at Di Chen.
If he didn't leave, she couldn't ask grandma the reason.
Similarly, when he went back, he would take the opportunity to ask the old man why he had to take her to see Master Lin tonight.
Di Chen understood and stood up to leave.
Pei Zhiwan appeased Old Madam Pei and said apologetically: "Grandma, I didn't know your taboo, after all, no one has told me, and Old Master Di only said that he would take me back to Tongnan to meet a friend, and he didn't say who it was before, so I couldn't refuse. After all, our Pei family has now taken back the position of the head of the Pei family and the old house, and we can't do without the assistance of the Di family."
Old Madam Pei was a reasonable person, and Pei Zhiwan told her his thoughts truthfully.
Old Madam Pei sighed deeply and patted her hands: "It's hard for you, Zhiwan. The Lin family's affairs are not your business. Don't get involved. Master Di is also old and confused. What help can a girl like you provide?"
Pei Zhiwan took the opportunity to ask: "Grandma, what's the situation with the Lin family? And with Lin Feng's family..."
But Old Madam Pei shook her head and interrupted her: "You don't need to ask, just remember, don't go to Courtyard No. 8."
Seeing that she was so determined, Pei Zhiwan realized that no matter how much she asked, she would not get anything out of it, so she nodded and said: "Okay, grandma."
Then the two of them talked about the affairs of the imperial capital, and Old Madam Pei laughed again.
"That's great. The direct bloodline of our Pei family has finally returned to the orthodox line. Your grandfather should be smiling in his grave."
"Zhi Wan, you are the lucky star of our Pei family. It's a pity that you suffered in the countryside all those years..."
Mrs. Pei's eyes turned red again.
Pei Zhi Wan hurriedly comforted her, "Grandma, let's just look forward. Hehe, the future will be good. Now the new house has been renovated and we have moved there. Grandma, you should go to the capital. It's too lonely to live here alone, and we are worried about it. My parents also said that they will come to pick you up in person on the weekend. Don't make excuses then."
"Grandma, when you go back, keep an eye on my brother and make him marry a granddaughter-in-law for you as soon as possible, and then give you a great-grandson to play with."
Her words made Mrs. Pei laugh so hard that she couldn't stop, and she kept agreeing, "Okay..."
Pei Zhiwan took the opportunity to stretch out his little finger to hook with her, "Grandma, it's a deal, don't regret it anymore."
Mrs. Pei realized that her granddaughter had been trapped, and smiled, "You girl... Hey, it's not that I don't want to go. I also feel lonely living here by myself. It's just that it's hard to leave my
hometown, and your grandpa is here too..." Pei Zhiwan hurriedly persuaded: "Grandma, it's okay. We will accompany you back every New Year and other holidays to pay homage to grandpa. Grandpa will be really happy when he knows that we are living well in the old house in the imperial capital. Otherwise, he will feel bad for you living here alone."
Madam Pei couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She sighed, nodded, and agreed.
After Madam Pei fell asleep, Pei Zhiwan returned to her room.
Nothing here was moved, and the servants would clean up every day just to make it convenient for you to live back. After all, the old lady is still here.
She sent a message to Di Chen.
[night: How are you doing over there? ]
[Di Chen: Grandpa and the others haven't come out yet, how are you doing? ]
[night: Grandma won't tell you the reason, she's asleep now. ]
[Di Chen: I have some news for you. ]
Pei Zhiwan put the phone aside and fell asleep.
She was startled by a quick phone ring and quickly picked up the phone.
"Zhiwan, I'm at your door. Come with me to see Grandpa Lin. It's a matter of life and death."
After saying that, Di Chen didn't give her a chance to speak and hung up directly.
Pei Zhiwan didn't feel a headache.
Today was really a strange day, full of confusing things.
Grandma didn't let me go, but they were urging me to go, it was a matter of life and death.
Forget it, saving lives is the most important thing.
She immediately got dressed, got out of bed, and tiptoed out of the house. Fortunately, Mrs. Pei didn't notice.
"Get in the car quickly."
Di Chen lowered his voice, and when she hesitated, he pulled her into the car.
The car rushed to Courtyard No. 8 in the middle of the night.
Di Chen pressed the doorbell, and the door creaked open.
The old housekeeper led the way in front, leading the two of them straight to the upper room.
It took five or six minutes to walk through the four-entry courtyard.
The courtyard was dark, and only one room was lit.
"Miss Pei, go in, please save the old man."
The old housekeeper suddenly cried and said this.
Pei Zhiwan understood that it turned out that the old man Di brought her here to save his life.
The old housekeeper opened the door, Di Chen walked in front, Pei Zhiwan followed behind, and entered an inner room.
