Chapter 165 As long as you die, I will forgive you
Bai Shaoting got off the carriage with the food box and saw Jiang Yueyao standing at the gate.
In winter, it is already very cold at sunset.
She stood in the wind, staring eagerly in the direction he was coming back. If you didn't know, you would have thought she was his newlywed wife, waiting for him home with great anticipation.
As soon as Bai Shaoting got off the carriage, Jiang Yueyao saw him.
Her eyes lit up, and she walked towards him, taking the food box from his hand first, her voice earnest.
"Are you back? Are you cold? Are you tired?"
Bai Shaoting stopped and sneered.
"Miss Jiang, if others didn't know you, they would think we have a special relationship."
Jiang Yueyao was stunned, then took a step back. Bai Shaoting laughed at her step back.
"Such a big reaction? This isn't necessary, is it?"
"I think you are right. I was too impatient. If I cause a misunderstanding to the girl who likes you, I will be guilty of a great sin." Jiang Yueyao said with a smile.
Bai Shaoting raised his eyebrows.
"Girl who likes me? Where is she? Come out and let me see her."
Jiang Yueyao was amused by him: "Qingqing said that the girls who like her third brother have lined up from here to outside the city gate."
"Tsk, do you believe what she says?"
The two of them walked inside while talking.
Not long after they left, Bai Shaoting changed the subject.
"He's a fine man, he's eaten his meal, but he's a little ungrateful. Don't give him the food."
He said and looked at the girl beside him, waiting for her reaction.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueyao just smiled lightly.
"I know he'll say 'the taste is just okay' or 'it's just okay'."
Bai Shaoting looked surprised.
He couldn't help but give Jiang Yueyao a thumbs up.
"You guessed it right. I asked him how it tasted, and he said it was just okay."
"I'm just curious," Bai Shaoting asked her, crossing his arms over his chest. "He's such a conservative person, and his every move is unpleasant. How could such a nice girl like you fall in love with him?"
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help laughing.
"He's not as bad as you say, and I'm not as good as you say."
"As for why you like him?"
"I can't explain it clearly," she said with a smile, looking at Bai Shaoting, who looked puzzled. "When you find a girl you like, you'll understand."
She took a step forward carrying the lunch box.
"Then I'll come see you tomorrow."
Bai Shaoting raised his eyebrows and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.
----
The emperor has been in a coma for many days and has shown no signs of waking up.
Pei Xiang became more and more unscrupulous.
If he had gone to Xianfu Palace to look for Concubine Rou before, he would have done so secretly and left at night. But yesterday, he went to Xianfu Palace in the evening, stayed there all night, and came out early the next morning.
After leaving the palace and returning to the Prime Minister's Residence, he saw Pei Yunjin as soon as he entered the yard.
Pei Zhangyuan has always had high hopes for his eldest daughter. He has always trained her to be the queen. A few years ago, when the prince was young, he wanted her to marry him.
But she just happened to fall in love with Lu Sui.
Lu Sui is a wise, intelligent, resourceful, and scheming man who will do anything to achieve his goals.
They are actually the same kind of people.
But he hated him terribly.
In the court, the two men were at loggerheads with each other and had their own powerful forces. The emperor was well aware of the open and covert struggles between them. The more fiercely they fought, the more secure his position would be.
But ever since the emperor fell into a coma and the court was in turmoil, the third prince supported by Pei Zhangyuan has been the most powerful and has suppressed the other princes. Unexpectedly, Lu Sui, who had been inactive, actually stood on the side of the fourth prince.
Pei Zhangyuan still doesn't quite understand his actions.
He knew very well that Lu Sui looked down on even the Third Prince, so how could he look down on the Fourth Prince?
Everything that happened next seemed to go smoothly.
Suddenly, Lu Sui's secret agent in the Imperial Tutor's Mansion discovered a letter of treason. Lu Sui was imprisoned, and the Fourth Prince died...
During this period of time, Pei Zhangyuan has been thinking about a question...
What was Lu Sui's purpose in sending himself to the imperial prison?
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't come up with any reason.
Because going to the imperial prison would do Lu Sui no good at all...
Pei Yunjin waited for her father all night.
She stayed by her mother's side in the first half of the night and stood in the yard in the second half, from dusk to dawn. Her mind was in a mess. Sometimes she thought of her mother's red eyes from crying, sometimes she thought of her father's constant care and concern for the third prince, and there was also Concubine Rou's face that was 70% similar to her mother's.
No!
It’s not that Concubine Rou looks like her mother, but that her mother looks like Concubine Rou.
She suddenly remembered that she had heard some rumors many years ago, but her mother told her not to pay attention to them and that her father was not that kind of person.
But what about now?
She looked at her father who walked in with a happy face, and Pei Yunjin's mental preparation, which had been going on for a long time, collapsed in an instant.
"Father," she began, her voice trembling, "Mom is sick. Would you like to go see her?"
Pei Zhangyuan stopped in front of her.
A pair of eyes that radiated a sharp light even when looking at his own daughter.
Pei Yunjin had nowhere to hide in front of him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he started crying.
"Father went to Xianfu Palace again last night, right?"
Pei Zhangyuan didn't say anything.
He acquiesced to her question.
Pei Yunjin suddenly lost control.
"So those rumors outside are true. The Third Prince is yours..."
A crisp sound of "pa" cut off her unfinished words.
She covered her face and looked at her father in disbelief: "You...you hit me?"
"Go back to your yard! Don't come to your mother's place again without my permission! She's the one who taught you bad things, making you dare to talk nonsense in front of me."
He turned away with a flick of his sleeves. Pei Yunjin stood there, watching his father's departing back. He put down his hand that was covering his cheek, let it hang by his side, and gradually clenched his fist.
There was a noise behind me.
She turned around and saw her sister Pei Yunzhu.
The other person was sitting in a wheelchair, having lost a lot of weight. The originally proud and arrogant person had now become gloomy.
As soon as Pei Yunjin saw her, he turned around and was about to leave.
But before he took two steps, he heard Pei Yunzhu's voice.
"Pei Yunjin, you caused me to lose my legs. I told you that you will be punished."
"Now, isn't this retribution coming?"
"The man you like is in prison, and you turned around and wanted to hook up with the third prince, but who knew that he was actually your father's..." Pei Yunzhu laughed.
After laughing, he stared at her with a gloomy face.
"Retribution! This is your retribution!"
"A vicious and hypocritical woman like you should go to hell."
"Why don't you just die?"
"Haven't you always wanted to ask for my forgiveness? Then just go and die. As long as you die, I will forgive you."
Pei Yunjin suddenly turned around and looked at her.
The face with the slap mark had a hideous and distorted expression.
"Now, what does it matter whether you forgive me or not? Do you think I care?"
"Pei Yunzhu, don't try to irritate me again."
"If you dare to speak rudely to me again, I will personally teach you how to be a good useless person!"
