Chapter 29 Xu Shikai
Pei Jingyuan was stunned when he heard Pei Jingchuan's words. He didn't know that Xu's father had been married before, so when he heard Pei Jingchuan say this, he was immediately confused.
However, Xu Qingyue and her mother knew very well in their hearts that when they heard what Pei Jingchuan said, they immediately became scared.
Xu's mother was worried and asked: How did Pei Jingchuan know all these things? This happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Pei Jingchuan was only a child of two or three years old! How could the young master of the Duke's Mansion know so much about the affairs of little people like them? And this incident back then didn't seem to have made a big fuss!
"Mom, are you okay? Why are you sick?" At this time, a young man's anxious voice suddenly came from outside.
After a while, a young man in a dark green robe with cloud patterns came in hurriedly from outside. As soon as he came, he passed the crowd and went straight to Yu Xu's mother's bed.
"Kai'er, aren't you studying in the academy? Why are you back?" Mother Xu asked in surprise, looking at her son who was supposed to be in the academy.
At this time, Xu Shikai looked at his mother lying on the bed, and said with concern: "Our academy is closed today. I heard that you were sick, so I came back to see you! Mother, is Min okay?"
When Xu's mother heard what her son said, she couldn't help but feel a little moved and said, "Mom...it's nothing! Mom...it's just..."
Xu's mother originally wanted to say that she was fine, and she didn't want to make her son worry. However, when she looked up and saw Xu Qingyan's clear eyes looking at her, she stopped talking.
Mother Xu looked at Xu Qingyan and couldn't help but explain in her heart: "No, if she told Kai'er that she was fine, how could she keep Xu Qingyan to torture her?
So, Xu's mother changed the subject and covered her chest with her hands and said, "Mom, I don't know why I feel so upset, and even my whole body hurts a little, but you don't have to worry about me, your second sister is back here, she will take good care of me."
"Second sister?" Xu Shikai asked doubtfully.
After listening to his mother's words, Xu Shikai slowly turned around to look at Xu Qingyan who was standing beside him. Because he was too concerned about his mother's health, he didn't notice that Xu Qingyan had returned.
He had never grown up with Xu Qingyan. Although they were not very familiar with each other, and he did not know about the marriage exchange between Xu's mother and Xu Qingyue, when he heard about it, he still thought that Xu Qingyan had designed to snatch his sister's marriage. Therefore, he had a lot of opinions about Xu Qingyan.
What's more, now, Xu Shikai saw Xu Qingyan wearing silk and satin and with exquisite makeup, and then glanced at Xu Qingyue standing next to her. Comparing Xu Qingyan and Xu Qingyue, Xu Qingyue looked much duller, and he instantly became angry.
"Xu Qingyan, you actually have the nerve to come back? You shameless person, you actually dared to snatch my sister's marriage. You are such a despicable concubine. Why haven't you been divorced by the young master yet?" Xu Shikai shouted at Xu Qingyan.
"Pa!" As soon as Xu Shikai finished speaking, a crisp slap sounded on his face. Xu Shikai was stunned by the slap.
Xu Qingyan saw this scene and said to Pei Jingchuan: "Young Master, you beat him well! You should beat to death this arrogant and self-righteous person."
After Xu Qingyan finished speaking, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: [This Xu Shikai is a scum with talent but no moral character. After participating in the autumn examination, he successfully passed the first place. He successfully entered the Ministry of Revenue by hooking up with the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue. After he won the heart of the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue, he asked the Minister of Revenue to pave the way for him, and later replaced the position of the young master. He climbed up all the way and became the top leader of the new emperor. It's a pity that he is a treacherous minister. The people of Daxia are living in misery under him! ]
Pei Jingchuan, who had just taken action, was stunned when he heard Xu Qingyan's complaints. A hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Pei Jingchuan had never thought that the young boy standing in front of him would become a treacherous minister in the near future? Moreover, he would actually replace him? But based on his arrogance and inability to distinguish right from wrong, Pei Jingchuan was extremely disgusted with this boy.
Pei Jingchuan tried to calm down for a while, and secretly remembered this news in his heart. He must not let him enter the Ministry of Revenue. And he had to remind the Minister of Revenue. After all, the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue was a kind woman. If she married a man like Xu Shikai, her life would probably not be very good.
"You...you actually hit me? Who are you..." When Xu Shikai turned around angrily and wanted to curse, he suddenly remembered that Xu Qingyan was married to her elder sister Xu Qingyue, so the one who was standing next to Xu Qingyan and attacked him just now was the young master.
"Cough cough..." At this moment, Xu Shikai choked back the curse he wanted to say and couldn't help coughing twice.
After Pei Jingchuan withdrew his hand, he sneered at Xu's mother and said, "How rude! Madam Xu really taught her children well!"
After hearing what Pei Jingchuan said, Xu Qingyue was depressed and said: Why did this young master scold her too? She didn't say anything!
When Xu Qingyue saw Xu Qingyan, a trace of resentment flashed across her face. She glared at Xu Qingyan quietly and said angrily: It's Xu Qingyan again! She let herself be infected with this unprovoked disaster again!
At this time, Xu Shikai, who was being scolded, came to his senses. When he heard that it was Pei Jingchuan who was scolding him, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, but he was more unwilling to accept it.
Xu Shikai stubbornly explained to Pei Jingchuan: "Young Master, you don't know that my second sister grew up in the countryside. She has never been to school and has never learned the rules of propriety. She is just a vain person! And..."
Xu Shikai paused, looked up at Pei Jingchuan's face and continued, "Besides, she has been bullying my elder sister since she was still at home. She is just a little bit pretty, so don't be fooled by her appearance. We are very disgusted with her despicable behavior of exchanging marriages. If you want to divorce her, then our Xu family will never blame you."
Xu Shikai didn't believe that the young master really liked Xu Qingyan, a concubine's daughter from the countryside, and that he must have been deceived by Xu Qingyan for a while, so he exposed Xu Qingyan's true face and told the young master that their Xu family would never protect her. If the young master wanted, he could divorce her at any time.
After listening to Xu Shikai's words, Pei Jingchuan's face gradually became gloomy. When he saw that the Xu family actually bullied Xu Qingyan like this, he felt extremely distressed.
"Oh! Do you really want me to divorce your second sister?" Pei Jingchuan suddenly sneered.
"Young Master, my second sister was the one who made the mistake first. If you want to divorce her, there is nothing wrong with that." After hearing Pei Jingchuan's words, Xu Shikai thought that Pei Jingchuan was shaken in his heart, so he hurriedly explained.
However, Pei Jingchuan might be going to disappoint him. He said to Xu Shikai in a stern voice, "I heard that you are the youngest scholar in Tianqing Academy? How can you be so ignorant of right and wrong and not know the etiquette of respect and inferiority? A person like you is actually qualified to pass the examination to become a scholar. Is it God's blindness or was there a mistake in the examination? How could you be allowed to become a scholar?"
"Young Master, you...why do you say that?" After hearing what Pei Jingchuan said, Xu Shikai couldn't help but show a trace of panic in his eyes.
It was not until this moment that he finally understood one thing: how much Pei Jingchuan protected Xu Qingyan. Now he began to regret his impulsiveness.
Pei Jingchuan saw the guilty look in Xu Shikai's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Why was Xu Shikai so nervous? Was there really something wrong with his title of scholar?
Pei Jingchuan had worked in the Ministry of Justice for a period of time, examining criminals, and was very sensitive to those who were guilty and told lies.
Pei Jingchuan had just started to doubt when he suddenly heard Xu Qingyan's inner voice speaking again.
After hearing what Pei Jingchuan said, Xu Qingyan complained: [It has to be my husband! This Xu Shikai's title of scholar was indeed stolen! Apart from the intention to harm others, he really has no knowledge. It's just that he got the first place when he accidentally caught the examiner's secret during the exam, threatened the examiner, and exchanged his test paper with that of the first place winner, which made him get the first place! ]
