Chapter 33 It Turns Out to Be Him
"Are you the young master of the Duke's Mansion? Which Duke's Mansion are you from?" The Eighth Prince looked at Pei Jingchuan in astonishment, with a slight hint of vigilance in his eyes.
There is more than one Duke's Mansion in Da Xia. He is not sure whether the man in front of him is one of the people who want to harm him, so he cannot reveal his identity easily.
Xu Qingyan looked at the vigilant look of the Eighth Prince and said helplessly: [You helped him, but the Eighth Prince doesn't trust you! After all, there are several Duke's Mansions in the capital, and two of them support other princes. They are very cautious about the Eighth Prince's return to the capital this time. ]
Xu Qingyan sighed as she thought: [The injury on the eighth prince this time was caused by the third prince's mother. She didn't want the eighth prince to come back and pose a threat to her son. After all, the eighth prince's mother is the white moonlight in the heart of the current emperor. If one day, the emperor suddenly thinks it through and decides to treat the only son born to him by this white moonlight well, then her son will have another powerful competitor in the fight for the throne. But speaking of it, the life story of this cannon fodder eighth prince is actually quite pitiful.]
After hearing Xu Qingyan's thoughts, Pei Jingchuan couldn't help but be secretly shocked: How dare the third prince's mother be so cruel to hurt the eighth prince!
However, Pei Jingchuan thought about the Duke's Mansion in the capital, and it seemed that some of them were indeed close to the Third and Sixth Princes. However, it was well known that the Duke's Mansion never participated in the dispute between the princes.
So, Pei Jingchuan looked at the Eighth Prince calmly and generously and said, "I am the young master of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, Pei Jingchuan."
Sure enough, when the Eighth Prince heard his name, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He knew the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. It was the only Duke's Mansion that had no connection with his royal brothers. Moreover, the Duke of Yingguo was an upright person who was dedicated to the people. He was a good Duke and a good general.
In the early years, the stability of the Great Xia border was all due to the contribution of the Duke of Ying. As for Pei Jingchuan, he had also heard of him.
Not only had he followed the Duke of England to the battlefield and made meritorious services, but he was also proficient in both civil and military affairs. However, after he became ill, he went to work in the Ministry of Personnel, becoming the youngest vice minister of the Ministry in Daxia.
"Are you really the young master of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion?" The Eighth Prince suppressed his inner excitement and confirmed again.
"Yes! Yes!" Pei Jingchuan nodded seriously at the eighth prince.
"Thank you very much for rescuing me, young master. I will always remember your life-saving grace and will repay you if I have the chance in the future." The Eighth Prince clasped his fists and thanked Pei Jingchuan.
At this time, the doctor next to him came over and said, "Sir, this young master's injury still needs to be recuperated for a few days after he returns home. He cannot walk around casually. I will prescribe some medicine for you to treat the external injuries, and you can take him away."
"Thank you, doctor." Pei Jingchuan nodded to the doctor, then ordered his men to settle the bill.
"By the way, what should I call you?" After Pei Jingchuan arranged everything, he walked up to the Eighth Prince and asked deliberately.
Since the Eighth Prince is unwilling to admit his identity, he naturally will not expose it.
"Just call me Xiao Ba." The Eighth Prince gradually let down his guard and spoke gently to Pei Jingchuan.
"Okay! Then I will take you back to my house to stay for a few days. When your injury is healed, you can go find your family."
"Thank you, young master! Sorry for bothering you!" The Eighth Prince nodded gratefully to Pei Jingchuan.
——British Mansion——
After Pei Jingyuan returned, he had been feeling uneasy. He didn't know why, but he always felt that what happened this morning made him feel vaguely uncomfortable.
Pei Jingyuan also sent people to secretly keep an eye on Pei Jingchuan's situation. When Pei Jingchuan brought the eighth prince back to the Duke's Mansion, he knew it at the first time.
"What did you say? Big brother actually brought the person back? How could he bring a stranger to the Duke's Mansion just like that?" Pei Jingyuan said in surprise after listening to the servant's report.
Then, Pei Jingyuan stood up and went to find Pei Jingchuan immediately.
Pei Jingchuan had just arranged for the Eighth Prince to rest in a wing room in his courtyard. However, at this time, the room was still being cleaned up, so he, Xu Qingyan and the Eighth Prince were sitting in the hall outside.
Pei Jingyuan rushed directly into the yard and broke in before the servants went to report to Pei Jingchuan.
"Brother, I heard that you brought back that young man of unknown origin?" After Pei Jingyuan came in, he asked loudly to Pei Jingchuan.
Pei Jingchuan sat upright on the chair, glanced at Pei Jingyuan lightly, and said coldly: "Is there any problem with this?"
"Brother, that young man's origin is unknown. What if he is a bad person? Aren't you being too hasty?" Pei Jingyuan didn't care that the Eighth Prince was sitting next to him and directly suspected that he was not a good person.
Xu Qingyan heard Pei Jingyuan's words and muttered, "I really give you face! What qualifications do you have to come here to question me!"
The Eighth Prince had a sullen face at this time, and said nothing. He just glanced at Pei Jingchuan slightly. He also wanted to know whether Pei Jingchuan would listen to his brother and not believe him.
Pei Jingchuan didn't even raise his head, and said coldly: "As the young master of this Duke's Mansion, do I need a bastard like you to tell me what to do?"
"Brother, I..." Pei Jingyuan's face turned very ugly when he heard Pei Jingchuan's words.
Pei Jingyuan never thought that Pei Jingchuan would directly confront him with his status as a bastard. Indeed, as the young master of the Duke's Mansion, Pei Jingchuan had the power to make decisions in the Duke's Mansion, and as a bastard, he had no right to point fingers at him.
It's just that he had a good relationship with Pei Jingchuan in the past, and he had long forgotten that he was a humble bastard in front of him. Now, he felt very humiliated and annoyed when Pei Jingchuan pointed out his identity, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only clench his palms under his sleeves.
"Brother, I get it. I spoke out of turn." Pei Jingyuan apologized to Pei Jingchuan with humiliation.
Afterwards, Pei Jingyuan didn't stay long and went back with a random excuse.
After a while, the servants cleaned up the room where the Eighth Prince was going to live. When the servant heard this, he helped the Eighth Prince to the wing room.
At this moment, a cheerful and clear female voice suddenly came from the door.
"Brother, are you there? Let me tell you, I discovered something incredible today!"
Pei Jingchuan looked up when he heard that, and saw Pei Jinyu trotting in from outside.
When Pei Jinyu ran towards Pei Jingchuan and the others with a smile, Xu Qingyan wondered in her heart: [Huh? What's going on with this Eighth Prince? Why is he staring at Pei Jinyu? ]
When Pei Jinyu heard her sister-in-law's words, she suddenly paused. Only then did she feel the burning gaze falling on her, and she slowly looked to the side.
There stood a handsome young man with wounds on his body. After meeting Pei Jinyu's gaze, the young man quickly lowered his head and dared not look again.
Pei Jinyu couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking: This person is quite good-looking, and why do I feel that he is a little familiar? Do I know him?
Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Jinyu, then at the Eighth Prince, and suddenly realized: [Oh my god! So this is the man who saved Pei Jinyu back then! I didn't expect it to be the Eighth Prince! And he had an encounter with Pei Jinyu in childhood, but Pei Jinyu forgot about it after she grew up. ]
After she entered the book, she gained a special ability. As long as she wanted to, she could find out every secret of the characters in the book at any time.
Pei Jinyu, who was standing aside, was so surprised when he heard this that he couldn't even move.
The person who saved her turned out to be the Eighth Prince!
