Chapter 5: Being praised. Being served by me.
Qin Yurong was very satisfied with his understanding of the current situation, so she let him stand up and speak.
"I heard from the servants that Qingyuan was very lively last night."
"Ahem... I think what you said makes sense. After all, he is my legitimate ruler and the legitimate ruler of the Pei family. Others humiliate him just to humiliate the Pei family."
It’s ridiculous that he didn’t fully understand all this until the Pei family suffered misfortune in his previous life.
However, he didn't know who killed the Pei family until his death. He was really a fool.
Now everything can start over again, and there is still hope for everything. He must get to the bottom of this matter and will never let the little mute suffer with him again.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Yurong's eyes. She knew her son best. Although he had the capital, he was too arrogant and domineering. There was no one like him in three generations before him!
How could he be so obedient at this time?
"You... beat someone up?" Qin Yurong had a feeling that something was fishy.
"Mom, is the trust between us so fragile?" Pei Ji was a little depressed. How could he dare to lay a hand on the little mute...
Qin Yurong stroked her forehead, anger emerging on her gentle face. She forced a smile and said, "Pei Yunzhou, count on your fingers. From childhood to adulthood, when have you ever been good but it wasn't because you felt guilty about doing something bad?"
He is usually arrogant and domineering. When he gets angry, he can even destroy an ant nest. Now he is so easy to talk to, so Qin Yurong will certainly misunderstand!
Pei Ji was naturally in the wrong in this matter, so he explained tactfully, "Now that things have come to this, I have to take responsibility as you said. No one in the Pei family is a coward. I said I would treat him well, and I will do what I say."
"I'm glad you understand." Qin Yurong sighed softly, "Wait a few days until he feels better, take him back to the He family."
"Why would you go to such a filthy place!" Pei Ji's brows were stern, and the disgust and disdain in his eyes were not concealed at all.
Although he was not so close to the little mute in his previous life, he had known him for three or two years after all, and he knew something about his situation in the He family. The He family was a nest of snakes and rats, and the little mute was lucky that he was not eaten to the bone by them!
Qin Yurong gave him a reproachful look, then picked up the phone and chuckled, "I knew you forgot. Half a month ago, on the day of returning home, you were busy going on the spring hunt with others and left him at home without paying any attention. When the He family sent someone to inquire about it, you beat and scolded him and sent him out... Pei Yunzhou, Pei Yunzhou..."
Pei Yunzhou was stunned.
This is truly evil. He truly forgot.
After all, he didn't like the little mute at that time. Besides, the He family could only bow and scrape in front of their Pei family, so he naturally didn't take the He family seriously.
But looking back now, what he should have done was not to ignore the He family, but to take the opportunity to take the little mute to slap the He family in the face.
"...I understand. I will take him back when he recovers." Pei Ji said.
"Your father and brothers came back and told us about this last night. His Majesty has already tried to comfort him and said that he would issue an edict to appease him today. You must not break the rules." Qin Yurong reminded him.
Pei Ji understood.
Although the queen holds the power of the harem, it is reasonable for her to teach a court lady who violates the rules a lesson, but it is certainly not allowed to teach her a lesson inappropriately.
In addition, the eldest sister is also in the harem. As one of the four concubines, she naturally has her own means and brains. It is easy for His Majesty to have complaints about the Queen.
Qin Yurong didn't say anything more to him. She waved her hand for him to leave and had no intention of keeping him for breakfast.
This naturally suited Pei Ji's intention.
His mind and eyes were now filled with the little mute. Before leaving, he called away some of the kitchen staff and the servants that the mansion had prepared for his future wife, and asked them to serve in Qingyuan during this period. How could his little mute be left without someone to take care of his daily life?
When Pei Ji returned to Qingyuan, the little mute was still sleeping. He was sad and hurt yesterday, so he needed to have a good sleep, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it.
"Everyone should be alert and do what they should do. Listen to Chun Jian in everything. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will beat him to death immediately without any punishment!" Pei Ji looked coldly at the men and women kneeling in the yard.
Since they are staying in the mansion, they will naturally be thoroughly investigated, but if the little mute is unhappy, no one will have an easy time.
The servants naturally did not dare to say much and just nodded their heads in agreement.
Pei Ji looked at Chun Jian, "Zheng Jun is still sleeping?"
Harumi nodded, "Yes, the servant was about to watch over the small kitchen while she cooked."
"Go ahead." Pei Ji pointed at the cooks and said, "Follow me. The rest of you can work in the yard."
After sending everyone away, he went into the house.
The little mute was indeed still asleep, curled up on his side with his back against the wall. His comfortable and even breathing was enough to show that he was sleeping soundly.
Pei Ji carefully sat down on the bed, and carefully lifted up his clothes to take a look. The blood rash on his back had actually subsided a lot, and the swelling had smoothed out, but there were still some light red marks.
Although he knew nothing about the culprit who caused the disaster to the Pei family in the previous life, he knew without thinking too much that it was the beneficiaries.
The Queen and the Crown Prince's faction are his primary suspects at the moment, but that doesn't mean the other princes' factions are free of suspicion. The eldest sister has already given birth to the Crown Prince, and I'm afraid that by then even His Majesty will be convinced that they are plotting treason.
The root cause is that the Pei family is too big to attract attention.
But things have come to this, he must find another way and discuss with his father and brothers how to ensure the Pei family's stable life, at least until the new emperor ascends the throne.
“Tsk…”
Pei Ji let out a light sigh and was about to straighten his clothes when he noticed the person under him trembling slightly.
He swallowed and slowly raised his gaze until he met the little mute's frightened and sad eyes, then he suddenly withdrew his hand.
"I just want to see your injury..." Pei Ji said with a smile, "I don't mean to do anything bad."
He Zhiliao lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
Even without looking in the mirror, he knew how hideous the wound on his back was. No one doesn't love a beautiful appearance, but his appearance was damaged now. No wonder the other party showed such an unhappy look.
Of course, he would not suspect Pei Ji of doing anything wrong. He was bound to do all those things after marrying him, but he had never had such thoughts or actions. If he did one day, it would probably rain blood.
Pei Ji thought he believed it, and he picked him up with his large, warm hands. He gently covered his back with his palms and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"Ah." He Zhiliao shook his head slightly, feeling much better.
"When you are well, I will take you back to your parents' home. It was my fault for what happened before. I made you suffer." Pei Ji held him with one hand and pressed the back of his neck with the other hand, letting him lean on his shoulder, which was the dependent look he imagined.
He Zhiliao pursed his lips. He actually didn't want to go back to the He family.
But children who married out had to return to their parents' home, but he never went back on the return day, and the visitors from his parents' home were driven away by Pei Ji. At that time, there was a lot of noise outside for several days, and everyone said that he was unfavored and incompetent.
But why should he be afraid of those rumors? Only the pain that hurt his body made him absolutely terrified.
Although Pei Ji knew that he was in a bad situation in the He family, the He family was his maternal family and the place where he was born and raised, so naturally they had some feelings for him. He thought that the other party was still brooding over what happened to him before.
"I'm sorry, can't you really forgive me?" Pei Ji held him and rocked him gently, as if coaxing a child.
"Ah." He Zhiliao gently tugged at his clothes, shook his head at him, and then nodded.
Pei Ji was instantly amused. "You mean it's okay and you're willing to forgive me? Whose husband is so considerate?"
Being praised.
He Zhiliao leaned on his shoulder and secretly raised the corners of his lips.
"Go wash up. Chun Jian has gone to the small kitchen to watch over it. I've brought the people who are supposed to serve you in the main courtyard. You are my legitimate husband, and you can't be left without someone to serve you." Pei Ji said softly, "Can I get you some water to wash your face?"
He Zhiliao let out a soft "ah" to indicate that it was okay.
Of course, he didn't think that Pei Ji would fetch water for him personally, but he didn't expect that a golden basin with water in it and toothbrush utensils were already placed next to him, obviously intending to serve him personally.
"Ah!" He struggled a little harder. How could he let his husband serve him? !
"Be good, you have been served by me today, and only my Lord has this treatment. From now on you have to behave like a Lord, and no one in this mansion will give you any disrespect." Pei Ji wiped his face with a wet towel, and did not forget to remind him.
Neither can my parents, fathers, or brothers.
He Zhiliao had long been dumbfounded. No matter what he said, he didn't dare to listen and just stood there in a daze... How could he dare to act arrogantly in Pei Mansion!
Pei Ji didn't care about all this. He served him and talked to him about the temperament of his family members.
In his previous life, the little mute lived a cold life in the mansion because of his carelessness. Although his parents did not dislike the little mute, it was not easy for them to be too nice to him because of his attitude.
Perhaps because he was reborn in this life, his mother's attitude was not as cold as in his previous life. But come to think of it, when he was in prison in his previous life, his mother had already changed her opinion of the little mute.
"Did you hear me talking to you?" Pei Ji suddenly pinched his face to force him back to his senses. "How did you know?"
He Zhiliao nodded immediately, although he would not really do that.
Pei Ji just thought he was being obedient and pinched his cheek with satisfaction. To be honest, there wasn't much flesh on his cheek, which made him feel even more distressed.
The little mute was thin, so he must have fallen ill at the He family.
He frowned instantly, "How have you been eating at home recently? What have you eaten?"
"Ah..." He Zhiliao didn't know why he suddenly asked these questions, but he nodded anyway.
And he nodded heavily.
Although she always felt uncomfortable in the Pei Mansion, ever since she got married, the family had been eating in the front hall, with someone serving her and setting the dishes. Needless to say, the food was good, and she ate whatever the Pei family ate.
There was never a shortage of chicken, duck, fish and ginseng.
At first, there were some dishes that were not to his liking, but he kept them silently. Perhaps the kitchen staff noticed this, and later the food became much more to his liking. His mother would also ask the kitchen to give him the tonic soup every day.
In short, it tasted great.
It’s so good that if someone dies outside, the He family may not be discovered in time!
