Seeing that he didn't catch up with her, Xue Xinran couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
"Brother Pei, are you okay? Look at your face."
Xue Xinran wanted to check the wound on his face with concern, but Pei Yu dodged her.
He said seriously, "Xinran, we are cousins. This status is more beneficial to you. I will find you a decent person to marry and let you be my legal wife. You can live a good life. Don't think about other things, or you will hurt yourself."
Pei Yu said, turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "I will ask my mother to choose a few families for you, and you can choose from them when the time comes."
Xue Xinran trembled slightly when she heard that, and looked at his leaving back with a sad and resentful face.
He was so heartless. If that was the case, why had he been so gentle to her in the first place, giving her hope, only to crush that hope with his own hands.
Hatred arose in Xue Xinran's heart, and the sorrow and sadness in her eyes gradually turned into hatred.
The news of Pei Yu being raped by Yin Lengdie was soon passed on to Pei Miaoqing through Xue Xinran. When Pei Miaoqing found out, Pei's mother also found out soon after.
Pei's mother, who was already dissatisfied with Yin Lengdie, felt even more disgusted with her.
He immediately called Yin Lengdie and asked her to kneel in the ancestral hall to repent.
After Pei Yu came back at night, his mother called him into the room and asked him about the matter between him and Xue Xinran. Pei Yu only said that Xue Xinran was kind to him, so he gave her the identity of a cousin.
Pei's mother asked what the favor was, but Pei Yu refused to say until Pei's mother said she would call Xue Xinran to ask, and then she forced him to speak.
"Mother, please handle this matter yourself. Please don't worry about it, okay?"
"Someone, go and ask Miss Xue to come over."
"All right, mother," said 놖.
Pei Yu said helplessly, "Xinran is an orphan. You saved her before, and then she followed us. Later, because you were chased, she was also implicated, and we rolled off the cliff together. It was she who saved you. At that time, because of the injury and the cold weather, you had a high fever and chills all over. She used her body to cover you, so..."
Speaking of this, Pei Yu felt guilty and his face looked unhappy.
When Mother Pei heard this, she was delighted, with joy in her eyes.
She hurriedly said, "You, how can you recognize a girl as your cousin? You should marry her. Since she has been so kind to you, she should enter as a concubine."
Pei Yu quickly refused, "Mother, no, I don't want to take a concubine."
Mother Pei's face turned cold, she snorted and said, "Is it you who doesn't want to take a concubine, or is it Xiaodie who doesn't allow you to take a concubine?"
Pei Yu said helplessly: "Mother, I am very busy on weekdays and don't have that much time to care about so many women. Xiaodie is enough in the backyard. Don't worry about taking concubines."
Mother Pei sighed!
"If it were any other time, I could ignore it, but Miss Xue, for you, she even gave up her innocence. How could you treat her like this? My son, Miss Xue must have loved you, that's why she was willing to sacrifice her innocence. Do you still have a conscience if you let her down like this?"
Pei Yu himself understood that it was unfair for him to treat Xue Xinran like this, but there was nothing he could do because he had promised to only marry Yin Lengdie.
If I break my promise, she will probably not let me go.
Thinking of the scene when Yin Lengdie was jealous during the day, a smile flashed across Pei Yu's eyes.
"Mother, I will compensate Xinran well. You can choose a good son-in-law for her and give her a dowry. This way, she will have a good life in the future. This is also a way of repaying you."
Mother Pei got angry and said coldly: "Do you think this is what Miss Xue wants? She can give up her innocence for you, which means she likes you. If she likes you, will she be willing to marry someone else? Think about it carefully! Looking at others, you can't do this kind of thing, so you have to do it yourself!"
After Pei's mother finished speaking, she left angrily with a cold face.
Pei Yu felt helpless when he saw this.
When he returned to the yard, he found that Yin Lengdie had closed the door and would not let him in.
He was not angry and went to the study.
The next day, Pei Yu went to the palace to report the rumor to the emperor.
In the imperial study, after Nangong Yan heard Pei Yu's words, his face turned terribly cold.
"Nangong Mo, right? Someone, summon Nangong Mo into the palace."
Pei Yu looked at the emperor's expression and felt that Nangong Mo was in trouble.
After completing his task, he hurriedly took his leave.
After leaving the imperial study, he just happened to see Qingli coming towards him.
Pei Yu had never seen Qingli, but he had seen Su Qingyue and had heard that Qingli looked exactly like Su Qingyue, so he immediately recognized that this was the queen.
"Your humble servant Pei Yu pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
Pei Yu knew in his heart that the emperor loved the queen deeply, so he didn't dare to be disrespectful to her in the slightest.
Qingli heard this, glanced at him, and said calmly: "No need to be polite."
Pei Yu respectfully stepped aside to make way for Qingli.
Qingli glanced at him again before entering the imperial study.
Qingli's arrival made Nangong Yan's face return to normal.
"Ali, what's wrong with you? Are you bored staying in the bedroom? How about I accompany you for a walk in the Imperial Garden?"
Nangong Yan's face was full of concern, fearing that Qingli was not living comfortably.
The eunuchs and palace maids were shocked at first, but now they were used to his daily interactions with Qingli.
Others were concubines who catered to the emperor, but in Nangong Yan's case, he was the one who catered to Qingli, making it seem as if Qingli was the emperor and he was the concubine who was trying to please the emperor.
Qingli shook her head and said, "No, it's boring. I have to leave the palace and come back at night."
Hearing this, Nangong Yan suddenly looked pitiful.
"Ari, are you going to abandon 놖?"
Qingli looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "Nangong Yan, don't forget that you are an emperor. Why do you always look so wronged and pitiful? Where is your dignity?"
In the past two days, Nangong Yan was like a clingy dog, following her wherever she went, as if he couldn't bear to be apart from her for even a moment.
Nangong Yan hugged her and acted coquettishly, "I am not the emperor, I am your lord."
Nangong Yanru really didn't want to be the emperor anymore. He just wanted to go outside with Qingli to see more scenery and the world. He also sincerely understood and understood Qingli's idea of not wanting to stay in the palace.
"A Li, who do you think is more suitable to sit on the throne, Meng Meng or Yang Yang? Train them up as soon as possible and pass the throne to them. Then, you two can travel the world together and help those who are in trouble. You can be knights."
As long as he was with Qingli, Nangong Yan felt that everything he did was meaningful and fun.
Without her, everything would become boring.
Hearing this, Qingli smiled helplessly and said, "They are still so young. As for who is suitable to be the emperor, you can decide for yourself! I can't tell."
"But if Mengmeng were to sit on the throne, I'm afraid the ministers in the court would not agree! After all, she is a girl, and they would be surprised that you would have such an idea!"
After all, it was ancient times, and Qingli really didn't expect Nangong Yan to be so open-minded that he actually wanted to pass the throne to his daughter.
Nangong Yan pulled her to sit down and said to her, "Mengmeng is your only daughter. You hope she can live a happy life. However, happiness and freedom in this world require power and money. If you can't control your own life, how can you be happy?
The only one who can truly control his own life is the master of the sky. Only when you have absolute say can you control everything. I want our daughter to have this right so that she can be truly unrestrained. ”
Qingli looked at him and just liked him more.
She had never thought before that Nangong Yanyan loved the two children so much, especially his love for his daughter, not because he wanted to pamper her and make her a princess, but because he wanted to give her absolute autonomy so that she could be truly independent.
Qingli was touched and happy for her child to have such a father.
"You're a good father."
She praised it sincerely.
