Left with no other choice, Yun Zhi could only send Steward Cheng to Minghua Water Pavilion to invite someone. Steward Cheng immediately understood Yun Zhi's implication when he saw the look in Yun Zhi's eyes.
Tea Flower Pavilion.
"Miss Xia Zhi, don't you agree?" Butler Cheng said at length, but then saw Xia Zhi standing there blankly, her face pale. "Xia Zhi, what's wrong?"
"Butler Cheng... I'm fine."
Xia Zhi glanced at the direction of the screen, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
“Yes, I’ll go back and tell the head of the family that Miss Jiang is not feeling well and will not be going to the front yard.” Butler Cheng had no intention of actually inviting Jiang Yu over. “You don’t need to mention this to Miss Jiang after she wakes up.”
"You don't need to say anything to me?"
Jiang Yu's voice rang out, and Butler Cheng froze.
Jiang Yu moved slowly, "I heard what Butler Cheng said just now. Since Young Master Pei has spoken, I certainly cannot refuse to give him face."
"this......"
Butler Cheng looked at Xia Zhi, who hadn't told him that Miss Biao had woken up!
"I'll trouble Steward Cheng to lead the way." Jiang Yu smiled faintly, and after only a light glance at Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi's legs trembled. "Xia Zhi, you should come along too."
"Yes, yes."
The walk from the Minghua Pavilion to the front courtyard left Steward Cheng drenched in cold sweat. After the others left, Gu Lin slowly emerged from behind the screen. Xia Zhi... he had already thoroughly investigated this maid's background.
forecourt.
"Miss Biao has arrived."
Yun Zhi's chopsticks suddenly fell to the ground, and Butler Cheng bent over even more, not daring to look Yun Zhi in the eye at all.
"I'm late."
Jiang Yu gracefully bent down, and Yun Mo jumped up from his chair. Pei Zhi and Yun Hui also stood up.
They dared not accept Jiang Yu's gift.
Jiang Yu glanced at Yun Zhi first. Yun Zhi thought of Jiang Yu's words that morning, saying that she was not Yun Ming, and his brow twitched: Why is she so calm?
"I suppose this must be Young Master Pei?"
Jiang Yu's gaze slowly shifted to Pei Zhi. "I've long heard of your reputation, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved."
Pei Zhi's heart skipped a beat. This was Gu Qingyan's mother...
The same as the real thing.
"Miss, just call me Azhi." After only a moment of distraction, Pei Zhi immediately grasped the current situation. The Yun family was doomed this time. Judging from this person's expression, he had completely regained his memory.
"sit."
Yunmo pointed to the empty chair, "I heard... I heard you fainted, so I asked Sister Azhi to... to take your pulse."
"Wait a minute!"
Yun Zhi felt like his head was about to explode. Every step was fine, so why did he feel so vulnerable now? Yun Mo's words were hitting the Yun family's fatal weaknesses.
"Let's eat first. It's not right to trouble guests as soon as they arrive."
Before Yun Zhi could finish speaking, Pei Zhi reached out and felt Jiang Yu's pulse. Seeing Jiang Yu's slightly moving fingers, Pei Zhi immediately showed a surprised expression.
"But is there something wrong with my pulse?"
Jiang Yu looked eager, but Pei Zhi turned to look at Yun Zhi, "Miss Biao's pulse is truly beyond my expectations."
"Let's eat first."
This time, no one refuted Yun Zhi's words.
......
"Shut your mouth and you'll live."
On the path, Jiang Yu's words made Xia Zhi behind her lower her head. "This servant knows, this servant will definitely shut up."
"etc......"
Yunmo's voice rang out, and Jiang Yu stopped and turned around to look at Yunmo running towards her.
"Thank you so much for today..."
"No need for thanks. I said I would help you find out the truth of what happened back then." Jiang Yu curled the corners of her lips. Now that Yun Zhi believed that Pei Zhi had figured out her "pulse," she would definitely be controlled by Pei Zhi.
"Just a reminder to Pei Zhi to keep things in check, and not to push Yun Zhi to the brink of desperation." Jiang Yu's voice sounded strangely eerie against the backdrop of the night. "Otherwise, it won't be fun."
Yunmo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back down.
She simply nodded lightly.
Back at the Tea Flower Pavilion, Gu Lin asked with interest, "Did you see that Young Master Pei?"
"I met her; she's a composed young woman."
Jiang Yu recalled Pei Zhi at the dinner table earlier, "I only moved my finger slightly and she guessed my intention. Moreover, she was not too surprised when she saw me, so she must have been mentally prepared in advance."
"The Pei family doesn't engage in military affairs; they only focus on studying medicine and poisons, making them a formidable family."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu smiled silently. "Let's eliminate the Yun family first."
"How is Dongmei doing?"
Gu Lin naturally took the handkerchief Jiang Yu handed him. "It's all taken care of. Now we just have to wait for Pei Zhi to reveal the truth of what happened back then."
"We must make Yun Zhi turn his back on everyone and regret his blindness."
How will Yun Zhi explain things to the Pei family, and who will he choose to sacrifice?
......
That night, Yun Zhi was so nervous that he couldn't fall asleep. The next morning, when he opened the door and saw Pei Zhi, his face was filled with terror.
"A-Zhi, what...what are you doing here?"
"I've been waiting here for my uncle for a long time," Pei Zhi snorted coldly. "What's the deal with that young lady from Minghua Pavilion? Could it really be as the rumors say...?"
"How could that be?" Yun Zhi quickly invited Pei Zhi into the house. "Azhi, you mustn't be talking nonsense."
"Her pulse clearly indicated that she had been pregnant."
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhi's expression turned cold. "What are Young Master Pei's conditions?"
"Give my aunt her name."
Seeing that Yun Zhi remained silent, Pei Zhi sneered, "No matter what, Aunt is a member of the Pei family, and the Pei family will never allow her to be bullied at will."
“If my uncle insists on hiding it, then Pei Zhi will have no choice but to find out the truth of what happened back then in her own way.”
A full incense stick's time passed before Yun Zhi's voice rang out again, "Alright, give me three days."
Pei Zhi nodded and strode away. The sound of things falling to the ground echoed from inside the house, making the servants outside the courtyard afraid to even breathe.
"Someone come here."
Butler Cheng entered the room tremblingly. "What are your orders, Master?"
"Bring Aunt Zhu to see me."
Upon hearing this, Butler Cheng lowered his head even further. "This servant will go right away."
Behind him, Yun Zhi revealed a sinister look in his eyes. Since Pei Zhi demanded an explanation from him, then he would give it to her.
All the Pei family wanted was face.
But the matter of Minghua Water Pavilion... must not be revealed in the slightest!
If this is leaked, the entire Yun family will be destroyed.
