The Pei family.
"Father, why did you suddenly go to the Sun family?"
Pei Ju looked surprised. He was suddenly called over and told to go to the Sun family. Pei Ju was a little taken aback.
"I'm going to the Sun family to take care of some business." Pei Jian looked at Pei Ju firmly. "I'll be back quickly this time, probably in four or five days. Behave yourself these next few days and don't cause me any trouble."
"Father, don't worry, but I don't know why you're going to the Sun family at this time?"
"Go ask the Sun family for help."
Pei Jian pursed his lips. "Master Wuyu calculated that the Pei family still has a way out, so I want to give it a try."
These past few days, Jiang He's words have been constantly echoing in Pei Jian's ears. As Jiang Yu's due date approaches, Pei Jian can't help but feel anxious.
Although he possesses the mother Gu, what if Jiang Yu and her unborn child die, and Dayu doesn't immediately descend into internal strife? And then there's Pei Zhi... Pei Zhi understands the Pei family no less than he does, and now he has pushed her away, placing her in Dayu's camp.
Thinking of this, Pei Jian took out another slightly crumpled piece of paper. The Pei family had exchanged precious medicinal herbs for Ling Ku, and the Qin family had given him this piece of paper.
It clearly states that Pei Zhi now checks Jiang Yu's pulse every day...
Therefore, if the Gu poison takes effect, Pei Zhi will definitely be able to pinpoint the location to the Pei family.
He shouldn't have given up on Pei Zhi so soon.
Standing to the side, Pei Ju felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, and began to wonder why his father had sought help from the Sun family. What path to survival did Master Wuyu speak of?
"In short, all you need to do in the next few days is ensure that Longyou remains safe and sound."
"If you can't do it, Pei Ju, you know the consequences."
Pei Jian gave Pei Ju a deep look, and that one look sent a chill down Pei Ju's spine.
“Father…I will take good care of Longyou.” Pei Ju said blankly, “I definitely will.”
......
After leaving the study, Pei Ju went directly to Jiang He's room.
"Master Wuyu".
"Young Master Pei, why are you here so late?" Jiang He noticed that Pei Ju seemed a bit dazed, and his eyes flickered. "It's too late to tell fortunes."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ju twitched the corner of his mouth. "Master, my father just said he was going to leave Longyou. He said that you had calculated that the Pei family still had a way to survive. I would like to ask you what you calculated."
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
Jiang He's heart trembled slightly. Pei Jian had truly decided to seek help from the Sun family. He had finally waited for this excellent opportunity.
"I know, Master, all you need to tell me is whether my father can really go and return quickly?"
Jiang He was stunned. What did Pei Ju mean by that?
“Patriarch Pei can certainly go and return quickly.” Jiang He looked at Pei Ju with some confusion. “What do you mean by that, Young Master Pei?”
"Oh, it's nothing...it's nothing..."
Pei Ju walked away somewhat dejectedly, completely unaware of Jiang He's deep, unfathomable eyes behind him.
The next day, Pei Jian quietly set off for the Sun family, and only a few people knew the inside story.
Ling Ku woke up after Pei Jian left, so Pei Jian didn't take Ling Ku with him.
Pei Ju already disliked Ling Ku, so he simply had Ling Ku placed in a room and provided him with food and drink every day, without concerning himself with anything else.
That night, Jiang He and Ling Ku finally confronted each other.
Are you alright?
Jiang He couldn't help but grab Ling Ku and look him up and down. "You've lost so much weight. You have no idea how worried I was about you that day, afraid you would really die here."
"I'm fine," Ling Ku said with a smile. "I'm very lucky to have survived this ordeal, which means that our mission will definitely succeed."
Upon hearing this, Jiang He forced a smile, but the smile on his face looked more like a grimace.
“This time it was my recklessness. I shouldn’t have taken the opportunity to try and teach Pei Ju a lesson. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought such a disaster upon myself.” Ling Ku waved his hand. “So, Lord Marquis, you don’t need to blame yourself.”
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Jiang He understood Ling Ku's meaning and changed the subject. "Now that Pei Jian has finally left, I'm sure the Mother Gu is still in the study. He didn't take the Mother Gu with him."
“Great! We can find an opportunity to go to the study to look for the mother Gu.”
“However…” Jiang He was clearly not as optimistic as Ling Ku, “Pei Jian is such a cautious person, he must have set up many traps and hidden weapons where the mother Gu was placed.”
“Only I can use my senses to find the Mother Gu, so the one who has to find the Mother Gu must be me.” Jiang He stared intently at Ling Ku. “What you need to do is make sure I can stay in the study for a quarter of an hour.”
"Fifteen minutes? No problem."
Ling Ku grinned, but then jumped up in pain the next second. "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, leave this to me. As long as I go and challenge Pei Ju to a duel, that Pei Ju will be like a firecracker that will ignite at the slightest touch."
Hearing Ling Ku's description of Pei Ju, Jiang He's serious expression finally crumbled.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That's right. I'm safe and sound now, and the Qin family is here to help us. We'll definitely be able to get our hands on the mother Gu this time."
"Speaking of which, why would the Qin family send people to help us?" This was something Jiang He had never been able to figure out. "Do you know anything about the inside story?"
I'm not entirely sure.
Mentioning this, Ling Ku's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.
He only vaguely remembered hearing them say that saving him meant it was the young lady's idea, and that the Qin family had more than one young lady...
"Never mind, everything will be clear when we get back."
Jiang He patted Ling Ku on the shoulder, "Remember, take good care of yourself."
"The same goes for the Marquis."
......
Two days later, Ling Ku distracted Pei Ju, and the Qin family also came to cause trouble, drawing most people's attention away from them.
Jiang He headed straight for the study.
“Master Wuyu.” The guards outside the study stopped Jiang He.
Jiang He remained expressionless. "The patriarch asked me to come to the study to perform a divination."
Perhaps because what Jiang He said sounded so convincing, no one doubted the truthfulness of his words, and Jiang He thus entered the study with impunity.
As Jiang He entered the study, his senses became increasingly acute.
Jiang He paced around the study for a long time before finally stopping at a spot where he could sense the strongest sensations.
Jiang He did not immediately examine it, but instead chose to observe it carefully, trying to figure out what mechanism or switch it was.
A few breaths later, Jiang He's gaze settled on a spot. Unlike other places, this place was spotless and extremely clean.
Jiang He held his breath and reached out his hand toward that spot.
