The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Before leaving, Pei Qingwan took Yan Shu's hand and asked softly, "I heard from the Marquis that Yue'er threatened to get engaged to you. I don't quite believe what that boy said. I wonder what you think?"

Yan Shu explained very carefully: "The Second Young Master told me about the engagement because he wanted to help me. I didn't expect you to misunderstand me. The Second Young Master is a very good person. In my heart, he has always been a trustworthy friend."

At first, she wanted to use the excuse of being engaged to Liu Hanyue to make Jiang Ci give up, but she didn't expect that even if he had lost his memory, he was not so easy to deceive. Jiang Ci knew what she was worried about, so he threatened her with the Liu family to force her to tell the truth. Now that she has seen Jiang Ci's attitude clearly, she will not let the Liu family be implicated in this matter.

Moreover, she had no romantic feelings for Liu Hanyue. Since Pei Qingwan brought up the matter today, she had the chance to explain it clearly.

After hearing what Yan Shu said, Pei Qingwan already had the answer in her heart. After all, the King of Xiang was sentimental but the goddess was dreamless. In fact, she knew from the beginning that Yan Shu only had Jiang Ci in his heart, and he always remained polite and distant towards Yue'er. Yue'er naturally knew it in his heart, but he just didn't want to let go easily.

Pei Qingwan sighed with regret: "We hit it off right from the start, and I thought we could get even closer, but it's a pity that you and Yue'er are not destined to be together after all."

"Second Young Master, God blesses you. You will definitely find someone who shares your ideals with you in the future."

Matters of the heart cannot be forced. After learning about Yan Shu's feelings, Pei Qingwan no longer mentioned the matter. The two then chatted about some matters of the Su family, and Yan Shu also got to know the Su family a little through Pei Qingwan.

Prime Minister Su and his wife had three sons and one daughter. Pei Qingwan's name in her previous life was Su Wan. She was the prime minister's daughter who was raised by Prime Minister Su and his wife. After she came of age, she married Liu Bin, who had been a hostage in the capital for ten years.

Prime Minister Su is now old and is gradually withdrawing from the court, but his three legitimate sons currently hold high positions in the court. They are considered representatives of the aristocratic families and are also the third force among the civil servants who do not have to be controlled by the Zhao family.

"Empress Zhao originally wanted the Third Prince to marry into the Yongding Marquisate. They were eyeing the Liu family's 50,000 Jibei troops. The Zhao family is the representative of the civil officials, and the military officers in the court are temporarily closer to the Fifth Prince's faction, so the Third Prince's faction wanted to do its best to win over the Liu family. However, Yue'er is not a girl, so it is impossible for her to marry the Third Prince. I heard a while ago that Empress Zhao had a close relationship with the fourth daughter of my eldest brother's family. Now it seems that the Third Prince's faction has set its sights on the Su family. Although the Su family has no military power, the aristocratic family controls the economic lifeline of the Great Sui Dynasty. If it really comes to the point of fighting, money can be used to raise troops, and it is also a force that cannot be underestimated."

Pei Qingwan smiled with an ambiguous meaning. "The story of this fourth young lady is quite interesting. You will understand it after listening to her. This fourth young lady Su was the child of my eldest brother who was seduced by a maidservant when he was drunk in his early years. After my brother sobered up, he gave her a concubine to keep things quiet. But he never touched her again after that. Unexpectedly, the maidservant became pregnant with my brother's child soon after. My eldest sister-in-law was born in a military family with a strong personality. If the concubine gave birth before my eldest sister-in-law, she would have given birth to a child." "Child, isn't this a slap in the face of her wife? My brother knew he was in the wrong, so he sent the concubine to a farm in the countryside. He didn't care about her for more than ten years. He took her back two years ago after she came of age. But this girl is very strange. Not only is she proficient in divination and can predict good and bad fortune, but she can also solve cases through her magical powers. She assisted the Ministry of Justice in solving several major cases and became famous in the capital. But it is said that she had mediocre qualifications before and did not show any difference from ordinary people. It seems that she started to shine after coming to Beijing."

After hearing this, Yan Shu instantly became suspicious.

"Sister, do you suspect that she came here from another time just like us?"

"I can't be sure yet, but there must be something fishy about this person. Fortunately, she is just a concubine. Even if she marries into the Third Prince's mansion, she will at most be a concubine. It is not enough to make the entire Su family turn against the Third Prince. However, we still need to be more careful about this girl."

"I understand. Thank you, Sister Qingwan, for telling me so much about the Su family. This will be of great help to me when I come to Beijing."

Pei Qingwan smiled and said, "Now we are allies of the same blood. Helping you is helping the Liu family. I can't bear to see the Su family side with the Third Prince's faction."

Yan Shu promised Pei Qingwan that once he found out about Fourth Miss Su's affair after arriving in Beijing, he would immediately send a letter to tell her.

When Pei Qingwan left the Yan family, Yan Shu took out two bottles of medicine and gave them to her.

"Although the Second Young Master has recovered, the fetal disease is a chronic disease and the treatment process also requires a slow adjustment of the body. These two bottles of medicine have been adjusted from what he took before, and the dosage has also been reduced. Just take one pill every three days. I have prepared a half-year supply of medicine. When I go to the capital after the New Year, I will write back to let you know my address there, so that my sister and I can keep in touch through letters."

Pei Qingwan reached out to take the medicine bottle, looking at Yan Shu with reluctance: "It's extremely dangerous to go to the capital, take good care of yourself, and if you need my and my help, be sure to write to us."

Yan Shu smiled and nodded. The relationship between her and Pei Qingwan was more like the friendship between fellow townsmen. They both came from another world. It was such a wonderful fate that two lonely souls could meet across time and space.
