Thinking

Yuan Feng's proposal was very bold, but Qi Si felt that it was feasible. He remembered that during the day, Pei Ruan'er mentioned that he would leave Changyu and go back to her husband's house tomorrow. Among the members of the Pei family, Pei Ruan'er was the most humane. She is also the one who has the most true feelings for him. Going to see her at this time may gain something.

The two discussed it, and Qi Si decided to visit the house by himself. Yuan Feng acted secretly, and cooperated decisively once he got a clue. It's an excellent time.

The Pei family is in charge of the Shen Yingwei, so there is no doubt about the martial arts of Pei Xin and Pei Nanxian, but Qi Si feels that with the help of Yuan Bing, the risk of this trip is not high. The palace may not be able to stop Yuan Feng.

Qisi briefly told Jiang Xunyan about this, but he didn't mention that Yuan Feng would also go with him, only that he went back to the official post on the way.

When Jiang Xunyan heard that he was going to see Pei Ruan'er, he nodded, but from his expression, he obviously expected that Yuan Feng would not stay out of the matter, and he just told the butler to prepare chariots and horses for Qi Si.

There are not many shadow guards guarding the Pei family's house. After all, the shadow guards are still working for the emperor, not private guards. When Qisi arrived at Pei's mansion, the steward greeted him directly when he saw him. Greeting the post, obviously knowing that the Prince of Jin is now the real Pei family.

It was just after nightfall, and the hustle and bustle of the day had dissipated, Pei's mansion showed its original appearance, just like the owner of the mansion, this deep house compound had a chilly air to it, although the servants were well-trained, it was inevitable that they would be slack and tired after a busy day, For a while, I felt a little more bleak.

Pei Xin was in the hall of the inner courtyard at this time, Qi Si went to see him first, Pei Xun was playing chess with him, the two white-haired old men played chess, but they were not as relaxed and easy as ordinary old people, Pei Xin is not imposing even when he is old Minus, every time Jisi gets close to him, he can feel the alienating pressure on him.

"Grandpa, I heard that my aunt is leaving tomorrow, and I haven't seen much during the day. After all, it's rare to see her, and she treats me very kindly, so I thought about visiting my aunt again." With a bright smile, Qi Si entered the room and bowed slightly to Pei Xin, It is very natural to sit on the first seat under Pei Xin.

When Pei Xin saw him coming in, his gaze was still sharp, but his expression was much softer than when he first met. Pei Xun put down a white coin with a smile and said, "Look at what I said, Ruan Er has always been the most attractive junior." They like it."

In Pei Xin's eyes, Qi Si is just a young man with a simple experience. Although he came to be a proton, his journey went smoothly. Emperor Su and Jiang Xunyan loved him so much, his thoughts would not be complicated, and he would not be able to threaten to get the Pei family. things.

Qisi came here specially, just in response to his judgment, this child has a strong temperament and a simple mind.

Pei Xin immediately sent someone to call Pei Ruan'er, the three of them chatted for a while, and Pei Ruan'er came in.

She obviously came here in a hurry, with a hint of expectation on her beautiful face, she entered the room and said hello to Pei Xin and Pei Xun, then looked at Qi Si with a happy smile on her face.

"This child is really a man of temperament." Pei Ruan'er stepped forward, her eyes were eager and loving, and she sat beside Qi Si and looked at him, as if she couldn't see enough.

Pei Xin took a sip of tea, his gaze was bottomless, and he smiled and said, "Isn't this just like you? That's why I hit it off."

Qi Si's eyes were clear and bright, looking at Pei Ruan'er, he said: "I've been here for so long, but I only met my aunt for less than a day. I didn't walk around much before. It's always a pity. I just feel that we don't see each other too late."

Pei Ruan'er smiled and shook her head: "I'm the one who thinks it's a pity. I saw you earlier, so I could take care of you more. Now that I'm an adult, I don't have the chance to take care of you."

Qi Si felt warm in his heart. He has seen many sincerities and falsehoods in the past many years. He knew that Pei Ruan'er really treated him as his own child. Sincerity is hard to find in this world, and he cherishes it very much.

Pei Xin and Pei Xun watched their aunt and nephew talk endlessly about themselves, so they smiled and said: "You guys are so close to each other, so let's have a good chat." They also ordered the servants to offer some snacks and good tea, and then they left for the period of stay. Si and Pei Ruan'er talked.

Before Pei Xin left, Ruoyou glanced at Pei Ruan'er, Pei Ruan'er's eyes seemed to tremble a little, and said with a smile: "Talk to the child, of course you won't say what you have."

Pei Xin smiled, while Pei Xun seemed to have nothing happened, smiling calmly, and the two left to look at the painting given by Emperor Su today.

Qi Si naturally felt Pei Xin's warning and reminder, and Pei Ruan'er's uneasiness, but he remained calm, with a smile on his eyes. The chivalrous demeanor is very majestic, and the two of them chatted together.

Knowing that Yuan Feng was in Pei's mansion at this time, perhaps on the roof of this hall, Qi Si felt at ease in his heart, took a sip of the snack, and casually said: "If my mother is still here, seeing everyone treat me like this Well, I must be happy."

Pei Ruan'er's expression paused, she seemed a little sad, but she still smiled and said, "You have suffered too."

With a slightly probing look on his face, Qi Si asked, "Auntie, you and my mother must have been very good in the past, do you remember what she looked like?"

Pei Ruan'er breathed tremblingly, and she looked at Qi Si with gentle eyes: "Nature is very beautiful, and her temperament is straightforward."

Qi thought of his own mother, and thought of Yu Ke. Yu Ke had never even seen her mother for a day. Pei Fengjin loved them both as a child, perhaps to make up for the care Pei Rujin failed to give Yu Ke.

But Pei Ruan'er obviously knew that this was all she could say, so she shook her head, suppressing the thin tears in her eyes, and picked up some happy things to tell Qi Si.

Qi Si could see that Pei Ruan'er and Pei Xin were not in the same heart. She had some resistance to the cold-bloodedness of Pei Xin and Pei Nanxian. She came and went in a hurry and did not stay in Pei's house for a long time, which was also the reason.

Pei Xin and Pei Xun never came back. Seeing Pei Ruan'er's emotional ups and downs were too strong, and his mind was sad, he was afraid that she would be depressed, so he proposed to send her back to have an early rest.

Pei Ruan'er obviously had a difficult day. Seeing that Qi Si was so well-behaved, he let him accompany him to the yard. The night was like water, and the attendants didn't dare to disturb his aunt and nephew, so Qi Si watched Pei Ruan'er go back , Pei Ruan'er looked back at him very reluctantly, Qi Si smiled and bowed deeply: "Auntie, take care, if there is a chance, I will definitely visit you."

Pei Ruan'er nodded, the tears in her eyes brightened under the moonlight, and she finally turned her head and went in.

The servants in the mansion did not follow them all the way, so Qi Si walked back unhurriedly by himself. He felt the surroundings carefully in secret. There were only a few secret sentries on patrol in the mansion, and everyone in the Pei family had the time to be close to them. , does not require much protection.

The corridor is winding, the moonlight melts like jade, on a quiet early winter night, the grass and trees in the quiet courtyard are bleak, and the thin snow is falling. I want to walk along the corridor, and my heart is very peaceful.

With a melodious warbling cry, Qi Si looked up and saw Yuan Feng squatting on one knee on the eaves diagonally above, his figure was slender and fit against the backdrop of night clothes, his legs were strong and straight, Qi Si could almost imagine him at this moment With a smile in his eyes.

Qi Si subconsciously looked around, knowing that Yuan Feng must have the confidence not to be discovered to appear so boldly, but he couldn't help feeling tense.

Yuan Feng made a gesture to him, signaling Qi Si to follow his direction, then turned around and jumped lightly, without making a single movement, only the secret signals sent out from time to time to guide Qi Si.

Qi Si quietly quickened his pace, the mansion was busy all day, most of the servants went back to rest at this time, and Yuan Feng deliberately guided, Qi Si didn't meet anyone along the way.

Arriving at a place in the back garden, Qi Si heard a faint human voice, and immediately held his breath, stopped his footsteps completely, and quietly approached the source of the sound. His martial arts has improved a lot in the past two years, and he has always walked lightly. The members of the Pei family found that it was not difficult for him at all.

Across a whitewashed wall and pierced windows in the yard, Qi Si gradually heard the conversation, it was Pei Xin, Pei Xun and Pei Nanxian.

Pei Nanxian had some business to do, so counting the time, he probably came to see Pei Xun right after he returned home, and started talking here.

"That child may not be that simple. It's better to wait and see everything." Pei Nanxian said, his voice was just like others, and his words were cold and intimidating.

Pei Xin sighed softly: "In the past, I might have thought the same way, but now that I think about it, he has kept half of the Pei family's blood. Since he doesn't know about the previous generation, let it be. "

Pei Xun's temper was smoother, and he turned around and said: "Since this child wants to get close to him, and His Majesty loves him now, there is no harm in getting closer. Besides, we have shown little concern for him in the past few years. With such an opportunity, If you push him away, you may not be able to win him back in the future."

Pei Xin nodded: "You know, for a person with such a temper, it would be difficult for him to turn back if his heart is chilled. Back then... Feng Jin and Ru Jin, if we each took a step back, we might not have reached that point."

None of the three spoke, and there was a moment of silence, and Qi Si was shocked. This was the first time he heard his mother's name from the Pei family.

Pei Fengjin and Pei Rujin once severed ties with the Pei family, and now the Pei family treats them as if they don't exist, but after all, they are still Pei Xin's daughters, and the most inseparable thing in the world is blood, which can't be exhausted or repaid.

Pei Nanxian paused for a while, then spoke with a tone of disbelief and a chill: "I thought you would never change your mind on this matter."

Pei Xin looked at Pei Nanxian, who had inherited his ruthless methods and was even more mature than others, and said in silence for a moment: "Maybe it's because he's getting old, after all, he's of flesh and blood. It's hard to say that he regrets it, but he can't help but regret it."

"But it was you who personally ordered them to die back then. This will not and cannot be changed." Pei Nanxian's voice was as calm as a cold pool.

As soon as these words fell, Qi Si's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and the cold wind of the winter night pierced into his chest with a hundred times the coldness.
