A traitor

Su Qinglang agreed to the blind date, so he didn't stay any longer, and bid farewell to Qin Jian.

Seeing Su Qinglang turned and walked away, Jia Dexin said: "Master Su, Mr. Su didn't give any confirmation. According to what the officer saw, he seems to be a little bit against it. So... what if after he read it, he used an excuse to say that he didn't like it?" Yes, or if the parents don't agree, isn't our work in vain?"

Qin Jian snorted coldly when he heard the words: "If it doesn't work once, just see it a few more times. If you don't believe the truth, he will not know how to flatter you, and dare to ignore the truth."

As a parent, the most heartbreaking thing is this. The son who was brought up through so much hard work, wanted to rely on him to marry a wife and have children, but in the end he was a broken sleeve. man.

Therefore, Mr. Jia sympathized with Mr. Qin very much.At the same time, he didn't forget to feel lucky for himself, fortunately his son and Su Qinglang were incompatible.

If, like Qin Huan, he was deluded by ghosts and mistook disasters for treasures, would he still live in the future?

However, thinking of Su Qinglang's title of "Wife Killer", Mrs. Jia still felt a little guilty, always thinking that if she did this, she would push her niece into the fire pit.

So he hesitated for a while, and then asked tentatively: "That Prime Minister... Although the niece of the lower official has a deep affection for Master Su, the lower official is still worried. All... this blind date, nothing will happen, right?"

Qin Jian looked at him and squinted his eyes: "The theory of gods and ghosts is illusory. Does Master Jia think that Master Su is an evil star?"

Jia Dexin hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Mr. Su is a dragon and phoenix among the people, he is a talent selected in a million. Naturally, the auspicious star shines brightly, how could it be an evil star."

Qin Jian snorted again: "It was just a coincidence before. Didn't the girl from the Du family have a blind date with him, did Master Jia ever see something happen to her?"

Thinking of Du Shiqi, Jia Dexin put his heart back into his stomach, and hurriedly said: "It's just that, I was stupid for a while, please forgive me."

He paused, then hesitated: "By the way, Mr. Xiang, Shiqi... When are we going to start with Miss Du's matter?"

Qin Jian replied: "Recently, officials in Yizhou have changed, and there are many truth-related matters. Let's talk about it later."

Jia Dexin hurriedly sighed, bowed his hands to salute Qin Jian, and then raised himself up, only to see that Qin Jian had turned and walked into the inner courtyard.

He paused, and followed with a smile.

At night, in the courtyard of Zuo Xiangfu, Pei Ying was sitting in her boudoir. There was no lamp in the room, and it was pitch black everywhere.

She was lying by the window, staring blankly at the scene in front of her, the moonlight projected in through the gap of the carved window, falling on the ground with a harmonious brilliance.

There were footsteps coming from behind, someone gave an order, and the servant next to him understood immediately, and carefully touched the darkness to light up the lamp in the room.

But Pei Ying said calmly, "Uncle, I want to be alone for a while without holding the lamp."

Pei Yan sighed, waved his hand to signal the accompanying boys to go down, and said: "I heard from your aunt that you are in a bad mood today, so there is no need for dinner."

"It's just that I don't have an appetite. I'm worried about Uncle and Aunt Lao."

Even though he said so, he still didn't turn around, still looking at the darkness outside the window, obviously refusing to talk to anyone.

Pei Yan pondered for a moment before asking, "Did you...see Su Qinglang today?"

Pei Ying hummed, and said again: "It's just playing around with him a little bit, will uncle get angry?"

Thinking of the scars on Su Qinglang's face, Pei Yan frowned and said, "Ying'er..."

But Pei Ying smiled lightly, and said with emotion, "Young Master Su is worthy of being the Young Master of the Su Family. After so many years, he is still so likable."

Without waiting for Pei Yan to react, she said first: "Uncle, I understand that I don't have any deep hatred with that young master of the Su family. Even if I had some grievances when I was young, I just felt sorry for him. There is no need to do that kind of thing. But , Seeing his face, I still can't help being angry."

"The proud son of heaven, intelligent and beautiful, you see, since he was born, he has had many things that others have worked so hard to obtain.

To him, it seemed to be a matter of course. Every time he saw him, he would think, isn't God treating people a little too unfairly? "

"Can you understand that even though you have tried your best, you still can't catch up with that person, just because that person is destined to be better than you..."

Pei Ying's tone was calm, and gradually turned into a forbearable hatred: "Although I know it's none of his business, I still can't control it, and I want to go crazy with anger."

Listening to her words, Pei Yan looked at the back of his niece, feeling faint in his heart, replaced by uneasiness and worry.

Although both are children of the Pei family, Pei Ying is obviously different from Lu Xun. One has been with them since childhood, while the other rarely sees each other far away in a foreign country.

However, for Pei Ying, they still couldn't see what was going on in her heart, but Lu Xun's mind was so clear that people could see through it at a glance.

Maybe she was treated as a young lady of Xiangfu since she was a child, and the girls around her were all Yingyingyanyan, beautiful and outstanding, but she was the only one...

Growing up like that from a young age, it is inevitable that there will be a psychological gap, even though he has gone through inhumane pain later.

The current appearance has been greatly changed, but due to long-term self-persecution, his temperament has become more gloomy and weird.

Not to mention Su Qinglang, even the maids in the backyard were treated harshly by her. I heard that two days ago, Xiaocui who was serving her was because of her cousin from her hometown, who gave her a pearl inlaid The silver hairpin she wore on her head was seen by Pei Ying, and she didn't know how to offend her.

Thinking of Li Chengsi's attitude again, Pei Yan sighed even more, and comforted him: "Ying'er, you are going to be a queen in the future, and your mother respects the world. It is important to have a generous heart to treat others. How can you let your temper fool you? You should I know, Your Highness definitely doesn't like this..."

"Queen?"

Pei Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, and snorted again: "If he really likes me, why doesn't he come to see me? What's more, marry me as his queen, he never said that..."

Hearing what she said, Pei Yan said in a low tone: "If he doesn't like you, just let him like you. Your Highness, since his relatives died and he was persecuted, it is inevitable that he will be cold and indifferent. That's why you want Tolerate him, be considerate of him, and act according to his will. Since ancient times, men have liked gentle and virtuous wives. Angry and angry will only make him escape further. Don't be like His Royal Highness's mother and concubine, who fly to the flame like moths. What will happen in the end? Can't get it either."

Li Chengsi's mother and concubine were also well-known in Chang'an City back then as a slim and beautiful woman with a noble background and an extraordinary background. Unfortunately, she has always been proud and arrogant. She was determined to marry the future prince since she was a child. Having no choice but to promise to the second prince as a concubine, it is inevitable that I feel sad.

At first, due to psychological imbalance, he treated the second prince coldly, but the second prince was frustrated by her, and gradually ignored her, and instead favored the other concubines.

But one day husband and wife Bai Rien, although they were dissatisfied with the second prince earlier, they were married after all, and they started to care about it out of resignation or something. Unfortunately, at that time, the second prince's heart was no longer with her. At this point, she was completely cold-hearted.

Even after Li Chengsi was born, the relationship between the two could not be eased. According to Pei Yan's memory, the princess was always cold and expressionless.

However, if she asked about anything in the mansion, she didn't have the consciousness of being a princess, and she didn't have the warmth of a mother.

The first emperor passed away, the second prince lost power and was killed, and the people in the mansion felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.At this time, it is most necessary for the princess to stand up and take care of the matter. Even if she is going to die, everyone should die with dignity.

However, before the new emperor's imperial decree was delivered, the princess left her young son and hanged herself with everyone in the mansion.

Such behavior is a bit unfeeling, but from the beginning to the end, it was just to get angry with the second prince.

The thing of being young left scars in Li Chengsi's heart, so he hated women like his mother and concubine who were hysterical and would rather not bend.

But the current Pei Ying has exactly the same character as Li Chengsi's mother and concubine, even more extreme than his mother and concubine.

This is also the reason why Pei Yan is worried. After all, the Pei family and Li Chengsi are in a cooperative relationship. As Pei Ying said, Li Chengsi has not promised that he will marry the daughter of the Pei family in the future. Si's current attitude is still somewhat evasive.

Even if in the future, under the pressure of the Pei family, they eventually marry Pei Ying, the relationship between the two of them may be the same as that of the second prince and princess earlier.

Whether letting Pei Ying marry Li Chengsi is really beneficial or not harmful to the Pei family, this matter, even Pei Yan still can't make up his mind.

However, since Li Chengsi has been chosen to fill the Pei family in his future harem, and even let the future crown prince have half of the blood of the Pei family, only in this way can the long-term prosperity of the Pei family be guaranteed.

Seeing that she was silent, Pei Yan said again: "Ying'er, sometimes people should bow their heads, not to mention that you may be husband and wife in the future? Your Highness never liked his mother and concubine, even now There is a grudge, you must not follow the path of his mother and concubine, it will only make him more alienated from you."

"Even if you don't like it, so what?"

When Pei Ying heard this, she sneered a few times: "Our Pei family has helped him a lot, who else can he marry if he doesn't marry me? If he doesn't want to, his future queen will only be me."

Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, and heard her say: "Uncle, I can feel that his heart has never been with me, and he will never be with me..."

Pei Ying turned her head, and in the darkness, she gave him a strange smile: "Why did you recruit Su Qinglang, why did you block the previous plan, such an abnormal behavior, does this seem like something he would do? Uncle, a woman's intuition, never It's all terrible."
