Invincible son

Chapter 115 114 [Who am I]

My background?

A look of confusion appeared on Pei Yue's face.

The concubine of Dingguo, the third young master of the Pei family who does not live up to his name.

This is what Pei Yue knows about his identity, and he has never doubted it.Even though Pei Rong and Li Shi's attitude towards him made him a little puzzled, he never thought about it deeply.Because in his understanding, the ancient family is an extremely contradictory existence. On the one hand, it pays attention to loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness, and on the other hand, there are many incomprehensible dirty things.

Such things as spoiling concubines and destroying wives, being mean by the mistress, intrigue, and even fighting to the death for a piece of family property are not uncommon.

Therefore, Pei Rong scolded at every turn, and Li Shi abused him in every possible way, but he didn't fall into entanglement.

It's nothing more than looking for an opportunity to take revenge in the future.

Gu Liang said straight to the point: "You are not Pei Rong's son."

This sentence made Pei Yue enlightened, and instantly thought of many unreasonable things.He was silent, looking dignified, but there was not much sadness and panic, as if this incident was not enough to shock him.

If it was the previous original owner, he would definitely lose his face in panic, because without Dingguo Mansion to shelter from the wind and rain, a half-child with no relatives and no reason would definitely be unable to move a single step in this world, and maybe his life is in danger.However, Pei Yue only frowned for a moment, and then opened his brows, without falling into useless self-pity.

Looking at his calm expression, Gu Liang was very relieved, and said: "I originally planned to tell you these words after you were 20 years old, but these days, it seems that you are not the kind of child who can't stand the storm. You are very smart and know your own strength. What you want, you know better how to do it, so I can no longer hide it from you. Because when you make some choices in the future, if you don’t know your true life experience, you may make wrong judgments.”

After a short silence, Pei Yue seemed to be mentally prepared, and said seriously, "Uncle, please tell me."

Gu Liang held the wine glass and said: "14 years ago, on the eve of Emperor Zhongzong's death, Ding Guogong came to me and asked me to protect a person after his death. That person is a scholar in Kyoto. He has a gentle temperament. There is no competition in the world, and there is only one pregnant wife in the family. The Grand Duke did not tell me the identity of this person, so for a long time later, I thought he was the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke."

Pei Yue scratched his head and asked, "Uncle, is the Duke you're talking about Pei Yuan the ancestor of the Pei family?"

Gu Liang nodded and said: "It's him. Thirty-three years ago, the Duke of Chu's Xian family conspired against him. Xian Chunqiu defected to the Southern Zhou Dynasty with 33 children. My father was implicated in it. If the Duke hadn't personally entered the palace to dissuade him, Zhongzong would definitely The decree ransacked the family and exterminated the family. Although the Gu family was saved, my father was executed by Zhongzong. To tell you the truth, I wanted to rebel more than once in these years, but the Duke dispelled my thoughts. Since he entrusted the scholar to I, I can't live up to his trust."

"Is the scholar a descendant of the Xian family?"

"Probably not. His name is Ling Ping, and he doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Xian family. I checked, and his family background is very clear. He is indeed a child of the Ling family."

"So my original surname is Ling?"

"Yes."

The name Ling Yue sounds pretty good, but what Pei Yue doesn't understand now is why people like Pei Yuan pay special attention to an inconspicuous scholar?

Seeming to see his doubts, Gu Liang scratched his head and said, "The Duke passed away not long ago, so I can't ask what happened. Then Zhongzong also died. After the new emperor succeeded, he changed his Yuan to Yongning. In autumn, There was a big turmoil in Kyoto, I was in the southern border at the time, and it was too late when I got the news.”

"Are they killed?"

"Yes."

"Who moved the hand?"

"Wang Pingzhang."

"Why is this?"

"It's hard to believe. The turmoil targeted a large family in Duzhong. Wang Pingzhang arranged for a night attack. Many innocent people were injured in the chaos. Your parents live on that street."

Pei Yue remained silent.

He never thought it would be such a story.

As a very mature soul, even if the couple is still alive, he still needs a certain amount of time to accept the fact that the other party is a blood parent, let alone the situation that has never been seen before?
However, the world is full of black humor.

His biological parents just suffered a catastrophe, not the protagonist of the story.

Gu Liang continued: "After I heard the news and rushed back to the capital, after many inquiries, I found out that you were rescued by Pei Zhen. I went to him, and he said that the Duke of the State had also told him to take good care of the scholar's family." , I just didn’t expect Wang Pingzhang to be so courageous and dare to commit murder in the capital. He told me that he would raise you under Pei Rong’s name and never let you be wronged.”

He sighed softly, and said: "After all, he is the grandson of Duke Guo and inherited the title of Dingguo, so I could only trust him at that time. I knew you would be treated like that by Pei Rong, even if I tear myself apart from him I will take you back to the palace."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Uncle, this is not important. I will pay back the evil that Pei Rong did to me with my own hands. It's just a matter of time. But I have many questions now that I can't figure out, so please ask Uncle to explain them to me."

"You said."

"I am the son of that scholar, why does Ding Guogong Pei Yuan value a scholar so much?"

"I checked Ling Ping's details, and found nothing unusual. He is not a noble, and he has never met a wealthy family. He likes to read since he was a child, and when he grows up, he marries a wife and has children. Everything is normal. His wife , that is, your mother, who was born in an ordinary merchant family in Kyoto."

"Who was Wang Pingzhang going to kill?"

"That family is very special. The head of the family is a woman who is very good at business management. She controls the trade routes between Daliang and Western Wu and Southern Zhou. She can be called the richest man in the world. More importantly, she has countless capable people under her hands, and even more. Numerous martial arts masters."

Pei Yue suddenly thought of the woman in the mountain, and his eyes gradually became serious.

"Wang Pingzhang is for that woman's wealth?"

Gu Liang shook his head and said coldly: "That woman has another identity, she is the woman Emperor Yongning likes."

Pei Yue stood up abruptly and looked at Gu Liang in disbelief.

Even if Wang Pingzhang is a big brother in the army, how could he have the guts to touch the woman the emperor likes?

One must know that even Pei Yuan would not easily offend the authority of the Tian family after Daliang had established the country for a hundred years. Countless bloody facts told the important officials in the court what the end result would be for the Tian family to bear their grudges.

Gu Liang drank the wine in the glass, and said in a very complicated tone: "Before Zhongzong passed away, the emperor's second son Liu Xuan was established as the crown prince, and then Liu Xuan ascended the throne and changed his Yuan to Yongning. But no one thought that he was originally in good health. Only half a year after Liu Xuan succeeded to the throne, before he even had time to bring the woman into the palace, he became seriously ill and was bedridden."

"In the fall of the first year of Yongning, the capital was in turmoil. Not long after, Liu Xuan passed away. With the support of the two governments, Zhongzong's fourth son, Liu Zheng, succeeded to the throne, and the next year it was changed to Yuan Renxuan."

Liu Zheng? !
Pei Yue's eyes widened, remembering the words he heard not long ago.
