Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 84 Broken Heart
Shengdu City, the cold moon hanging high, Pei Mansion.

A beautiful figure avoided the hustle and bustle and came to visit late at night, but Pei Shixi was not surprised. Instead, he sat on the main seat, took a sip of tea slowly, and then looked up at the people in the hall——

"Long time no see, Miss Shi Er, I know you will definitely come. After all, there is still a lover you care about on Yunzhou Island. I have already done everything you asked me to do. You came here just to think about it." You know the answer of the Yue family kid, right?"

The person who came was the second miss of the Shi family, Shi Xuanqin.

She bowed to Pei Shixi, her eyes clear, with some uncontrollable tension and excitement: "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for bringing my heart to Yunzhou Island. I don't know, my son... what did he do after reading my letter?" Reaction? Does he like that dress again?"

When Pei Shixi first returned to the imperial city, because he messed up his errands and caused the Chinu prisoners to escape at sea, Longyan was furious. Shi Xuanqin didn't dare to look for him on the cusp of the storm, but fortunately, Emperor Yun valued Pei Shixi after all. , the matter turned upside down, and now that everything has calmed down, Shi Xuanqin dared to sneak to Pei's mansion to find out news about his sweetheart.

In fact, Pei Shixi is also waiting for her to come to his door.

In order to show the greatness of Long's kindness, Emperor Yun granted Pei Shixi a one-month sick leave, allowing him to recuperate his injured leg in the mansion, without going to court, and without worrying about the official affairs of the Zhen Fusi, until his legs and feet fully recovered.

Not only that, he also sent a lot of precious supplements to Pei's mansion. The father-in-law who came to pass the decree all greeted Pei Shixi with a burst of greetings. , It's just some old tricks to win people's hearts, but Emperor Yun has tried it repeatedly.

Pei Shixi accepted the decree with gratitude on the surface, but smiled coldly in his heart, such a hypocritical and disgusting emperor of the Kuang family.

But it just so happened that this month's time just happened to allow him to do some things in private and search for some answers.

Seeing Shi Xuanqin's expectant expression, Pei Shixi couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips, clapped his hands with irony in his eyes, and a young guard wearing a bronze mask immediately came out from behind, holding something in his hand.

"I would like to know that your third younger sister, that is, the third young lady who is now exiled on Yunzhou Island, is said to have come from your father's concubine, so do you know where that concubine came from and how it happened?" Did you know your father?"

Shi Xuanling's mother looked sickly, and she didn't look like a seductive vixen, so how could she be so fascinated by her father?For her, he even did not hesitate to ruin his worldly fame!
At that time, there were a lot of private discussions in the mansion, but her father became very angry, forbidding anyone to gossip, and the mother and daughter had to be kept behind, even when Shi Xuanling's mother died of illness, he even set up a simple house for her. The mourning hall, let her bones be buried in the Shi family's ancestral grave.

Shi Xuanqin hesitated, hesitated to speak, Pei Shixi immediately saw the slight change in her expression, and asked calmly, "Second Miss, what do you want to say?"

"This, this... what's going on? Isn't this the dress I made for Shizi? Why is it rotten?"

These words were like knives, piercing deeply into Shi Xuanqin's heart. Holding the broken dress, she shook her head, her face was as white as paper.

"Okay, you can take this tattered clothes back. I have given you all the explanations I should have given you. It is late at night and the dew is heavy. Second Miss, please go back."

The portrait hidden in her father's study reappeared in Shi Xuanqin's mind, and she clenched her hands involuntarily. She still hasn't figured out many things. This is not only her father's secret, but now it has become a part of her heart. I was suspicious, but I didn't know if I could... tell Pei Shixi?

When the question was asked, Shi Xuanqin was startled, and became more and more surprised: "Master Pei, why do you ask this..."

It turns out that she, like him, has also had days when she was regarded as a "heterogeneous" and isolated and excluded?

Sure enough, Shi Xuanqin came to the door late at night, he was sure she would come to him, and he just happened to get some useful information from her.

After she left, Xiao Mo, who was wearing a bronze mask, stood beside Pei Shixi and said in a low voice, "Uncle Wu, I think this second young lady knows something, but she won't tell."

On the first seat, Pei Shixi took another sip of tea, and finally said calmly: "Second Miss, it's okay to know your sweetheart's response, as long as you answer a few questions truthfully."

If he meets her again next time, he must also give her the nectar candy he made, and tell her that this is the sweetest candy in the world, and only a pure heart can taste the sweetness.

"Is it a gift from you, the prince?"

When those people refused to take her candy, she must have been wronged and sad, right?
But they are not aliens, it's just that this imperial city does not belong to them, and those annoying Dongmu people are not their same race, so don't let these idiots waste such a unique and delicious nectar.

Shi Xuanqin stood in the hall, deliberated for a long time, but couldn't make up any nonsense for the time being, she finally confessed to Pei Shixi: "Shi Xuanling and her mother came out of nowhere, and I don't know where their hometown is, but see Their attire and behavior certainly do not come from any decent family, they probably lived in the countryside and forests before, with no family or family."

After a while, she finally said cautiously: "I, I have already told my lord everything I know. I don't know if my lord can...can tell me the son's reply?"

She put all her heart into her throat, and asked Pei Shixi eagerly: "My son...has he replied to me? Or did you ask Mr. Pei to bring me something?"

Yue Wujiu used to like to make small gadgets for her. He is dexterous and can learn everything quickly. He can carve all kinds of small animals and make beautiful hairpins for her. She can't see him now. Man, with an empty heart, can only guard the box of small gadgets he gave him before, and think about others when he sees things.

Now Shi Xuanqin was caught by the question, and she thought for a long time with difficulty, even if she wanted to sell Shi Xuanling out and show her loyalty in front of Pei Shixi, she still couldn't answer.

"No, it's nothing... that's all I know. Anyway, no matter what my nominal 'third sister' does or offends my lord, it has nothing to do with the Shi family, and my lord's unhappiness is only directed at her. Just go alone."

Shi Xuanqin's words that turned black and white were so straightforward and without shame, if people don't know the truth, I'm afraid they will be deceived by her.

"No, no, I don't believe it, Ah Yue would not be so heartless, how could he treat me like this..."

"It seems that the second miss hates your third sister?"

"Can't I see it?"

"enough!"

Shi Xuanqin's body was limp on the ground, shaking her head with a pale face, still refusing to accept the reality, as if what she held in her arms was not a broken dress, but her heart that had been trampled to pieces.

Pei Shixi raised his eyelids and asked with a half-smile, and Shi Xuanqin snorted unabashedly: "She has been undisciplined since she was a child, and she behaves weirdly. At that time, she tried her best to seduce the prince, and then she followed the prince to Yunzhou Island with shamelessness, why should I have any sisterly affection for her when she behaved like this?"

But obviously, in the eyes of others, she is just a joke.

Because she really didn't know that when Shi Xuanling and her sick mother went to Shi's mansion, the mansion was in shock, but her father was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he closed the door and had a long secret talk with Shi Xuanling's mother. The man was mysterious, and he didn't know what he said.

After a pause, Shi Xuanqin continued, with a hint of malice in her eyes: "When we were young, we all called Shi Xuanling a 'little demon girl'. She always wore a few strings of strange bells on her hands, and she liked to talk to herself. She said some nonsense, made some dirty candy, and handed it to us to please, but who would eat her candy, it is so dirty, just like her, she is not on the stage, she is not popular..."

She only secretly guessed in her heart that perhaps it was Pei Shixi who landed on the island and was bullied by Shi Xuanling, so she asked her about these things, and the Zhen Fusi might have to deal with that girl in the future, so she naturally had to get rid of the relationship quickly. And she really did look down on that "wild species".

Shi Xuanqin trembled all over, and finally left in a daze, with tears of unwillingness in her eyes. All her determination and pride completely collapsed that night, and she was completely defeated.

All kinds of speculations were flying in the house, and she couldn't believe it. At first, she couldn't accept the appearance of Shi Xuanling's mother and daughter for a long time. With such a debt of love, there is such a big "illegitimate daughter".

He looked into the void, and muttered to himself: "As for the Fenglou on Yunzhou Island, and the origin of that girl Shi Xuanling, I have to hurry up and find the answer..."

Pei Shixi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "The Shi family must be weird, but they can't pry this woman's mouth open for a while, so it's better to go back to the clan first and get rid of the obvious things. Check it out."

After all, Shi Xuanqin didn't tell about the painting. Although she could sell Shi Xuanling, she couldn't sell her own father. Even if her father was partial, she couldn't let him get involved and get involved.

Pei Shixi raised the corners of his lips, and looked at Shi Xuanqin's pained look with satisfaction. His heart, which had been stymied by her words before, felt much more relieved.

Pei Shixi suddenly slapped the coffee table and interrupted Shi Xuanqin's words. She trembled with fright, not knowing where she said something wrong, which offended the "Jade Faced Yama" in front of her.

"Second Miss, wake up, can't you see this?"

Shi Xuanqin's complexion changed drastically, and he picked up the tattered clothes on the ground, raised his head suddenly, and said through gritted teeth: "Is it Shi Xuanling, is it because she was jealous and ruined my clothes?"

Shi Xuanqin pursed her lips, and added a few words, with obvious personal emotions, full of contempt and disgust: "The woman is probably a country woman, and my third sister is also a wild woman. , I don't even like to wear shoes, and even after being educated in the mansion for several years, I don't have any rules and etiquette. Although her and I have the same surname Shi, we have never been in the same way."

In this way, Shi Xuanling recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, and her mother became a concubine raised by the Shi family in the early years. As for the true identities of their mother and daughter, except for her father, no one in the Shi family knew.

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xuanqin was obviously a little surprised: "What, what's the problem?"

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the imperial city. After all, many officials have three wives and four concubines. Man, he has read the books of sages and sages, he is dull and old-fashioned, and he is not a "flirty" person, so how could he do such a thing quietly?

Shi Xuanqin stretched his neck involuntarily, his eyes sparkled, but Pei Shixi unceremoniously picked up the bundle, and threw the torn clothes inside at Shi Xuanqin's feet.

When Xiao Mo heard what he said, his mind moved, and he couldn't help thinking that the second lady said that Shi Xuanling was called a "little demon girl" in Shi's mansion when she was a child, and that the nectar she made with her own hands was disgusted by the Shi family.

"You just answer."

What's more... It's not certain who the little bitch is.

Pei Shixi remained calm, but continued to ask quietly: "I can see that you are not getting along with your third sister. I heard that she only returned to the Shi family when she was nine years old. Did she tell you that nine years old?" Where did she live before the age of [-]? Where is her hometown?"

Pei Shixi sneered, and imitating Shi Xuanqin's tone before, he sarcastically said: "When are you going to be passionate? Yue Wugui tore up the clothes you made with your own hands and burned your letter." , I haven’t even glanced at him, he has no affection for you long ago, instead he is full of disgust, he just said to break up with you, and he doesn’t want to have anything to do with you, did you hear me clearly?”

"I, I only met that woman once. After she brought her daughter to the Shifu to recognize her relatives, she died of illness very soon. I don't know anything else, and I don't know where she is from..."

"Why not? I brought your heart to Yunzhou Island, but they don't want it. Aren't you humiliating yourself?"

Even though she was a little afraid of Pei Shixi in her heart, Shi Xuanqin was still eager to know the news about Yue Wugui.

People who don't understand don't need to give eyes anymore, they don't deserve it.

While thinking about it, the boy under the bronze mask couldn't help but blinked, and thought of the knot flower he kept in the pot again.

Under the careful nourishment of his constant blood, the knot flower has already bloomed three pieces of blood mist, and when the seventh piece is revealed, he will be able to complete the job and plant it into a real seven mist knot flower up.

I don't know if he will have the chance to see her again at that time, and personally send the Seven Mists Flower to her hand?
"Farewell to Yunzhou Island, when will the day we meet again?"

　The day of goodbye is a very unexpected situation~
