Listening to Cheng's description, Pei Qianyue frowned.

She didn't look carefully just now, but she could guess some of it by looking at the horrific wounds on her body.

If it weren't for Shao Shao's magical elixir, Pei Tianqing would have narrowly escaped death.

Maybe he won't survive until she comes over.

Pei Qianyue sighed.

Among the several brothers and sisters, she has the best relationship with Shao Shao. She is not so close to her eldest brother Pei Tianqing or her second brother Pei Jingshuo.

We don’t have much contact on weekdays.

But she also knew a little bit that since the eldest brother was selected as a scholar at the age of twelve, he concentrated on studying at home and did not get involved in other things.

But this injury was really inexplicable.

She has been practicing medicine with her master for many years, and she can tell at a glance what the wound was caused by.

The wounds on Pei Tianqing's body were small and deep, almost all of them fatal. At first glance, it looked like he had been injured by a hidden weapon.

But Cheng, who was closest to Pei Tianqing on weekdays, didn't know what was going on.

Pei Qianyue sighed and could only give up.

Pei Shao on the side also frowned and thought after hearing this.

But although she and Pei Tianqing are siblings, they really don't seem to know each other very well.

Anyway, Pei Shao thinks so himself.

Pei Qianyue sighed and reassured Mrs. Cheng, "Don't worry too much, my eldest brother is in danger now. Let's wait until he wakes up."

Just as Mrs. Cheng was about to say something, a little maid ran in from outside the courtyard, her voice urgent and a hint of schadenfreude on her face.

"Miss An Bai!" The little maid ran over and bowed to Mrs. Cheng, and then greeted Pei Qianyue and Pei Shao one by one. There was some excitement in her voice: "Good news, girl! News came from the Marquis Wu'an Mansion that Marquis Wu An was assassinated last night. , I’m still lying in bed with my life and death unknown!”

Not good news.

Most of the servants in the Cheng Mansion were loyal and loyal all the way from the south of the Yangtze River. Before the Cheng family left the palace, they got along very well with the maids in the mansion.

Even the servants remembered the hardships Cheng received in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion after she got married, and they hated Wu'an Marquis Pei Haoting even more.

Now that she heard the news about Pei Haoting's accident, the little maid was even happier than during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as she heard that Pei Haoting was assassinated and her life or death was uncertain, Cheng's hands shook violently, and she almost subconsciously connected this with Pei Tianqing's inexplicable injury last night.

A ridiculous idea even appeared in her mind, but she quickly rejected it.

How is this possible? Tianqing is addicted to poetry and songs, and has never wielded a sword. Her health is not in good shape, and she can't even walk a few steps on weekdays without breathing.

How could he possibly do something like assassination?

What's more, Marquis Wu An is afraid of death. There are countless guards in the dark and in the palace on weekdays.

Tian Qing has been weak since he was a child, how could he possibly do such a thing.

Cheng shook his head and drove this ridiculous idea out of his mind.

"Miss An Bai?" The little maid was stunned when she saw her, thinking that she was still thinking about Pei Haoting. Now her joy was restrained, and she spoke carefully: "Miss, why don't you go and have a look? The Marquis has just sent someone to invite you. "

"The Marquis sent someone to invite you?" Mrs. Cheng was a little confused: "He and I have already reconciled. We have nothing to do with each other whether we live or die in the future. What does it have to do with me if he is assassinated and is about to die?"

Hearing Mrs. Cheng say this, the little maid felt relieved a little.

As long as I'm not still thinking about Marquis Wu'an. "Miss An Bai doesn't know something. It wasn't Marquis Wu An who sent someone to invite her, but the old lady of the Marquis." The little maid explained.

"The old lady of the Hou Mansion came back with Pei Mo, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion. She said that Pei Haoting was not the son of the old Marquis Wu'an, and asked Pei Haoting to return the position of Marquis Wu'an to Pei Mo."

Mrs. Cheng almost fainted in this circle, and even Pei Shao, who was eating melon on the side, was almost shocked and his jaw dropped.

Why did this happen suddenly!

Why did Pei Haoting suddenly no longer belong to the old Marquis Wu'an? Wasn't this part of the original plot?

Even Mrs. Cheng took a while to react. She just heard that the old lady sent someone to invite her. Thinking of the years she had been in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, only the old lady treated her sincerely. Mrs. Cheng Still ready to take a trip.

After all, if she hadn't interfered with the Cheng family, the position of Marquis of Wu'an should have belonged to Pei Mo, and should not have fallen to Pei Haoting, a bastard.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng still felt a little guilty.

After all, after Pei Haoting inherited the position of Lord Marquis, he did not respect the old lady, and the children of the old lady were forced to leave.

"You two accompany me to take a look first." Mrs. Cheng said to Pei Shao and Pei Qianyue, "Go and come back."

Both of them nodded.

It's just that Pei Shao wanted to go to the theater with him, and Pei Qianyue also connected Pei Tianqing's injury with Pei Haoting's assassination.

She felt strange in her heart and wanted to explore the truth.

Even if Mrs. Cheng didn't say anything, she still planned to find a reason to go there and have a look. It would be a good time, so she naturally agreed happily.

Probably because of Pei Haoting's assassination, the guards at the Marquis Mansion were a lot less relaxed. At noon, there was only one guard guarding the gate, and he seemed to be distracted and sleepy.

Even when several people arrived, they didn't notice it. Bai Ying coughed hard, and the guard woke up, trembled and looked at the person.

After seeing clearly that it was Cheng, the guard's expression suddenly changed.

He was about to kneel down towards Mrs. Cheng, with tears streaming down his face: "Madam, you are back! Madam, you don't know that after you left, we servants have lived in dire straits!"

Mr. Cheng is pretty much aware of these.

When she was still in the palace, she was responsible for all the expenses of the palace, and the monthly payments to the servants were paid in a timely manner, and there were occasional rewards.

After she left, the several shabby shops in Wu'an Hou Mansion were handed over to the women in the back house.

But those people only know how to take care of the shop if they only know how to fight for the best. This meeting may have been defeated and ruined.

The expenses of the Wu'an Hou Mansion depended on those Zhuangzi shops. As for Pei Haoting's salary, there was not much money at all in a year.

If you eat based on your salary, a whole family might starve to death.

Without money, the master is unwilling to lower his living standard, so he can only default on the monthly payment to his servant.

For a while, the servants were all miserable, but because the contract of betrayal was still in the palace, they could only break their teeth and swallow it.

No matter how dissatisfied I feel, I dare not say a word on my face.

Seeing Ms. Cheng again, the guard felt as if he was seeing his own mother, with tears streaming down his face.

Cheng didn't feel anything at all.

When she was still here, because she was not favored by Pei Haoting, these servants often made things difficult for her.

Now that I was owed monthly money, I was reminded of her good fortune.

In the final analysis, they are just a bunch of outsiders.
