Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 50 Planning Redemption
The night is cold as water.

Pei Jinghan sat on the chair with a sullen face, looking expressionlessly at the maid kneeling in front of him, listening to her talk about her absurd dream.

"Since it was a dream that Zhengyue had when she was in a coma, why didn't you tell me then?" Pei Jinghan wanted to distinguish the truth from the fake.If she made up such a set of nonsense just for the sake of rejecting him, then he really underestimated this servant girl, and even had the guts to lie to him and curse him and his cousin's heir.

Ningxiang looked at the man's boots, her voice was calm, "At that time, like Shizi, I thought it was just a strange dream, I didn't pay attention to it, and even left it behind, until my feet were scalded by lotus flowers, suddenly I remembered that it happened in a dream, because the dream was only a few intermittent fragments, and I didn't immediately remember it when I met the lotus."

Pei Jinghan snorted sarcastically, "You mean, as long as you're with me, you'll be persecuted?"

Ningxiang lowered her head nervously, and said bitterly after a moment of silence: "My lord, I was not very courageous in the first place. I really didn't dare to be my lord because of the lotus flower that harmed me. Something happened, more, more, I don’t want to be betrayed by you, and end up committing suicide by throwing myself into the lake. My son, the cousin girl is so good, can’t you treat her wholeheartedly from now on?”

She didn't really believe that Pei Jinghan would let her and Suyue go because of her half-truth and half-false words, so the hope of redemption still rests on Shen Youyou, so she can't let Pei Jinghan know Shen Youyou's nature, and can't make Pei Jinghan hate him Shen Youyou, and then I don't know when to marry a new wife.

So she made up an equally miserable ending for Shen Youyou, and changed the person who sold her and Suyue to Pei Jinghan, saying that he regretted losing his child, and decided to guard Shen Youyou wholeheartedly. An apology gift for Shen Youyou.In addition, in case Pei Jinghan believed her dream and asked her about other things, such as the government and military affairs, Ningxiang only said that the dream was only a fragment of her own murder, which was an ominous dream, and when she died, the dream would end .

But Pei Jinghan didn't believe that he would treat his two beloved maids like this for Shen Youyou, and felt that Ning Xiang was talking nonsense.The matter of Lianhua scalding her with hot water has already happened, of course she can take advantage of it, how will he confirm the following things?

"Even if the thing about Lianhua is true, the rest may not be credible."

Pei Jinghan got up and left his seat, took Ningxiang's hand and pulled her up, and then raised her chin before she dodged.

Ning Xiang frowned, "My son..."

A flash of helplessness flashed in Pei Jinghan's eyes, and he interrupted her softly, "Ningxiang, I understand your concerns. You don't want to follow me because you are afraid of being gossiped by the villagers, but you are living with me for the rest of your life, and you can go back in a month at most. Once, don't pay attention to them. For the rest, don't worry, I will never let you suffer that kind of grievance. "

Thinking of her nonsense, Pei Jinghan suddenly smiled, let go of her chin, and said amusedly: "It's no wonder you are smart enough to make up stories for me, that's all, I'll give you some more time, and I won't force you."

If he hadn't been in a hurry, his silly Ningxiang wouldn't have come up with such a weird idea.

Looking at the pale girl in front of him, Pei Jinghan was willing to bear with her a little more.

But Ningxiang wanted to speak clearly at once, took a step back, and mustered up the courage to look directly at his phoenix eyes, "The thing about the lotus has already happened, and it is true that the prince cannot be convinced, but I still remember one thing. Guess, the prince is willing to believe it?"

Pei Jinghan frowned.

Ning Xiang didn't care whether he wanted to hear it or not, she said to herself: "It's the old lady's birthday this month, Master Hou rested in his wife's yard at night, and Aunt Liu suddenly had a stomachache in the middle of the night, so she sent someone to tell Master Hou, and Master Hou immediately went to Aunt Liu's side , the doctor came over and found out that Aunt Liu was more than a month pregnant."

For the first time, Pei Jinghan's eyes showed seriousness.

Father dotes on Aunt Liu, and spends most of the month resting there, but during festivals or other good times, he always stays with mother.Grandmother celebrates her birthday, father is no exception, Aunt Liu is trying to win favor, this is something that everyone can guess, but Aunt Liu is pregnant...

"Did the maid next to her slip the tongue and you overheard it?" Pei Jinghan's face softened, implying that Ningxiang was playing tricks.

Ning Xiang didn't think it was a pestle, and said in a low voice: "Have you forgotten, my son? All I dreamed was that I suffered. In this dream, Aunt Liu's maid was yelling outside the madam's yard. Anxious, you ran out without lighting the lamp, and accidentally kicked over the red coral tree that you gave your wife on her birthday, and broke several pieces. When you found out, you were furious, and while Master Hou was out, someone killed Aunt Liu's child, Liu But my aunt blamed it on my wife, Master Hou believed it, he..."

"How is he?" Pei Jinghan's forehead was bulging with veins, obviously he had already believed it to [-]%.

Thinking of Madam's unsatisfactory life, Ning Xiang lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, you beat Madam, the son impulsively fought with Master Marquis, and the old lady came forward to let you go. Afterwards, you can drink away your sorrows, think about it, think about it... ...I accidentally fell on the shattered wine jug while dodging and cut my wrist..."

This incident did happen in her previous life, and because of this, Pei Jinghan and Hou Ye Pei Zheng turned against each other and ignored each other when they met. Only in the end that she cut her wrist was Ningxiang's change.After all, if he was only bullied once by a drunk Pei Jinghan, it would definitely not be a bad omen in Pei Jinghan's eyes. If she dared to admit that it was a bad omen, Pei Jinghan would definitely be angry.

Because of lying and deceiving, Ning Xiang bowed her head guilty.

This action looked a little wronged.

Pei Jinghan couldn't hold back, and glanced at her wrist.

If he really did that, she would be really pitiful. Her delicate wrist was cut, how painful would it be?
However, compared with the wrist of a little maid, Pei Jinghan cared more about his mother.

"It's nonsense, I don't want to listen to it anymore, go get some water." Pei Jing coldly reprimanded, and went to the inner room.

Ningxiang knew that this person cared most about his mother, and also knew that Pei Jinghan's heart was definitely not as calm as he showed at this time, so she obediently went to the water room to fetch water, filled the tub half full, and then called Pei Jinghan to help him take a bath .

This night, Pei Jinghan didn't play any tricks to take advantage of her, he didn't say a word, and took a rest after taking a bath.

Ning Xiang lay down on the outer couch, expecting that at least the old lady would be safe until her birthday passed, so she slept soundly.

Pei Jinghan stayed up all night.

I don't want to believe that my love will bring disaster to Ningxiang, but I dare not believe it, where is my mother...

Hitting his mother for Aunt Liu's sake, his blind father might not be able to do it.

In the early morning of the next day, when Ningxiang was explaining her ingenious plan to Su Yue, Pei Jinghan called Changshun and gave him some instructions.

When Pei Jinghan came back from the barracks in the evening, Changshun immediately went up to greet him, and nodded towards Pei Jinghan from a distance, with a solemn expression.

Pei Jinghan already knew that Aunt Liu was indeed pregnant, so she kept it secret and didn't report it. If it wasn't for embarrassing her mother on the big day, what was it?
The corners of his lips curled up mockingly, and Pei Jinghan looked at Aunt Liu's yard, his phoenix eyes were like wolves.

He will never let things develop as Ningxiang dreamed.

Before I knew it, it was June [-]th, the happy day of the old lady's birthday.

The Hou Mansion was full of joy, and Pei Jinghan was also very happy. Before leaving in the morning, he frivolously touched Ningxiang's face...

Ningxiang was not in his good mood.

Thinking that although Pei Jinghan didn't make any moves in the past few days, he made fun of her a few times, as if he had returned to the time before the two confronted each other. Didn't you take my words seriously?"

It's almost time to part, Su Yue is very reluctant to part with Ning Xiang, the more reluctant she is, the more she likes to tease her, she likes to see her worried and silly look, and said deliberately: "It's no wonder that you take it seriously, who would believe your broken dream? Shizi is as stupid as you."

Ning Xiang suddenly faltered, but compared with her own little calculations, Ning Xiang was really worried about Mrs. Du at this time, and asked Su Yue anxiously, "What if, what if the night is really the same as what I dreamed?"

With the help of Nanny Li, she and Su Yue served by Madam's side for a period of time before being transferred to Pei Jinghan's side.Du Shi is as quiet as water and considerate of his servants. Ningxiang can't bear the heart of such a good woman being beaten by her husband who dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, especially Du Shi didn't harm Aunt Liu's child.She didn't know about it in her previous life, but in this life...

"How about I remind Madam?" Ning Xiang couldn't help discussing with Su Yue.

Su Yue thought about it seriously, and said: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the eventuality. You really should talk to Madam, then you go quietly, and tell the son as you said to the son, and tell the son your attitude towards the son by the way." Madam, if we want to redeem ourselves in the future, Madam may intercede for us."

She actually let the silly girl hit her head on the wrong foot. Sell it to Mrs. Du first, then it will be easier to redeem herself.

Encouraged by her good sister, Ning Xiang was ready to go.At any rate, she has been a maidservant for a few years, she will not harm anyone, so it is still possible to ask to see his wife logically, and she soon met Du Shi.

Mrs. Du liked this beautiful but dutiful little maid very much, and when she heard that she had something important to report, she ordered the big maid beside her to guard the yard and not allow idlers to approach her.

There were only two people left in the room, Ning Xiang knelt in front of Du Shi, and whispered about her dreams.

Du Shi was silent for a long time.

"You really don't want to stay with Shizi?" She asked unexpectedly.

Ning Xiang nodded, and said sincerely: "This servant only wants to save money to redeem herself, and go home to take care of my younger brother."

Knowing the situation of the Xu family, Mrs. Du sighed softly, "If you were still with me, I would let you go, but now you are serving by Shizi's side. I can't control his temper. If you want to leave the house, you still have to Let's see if he wants to let him go."

She doesn't want to get involved with her son's flirtatious affairs.

Ning Xiang didn't expect Mrs. Du to help, she hurriedly said: "My servant understands that I just want to remind Madam that I came here today. I really don't know whether those dreams are credible or not. I just hope Madam can, can..."

Suddenly I don't know what to say.

"Prepare for a rainy day?" Du said with a smile.

That's what Ning Xiang meant, she blushed and nodded.

Mrs. Du hummed, and said softly: "I appreciate your kindness, I will be on guard, well, go back quickly, everything is busy today."

Ning Xiang got up to say goodbye.

Watching the little maid leave, Mrs. Du continued to sit for a while, and her eyes fell on the pair of red coral trees in the room.

After taking a sip of tea, Mrs. Du called for the little maids and asked them to put away the coral tree for the time being.

She doesn't care what Aunt Liu likes to do, she doesn't have much relationship with her husband, and she doesn't care if he doesn't come for a year, she only cares about her two sons.Move the coral tree away, so that if something happens tonight and the eldest son's things are not damaged, he will not stand up for her mother without authorization.

However, Du Shi underestimated the protection of her eldest son.

That night, at the birthday banquet, when the masters of the Hou Mansion were immersed in the Shen Youyou's zither sound, a scandal suddenly spread in the garden. He was caught by a woman in charge.
