History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 56

Tonight everyone came for the Lantern Market, and they were all enjoying the lanterns and eating wine in the private room next to the street, but it was very deserted near the rockery.

Lin Lang didn't see anyone when she walked over, but when she was looking left and right, she suddenly heard Pei Mingxi's voice coming from the cave under the pavilion. The words in front were mixed with the noisy laughter and she couldn't hear clearly, but when she got closer, she heard the following sentence, "...the He family We can't afford to cause trouble, why should my sister take risks and cause trouble again?"

Then came Pei Minglan's sneer, "Why do you dare to control me? Pei Mingxi, remember, don't tell others a word about what you heard tonight, otherwise..." Pei Mingxi let out a low cry of pain , she threatened: "I tell you that you will never be able to hold a pen again!"

Lin Lang was taken aback by this threat, and couldn't figure out what happened between the sisters, but the words involved the He family... She signaled Jinxiu to keep quiet, and walked over lightly.

Pei Mingxi gritted his teeth and said, "Even if my hand is chopped off, I will tell Linlang!"

"You!" Pei Minglan obviously didn't expect her to be so stubborn, she got angry for a moment, and said angrily, "It's nothing to do with it, why are you so stubborn! Hmph, why are you meddling in their sister's hatred?"

"Yeah, their sisters' enmity, what does my sister have to do with it? Besides, why is it none of my business? He Xuanji is Lin Lang's sister, and I cherish the people Lin Lang cherishes as much. If something happens to He Xuanji, how can Lin Lang feel better?" ..." Pei Mingxi was obviously a little anxious, and there was a rustling sound in the cave, followed by Pei Minglan's yelling, "You calm down! Come, come home with me!"

"No..." Pei Mingxi was still struggling, and suddenly he let out a cry of pain, and then Pei Minglan lowered his voice and said, "If you dare to move around again, I will cut the knife down and use up your hand!"

Linlang was shocked when she heard the words outside, and when she hurried to help, she only heard a ding from inside, which seemed to be metal hitting a stone, Pei Mingxi lowered her voice and said, "You are crazy!"

There were dim lights around the rockery, but the inside of the cave was very dark. Lin Lang rushed in with a lamp, and saw her sisters standing against the wall, Pei Mingxi was protecting her right arm with her left hand, looking at Pei Minglan angrily.There was a dagger on the ground gleaming coldly, Lin Lang got close, fearing that Pei Minglan would make trouble again, he hurriedly kicked it out.

Seeing the figure rushing in, Pei Minglan panicked.She forcibly pulled Pei Mingxi over, but she just wanted to find a quiet place nearby to settle the matter quickly. Who knew that Lin Lang would come with her and hear the dispute between their sisters?I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Pei Mingxi probably didn't expect Lin Lang to appear, and he moved over with a flash of joy on his face.Pei Minglan next to him threatened with his eyes, and Pei Mingxi persuaded in a low voice: "Sister, why bother to wade into this muddy water again."

Under such circumstances, Pei Minglan expected that she would be unable to stop her, so she snorted and turned her head away. Pei Mingxi felt apologetic, but still said: "I'm afraid something will happen to your big sister tonight, so be careful."

"what happened?"

Pei Mingxi glanced at Pei Minglan, bit her lips and said, "Just now I accidentally overheard my sister talking to your second daughter, saying that tonight I'm... looking for a chance to taint your elder sister's innocence." She looked at Lin Lang nervously. , Linlang's face changed drastically, she turned to Pei Minglan and said, "Really?" In fact, she already believed it in her heart, she knew the friendship between He Jinyu and Pei Minglan, and knew each other's most secret things, so it's not unexpected to conspire in such a thing.

Pei Minglan glanced at Pei Mingxi angrily, snorted coldly and remained silent.Pei Mingxi said anxiously: "Hurry up and remind you, big sister, don't take it seriously." He bit his lips and said, "My sister just promised you two girls, but she hasn't... don't blame her." She was a little embarrassed, and Lin Lang said quickly : "Don't worry, I understand."

I understand it in my heart, but I still can't accept it emotionally.

Even though He Jinyu hated her, why did he attack He Xuanji again?He Xuanji never hindered her at all.Linlang turned to look at Pei Minglan, "Miss Pei, since this matter has been revealed, I will naturally let my elder brother be on guard. Let's... just pretend that there is no such thing, and you can also persuade my second sister to give birth to a healthy body." , stop tossing about."

"Heh, He Linlang, Jinyu is your sister, so you don't feel guilty about treating her like that?" Pei Minglan sneered, and said with a sneer, "You are willing to work hard for Pei Mingxi, but you don't want to be nice to your own sister." , don't you find it ridiculous?"

Lin Lang didn't answer, but just repeated: "Miss Pei, let's pretend that what happened tonight never happened." After all, she was afraid of He Xuanji's accident, so she held Pei Mingxi's hand and left the cave.

After this touch, she found that there was wet blood on Pei Mingxi's wrist. She looked up and saw a wound on her forearm through the light. The blood beads were still coming out, staining her clothes red. sleeve.

The memories of the previous life floated up like fragments, and Lin Lang felt a pain in his heart for a moment, so he quickened his pace.

That night, the war in the capital city was full of war, and the relationship between her and Zhu Chengyu had already broken down. She wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the prison of the Zhu family's guards, but encountered rebels on the street.At that time, she and Pei Mingxi hadn't seen each other for many years, but Pei Mingxi recognized her at a glance in the panicked crowd, and took her to He's residence.

The sharp blades of the rebels slashed at Pei Mingxi, and a deep gash was cut on Pei Mingxi's back. The blood stained her clothes, but she just smiled reluctantly and said, "It's good that you are fine." Although she was eventually dispersed by the flow of people, She was still trapped in Zhu's house, but Pei Mingxi's smile was engraved in her mind like a brand.

In the past and present lives, there were actually very few people who were willing to protect her like that.
