Chapter 4 Falling Infamy-
On the second day after Pei Yanru left Dali Temple, the Eighth Prince led troops to visit Dali Temple.

But except for the Eighth Prince himself, everyone else's heads fell to the ground, and the Dali Temple sentenced them to commit crimes above and below.

The eighth prince returned home without a feather, and Dali Temple issued a notice, and the trial will start in three days.

On the bustling street, the horse-drawn carriage passed through the street, but stopped in the busy city.

This time there is no need to plead guilty, Pei Yanru opened the curtains, and looked up at the brothel and painting pavilions, the beaded curtains of embroidered households, the fragrance of books from the study room and calligraphy wafting in the air, it was so prosperous, the golden emeralds were dazzling, and the fragrance of Luo Qi was wafting.

You can hear the sound of laughter among the flowers in Liumo, there are many teahouses and wine shops, and the sound of wind music can be heard occasionally.

This is the country of Mexico where she has lived for more than 20 years.

"Miss, you see that Mr. Lang is really miserable, he looks so handsome, maybe he is the young master who was abducted."

Pei Yanru was being dragged by memories when a girl's regretful voice came from his ear.

Pei Yanru regained his composure, and turned to look at the boy Ming Xi was talking about.

In the middle of the crowd, the young man half-kneeled on the ground, and the fat man beside him spat, raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it hard towards the young man's back, completely disregarding the young man's life or death.

Pei Yanru's eyes were silent, the country of Mo puts a lot of emphasis on literature and lacks military strength, and is defeated every year by the Daxing country that occupies the north, and has to pay a large amount of tribute to Daxing country every year, not to mention that the nobles of Daxing country can brutally beat the people in the territory of the country of Mo.

If there is a death, it is just a fluffy "Damn the untouchables".

As for a young man whose life and death are not in his own hands, there are not many people in the country of Mo.

"Big girl?" Ming Xi couldn't bear to watch anymore, she looked away, seeing Pei Yanru staring in a daze, she dared to speak out.

The eldest girl is easy to talk today, she should talk more.

Pei Yanru was about to look away when she suddenly met the stubborn eyes of the young man.

This face.!

Pei Yanru's expression changed slightly, and his heart suddenly became a little excited. He put his hands on the window unconsciously, wanting to take a closer look at the boy.

Before the name came out of his mouth, the boy looked away, it was very strange.

Nor did she hold out hope.

Pei Yanru let go of what she had just mentioned, and her eyes turned slightly.

If she remembers correctly.
The carriage left slowly.

Go along the street towards the magnificent mansion.

But after getting away from the crowd, Pei Yanru opened the curtain, looked back at the direction where the crowd gathered and couldn't see the figure, and said softly, "Ming Xi, go and buy that boy back, the mansion happens to be short of servants."

Ming Xi was still silently praying for the young man in her heart. Hearing Pei Yanru's words, the hand holding the horse rope under her paused slightly, her brows brightened, "Okay, maidservant will go later."

The carriage stopped outside a magnificent mansion, and the "Pei Mansion" written on the vermilion plaque was mentioned by the first emperor himself.

But now ashes are born, but no one cares.

Pei Yanru stepped on the bench and got out of the carriage, looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar mansion, as if it had been a lifetime away.

Suddenly laughed.

It is indeed a lifetime away.

Ming Xi was still thinking about that handsome young gentleman, dragged the carriage and handed it over to the stable steward excitedly, and then ran to the street with her skirt up.

Pei Yanru only heard one sentence, "The servant girl will definitely bring that young gentleman back" and saw the thirteen or fourteen year old girl running fast with the wind on her feet.

The steward of the stable trembled like he was holding a hot potato, looked at Pei Yanru tremblingly, bowed and saluted, "Miss is well."

Pei Yanru's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded slightly, "Uncle Yang."

No wonder Ming Xi and Uncle Yang were afraid of her. Once upon a time, when she was traveling with the daughter of the Song Mansion, a servant girl in the mansion accidentally scalded the daughter of the Song Mansion while making tea. Tied up and tied to the carriage, dragged people all the way back to the mansion, small punishments and big punishments.

At that time, she was worried that she might offend the Song family, so she didn't dare to refuse.

Little did they know that the servant girl had a cough earlier, she couldn't stand this kind of torture, and lost her breath halfway.

After that, the daughter of the Song Mansion pushed all the responsibility on her, and she couldn't say anything. Since then, she has gained a bad reputation in Beijing for treating slaves harshly.

Even the maids and mother-in-law in the mansion also listened to people's words, and feared her as if she was a scourge.

Pei Yanru sighed lightly, now that she's back, it's not long before this incident happened, so it's understandable that the people in the house are afraid of her.

She lifted the hem of her skirt lightly and stepped over the threshold.

The pear tree in front of the hall is blooming well, with snow-white flowers embedded among the black branches, dotted with silver stars.

The mansion was silent, and a cleaning maid saw Pei Yanru in front of the hall, with a pale face, she stepped forward to salute, "Miss is well."

"Where are the other girls, grandma?" Pei Yanru asked gently.

Sweat broke out on the little girl's forehead, a little unwillingness flashed in her eyes but she didn't dare to show it, she just replied nonchalantly, "Responding to the elder lady, the old lady is resting in the room, the second girl has not yet returned from home, and the third girl is in the study." Reading, the fourth girl is also in the room."

Pei Yanru recognized that this maid was the sister who had been friends with the dead maid on weekdays, her name was Mingxin, and she understood it. She patted the girl's head and said, "You should be busy first, I will take care of Mingyou's affairs." Arrangement, we will never wrong her."

After saying that, Pei Yanru raised his legs and walked towards the Anning Hall.

Ming Xin drooped her eyebrows and didn't dare to raise her head until she couldn't see the light blue skirt. Her little hand couldn't help stroking the hair that the older girl had touched.

The warm touch seems to have a soothing magic power, and the resentment full of resentment has been suppressed a little.

Mingxin stared at the direction Pei Yanru left, the broken blade hidden in her sleeve cut her palm, the wet and tingling feeling made her wake up a bit, but it was even more painful.
-
Outside Anning Hall.

Pei Yanru paused when he smelled the strong smell of medicine in the courtyard, his eyes were slightly hot.

Grandmother Luo Shi, like her deceased grandfather, spent her entire life as a soldier, earning the Pei family the title of general's mansion, and now she is lingering on a sick bed, dying.

But he is still regarded as a thorn in the side of the new emperor, and he can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible.

It's really Boliang but the emperor's house.

Seeing her, the woman serving at the door was overjoyed, and hurriedly put up her skirt and walked into the inner room, "Madam, the young lady is back!"

Soon, an old but powerful voice came, "Sister Ling is back? Come to me and have a look."

Pei Yanru didn't care to think about it, and hurriedly stepped into the house, he felt the smell of the medicine outside the house, and the smell of the medicine was even worse when he entered the house.

She crossed the screen, and when her eyes fell on the old face on the bed, the tears in her eyes couldn't help falling. She walked a few steps quickly, and held the skinny hand of the old man, "Grandma, I'm back."

"Hey, it's good to be back, this trip has hurt you." Luo Shi hurriedly wiped away the girl's continuous tears with silk, feeling extremely distressed.

Although her sister Ling is a bit cowardly, she seldom sheds tears in front of ordinary people, and this time she may have been greatly wronged.

"Grandmother, don't be busy, granddaughter is fine."

Pei Yanru took the handkerchief and wiped away all the tears, only firmness remained in his eyes.
