stern wife

Chapter 652 Old things
Pei Xingshan picked up the booklet, read it again carefully, then closed it, and put it back on the desk with both hands respectfully.

Pei Xingshan cupped his hands, and said in a calm voice:
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak falsely.

The life experience that I reported to His Majesty when I asked for the imperial order for my mother was only what I knew.

As for the truth, forgive me for being ignorant, please Your Majesty to find out clearly.

If the truth is quite inconsistent with the situation reported by the minister, the minister is willing to accept the punishment.

But——in the matter of killing and silence, the minister dared to guarantee his life, it was definitely not the minister's doing. "

Pei Xingshan learned to be smart this time, instead of denying what was written in the notebook, he picked himself out first.

Moreover, this time he also had the intention of completely abandoning the old lady, so in his words, there was a hint that he was also a victim of being deceived.

Emperor Chixuan's face softened slightly.

In fact, he didn't really believe that Pei Xingshan could do such stupid things as murder and silence.

After so many years of working in the officialdom, the Grand Duke of the country knows what to do is in his best interest, and what to do will be detrimental to himself.

but……

Regarding the life experience of the old lady in the Duke's Mansion, it is another matter.

One monarch and one minister had questions and answers, but the old lady at the side listened in a cloud of mist. She hurriedly reached out and tugged at Pei Xingshan's sleeve, and asked in a low voice:
"Shizhong, what are you and His Majesty talking about? What happened?"

The old lady who has been domineering in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion for many years has long since worn away her caution and vigilance, and has not noticed the ruthlessness and coldness in her son's words at all.

Moreover, regarding her life experience, ever since she thought that she had eliminated all the insiders, she completely put this matter behind her, thinking that no one would mention it again.

Pei Xingshan did not shake off her hand, but said indifferently:

"Mother, don't make any noise in front of Your Majesty."

"Hey! You kid..."

Before the old lady put on the airs of her elders again, she heard the majestic voice of Emperor Chixuan from ahead:
"Old lady Pei, I have something to ask you, where did you come from and who were your parents before you were brought into the Duke's mansion?!"

"what?"

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, she never expected that the Holy Majesty would ask this question, she was at a loss for words for a while, but she couldn't answer after thinking for a long time.

In fact, she can't be blamed for this, because there is no real life experience to remember firmly for the fabricated life experience.

The set of identities that Pei Xingshan fabricated for her back then, after the palace sent someone to question her, she immediately forgot all about it.

Moreover, that was many years ago, it would be strange if she could remember it!
Emperor Chixuan sneered, not without ridicule:
"Why, as I get older, I even forget where I used to live and who my parents were?"

The old lady hurriedly nodded and agreed:
"That's right, what Your Majesty said is very true. I am really old and useless! I can't even remember such things!"

"Then let me help you think about it, how about it?"

Emperor Chixuan said slowly:

"Remember Hongchen Pavilion? That's where your mother lived, gave birth to you, and raised you.

Hongchen Pavilion is a land of love and moon. In fact, before that, your mother’s background was not bad. She came from an ordinary family and ran a small business. Although the family was not rich, compared to those poor people, it was Much better, it can be said that there is food and clothing.

However, because your mother was born with a certain beauty, after Jiji, you were sought after by many princes and brothers for a while.

It's a pity that she was confused by picking and choosing, she actually chose the most ruthless one, and then, without any surprise, she was abandoned by the other party.

When she was sought after by others, she enjoyed a life she had never enjoyed before, spending money like water, being extravagant and lustful.

So much so that, after being abandoned, she no longer wanted to return to her original home and continue to live that 'hard life'. She actually voluntarily entered a brothel and demoted herself to a humble status, just to continue enjoying a life of wealth and glory. .

Moreover, she firmly believed that with her beauty, there must be a rich man who would redeem her. "

Pei Xingshan's heart sank when he heard that, he never expected that Emperor Chixuan not only sent someone to investigate the matter in advance, but also dug so deep that even the past of the old lady's mother was dug up to the bottom!
The old lady became more and more confused.

Because, these things, even she herself doesn't know!
Of course, the old lady's mother would not tell the old lady about her small thoughts and the past that was poked in the back.

Emperor Chixuan continued:

"She waited and waited, hoped and hoped, and finally, a wealthy businessman who had a good relationship with her seemed to fall in love with her, and told her that as long as she could give birth to a son for him, he would redeem her for her. She is a concubine.

Because even though the wealthy businessman has married his wife, his wife gave birth to three daughters, all of whom were daughters, and all the daughters born to his aunts were also daughters.

Your mother readily agreed, secretly changed the medicine that can prevent pregnancy, and soon became pregnant.

However, after I was born, I realized that it was still a girl, and that girl was you. "

The old lady opened her mouth and hurriedly wanted to deny it, but Emperor Chixuan didn't give her a chance to interject.

"After the rich businessman learned about this, he immediately turned his face and turned his back on him. Your mother is a man of thousands, and I don't know if the child is his or not.

Ever since, I left you mother and daughter and never came again.

Your mother carried you to find the place where the rich businessman lived, and made a few fuss, but in the end they were all beaten out.

Your mother had no choice but to bring you back to the brothel. You also grew up in the brothel.

Later, before you listed to pick up customers, you met Pei Aiqing's father, and you were brought into the Duke's Mansion by him, and you left Hongchen Pavilion completely.

After that, you redeemed your mother from the brothel, gave her some servants and a sum of money, and sent her away far away.

Later, she died of illness outside, and even the servants around her disappeared.

By the way, although I can't trace your mother's real name, your mother has a flower name called 'Lue', isn't it? "

After listening to Emperor Chixuan's long speech, the old lady's face was pale and her breathing was short of breath.

Hearing this, he immediately shook his head desperately in denial:

"No, no! It's not like that!"

No matter how stupid she is, she knows that this kind of thing must never be admitted.

Back then, she lied to the old man that she was abducted and sold because she was afraid that the old man would not want her because of this.

Later, she deceived Emperor Chixuan in order to allow herself to sit on the throne of First Grade Imperial Lady and enjoy her salary.

But now, she continued to lie to save her life.

After all, the crime of bullying the emperor will be beheaded!

Emperor Chixuan asked coldly:
"What's that like?"

"Yes Yes……"

The old lady was eager to defend herself, but her head seemed to be rusted, and she couldn't think of any words.
