Chapter 221 Decision
"What did you say?"
The girl in front of her only said a few words, but the amount of information contained in the words made her feel that a heavy rock was falling from the sky and pressing her down in her heart, which made her breathless.
She didn't know that the two hands on her skirt had already been held together and kept twisting them together.
Miss Chen Si's aftertaste swept down slightly, picked up the cup and took a sip, but actually covered her chuckling with her sleeves, and said, "The Supreme Lord originally meant marriage, but Mr. Pei not only did not accept the order, but went to the palace to refuse marriage, but also came to my Chen family with a thorn on his back. Miss Yao, you have made me a joke in the whole capital!"
Miss Chen Si's eyebrows were straight up and she lowered the cup quickly, but she didn't make too loud noises. What puzzled A Yao was that there was no trace of anger on her face, not like provoking a crime, but more like holding on to Pei Shuo for his injustice.
"It's a pity, the girl is coming to the door." Li Gang, who stretched his ears outside and eavesdropped, thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly slipped back to the kitchen to discuss with his sister.
"Sister Yaozhu has her plans and ideas, but you can't think about it. You gossip and eavesdrop on others' words. If you don't teach you a lesson today, you will definitely kill you in the future!" After hearing this, Li Rou's face was not only filled with worry, but she was furious when she learned that Li Gang's actions were even more angry, grabbed his ears and walked towards the backyard.
"Sister! Sister! My ears, be gentle..."
The solution between the siblings was not explained, and the conversation between A Yao and Miss Chen Si continued.
"Girl, then you are here for..."
Miss Chen Si raised her jaw slightly: "Of course I want to see you, how beautiful the whole country is, or what kind of strange woman will make a person like Pei Shuo lower his head and abandon his bright future, even if he was demoted to Wuling, he would have no complaints. Now it seems... "The corners of her mouth bent: "My mother is right. If you want to tie a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach. I am not as good as you."
"The girl was joking, with different identities and different things she did. I am a cook, and it is my responsibility to make delicious dishes for the guests that suit their appetites." A Yao replied.
"It's really delicious." said Miss Chen Si, "I think it took a lot of effort, right?"
"Yes." A Yao nodded, and no longer had any explanation about Sanbuji and double-skin milk, and she just chatted to death.
Relatively silent, the maid was about to speak, but Miss Chen Si glared back at first glance, so she had to lower her head aggrievedly and pull the resentful handkerchief under her sleeves.
Miss Chen Si took another sip of tea, waved her hand, signaling her maid to go down. When she stood outside, she said softly: "Miss Yao, I am not here to make a crime. Mr. Pei is such a wise and brave man, but the girl in the capital is the happy partner. A huge happy event hit me. Before I could digest it, I was taken back by God. On the one hand, I felt sorry for Mr. Pei's sacrifice, and on the other hand, I really wanted to see what kind of woman you are."
A Yao's expression did not move, and she continued to say nothing.
"Now I have seen it and tasted the dessert. It's not too late, so it's time for me to go back." When Miss Chen Si stood up and walked out, she passed by A Yao, "I heard that... the emperor planned to let Mr. Pei Shuo and Pei set off for Renwuling within ten days."
The voice was very light, only the two of them could hear it.
A Yao turned around, Miss Chen Si had already boarded the carriage with the help of the maid. The coachman raised the reins and drove away from Sun Niang's foot shop.
"Sister Yaozhu, that girl isn't making things difficult for you, right?" Li Rou, who had taught her younger brother a lesson, kept peeking at the kitchen curtain. She saw A Yao sending her off and then came to her to ask, but after waiting for a while, she didn't get her response. She couldn't help but raise her voice: "Sister Yaozhu?"
It seemed like a thunderclap scared her and she was shocked: "Ah?"
"Sister Yaozhu, did she say something?"
A Yao shook her head, took off her apron on her waist and handed it to Li Rou and ran away: "You and Li Gang take good care of the store, so please tell the boss lady, I'll go out, I'll not come back today."
She ran all the way to the founding Marquis Mansion, without any preparation to "what should I say after knocking on the founding Marquis Mansion", and a tight string broke in her mind. At this moment, she just wanted to see Pei Shuo, that's all.
The plum bottle on the table is simple and elegant, and the branch is unique. Pei Shuo writes quickly and writes with great pleasure. Few people know that this eldest son of the Pei family, who is playing the piano in the bamboo forest and dancing swords under the moon, is currently being banned by the founding marquis.
As footsteps came, two people came, one in front of the other, one behind, one in front of the honeysuckle, and the one behind the footsteps was quick, and the one behind the footsteps was A Yao.
With only his ears moving, Pei Shuo, who was inside, knew who was coming. Even after he went to Chen's mansion, he was confined to the military strategy at home. Before he could send a message to A Yao, he just remembered A Yao. With this thought, she came. I thought that she must have a good understanding of her.
Pei Shuo was in a better mood. He finished his pen in one go, tidied up his clothes, and greeted A Yao with an elegant posture.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Pei Shuo was about to say something about Feng Qingyun, but before he could say anything, he keenly realized that A Yao was in a bad state, as if he had lost his soul, his eyes and nose were red. I wonder if he had already cried for a while when he came, and he ignored his pretending demeanor, walked around the desk and came to her, held her shoulder, and asked anxiously: "Who bullied you?"
A Yao stared at her red eyes, her eyes focused on Pei Shuo's face, and stared at him deeply: "Pei Shuo, let me ask you, are you resisting the order?"
"..." The corners of his mouth froze and he slowly pursed his lips.
“Yes, right?”
A pain in her shoulders, Pei Shuo pinched her shoulders tightly, A Yao suffered pain, frowned slightly, and confirmed softly again: "You went to the Chen family to break the engagement."
"You are just asking me?" Her reaction fell in Pei Shuo's eyes. He let go of his shackles on her. After all, he was still reluctant to hurt A Yao, with fragility and helplessness in his eyes, and a little aggrieved.
Why do you come to question me? His eyes accused me.
"If Miss Chen Si doesn't tell me, will I be kept in the dark when you leave the capital and are demoted to Wuling!" A Yao asked. "Didn't you ask me if I'm willing to marry you? Then why can't I come now?"
"and you……"
After a little contact with the previous and the next, Pei Shuo suddenly stuttered and panic hit his heart. If A Yao becomes a vain person and abandons him when he sees him being demoted, how should he deal with it?
Thinking about it this way, my heart was already filled with a dull pain and I could hardly breathe.
Pei Shuo lowered his eyes, cast shadows on his eyelashes, his eyes were as ink as ink, and his strong thoughts were rolling and making a decision. If Ayao dared to abandon him, then he would break his wings and be imprisoned in the house, and be happy with him every night, so that she could never leave him.
A Yao was not sure about Pei Shuo's dangerous thoughts, and her confused look gradually faded from her face and made an important decision.
He was still saying, "I don't say anything, you take everything to yourself. I'll tell you, if you don't say anything next time, then you can just be alone or find a confidante to talk to me. What are you doing with me?"
After saying that, A Yao snorted and turned around with her arms around.
Could this mean? Pei Shuo chewed the meaning of her words and savored it and raised his head in surprise. The joy in his heart was filled with words, as if he had waited until the second half of the night, and the meteor still did not appear. Seeing the dawn of dawn appeared on the horizon in the east, he accidentally caught the arrival of a miracle after disappointment and regret.
"A Yao, have you agreed? Have you agreed to marry me?"
A Yao raised her head slightly and looked up at Pei Shuo. Her little eyes quickly shifted to his forehead. She nodded coldly and loudly, and her voice was very small.
Pei Shuo was overjoyed, grabbed her hand and ran towards Shenyuantang.
After passing through the corridors, as he saw the distance between Shenyuan Hall and the guards were guarding him in front of the courtyard, A Yao quickly grabbed Pei Shuo and stopped moving forward.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm waiting for you here."
Pei Shuo looked at the direction of the study, looked back at her, understood her thoughts, and nodded, "Okay, then you are waiting for me here... It's not good, it's windy here. Come here, sit here and wait for me, don't run around, don't you hear it?" He took A Yao to the pavilion, repeatedly reminded him, and turned back to see his father one step at a time.
In the study, Pei Zhengwen raised his head and glanced at him, and jokingly said: "Here you are wandering outside, I thought you didn't really want to come in."
Pei Shuo obediently lowered his hands and listened to the lecture. His shoulders sank. It turned out that the little white snake climbed on his shoulder. It hung its head on his right shoulder, and the snake was hanging on its back, as if it was decorated. "A Yao felt it was not good to come in rashly, so she waited outside... Dad! A Yao agreed!"
Compared to Pei Shuo's sudden excitement, Pei Zhengwen was still calm and even raised the tone slightly: "Well, did you tell her that you not only can't inherit the title, but also was exiled to Wuling? Did she also accept your little pet?"
"She had known it for a long time, and she had thought about making it into a snake soup." The moment she mentioned the snake soup, the little white snake was furious, weak, helpless, and had to be eaten, which was extremely sad. Pei Shuo raised his left hand, pointed his head with his fingers, and then smoothed it down like a hair. "She also knew that I was demoted to Wuling."
There was another sentence he didn't dare to say. He felt that it was because of his demotion that A Yao agreed so readily. Others disliked the poor and loved the rich, but she was the opposite. If he wanted to inherit the title of Founding Marquis, she might be sure that she would hide far away in the next second and would not be able to find her.
But she didn't know that the title of founding marquis could not last forever. Looking at the scenery, such glory was actually based on the trust of the emperor. The emperor's trust was thinner than the ice on the river surface in early winter. This generation had his father who lived and died and saved him with his life. What about his generation, or the next generation? Maybe it would become a stepping stone to pave the way for the next emperor.
"Even if you know you have been demoted to Wuling, you are willing to follow you? This girl sounds quite stupid." Pei Zhengwen raised her eyebrows, "Call her in."
It is one thing to go to see the parents, but it is another thing to be called by the parents to talk alone. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a little shocked. When she saw Dad Pei, what should she say? Will Dad Pei be looked down upon by Dad Pei?
At this moment, she heard Pei Shuo calling her, and his hand was also held by him. Pei Shuo was very warm, which was obviously much colder than her hands. Moreover, her palms were sticky and sweaty in her palms. Thinking of this, she wanted to take back her hand. It was so embarrassing, but she was grabbed by him.
Pei Shuo took out a sweat towel, wiped the sweat from her palms, and used his own hands to warm her hands, "Don't be nervous, my father likes you too." He kept pulling A Yao to the door of the study, "I'll wait for you outside."
When she pushed open the door, she had just stepped into the study and the parents of the house asked to close the door.
The study room was very bright. A Yao looked up and glanced at it, then quickly lowered her head. At that glance just now, there was no one on the Grand Master's chair.
"Come to me." Pei Dad called out, signaling her to come and sit. The place where she talked was located on the west side of the study. When she came, she heard Pei Shuo's introduction and said that there was a stream behind the house to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
A Yao was blessed silently, and after sitting down, her waist straightened, and her heart was up and down.
Pei Zhengwen: "I heard that you already know that Pei Shuo is going to be transferred to Wuling."
Here comes. A Yao let out a breath and tried to calm herself down and not tremble. "Yes, before, because of the disparity in identity, I dare not expect that it was Miss Chen Si who asked me and said bluntly that Pei Shuo was demoted to Wuling because I refused to marry. He did this, I..." A Yao choked up and didn't know how to continue. Her eyes were very bright with tears, with a firm look, "He will never leave me, I will not abandon me. If you agree, I will accompany him to Wuling and spend the rest of his life with him."
"I've asked you once a long time ago. Putting aside the identity issue, you are willing to marry my son. I had this question at that time, and I won't stop you now." Pei Zhengwen said.
A Yao looked up suddenly, as if she was dreaming. She thought that Pei Dad would treat her as a beauty because of Pei Shuo's refusal to marry, but she did not expect that she would not disturb her.
"You don't have to be surprised. I knew your existence long ago. Pei Shuo lost his mother when he was young. I was in the military camp for many years. There were men in the family. The internal affairs and the central staff always needed a woman to take care of him. At that time, he was still young and could not understand. I asked someone to send him to a villa. Later, you appeared."
So from the beginning when she met Bo Bu Chuanyang's four-person group, did she already fall into Pei Zhengwen's eyes?
"Shame..." A Yao recalled what happened to the Lu family in Jiangliu County and was immediately struck by lightning. Oh my God, Pei Shuo hurt him, and Dad Pei must have known it too. It's still too late to dig a hole to bury himself.
"You can subdue this demon king in the world and let him take the initiative to change himself and make achievements. What reason do I have to object?" Pei Zhengwen smiled rarely.
Pei Shuo was walking outside Shenyuan Hall, lying by the door from time to time, wishing his ears were more sensitive, and he heard something talking inside. As time passed by, he repeatedly went back and forth, and his expression became more and more anxious. He had been inside for a long time, why didn't he come out yet?
After suppressing the idea of breaking in for the thirty times, the door opened.
"A Yao, what's wrong with my father... What's wrong with you? Do you disagree? We are thinking of something else!" Pei Shuo asked nervously.
A Yao walked out from inside with her head down, bowed her head, and whispered: "I'll go home to rest first, your father will call you to go in."
Pei Shuo rushed in: "Dad——"
A Yao covered her sleeves and laughed secretly, leaving the rest to Master Wangyue...
