Chapter 187: pity him
Chapter 187 Just pity him
"Hey, okay." Pei Xuanting said helplessly, "Then it seems that I'm the only one who left early."
Pei Yi hurriedly said: "Second brother, Mr. Ji'an is not planning to return to Beijing now, can you wait for him?"
Pei Xuan was stunned, and asked with a blank face: "Who is Mr. Ji An?"
Pei Yi winked at her elder brother, and mouthed: "Third Highness."
Pei Xuanting sneered immediately, and teased: "They are all my own, what are you covering up. Since you have mentioned the Sanskrit to me several times, then I will wait for the third prince for a few days."
Qisha was standing beside Pei Yi, and he was really surprised when he heard the words "Third Prince".
So the crippled Ji An in the backyard is actually the third prince today?
Qi Sha suddenly felt enlightened, no wonder the third master rescued Mr. Ji An that day, at that time he thought the third master was attracted to Ji An's beauty, but it turned out that he was interested in Ji An's identity?
Pei Yi felt so helpless when she saw her brother say these words carelessly.
She got up a little annoyed and said, "I have to go to the study, second brother can play by himself."
Pei Xuanting let out a smirk, and secretly thought that the little girl was fascinated by the third prince, and she was so eager to cover up her identity for the third prince. Is that necessary?
Study room.
Pei Yi was bored reading a book for a while, and suddenly heard a servant report: "Third Master, Mr. Ji'an is asking to see you."
Pei Yi put down the book in her hand, sat upright and said, "Please come in."
Huo Yuan's legs have not fully recovered, and he still wears a pair of crutches, but his walking is much faster than before.
"I don't know why Your Highness is looking for me?" Pei Yi asked seriously.
Huo Yuan glanced at her, and said with a smile: "When did you speak so seriously?"
Pei Yi smiled and immediately relaxed.
She sat on the teacher's chair carelessly, and said casually: "I've always been so serious."
Huo Yuan couldn't help laughing, walked forward with a walking stick, and said in a low voice: "I do have something important to tell you—I just got the news that the noble daughter of the Bai family is actually Xu Xiaoxiao."
Pei Yi had already guessed this matter, and was not too surprised to hear Huo Yuan's words.
Huo Yuan's face was serious, and he lowered his voice and continued: "Su Luoyun took Xu Xiaoxiao's identity this time, and even planned to kill Xu Xiaoxiao."
"However, Xu Xiaoxiao is also fate. The assailant accidentally killed Granny Xu who adopted her, but accidentally let her go."
"Su Luoyun failed at one plan, and made another plan, secretly buying local ruffians to tarnish Xu Xiaoxiao."
"That day, if you hadn't rescued Xu Xiaoxiao in time, I'm afraid that Mrs. Xu would have committed suicide in shame and anger."
Actually, Huo Yuan could not have told Saburo Pei about these things.
After all, the fact that the noble daughter of the Bai family is a counterfeit can be used as a handle in his hands, and if one more person knows, the effect of this handle will be so weak.
Even so, Huo Yuan still wanted to share what he found with Pei Sanlang.
He understood that he might trust Pei Sanlang a little too much.
But he just couldn't help himself.
Pei Yi was horrified.
Although she knew that Su Luoyun was a vicious and green tea person when she was reading the book, Pei Yi still couldn't help being surprised when she heard Su Luoyun's vicious behavior with her own ears.
"Then what does His Highness plan to do?" Pei Yi asked.
Huo Yuan smiled and said: "Since Su Luoyun wants to climb up, I'll give her a ride."
Pei Yi was astonished, and asked uncertainly: "Your Highness means...follow the tide?"
"That's right." Huo Yuan nodded slightly, and said with a sneer, "It's not easy to be a noble lady in the capital, so let Su Luoyun enjoy the glory and wealth of the Bai family in the capital for now. As for Xu Xiaoxiao, I'll leave it to you let's go."
Pei Yi was very surprised.
She originally thought that with Huo Yuan's suspicious personality, she should drag Xu Xiaoxiao into his own hands. But who would have thought that Huo Yuan would keep such an important trump card as Xu Xiaoxiao by her side.
Huo Yuan glanced at Pei Yi's expression, inexplicably embarrassed.
He blushed slightly, pretending to be cold and arrogant: "You and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope now, whether Xu Xiaoxiao is with you or with me, it makes no difference."
There is still a little difference...
Pei Yi retorted silently in her heart, but she didn't say it on the face.
After thinking over and over again, she couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, although I don't know what you have in mind, can't we expose Su Luoyun now? With Su Luoyun's temperament as a monster, if she goes to the capital, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." Very much."
Huo Yuan smiled and said: "Do you really think that now that Su Luoyun's lie is exposed, the Bai family will recognize Xu Xiaoxiao?"
Pei Yi was puzzled: "What does your Highness mean?"
Huo Yuan smiled contemptuously and said: "This noble lady of the Bai family has been living in exile for more than ten years. The Bai family didn't look for her in the early years, but at this juncture, she suddenly remembered such a person. Are you kind?"
Pei Yi was even more puzzled: "Could it be that the Bai family needs to use their daughter for something?"
"It's nothing more than wanting to get married." Huo Yuan's eyes were full of disdain, and he said jokingly, "Do you think a beautiful and ambitious daughter of the Bai family is more suitable for marriage, or a plain, dull and rude daughter of the Bai family?" Is the daughter of the family more suitable for marriage?"
Pei Yi took a breath: "Just for the sake of marriage, can the Bai family directly misidentify their daughter?"
Huo Yuan's eyes showed contempt, and he said with a fake smile: "You really think that Bai Liulang is an idiot, don't you know that Su Luoyun buys murderers to kill people?"
Pei Yi's face paled in shock, and her spine felt cold.
She was still wondering why Su Luoyun had the courage to let Xu Xiaoxiao follow her—after all, as long as Bai Liulang looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's face, he would inevitably not be suspicious.
After a long time, did Bai Liulang acquiesce in Su Luoyun's persecution of Xu Xiaoxiao?
"Why are you so surprised?" Huo Yuan looked at the young man beside him jokingly, and joked, "He who is planning to go into official career, why is he so insensitive to the vicious methods of the nobles in Kyoto?"
These remarks can be regarded as scolding the Pei family in Jingdu.
Pei Yi felt strangely uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she smiled wickedly: "Your Highness, how could you scold yourself too?"
Isn’t the royal family also nobles?
Huo Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Why is Saburo Pei so naughty?
"By the way, Your Highness, my second brother may not be in Linhe County for a few days. When do you plan to leave?" Pei Yi asked.
Huo Yuan was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "After your scientific examination is over, I will go back to Beijing with you."
Actually, he could have left with Pei Erlang right now.
But for some reason, as long as he thought of Pei Sanlang preparing for the exam in Linhe County alone, he felt that he was... pitiful.
He couldn't help but want to stay with Pei Sanlang.
Yes, he wanted to stay because he felt sorry for Pei Sanlang.
