I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 220

The carriage stopped slowly, and a few people got out of the carriage and walked into an alley in an area. Pei Jin's expression gradually changed, as if he knew this place.

"Where is it?" Lin Qingyang asked Chu Lishu curiously in a low voice.

Chu Lishu replied: "It should be Uncle Pei Jin's private house."

When the four of them came to the back alley, Chu Lishu said to Pei Jin, "Go up and have a look."

After finishing speaking, let Lu Yi lead the people to fly up to the fence.

As soon as Pei Jin went up, she heard movements in the yard, the most obvious of which was her uncle's voice. Taking a quick look, her uncle was standing in the yard talking to the people under the shade of the trees.And her name is in the conversation.

Pei Jin's face was serious, and she quietly lay on the wall, listening with a blank expression.

"I don't know what's going on with big brother? Pei Jin's heart is wild, and her wings are hardened. I really don't know how to be obedient. Don't fall short and offend the emperor. If you want me to say that you shouldn't take the risk of letting her be your heir. Well, let a woman take power, chaos will happen sooner or later, look at what happened with the third prince before, wouldn't ordinary women just follow? How can she be wronged like this? Look at what she told us, we know that she has already He completely regarded himself as the person in charge of the Pei family in the future, and said that he would never marry for life and lead the Pei family. If our Pei family was reduced to a woman to lead it, it would be a joke. Fortunately, you have woken up. "

"Hey, Jin'er's suffering is something that you men can't understand. If you say it, it's all my fault. If I could have given birth to a son for the master, I wouldn't have embarked on this path. Now I have to wrong Jin'er. "

Pei Jin was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that the person who was talking to her uncle was actually her mother, so mother also knew about today's events from beginning to end?A corner of Pei Jin's heart began to collapse. She thought that among her closest relatives, at least her mother would love her dearly.

Just as she was smiling wryly in her heart, she saw Mrs. Pei coming out from the shade of the tree. At that moment, Pei Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and a cry of a child resounded throughout the courtyard.

Pei Jin stared stiffly at the several-month-old child, and ruled out all possible reasons, the most unlikely one appeared in front of Pei Jin's eyes.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly handed the child to the nanny, and then reluctantly watched the nanny take the baby away.

But as soon as the child left, Mrs. Pei's expression changed. "Has the woman been dealt with?"

Second Master Pei said: "Sister-in-law is so ruthless, leave the mother and keep the son. My dancer is also a great contributor to giving birth to a son for the eldest brother. If it weren't for her, wouldn't you still have to keep Pei Jin?"

Mrs. Pei's face was ugly, "If it wasn't for the master's recovery, I wouldn't be able to give birth, and I can't let this lowly slave give birth to an heir for the Pei family. If it is not dealt with cleanly, the Pei family will be laughed at in the future .”

Second Master Pei didn't expose Mrs. Pei's careful thoughts, "Don't worry, big brother agrees, I will definitely deal with it. When Pei Jin enters the palace, he will say that the child's biological mother has passed away, and make up a suitable birthday horoscope to prevent Pei Jin from being suspicious, and then take the child in." Returning to the Pei family, recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan, the people on our side will be more stable at that time. It's ridiculous that other people thought that the eldest brother let Pei Jin enter the palace to give their son a chance to be the heir."

Mrs. Pei sighed, "If the master hadn't given Jin'er too much power before, I was worried that even if Jin'er was willing to give up the position of heir in the future, she would take Bao'er out of the picture, so she wouldn't have to let her enter the palace."

"She shouldn't be wronged. When the emperor's concubine, her child may become a prince in the future. She will become the emperor. She is a noble queen mother. We have not treated her badly. This is the best fate for Pei's daughter. gone."

The conversation between the two below sounded like they were trying to find the most legitimate reason for what they did, and Lu Yi couldn't take it anymore, and looked at Pei Jin who was at the side with great sympathy.

But Pei Jin didn't have any expression on her face, as if emotions had been hollowed out on her face, and she looked panic-stricken.

Under the wall, Chu Lishu had already explained the ins and outs of the matter to Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingyang was dumbfounded, "Is it because of her great ability that she is afraid that she will snatch power from her younger brother in the future? Just because of Pei Jin's strong performance with the third prince before, they think she will not be obedient and give up power? So If you want to change the heir, throw her away like trash?"

Chu Lishu raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't throw away waste, isn't this a full use? For this reason, I even tried every means to hide this child from Pei Jin from the beginning, so that Pei Jin would not think of the heir when he enters the palace in the future. In this way, she will only be happy that she has added a younger brother. Then she will continue to dedicate herself to the Pei family. A woman who is inherently smart has a strong ability to fight, and she has also carried Pei. Even if she becomes a concubine and gives birth to a prince, she will be more focused on Pei's family, protecting Pei's family and her younger brother."

When Lin Qingyang heard this, his head was already smoking with anger.

"So from the moment this child unexpectedly arrived, their family stopped treating Pei Jin as a relative and started plotting?"

Chu Lishu nodded, and said indifferently: "From the perspective of the best interests, it is reasonable."

Lin Qingyang looked up at Pei Jin. He didn't know what Pei Jin was thinking, but as a bystander, Lin Qingyang felt that he was about to explode.

It was not mentioned in the original text, maybe because Pei Jin fell in love with Chu Lishu, he would have had conflicts with the Pei family, and there was no need to use this child, so Chu Lishu didn't say it.Before the child grew up, the Pei family was wiped out by Chu Lishu, and the child might also die.

But now...he became the last straw that crushed Pei Jin.

Lu Yi suddenly asked Chu Lishu for instructions, and Pei Jin seemed to want to go in.

Chu Lishu agreed.

Lin Qingyang was a little worried that he didn't know what Pei Jin was going to do.

And Pei Jin probably didn't know what she was going to do. She just wanted to see her uncle leaving and her mother going to see the child alone.

Law took her to sneak into the house.

Mrs. Pei was talking to the nanny outside, and there was only a child who had just stopped crying lying in the back room.

Pei Jin quietly landed next to the child, looked down, then raised her hand to touch the child's face.

Lu Yi looked nervous for a while, if Pei Jin wanted to kill someone, Lu Shi didn't know whether to stop him, and the master didn't mention this situation in advance.

But at this moment, as soon as Lu heard the movement, he reminded Pei Jin that someone was coming, but Pei Jin didn't move, and just gently rubbed the child's cheek with his hand.

Suddenly there was a scream, Mrs. Pei rushed up, pushed Pei Jin away, and hugged the child tightly.

"Jin'er, why are you here, what were you doing just now, you...you..."

Pei Jin felt as if her heart had been pierced through. Her eyes were shining with water, but her tone was cold: "What does mother think I will do? Kill my brother?"

"You...you know?" Mrs. Pei's face turned pale in an instant, and she said awkwardly, "Jin'er...don't think too much, there...there is a reason for this."

Pei Jin asked in a hoarse voice: "Mother, I am your real one. Isn't he... Are you more willing to defend him? Even at the expense of deceiving me into the abyss? If I say that there can only be one person between me and him today , are you going to stop me?"

Mrs. Pei immediately backed away nervously, as if the daughter in front of her was no longer the daughter she was proud of, but a scourge.

"Jin'er, calm down. He is your own younger brother. He is your father's only bloodline inheritance. Your father is hopeless. It is God's pity that he has such a son. You can't be so selfish!" Mrs. Pei said Li Nei Ren said.

Pei Jin fell silent and did not speak again.

Mrs. Pei thought that Pei Jin had listened, and said, "We are all a family, so naturally we have to support each other. He is not only your father's hope, but also your future support. Jin'er, I know you have resentment in your heart. But you will gradually understand in the future, you... Did you sneak out? The other courtyard...Jin'er, all the arrangements your father made are for everyone's benefit, you...you should go back quickly. "

"For everyone's benefit? Hehe, what if I don't want to enter the palace and make this sacrifice?"

Mrs. Pei's eyes changed a few times, and she looked at Pei Jin in embarrassment.

Pei Jin suddenly took a step forward, and Mrs. Pei almost cried out in fright, but what she saw was that Pei Jin suddenly knelt down towards her, put his hands on his forehead and knelt down, offering the most solemn gift.

"Jin'er, you are..."

"Mother, I apologize for frightening you." Pei Jin said in a deep voice, "Mother, don't need to be nervous. The child is innocent. I won't do anything to the child."

Mrs. Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, she still smiled and said, "You kid really scared me. Look at you, how wrinkled your clothes are, are they wet? Hurry up and change, I'll call Someone will make it for you."

After speaking, she hugged the child and walked out. Seeing that Pei Jin didn't move, Mrs. Pei didn't show any signs of running away.

Not long after Mrs. Pei left the door, Lu Yi from above said in a deep voice: "A group of people came around."

Pei Jin sneered, "Let's go."

When Second Master Pei brought his men in to arrest people, there was no one in the house. Second Master Pei turned around and questioned Mrs. Pei who was in the courtyard.

Mrs. Pei held the child with a dazed expression on her face, "Yes, she is inside, did she run away? Take someone to look for it quickly, lest the master can't do business. This child...why is he so self-willed? Her heart has grown up, how can a daughter be so rebellious and disobedient."

And these words naturally fell into Pei Jin's ears on the wall.

This time, Pei Jin jumped down without staying any longer, and left with Lin Qingyang and the others.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Pei Jin said in a dumb voice: "I want to leave, thank you for letting me see the truth clearly, if you need any repayment, just speak up."

Lin Qingyang looked at Pei Jin's tense cheeks, as if he was about to cry in the next second, obviously trying to hold on, but Pei Jin was extremely proud, it was impossible for him to shed tears easily in front of them, the sadder he was , the more she wants to carry it alone.

Looking at the emotions brewing on that face, Lin Qingyang felt that the atmosphere was so depressing that he wanted to howl, so he didn't speak for a while, looking at Chu Lishu.

Chu Li wrote: "The outside should be looking for you. Let's hide it first. If you want to leave, you can do it tonight."

After finishing speaking, he asked Lu and the others to go to a remote mansion. Lin Qingyang knew that this was Chu Lishu's own mansion, and it was usually used for things that were inconvenient to take back to other homes. There are men and women under him, which is convenient for Tibetans.

Lin Qingyang never asked to come here, but Yuechen and Huo Luo must come here often, and they couldn't help but look at them curiously when they came in.

A servant came and turned out to be dumb, which shows how careful Chu Lishu was. Chu Lishu directly asked a maid to take Pei Jin to freshen up, which was equivalent to giving Pei Jin a chance to deal with her emotions alone.

Then let Lu Yi go to give Liu Jingchen a message that one more person should be added to the caravan leaving the capital tonight, and let them pass by here when they leave.

Seeing Chu Lishu arrange everything in an orderly manner, Lin Qingyang's jaw dropped in shock. If he hadn't been there the whole time, he would have thought that Chu Lishu had already planned to send Pei Jin away.Even the big cousin's caravan was used.

They sat down to drink tea. They thought they would have to wait for a long time, but Pei Jin came out after a while, and Lin Qingyang sprayed the tea directly.

Pei Jin turned out to be dressed as a woman.

The most common girl's hair bun, with a hosta she carried obliquely inserted, the light blue brocade dress made her skin fairer than snow, red lips and pink face, and picturesque eyebrows.

Pei Jin was very beautiful, not inferior to Pei Qianyu's beauty, and even more heroic, which made Lin Qingyang look dumbfounded for a moment.

Chu Lishu was also quite surprised, frowned and said, "Why did you change into women's clothes?"

The maid who followed immediately knelt down in fright, and explained with gestures with her hands. It must have been a misunderstanding, thinking it was a woman, so she naturally prepared women's clothing.

Chu Lishu waved his hand to let people go down, and then Pei Jin slowly said, "I thought you were trying to trick me?"

"I don't have the leisure time."

Pei Jin's voice was hoarse and her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had released her emotions.

When Pei Jin sat down, Chu Lishu said the arrangement, and then said: "They will prepare for the new identity, and the caravan will go to many places along the way. It depends on where you want to stay. With your ability, You should be able to hang out anywhere, but are you sure you want to abandon everything here and leave?"

Pei Jin raised her head, her eyes were full of sadness, and she was obviously desperate for everything here.

"Not staying for revenge is the last thing I will do for Pei." Pei Jin said coldly, "They don't deserve me to continue wasting time."

Pei Jin no longer thought about what would happen to the Pei family without her. From the moment she knelt down with her mother, she separated herself from the Pei family.

Pei Jin was silent for a while, then looked at Chu Lishu. "Tell me, what do you want?"

Chu Lishu said directly: "I lost the bet with my cousin, I just promised to help you once."

"This sounds familiar. When you don't want me to pay the price, it's when I pay the biggest price. I don't say anything. I have already paid the price." Pei Jin is still keen, even if he just suffered a serious injury, It also seems to be able to deal with any problems immediately. "But...it doesn't matter, even if you kill the Pei family now, it doesn't matter to me."

"That's fine, don't ask." Chu Lishu was honest.

Lin Qingyang naturally knew what Chu Lishu meant. Regardless of whether Pei Jin left or not, anyway, Chu Lishu had decided to use the emperor's private visit to Pei's other courtyard to stimulate Concubine Pei and the third prince. conducive to his performance.

"However, I want to buy something from you." Chu Lishu said suddenly.

Pei Jin frowned slightly, "What?"

Chu Lishu smiled and pointed at the jade hairpin in Pei Jin's hair, "100 taels, are you selling it?" Chu Lishu took out the 100 taels of silver notes as he spoke.

The 100 taels was what Lin Qingyang was going to give to Pei Jin, after all, Pei Jin was penniless now.

But Chu Lishu said that Pei Jin would not want it, which annoyed Lin Qingyang for a while.

I didn't expect... there is such a trick.

Pei Jin froze for a moment, looking at Chu Lishu in disbelief.

"I'm useful, and if you use this hairpin as a pawn, it will immediately reveal your position. Why don't you sell it to me."

Pei Jin immediately smiled in relief, didn't ask what was the use, took off the jade hairpin and handed it over, in exchange for 100 taels, "Although I know you won't let yourself suffer, but... I really need it, thank you."

It's just that when Pei Jin said thank you, he looked at Lin Qingyang, which made Lin Qingyang feel that Pei Jin seemed to take all the credit for him.

The servants brought drinks and dishes, and the three chatted while eating. Pei Jin seemed to be gradually recovering from her strong mentality.

After a while, Pei Jin asked for a set of men's clothes to change into again, so that it would be more convenient to follow the caravan.

Looking at Pei Jin who had turned back into a man, Lin Qingyang asked curiously, "Will you continue to pretend to be a man in the future?"

Pei Jin seemed to be able to feel at ease only in men's clothes, "It should always be like this. Only in men's clothes can I do what I want to do. If I become a woman, I can't do anything. Whether it's a businessman or an official career, as long as I want to To make meritorious deeds, you can only be a man."

Such a thought made Lin Qingyang quite helpless, and he could only say: "Maybe one day in the future, even a golden hairpin pink skirt can do whatever he wants, after all, women will not lose to men even if they are powerful."

It's not the first time Pei Jin heard Lin Qingyang say something similar. At first, she thought Lin Qingyang was a useless dude, and saying such things was just an excuse to admit that he had lost, but gradually she understood, Lin Qingyang Yang really felt that even if she was a woman, she could make some achievements, and he believed that she had the ability.

Suddenly, Pei Jin laughed, "Lin Qingyang, you remind me of someone, and some of your thoughts are really similar to him. If he is here, you might follow him."

Before Lin Qingyang asked curiously, Chu Lishu frowned, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Who is it?"

Pei Jin had a habitual look of scruples at first, but she soon said in relief, "Of course... the former prince Yuan Ran."

Lin Qingyang froze for a moment, and glanced at someone in embarrassment.Chu Lishu was quiet for a moment, with an indescribable expression.

However, Pei Jin recalled to herself, and said: "When I was young, I met the first prince at a gathering of teenagers. At that time, I didn't know what topic was discussed, but the first prince suddenly mentioned a point of view."

"He said that there are quite a lot of talented women. It's a pity to stick to the back house. In the future, they should be able to participate in the imperial examination, stand in the court, and step into the battlefield. As long as they want to, as long as they have this ability, they should have This freedom." Pei Jin suddenly laughed when she said this, "Even if the prince Yuan Ran said it, the group of men resisted and tried to deny it when they heard this argument, but a group of people couldn't say anything about the prince at all."

"I was quite surprised when I heard it. In fact, I was interested in being the heir and wanted to do well, but I was always confused about my own daughter. But the words of the first prince made me seem to see some hope. I At that time, I was thinking, wait, when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, maybe a decree will come down, and I can inherit the Pei family in a fair and fair manner and compete with the men. It's a pity that he died before he waited."

Lin Qingyang's state of mind has changed, and when he listens to Yuan Ran in other people's mouths, he can't help but feel regretful. It would be great if he could see Yuan Ran who was so handsome at that time, and then he can't help feeling sorry for Chu Lishu now .

Unable to bear the throbbing in his heart, he opened his mouth and said, "If I were here, I would definitely stand by His Highness's side and help him fight those people. What His Highness says is always right, and His Highness will definitely do what He says. "

The room was quiet for a moment, Chu Lishu stared blankly at Lin Qingyang, looking at that firm expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh, his heart was warm, as if Lin Qingyang was standing beside him that day , as if trying to argue for him.

Pei Jin immediately smiled and said, "That's right, why didn't I say a word for myself back then."
