52. Chapter 52

Pei You left the same day.

What shocked Jiang Wan was that when he left, he didn't take Pei Yulian with him.

She broke up unhappily after a conversation with him, and when she returned home, she stuffed herself in the house and refused to go out, Pei Yulian saw that she was in a bad mood, so she quietly accompanied her.

Later, Pei Yulian went to her own house, but when she came back, she was panicked.

"Sister Wan, my brother, my brother is gone! I can't find him anywhere! He's gone, he doesn't want me anymore! Pei Yulian cried as she spoke.

Although Jiang Wan also complained about Pei You at the moment, she still comforted Pei Yulian and said, "Yulian, your brother is only a blood relative to you, and he will not leave you." Maybe he's gone to Lizheng's house, and he should be back in a while. ”

Jiang Wan thought, if Pei You wants to leave, he must always take care of all kinds of things, and then take Pei Yulian with him, how can he just leave?

Seeing that Pei Yulian was really panicked, Jiang Wan had to take her to Xu Guanghai's house. But Xu Guanghai did not have Pei You at home.

"Uncle Cousin, have you seen Mr. Pei?" Jiang Wan asked.

Xu Guanghai sighed: "He's gone, he's gone to the capital!" ”

Jiang Wan frowned and said, "But Yulian is still here......"

Xu Guanghai shook his head: "He won't take Yulian away." ”

Jiang Wan couldn't believe it: "Mr. Pei is not a person who will abandon his relatives and enjoy wealth alone. ”

Xu Guanghai looked at Pei Yulian, who was frightened by his words, with pity, and said, "Then Yulian must be his own sister!" ”

"Uncle Cousin, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Wan was surprised.

Xu Guanghai sighed again and said, "I only learned today that Mr. Pei is not the son of Pei Tiezhu and Xu Chunying......"

"What? This, this can't be! Jiang Wan couldn't believe it, "Didn't you say that Mr. Pei was born from Aunt Chunying's childhood?" ”

Xu Guanghai sighed: "In fact, that year, the people in our village did not see Xu Chunying give birth to Mr. Pei with their own eyes. At that time, Xu Chunying's health was very bad, and Tie Zhu later took her to rent a room in the county seat, so that it was convenient to see the doctor, and they only returned to the village when Mr. Pei was born safely. And this matter is still Xu Chunying's own letter. ”

"Letter?" Jiang Wan was surprised. Isn't Xu Chunying blind, how did she write the letter? Could it be that she wrote it before she was blind, but at that time, for no reason, why did she write such a letter explaining that Pei You was not her biological son? Moreover, Xu Chunying can still recognize words and write letters?

Xu Guanghai said: "Yes, Mr. Pei brought the letter to me, and he also took the handwriting that Xu Chunying had written before, which is indeed Xu Chunying's handwriting." What a sin! He suddenly sighed again.

"Uncle Cousin, what exactly does the letter say?" Jiang Wan asked anxiously.

Xu Guanghai said: "The letter said that Mr. Pei was not the biological son of Tiezhu and Xu Chunying, but was born with the help of a pregnant woman who lived in the county seat at that time. At that time, Tie Zhu was not there, the pregnant woman gave birth with the help of Xu Chunying, and gave birth to a son, but the person passed out, Xu Chunying was about to give birth at that time, she wanted her son to gain a foothold, so she actually ...... The pregnant woman was suffocated to death, and the baby boy was taken away, and then she really gave birth to a daughter, so she transferred the bag, and after the iron pillar returned, she said that she had given birth to a son, and the baby girl was entrusted by them to a childless couple for adoption. That baby boy is Mr. Pei today! ”

Xu Guanghai shook his head as he spoke, his face full of sighs. Who would have thought? Xu Chunying, who usually looks like Sven, can do such a ridiculous and cruel thing as killing her mother and taking her son! When he read the letter, he really couldn't believe it.

Jiang Wan's face was full of shock: "This, how is this possible?" ”

Even when she was most dissatisfied with Xu Chunying in the past, Jiang Wan would not think that she was the kind of vicious person who would kill people. Just to kill an innocent pregnant woman just for a son to gain a foothold, Xu Chunying really did this kind of thing?

"It was Xu Chunying who repented before she died, so she wrote that letter, otherwise who would know what kind of person she is?" Xu Guanghai said, "Poor Mr. Pei has been a thief for more than 20 years!" ”

"Mr. Pei, he ...... Believe them all? Jiang Wan asked blankly.

"If it weren't for the facts, who would have orchestrated themselves like that? How could Mr. Pei not believe it? Xu Guanghai said, "He told me that he would go back to the capital, as for Yulian...... Although Yulian is innocent, as soon as he sees her, he will think of the revenge of killing his mother, and he is not willing to raise offspring for the enemy who killed his mother, so he will not take Yulian away, let us hand over Yulian to someone trustworthy to raise. ”

Xu Guanghai said, and glanced at Pei Yulian with pity. This little girl was supposed to follow Mr. Pei to the capital to be a housekeeper, but who knew that there would be such twists and turns. In fact, so many years have passed, if Xu Chunying doesn't say it, who can know about it? But she probably hid that terrible secret for a lifetime, and when she was dying, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she chose to tell the truth to Mr. Pei. It's just that I pity Pei Yulian.

Xu Guanghai's words, Pei Yulian understood, she opened her eyes wide, and muttered: "My mother killed my brother's mother?" My brother doesn't want me anymore......"

Jiang Wan hurriedly hugged Pei Yulian and reassured her: "Yulian, there must be some misunderstanding in this, don't believe it yet!" We'll ask your brother later, he won't just leave you behind!" ”

Pei Yulian's eyes were glazed, and she didn't seem to listen to Jiang Wan's words.

Seeing Pei Yulian's empty and lifeless appearance, Jiang Wan felt a pain in her heart and couldn't help but redden. At the moment, her heart was in a mess, what Xu Guanghai told her was so surprising to her, she still couldn't believe it!

Jiang Wan took Pei Yulian back to her house and told her father and brother what she heard from Xu Guanghai. She knew very well that sooner or later this matter would spread throughout Yamashita Village, and she didn't know what kind of statement it would become when the time came, so it was better for her to tell her family the most correct truth now.

But...... Is that really the truth?

Jiang Wan remembered that after she helped Xu Chunying write the letter, Xu Chunying said that she wanted to be alone for a while, so she asked her to leave first, and when she went again, Xu Chunying had already sealed the envelope, a thick stack. She still remembered that Xu Chunying said that there were land deeds and house deeds in it, but now that she thinks about it, there should be a letter written by Xu Chunying later, which was the one that Pei You showed to Xu Guanghai.

Perhaps the truth described in the letter was too cruel, so Xu Chunying did not ask her to ghostwrite it at that time, but groped for it to finish it herself.

However, after receiving the shock of the message at first, Jiang Wan, who calmed down, only felt that this matter was strange no matter how she looked at it.

If Xu Chunying could have killed a pregnant woman who had just given birth, why wouldn't she tell the truth before she died? She could have had a son who would be an official, and her daughter could also become an official lady. After all, at that time, she had a very strong obsession with making Pei You an official in the imperial examination, and she would not care about the various benefits brought by it, even if it was just the reputation behind her. But she did this unbelievable thing and told the "truth" at such a critical moment...... Why is that?

Jiang Wan thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration popped up in her mind, and an idea that others would definitely be very surprised when they heard it.

She thought that the reason why Xu Chunying wrote such a letter was probably for Pei You's career! In ancient times, filial piety came first, and when an official's family died of his parents, he had to return to his hometown to guard filial piety for three years, to be precise, for a full twenty-seven months, even if he was a high-ranking official. The emperor can "win love" and prevent his powerful courtiers from returning to their hometowns to guard filial piety, but they will still be criticized by the literati, and they are very likely to be liquidated afterwards. And Pei You just became a tanhua, no one will let him take away his love, he must go back to his hometown to guard his filial piety, and when he returns after keeping his filial piety, the daylily will be cold.

But now, with this so-called truth, everything is different. Originally, Xu Chunying was Pei You's mother, and when she died, of course he had to keep filial piety for her. But now? Xu Chunying is not only not his mother, but also his mother-killing enemy, how can he keep filial piety for her? Not setting off firecrackers to celebrate is already a very kind person. In this way, Pei You can go to Beijing and officially start his career to meet Xu Chunying's expectations.

So the question now is, does Pei You know about this? Does he know that the so-called truth was made up by his mother, just to let him go on a career in office? Did he really believe his mother's words, or was he deceived by his mother?

Jiang Wan didn't know what kind of possibility she hoped for for a while. If Pei You really believed it, he must be extremely painful at this moment, raising him for more than 20 years, and his own mother, who had been filial for more than 20 years, turned out to be his mother-killing enemy, she couldn't imagine that he should be so desperate at this moment. And if Pei You figured out his mother's purpose...... Then it can only be said that after going to the capital for four months, Pei You has become a person she Jiang Wan doesn't recognize, and for the sake of his career, he can accept his mother's arrangement silently......

Jiang Wan really wanted to find Pei You to ask the truth, but now that he had left Shanxia Village and went to the capital, where did she go to ask? Moreover...... He had already told her that the road was back, and the bridge was back to the bridge, so why did she bother to go up and ask for her own hardship?

But Jiang Wan has always been a little unwilling, and now after thinking of this amazing truth, she is even more unwilling.

If Pei You believed the lies made up by his mother, why didn't he reveal anything to her? She couldn't even see anything out of the ordinary. Besides, since he believed that Xu Chunying was his mother-killing enemy, how could he still resent her because of her concealment?

What if Pei You acquiesced to his mother's arrangement...... Then it is indeed possible that he will fall in love with the glory and wealth of the capital, and he will not be willing to marry her, a village girl. However, his attitude when he finally said goodbye to her was not like that.
