Thinking of this, he no longer had a good impression of the girl outside.

"How can the mistress' orders change overnight? Since the concubine has made a mistake, she should be allowed to stay in the temple to practice and repent."

"You must not lose the big picture for the sake of the small. If you cause a conflict with Cihang Temple because of that concubine, if you delay the treatment of Jin'er, it will be something that a mere concubine cannot afford!"

The Jingnan Earl and his wife quickly agreed.

Zhang Jinghong then smiled and said:

"I haven't told Brother Jin the good news yet. I'll go see him."

The Marquis of Jingnan and his wife naturally accompanied him.

As the three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw that the situation had changed again.

A young man wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown, who looked about eight or nine years old, walked over with an angry look on his face and grabbed the thin little girl on the ground.

"You're going crazy again. You turned a deaf ear to your father and mother's orders!"

The delicate little girl tried hard to struggle out of his hand, but failed. She could only struggle while saying angrily:

"Let me go! It's your business if you don't want to plead for your aunt. I won't force you, and don't interfere with me!"

"It's so unbecoming to pull and pull!"

Pei Xiao frowned and reprimanded.

Pei Xuan quickly let go and greeted the three people politely.

"Father!"

"Mother!"

"uncle!"

Then he looked at Pei Xiao and Zhang with admiration and defended himself:

"Father and mother, I was just trying to persuade my sister not to be unreasonable. I didn't mean to be rude!"

These days, Pei Xuan has been very grateful that he was rejected by Cihang Temple and sent back to Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

Otherwise, he would probably be abandoned in Nandu by the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion like his useless biological mother.

Now, the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion is about to return to Beijing, and he is about to resume his former rich and free life.

The only worry was that this so-called sister, who was born in the same womb as him, was always clamoring to bring her biological mother back.

This will easily cause him to be hated by his parents, okay?

Especially my mother.

He didn't know before that his mother had a sister who was a favorite concubine in the palace and was very powerful.

After learning this, he became even more determined to be recorded as a legitimate son.

He had to let his mother know that he was only devoted to honoring her and didn't care at all about the woman who had only given birth to him.

Therefore, every time Rong Niang came to make trouble, he would scold her.

Rong Niang didn't care what her biological brother was thinking, nor did she have time to pay attention to those empty formalities.

Seeing her father's sharp eyes on her, she was afraid that she would be dragged back again, so she quickly suppressed her fear and said loudly:

"Father! If you don't want to take my aunt back, I won't force you! Now I just ask you to send me to that temple. I am willing to practice with my aunt!"

She had suffered repeated setbacks in recent days and had realized that there was no way her father would bring her aunt back to Beijing.

Seeing that her stepmother was so favored, she did not dare to defend herself, and said that her aunt was sent to the temple to practice Buddhism just because she had a headache and was negligent in serving her.

Now, the only thing she wants is to be with her aunt.

Even if it means leaving the Earl's house and living a hard life outside, I would not hesitate.

Before Pei Xiao could say anything, Pei Xuan became anxious.

"Father, as the daughter of an uncle, whose parents are still alive, how could she live in a temple or a Taoist temple? If this gets out, people will criticize the uncle's family!"

Not that he cared much about this brainless little girl who only caused him trouble.

Rather, he is closest to this sister in terms of blood relationship, and this sister is obviously a beauty. If she grows up and marries into a wealthy family, she will definitely be a help to him.

If we allow her to go to a Taoist temple, and if she loses her reputation or impairs her looks, her future value will be greatly reduced.

Pei Xiao obviously agreed with Pei Xuan's words. He gave him an approving look and scolded Rong Niang:

"Didn't you hear what your second brother said? Go back to your own yard!"

As he said this, he impatiently ordered the maidservants beside him, "What are you standing there for? Drag her back and tell the people in her room. If she runs out again, each of you will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!"

Rong Niang cried and struggled and was taken back to her own residence.

Zhang Jinghong and the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife continued to visit Pei Jin.

When Pei Jin heard the good news from Zhang Jinghong, he couldn't believe it at first, and then he was ecstatic.

He finally stopped feeling lifeless and began to look forward to going to Cihang Temple for treatment.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Jinghong also felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the departure date was not far away, he no longer cared about whether he could remain calm or not, and directly sent someone to urge Master Qiao.
