Chapter 98: Sleepless Night

As the night gradually deepened, the noisy Ji Mansion fell into silence, only the courtyard where Ji Xiwu lived was still brightly lit.From time to time, screams and cries came from the room, and the passers-by were so frightened that they couldn't help but look around curiously.

At the same time, in the Pei family far away in the west of the city, there were also people who could not sleep all night.

"Mother, you called us over so late, what's the matter?"

The moonlight was not bright outside the window, and only the light of candles flickered in the room.Pei Yaoyun, Pei Muyan, and Pei Yaoyuan stood in front of Mrs. Pei's bed.Now that the situation is critical, they were summoned in the middle of the night, and they all realized that they might have something important to say.

Mrs. Pei looked at the three of them solemnly, and remained silent for a long time without saying a word.After a while, his eyes fell on Pei Muyan, and Fang called softly, "Yan'er."

"The smoke is here."

"Tomorrow you go back to the Shen Mansion first."

Hearing this, Pei Muyan was startled: "Mother!"

"Be obedient, you have stayed long enough." Mrs. Pei said lightly, "What happened to the Pei family now, I can't guarantee whether I can get through this crisis safely. Since you have married into the Shen family, you can There is an extra layer of protection. When things get serious, with the Shen family's financial resources, although they can't help us, they can still save you from catastrophe."

"But, mother..." Pei Muyan bit her lips unwillingly, "How can Yan'er ignore the Pei family at this time and only care about her own safety?"

"Confused." Mrs. Pei looked at Pei Muyan majesticly, "Now you have a son under your knees, and you are a mother, so you should think carefully. Don't think I don't know, the Shen family has sent people to urge you to go back several times, right? "

Pei Muyan knew that she couldn't hide anything from her mother, so she lowered her head and said nothing, which was her acquiescence.

"In the current situation, you can't help much for the time being. It's better to go back to the Shen family and wait for the opportunity. Besides, you know the situation of the Shen family. Although Master Shen has three sons, the eldest son is weak and incompetent, and the youngest son is young. I am afraid that the Shen family will eventually fall into the hands of your husband-in-law Shen Xin. Shen Xin is somewhat capable and listens to your words. This is the reason why your father and I agreed to marry the Shen family. In this way, even if the Pei family It's down, the more secure your position in the Shen family is, the more secure the Pei family will be. Do you understand what I said, Yan'er?"

Knowing that Mother must have her own ideas, Pei Muyan bit her lip, and although she was unwilling, she still responded, "Mother taught me the lesson."

"I'll pack my luggage when I get back, and I'll go back to Shen's house tomorrow morning." After giving these instructions, Mrs. Pei said in a serious tone, "The next thing I want to say is about the last survival of the Pei family. Don't let any outsiders know. Listen Reached?"

The three people's expressions were shocked, and they responded one after another.

"The Pei family's rouge accident, we all guessed in our hearts that someone must have framed it, but we haven't been able to get any clues after investigating for so long, and we haven't been able to find out who poisoned it. Everyone seems to be so innocent. "

Hearing this, Pei Yaoyun's face darkened: "Xu'er is incompetent, there is no way to find out who is behind the scenes."

"I don't blame you," Mrs. Pei shook her head, pursed her lips, and said sternly, "but recently, I got a ridiculous news. Although it is ridiculous, I even don't want to accept this answer from the bottom of my heart, but I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't help it. If you don't admit it, this possibility is not impossible." Mrs. Pei's eyes swept over the three of them slowly, "The person who poisoned them may not be those outsiders, but members of my Pei family. What's more, they may not be alive people, but people who are dead.”

"what?"

The three looked at Mrs. Pei in surprise, as if they couldn't understand what she said.

In the dimly lit room, there was a long silence.

"You mean..." Pei Yaoyun's lips moved, a thought flashed through his mind, he looked at Mrs. Pei in disbelief, but he couldn't say the familiar name.

Mrs. Pei looked at the expressions of the three people, knowing that they had guessed it, she nodded: "That's right, I'm talking about Xu'er."

"How come..." Pei Yaoyuan uttered his voice for the first time, and murmured, "How could it be the fourth brother?"

The expression in Mrs. Pei's eyes shook violently, but her tone of voice was calm: "You should know that since that person died, Xu'er may have hated me, or even the whole Pei family, from the bottom of his heart."

"But this matter has been in the past for a long time, and the fourth brother..." Pei Muyan's words were astringent, that matter was almost kept secret in the Pei family, and now that it was brought up, all the dust was wiped away.She remembered the desperate eyes of the fourth brother on the hospital bed a long time ago, and suddenly lowered her voice, "The fourth brother seems to have let go of it."

Mrs. Pei's eyes suddenly fell on the empty space, and her originally quiet voice became a little erratic: "You said it too, it just looks

Just come.Xu'er has the strongest temper among you, and once cornered, she will act the most ruthlessly.Maybe a long time ago, at a certain moment, he decided to take the whole Pei family to be buried with that person. "

Everyone didn't know how to respond for a moment, and they were in complicated moods.

Soon, Mrs. Pei's expression regained her composure: "This time I called you here for this matter. If Xu'er was the only one doing it, my Pei family would be in complete trouble. But fortunately, it wasn't." After a pause, her gaze turned sharp, "Those involved in this matter may also be the Ji family who wants to put Pei's family to death."

The last two words, every word is like a knife, shocked the three of them again.

"Ji's house?" Pei Yaoyuan who came back from Ji's house was shocked.

Pei Yaoyun at the side quickly realized: "Speaking of which, the Ji family's attempt to expand their business these past few years has indeed had many conflicts of interest with my Pei family. If this is the case, Ji Shinan is too vicious."

"Remember Ji Xiwu?"

After being reminded by Mrs. Pei, the three of them were enlightened and suddenly remembered this matter.

"Speaking of which, Ji Xiwu still died near Pei's house, maybe..." Pei Yaoyun's face turned pale.

Mrs. Pei nodded: "If the Ji family is really related to this matter, then Ji Xiwu's death may not be so simple. Now that the theory of drunkenness and drowning can stand up to scrutiny, it is really doubtful. The Ji family is very powerful in Suzhou, but the case was hastily closed by the government. Why didn’t Ji Shinan get to the bottom of his daughter’s death? I thought it might be due to internal turmoil in the Ji family, and he didn’t want to get too involved with other children. But if there are any What is the more ulterior reason?"

"What mother means is that Ji Shinan is still afraid that the investigation of Ji Xiwu's death will lead to something that framed my Pei family?" Pei Yaoyun was thoughtful, and then he was puzzled, "How could Ji Shinan send such a big thing?" Where is Ji Xiwu coming?"

Mrs. Pei's eyes were deep: "Don't underestimate Ji Xiwu. Although I have only met a few times, I dare not say anything else. This person has a calm mind, but he is by no means comparable to you. And the last time about the Lin family's fleet, can you still return?" Remember?"

"Of course I remember. Ji Xiwu didn't know what kind of tricks he used to make that kid Lynch defect so quickly regardless of the friendship between the two families. It's really abominable." When mentioning this matter, Pei Yaoyun was furious.

Not far away, Pei Yaoyuan's expression changed slightly, remembering that he had mentioned this matter to Ye Jieman before.Thinking about it now, this Ji Xiwu is truly unfathomable.

"If it's really the Ji family who framed us, what is Mother going to do?" Pei Yaoyuan asked in a low voice, "After all, neither the fourth brother nor Ji Xiwu is alive, and both of them are thoughtful, so it may be difficult to find out. Now our time Not much, father is still suffering in prison, time is really tight."

Madam Pei smiled coldly: "I heard that the third miss of the Ji family who has been missing for many years has returned."

Although a few people have been so busy recently that they haven't paid much attention to this matter, they have heard about it to some extent.

"I went to inquire about it, and I heard that they also came here for Ji Xiwu's death, and there was a big disturbance in the cemetery." Mrs. Pei lowered her eyes, "In this case, we might as well add some excitement to Ji's family. Ji Shinan thought To calm things down, we must not only keep Ji Xiwu from dying, but also uproot this matter and muddy the water, so that they can show themselves a little bit." Then, she raised her head and looked at Pei Yaoyuan with cold eyes Lie, "Yuan'er, tomorrow you will be responsible for sending out some rumors. Didn't it be rumored that the Ji family is haunted? Then let it continue, the more bizarre the better."

"Yuaner knows."

"Yun'er, you will accompany me to visit Pan Mansion in person tomorrow," Mrs. Pei sighed, "It's also time for me to visit in person."

"Yes, mother."

……

It was already half an hour after the three of them left the room.

Pei Muyan stopped suddenly, a question came to her heart, and she quickly called the other two: "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Pei Yaoyun looked back at her.

"That's not right," Pei Muyan blinked puzzledly, "Mother just said that someone else told her the news. But these days, Mother has never left the house, so who told her?"

"Squeak-"

The door slammed softly, and a slim figure stepped in, bent over: "Ma'am, it's time to rest."

Mrs. Pei turned her head to look at the person coming, her eyes softened: "Didn't I tell you to go to bed first, why are you still here?"

"Shu'er is worried about Madam." While speaking, Shu'er picked up the candle light, and her delicate face was reflected in the soft candlelight.She stepped forward, helped Mrs. Pei tuck the quilt, and said, "When Shu'er is not around, Madam lost weight again."

Mrs. Pei patted Shu'er's arm and asked: "Shu'er, you have been with Young Madam these days, how credible do you think what she said to me before?"

Hearing this, Shu'er straightened up, with a flash of thought in his eyes, he thought: "Shu'er has learned a bit of eyesight by following Madam, but Shu'er is becoming more and more incomprehensible to young Madam's actions. , She gave Shu Er the feeling that it couldn't be more simple, like a clear pool of water, which can be seen at a glance. However, during this period of time in the Ji Mansion, she seemed to have a lot of ulterior motives." Suddenly After a pause, "But Shu'er privately thinks that the young lady is kind-hearted. Although she doesn't know what's going on, what she said to the lady before should be to help the Pei family."

Mrs. Pei nodded: "I think so too. When she talked to me that day, she seemed to avoid something on purpose, and she just picked up simple words. And I always feel that she should know more. If you If there is a chance, I will explore more." After speaking, Mrs. Pei took Shu'er's hand, let her sit down, and said, "Did you find anything unusual when you went to Ji's Mansion this time?"

Shu'er looked at Mrs. Pei, her eyes wavered a little, but she hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you have."

"Ma'am...do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" Shu Er bit her lip, doubts appearing on her face.

Mrs. Pei looked at Shu'er in surprise, as if she couldn't believe that the words came from the other party's mouth.But after pondering, he said, "Did you encounter any strange things?"

"Shu'er is not sure, but when the Ji Mansion was haunted, there were indeed many things that I couldn't figure out, including some of the young lady's situation." Shu'er also felt a little ridiculous after speaking, and smiled, "Maybe it's been That girl An'er kept talking to her ears all day long, and she was so infected that she started to think wildly."

Mrs. Pei thought for a moment, and said: "Even if it is fake, it can be made real."

"Ma'am, what do you mean?"

"When it's dawn, you ask An'er to go to Yuan'er's place, and tell the third young master about the speculation, it doesn't matter how absurd it is." Mrs. Pei's eyes fell outside the window, "This kind of interesting thing, the last It's attractive."
