I'm afraid you'll be widowed

The wind outside the door blows the open yard, making the dead leaves rustle.

There was a light in the bedroom, but it was not very bright.

However, there was light in Pei Gong's eyes, shining brightly.

Pei Xuan looked at his younger brother and sighed with all his limited strength: "Jian Rang, why don't you always be an ordinary person?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to marry a wife and have children, and live a peaceful life?"

Pei Gong stood beside the bed expressionlessly: "Because I am from the Pei family, I can't just watch all this."

The father and brother in the family are loyal to the monarch and the country, and they all work hard to achieve the humerus of the court. In the end, what do they get in exchange?

The father was unemployed, the eldest brother was in vain, and even the second brother was seriously injured and criticized by others, all of which were embarrassing fates.

Pei Gong frowned deeply: "Is it the inner guard?"

"Obviously I provoked them. If you want to settle accounts and claim your life, let them come to me. Why do you want to take revenge on Second Brother?"

Pei Xuan's depression was hard to get rid of: "The matter of your second brother is indeed strange, but it is definitely not as simple as you think."

"When the thief of the Xuanfu guards fled into the capital with something in his hand, the cause of this incident had already been planted, and the inner guards were definitely not the only ones involved."

"Brother, is it my blessing that everything is kept secret?" Pei Gong said angrily, "What kind of person must be, to be so numb as to watch you suffer and have trouble?"

"Jian Rang, you are too young and too stubborn. If you think things are so simple, you must suffer a lot."

It took a lot of effort for Pei Xuan to speak, he held Gu's hand and took a few breaths: "Don't talk about it, I will make up my own mind about your second brother."

"You have made great achievements in the investigation this time, and your position should be promoted as appropriate. You stay in Jinyiwei and don't care about other things. At least now that your elder brother and I are still alive, it is not your turn to take care of it."

Pei Gong didn't agree, he raised his foot and was about to turn around: "I'm going to the Xuan Mansion, and I'll find the second brother to find out the matter."

"I don't believe that the second brother will give up the lives of [-] troops."

Pei Xuan became more and more out of breath, with blue veins showing: "Jianrang, Pei Jianrang, come back!"

"you……"

Pei Xuan hadn't spoken yet, he was so out of breath that a mouthful of blood gushed out without warning.

Gu rushed forward and wiped the corners of Pei Xuan's mouth while crying: "Da Lang, don't say any more, don't say any more."

Pei Gong who was about to leave the mansion impulsively, suddenly froze completely.

He was at a loss, and there was only a blank in his mind.

The blood was red and looked dazzling.

Pei Gong was not afraid of blood, and he didn't even blink when he slaughtered dozens of wolves in Xianghai.

But now he was suddenly afraid.

It was his elder brother's blood, even a single drop was enough to make his heart wring, and he could feel the pain.

Pei Gong didn't realize it until now, probably because he was ignorant again.

For the first time, he felt that he was like an unnecessary burden in front of his elder brother, and even standing in front of his bed was like an obstacle occupying space.

"Brother..." Pei Gong opened his mouth, but felt his lips were trembling, and couldn't make a sound.

His eyes slowly lost focus.

He was only six years old when his father was wronged.

Jin Yiwei rushed into the mansion in a rampage, searched and searched, viciously, and even trampled to death the little yellow cat kept by the concierge.

His father was in prison, his mother had just given birth to his younger sister, and the elder brother Pei Xuan came forward to take charge when he was only 17 years old, while the second elder brother Pei Ying stood behind him and his younger sisters to protect him.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. After the incident, although my father did not die, he was completely unemployed and was never reused again.

Later, when he fell from a horse and had an accident, the person who fell lame and could no longer fight in all directions was the elder brother.

Until now...

Pei Gong only felt that there seemed to be a wild bull in his head, rampaging without any scruples.

It hurt him suddenly.

He didn't want to follow the same old path as his father and brother, and he didn't want to go forward and ruin his future one by one. In the end, he became an idler who talked about panic and sighed.

But he didn't want to see his brother in the slightest.

Pei Gong didn't know how long he had stood like a clay puppet before he finally said in a soft voice: "Brother, I'll listen to you."

It was clearly a happy event for uncovering a major corruption case and returning to Beijing for meritorious service, but at this moment, Pei Gong felt as if he had lost everything.

For the first time in history, the third child of the Pei family bowed his head obediently and obediently in front of Pei Xuan's bed.

He was downcast like a defeated rooster.

"I will stay in the capital and stay in Jinyiwei on business."

"I have lived an ordinary idle life, and I will never interfere with my second brother's affairs again."

"Brother, I... will listen to you."

--------

The emperor's mind is unpredictable, and it is not uncommon for him to dismiss the prince and search his home in a fit of anger.

Today's Liang Guogong's mansion is undoubtedly the most talked about after dinner.

In just a few days, Duke Liang's mansion suddenly became more depressed than before.

Although Pei Gong followed Pei Xuan's wishes and stayed in Liang Guogong's mansion safely and continued to be a "trash", but after all, he was only willing to compromise, and he was depressed all day long, full of decadence.

He no longer went out to wander around like before, but just stood there in the courtyard in a daze from time to time, standing for more than half an hour.

Pei Gong felt that he had lost something, and felt that the world had become extremely strange all of a sudden.

I don't know when Chaos arrived, but the old steward of Liang Guogong's mansion came to him: "Third Master, there is someone from the gatehouse, saying that he wants to see you."

"Looking for me?" Pei Gong slowly asked in doubt.

"That's right." The old housekeeper was respectful, "I didn't even know him, so I left him behind."

Today is different from the past, the old cronies are now avoiding as much as they can, who would make a special trip to find him in Liang Guogong's mansion?

Pei Gong was also a little puzzled, and followed the old housekeeper to the door.

Along the corridor extending along the edge of the pond, there is a small house next to the concierge of the Duke's Mansion.

It was only when Pei Gong got closer that he saw that the person sitting inside was a five or six year old girl.

The little girl was wearing a double bun, her clothes were washed white, but she was simple and clean, she was eating the snacks given by the old housekeeper obediently with her head down.

Because she is not tall, she can't step on the ground when sitting on the armchair, so she can only swing her legs leisurely.

Pei Gong stared intently for several times, but still couldn't find such a person from his memory.

Only then did the old housekeeper approach kindly: "Little girl, the third master you are looking for is here."

The little girl raised her head upon hearing the sound, and looked at Pei Gong in a daze: "You? Are you the third master?"

She smiled innocently: "You are so young, why don't you have a beard or white hair? Why are you called Sanye?"

The old housekeeper hurriedly stopped Tong Yanwuji: "Little girl, stop talking nonsense."

"Why did you come to our third master?"

Hearing this, the little girl jumped down from the chair, picked up a gray fox cloak as if it were a treasure, and carefully put it into the hands of the old housekeeper of Duke Liang's mansion.

"I'm here to return something. This cloak is beautiful."

"My mother confessed that this is the third master's cloak."

The cloak was neatly folded, and the fox fur was gray and fluffy.

Pei Gong stared, and immediately recognized that it was thrown to Fang Cenxi in Xianghai to keep out the cold.

The little girl raised her head and whispered softly: "My mother asked me to come to Liang Guogong's mansion. She took care of all the cloaks before."

"My mother told me in the morning that it was right to find the third master of the Pei family."

Pei Gong looked at the little guy in front of him, and felt a twitch in the corner of his eyes.

He hastily asked: "Your mother? How did your mother take care of this clothes?"

The little girl nodded: "Of course it's my mother. My mother has always taken care of these things. My mother is the best at doing this."

"Mother has always been the best at keeping clothes clean and flat."

She smiled at Pei Gong again: "The third master has received the things, then I will go home."

Pei Gong was twiddling the fox fur and was suddenly lost in thought. This fox fur was thick and oily, and it was a gray fox hunted by the second brother.

Now that he doesn't know how his second elder brother is doing, he can't rush out of Beijing to visit. He can only look at the blue sky and pray for recovery from a distance.

"Third Master, Third Master?" The old butler called out Pei Gong again, "The envelope that was pressed in the cloak fell out."

Only then did Pei Gong come to his senses, and when he opened the letter, it was indeed a few greetings from Fang Cenxi, and polite words to return the cloak.

Pei Gong frowned.

How could the cloak he lent to Fang Cenxi be refurbished by a woman now?And how could he be sent back by a half-grown little girl?

If it wasn't for Fang Cenxi's wife and daughter, it would be difficult to explain this matter.

Pei Gong subconsciously looked at the little girl walking away.

For some reason, the moment he learned that Fang Cenxi had a wife and daughter, he suddenly felt a little bit more disappointed.

Pei Gongxin handed over the cloak to the housekeeper, and went back to the yard with a sullen face.

These days are indeed too gloomy and depressing.

After thinking about it, he found that only the time left to investigate the case in Xianghai was like a bright spot, the last bit of joy in this boring life.

It was not easy for him to find someone who could speak well, and who could barely be regarded as good-looking, and was willing to send a letter to greet Liang Guogong's mansion when everyone was avoiding it.Although this person is often hated to the point of itch, why did he marry young?

Maybe my brother is right.

In this world, only he, Pei Gong, is still wandering around all day long, unwilling to have a stable family, and is out of tune in Beijing.

Pei Gong's mind was full of thoughts, and it was a mess for a while.

Until nightfall, he still looked out of his mind.

I can't tell if it's because of family affairs or something else.

Pei Gong just felt unhappy.

He was very unhappy.

After tossing and turning for half a night, he finally got up, propped himself by the window, looked at the bright Big Dipper in the night sky, and let out a long sigh.

He inexplicably felt that he had been let down by others, but he couldn't tell where he was let down.

What can Fang Cenxi blame now?

Blame him for having a wife and daughter but not telling himself?

This is a bit too strong and unreasonable.

In the dark night, Pei Gong laughed at himself.

He also thought, if he was a daughter, he would call Fang Cenxi a heartbreaker anyway.

There is no need to find any high-sounding and unreasonable reasons like now.

As long as he wants to scold, he can scold.

You must scold him ten times to relieve your anger.
