Chapter Seven: The Absolute of Sikong Mingye

A cold smile lingered at the corner of her mouth, and all the answers were negative

Ah! They really know how to think.

Leng Ling said nothing, turning and disappearing into the night

Regaining her senses, Pei Qianqian hurriedly ran to open the door and dashed towards the front yard

The sunlight today is not too intense, casting a warm glow upon her. Pei Qianqian gazes at the distant white clouds, her heart filled with countless emotions

Does this count as finding joy in hardship

It has been proven that Leng Ling did not lie, and in fact, she accomplished even more than Pei Qianqian had imagined.

Pei Qianqian blinked, momentarily not understanding, "Already returned? What does that mean?"

The consequences of a woman not adhering to the virtues of a wife are unbearable for anyone; not only is her reputation ruined, but even if her family dotes on her, they will never forgive her

Perhaps she had approached the dying Pei Qianqian multiple times in the past and had secretly assisted her with certain matters. For instance, when Ye Minru and Pei Rongxin deliberately withheld food from her to make her starve, Pei Qianyun would secretly deliver food to her. However, she was unable to contend with those from the legitimate branch and could only maintain a clandestine relationship with her.

Ah

Leng Ling furrowed her brow and asked, "Are you here to cause trouble for you?"

Seeing her most compatible sister-in-law scold herself harshly, she shook her head in despair, reaching the utmost limit of hopelessness, "I have not... I have not..."

Bai Lingshan had long since cried her tears, her swollen eyes reflecting a look of utter despair, her noble demeanor completely vanished, and she knelt on the ground in a state of utter disarray

In the hall, Bai Lingshan's cries were heart-wrenching, sounding as if she were about to suffocate several times. If it weren't for Pei Yao's loud scolding, those who were unaware would have thought that a funeral was taking place inside.

Pei Qianqian got out of bed to open the door, pretending to be surprised and looking at her with the timid expression of her former self, "Sixth Sister, what brings you here?"

Just then, Leng Ling walked in with a blank expression and asked, "Miss Pei, has anyone come by?"

destroy her innocence

Pei Qianqian nodded, watching her disappear outside the door like a thief

The person is called Pei Qianyun, born to Concubine Xiao, the fourth wife of Pei Wen'an. However, she lives a much better life than her original self, as her mother is still in the residence, unlike the biological mother of this body, who not only came from a lowly background but is also no longer in this world

The concubines of Pei Wen'an, the concubine of Pei Jia's eldest son Pei Yao, as well as those illegitimate children, were gathered in groups of three or five, all whispering and glancing towards the hall.

Bai Lingshan is wronged, but it is also her retribution in this life

Father, Mother ... ... I truly have not wronged my husband ... ... You must stand up for me ... ... Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I would not dare ... ...

In the front yard, all the members of the Pei family, both big and small, have arrived, and the courtyard where Pei Wen'an resides is nearly filled to capacity

Although Pei Qianyun was uneasy, it was indeed not a place to linger, so she had no choice but to take her leave. Before departing, she did not forget to remind her once more, "Qianqian, remember my words, if you can leave, do your best to leave, okay?"

Sikong Mingye ... ? ... Has she underestimated him?

Sitting on a humble little bed, she constantly chewed on a light smile at the corners of her mouth, expressing disdain for those schemes and conspiracies, as well as mocking her own tumultuous fate

To understand why Sikong Mingye married her, it was precisely for her first night... If he were to find out that someone had destroyed what he desired before his wedding, one wonders if he would still be able to remain composed

Xin'er... you know your sister-in-law the best, please help her out and say that she would never engage in such shameless acts...

Sikong Mingye truly is a cunning individual; while others are merely scheming, he has already taken the initiative without a sound!

... ...

Pei Qianqian took a deep breath, striving to regulate the intense anger boiling within her. She could believe about eighty to ninety percent of what Pei Qianyun said, after all, she had helped the original body many times, and she could not think of a reason for Pei Qianyun to deceive her. She risked her safety to deliver the information; if she were discovered by Ye Wanru and Pei Rongxin, she would either die or be severely punished.

As the esteemed daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's residence, sharing a bed with a servant, how could one possibly miss such a spectacle

Little did they know, Pei Yao showed no sign of mercy, forcefully kicking her away and pointing towards the entrance of the hall with a growl that was almost predatory, "For the sake of your parents, the Pei family spares your life this once, now get out of the Pei family!"

Watching her leave, Pei Qianqian proudly lifted the corners of her lips

Ye Minru was filled with rage and immediately ordered, "Someone, take this shameless woman who does not uphold her duties as a wife back to the Bai residence!"

This sound

Immediately after, a light knock was heard at the door, accompanied by a whispering call, "Qianqian... Qianqian, please open the door..."

Pei Qianyun momentarily did not notice her sudden change, and reminded her, "Qianqian, listen to me, think of a way to secretly leave the Pei family. Even if you cannot go to the Nanying Wangfu before your marriage, it is best for you to find a safe place to hide for a while. If you wait until they take harsh measures against you before leaving, it will be too late"

In the past, this pair of sisters-in-law were the closest, as they were of similar age and got along even more intimately than biological sisters. However, at this moment, Pei Rongxin sat in her chair, her expression cold, watching the people on the ground pleading in all directions, her eyes filled with disdain

Pei Qianqian, if you were alive to witness this scene, you would surely feel comforted, wouldn't you? One of those who bullied you has already died. Your years of blood donation have not been in vain; that person has finally avenged you once.

Pei Wen'an gripped the armrest of the chair, his face pale with anger, his gaze filled with hatred, glaring at her as if she were an enemy

Pei Qianyun kept glancing towards the door, fearing that someone might suddenly burst in at that moment. She then anxiously looked at Pei Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, you should leave quickly, don't stay here any longer. I overheard my elder sister and sister-in-law talking in the garden this evening. They said that you injured our aunt and that they plan to deal with you during this time while you are back at the residence. They also said... they also said they want to ruin your reputation"

Pei Qianyun, upon hearing this, expressed her concern, saying, "Qianqian, you must not take this lightly. This matter of innocence is no trivial matter; it concerns your future happiness."

In their eyes, those born of lowly status are merely like a dog; they possess power and authority, doing as they please. However, little do they know that those who commit many wrongdoings will eventually face retribution

Bai Lingshan, you keep shouting that you are wronged, but is the person in your bed not real? You have been caught red-handed, and you still want to quibble? My parents trusted you so much, my brother cared for you so dearly, and I treated you so well. I never expected that you would privately engage in such disgraceful acts that tarnish the reputation of the Pei family. You are truly disappointing!

Bai Lingshan's voice, filled with grievance and pain, followed closely after.

As the door closed, she hurriedly asked, "Leng Ling, quickly tell me, what exactly did your prince instruct? Don't tell me this is a secret; after all, this matter concerns me as well, so I should at least be informed."

She was merely astonished by his methods, so ruthless and so decisive

Pei Qianqian could not help but wear a cold expression, "Destroy my innocence?"

Leng Ling lowered her eyes and said, "The maidservant knocked out the male servant from Bai Lingshan's courtyard and sent him to her bed."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lingshan's tear-filled eyes were filled with fear as she hurriedly crawled in front of Pei Yao and clung to his thigh, "Husband, I am wronged. I have not done anything to betray you. I beg you all to believe me..."

She turned around to look at the closed door and said softly, "Sixth Sister, thank you for the reminder, I understand. However, when the Southern Victory King sent me back, he also dispatched Leng Ling to follow me. With her here, I believe I will be safe."

Pei Qianqian flopped onto the bed and casually said, "Leng Ling, go ask your prince what he has to say."

Watching her prepare to wash her hands and cook, Pei Qianqian raised an eyebrow and asked, "What instructions does your prince have? Do you need my cooperation?"

The speed of this retaliation is too fast

Pei Qianyun can be considered the first person from the Pei family willing to approach her original self

She lowered her gaze to look at her own body, which was as thin as a stick, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With her underdeveloped figure, it was surprising that Sikong Mingye still desired her; she truly wondered how he would approach their wedding night. It wasn't that she was mocking Sikong Mingye's taste, but rather that her body was not appealing at all—her chest was like a small steamed bun, her bottom had hardly any flesh, and when she touched her pale, emaciated face... Would Sikong Mingye cover his eyes if he wanted to do that with her? It wasn't that she was mocking Sikong Mingye's taste, but rather that her body was not appealing at all—her chest was like a small steamed bun, her bottom had hardly any flesh, and when she touched her pale, emaciated face... Would Sikong Mingye cover his eyes if he wanted to do that with her?

Leng Ling's expression instantly darkened, and even her voice became cold and hard, "Is this true?"

Pei Qianqian looked at her expressionlessly, as if to say... Did she think she wanted to come back? It was not like she was chased back by that cold ghost, Sikong Mingye.

On the first night staying at the Pei residence, Pei Qianqian experienced some insomnia. Just as she was tossing and turning, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door

"Vile woman, go die! My Pei family cannot tolerate a woman like you who lacks virtue!"

Is it pitiful? Does it evoke sympathy?

She had a look that said, "I won't give up until you speak," and Leng Ling stared at her expressionlessly for a moment before saying, "It has already been returned."

Leng Ling left for the entire night and only appeared in Pei Qianqian's kitchen the next day, just before noon

You shameless wretch, how can you be so devoid of honor? I must truly be blind! You, an unfaithful woman, have tarnished the reputation of the Pei family and left me unable to hold my head high. Do you still have the face to cry?

Pei Qianyun immediately closed the door and, gripping her slender wrist tightly, said nervously, "Qianqian, didn't you go to the South Win King's residence? Why have you returned?"

She repeatedly uttered the word 'no', suddenly got up from the ground, and rushed towards a nearby beam.

Pei Qianqian held her hand, a gentle smile gracing her delicate face, "Sixth Sister, I know what to do, you can rest assured. It is getting late, you should head back early, and be sure not to let anyone find out."

Husband, I am wronged... I truly do not know how Fu An ended up in my bed... Husband, you must believe me...

At this moment, upon seeing Pei Qianyun, she harbored no hostility towards her, relying on the memories of her original self. This small courtyard of hers was a place that most people would not dare to approach; if discovered by Ye Minru and Pei Rongxin, the consequences could range from a reprimand to a beating. Pei Qianyun sneaking over in the middle of the night was tantamount to taking a risk

Pei Qianqian smiled and said, "Hmm"

She knew that Sikong Mingye would not stand idly by, for he had said that on the day of their grand wedding, her blood would be the moment he would completely detoxify. For over ten years, he had relied on her blood, which was immune to all poisons, as a medicinal catalyst. Now that she had turned fifteen, although she did not know how severe his strange illness truly was, he had waited in anguish for many years, and with the wedding day approaching, how could he allow anyone to disrupt it

Upon hearing this, Pei Qianqian was left speechless, "Ah?"

Seeing that she was only focused on her work and unwilling to say more, Pei Qianqian quickly went over to take away the large cabbage she was about to wash, grabbing her wrist and leading her towards the sleeping quarters

At this moment, everyone's attention was solely focused on the hall, and very few people paid any attention to the arrival of Pei Qianqian

From the moment she struck Ye Minru, she knew that she would eventually sever ties with the Pei family, and that the Pei family would never accept her again. However, she did not expect that Pei Rongxin and Bai Lingshan, this pair of sisters-in-law, could devise such despicable means.

Since she married into the Pei family, relying on her status as the eldest daughter-in-law, she appears to have both a prestigious background and beauty, yet privately, she is more venomous than anyone else. Whenever she feels the slightest displeasure, she takes it out on the deceased Pei Qianqian, finding amusement in humiliating and tormenting her.

It is unknown who first let out a scream; at this moment, Pei Qianqian had already turned around and was walking towards her small courtyard.

The prince said, "Return the favor in kind."

Bai Lingshan was kicked over by him, and she had no energy to care about the pain. Her tear-streaked face was pale and weak, and her eyes, filled with despair, looked at the crowd in the hall, "No... no... no... no..."

Pei Qianqian shook her head, "No, I am just here to inform you. I heard that my elder sister Pei Rongxin and my sister-in-law Bai Lingshan want to deal with me and are even planning to find someone to ruin my reputation"

Pei Qianqian still maintained a humble demeanor, cautiously asking, "Sixth Sister, what has happened?"

It is rare for Pei Qianqian to still indulge in some unhealthy thoughts at this time, and she herself admires her ability to do so

How to repay the loan

Pei Qianyun held onto her hand tightly, continuing to speak anxiously, "Qianqian, I advise you to find a way to leave, don't come back here, it is very unfavorable for you!"

Look at her words; if Sikong Mingye were present, he could probably strangle her with one hand. How many women can remain calm and indifferent in the face of such danger?

One might ask, would it be a pity if such a person were to die

She asked Leng Ling to return to the Wang residence in Nanying, but it was merely to seek his assistance in finding a solution. After all, this information was heard from others, and regardless of whether the situation would occur, it is essential to have some precautions in place. ... Who would have thought that the guy would straightforwardly let Leng Ling take the initiative first ...
