Power ministers always make things difficult for me

After Pei Qi entered the main hall, he felt several burning eyes falling on him.

She learned through Yun Lian that many people from the Pei family came this time. In addition to Pei Yunjiang, there were also her second brother Pei Liang, third sister Pei Nian, and the second wife Dong who was helped to become a wife after her mother passed away. Yu.

It can be regarded as dragging the family with them.

Pei Yunjiang was still pretending to be a father, sitting on the soft chair at the far end of the front hall, but after seeing Jiang Mingcang, he moved his buttocks to the ground.

He greeted Dong Yu and others, and bowed respectfully in front of Jiang Mingcang: "Pei Yunjiang, a common man, has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Then, he put his hand in front of Dong Yu beside him and introduced Jiang Mingcang one by one: "This is my wife Dong, my second son Pei Liang, and my third daughter Pei Nian. I don't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is here, but he is not welcomed from afar. I also hope that Your Highness Haihan will do the same."

Although Pei Yunjiang was removed from his official position by Rong Qin and became a commoner because of Pei Qi's imprisonment, he had always been well informed about the news in the palace.

Naturally, he knew that Jiang Mingcang was going to be the emperor, so he was willing to fawn over him.

How could Pei Qi not know Pei Yunjiang's little plan? It's just that she was too lazy to say anything more, so she ignored everyone and took a seat inside.

Jiang Mingcang is her student, so he will treat Pei Yunjiang a little less favorably.

But whether Pei Yunjiang can grasp it well depends on whether he has the ability.

Compared with Pei Qi's indifference, Jiang Mingcang was calm and polite, and smiled politely: "I just accompanied the teacher back home for a visit today. I have never mentioned this trip to anyone, so Mr. Pei does not need to see anyone outside. "

"Wow, second brother, is this His Highness the Crown Prince? He is as gentle and handsome as the rumors say!" While Jiang Mingcang was talking to Pei Yunjiang, Pei Nian nervously grabbed Pei Liang's sleeves and stood behind him and watched quietly. Jiang Mingcang still had a suspicious blush on his fair and tender face.

The Pei family has always paid attention to family rules and family training. Pei Nian is an inexperienced little girl who has never seen any men, and the prince is outstanding in appearance and gentle to others. It is normal for the little girl to be full of love.

But... for a person like the prince who will be the crown prince in the future, if Pei Nian likes him, he will inevitably suffer a lot in the future.

How could Jiang Mingcang not hear Pei Nian's whisper, but he pretended not to know, walked towards Pei Qi, and sat next to her.

"Teacher, the tea is on the table to your left, be careful it's hot to your hands."

"It's okay." Pei Qi was not in the mood to drink tea, but faced Pei Yunjiang: "Master Pei, I wonder why you are here today to find your master?"

She omitted the title "Dad", making Pei Yunjiang feel familiar yet unfamiliar.

While Pei Yunjiang was stunned, Dong Yu on the side couldn't sit still: "Master Pei, this is your father!"

When Pei Liang saw this, he said not to be outdone: "Yes, brother, I heard that you went to court yesterday and came over to see you early this morning. Why are you... why are you turning your back on me?" "

Listening to them singing in harmony, Pei Qi felt noisy and frowned unconsciously: "If my master remembers correctly, the Pei family has always been a wealthy family known for etiquette in the imperial capital. Why is it that today they are uncharacteristically showing off their faces when they open their mouths?" Evil words and evil words?"

"Also, our master's surname is indeed Pei, but not long ago, Mr. Pei personally announced that he had severed the father-son relationship with his disloyal and unfilial and rebellious minister, so how could he turn his back on him? "

"The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is not a place for you to act arbitrarily. If this happens again, don't blame the Imperial Preceptor for seeing off guests."

Jiang Mingcang watched the show silently from the side, with a little interest in his eyes.

I was used to seeing Pei Qi's talkative side in the past, and I had also seen her get angry with Rong Qin in court, but this was the first time she was angry with her own father.Unexpectedly, the teacher, who is usually gentle and gentle, got angry and was not in vain.

"You!" Dong Yu pointed at her, something stuck in his throat, and he didn't mean to say it or not to say it.

Pei Qi had always been submissive when he was in the Pei family. Even after he became the national master, he was still respectful to Pei Yunjiang and her. How could he be so arrogant now?

This white-eyed wolf is really a waste of money!

"Okay!" Pei Yunjiang glared at Dong Yu angrily and pulled her behind him. Knowing what he had done, Pei Qi would inevitably feel angry, so his tone softened: "Qi'er, I know it's my fault to sever ties with you. It's wrong, but the reason why you were arrested and imprisoned was the crime of regicide! What do you want dad to do? If dad doesn't do that, the Pei family will be completely ruined!"

"As a national teacher, you don't know what the consequences will be if you are convicted of regicide. If you were sitting in my father's position, you would do the same thing!"

Pei Yunjiang's words were spoken with emotion, and his helpless actions were very real.

It's rare that he doesn't talk about being a "mother" like Dong Yu.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Mingcang was present.

"Oh, it turns out it was to protect the Pei family. Well, Mr. Pei did the right thing." Pei Qi nodded several times in succession.

But just when Pei Yunjiang breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the matter was over, he suddenly heard Pei Qi's sneer again.

"Since Mr. Pei has enough reasons to send away his master, we might as well talk about something else." Pei Qi picked up the tea cup and tried to sound as gentle as possible: "I don't know, Mr. Pei, sorry. What do you think about heaven’s affairs?”

"In retrospect, our master searched almost all over the imperial capital to find the person who poisoned us, but he only ignored your Pei family. Mr. Pei, do you think this poison... could have been poisoned by the Pei family? "

"Or did you do it yourself?"

Pei Yunjiang's heart, which had finally calmed down, suddenly became anxious again.

The slowly raised corners of his mouth also froze at this moment.

"Brother, what are you talking about? How could dad poison you?" Pei Liang felt incredible about what Pei Qi said: "You can't blame dad for everything because he broke off the relationship with you. ?”

"Besides, you know how rare it is to not see the sky. It's impossible for dad to have that kind of thing..."

Pei Qi listened to Pei Liang's eloquence, but saw that Pei Yunjiang was silent.

The wave of disappointment that hit her continued to fill her body.

Rare... yes, rare.

Pei Qi slowly raised his eyes and tightened his hand holding the tea cup unconsciously: "Yes, it's rare."

"So when dad asked Qi Qianhe to get this poison, he must have put a lot of thought into it, right?" Pei Qi said sarcastically: "Qi Qianhe has always been as greedy for money as life. I wonder how much dad gave me?"

"A few thousand taels? Tens of thousands taels? Or more?"
