After my death, my ex-husband ruled the world

Chapter 40
Pei Huai'an glanced at the box she was carrying, and said with an unhurried attitude, "Who are you, and what is behind it? Stay here, and I will spare your life."

Yu Lian definitely couldn't answer him. Pei Huaian had heard her voice and was afraid of revealing her secrets when she spoke.

She started running with ease.

The man would definitely not let her go, and the two chased after her.

Unfortunately, before she left the house, Yu Lian was caught up by the person behind her. He dodged a palm, but she narrowly avoided it, leaving the opponent in vain.

The man hit her fiercely again, obviously wanting to fight with her.

Yu Lian relied on her black running clothes, covered her face with a black scarf, held a dagger, and fought him with the previous moves. She hated Pei Huai'an's heartlessness, and even more hated him for not saving her in front of Tong Jingyun. Hit him hard.

Her martial arts had recovered to [-]%, holding a short knife, she fought back and forth with Pei Huai'an.

If it were Princess Zhaoyang back then, there would still be a chance to tie with Pei Huaian.

Now, Yu Xianglian is not in good health.

During the man's moves, he saw that her every move was exactly the same as the Zhaoyang in the past, with deep black eyes, exuding danger like an abyss.

How could there be such a coincidence, could it be Zhaoyang's senior sister or junior sister?

Impossible, she does not have a senior sister or a junior sister.

Judging from the appearance of the person in front of him, it was clearly a woman.

How is this going?

If she wanted to know, she had to take down the person in front of her first. Pei Huai'an's moves were quick and ruthless, but Yu Lian didn't notice, and was hit on the back by him. With this blow, she knew that she had suffered internal injuries.

Well, you little Pei, I will fight with you.

Yue Emei gave her a few bottles of poison for self-defense. How could she be unprepared when she came to the princess mansion, she quietly prepared the poison, and when fighting with Pei Huai'an, she sprinkled it vigorously, and the powder fell all over the sky.

Yu Lian was also poisoned and fell to the ground, but it didn't matter, she had an antidote.

The poison is so strong that it takes half an hour to recover after taking the antidote.

Pei Huai'an was not so lucky. Without the antidote, he had already fallen to the ground. He was conscious, staring at the man in black with wide eyes, but he couldn't move.

Yu Lian came in front of him, kicked him vigorously first, and said in a rough voice: "I told you to mind your own business." Seeing him staring at her.

She kicked him hard a few more times: "Are you convinced? Are you convinced?"

As if she was upset, she knelt down and slapped him twice more.

"Go back and practice martial arts well in the future, don't lose again, or someone will stab you with a knife."

From beginning to end, she spoke in a thick voice.

Yu Lian got up, walked away step by step, and did not use lightness kung fu again.Pei Huai'an couldn't speak, and watched her leave with his eyes. He should have been angry and strangled her, but he saw the lonely back of the woman in black, like Zhaoyang.

Who is she?
Why is it so similar to Zhaoyang.

With this doubt, he could only move in the early morning. When he returned to Dudu's Mansion, Shuofeng was shocked when he saw him in a mess and with injuries on his face. There is no killing, no fish slipping through the net."

The implication is that your injury has nothing to do with those assassins, I blocked them, so don't blame me.

Pei Huaian said: "Prepare water to wash up."

They walked into the house without much conversation.

On the way here with the copper basin, Shuo Feng kept thinking about a question, who hit the governor?So bold.

Pei Huai'an didn't know who the man in black was, so naturally he couldn't solve Shuo Feng's doubts.

Because of the injury on his face, he sent someone to the palace to take a day off.

Tong Xiangming was still in a coma, and the troops summoned by Tong's family had already set up camp twenty miles outside the city, and they would rush into Beijing just waiting for an order.

At such a moment, Governor Pei asked for leave again, and there were many discussions in the court.

The military commander advocates taking the initiative to attack, directly sending troops to subdue the [-] soldiers outside the city, advocating iron and blood methods.

Wen Chen thought that we should wait, and the Tong family dared not rebel.

The two factions quarreled.

At this time in the past, Yu Wende would ask Pei Huaian for his opinion, and the ministers would calm down and listen. Today, Pei Huaian is not here, and the ministers in the hall can discuss freely.

Yu Wende glanced at Cai Shao. Cai Shao had taken over Pei Huaian's position and knew what the emperor meant. He was in a dilemma and he couldn't give any advice. He simply looked ahead and pretended not to see the emperor's gaze.

He is just an eunuch, and he has said long ago that he cannot take on Duzhu Pei's burden...

After arguing for a long time, the civil servants and military generals came to a conclusion.

Wait and see.

Waiting for the [-] soldiers from the imperial court to arrive, they will catch the Tong family by surprise.

The court seems to be the same as in the past, but the parties have long been divided secretly. Some people expect the Tong family to raise their troops and fight with the emperor, so that both sides will suffer. This way, the young emperor will move his target to other places, and it will be more convenient for them to make money.

The situation in the DPRK and China was so tense, no matter how many people there were in the Yu Mansion, the Shen family had already set the date with the Huangmen servant for Nayu Xianglian to enter the mansion, which was on February [-]th.

Taking a concubine doesn't have to be so troublesome, it can be done as quickly as possible.

Zhou Wenyu knew about this and made a special trip to Yu's mansion. Before he met the eldest lady, Yu Lian met him first.

Under the curved corridor, she calmly said: "Young Master Wen Yu, I am willing to do this matter. The servant of Huangmen is a fourth-rank official in the court. I am much better than ordinary people as his concubine. It is my blessing."

The girl combed her hair in a delicate bun, her side face was as smooth as fat.

The words he spoke were like the cold wind piercing the bone, piercing the pain.

The corners of Zhou Wenyu's eyes were scarlet, and he asked, "Could it be that you married him as a concubine just because he is a fourth-rank official of the court?"

"Yes." Yu Lian answered his question without hesitation, turned to look at him, and asked, "Does your parents know about your visit to Yu Mansion this time?"

Zhou Wenyu was stunned, his parents didn't know about his trip.

He didn't need to answer, Yu Lian knew it by looking at his face, and then said: "They don't know, you came to find me without authorization, no matter if I marry you as a wife or a concubine, it is impossible, isn't it?"

Zhou Mansion will not let her in.

In Dayin, the status of officials was higher than that of merchants. A family like the Zhou family would definitely look down on her, a concubine. She had even offended the Tong family.

Zhang Qianlan saw that the Zhou family had posted a message for Yu Lian, and knew that it was not easy, so she always asked her to seize the opportunity. Both Zhou Xun and Zhou Wenyu were outstanding talents.

Zhou Wenyu met Yu Lian's eyes and assured her: "I can convince my family to let you marry me as my concubine, Lianmei, I will definitely treat you well."

This is the best he can achieve.

Yu Lian shook her head, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Then it's better to be the concubine of the servant of Huangmen." Not to mention the plan to feign death in the future, it is impossible for the current Yu Lian to be a concubine.

In the depths of her soul is Zhaoyang, the woman who was born with dignity.

Spending her whole life in the back house until she dies is not the outcome she wants.

Zhou Wenyu put away his emotions and said after a moment: "Is it because he has a higher official position than me?"

"Yes." The girl quickly replied.

He said no more, turned and left, walking resolutely.
