Gu Qingyuan turned her head and saw Pei Qingci grabbing the wooden stick with his hand. The veins on the back of his hand popped out. It was obvious that he had used a lot of force.

"Madam!" Sui Han rushed to Gu Qingyuan, and the moment his eyes fell on her legs, tears instantly fell down: "They are so cruel! Do you feel any pain for such a serious injury? "

Gu Qingyuan looked at Sui Han, whose eyes were red, with a smile on his pale face, and then shook his head: "It won't hurt, don't be afraid."

"Why doesn't it hurt? It hurts to see so much blood!" Sui Han said, wiping his tears, and then lowered his voice and said: "Madam, I know you don't want the Prime Minister to come, but I ran out and first He was the one I met. If I go to find the Duke or the Crown Prince again, I'm afraid it will be too late to come back."

Gu Qingyuan nodded, she understood how difficult Suihan was.

And it only took her two sticks to call someone over, which was really fast.

Mrs. Chen was sitting in the high hall. When she first saw Pei Qingci, her face was confused.

Just when she was about to stand up and salute, Chuntao reached out and held her shoulder: "Old madam, this is the inner hall. Even if the Prime Minister's words are broken to the heavens, he is still the Prime Minister of the imperial court, not the Prime Minister of our Duke's Palace."

The authorities were confused. When Chen heard this, he instantly became clear.

Yes, how could he, Pei Qingci, be in charge of other people's families when he was in charge of heaven and earth!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen sneered: "What are you doing, Mr. Xiangguo? Do you even have to take care of our housework?"

"Housework?" Pei Qingci sneered: "The old lady actually mentioned using the death penalty to do housework. The truth is, I want to ask the old lady how many sticks you are preparing to beat your daughter-in-law to death!"

Pei Qingci glanced at Gu Qingyuan's bloody leg, finally pushed the beating servant away, then took off his robe and covered Gu Qingyuan.

He took a cursory look and found that if he was hit with this force, Gu Qingyuan would die within three strokes.

It is true that he likes to have fun and watch the excitement, but if it is too exciting, what will he watch in the future?
Mrs. Chen said with a stern look on her face: "How could I beat her to death! I just did this to teach her a lesson! When the Prime Minister came here, he didn't know that my daughter-in-law wanted to kill the Duke because of jealousy. The heir of the house! Since the Prime Minister is a man, he should understand the importance of heirs to a family, but..."

Having said this, Mrs. Chen let out a long sigh and vividly acted out her hatred of iron.

Hearing this, Pei Qingci suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out there is a human life involved!"

Seeing what Pei Qingci said, Chen was like a drowning person who encountered a piece of driftwood. He grabbed it and attacked with all his strength: "Yes, the Prime Minister also knows it. If this is a human life, then it will be a criminal case. If it spreads, Gu Qingyuan will definitely die! I did this for her own good!"

"That's it." Pei Qingci smiled: "In that case, let's ask the old lady to go to Jing Zhaoyin."

When Ms. Chen heard this, she immediately waved her hand: "No, the child is fine. Gu Qingyuan can educate her at home. No need to bother Jing Zhaoyin."

"How can that be done?" After Pei Qingci said this with a smile, his eyes suddenly sank: "Since this matter is a criminal case, it must be handed over to Jing Zhaoyin. Is it possible that the old lady refused like this? Do you want to harbor someone or commit a crime?"

"This... what kind of harboring is this!" Mrs. Chen panicked. She didn't expect Pei Qingci to say this: "This is our family matter, how can it become harboring a criminal?" "Killing is the only thing in our dynasty. Second to the serious crime of rebellion, even unborn children are the same. Even if you don't complain, the government will take care of this matter. If the truth doesn't know about it, that's fine, but the truth happens to know. In this case, The truth cannot be ignored! Let the murderer go unpunished!" Pei Qingci's impassioned words made Suihan angry.

She looked at Pei Qingci and said with resentment: "Prime Minister Pei, my wife did not kill anyone at all! Don't listen to their nonsense! When Tian Leier's accident happened, my wife was not here!"

Sui Han was worried that if the government came, Gu Qingyuan would be injured more seriously.

Pei Qingci glanced at Sui Han, and finally fell on Gu Qingyuan, asking: "Or not to go to the government?"

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she felt as if she had found a life-saving straw, and said impatiently: "Yes, yes, yes, if you don't go to the government, what a big deal. There is no need to alert the government!"

"Go!" Gu Qingyuan waved to Sui Han, and then slowly climbed up from the bench.

"Madam, you... you are injured like this, why are you suffering?" Sui Han wiped his tears and said with great distress.

Gu Qingyuan shook her head and turned her gaze to Mrs. Chen: "Since my mother-in-law doesn't believe that I didn't do this, I'll leave it to the government to investigate. I will definitely give my mother-in-law a satisfactory answer."

Mrs. Chen looked defeated. She stood up, walked to Gu Qingyuan, sighed, reached out and took her hand, and said seriously: "You are like this, of course I believe you, Yuan'er, you I’m injured, so I really shouldn’t run around, so I might as well go back and rest first.”

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took it out: "Mother-in-law, I know you said this out of pity for me, but don't worry, I will tell you with the facts that I am not the murderer."

At the same time, the Duke of Guo also came.

As soon as she came over, Mrs. Chen rushed over as if she had seen a savior: "Master, tell me about Yuan'er. This girl must go to Jing Zhaoyin."

The Duke of Guo ignored Chen. He first saluted Pei Qingci and then asked Gu Qingyuan what happened.

Gu Qingyuan told the Duke exactly what she had just said. After listening to her words, the Duke bowed to Pei Qingci again: "Thank you so much, Prime Minister. If you hadn't helped me, Yuan'er wouldn't be here. We still don’t know what it will be like in the future.”

Pei Qingci waved his hand and said: "It's just a small effort. Lord Guo, in my opinion, I'd better leave this matter to Jing Zhaoyin. Someone almost died. If I handle it myself, I'm afraid it won't be good." .”

The Duke of Guo nodded: "What the Prime Minister said is true."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she suddenly became anxious: "Master! What are you talking about? There are so many people in the house for a banquet today. If Jing Zhaoyin comes, then... then our Duke's house still has the face. Do you want it anymore?”

"Ms. Chen, what are you talking about? Aren't you the one who doesn't want the face of the Duke of Guo?" The Duke of Guo looked at Chen with cold eyes: "Xiang Guo said that if he had come a step later, Yuan'er's life would have been lost. Okay, are you just taking the face of the Duke's palace into account when you cause trouble at this time?"
