The Male Wife

Chapter 144 Going to the Imperial Capital

At dawn, three major events were reported in Hwaseong.

The first major event, the cause of death of the mistress of the Pei family was indeed poisoned to death, and the poisoners were her husband, Pei Shiqi, and Hu Xiayun from the Hu clan.

——I don't know if Third Master Jiang is deliberately protecting the reputation of the Jiang family, so when he posted the seal, he only briefly introduced Hu Xiayun's background, but did not introduce her as the daughter-in-law of Jiang's eldest son.

The second major event was that the murderer Pei's father who had just been arrested, that is, Pei Shiqi, had died. The cause of death was that his body was weak and could not bear the torture in the prison.

——Everyone didn't think there was anything, a murderer died so easily, it was really cheap for him, he should be paraded before he died!

The third major event was that the accomplice Hu was frightened insane on the first night in prison.

There is no way for a crazy woman to remain in prison, which is very troublesome, so after it was determined that Hu Xiayun was really crazy, the government released Hu Xiayun.But before Hu Xiayun was let go, the government had already let go. Hu Xiayun was a guilty body. Even if she could not be imprisoned, she could not be taken home.

In other words, Hu Xiayun can only stay outside now, and no one can help her.This is Hu Xiayun's punishment.

At first, both the Hu family and the Jiang family thought that Hu Xiayun was deliberately pretending to be crazy to avoid punishment from the government, but after secretly observing for a few days, they discovered that Hu Xiayun might really be crazy.Otherwise, according to Hu Xiayun, who loves his feathers so much, how could he deliberately pretend to be crazy in front of the world in order to avoid the criminal law?Squatting in the streets and alleys all day long, staring at passers-by in a daze.

In the beginning, when Hu Xiayun was living on the street, those wealthy wives who still had some contact with Hu Xiayun in the past often went to make a special trip to tease Hu Xiayun, but after a long time, no one teased a crazy Hu Xiayun, after all, teasing a crazy woman In their eyes, a child is a very demeaning thing.

What's more, even if Hu Xiayun is crazy now, neither the Jiang family nor the Hu family are crazy. They are all watching secretly, and after a long time, no one dares to tease Hu Xiayun anymore.

Jiang Qi'er was young, so after Hu Xiayun left, she cried all day long to find her mother.

At first, the old lady wanted to keep her eldest grandson a secret, but unexpectedly, Uncle Jiang, who was so annoyed by Jiang Qier, directly dragged Jiang Qier to the street, and asked him to take a look at the people living on the street with his own eyes. Crazy mother, with just one glance, Jiang Qi'er immediately extinguished his small thoughts of wanting to find his mother, and he dared not say any more.

The old lady disapproved of Uncle Jiang’s actions at first, because Jiang Qi’er’s actions would make Jiang Qi’er feel inferior, but she didn’t expect Jiang Qi’er to not only stop clamoring for Hu Xiayun after the shock, he seemed to be It's like completely kicking Hu Xiayun out of his mind. He only cares about his studies and pleasing the old lady all day long, or he will go to the shop with Uncle Jiang to learn how to manage the shop obediently, and he will stop taking care of other things.

The old lady and Uncle Jiang felt that Jiang Qier's actions were very sensible and wise, but in the eyes of Jiang Sanye, they felt that Jiang Qier's actions were too cold-blooded. Hu Xiayun was the mother who gave birth to him and raised her for so many years. Hu Xiayun is in trouble now, Jiang Qier didn't say that he would bring her back, but in the end he still acted like a normal person all day long.

Doesn't he know how pitiful his now mad mother is when she's on the streets?

In fact, Jiang Qier knew it, but he was born with the unfeelingness of Uncle Jiang and Hu Xiayun's selfishness, so when his biological mother had an accident, Jiang Qier wanted to ensure that he was still the best future heir in his father's heart. , Jiang Qier pretended that he no longer remembered Hu Xiayun's existence, and he wanted to use this to make Uncle Jiang more satisfied with him.

Water itself, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water.Hwaseong North.

When Pei Cheng woke up, Jiang Linzhi just washed away his blood, and sat beside him, looking down at a book.

Pei Cheng stared blankly at Jiang Linzhi's side face, couldn't help crawling under the quilt, sat on Jiang Linzhi's body, took away the book Jiang Linzhi was holding with both hands, and then said : "Why don't you take a break?"

Jiang Linzhi raised his eyes, and glanced at Pei Cheng lightly with his deep and dark eyes, but said nothing.

Jiang Linzhi's eyes made Pei Cheng think about things for a moment, but the man spoke up soon, and he hugged Pei Cheng who was sitting on him, bringing them closer , and then lifted the quilt a little with his hands, covering Pei Cheng's back, and then hugged the person and the quilt in his arms.

The warm embrace made Pei Cheng feel familiar for a long time. It was rare for him to lie obediently in Jiang Linzhi's arms and said, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Jiang Linzhi, who just went around the prison, didn't intend to take a rest. His forehead touched Pei Cheng's forehead, and then he said, "I can't sleep."

"What?" Pei Cheng didn't see the danger flashing in Jiang Linzhi's eyes. He raised his head and looked at the man's firm chin. He couldn't help leaning forward and kissed him. Then when the man looked down at him, Pei Cheng couldn't help but glance away again.

This unprecedented sense of shyness and happiness immediately filled Pei Cheng's body.

Pei Cheng has never loved anyone, but as the saying goes, have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

Therefore, even Pei Cheng, who is not rich in emotional experience, can easily perceive his obvious love for Jiang Linzhi when facing Jiang Linzhi at this moment.

"Pei Shiqi is dead." Jiang Linzhi touched Pei Cheng's head, pursed his lips, and continued before Pei Cheng could react, "Your father is dead and Hu Xiayun is crazy. The news came out this morning."

Pei Cheng, who originally wanted to make some games that adults could play at this time, calmed down instantly. He sat on Jiang Linzhi's lap, but there was no ambiguity. He looked at Jiang Linzhi seriously. Look, said: "He, is he really dead?"

Pei Cheng lowered his eyes, saying that he was not moved would be a lie, after all, he never thought that Father Pei would really die one day.But if it is said that Pei Cheng will feel guilty or uncomfortable because of Pei's father's death, it is impossible, after all, Pei Cheng is more willing to see Pei's father's death now than anyone else.

"Tell me what you want to do next time first." Jiang Linzhi looked into Pei Cheng's eyes. When he said this, he noticed Pei Cheng's dodge, frowned, and held Pei Cheng's head with his hand , so that he can only look at himself.

"I don't want to hear from others that you were bullied after I left." Jiang Linzhi didn't say that when he received the news that Pei Cheng was miscarried by Pei's father, he took the original from the imperial capital. When I came back, I smashed all the porcelain I wanted to give to Pei Cheng to vent my anger. Those porcelains are expensive and valuable in the imperial capital. If Pei Cheng knows that he accidentally smashed several of them, Jiang Linzhi knows that Pei Cheng will definitely be angry.So he chose not to speak.

Pei Cheng's earlobes gradually turned red. After a long time, he nodded slowly under Jiang Linzhi's gaze, and coughed dryly. Pei Cheng continued: "I know I was a little reckless this time, but at that time I had only this way. Moreover, at that time If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to understand this matter."

"I don't want you to hurt yourself for others." Jiang Linzhi lowered his eyes and tightened his arms around Pei Cheng, but in the next second, he let go of his hand slightly, not so hard on his hands, so that Pei Cheng could lean on comfortably own body.

Pei Cheng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The thing you told me last night... Do you want to go to the emperor and come back?"

"I want to take you there." Jiang Linzhi pushed the hair on Pei Cheng's forehead to the side. Seeing that the corners of his eyes were a little red, he couldn't help but kiss him. Pei Cheng didn't stop him, but he did There was no immediate reply either.

Jiang Linzhi didn't mind, Pei Cheng had stayed in Hwaseong for so many years, no matter how much he disliked this place, but it was also his home, and it was impossible to leave easily.But Jiang Linzhi is very confident, he believes that Pei Cheng will be willing to leave with him.

"Leave Huacheng and go to the imperial capital..." Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi, "I thought about it, I don't know the emperor well, but..." But if you continue to stay in Huacheng, the Jiang family and the Pei family will not let it go Own.

Hu Xiayun and Pei's father stayed alone in a restaurant room and chatted with Pei Cheng for a long time before being arrested. This matter can never be hidden in Huacheng, so Pei Cheng knew that if he continued to stay in Huacheng, he must be People will poke the spine——In Huaguo, where the word filial piety is at the forefront, no matter what the reason is for Pei Cheng, as long as someone knows that Pei's father was arrested by Pei Cheng and the government, then Pei Cheng will definitely be accused give pointers.

Both Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi know this very well.

Looking at the embarrassment on Pei Cheng's face, Jiang Linzhi continued: "I will follow you whether you go to the imperial capital or stay in Huacheng."

"Hmm." Pei Cheng pursed his lips, and tentatively asked, "How could Hu Xiayun be crazy?"

"I don't know." Jiang Linzhi put the book beside the bed aside, lay down with Pei Cheng in his arms, and said, "Maybe I feel ashamed. I can't accept it for a while."

Pei Cheng didn't think that Hu Xiayun would be frightened crazy because of guilt in his heart, but now that he has gone crazy, it's pointless for him to worry about it, "The Pei family took mother away from the yamen?"

"Well." Jiang Linzhi continued, "Do you want to go back and see her for the last time?"

"I haven't been back to Pei's house very much in these years. It's my son's fault to spread the word." Pei Cheng paused for a moment, his expression was a little gloomy, but it was more about letting go of the past, "Finding free time Always go back and have a look, otherwise in Hwaseong..."

Pei Cheng didn't continue talking, Jiang Linzhi knew what he meant by what he didn't finish, so he didn't ask further.

The two hugged each other in silence, and soon fell asleep.

Pei's house, study room.

Auntie Pei looked at Brother Pei worriedly, "Both the corpses of father and mother were sent back by the yamen, and the yamen didn't care about the next thing."

Brother Pei's expression has changed a lot, and he sneered when he heard the words, "Hmph, of course they won't care. If father's body can't be sent back, how dare they accept the money?"

Sister Pei was a little afraid of Brother Pei, she lowered her head and dared not speak.
