Chapter 343: New Grudge, Old Hate

Min Yu Han helplessly laughed, The Min clan and the Pei clans relations.h.i.+p is a little too tight. This kind of close relations.h.i.+p originally was fine, but some peoples brains arent too clear, acting according to their own a.s.sumptions, believing themselves to be holding the pearl of wisdom, but in reality, just looking for death. As such, for the Min clan, there isnt the slightest bit of good.

Thats right, in Min Yu Hans eyes, the Pei clan leaders greatest mistake was just relying on the a.s.sumptions based on the common characteristics of men, perhaps also including that bit of understanding towards Jin Qinw.a.n.gs superficial surface, and just carried out his schemes and arrangements. All say only by knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, can one then come out unscathed through a hundred battles. The Pei clan leader perhaps believed knowing oneself was the same as knowing others. In reality, never mind knowing others, he probably didnt even have a complete understanding towards himself either. After all, for people that were too conceited, even if wrong, they still wouldnt look for the cause on themselves.

Min Xiao Yuan saw Min Yu Hans smile for the first time, and was truly stunned. Even at this current age, he was still this handsome and elegant, then when he was younger, certainly must have been especially good-looking too. Really want to see that woman that made him, to this day, still not take a wife and not leave children. Unfortunately, it was completely impossible to meet the person. So, great-uncle going to the Pei clan to propose marriage, was purely just to pick a fight?

Min Yu Han slightly blanked, and afterwards, carried a bit of helplessness, In essence, saying this also isnt a problem, but you can be a bit more tactful. Dont blindly blurt out the truth!

Min Xiao Yuan mischievously covered her mouth, expressing that shell shut up, even blinking her eyes at Min Yu Han.

Min Yu Han laughed again. Facing such a pure child, not needing to take twists and turns when speaking, also not needing to have too many misgivings, and even if saying something wrong, it didnt matter either, ones heart and body naturally all relaxed. Just, You and Pei Xiu Ying have a good relations.h.i.+p, and youre also someone that usually values friends.h.i.+p..

I know what great-uncle wants to say. Great-uncle dont need to worry. My relations.h.i.+p with big sister Xiu Ying actually isnt as good as everyone thinks. Big sister Xiu Ying, this person, appears to be very gentle, and towards the people shes friends with, also very good, but I feel, in her bones, shes actually very cold and indifferent. Shouldnt true close friends of the boudoir not keep anything from one another, willing to tell the other party anything? However, she isnt like this. She has never told me her personal matters before. She seemingly would never be unhappy, and never express her dislike towards anyone, but as people, all would have seven emotions and six desires

[1]

, certainly all having love and hate, happiness and anger. Just like what you said just now, that pair of twin sister paternal aunts of hers genuinely didnt get along with her, frequently bothering her. But in private, she has never said a single bad thing about them, is this normal? If switch with me, it certainly would be impossible. The reason why, in an outsiders eye, our friends.h.i.+p is pretty good was purely because, I feel, she didnt do anything to me, so naturally just peacefully got along. Moreover, by being together with her, I can even avoid some people that I dont want to see. Although I might also have less friends, but you win some, you lose some, no? The most troublesome matter was probably just my older brother. He always ask me about big sister Xiu Yings matter, but I simply just dont know. Afterwards, just using the excuse of cant damage big sister Xiu Yings pure reputation, I would angrily have him driven away. Every time it would always make one very helpless, yet big brother would still persist. Min Xiao Yuans little face wrinkled into a lump.

Min Yu Han smiled, but if its just this, then naturally it was good.

Min Yu Han directly had the person kept behind to chat with him. Actually, thinking back to it, it was still quite unfair. He, a darn old man, restraining a little girl, and although girls of large influential families all emphasize on being reserved and virtuous, but in the end, she was still young, so certainly further liked playing with people of the same age. However, Min Xiao Yuan was a clever and filial child, and didnt really get annoyed. On the contrary, she quite liked listening to Min Yu Han talk about his travel experiences in the past.

Midway, a servant boy that served Min Yu Han came in, whispering a few words by Min Yu Hans ear. Min Yu Han didnt express anything, just waving his hand to let him leave.

Does great-uncle have something to attend to? Min Xiao Yuan asked.

Not really. Min Yu Han continued telling her stories.

In reality, when hed let someone call Min Xiao Yuan over, hed specially attracted her older brothers attention, and just as expected, her brother had followed over. Because hed intentionally ordered away the people guarding the courtyard gate, the other party naturally just easily entered. Afterwards, his conversation with Yuan Yuan, the other party naturally all heard. Min Yu Han wanted to give him a hand, letting him not be this obstinate in going the wrong way, but he also knew, feelings, this kind of thing, wasnt something that can be severed that easily. Some times, the more one blocked, the more stubborn the other would become instead.

However, if clearly knowing what kind of person the other party was and still unwilling to turn back, even doing something that will harm the family clan, then even if Min Yu Han can understand that kind of feeling, he still wont indulge him. Of course, it wasnt really for the sake of the family clan, but rather Jin Qinw.a.n.g.

The Min clan has leaned towards Jin Qinw.a.n.g, yet Jin Qinw.a.n.g wants to sort out the Pei clan, so in between, what one should do, one simple didnt need to think.

Just unfortunately, that grandnephew, as expected, was still too muddled. Hed just heard a bit from here, and immediately just headed to the Pei clan residence. However, if Pei Xiu Ying doesnt want to immediately became an abandoned chess piece, then at this time, certainly will spare no effort in serving her great-grandmother. However, this also isnt easy. After all, the other few were aware that she really wasnt genuinely cupped in the palm by the Pei clan leader, so naturally wont be polite with her anymore. Old grudges and new hate all piling together, Pei Xiu Yings following days will be very difficult, and most likely wont have the energy to deal with outsiders.

Towards this kind of person that can implicate the entire family, the best way was to just have him dragged back and locked up. If the manor in Chuanzhou Fu is unable to contain him, then just send back to the Min County main residence. However, right now, there was no hurry. Once he runs into a wall, he naturally will just come back, no need to have that big of a disturbance.

In reality, it was just as Min Yu Han had predicted. That older brother of Yuan Yuans was destined to be miserable. Pei Xiu Ying didnt even bother to meet him. Pei Xiu Ying was very clear, based on her current situation, to want to look for a relatively good way out, this admirer of hers definitely wasnt within the scope of consideration, because she was very clear what kind of state the other party was in in the Min clan. To put it bluntly, he was just a young master that completely relied on the family. Regardless of how he bounces around, in the end, the one to make the decision was just his familys elders. If she was still perfectly fine, then perhaps there was still a possibility. But now, without the ability to give birth, no matter how treasured she was in the past, now she was all just a blade of gra.s.s, especially given that the people of the Min clan also knew about this matter.

Regardless of how frantic she was inside, and regardless of how much she hated, she nevertheless knew that she absolutely cant mess up her steps.

Speaking of which, if its just losing the ability to give birth, then prior to the other influential families finding out, based on her reputation outside, finding a good marriage arrangement definitely wasnt a problem. The problem right now was Jin Qinw.a.n.g wants to deal with the Pei clan, severing the Pei clans roots. And more importantly, they still didnt have a way to have this news sent back to the main residence.

Right now, she was standing outside her great-grandmothers room, simply unable to enter the door, not knowing what the situation was like. In reality, it was indeed quite bad, because it was already not just one doctor coming, and every single one previously all left very quickly, just saying one line: Prepare the funeral arrangements.

They were all Chuanzhou Fus relatively well-known doctors. Although they didnt know the Pei clan leader madams ident.i.ty, they still knew this was the Pei clans residence. Towards this kind of family, ordinary people naturally couldnt afford to offend, and the doctors afterwards that had received news directly just hid themselves. There was no doctor that was willing to come visit.

After sending away the last doctor, the twin sisters directly walked up to Pei Xiu Ying, loudly fanning a slap over, s.l.u.t!

Pei Xiu Ying, from childhood to now, has never gotten a single finger laid on her before, so in this moment, she naturally was unable to maintain her usual bearing, covering her face in disbelief, also carrying hatred, You dare to hit me?

Another slap flew over, So what if its. .h.i.tting you? If not for you going crazy and wanting to climb onto the dragon would things have ended up like this? Would it have angered Jin Qinw.a.n.g to the point of implicating our entire Pei clan? A dignified Pei clan main familys di branch di-born young lady actually willingly recommended herself as a pillow, willing to become a concubine, and the other party was even the blood-related biao uncle? To self-willingly be lowly to this degree, embarra.s.sing the entire family clan, one slap is still light. Another slap landed.

Pei Xiu Ying rather wanted to resist, but as the saying goes, two hands couldnt rival four. In addition to the other three girls, sorting her out was something that couldnt be more simple.

Only the crisp slapping sound and Pei Xiu Yings sharp screams could be heard. There wasnt even the opportunity to curse.

The people serving her rather wanted to help out, but the other servants with their own masters also wont just watch with folded arms, naturally immediately charging forward. Since the master had grudges, the people below naturally had grudges too. For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Just, the Pei clan leader madam was still in the room and unconscious. How ironic!
