Chapter 115

When Sheng Yuanyao encountered a life crisis in Qingyao Garden, Pei Chuyun also encountered an important node in her life.

The Joyous Union Sect has potential forces in the capital... not brothels, but many officials' back houses have been invaded by them.

Among them is an old lady in charge of the Marquis Mansion, who is virtuous and respected on the surface, but is actually a high-level member of the Joyous Union Sect. First, the mistress took the position to kill the original wife, and after being supported, she sucked the old Marquis to death, "hardly" raised the young Marquis, and to this day the young Marquis treats her as a mother, filial and obedient, and the whole Marquis Mansion's power is in her control.

The Joyous Union Sect uses similar routines to invade the imperial court, not a few.

Other demonic sects have more or less similar tricks. The imperial court, which is still considered salvageable in Lu Xingzhou's eyes because of Meng Guan, Meng Li and others, has long been riddled with holes in the eyes of major demonic sects.

Pei Chuyun followed Lu Xingzhou's suggestion and wanted to visit the old lady of the Marquis Mansion to probe whether she knew about Pei Qingyan's past.

As a result, just after turning into the backyard of the Marquis Mansion, her whole body was shocked.

A woman in the backyard was sitting there drinking tea leisurely. Obviously there was no special action, and her clothes were very ordinary, but even as a woman, she could feel the charm that made people feel terrified.

The Joyous Union Sect Master, Pei Chuyun's master.

Their names are often unknown, and the world only calls them "Xuan Nu."

Pei Chuyun suppressed her shock and saluted: "I have seen the Master. Why did the Master come to the capital?"

"Since you entered the Pei residence, of course I have to come." Xuan Nu said lightly: "Otherwise, let you listen to Pei Qingyan's nonsense, are you going to be separated from us?"

Pei Chuyun hurriedly said: "Master is overthinking, how could Yun'er listen to someone else's one-sided words."

"But you have doubts in your heart, so you will come to Su Lady's side to try to listen to the multi-party statement, right?"

Pei Chuyun was silent.

Xuan Nu said lightly: "What did Pei Qingyan say? Said we killed your mother?"

Pei Chuyun "hmm" and added: "I didn't believe it."

Xuan Nu sneered: "The reality is that there is no need to hide it from you until now. Your mother was my junior sister. She did deliberately approach him back then, wanting to be like Su Lady... The difference is that Pei Qingyan's original wife died of dystocia when she gave birth to Pei Yu. He had no wife by his side. As long as she could successfully marry into the Pei family and raise Pei Yu who was still in swaddling clothes, she could seize the power of the Pei family. This is our routine."

"And then?"

"At that time, Pei Qingyan's cultivation was not as high as it is now, and your mother's Joyous Union mysterious arts were hidden very well, and he didn't find it. Later, the two did become 'confidants,' and your mother also aimed at an opportunity to use some means to make him mistakenly think that he was confused and rolled onto the bed."

Pei Chuyun's heart stirred slightly: "Since it's done, why not just use the Joyous Union mysterious arts to control him?"

"The Pei family is a big family, and there are countless strong people in the clan. As long as Pei Qingyan returns to the clan in Hedong, it will be very easy for people to find signs of being controlled, so your mother adopted another method... Do you know what a man trusts you most?"

Pei Chuyun didn't know before, but now she understands: "He guards against you using the Joyous Union mysterious arts, but in fact you didn't use it, just sincerely making him feel comfortable."

"Not bad." Xuan Nu nodded approvingly: "Pei Qingyan is not an ordinary person. At first, the Joyous Union mysterious arts deceived him, but once they had intercourse, that kind of moment really couldn't be deceived. And your mother knew he found out, was nervous and guarded, but never used the cultivation method. What do you think Pei Qingyan would think?"

Pei Chuyun pursed her lips. Logically, he would be very moved, and he would feel a sense of achievement, that he really picked the heart of the Joyous Union demoness. But the ending of the matter didn't seem to go this way...

Xuan Nu sneered: "Pei Qingyan was indeed moved, and then promised your mother a position as an outsider."

Pei Chuyun: "???"

"The head of a top family, with generations of hairpins, can accommodate you as an outsider, don't you feel favored?" Xuan Nu laughed: "We thought of everything, calculated the hearts of men, but planted on this value cognition of family children that is different from ordinary people... He really felt that this was particularly reasonable, and particularly favored your mother, hahahaha..."

Pei Chuyun: "..."

Although her mother didn't have true feelings, it was just a gold-digger meeting a scumbag, being restrained by heaven, but it was really hard to hold back when listening to this.

"Your mother was so angry, and she recognized that she had planted it, so she parted ways. As a result, she found she was pregnant two months later..." Xuan Nu sighed: "For the sect, going out to cheat men and then getting a big belly back is really too shameful. She didn't have the face to return to the sect, but she couldn't bear to kill you, so she gave birth to you secretly outside."

"How did she die, also dystocia?"

"To be honest, how she died is a mystery." Xuan Nu said: "Your mother's cultivation is very high. Logically, she shouldn't have dystocia. Not to mention that she is not without money, although she hid herself, the conditions are not simple... But when I found her, there was no midwife by her side, only you stuck there, and she was out of breath... I suspect that the Pei family came to 'clean up the portal,' otherwise why would a group of Demon Suppression Division people suddenly hunt me down as soon as I arrived?"

Pei Chuyun was silent.

"I only had time to hold you, and I don't know what happened later." Xuan Nu sneered: "As for whether this 'cleaning up the portal' was Pei Qingyan himself, or someone else in the Pei family and Pei Qingyan didn't know, to be honest, I have no evidence. If you have to say that she died of dystocia, maybe it's right, anyway, I have no evidence."

Pei Chuyun was silent for a long time, and said somewhat tiredly: "The possibility of other people in the Pei family is the majority... So hiding the fact that there is a child, I see he really doesn't know... And the message passed to Pei Qingyan is that the Joyous Union Sect killed her. Perhaps from his perspective, it is you who are cleaning up the portal. In this way, the statements of the two sides are matched."

Xuan Nu nodded: "After we discussed, we also felt that this possibility is the majority... This is the problem you should explore. If it is really the case, whether to take revenge for your mother is also something you should consider."

Pei Chuyun calmed down and asked: "Then why didn't Master tell me directly and let me seek relatives to enter the Pei family to plot?"

"Do you think Pei Qingyan is a fool? No matter what excuse you use to find relatives, he will inevitably investigate your roots. How can your Joyous Union mysterious arts be hidden from him? Then don't think about getting trust." Xuan Nu sneered: "The best plan is of course that even you don't know, and after you debut, you do something else, and the reputation reaches Pei Qingyan's ears, he suspects himself, and seeks the answer himself... At that kind of time, even if he finds that you were adopted by us since childhood and have a Joyous Union mysterious arts, his mentality will not be the same."

This is the reason why she is still surnamed Pei, and she has been taught some useless cultural knowledge since childhood, but refuses to tell her clearly...

Pei Chuyun's eyes changed: "Master's meaning... that way he is more likely to feel distressed that I was kept in the dark and recognized the thief as a father, and will try to tell me the 'truth' and find you to take revenge together?"

"Not bad." Xuan Nu said lightly: "Human hearts are like this." Xuan Nu said lightly: "So why didn't we build any talented woman reputation for you? It's because the craftsmanship is still too heavy, and Pei Qingyan may still suspect. On the contrary, let him feel that you have a talent but are suppressed by us, which can strengthen some judgments."

Pei Chuyun stood there in a daze, her brain a bit empty.

"As for not giving you any authority..." Xuan Nu's mouth curled slightly, as if sneering: "Yun'er, you have to prove... if one day you enter the Pei family, you won't cling to the top family and turn around to deal with us. This is not only the meaning of the general high level, but also my meaning."

Pei Chuyun left the Marquis Mansion like a dream, and returned to the inn in a daze.

When she went back, Lu Xingzhou's master and apprentice were still eating at the Sheng family. Pei Chuyun waited for a long time and didn't come back, and her heart was even more difficult to endure.

It seems like she has lost her backbone...

She really, really wanted to discuss with Lu Xingzhou. At this moment, only what Lu Xingzhou said could make her chaotic mind normal.

In her heart, she was still secretly thinking, her mother didn't use the Joyous Union mysterious arts, and after moving Pei Qingyan, the result was just like that... Then the tacit understanding and heartbeat between her and Lu Xingzhou, how reliable can it be?

Lu Xingzhou's lover is Shen Tang... it has never been her Pei Chuyun. She is at most the beauty he covets.

Suddenly there was a drizzle, drizzling, sprinkling in the courtyard.

Pei Chuyun looked up slightly, letting the drizzle wash her face, trying to make her mind clear.

As a result, what echoed in her heart was Lu Xingzhou's "The fine rain is as thin as sorrow."

Pei Chuyun took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of the wheelchair rolling over the floor came from outside the door. Pei Chuyun opened her eyes and looked at the master and apprentice entering with a smile, suddenly feeling like a lifetime away.

"Eh..." Lu Xingzhou came to her side, strangely reached out and shook in front of her: "Why do you look like you have something on your mind... don't tell me you haven't eaten yet?"

Pei Chuyun smiled reluctantly: "Where have you been? Waited for you for a long time."

Lu Xingzhou's expression became serious, and he pulled her into the room: "Come in and talk."

In the room, the wind and rain were blocked outside, and it felt a bit warm.

Lu Xingzhou got up and took a towel, gently wiped Pei Chuyun's face, and let down her long hair to dry slowly: "Who bullied my little maid?"

Pei Chuyun looked at the bronze mirror not far away, and the gentle appearance of him reflected in the mirror, and finally opened her mouth: "I met the Master directly... and the Master also told me the truth directly."

"Hmm." Lu Xingzhou said: "Looking at your appearance, you should be confused... You might as well tell me."

Pei Chuyun told him slowly one by one.

Lu Xingzhou also thought about it in a daze, and smiled lightly: "This is the Pei family feeling that your enemy is the Joyous Union Sect, and the Joyous Union Sect feeling that your enemy is the Pei family."

Pei Chuyun pouted, leaning on him somewhat negatively: "Actually, what kind of hatred, I'm even thinking, does it have anything to do with me..."

"It's good to think so, as long as we lie flat, no one can use it, right." Lu Xingzhou smiled: "Besides, on the surface, the statements of both sides can be matched, but there is a problem here, I don't know if you have thought about it..."

Pei Chuyun knew that finding him to chat would have new ideas, so she couldn't help but get some spirit: "What?"

"According to your master, your mother didn't contact the sect... but why does she know these details so clearly? Not only does she know the subtle changes in mentality of whether to use the Joyous Union mysterious arts, but she even knows that she is afraid of shame afterwards, as if she witnessed it? This little essay is written as if she experienced it herself..."

Pei Chuyun was stunned there.

"If you ask me, this matter is actually very simple. If you are really willing to lie flat and not think about revenge or not..." Lu Xingzhou combed her hair and said leisurely: "You don't take the initiative and don't refuse, wait for Pei Qingyan to discover your identity and recognize you, be a comfortable Pei family lady, and be a comfortable Joyous Union Saintess. You don't do what both sides hope you do... One day, someone will be the first to be unable to hold back, and then you will know everything."

Pei Chuyun was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Whatever things are sorted out by him, it seems that they will become very simple.
