The Pei family was secretly ridiculed by many big families because of this, and it was normal for everyone to be unhappy, which could not be considered any malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Pei Qingyan's power and status, this point of unhappiness would not be expressed. The face that should be given must be given: \"This is Chuyun, we have heard that she is talented and beautiful, famous in the capital, and it is true when we see it today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun returned the salute: \"Everyone's praise is absurd.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes had locked onto a white-bearded old man. Only this person didn't say a scene word, and the horror in his eyes flashed away, not the polite distance of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yu smiled and said: \"Don't look at Chuyun drifting outside, etiquette, talent, and even cultivation are all giving my Pei family a long face in the capital. Uncles and uncles may not know yet, a few days ago Chuyun challenged the first rookie and won. Although the first rookie has been produced by our Pei family, Chuyun is only eighteen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan stroked his beard and smiled, obviously satisfied with this daughter in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the daughter is impeccable in all aspects, except that she always sneaks out to meet her lover in the middle of the night. This is the poison of the Chaste Maiden Hehuan, which is really difficult to restrain. He Pei Qingyan is not easy to teach and punish as a head of the family just after recognizing his daughter, fearing that it will cause his daughter to lose her sense of belonging, so he has to open one eye and close one eye for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yu is still helping his sister hide it. Do you really think Dad doesn't know? Dad knows much earlier than you, Pei Yu. But the daughter also has the identity of the Chaste Maiden Hehuan, how can you discipline her? If she is unhappy, she will return to the sect directly. How to manage? Locked up as a prisoner? Then why recognize her home? There is no emotion, but a enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I can only hope that after she integrates into the family, she will become estranged or even break with the Chaste Maiden Hehuan sect. After all, a normal person knows how to choose between the Pei family and the Chaste Maiden Hehuan sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after making a choice and having no way back can she be disciplined. Anyway, she is only meeting a lover privately, not provoking everywhere. The background of the Chaste Maiden Hehuan can be maintained like this, which should be considered pure and clean... Old Pei expressed that his emotions were temporarily stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about this, I heard the white-bearded old man say: \"Qingyan, the time is almost up, it's time to enter the ancestral hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan looked at the sky and nodded: \"Not bad. Yun'er, stand behind Dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said: \"Wait. This is the position of the direct daughter. There has never been a concubine daughter following the head of the family into the ancestral hall. It is good for them to worship outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was suddenly quiet, and Pei Qingyan's face sank: \"Third Uncle, the Emperor's grace to Yun'er, what this means, I don't believe Third Uncle doesn't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor's grace almost never gave concubine sons and daughters the truth, that is the welfare of direct sons and daughters. So when this grace came out, it meant that the Emperor recognized Pei Chuyun as born of a remarried wife, that is, a direct daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this bottom line, generally no one will be serious again. Even if there is, it is the loss of interest, such as Pei Yu, who is qualified to be dissatisfied, and what does it have to do with others? Pei Yu himself likes this sister quite a bit, and others are chirping? Pei Qingyan didn't expect that someone would take this to make trouble when worshipping ancestors on Qingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Third Uncle said slowly: \"The Emperor's grace, also didn't clearly say that it is raised to a direct daughter. If the head of the family must raise it, is it missing a procedure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan frowned tightly, and Pei Yu's face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a procedure is missing, that is, the spirit tablet of Pei Chuyun's biological mother must be placed in the position of his regular wife, formally counted as a remarried wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if this is done, it will really make Pei Yu dissatisfied. Originally, Pei Chuyun would not ask for this, Pei Yu's bottom line was not provoked, and the brothers and sisters could naturally get along well. Once provoked to this step, Pei Yu would definitely explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan could not be sick to provoke his only son to turn against each other in order to raise Pei Chuyun's status. That is called being sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking this out in public is a typical trouble-making. Pei Qingyan's expression finally sank: \"But a mere form, you have to sweep the Emperor's face?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle said lightly: \"The so-called form, small is small, big is big. Our family stands, different from those upstarts, etiquette and regulations are the most important one? If you shake the rules today, and follow the top and bottom in the future, the family will be chaotic, and the Emperor will not sigh for you and me. Qingyan, as the head of the family, should be responsible for the family, not just look at one's own likes and dislikes. We, as clan elders, have the responsibility of remonstrance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan said coldly: \"Since Third Uncle is so particular about regulations, okay, Qingyan admires. Third Uncle should set an example as an elder. Your son's position as a long history should be removed first. For the sake of a mere position, he sent three thousand spirit stones to Zhang County Magistrate, shaking the rules, and following the top and bottom in the future, Great Qian will be chaotic, and friendly countries will not sigh for you and me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan continued: \"And the peach something that Third Uncle raised outside... it is really not in line with the etiquette. Since Third Uncle attaches so much importance to etiquette and rules, it is better to raise a sedan chair home early. If Third Aunt makes trouble, I will help to say, after all, our big family, rules first. Oh, by the way, Xiao Zhong's supervisor quota, I will talk to Instructor Sun, handle it according to the rules, my Third Uncle is upright, and doesn't like these things that don't follow the rules...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft...\" Pei Yu laughed, it was the first time he saw his father doing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle's face was distorted, and he lowered his voice, gnashing his teeth: \"Qingyan, you should know what Third Uncle's true meaning is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan had no expression: \"Don't know. Only know that the ancestor worship is imminent, and Third Uncle is looking for things for me to do temporarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle said: \"Past ancestors, do you know that you brought the Hehuan demon girl to the hall and showed it in front of their spirit tablets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan's face also changed. I really didn't expect that this guy would shout this out in public. Is this something that can be said in public!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was turning his strategy, he heard Pei Chuyun say faintly: \"So you recognize me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle gritted his teeth: \"Naturally recognize.\" \"Why do you recognize?\" Pei Chuyun stepped forward, her voice cold: \"Is it because you killed a woman with the same appearance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun herself didn't have a strong consciousness of \"revenge for her mother\". After all, she didn't feel a day of maternal love, and she didn't even know the person. But if her mother was really killed by someone, and the murderer was standing in front of her, then as long as she was a person, her emotions would be provoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for these people, she could have grown up under maternal love since she was a child, and she wouldn't be full of use, and she wouldn't even have a credible person. She wouldn't have been trained in men and women's affairs since she was sensible, and she would think about what kind of man to seduce every day, and how to use her original Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that a normal person's life? Who gave it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun stepped forward, her demonic energy flourished: \"Originally, I questioned the beginning and end... I didn't expect someone to jump out on their own. Say, besides you, who else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak!\" Pei Chuyun suddenly accelerated and grabbed Third Uncle's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle retreated in horror, thinking that Pei Chuyun's defeat of the first rookie was a play directed by Pei Qingyan to support his daughter. Unexpectedly, she was really so strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was old and hadn't reached Grade 3... The Grade 3 big hurdle was the highest threshold in this world after all. 99% of the people in the world were stuck here and couldn't make progress. Under the same cultivation, he was old and half-buried, how could he compare to Pei Chuyun's speed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slap!\" Seeing that Third Uncle couldn't avoid this claw, Pei Chuyun's attacking wrist was held by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun turned her head suddenly, but it was Pei Qingyan who grabbed her hand with a complex expression: \"Leave this matter to Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun lowered her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan sealed Third Uncle's mute acupoint with one finger, and said lightly: \"Pei Jingshan spread rumors, slandered family children, destroyed family unity, and damaged family reputation. According to family rules, abolish all positions in the clan, and confine for trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of servants rushed up and took Third Uncle away. Third Uncle \"woo-woo\" wanted to speak, but the mute acupoint was sealed and he couldn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like a quick cut, putting a hat of \"spreading rumors and slandering children\" on Third Uncle and taking him away, which is a warning to everyone present \"not to spread rumors\", which can be considered a thunderous means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Pei Chuyun lowered her eyes, still very disappointed in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this performance, Father knows who the murderer is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And knowing who the murderer is, he didn't take revenge... until others were going to make trouble in public, it was just \"dismissal, confinement\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun can understand that Pei Qingyan cannot mess around in this position. This treatment is really very normal from his perspective. But from the perspective of a father who wants to make up for his child, and a man who should take revenge for his lover, it is still very disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally opened her mouth in a low voice: \"You... know who it is, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan pursed his mouth and said in a low voice as if it was difficult to speak: \"Yun'er, the world is hard to satisfy. In Father's position, you can't make mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Pei Chuyun smiled ironically: \"Family, reputation, status... are always more important than other things, I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan didn't respond embarrassedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun whispered: \"I know, Master's calculation is more than yours. So wanting someone who can throw away various concerns and stand up for me even if they suffer... is just a dream, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan sighed: \"Why is this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words could be spoken, Third Uncle let out a scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Qingyan turned his head suddenly, only to see a servant who was escorting him punch Third Uncle's dantian, directly abolishing his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the servants who were escorting him together reacted, he suddenly reached out and threw Third Uncle toward Pei Chuyun's position: \"Revenge is only enjoyable if you do it yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun had a tacit understanding when Third Uncle screamed. She didn't look at it and took it over there. Third Uncle happened to be thrown at her, and Pei Chuyun patted her palms like a butterfly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"crackling\" sound, Third Uncle's bones were broken, and he fell to the ground, dying on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yu flew toward the servant's position, pointing with his sword: \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant wiped off the disguise, revealing Lu Xingzhou's handsome face: \"A-Lü's business is my Lu Xingzhou's business, Brother Pei, offended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yu's expression was complex: \"Brother Lu, you are in front of the Pei family ancestral hall, attacking the Pei family elders, this is self-isolation from Pei...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sister just said, \"Want someone who can throw away various concerns and stand up for me even if they suffer\", is it only a dream?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In general, yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are in this society and always have to take care of too many things. Pei Qingyan cannot be spared, and Pei Yu cannot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this person who is willing to stand up for his \"A-Lü\" even if he is self-isolated from the Pei family and may turn against each other in the future, isn't he right in front of him?\u003C\u002Fp>",2382,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5b2962c281e39a6fbc8b4f65832ac3b5082cb11b094ea8c116473e440590687d","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-164","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-162",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
