Chapter 133: The Pei Mansion has finally removed my name!

~8 min read 1,479 words

Night had fallen. A carriage stopped in front of the Lin Fu. Someone on the carriage kicked a thin youth directly off, and then the driver drove away!

The youth was about seventeen years old, with a high nose bridge, well-defined lips, and a slender figure. He wore a brocade robe with a jade belt and looked very handsome; passersby could tell at a glance that he came from an extraordinary background.

But after being pushed off the carriage and falling to the ground, the youth stood up, his apricot-like eyes glaring at the departing carriage, shouting angrily, "Fine! Today you drive me out of the mansion, one day I will definitely make you unable to climb high!"

After speaking, he patted the dust off his body and walked toward the Lin Fu gate, but the Lin Fu guards blocked him outside!

The youth wasn't annoyed, just waved to the guards and said, "Go report to your Madam, say her biological son has been swapped back!"

The guards looked at each other but didn't go to report.

Just as the youth was standing in a stalemate in front of the Lin Fu gate, another carriage stopped at the entrance. The person who stepped down from the carriage was the exhausted Qingdai!

Seeing Qingdai, the youth's eyes brightened, and he shouted anxiously, "Aunt Qingdai!"

"Yang Ge'er," Qingdai recognized the youth as Lin Jiaojiao's biological son, Pei Zhaoyang!

She couldn't help but feel a bit strange. She looked behind the youth but didn't see the Pei Mansion carriage, so she had to ask, "Why are you here?"

When Pei Zhaoyang was asked this, there was no trace of sorrow on his face; he even forgot the humiliation of being thrown off the carriage, just saying happily, "Aunt, the Pei Mansion has finally removed my name!"

Seeing his happy expression, Qingdai couldn't help but poke his forehead kindly. "You're happy, but did the Pei family make things difficult for you?"

"They didn't make things difficult," Pei Zhaoyang said with a sunny expression, smiling and showing his teeth. "Ever since that Young General Lin helped my mother—pfft pfft pfft! That's not my mother!"

Pei Zhaoyang immediately corrected himself. "After Young General Lin entered the door with Madam Pei, everyone in the house, especially grandmother, excitedly drank two bowls of life-prolonging medicine, got out of bed, went to the ancestral hall, and told Father to remove my name from the Pei family!"

"Your father agreed?" Qingdai opened her eyes wide in surprise. "Back then, he promised Madam that he would raise you well... is he really willing...?"

"He has to be willing even if he isn't!" Pei Zhaoyang said with a beaming smile. "Compared to his son who is a Piaoji Young General, I, a son who caused trouble, am definitely not as good as others!"

"Right now, they are having dinner with the famous Young General Lin! Whether I live or die, they don't care!" The more Pei Zhaoyang spoke, the happier he became, wishing he could change his surname immediately. "Aunt Qingdai, did Mother say when I can change my surname to Lin?"

"This matter still needs to be discussed," Qingdai just looked at him with soft eyes, nodding and smiling. "You have finally escaped the sea of misery. Let's go, follow me back to the mansion first."

Pei Zhaoyang didn't think much and looked up at the plaque on the Lin Fu gate.

Seeing that the plaque had changed from "Lin Shaojiangjun Mansion" directly to "Lin Fu," he was stunned for a moment, then soon laughed out loud. "Mother is truly fast, changing the plaque so quickly."

Qingdai looked up and couldn't help but smile slightly.

At this time, the smell of soy-braised pork elbows came from the courtyard. Seeing Pei Zhaoyang drooling, Qingdai urged, "Let's go, your mother must have prepared dinner, let's go in and have dinner quickly."

Pei Zhaoyang agreed and went into the Lin Fu happily with Qingdai.

Night fell. In the dining hall of the Lin Fu, a group of people were having dinner under the bright lights. Seeing all the dishes Pei Zhaoyang loved on the table, he ate until his mouth was oily, his face full of satisfaction.

"Why do you eat like a hungry wolf every time!" Guo Shi had just put down her bowl and chopsticks. Seeing Pei Zhaoyang eating the soy-braised pork elbow with his hands, his face covered in grease, she thought of Lin Tiezhu, who ate without speaking, and couldn't help but scold him a few times.

"That's because in the Pei family, he was never able to eat his fill." Qingdai helped him speak and picked up a piece of bone with meat and put it in his bowl.

"Steward Guo, look, his height can't compare to our Zhu Geer, and he doesn't even grow meat. It's clear that in the Pei family, he didn't eat many meals of meat, but suffered quite a bit."

"Yes, yes," Pei Zhaoyang said, his mouth stuffed full, his cheeks chewing like a hamster, his speech somewhat slurred. "Ever since I was 5 years old, after the adults argued and revealed my identity, I really never had a full meal!"

"Especially that old woman, grandmother, who often used hunger to punish me!" Pei Zhaoyang revealed some grievances, but compared to the grievances he had suffered over the years, the current food and meat were real.

"Grandmother and Madam Pei didn't like me. They kept taking several concubines for Father, letting those concubines give birth to younger brothers and sisters. When the second younger brother was born, they sent me to the frontier, giving me a useless title of Young General, and even called it training me."

"It's just a pity that the second younger brother died young." Speaking of this, Pei Zhaoyang put down the large bone in his hand, his eyes showing a trace of pity. "When the second younger brother was small, I held him a few times..."

"But every time grandmother saw me teasing the second younger brother, she said I wanted to kill him. The most serious time, I just made a small snake toy for the second younger brother, and grandmother actually said I wanted to strangle him!"

"She forced me to kneel in the ancestral hall, in front of the ancestors of the Pei family, hungry for three days and nights!" Pei Zhaoyang thought of the past and sighed helplessly.

This long sigh really didn't match his age.

Even Steward Guo was moved and picked up a piece of meat for him. "Sigh, you've really suffered, child, eat slowly."

A seventeen-year-old is still considered a half-grown child. Even in Lin Jiaojiao's eyes, a 17-year-old youth, if placed in modern times, would be in high school.

She still remembered when she was in high school, the male classmates in her class could all be considered big eaters!

Even for herself, 17 was not an age to be hungry. At that time, whatever she liked to eat, her mother would want to make it for every meal to help her grow.

Lin Tiezhu had never been hungry in the years he followed her, so he always had manners when eating. Even though his appetite increased after joining the army, eating in large mouthfuls was to hurry to the battlefield, not caused by hunger.

Originally, she thought the big fat boy she gave birth to had been swapped and could live like a legitimate son under Su Wanqiu, but she didn't expect that after Pei Aosong learned the truth, he let it slip, causing Pei Zhaoyang to suffer a lot.

When she first met Pei Zhaoyang in Yun Province, Southern Frontier, he was being bullied by the Great General, and it was Lu Zhenting who passed by on the street and stopped it, which allowed mother and son to recognize each other again.

Being her own biological child, Pei Zhaoyang inherited Lin Jiaojiao's pair of apricot eyes, his nature was pure and kind, he also loved soy-braised pork elbows and bone marrow, and even had a keen interest in medicine.

So when they were in Yun Province, Southern Frontier, Lin Jiaojiao often sent people to protect him openly and secretly.

And after the Great General of the Southern Frontier died on the battlefield, the frontier suffered joint attacks from four countries. As the nominal Young General, Pei Zhaoyang was often excluded by the soldiers.

Fortunately, Lin Tiezhu had the intention to join the army, built up military merit along the way, and used thunderous means with Lu Zhenting to suppress the improper military style.

From then on, Lin Jiaojiao began her planning—

Thinking of this, she picked up a piece of fragrant lamb chop and put it into Pei Zhaoyang's bowl, saying kindly, "Zhaoyang, just wait and see how your brother takes revenge for you." ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
