Chapter 183 Big Brother's Appearance
This frightened everyone and they all took the paper and pen quickly.
It was worth it to exchange a few words for the safe career of my master and his sons. As for what would happen tomorrow after I finished writing, that was not something I should consider at this moment.
Seeing that everyone was writing honestly, the eldest princess said to the ladies around her:
"It's too noisy here. The wintersweets in the back garden are just blooming. Ladies, let's go enjoy the flowers."
"Very good!"
The ladies who were not asked to write their reviews stood up one by one and walked towards the back garden.
Su Li and the eldest princess walked side by side. When they reached a secluded place, Su Li burst out laughing.
"Princess, today's show is truly wonderful. But..."
She paused, and couldn't help but worry about the princess.
"But if you act this way, Prince Jing and the Imperial Concubine will not let you off!"
The princess smiled and said nonchalantly:
"I'm not afraid of them!"
As she spoke, the princess picked up a plum blossom, put it to her nose and sniffed it, but her face was extremely lonely:
"When my brother's crime broke out, everything happened with such force. Witnesses and evidence all surfaced overnight, leaving my brother convicted without even a chance to defend himself. I was young and terrified. I rushed into the palace to ask my mother what was going on, but when I arrived, she had already hanged herself."
"For all these years, I have never believed that my brother and mother would do such a thing. It was not until Pei Heng said something to me a few months ago that I finally understood."
"General?" Su Li was stunned.
When did Pei Heng have private contact with the eldest princess?
"I did not mean!"
The eldest princess glanced at Su Li with a hint of smile in her eyes.
"Pei Heng has never met me privately. We only met on the way back from Huguo Temple that time."
"Pei Heng said that he has been investigating his brother's case for many years. He said that he was framed three years ago because he found some evidence in his brother's case."
Su Li remembered that on the way back that day, Pei Heng did talk for a long time in front of the princess's carriage.
It turned out to be the case.
"Pei Heng said that he has never given up the investigation since he recovered. Now he and Prince Su have made some progress, and I need to cooperate with him. I will attract Prince Jing's attention in public, and they will be able to better investigate the case in secret. This time, my brother's case will definitely be overturned."
After hearing what the princess said, Su Li realized that Pei Heng had done so much without telling her.
"Back then, I watched helplessly as my brother and mother died. This time, I will never allow anyone to harm my brother's only child again! Imperial Concubine and Prince Jing, their good days are almost over!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the plum blossom in her hand broke with a snap.
"Princess, let's go together this time!"
Su Li held the eldest princess's hand tightly, and at this moment the two of them were in perfect harmony.
After finishing the business, the princess suddenly changed the subject and looked at Xu Jing who was socializing with Qin not far away and said:
"Is that your cousin?"
Su Li looked back.
Xu Jing was still wearing the same white dress as she had for a thousand years, standing under a red plum tree, looking absolutely picturesque.
"Yes."
"She is truly a beauty," the eldest princess praised.
But Su Li could sense something different in her voice. Just as she was pondering it, she heard the eldest princess say:
"Such a beauty, and a talented woman renowned in Shengjing, I wonder which family is so lucky to marry her?"
Su Li frowned.
This cousin, you really can’t judge a person by their appearance.
"We've discussed marriages with both the Sun and Shen families before, but nothing came of it. My mother has been so worried about her. But her ambitions are so high that no ordinary family could possibly catch her eye!"
When it comes to Xu Jing, Su Li really has a bad temper and does not hold back in her words.
"Sun Mansion? But is it Zhong Huai?"
"Yes!"
"What about the Shen Mansion?"
"It's Lord Shen Yanqing. I've met Lord Shen before, and he's truly a rare and dignified gentleman. Both families had already made plans, but Lord Shen was injured by bandits while going up the mountain to buy betrothal gifts. Xu Jing declined the match, citing unforeseen circumstances."
"As for me, I'd rather refuse. Xu Jing is really not worthy of Lord Shen."
After Su Li finished speaking, she saw a look on the eldest princess's face that she couldn't understand.
"Princess?"
"Hmm?" The princess came back to her senses, her eyes gleaming as she looked in high spirits. "It seems fate has decided this. A gentleman like Lord Shen has another good match waiting for him!"
After saying that, he pulled Su Li and said:
"Come on, I just got some good tea, please go and taste it."
As soon as Su Li and the eldest princess left, Xu Jing looked around and searched everywhere in the garden.
By the water in the garden, Pei Huan and Xie An were skipping stones.
"Last time I heard that you were being chased and fell off a cliff, I was so excited. If I had known it would be so fun, I would have gone with you guys."
Xie An's face was full of longing.
Huan Ge'er rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you try dancing and see if it's fun?"
"Hehehe, that's all I said! You don't know how worried I was. But by the time I got the news, you were all already back. But don't worry, I told my brother-in-law to investigate the case thoroughly! He will definitely catch those who wanted to assassinate you and give you justice!"
"You know my brother-in-law, right? Lord Meng from the Ministry of Justice!"
Xie An chattered incessantly.
A group of guys jumped out from behind him, and the two leaders were Li Xun and Li Shou.
Xie An immediately stood up as if facing a formidable enemy, opened his horse stance, raised his fists and palms, and said:
"Hey! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're in numbers! Even if there are ten more of us, the two of us brothers can still take you all down! Didn't you get beaten enough last time?"
Huan Ge'er turned his head and gave him a cold look before continuing to throw his stones.
"Pei Huan! Pei Huan, come over and help!"
Xie An took two steps back uneasily.
Li Xun and Li Shou smiled disdainfully, pushed Xie An away, and walked up to Huan Ge'er.
Unexpectedly, the two men bowed and shouted at Huan Ge'er with heroic spirit like heroes:
"Big brother!"
The group of boys behind him also followed suit and clasped their fists:
"Big brother!"
The ladies who came today are all nobles of the imperial court, and these boys are all sons of noble families, who are used to playing tricks with Li Xun and Li Shou on weekdays.
But that day at Prince Heng's Mansion, everyone saw how ruthless and accurate Huan Ge'er was in beating people, and they were all convinced by his beating.
Furthermore, Pei Heng now commanded the Jingji Camp, defending the capital. Who wouldn't want to please General Pei's beloved son? Seeing that the Li Xun brothers of Prince Heng's family both called him "Big Brother," they naturally followed suit.
"Brother?!" Xie An jumped up in shock.
Li Xu said, "Whoever has the stronger fist is the boss. This is our rule. Xie An, you are no match for me! But Pei Huan, we are all convinced!"
Li Shou also said: "Yes! We are all convinced. From now on, Pei Huan is our big brother!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and all the children rushed to Huan Ge'er, clasping their hands and shouting in unison:
"Big brother!"
Huan Ge'er glanced at them indifferently.
At this moment, a chubby figure on the grass next to him suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, big brother? Pei Huan, you bastard born from a concubine, you're actually showing off here!"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Bing'er and Tuan'er from the Marquis of Jinyuan's Mansion.
The Marquis's wife, the second aunt and Gu were thrown out by the people in the princess's mansion. Bing'er and Tuan'er didn't know about it yet and were still wandering in the back garden.
When Li Xun and Li Shou heard this, they were shocked and said, "Where did this little kid come from? How dare he make fun of their eldest brother!"
"Guys, fuck him!"
Li Xun was a tall and strong man. As soon as he called out, all the little brats rushed over and beat up Bing'er and Tuan'er by riding on them!
They were beaten until they cried for their parents.
At this time, the servant came over and whispered something in Li Xun's ear. Li Xun kicked Bing Ge'er and said:
"Your grandmother and your mother were beaten up and thrown out by my aunt. They haven't come to look for you for such a long time. They must not want you anymore. Hahahaha, come on, someone, throw these two unwanted children into the water for me."
