Chapter 334 My Heart is Still Pure
"Zhu'er greets Brother Xiuyan." As soon as Pei Yuzhu saw Di Xiuyan, her almond eyes were full of spring and her face flushed.
She bowed to the Regent in a pretentious manner, then squatted aside, hoping that others would help her up because of her well-behaved character.
"Xiao, please don't be polite. Please take a seat." Di Xiuyan said in a very calm tone, deliberately pointing out her identity. She was now deposed by Pei Lingsong and could no longer be considered a member of the Pei family.
"Mr. Xiao?"
"Brother Xiu Yan, I..." Pei Yuzhu's face changed. My last name is Pei, how could Brother Xiu Yan call me Xiao?
Could it be that Brother Xiu Yan also cares about a woman's status and position, and minds that I have lost my position as a princess?
What about Mu Wanyan? Mu Wanyan came from a small country and was an abandoned woman, but he still married her?
Pei Yuzhu looked displeased and thought: I have only been demoted temporarily. When the time comes and things change in Dafeng Kingdom, won’t the court belong to my brother and me?
Brother Xiu Yan, one day, you will look up to me.
The servant brought tea and snacks. Pei Yuzhu looked up and found that there was a man sitting next to Di Xiuyan.
He was handsome and had an extraordinary demeanor. She looked at him carefully, and immediately felt disappointed in her almond-shaped eyes. Wasn't this man the cynical, unruly, and most vicious young master of the Gu family - Gu Yeran?
Pei Yuzhu shuddered and felt vaguely uneasy.
What a bummer, why is Gu Yeran here?
When I confess my feelings to Brother Xiu Yan later, will Gu Yeran laugh at me?
As thoughts were churning in his mind, Di Xiuyan's cold voice rang out again: "I wonder why Xiao came here in person? Is it related to this prince, or is it related to the court?"
Pei Yuzhu took the tea handed to her by the servant, took a sip, and then she mustered up the courage to speak:
"Zhu'er heard that Brother Xiu Yan got engaged last night. He promised her countless headgear, silk, gold, silver, jewelry, and even shops and fertile land... The more Zhu'er thought about it, the sadder she felt. She felt sorry for Brother Xiu Yan."
Gu Yeran raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Why? You don't think your cousin is worth it? Is it because he didn't promise it to you that you can't bear it?"
"You--" Pei Yuzhu wanted to be angry, but was afraid that it would affect her image in Di Xiuyan's heart, so she held back.
She patiently spoke to Di Xiuyan aggrievedly: "Brother Xiuyan, there are some things I don't know if I should say."
"Since you don't know whether you should talk about it or not, then don't talk about it." Di Xiuyan could foresee that she would not be able to spit out ivory from her dog's mouth, just like her brother.
Pei Yuzhu: "But I still want to tell it!"
Emperor Xiuyan: “…”
Gu Yeran: "..." He is really shameless. No wonder my cousin wants to keep me here to help. To deal with those who are thick-skinned, I am the only one who can rely on you.
Pei Yuzhu looked at Gu Yeran and said tactfully, "I wonder if Mr. Gu could give me a favor and let me talk to Brother Xiuyan alone about my true feelings?"
"It's inconvenient!" Gu Yeran and Di Xiuyan said in unison.
After a long while, Di Xiuyan said: "Yeran is my cousin. Xiao can say whatever he wants. He doesn't need to avoid it. "He has to stay and help me.
"However, I want to remind you that there is no private relationship between you and me, and I am already engaged... Therefore, I only want to hear about official business today. I hope you can understand."
Gu Yeran curled his lips and smiled, and lifted Pei Yuzhu up first, "Don't worry, cousin, I'm still here. I believe Xiao won't say anything out of line, and we will definitely only talk about business."
He looked at Pei Yuzhu, "Right? Yuzhu?"
Pei Yuzhu is selectively deaf, she comes straight to the point:
"Mu Wanyan has been married before, but Brother Xiu Yan insisted on marrying her. He also gave her countless gold, silver, jewelry, fertile land and shops. It can be seen that Brother Xiu Yan is not a worldly person."
"You even treat an abandoned woman as a treasure, so why don't you open your eyes and take a look at Zhu'er? After all, I am still a girl..."
"Pa——" Before he could finish his words, Gu Yeran slapped the stone table in front of him heavily. The stone table made a dull sound, which scared Pei Yuzhu.
"Pei Yuzhu, watch your mouth. Who do you say is an abandoned woman? Mu Wanyan? What qualifications do you have to say that about her?" Wasn't it you who framed her on her wedding night?
"Did you forget to use tooth medicine today? Your mouth is so dirty? Why don't you look in the mirror yourself?"
"I tell you, you are not even as good as Yanyan's fingers." Thinking of a little girl who came thousands of miles to marry a prince, but was given away to someone else by her husband's family, I felt sorry for Yanyan.
Gu Yeran cursed more and more fiercely, wishing to help Mu Wanyan get revenge directly. However, he was young after all, and his thoughts were not thorough enough, because if he did so, wouldn't that be indirectly acknowledging Mu Wanyan's identity?
Pei Yuzhu was also furious. She knocked over the teacup and cursed: "Gu Yeran, who do you think you are? How dare you scold me? You are the prince of Dafeng..."
She changed her words when she was about to say this: "Don't forget, no matter what my status is, I am the blood of the Pei family."
"Don't look down on others or you will regret it later."
Emperor Xiuyan: "Yeran is right. You have been demoted to a commoner. Don't mention your identity as a princess all the time. This is disrespectful to the emperor."
His expression also changed, and he said in a deep voice: "My princess is called Mu Chuyan, not Wanyan. Although they look similar, they are not the same person. Xiao Shi, please don't make a mistake."
"Moreover, Wanyan is noble and devoted to the Chen Palace, but she didn't expect to die early. Such a woman should be a role model for the Dafeng Kingdom. How can she be an abandoned woman?"
Di Xiuyan turned his gaze to Gu Yeran, wanting him to help him continue to curse with some unpleasant words.
Gu Yeran immediately understood, opened his mouth and started to talk:
"Pei Yuzhu, have you lost your memory? You were caught in bed with someone else that day, and the young masters in the capital saw you naked."
"The emperor despised you for bringing shame to the royal family, so he demoted you to a commoner. Have you forgotten or do you simply not care?"
Pei Yuzhu: "I...I..." She was speechless for a moment and couldn't think of what to say.
I had just said that Mu Wanyan was an abandoned woman, so why was I attacked by two men at the same time?
After thinking for a moment, Pei Yuzhu took out a handkerchief, covered her face, and started crying to Di Xiuyan.
"Brother Xiu Yan, I didn't come here to talk about the past. People eat all kinds of grains, so who can be without faults?"
She knew how to read people's expressions and knew that Mu Wanyan was not to be provoked, so she changed her tactics: "Yuzhu didn't come here to frame Mu Wanyan. Sister Wanyan is noble, kind and gentle. I have received her kindness. I admire Sister Wanyan in my heart."
Hearing this, the two men glanced at Pei Yuzhu at the same time and felt a little relieved.
However, the next second.
Pei Yuzhu showed an extremely brilliant smile again, flattering Di Xiuyan and said: "Brother Xiuyan is broad-minded. I know you don't care about a woman's chastity and reputation. You are different from those ordinary people, so..."
Pei Yuzhu held it in for a long time before finally saying the second half of the sentence, "How can a woman's chastity be contained under a skirt? Everything depends on character, family background, and taste."
"Zhu'er was young and was indeed bewitched by Hua Wuzui, but I just played around that one time and never looked at anyone else since then."
"Brother Xiu Yan, I just made a mistake once, and I was seduced by him... In fact, from beginning to end, I have only loved Brother Xiu Yan, and my heart is still pure."
"Pfft——" Gu Yeran was the first to laugh, he really couldn't hold it back.
