After my rebirth, I became the Prince Regent's favorite

The old lady frowned, Xiao Sheng had indeed gone too far.

He was afraid that he would attract criticism for indulging Lin Ruoyou in this way.

It seemed that she had to remind him.

The two of them went into the teahouse and waited. About half an hour later, Xiao Sheng arrived.

He lifted up his brocade robe and sat on a chair and said, "The Pei family in Shicheng has never interacted with this king. Why did you come to Beijing this time?"

Pei Jin hurriedly explained: "Cousin, don't you know? Our Shicheng suffered a natural disaster, and many people were destroyed. My aunt and I finally escaped, and then we came to join you!"

Xiao Sheng nodded: "The imperial court has issued pensions so that people can rebuild their homes. You can go back now!"

Pei Jin subconsciously refused: "No, I want to stay with you and my aunt. We are your only relatives in this world. How can you cruelly drive us away?"

The old lady also said with a complex expression: "Yes, Sheng'er, do we have to be so quarrelsome between mother and son? I was really sorry for you back then, but I also have my own reasons!"

"Bang!" Xiao Sheng slammed the tea cup on the ground, and the porcelain fragments suddenly flew everywhere.

A small piece flew to the old lady's hand and directly cut the back of her hand.

"Ah!" She screamed in pain.

Pei Jin quickly rushed to her and said worriedly: "Aunt, the back of your hand is bleeding. You have to call a doctor to help you deal with it!"

The old lady casually held it down with the brocade handkerchief and said, "It's not in the way, and it doesn't hurt too much!"

She thought Xiao Sheng would let the government doctor come in, but she didn't think so. He didn't show any sign at all.

He even said with a cold expression: "The memorial tablet of my mother-in-law is being placed in the imperial mausoleum. Don't dare to pretend to be someone who looks the same as her!"

The old lady's heart tightened with anger, but she also understood that this was an indisputable fact.

When she escaped, the royal family still set up a memorial tablet for her.

Except for Xiao Sheng and the Pei family, no one knew that she was still alive in this world.

She covered her face and cried: "Sheng'er, I'm sorry for you. I had no choice but to stay. If I stay here any longer, I will go crazy!"

Xiao Sheng closed his eyes forcefully, the hatred on his face undisguised.

He said distantly: "Since you have left, why bother coming back? You should know better than anyone else that if the news that you are still alive in this world spreads, the royal family will definitely not let you go, let alone the Pei family! "

He didn't say that he would be implicated because no one in the world dared to touch him.

Pei Jin subconsciously argued: "You are the powerful regent. Everyone in the royal family is afraid of you. How dare you touch your biological mother and concubine?"

Xiao Sheng laughed directly: "Why do you want to help? From the day she threw me away, I was already dead!"

The old lady was so frightened that she trembled all over. She didn't hesitate anymore and quickly stood up and said: "Okay, I'll leave now and I will never disturb you again!"

Pei Jin hurriedly caught up with her, hugged her tightly and said, "Aunt, now that we are penniless, where can we go? Even if my cousin disowns you, you are a member of the Pei family after all, and he must not turn you away. Otherwise, those imperial censors will accuse him of not caring about family ties!"

Not to mention, these words gave the old lady hope.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Sheng: "If I go to the imperial court tomorrow and tell you that Xiao Sheng does not recognize relatives from your mother's clan, do you think the censors in the court will let Lin Ruoyou go?"

Xiao Sheng immediately frowned. He didn't care about the impeachment of those censors, he just regarded them as farting.

But we can't help but worry about Xiao You'er's reputation!

He must not, nor allow, let her be criticized back and forth by those censors.

He said solemnly: "You can stay in the other courtyard, but you must be my aunt. In addition, you have to figure out your own monthly expenses. Don't rely on me!"

After leaving for many years, how could he let her come back to enjoy happiness and pampering?

What you want, you have to earn on your own.

He, Xiao Sheng, is not a money bag for them to spend money.

He can only spend his money on his wife!

Thinking of Lin Ruoyou, a soft color flashed across his eyebrows.

Pei Jin wanted to refute, but was stopped by the old lady.

She said calmly: "Okay, I don't have to worry about how we live our lives, as long as we can give us a place to hide!"

Xiao Sheng ignored him, turned around and left quickly.

After his figure disappeared, the old lady returned to the other courtyard without saying a word.

Pei Jin was trembling with fear, his eyes filled with fear.

Walking to the door of the other courtyard, she said subconsciously: "Aunt, I have something to do, so I'm going out first!"

The old lady stopped her sternly: "Stop!"

Aunt Qian also said immediately: "Miss Jin, the old lady is angry, please stop making her angry!"

When Pei Jin was pulled back into the house by her, she heard the old lady frowning and yelling: "Kneel down!"

"Auntie, calm down!" Pei Jin was trembling all over.

The old lady looked up and down at her clothes of excellent material and the exquisite jewelry in her hair and said, "Where did you get these things from?"

Pei Jin answered hesitantly: "My cousin gave it to me!"

"Bang!" The old lady slammed the table with hatred.

She said with a face filled with disappointment: "Pei Jin, you grew up with me. When did you learn to lie? Why didn't I know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Aunt Qian and said, "Bring me the ruler!"

Pei Jin was so frightened that she shouted anxiously: "Aunt, don't hit me. Although my cousin didn't buy this dress for me, it's almost the same. It was given to me by Aida, the princess of Xijiang who lives in his house." Give it to me!”

The old lady was immediately stunned: "Princess of Xijiang?"

Pei Jin nodded with tears in her eyes: "She was the one who sent me to my cousin and got to know him. I didn't want to accept him at first, but my clothes were stained by mud and water!"

The old lady glared at her angrily: "Go and kneel outside!"

"Yes!" Pei Jin withdrew with aggrieved expression.

She hated Lin Ruoyou very much at this time. The reason why her cousin disowned her aunt must have been her instigation.

This bitch, she was so despicable and shameless in order to gain her cousin's love.

No, she must be punished severely.

At this time, Nanny Qian's words were heard in the room: "Old madam, Miss Jin is still young and doesn't understand the stakes here. Don't be too harsh on her. The little girl has delicate skin and tender flesh. Don't kneel down." broken!"

The old lady sighed helplessly: "Do you think I don't feel sorry for her? But if I don't teach her a lesson, she is afraid that she will cause a big disaster on her own in the future. Sheng'er didn't want to acknowledge me at all. She was the one who caused it. , embarrass me!"

Nanny Qian frowned and said: "I think the incident back then still has a grudge in the heart of the prince. Since he left you in another courtyard, there should be room for change. Old madam, please don't lose heart. It's not that sincerity can only lead to gold and stone." Are you open? You are a mother and a son, and he will definitely not ignore you for too long!"
