The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

When Yan Shu returned to the Yan family, she saw a carriage from the Yongding Marquis's mansion parked outside the door. She thought it was Liu Hanyue who came to the house again. However, when she came to the main hall, she saw an unexpected figure.

"Sister Qingwan, why are you here all of a sudden? I heard from the Second Young Master that you are pregnant. I wanted to go to the Marquis' Mansion to visit you, but there are too many things going on at home recently and I can't get away for the time being."

When Pei Qingwan saw Yan Shu coming back, she stood up and walked towards him with a smile on her face.

"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have missed it. Some time ago, I followed my mother and sister-in-law to the mountains to fast and pray. I stayed in the temple for more than ten days. Adding the journey back and forth, more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. I just returned to the mansion yesterday evening. I heard from the Marquis that your third brother was assassinated a while ago. I was in a hurry to visit him today and didn't bother to send a visiting card in advance."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Why do we need to send visiting cards when we usually visit each other? You can come anytime you want, but unfortunately I had to go out for something this morning."

Yan Shu held Pei Qingwan's arm and looked at her still flat belly.

"It's just right that you're here. I'll take your pulse."

"That's great. Your godmother and the third sister of the Liu family often praise you for your miraculous healing skills. You can cure any disease."

Xu Shuangxue, who had been accompanying them in the main hall, walked up to them with a smile on her face and said, "Little sister, please entertain Madam Hou well. I will go downstairs and prepare some refreshments for you."

Yan Shu said, "Sister-in-law, you have been working hard recently. You should go back to your room and have a good rest. The child needs someone to take care of him. I am here."

Liu Wenniang was guarding Yan Huai in the space, so the task of entertaining the female relatives naturally fell on Xu Shuangxue. Recently, she not only had to take care of the inner house but also had to take care of the children. She had obviously lost a lot of weight, and Yan Shu felt very distressed when he saw this.

Xu Shuangxue said, "The child is being looked after by two maids and has gone to bed. I have nothing to do now, so don't worry about me."

After saying that, Xu Shuangxue smiled politely at Pei Qingwan: "Madam Hou, please have a good chat with me, we will leave first."

After Pei Qingwan smiled and gestured, Xu Shuangxue took Xiaolian and left the main room.

There were only Yan Shu and Pei Qingwan in the main room. Yan Shu helped Pei Qingwan sit at the eight-immortals table and poured her a cup of hot tea.

Pei Qingwan reached out to take the teacup and asked with concern, "Is your third brother's injury recovered?"

Yan Shu sighed softly, "Third brother's condition is stable now, but he has not yet woken up. I heard that there is a great monk in Jialan Temple in Taihua Mountain who is not only proficient in Buddhism but also in the art of medicine. I plan to take Third Brother to Taihua Mountain to try his luck."

"Jialan Temple? Is the eminent monk you are talking about Master Hongyi?"

Yan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly held Pei Qingwan's hand: "Sister, do you know this person?"

Pei Qingwan nodded: "Master Hongyi and the Marquis are close friends regardless of age. When Yue'er was born with a foetal disease, the Marquis sent someone to invite Master Hongyi to come. It was because of Master Hongyi that Yue'er disguised himself as a woman and went to live in a nunnery that he was able to grow up safely."

After listening to Pei Qingwan's narration, Yan Shu was quite surprised.

Master Hongyi asked Liu Hanyue to dress up as a woman and stay away from the secular world. His purpose should be to avoid the eyes of heaven, but she remained skeptical about this.

Was Liu Hanyue's ability to grow up really related to Master Hongyi's method? Or was it just a coincidence? Could it be that Liu Hanyue was not destined to die young, so she survived by chance?

The topic of destiny is as confusing as the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first. It is difficult to comprehend the mystery unless you are an enlightened being.

My cheap dad once said that human destiny cannot be changed easily. She has always believed that the way of heaven is like a master system. Before everyone appears, their destiny code has been set in advance by this system. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to change their destiny unless there is external interference.

For example, her cheap father interfered with her fate. She had died three hundred years ago, but her cheap father nurtured her for three hundred years with the Soul-Calming Bell, and finally reincarnated her soul into the Yan family. If her cheap father had not chosen to change her fate three hundred years ago, her life trajectory would have been very different. So there is indeed a certain chance of changing one's fate, but opportunities and costs coexist, and someone has to pay the price to achieve the balance maintained by the way of heaven.

So Jiang Ci, Yan Yao, Ye Lanxuan and the Yan family, all those people whose fates were entangled with hers, their destinies were changed because of her change, so what was the final price?

Thinking of this, an idea flashed through my mind...

Perhaps meeting Master Hongyi is also an opportunity for me.

Pei Qingwan said, "When I return, I will ask the Marquis to write a letter for you to take to the Jialan Temple. Master Hongyi should be able to see the Marquis' letter and it will have some effect."

Yan Shu looked at Pei Qingwan with gratitude: "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see Master Hongyi at Jialan Temple. Now I don't have to worry about this with the Marquis's letter of recommendation. Sister Qingwan, thank you so much."

Pei Qingwan reached out and gently patted the back of Yan Shu's hand.

"Compared to your kindness to us, what we did was just a small favor. If Sister Shu'er hadn't treated Yue'er's illness, he wouldn't be able to live like a normal person now, and the Marquis and I wouldn't have met so smoothly."

Meeting Pei Qingwan's sincere gaze, Yan Shu felt very ashamed.

"In fact, I did these things with selfish motives. I believe Sister Qingwan already knows that the Marquis gave me the military token of the Jibei Army."

Pei Qingwan smiled and nodded: "My Lord has never concealed these things from me. Now that the political situation is turbulent, the military token is a hot potato for us. It is the safest decision for the Liu family to give the military token to you for safekeeping. By the way, I came to the mansion today for another matter."

After saying this, Pei Qingwan took out a round jade from her bosom: "This jade is something I have worn since I was a child in the Su family. Since I passed away, it has been kept by the Marquis. The Marquis said that you should come to Beijing after the New Year. I originally wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing to meet my parents, but now I am the stepmother of the Yongding Marquis' Mansion. If I go to Beijing at this time, I am afraid that I will be targeted by various forces and become a bargaining chip to threaten the Marquis. So after thinking about it, I can't leave Xinyang Mansion in the current situation."

Yan Shu immediately understood what Pei Qingwan meant.

"Sister, do you want me to help pass on a message to Prime Minister Su and his wife?"

Pei Qingwan took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Yan Shu.

"My embroidery was taught by my mother, and the small words on it were also written by me. After my parents saw this handkerchief and the jade pendant, even though they thought that reincarnation was too unbelievable, they were not pedantic people, and they would believe it after a little thought."

Yan Shu took the handkerchief and jade pendant and said, "Don't worry, Sister Qingwan. When I arrive in Beijing, I will personally hand these two things over to Prime Minister Su and his wife."

Pei Qingwan looked deeply at Yan Shu and reminded him meaningfully, "The Su family still has a certain amount of power in the capital. The Marquis said that if Jiang Ci can get the support of the Su family, even without the help of the Grand Princess, he can still stabilize the situation in the capital."

Yan Shu's expression paused slightly. He originally thought that Pei Qingwan just wanted her to help deliver some things so that Su's parents who were far away in the capital would know that their daughter was still alive. He didn't expect that she and Liu Bin wanted her to use the Su family to deal with the eldest princess?
