Chapter 438 - 440: Investigating the Deeds of the Imperial Uncle
After finishing their early meal, Pei Huaian invited them to the garden for tea tasting, where Pei Jingyi casually brought up the matter of Abbot Yuan Hui.
"Who would have thought that Abbot Yuan Hui, a man respected by many, would turn out to be a murderous bandit capable of killing without blinking an eye? Truly, one can’t judge a book by its cover."
Pei Huaian followed up by saying, "Indeed, the human heart is unfathomable."
"But he did predict many things that hadn’t yet happened. How would you explain that? Could it be that someone was tipping him off?" Pei Jingyi deliberately led the conversation in that direction.
Pei Chengye’s expression flashed with panic upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure.
Clearing his throat, he said, "Perhaps it was just good luck that he made the right guess."
Pei Huaian glanced at him, picked up his teacup, and said nothing more.
The conversation continued with each of them chipping in until Pei Siyang got up to leave first, quickly followed by Pei Haolan.
Only Pei Huaian, Pei Chengye, and Pei Jingyi were left in the garden.
"Little brother, you’re quite the center of attention right now. Just make sure nothing happens to you."
Pei Jingyi replied with a smile, "If nobody schemes against me, how could I possibly encounter any trouble? Right, Second Brother?"
