Chapter 532 - 534: Seeking Help
"Eh, this woman seems somewhat familiar, as if I’ve seen her somewhere before," Pei Haolan stroked his chin, continuing to scrutinize the woman’s features closely.
Pei Siyang reminded, "If I’m not mistaken, this woman was with our Fifth Brother years ago."
"Ah, I remember now, she’s the woman Fifth Brother hid in the brothel. Later on, for some unknown reason, she suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Fifth Brother shut himself in, drinking sullenly for a month," Pei Haolan suddenly realized.
Shao He smiled, his lips blooming into a beautiful smile, and said in a soft voice, "I didn’t expect you to drown your sorrows in wine for a woman?"
"Don’t listen to his nonsense," Pei Huaian retorted.
Shao He didn’t say much more, as he was well aware that this was not the occasion to delve into the matter.
"Since you all have mentioned it, then I have no need to hide anything," Pei Jingyi stepped forward and said with a bow, "Reporting to Father Emperor, this woman was brought into the imperial palace by your son."
"And why did you bring her into the palace?"
"She had been kneeling in front of my residence, begging passionately, hoping to offer blessings to Fifth Brother. Reluctantly, I brought her into the palace, never imagining that today she would end up lying here as a corpse."
Pei Jingyi was filled with immense regret, his eyes revealing a look of guilt.
