Splendid lovesickness

Mu Xuan turned around with a dazed expression, "You're back. The plum blossoms are really blooming this year."

The plum blossoms in the plum vase had long since withered, and Pei Zhan looked at her suspiciously as he spoke endlessly.

Mu Xuan smiled, and suddenly stretched out her arms to reveal her snow-white wrists and said to Pei Zhan, "Young Master, do you think the pair of bracelets on your hands look good?"

It was a pair of crystal clear blood jade, Pei Zhan's eyes became sharp, and his breathing became obviously short, "What did Mu Qingqing tell you before?"

Mu Xuan stared at Pei Zhan intently, and after looking at it for a while, she said, "Master, do you recognize this bracelet?" Her tone had changed from doubt to affirmation.

Pei Zhan sat down at the pear wood table, stretched out his hand to pour himself a glass of white wine, and said after pondering for a while, "This bracelet was originally my mother's dowry!"

Mu Xuan was taken aback. She looked at Pei Zhan suspiciously. How did Mrs. Pei's dowry get into her father's hands?

Pei Zhan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said with a sneer, "When I first saw this pair of bracelets in Mu's house, I was just amazed at first. After all, blood jade is really rare, and it's even rarer to get a pair. I can't bear it." I couldn't help looking a few more times, only to realize that this bracelet is exactly the same as my mother's dowry."

Mu Xuan was slightly taken aback. Jade is a natural gemstone. Each piece of jade has a different head and color. There are almost no two pieces of jade that are exactly the same in the world, let alone blood jade.

"This bracelet was made by a famous craftsman hired by my grandfather with a lot of money. It was brought to Pei's house as my mother's dowry. My mother's boudoir name is engraved inside the bracelet. You can tell if it belongs to my mother or not. I was also skeptical at first. Why did my mother's jewelry end up in the Mu family's hands, so I went back home and told my mother about it. Unexpectedly, when she heard the news, she was filled with grief and indignation, and passed out on the spot. "

Having said that, Pei Zhan's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his fingers unconsciously.

Mu Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"As soon as my mother woke up, she said that the Mu family has betrayed your father and our orphans and widows."

It turned out that Mu Xuan's father, Mu Chengen, and Pei Zhan's father, Pei Xiu, were friends at the beginning, and both of them were well-known wealthy businessmen in Southern Chu.Pei Zhan's father inadvertently offended the powerful, and was found an excuse to go to jail.Pei Zhan was still young, and his mother was pregnant, so the whole family asked Mu Chengen to help them manage their relationship outside.

Every time Mu Chengen came back, he said that the matter was about to be completed, and he would be released in a short time.The Mu family spent a lot of money, and Pei's mother also took out her dowry. In the end, the Pei family almost went bankrupt.But in the end, Pei Xiu couldn't be rescued. He was sentenced to be executed after autumn for selling salt without permission.

Mu Chengen seemed quite guilty at the time. Although Pei's mother was sad, she didn't feel any resentment. After all, Pei's father had committed a serious crime, and it would be his fate if he couldn't be saved.

After Pei's father was beheaded, Pei's mother fell ill due to excessive grief, and the young Pei Zhan abandoned his studies and went into business, provoking the entire Pei family.

Mu Xuan's face became paler and paler, and she remembered many things from her childhood.The younger brother was still there before the age of five, and the Liu family did not enter the house. In summer, the family enjoyed themselves happily, sitting by the waterside pavilion in Fengheyuan, peeling lotus pods and eating lotus seeds, and eating shabu-shabu around the red clay stove in winter.

She was the first child in the family, and even though she was a girl, her father's affection for her was undiminished.Send her to study, and invite her the best luthier in Nanchu.She was naughty when she was a child, and sometimes made her mother angry and lose her temper, but as long as she hid in her father's arms and acted like a baby, all the big things were solved.

When she was 12 years old, she was still the delicate daughter of the family, but Pei Zhan had to give up her studies to shoulder the responsibilities of the family.And the culprit of all this is actually his seemingly loyal father.
