She will avenge the Pei family for him.

How will she avenge him?

Pei Jingyao tilted his head blankly, the mist in front of his eyes blinded his vision, and in the blink of an eye, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he was held in a warm embrace.

Yun Si's voice sounded in his ears, his tone full of pity: "It's okay to cry, cry."

Pei Jingyao let her hold him, he was like a lifeless doll. His body trembled slightly due to sobbing, Yun Si put one hand around his waist, and the other hand gently patted his thin back again and again like coaxing a child, so Pei Jingyao cried even harder. He grabbed Yun Si's collar with both hands, buried his head in her

shoulders and cried for a long, long time, as if he had cried out all the grievances of the past three years. Back then, everyone scolded the Pei family for being pedantic and incompetent.

Master Pei had been upright and incorruptible all his life, but he ended up like this.

When he was convicted, no colleague except the prime minister redressed his grievances. Unfortunately, there were only a few officials left from the prime minister's lineage, and she failed to save the Pei Mansion. On

the day when the Pei Mansion was raided, there was still one month before Pei Jingyao's wedding. That day, the guards broke into the Pei Mansion and took away his mother, husband and sister. Seeing this, Pei Jingyao hurriedly dropped the embroidery in her hand and ran to the hall, but was stopped by her father who came.

The crying younger brother was stuffed into his arms by his tearful father. The fifteen-year-old Pei Jingyao widened his eyes, and he didn't know what had happened.

"Dad, what happened?"

"Yao'er, take Ying'er away quickly! The Pei family depends on you in the future. Promise dad that you must live."

Pei Jingyao was panicked. He looked at the maids and servants who ran away outside the yard, then turned to look at his father's desperate eyes, and finally nodded while holding his younger brother.

That day, Pei Taifu was imprisoned. Pei Jingyao secretly ran out from the back holding Pei Xiaoying. He didn't know who to look for, so he had to take his younger brother to Liang Mansion.

That was his future wife's home. Liang Qiu, the second lady of Liang Mansion, was the one who had made an engagement with him.

He had never even stepped into the threshold of Liang Mansion. All he got was a letter of withdrawal of engagement thrown on the ground and Liang Qiu's mocking cold eyes.

"Go as far as you can. Don't dream that my Liang family will be your place."

Liang Qiu originally valued the power of Pei Mansion and agreed to this marriage. Now that Pei Mansion has declined, she will not get involved in it. More and more people were looking at him around, whispering in their mouths. Pei Jingyao looked at the letter of withdrawal of engagement covered with mud and led his younger brother away step by step.

Pei Jingyao had embroidered the wedding dress for seven months by herself, and then it was burned clean by a candle.

His life with Pei Xiaoying fell from the clouds to the quagmire. This was the first time he heard someone say that they would avenge him.

………………

Yun Si gently patted the thin figure in his arms who was shaking with sobs, his eyes full of pity. Pei Jingyao's tears wet her clothes, which made Yun Si feel even more distressed.

"Take a nap if you are tired of crying. I will watch over you."

Pei Jingyao didn't want to sleep, but he cried for too long, until he couldn't speak, and his physical strength was exhausted.
