This villain has become a ghost

Xia Ruozhi was confused and asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

"You will know when you go."

Nangong Wanqing thought for a moment and added, "...it would be best if you could let General Chang Geng go with you."

Xia Ruozhi: "Ah? Why..."

Qiu Shuangwan: "Stop talking nonsense and go."

Xia Ruozhi: “…”

Xia Ruozhi: "Oh."

Pei Duo thinks he is not a good person.

He lived in Quanzhou since he was a child. His parents died early, and he only had Aunt Xun to depend on.

When he was young, Aunt Xun was still very young and beautiful, and many ruffians coveted her.

After the famine in Quanzhou, the law became a mere decoration for the common people. Many young and beautiful girls were sent to the governor's mansion to become his concubines. The remaining less beautiful girls were treated as "vegetable people" and traded and robbed everywhere.

The so-called "vegetable people" are those who allow hungry men to abuse them, and when they get tired of playing with them, they will be disassembled and eaten as food.

At that time, a beggar kidnapped Aunt Xun and wanted to attack her. At the critical moment, the young Pei Duo killed him with a rusty hatchet, and chopped him into a pile of rotten meat like a madman.

The two had run out of food long ago and were so hungry that they were practically starving, and even had faint hallucinations.

In order to survive, they ate the smelly and disgusting rotten meat alive.

Their lives were finally saved.

The governor of Quanzhou was a licentious man. Although he had many concubines in his mansion, he was a man of cruel temperament. The girls sent to his mansion were either rejected or tortured to death. His subordinates, who wanted to show their affection to him, intensified their efforts to search for beautiful girls in Quanzhou.

Later, Aunt Xun was taken into his mansion and became one of his three thousand concubines.

Aunt Xun wants to survive, but she also wants to protect Pei Duo.

She was not a woman who would resign herself to fate or complain about herself, so she endured his inhuman abuse and used all her strength and means to win the favor of the governor of Quanzhou, so that Pei Duo could have a position of moderate importance in the army.

Pei Duo was also very hardworking. Not only did he acquire good skills, but he also gradually gained prestige in the army.

But no matter how capable Aunt Xun was, she could not resist the fading of age and beauty. In addition, she was tortured all day long, and she looked much older than her peers, not to mention compared with younger girls.

So she was gradually abandoned.

Because she made too many enemies in the palace, she was bullied by other concubines and almost died several times.

Pei Duo wanted to save her, but was framed by someone with ulterior motives and was accused of wanting to "rebel and kill his master."

It's either death or the outcome. Rather than being framed, it's better to just confirm the crime.

He decided to go all out and rebelled with two thousand loyal soldiers, setting up his own camp on Cangshan Mountain.

There were only so many of them at first, but Quanzhou had already accumulated too much public grievances, and more and more people were reduced from civilians to bandits, and his power gradually expanded.

He also took in many desperate elderly, weak, women and children in Quanzhou, and opened up farmland in Cangshan to become self-sufficient.

This matter was actually the Quanzhou governor's own business. In addition, Pei Duo had remained inactive for so many years, so he did not report the matter to the court, but continued to live a life of luxury in his own nest.

……

These are what Aunt Xun told Yue Liuyun.

She originally just wanted to get a brief understanding of the general situation of the camp and Quanzhou, and did not expect Aunt Xun to tell the truth to such a strange person as her.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xun didn't care much and told her everything about the past calmly.

The wooden walls of the house were mottled with weathering. Translucent paper covered the window lattices, letting in the warm light from inside. Beneath the windowsill, a charcoal fire burned, its flames dancing. The room was simply furnished: a wooden table and a few bamboo chairs. In the corner, an oil lamp burned quietly.

Aunt Xun touched Yue Liuyun's head and said to her, "...From the first time I saw you that day, I felt that you were not a girl from an ordinary family. At the very least, you came here for a purpose."

But what does it matter? She is just a little girl after all.

If this place can accommodate other girls, it can naturally accommodate her as well.

The world is unfair to women. If she can find a way to survive, it is something worthy of admiration.

Yue Liuyun sighed imperceptibly.

Aunt Xun was able to endure in the governor's mansion for so many years, so she is not an ordinary woman.

"Thank you for telling me this," Yue Liuyun nodded in thanks and assured her, "...You can rest assured that even if I have my own agenda, I won't plot against innocent people."

Aunt Xun shook her head and said with a smile, "Ergou is not stupid. He has his own plans. I can't interfere with what he wants to do."

Yue Liuyun knew what she meant and nodded, "I understand."

As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate. Aunt Xun and Pei Duo are such people. They only do what they think is right, and as for the results... they will bear them all.

"Girl, take a rest first. I'm leaving first."

Aunt Xun stood up, smiled at her gently, opened the door and wanted to leave.

...Unexpectedly, the moment the door opened, Pei Duo's body tilted and he almost fell to the ground. It was obvious that he had been eavesdropping for a long time.

Pei Duo: “…”

Aunt Xun: “…”

Yue Liuyun: “…”

People are always busy when they are embarrassed. Pei Duo clenched his fist to cover his lips and coughed lightly. He didn't know what to say for a long time.

Aunt Xun burst out laughing, said, "I'm leaving first, you guys chat first," and left.

After she left, Yue Liuyun politely invited him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and said:

"...I never thought you had this hobby of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, big brother."

Pei Duo sat there casually and said confidently, "...Aunt Xun is my relative. Since you are in my territory, you belong to me and cannot be considered anyone else."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Yue Liuyun said: "...Mr. Pei, you are quite familiar with others. I still feel that we may not be very familiar with each other."

Pei Duo looked at her, seemed a little displeased, frowned slightly, and said with a stern gaze:

"...These past few days, no matter what I said or did, you kept a certain distance from me and refused to even give in verbally."

He leaned forward slightly, cast his eagle-like eyes at her, slowly approached her, and said:

"...I'm really curious, is your husband really that good... worthy of you looking at other men?"

Yue Liuyun easily avoided his approach, stood up and moved to a position farther away from him.

She thought for a while and said:

"Mr. Pei, let's get down to business."
