Chapter 94: Dog bites dog
"Although I'm lucky enough to have survived, the doctor said I could die at any time, and even if I survive, I'll have to lie in bed for the rest of my life!"
Speaking of this, Pei Han's eyes turned red, he became very emotional, and cried miserably to the empress.
"Your Majesty, I am your only child. Yu'er didn't leave any offspring. If Yu'er dies, my Pei family will be extinct!"
"So, this old minister has no choice but to make plans for the Pei family and find a husband for Yu'er to leave a descendant for our Pei family."
When the empress heard this, she nodded in agreement.
I felt both shocked and sympathetic at Pei Han's words. Indeed, the Pei family had few descendants, and in Pei Han's generation, there was only one daughter, Pei Yu.
Whether Pei Han can give birth to another child is still one thing, but if not, the Pei family will be extinct.
No wonder Pei Han was anxious.
"I also know that Yu'er is engaged to the second son of Prince Zhan's palace, but I think that Yu'er is not worthy of him now, so I wanted to find another man with a clean family background."
"But when Yu'er heard that the old minister wanted to find another man, she refused to agree. She said...she said that she knew that the Second Young Master Ji was her fiancé and had fallen in love with him at first sight. She would not marry anyone else. If she was forced to marry someone else, she would rather die than obey."
Pei Han said this without fear of the empress investigating, because it was more or less true.
However, Ji Yunhuan was so angry when he heard Pei Han's words: "How could my Ze'er be interested in a useless person like you!"
Pei Han looked at Ji Yunhuan with cloudy eyes and said angrily: "Zhan Wang said good deeds. Yes, I know that your second son doesn't like my Yu'er, and I dare not marry him! But..."
Looking at the Empress Pei Han cried pitifully again: "It's just that I'm afraid! I only have one daughter, Yu'er. If I don't fulfill her wish, my Pei family will be extinct~"
"For this reason...for this reason, I, an old minister, shamelessly went to Prince Zhan's mansion and mentioned the engagement to Prince Zhan again. However, Prince Zhan despised my son for being a useless person and was unwilling to fulfill the engagement. He refused to acknowledge the marriage."
"It was this old minister... This old minister threatened King Zhan with the reputation of breaking off the engagement and asked King Zhan to fulfill the engagement. Although King Zhan agreed, he..." Pei Han paused, feeling a chill on his back, and stammered with his head down.
"But he wants to replace the second son in the engagement with... the eldest son."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt the temperature around them drop to zero in an instant, and it was freezing cold.
Pei Han said quickly: "I didn't agree at first, but it was the King of Zhan...it was the King of Zhan who said that if I didn't agree to the replacement, he would drive me out and not recognize this marriage."
"King Zhan also said that my goal is to leave a descendant for the Pei family. It doesn't matter who I marry, as long as they can give birth to children. As for Yu'er, when you marry her, I'll give her some medicine on the wedding day, and then..."
Pei Han didn't dare to continue talking, because she was afraid that her head would be torn into pieces if she continued.
She knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and admitted her mistake with tears.
"Your Majesty! I didn't know that the eldest son was the fiancé of King Beichen!"
"If you knew, I would not dare to force you to marry me even if I had the courage of heaven!"
"I was confused for a moment! I listened to the deception of the King of War and committed such a mistake. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Pei Han spoke sincerely and cried out, portraying himself as a victim who was deceived and cheated because he loved his daughter so much that he lost his mind.
Ji Yunhuan didn't expect Pei Han to dare to confuse right and wrong, pushing all the bad things onto her and clearing himself of all blame. She was so angry that her face turned blue.
Seeing the empress's increasingly dark complexion, Ji Yunhuan knelt down in fear and hurriedly explained to her.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense! That's not the case at all!"
