Chapter 580
Pei Chen asked for the reason, but Shuangyue didn't dare to say anything. She just lowered her head and wiped her tears. Xiao Yinxiu turned around and saw Pei Chen approaching Shuangyue to question her. She was so angry that she pointed at Shuangyue and called her a slut. "You act like that when I'm right in front of you. Are you trying to seduce me?"
After hearing this, Shuangyue covered her mouth and ran out.
But she didn't dare go anywhere else, otherwise if the Crown Prince's wife called her and she was not there, she would be punished again.
Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Yinxiu saw that the two did not come in, and she stood in the courtyard with her hands on her waist and shouted, "Aunt Chu, Shuangyue, where did you die in broad daylight again?"
After hearing this, the two dared not hesitate any longer.
After wiping her tears and smoothing her messy hair, Shuangyue followed Aunt Chu into the house. Xiao Yinxiu looked at the pitiful Shuangyue hiding behind Aunt Chu, and walked up to her unhappily and dragged her to him, "I'm a straightforward person, and I'm also very angry today. Miss, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Shuangyue quickly knelt down to apologize, saying that it was his fault and that he had caused the lady to misunderstand him.
Aunt Chu saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Shuangyue, don't be sad anymore. How could you find such a good master who would apologize to you?"
"Madam, your words are serious. Auntie, you are joking. I dare not accept your words."
"I was wrong!" Xiao Yinxiu took her hand, forced a smile on his face, but leaned close to Shuangyue, "Don't say a word to the prince!"
Shuangyue nodded obediently and told Qi Yueniang about what she had sent her maid to report.
"Okay, I'll talk to the prince and take my brother with me."
The master and his servant walked to the inner room. Pei Chen leaned on the chaise longue and sneered, "You two have always been in good terms, working together as a team. Why are you fighting among yourselves today?"
Xiao Yinxiu looked at Pei Chen with a bad temper.
Hearing this, she wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Aunt Chu. She concealed her dissatisfaction and looked at Pei Chen and asked, "You are free and easy when you go out this time, but Qiao'er has suffered a lot in the house."
Speaking of the daughter born by Aunt Qiao, Pei Chen was rarely happy, "Speaking of which, our family is in need of a girl. Qiao'er is pregnant, and I think the girl is pretty fair. Why not raise her with you? It's a blessing for her to be raised by you as a mother."
What the hell? !
Xiao Yinxiu could no longer suppress her anger. She sat on the rose chair and snorted coldly, "Your Highness, you are joking. She has her biological mother in front of her. We don't follow the principle of killing the mother and keeping the child in our mansion."
"When did I say I didn't want Qiao'er?"
After Pei Chen finished speaking, he felt that what he said was a bit too much, but when he thought about other deep mansions and backyards, the virtuous wives would not care about the legitimate and illegitimate children and would educate them together, which would be a good story if it was spread.
"You come from the Xiao family, so you must have more experience than Qiao'er, who comes from a small family. Besides, there are not many of you, just a girl like this——"
In fact, Pei Chen also had another idea. After all, when he took a look, he saw that the baby in the cradle was barely fair, but too thin and weak.
After asking, I found out that the month was short.
How could he take care of this weak girl in front of Qiao'er? Now he had no job at home and it was good enough for him to have money to go out and have fun in the red-light district. Where could he find those precious medicinal herbs to take care of this girl? So he simply turned to Xiao Yinxiu.
Xiao Yinxiu was not stupid, but even if he was stupid he would not marry a sickly girl whose mother was still alive. He immediately curled his lips and refused without any hesitation.
"Let Qiao'er raise her on her own. You want to break up the mother-daughter relationship. That's not right in our house. Father allowed Aunt Li to raise Qiuyu, but why is he so pedantic when it comes to you?"
Pei Chen touched his nose, "…separated by a wall, if he really grows up to be like Qiu Yu, I don't know how deep it is, and it's not worth it."
"Why not? Your sister is so precious, she doesn't even look down on my Wulang. I will watch her become the princess in the future."
Stop it!
Pei Chen couldn't win the argument with Xiao Yinxiu, so he waved his hand and revealed the matter of Aunt Qiao. He stood up from the chaise longue, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth for a while, coughed lightly, and asked seriously, "I think the yard is almost ready, let's find a good day to welcome Gao in."
Either she raised his concubines to bear children for him, or she entertained a vixen for him.
When Xiao Yinxiu thought about those days, he felt as if there was foul air in his chest that he could neither spit out nor swallow, and it was choking and hurting his heart.
"Today is a reunion day, let's just enjoy it first."
Pei Chen looked at her reluctance and became more and more unhappy. "It's not a good idea to drag it on day after day. Now the affairs of the mansion are also taken care of by my sister-in-law. You only take care of the affairs in my room. Don't you have time to spare?"
The implication was that she was incompetent and unvirtuous and was making excuses to put him off.
Xiao Yinxiu turned her head away without saying a word, "Pei Chen, you promised me yourself that this is the last room." If it weren't for the evidence against her and this sentence, Xiao Yinxiu would have made Pei Chen lose face no matter how hard he tried.
Unfortunately, Jin Fuyun harmed her, and she couldn't stop Gao's affairs.
"a man of his words."
Pei Chen promised casually. Xiao Yinxiu opened her mouth to speak, but Pei Chen waved his hand impatiently, "I gave you face, so I let you do this. If I pass you by, don't blame me for being cruel."
Xiao Yinxiu felt a dull pain in his heart.
"...Today is August 15th, a good day for family reunion. Can't you bring it up tomorrow?"
Pei Chen rarely remained silent, but his sarcastic smile was seen by Xiao Yinxiu.
Xiao Yinxiu stroked her chest and softened her voice, "We'll be going to Second Aunt's place soon, and our two families will celebrate the holiday together. I beg you not to say these things anymore. It makes me feel sad and we won't be able to celebrate the holiday well." Her tone was almost pleading. Pei Chen looked at her and saw that she had aged ten years recently as she had not been taking care of the household chores. He was about to scold her when Qin Ge'er and his two younger brothers started shouting outside.
"Uncle, Aunt, the children are going to visit Grandmother."
In front of the children, no matter how unruly Pei Chen was, he swallowed his dissatisfaction, turned around and asked Shuangyue to welcome the children in. Qin Ge'er, Ling Ge'er and Huan Ge'er ran with their faces flushed and they were out of breath.
"Where did you come from? Why are you panting like this?"
Pei Chen took his tea and fed them one by one. Qin Ge'er leaned against Pei Chen, his face full of joy, "Second Grandmother sent people to invite us several times, and we went to Shaohua Garden to talk to Fourth Aunt, but unfortunately Fourth Aunt was busy checking the accounts, and Fourth Uncle sent us away with just a few words."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of maids greeting Pei An was heard outside.
Hearing the voice, Pei Chen and Xiao Yinxiu also stood up to greet them. Pei An stepped into the outer room and shouted loudly, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, let's go. The three children can't wait and are urged to go."
Pei Chen pulled Qin Ge'er and Huang Ge'er out of the inner room, only to see Pei An standing in the middle of the hall, tall and wearing a brocade robe.
He has a fair complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He did not wear a crown today. He just tied his hair on top of his head into a bun and secured it with a jade hairpin.
"Shiro, where are the people in your room?"
