The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 252 Uneven
"Miss Yan really said that?"

"Grandma, you don't dare to adulterate a word."

Manager Xie shrank his neck and said to himself that I just hid the part about the dead person to prevent grandma from having nightmares at night.

"What a smart guy."

Mrs. Zhu patted her chest and calmed down the breath hanging in her throat, "These words have ruined the face of both families."

Manager Xie nodded with deep understanding.

Chuntao on the side has not yet recovered, "Grandma, what do you say?"

"Let me ask you, if you were Miss Yan, would you be better off accepting the offer, or rejecting it?"

"This……"

Chuntao put herself in his shoes and thought for a moment, "It really shouldn't be the case, nor should it be."

Zhu asked, "Why?"

Chuntao: "If I agree, what if Mr. Pei or Mrs. Pei don't agree? It will make the Pei family very upset."

Zhu smiled bitterly: "With Mr. Pei's temperament, it's easy to get mad. I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future, and Miss Yan will become the culprit."

Chuntao nodded with deep understanding: "If I don't agree, Mr. Pei, a proud and arrogant person, will be humiliated on the spot. How can he be willing to do so?"

"Even if he is willing to do so, the two elders behind him will not be willing to do so."

Zhu took over the words slowly.

"What kind of family background is that of the Pei family, and what kind of family background is Miss Yan's? My son fell in love with her, which is a blessing accumulated by her ancestors. It's good for her to refuse. This is not only a slap in the face of Mr. Pei, but also Slapping the entire Pei family in the face."

Chuntao was so shocked that her red lips slightly opened.

"Miss Yan is the old lady's old friend, and now she lives in our house. She slapped the Pei family in the face, and our Xie family slapped the Pei family in the face. She became the culprit, and our Xie family became the culprit."

Mrs. Zhu looked at Manager Xie faintly.

"The Xie and Pei families have been close friends for decades. You have always respected me and I have respected you. I can only say that the two families are getting better and better, and there is no saying that they broke up because of a marriage." Yes. Manager Xie, am I wrong in saying that she has brought shame on both families?"

"Grandma is absolutely right." Manager Xie sighed deeply.

Miss Yan asked Mr. Pei to show his parents' order, which meant that you and your family of three could discuss it among yourselves. She also asked Mr. Pei to show his identity as a person dealing with the dead, which was also a polite refusal.

Not only did it save the face of the two families, but it also gave Mr. Pei a hint. I wonder if Mr. Pei would understand?
Only then did Chuntao suddenly realize.

“I used to think that Miss Yan was indifferent in everything she did, not easy to get along with, and not easy to talk to;
Now I realize that it’s not that she doesn’t know how to get along or talk to us, she just doesn’t want to get along with us or talk to us. "

"It's laziness, it's disdain."

Zhu poked Chuntao with her slender hand. What could the child say or do? His heart was clear!
At this moment, a boy suddenly ran up to Manager Xie and whispered.

After hearing this, Manager Xie hurriedly bowed and said, "Grandma, Imperial Physician Pei, Mrs. Pei is here."

Zhu's bright eyes rolled, "Since Dr. Pei is here, you should hurry up and call me back!"

"Yes!"

Manager Xie left in a hurry.

Chuntao looked around and saw no one around, so she dared to ask in a low voice: "Grandma, do you think this marriage can happen?"

Zhu shook his head: "Absolutely impossible!"

……

Pei Yu and his wife entered Xie's mansion, one went to Boss Xie's study and the other went to the inner chamber.

Mrs. Pei is in her thirties this year and is very well-maintained. If it weren't for the Ji family's affairs, there would be a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and a few gray hairs on her temples, and she would look even younger.

As soon as she entered the door, Ji called to the old lady.

"Oh, my ancestors, look at that child, what kind of thing is he doing? Come on, bring me a futon, and I will kowtow to my ancestors to apologize." The old lady said like a person of her age. It is also watertight.

"Goodbye, it's not a big deal. We all came here when we were young. Who wouldn't be impulsive once or twice when we were young? Come here and serve tea."

One raised it high and the other put it down gently, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became alive, without even the slightest embarrassment.

Ji sat down, lifted the lid of the tea, and raised his eyes to scan.

Wu quickly waved her hand and signaled everyone to leave.

After Ji and others walked away, they put down the tea lid, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of their eyes.

"Ancestor, you really didn't let us know anything about it. Tell me, why are today's children so brave?"

The old lady smiled and said, "That kid is also a stubborn person and can't hide things in his heart."

"You can't hide things in your heart, and you can't act recklessly."

Ji complained to her son, "Ancestor, when things get to this point, I will speak openly with you."

The old lady had figured out Ji's thoughts as early as her first words after entering the door, but her face remained calm: "Just say it."

"It stands to reason that Miss Yan has helped the Ji family, and just for this reason, I should give credit to that silly child. Not to mention that Miss Yan must be good-looking, knowledgeable, and extremely smart."

When the old lady heard this, she actually felt more comfortable than praising herself.

Who said no!
Yan Xing's granddaughter, except for her family background, is all top-notch.

"But the Pei family is no better than other families."

Ji's face turned bitter as she changed the subject.

"Ancestor, you know that my master is able to take charge of the Pei family only because of his solid skills. Otherwise, according to the rules, he would not be able to take charge of the family."

The old lady knows everything about the Pei family's affairs.

Among the four brothers in the Pei family, Pei Yu occupies the title of "direct brother". He has an eldest brother above him and two concubine brothers.

The old man of the Pei family passed the family business to him because he saw that the elder Pei was really incompetent in medical skills, but Pei Yu was extremely talented.

For this reason, Boss Pei hated his own father to the core.

It was Pei Yu who took the initiative to give up [-]% of Baiyao Hall's shares to his eldest brother, which finally appeased Boss Pei.

Unfortunately, things have changed.

Ming Ting's child did not inherit any of his father's talent in medical skills. On the contrary, the other children in the family, as well as Pei Yu's concubine, seemed to be better than their predecessors.

"Old ancestor!"

When Ji thought about her son's lack of future, she was so angry that her teeth itched with hatred.

"If those talented children in the clan take the position of head of the family, I will forget it. But I will never forget that person."

The person Mrs. Pei was talking about was Pei Yu's concubine, only a few months younger than Pei Xiao. His biological mother was the old lady of the Pei family, and her surname was Qian.

The old lady was partial to her eldest son, but she didn't dare to go against the man's will, so she had to secretly set things off for the second son.

After Aunt Qian brought him in, she was very arrogant because of the old lady's favor and the birth of another son.

If the Ji family's family status hadn't been there, Aunt Qian would have even considered taking her place.

For ten years, Ji's life was not good in the hands of the old lady, and she was also very angry with Aunt Qian.

The only thing that went well was that Pei Yu acted upright and protected her in everything.

As soon as the old lady died, Mrs. Ji took care of Aunt Qian, and she lived a comfortable life for a few years.

Little did they know that as the concubine's talent in medical skills was revealed, Aunt Qian's ambition would come to the fore again.
