After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 102 Self-deception
There was silence outside. Because of the screen, Rong Peilan could not see the scene outside clearly.

She could only see Xu Jiayi raising his little hand and pointing fiercely, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out!"

This time Xu Jiayi was really rude, but the fairy just stood by and watched.

Rong Peilan pursed her lips and smiled. It seemed that Xue Jinghe just wanted a hottie like the little girl from the Xu family to be dealt with.

When she looked up again, she met the fairy's smiling eyes.

She curled the corners of her lips in embarrassment, as if she had been caught eavesdropping.

The fairy upstairs suddenly winked at her with her right eye playfully, and the corner of her lips twitched in the same direction.

Be caught off guard.

It really...destroys the beauty!
Before Rong Peilan could react, Xue Jinghe from outside the screen asked with some interest.

"I'm sorry for being rude. I'm not stealing someone's love. It's just my friend's birthday. I've been looking for a long time to find such a satisfactory birthday gift."

"That's why I don't want to pay more to buy this Dongzhu."

The fairy upstairs seemed to have no interest in his topic and just responded indifferently with an "Oh".

Then he reached out and pushed Xu Jiayi, who was making a face, back, and the window was ruthlessly closed.

Tsk, it turns out fairies can also change their faces.

Rong Peilan had never seen this fairy-like girl before. When she was still wondering if this was another girl from the Xu family whom she had never seen before, Xue Jinghe's inquiring voice came from outside.

Rong Peilan was now annoyed. It was really disgusting to be asked so openly.

"Shopkeeper, whose girl was that just now? I often come to Ruyifang, how come I have never seen her before?"

"This……"

Rong Peilan leaned on the armrest of the chair and walked out slowly from behind the screen.

The shopkeeper looked conflicted and helpless.

"Boss, pack these up."

"Okay! Okay!" The shopkeeper turned around and saw Madam Ji and her maid coming out from behind the screen.

He had a look of liberation on his face, and without even waiting for the little girl to move, he ran over to take the things himself.

The shopkeeper didn't need to do the packing himself, but he ran away with the jewelry tray in his hand, as if he was being chased by a dog.

Xue Jinghe didn't expect that Rong Peilan was there too.

Thinking of how he looked just now, his face suddenly turned blue and red.

Rong Peilan acted as if she had just seen him, "So Master Xue is here too, what a coincidence."

Miss Qu was still the same as she was the last time I saw her, with her face covered by a veil, and her eyes seemed to no longer have the brilliance I saw last time.

What she was wearing and what she had on her head were all new products from Ruyifang, the most fashionable at the time. However, no matter how many gorgeous clothes she had, they could not hide her loneliness.

She said she only wanted someone who was loyal to her, but it seemed that she didn't get him.

Xue Jinghe said with a fake smile, "What a coincidence, why didn't you see Brother Ji? Brother Ji, how could you let your pregnant wife go out on the street alone?"

Rong Peilan seemed not to understand the hidden meaning in his words and just smiled faintly.

"Master Xue is right. I am envious of Miss Qu. Master Xue is with her every day. Unlike our General Ji, he is always away from home and is almost settling down in the military office."

"If this continues, I'm afraid the baby in my belly won't be able to recognize its father's voice when it comes out."

She was trying to make fun of Xue Jinghe in her words and expressions, as if she couldn't understand his expression.

Then she asked, "Hey? When can I drink in Mr. Xue and Miss Qu's wedding wine?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Qu couldn't help but look at Xue Jinghe.

Xue Jinghe's face changed. He could buy Qu Meng'er jewelry, silk and satin, and spend some time with her. But he couldn't bring her into the house, let alone a concubine, even as a bed warmer.

Qu Meng'er came from a brothel. Which man would carry a prostitute from a brothel back home?

Seeing Xue Jinghe like this, Rong Peilan complained more and more about Ji Yunzhang's vision in her heart. How could he become friends with such a person?
When Qu Meng'er saw his appearance, her heart became even darker.

Last year, when Madam Ji Shao reminded her that "A man values ​​his integrity, why bother with money and weapons", she should have woken up from her dream.

If he really had feelings for her, why would he need money to compensate her?

He just wanted to treat her as a beautiful canary in a cage, and didn't want to treat her as a real bedmate.

Looking at Rong Peilan who was smiling calmly, Xue Jinghe clenched his teeth. This woman...

It was she who cured Wei Chi of the poison and also cured his series of schemes. Now does she also need to cure his relationship with Qu Meng'er?

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips curled up.

"Brother Ji is doing very well now, and I can only feel jealous, but——"

"As the old saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall."

"Mrs. Ji should remind Brother Ji to be cautious. After all, it is lonely at the top."

Rong Peilan saw that the shopkeeper had already packed everything, so she asked Qingtan to pay and take the items.

After hearing Xue Jinghe's words, she did not respond immediately, but just took Chen Chun's hand and walked out. After walking two steps, she turned around and said to him.

"Master Xue is right. It is lonely at the top. It is indeed not something that ordinary people can do."

Her two sentences stunned Xue Jinghe. Is he defeated already?

Before he could make any other expression, Rong Peilan, who had already walked to the door, turned around and gave him a mocking smile, "But some people are not destined to be high up, they just can't eat grapes, so they say the grapes are sour. Isn't this just deceiving yourself? Don't you think so, Third Master Xue?"

Xue Jinghe's expression instantly cracked.

His face flushed red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

Just as he was about to say something, the fairy from the second floor led the rude little girl downstairs.

He looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't, and he wanted to get angry but couldn't, which almost made him suffocate.

The fairy walked straight past him as if she didn't see him.

Instead, the little girl turned around and rolled her eyes.

The fairy didn't even look at her, but reached out and accurately grabbed the bun on the little girl's head and led her out the door.

"Xu Jiayi, watch the road."

"Hey, hey, hey, second sister, spare my life..."

Standing next to the carriage, Rong Peilan touched her belly. She originally wanted to buy some things and relax in order to be in a good mood.

Now I feel so angry.

But I don’t know if the baby in her belly was also angry, it became very lively, punching here and kicking there.

The fairy led Xu Jiayi forward, "Jia Qian thanks Madam for rescuing me."

Xu Jiaqian is the second daughter of Marquis Wenyuan. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she has been raised by the eldest lady, Madam Pei, since she was a child. She is officially registered under Madam Pei's name, just like a legitimate daughter.

Rong Peilan turned around and saw that it was the fairy. She smiled subconsciously and said, "Second Miss Xu, it's just a small favor. It's nothing to mention."

Now that I saw her up close, she was truly as beautiful as a banished fairy. If she had not appeared in Ruyifang but on a high building, anyone who had seen her would have thought she was a fairy who had descended to earth.

Rong Peilan felt much better instantly.

It is indeed a beautiful thing, and it still makes people feel relaxed and happy.
