I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 106 Good Treasure
Because the mother and daughter of the Ban family have always been of this temperament, Mrs. Zheng knows very well that it is useless to persuade them.

She could only blame herself for placing too much emphasis on her daughter-in-law's family background and ignoring these insignificant details, making it difficult for her to live her life now.

She was annoyed in her heart, but then she thought that they only got together a few times a year, so out of sight, out of mind, there was no need to meddle in their affairs.

At the same time, Pei Zhaoyan took Xie Fei through the long curved corridor and walked towards the warm room.

"Sister Xie, don't take Mrs. Ban's words to heart. My sister-in-law's mother has always been outspoken. She said some things without much thought."

Even Pei Zhaoyan herself was often gossiped about.

Xie Fei smiled and said, "Mrs. Ban is kind-hearted and willing to help my sister find a husband. I should thank her. But my sister's marriage has always been decided by my stepmother, so I really can't ask for it."

Pei Zhaoyan said: "Parents have the final say on marriage matters. With the natural beauty of Miss Xie, she will surely find a husband of her dreams."

"Thank you, Sister Pei."

When they arrived at the warm room, the wet nurse brought Ban Sihui's son.

Pei Zhaoyan couldn't let go of this little nephew. As soon as he sat down, he hugged him in his arms and teased him lovingly.

Xie Fei saw that the child had a pale face and slightly purple lips, and something seemed to be wrong.

"This is the child of Pei Shaoqing and Madam Ban, right?"

Pei Zhaoyan stared at his nephew intently and said with a smile, "Yes, his name is Shanbao. When he was just born, his health was always poor, so my mother went to the monk in person and asked for this nickname for him."

Xie Fei reached out his hand, pretending to scratch the bridge of his nose, and touched it to test his body temperature.

There was some ice. I don’t know if it was because there was not enough heat in the warm room and the child felt cold.

She was not a pediatrician before, and she rarely came into contact with children after coming to this time and space. For a moment, she was unable to determine what was going on with this Shanbao.

Before she could continue to test the waters, Madam Zheng and the other two entered the warm room and took their seats.

Ban Sihui stepped forward and took Shanbao away. Pei Zhaoyan was reluctant to let go and her eyes were always glued to the child.

Ban Sihui was holding her son, feeling very proud. She said to Pei Zhaoyan, "You don't have to envy me. After all, I'm young. As long as I take good care of myself, I can naturally give birth to a son."

Mrs. Ban continued, "We've been married for several years, but there's still no sign of pregnancy. I wonder what's the reason? Either we should ask the imperial physician to see a doctor, or we should go to the temple to pray. There will be some help eventually."

Madam Zheng looked unhappy and said, "Eat it all."

The mother and daughter then stopped talking and started to eat with high spirits.

Xie Fei had been looking at Shanbao. The child hadn't moved for a long time, and didn't even cry. He was too quiet to be a baby.

Mrs. Zheng seemed to have noticed it as well and asked the maid to call the doctor.

However, Mrs. Ban said that the warm room was hot and stuffy, and it was common for children to sleep after eating and eat after sleeping.

Xie Fei felt that the matter was not that simple, but it was difficult for him to say anything in someone else's house.

She was eating slowly, and when Ban Sihui saw how calm she was, she couldn't help but get angry again.

"What kind of people are the Xie family? How could they raise such an unruly person? All of us at the table are wives, and you are the only concubine. Not only do you not stand by and serve us, but you even dare to eat at the same table with us? Who gave you the face?"

Xie Fei turned a deaf ear and continued to pick vegetables, which made Mrs. Zheng and her daughter look unhappy.

Mrs. Zheng was on the verge of exploding, but how could she scold Ban Sihui in front of her mother-in-law and Xie Fei, an outsider?

Pei Zhaoyan also made a face of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and tugged at Ban Sihui's sleeve. Ban Sihui shook off Pei Zhaoyan's hand and shouted, "Why are you pulling me? I want her to see her true identity!"

She ignored Pei Zhaoyan's attempts to stop her and pointed at Xie Fei's nose and started scolding him.

"Don't think you are so confident just because the emperor has granted me the marriage! I am a concubine, a servant of the wife! If you dare to commit treason, be careful or I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Xiao's sister!"

Xie Fei calmly served herself a bowl of pigeon soup. It must be said that the food in the big house was really good and the chef's cooking skills were outstanding. This soup was very much to her liking.

After cooling the soup, Xie Fei took two sips. The mellow and light taste made her brows relax.

Only after you have eaten and drunk your fill will you have time to refute something.

"Of course. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a concubine to be superior to the main wife. Although I am not from a famous family, I know my status very well. I will neither bully the inferiors nor meddle in other people's affairs or stir up trouble."

Ban Sihui immediately heard the hidden meaning in her words, stood up and said angrily: "What do you mean, who are you talking about? Otherwise, considering that the Fourth House is a relative of our First House, do you think I am willing to care about a lowly concubine like you?"

Xie Fei said slowly, "Since they are just relatives and the private affairs of the Fourth House, there is no need for Madam Ban to interfere. I heard that Pei Shaoqing has taken in two new concubines. Madam, you might as well take care of your own house first before you come to someone else's house to bully others."

These words hit Ban Sihui so hard that her face turned pale instantly. Her previous arrogant attitude disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Maybe it was because she had made such a fuss with Pei Honglang about Xie Jing that Pei Honglang didn't want to see her anymore.

Just then, one of his subordinates sent him two beautiful concubines, and Pei Honglang accepted them without saying a word.

Obviously, if it were in the past, he would at least consider her feelings and would not do such a thing so soon after she gave birth.

This is actually one of the reasons why Ban Sihui took her anger out on Xie Fei.

After being exposed by Xie Fei, Ban Sihui instantly lost her temper, fell down on the stool, and tears burst out of her eyes.

How could Mrs. Ban bear to see her daughter suffer such an insult?
She slammed the table and was about to argue with Xie Fei, but Mrs. Zheng said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

Seeing her mother-in-law's cold expression, Mrs. Ban had no choice but to give up.

Mrs. Zheng looked at the crying Ban Sihui, then at the calm Xie Fei, and felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

One by one, they can't even eat a meal in peace.

She was about to ask everyone to continue eating, but she heard Pei Zhaoyan say, "Mother, why does Shanbao seem to be twitching?"

For a moment, everyone looked at the swaddling clothes.

In the cradle, the baby with his eyes closed was shaking violently, his head trembling violently, and his limbs twitching uncontrollably, as if he was possessed by something and was struggling in a weird manner.

Several people were frightened by the scene, and Mrs. Zheng was even more heartbroken. She screamed, "My grandson, what happened!"

The mother and daughter of the Ban family looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and guilt.

For a moment, everyone surrounded the swaddling clothes in a panic.

An experienced woman said, "Oh no, maybe he has epilepsy? Go find a doctor!"

Madam Zheng shouted, "No, go find the master and ask him to send a letter immediately to invite the imperial physician to come!"

It was a good meal, but before it was even finished, everyone was in a mess.

Shanbao was fine before, but suddenly he started to twitch. Even Pei Shaoqing and his son from the first wife heard the noise and rushed over.
