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

Chapter 112 Visiting Relatives
Wu Shanyue and Xiang Xiaoniang entered the mansion early and were the first ones to be tormented by Xiao Shirong.

Especially Xiang Xiaoniang, who was of humble status and Pei Yuan didn't care about her. She herself was a tolerant person and was often bullied by Xiao Shirong.

This year, Xie Fei took over the family business, and Xiang Xiaoniang became more active.

"At the end of the year, when I see other families reuniting and laughing, I always feel a little depressed. It has been three years since I last saw my family."

When Xiang Xiaoniang said this, the other concubines also looked solemn.

Fang Qinrou even burst into tears on the spot, saying that she had not seen her mother, younger siblings, since she entered the mansion as a concubine.

Although I sent back my monthly allowance, some clothes and other things every month, I couldn't even receive a letter.

Everyone said that it was pitiful, but Xie Fei had no concerns about his parents and could not empathize with them.

She understood that Xiang Xiaoniang did not bring up this matter for no reason, it was probably because she was going to visit her during the holidays.

Being a concubine is indeed unfortunate. Even a concubine like Xie Fei needs permission from her husband's family to return to her parents' home.

Xiang Xiaoniang and the others were either good concubines or lowly concubines, which was almost the same as being bought out by their husband's family for their entire lives. They had no right to return to their parents' home, and their parents' family could not visit them at will.

If you are favored by your master and get permission, it is no problem to visit your family. If your husband's family does not allow it, even if your parents pass away, you will not have the opportunity to go back to visit them.

Now that Xie Fei is in charge, Xiang Xiaoniang and her friends dare to come and ask for mercy.

It wasn't a big deal, but Xie Fei didn't dare to make the decision on his own.

Afterwards, she asked Sulu, and Sulu said that although concubines did have a low status, the law did not stipulate that the concubine's family could not visit her.

Everything depends on the master's will. If the master is willing, it will happen naturally.

However, it would be difficult to ask all the concubines to leave the house. It would be better to let their families come and have a gathering in the house.

So Xie Fei waved her hand and agreed.

The news soon reached Xiao Shirong's ears, and Xiao Shirong called Xie Fei over.

"A bunch of lowly things, are they worthy of special arrangements?" Xiao Shirong sneered, "Could it be that you saw your own shadow in them and felt pity for them, so you came here to pretend to be a good person?"

Xie Fei said: "Madam, you are of noble status, and you can see your family whenever you want. I guess you have never felt the pain of missing someone?"

Xiao Shirong snorted coldly.

Naturally, she had never experienced much separation. Even when she came to the capital from Fan Yang, she was accompanied by her parents and sisters.

After the marriage, because Pei Yuan was still far away at the border, her mother and sisters lived in Pei's house for a long time and only left when Pei Yuan returned.

All the maids and servants who served her were brought from the Xiao family. Even her mother-in-law was her closest aunt, so no one could make her angry.

So after getting married, she felt more free than being separated from her own flesh and blood, and there was no one to restrain her.

"I am a daughter of the Xiao family, so I am naturally different from you guys." Xiao Shirong leaned over and said to Xie Fei firmly, "People are divided into different classes at birth. I am from the Xiao family of Fanyang, a century-old clan, and you are pariahs who are worse than ants."

It is sheer wishful thinking to compare yourself to her!

Xie Fei said calmly: "The untouchables also have flesh and blood, and they have parents and families. Why not reunite with your family members whom you haven't seen for several years during this New Year's Day?"

Anyway, their master was enjoying himself outside and was too lazy to even enter the mansion, and the old lady was going to the Buddhist temple, so the eldest lady was under house arrest.

There is no need to arrange the so-called New Year’s Eve dinner.

Seeing that Xie Fei was determined to let those concubines meet their relatives, Xiao Shirong became quite angry.

Among Pei Yuan's wives and concubines, apart from her, Xie Fei had a better family background.

She thought that Xie Fei should share her hatred for the enemy and despise those untouchables.

Unexpectedly, Xie Fei's ideas seemed very different from hers.

After talking for so long, Xiao Shirong was too lazy to argue anymore and yawned with her hands covering her lips.

"If a bunch of low-class people with dirty hearts and rotten lungs were allowed to step into the Pei Mansion, it would be more disgusting than a rat crawling through. If you insist on having your own way, at least, don't let them set foot in the Pei Mansion!"

This is not difficult. Xie Fei said, "The Pei family has an outer courtyard and many manors. I will make proper arrangements and will never make things difficult for the lady." Xiao Shirong raised her finger slightly, and the maid next to her immediately brought a purple incense hand warmer.

She held a delicate little hand warmer in her arms, leaned lazily on the couch, and took a light nap with her eyes closed.

Xie Fei wisely withdrew.

When she returned to Songyueju, Xiang Xiaoniang and others were waiting anxiously.

Although Xie Fei himself agreed to visit his relatives, he still had his mistress above him.

When they heard that the lady had called Xie Fei over, they became extremely anxious.

Fortunately, Xie Fei said that the lady only forbade outsiders from entering the house, but did not stop them.

Everyone was relieved, and then they were filled with joy, talking about how long it had been since they last saw their families.

As I spoke, I felt sad and couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Fei asked them to prepare first, and the specific arrangements would depend on the situation.

At night, Xie Fei was finally able to lie back in bed.

Su Lu lowered the curtain and said, "Don't you want to go back to your parents' home on New Year's Eve?"

Xie Fei looked at the purple ceiling and said faintly, "It doesn't matter whether we go back or not."

There was no one she particularly cared about.

She then asked Su-yul, "What about you? Can you be reunited with your brother?"

Hearing that she still remembered that she had a younger brother, Su Lu felt a little warm in her heart, and smiled again: "I don't ask for these, as long as my younger brother can grow up safely, it is better than anything else."

Then she bowed and left, letting Xie Fei sleep peacefully.

It was late at night and Xie Fei couldn't sleep.

A lot of things happened in the past two days. The eldest branch of the Pei family seemed to have refused to see visitors due to illness because of Shanbao. Even the two masters reduced their social engagements and stayed with Shanbao.

As for the Ban family, Xie Fei had no channel to inquire about it.

In the mansion, the old lady has left for the Buddhist temple again and will not be back until after the New Year.

Pei Yuan, on the other hand, has recently lost interest in his beautiful wife and concubines in the mansion and is now hunting for beauties outside.

It is said that she heard that there was a courtesan event in another county, so she ran away with her friends and did not come back before the New Year.

So the masters were not at home in the huge Pei Mansion.

Now the concubines have been arranged to meet their family members, and they will probably be in the outer farms by then.

Maybe in the end, she and Xiao Shirong will celebrate the New Year together?
When thinking of this scene, Xie Fei felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his hair stood up.

Just as she was daydreaming, she heard a clicking sound near the window.

Not knowing whether it was Yuan San, she did not want to disturb the maid who was guarding outside, so she quickly sat up and pulled aside the curtain.

Yuan San just happened to climb in through the window and landed lightly on the ground.

Xie Fei whispered: "What happened?"

Yuan San would not quietly enter the house at this time without any reason.

Yuan San quickly walked to the bedside, looking a little anxious.

He sat down on the bed, glanced outside again, and said in a low voice, "I have something to give you."

Seeing his solemn look, Xie Fei's heart also tightened.
