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

Chapter 114 What do you think of me?
Mother Tang said, "Madam, if the Miao family is not removed, your position will not be shaken, but there will inevitably be gossip outside. This is not a good thing for you."

Xiao Shirong asked: "Do you want me to tell you?"

Xiao Shirong had been married into the Pei family for several years, but outsiders did not know that she and Pei Yuan had not consummated their marriage.

Originally, Pei Yuan had no children, and no one thought that it must be Xiao Shirong who was infertile.

After all, Pei Yuan had so many women, but none of them left any children, which shows that Pei Yuan had serious problems.

But Miao's pregnancy can prove that Pei Yuan is completely fine.

People outside would say that Xiao Shirong was ill and unable to get pregnant.

Once rumors like these spread, Xiao Shirong would become a laughing stock again.

She became more and more anxious, and a vicious idea formed in her mind.

"What is that disgusting thing from the Sun family doing now?"

Mother Tang's heart tightened, "Why would you ask that kind of brainless rubbish?"

Xiao Shirong played with the exquisite hand warmer, her eyebrows curved, but her smile was malicious.

"For dirty things, you naturally have to find dirty people to do them. Otherwise, how can it have such an effect?"

In Songyueju, Xie Fei had just returned to the yard when Fu Yu flew towards her like a happy little bird, calling "girl" and flapping its wings.

Xie Fei asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Fu Yu happily took her arm and walked into the house. After entering the house, he took off her cloak and hung it on the hanger.

"Everything has been handled in the village. Mother Liu and the others saw that you haven't returned for a long time, so they asked me to come and see you. Can you go back on New Year's Eve?"

Doesn't Xie Fei want to go back?

She sat down on the couch and fell softly along the pillow like a pool of boneless mountain spring water.

"It depends on whether our old lady and master can come back. If they are here, I can get away."

Fu Yu had heard about Miao's pregnancy and asked curiously, "The old lady doesn't need to say anything. The master should be away from home. Will he really come back for Miao Xiaoniang?"

There are so many courtesans from other places, all of them beautiful, thin and plump. How could Pei Yuan, that lecherous scoundrel, still think of his beautiful concubine at home?

Xie Fei said: "It would be hard to say in the past, but recently, our Lord feels that his health is deteriorating and he is anxious to leave an heir."

If he cared about the child, he would definitely abandon the courtesan and rush back overnight.

Fu Yu didn't like Pei Yuan very much. She always felt that he was lewd and looked at everyone with a lewd expression, like a wild beast ready to get horny at any time.

"I hope God will bless you and let you go back to the village early."

Fu Yu also said that Mother Liu and the others helped Xie Fei kill chickens and sheep first, and in the past two days they also slaughtered the pig that everyone raised together, waiting for Xie Fei to come back so that they could eat meat together.

Xie Fei thought about the comfortable life on the farm and couldn't help but yearn for it.

As they were talking, Miao's maid came to ask if Xie Fei wanted to go and watch the lantern festival in the evening.

Xie Fei was indeed very interested in the Lantern Festival. After all, he had been busy in the mansion for a few days and felt depressed.

However, since it was Miao who invited her, she had to be careful.

"Go back and tell your wife that I still have some account books to read, so I can only let her down."

The maid did not try to persuade him, but went back to report.

Fu Yu was also confused, "Miss, Miao Xiaoniang is not close to you, why did she invite you to the Lantern Festival?"

Xie Fei really took out an account book, loosened his shoulders, and prepared to start working.

"In the entire mansion, she can only look for me or Sister Wu."

Miao and Wu were favored, and Xie Fei was a noble concubine. Apart from them, how could the other concubines go to any lantern festival at will?
Xie Fei felt it was a pity, but lantern festivals were not uncommon in the capital. If he couldn't go this time, he could go next time.

She was concentrating on checking the account book, while Fu Yu waited beside her, being careful not to make any noise. Yuan San took a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the window frames, door frames, wooden pillars, etc. outside.

These originally clean decorations were all wiped clean by him.

Fu Yu was bored in the house, so he came out and sat on the doorstep, holding his cheeks with both hands, and asked, "Third Brother Yuan, are you bored too?"

Yuan San said: "Miss, you really won't go to the Lantern Festival tonight?"

Fu Yu sighed deeply.

"To be honest, I want to go, and the girl actually wants to go even more."

I just think that we should not create any more trouble for the time being. If Miao really has ulterior motives, it would be hard to guard against.

However, the lantern festivals near the end of the year and the Lantern Festival on the 15th are definitely the most lively, and the more you go, the less time you have to go.

Fu Yu had just finished complaining when Xie Fei's voice came from the room.

"If you want to play, go find a maid on duty in the mansion to play with you. But don't play too crazy, come back before curfew, and don't go to places where there are few people."

Fu Yu was really playful. He wanted to play, but he also felt bad about leaving Xie Fei here all alone.

Yuan San wiped the shiny white porcelain flower bed for the twenty-eighth time and said, "Go if you want to. I'll accompany you, girl."

Fu Yu's expression brightened, "Third Brother Yuan, you're not going to the Lantern Festival either?"

Yuan Sanbai said in boredom: "The government is very strict at the Lantern Festival. I am an illegal resident, so I'd better not go around."

Fu Yu was relieved then and hurried to find someone to play with.

Xie Fei asked her to bring some money with her, and if there was anything she wanted to play or eat, she could buy it.

Fu Yu took the purse and ran away happily.

Looking at her cheerful back, Yuan San shook his head.

"Still a child."

Xie Fei added, "That's right. Twelve or thirteen years old is the time to play."

Yuan San threw his handkerchief on the flower bed and leaned against the door.

It was already afternoon and snow had started to fall again. The sky was dark and we had to turn on lights in the house to see clearly.

Xie Fei was concentrating on looking through the account book. Compared to the initial panic, he was gradually becoming more comfortable with it.

Yuan San said: "At Fuyu's age, I can already shoulder many responsibilities. In the final analysis, it is because you, young lady, dote on her too much."

The girl from an ordinary family is already married.

Xie Fei put down the account book and sighed, "I know, but I raised her, so I always want to pamper her a little more.

Besides, she is only relaxed now. If she falls in love with a man in the future and insists on marrying him, she will no longer be as lively as she is now."

Yuan San said with a smile: "So, the girl doesn't want her to get married?"

Xie Fei said seriously, "Of course, is it good for a man to have one? Even if she stays by my side as an old maid for the rest of her life, I am willing to support her. It is better than her going to her husband's house and being bullied and humiliated."

Yuan San couldn't help laughing when he heard her talk so confidently.

"Girls regard men as monsters, so what do you think of me?"

Xie Fei was stunned and looked up at Yuan San.

Yuan San was leaning against the door. Although he was wearing a mask and dressed in plain clothes, his stature and temperament were outstanding.

He stood lazily, with the hairband on his head fluttering in the snow wind, looking independent and dignified, like an immortal.
