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

Chapter 115 Long Live the Good Man

Xie Fei stared at him for a long time. Yuan Sanda just let her look at him with a smile on his face. He looked carefree, gentle and affectionate, which made people feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Xie Fei quickly retracted his gaze and said, "Men are all the same, without exception."

Yuan San did not refute, but only sighed: "It's not the girl's fault that she is prejudiced against men. It's my fault that I didn't do well enough, which made the girl feel uneasy."

Xie Fei waved at him, "Get out quickly, you're blocking my light."

Yuan San looked back and wanted to ask, how did he block the candlelight on the table by standing at the door?

But Xie Fei had said so, and just as he was about to leave, Xie Fei ordered again, "Before you leave, go find the abacus for me."

"Yes." Yuan San worked hard and went to find the abacus.

By dusk, it was snowing heavily. The brazier in the house was burning brightly, which made Xie Fei inexplicably worried.

I don’t know if Fu Yu wore enough clothes before going out. If the snow and wind fill her lungs, she will definitely get sick again.

The mansion was a little deserted today, partly because Miao was pregnant, and Xie Fei had ordered that no one in the rooms or courtyards should make too much noise to avoid disturbing Miao.

The second reason was for the grand lantern festival. The maids and servants who were on leave, and even the old women, all went there. The rest of the people were depressed and quietly did their own things.

Xie Fei was standing in front of the window admiring the snow when Su Lu emerged from the snow holding a red plum oil-paper umbrella.

"Thank you, young lady. The old lady's carriage has already entered the city. The master has also sent back news that he is on his way to the capital."

Xie Feixi said: "Since the old lady and the master are back, can I leave now?"

Seeing that she was eager to go home, Su Lu smiled and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. You should go see the old lady first."

Xie Fei thought everything was fine, so he changed into his bathrobe, untied his hair, and prepared to lie down.

Who knows that when the old lady comes back, she will have to reply.

When meeting elders, you certainly can't be so lazy.

Xie Fei sat in front of the mirror and let Su Lu tie her hair.

Su Lu is deft with her hands. She can just tie her hair into a bun and accessorize it with one or two hairpins and rings, which makes her look exceptionally beautiful, fresh and refined.

Xie Fei said: "Miss Su Lu is much smarter than the average maid. Was she trained by the Ji family to serve the master personally?"

This girl is like a polygonal warrior. She can do ordinary housework and is also a housekeeper. She is also eloquent and good at judging the situation. She is smarter than an ordinary maid.

Su Lu put the earrings on Xie Fei and smiled softly, "My dear little lady, you are too kind. I grew up in the Ji family and had to learn to serve my masters and please them. Over time, I also learned some tricks."

Xie Fei sighed, "If my Fu Yu could be half as smart as you, I would feel relieved."

Su Lu was not a person who liked to ask questions or gossip. At this moment, she could not suppress her curiosity and said, "My young lady seems to treat Miss Fu Yu in a special way?"

Xie Fei stood up and Su Lu took the robe and put it on her.

Xie Fei recalled: "The child was probably only six or seven years old at the time. She was kneeling on the street and was about to die of illness. I felt sorry for her, so I took her home and raised her."

At that time, it was also the dead of winter with heavy snow.

Xie Fei, Zhuang Wenxiu, Xie Jing and others had just returned from Baiyun Temple.

As the carriage passed by the street, Xie Fei saw a straw mat on the side of the road, which seemed to contain a dead person.

There was a woman beating her chest and wailing, and next to her was a child with a straw tag on his head. He looked innocent, yet sickly and thin.

Xie Fei didn't know why, but he felt pity.

Recalling that time, she said with a smile: "In fact, at that time, I couldn't take care of myself, but I took out the last bit of my private money and bought her." Su Lu said: "The Xie family also allowed you to raise a sickly girl?"

Xie Fei heard the sound of snow falling, looked out the window, saw the heavy snow fluttering, and said faintly: "Of course it won't work."

She didn't know how long she had been begging, but the Xie family refused, saying what was the point of buying such a consumptive patient?

In the end, it was Xie Jing who begged for her, kneeling and being sick, which made the Xie family feel distressed and they had to agree.

Finally, there was a little girl who followed him around.

Obviously, it was a past event that was too painful to recall, but Xie Fei spoke of it with a smile, not caring at all about the small setback.

Su Lu saw this, lowered her eyebrows, and said, "It is Miss Fu Yu's blessing to meet this young lady."

Xie Fei sighed, "That girl is heartless, but she never thought about it this way. I just hope that she can live a stable life and live the life she wants."

In the evening, the snow was getting heavier. When the old lady's carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the roof of the carriage.

Xie Fei was waiting beside the stone lions, and Su Lu held an umbrella and welcomed the old lady out of the car.

After the old lady stood still, Xie Fei stepped forward and said, "The old lady is tired from running around. I have already asked someone to prepare..."

"Okay," the old lady interrupted her calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. How is Miao?"

Xie Fei calmly followed up the topic, "Several doctors said that Sister Miao's pregnancy is stable. Sister also thinks there is nothing serious. She will take the maids to enjoy the lanterns at the Lantern Festival today."

The old lady scolded: "She is pregnant, and you dare to allow her to go to the Lantern Festival?"

Xie Fei smiled and said, "Sister Miao's legs are on her own body. If she wants to go out, do I have to chop her legs off?"

Clearly, these were extremely disrespectful and offensive words, but she said them with a smile on her face and in soft and gentle voice.

She seemed to be speaking calmly, without any resentment, which made the old lady feel difficult to find fault with her for a moment.

Standing in the snow, the old lady felt cold and went back to Huiming Hall first.

After all, she is of a certain age and lives a life of luxury. She has been running back and forth between Pei Mansion and the Buddhist temple these days, and her face shows fatigue.

Xie Fei stayed with Miao in Huiming Hall. When Miao came back from watching the lanterns, he was called here to answer questions.

Although Miao was favored by Pei Yuan, she never set foot into the main hall of Huiming Hall.

Now, she finally felt that she was also a person valued by the old lady, so she couldn't help but be arrogant and look down on others.

The old lady first said some random things, and then instructed: "You are in a delicate state now, so let Xie take care of you during your pregnancy. She has some skills and is more suitable than anyone else."

More importantly, if anything goes wrong with Miao's pregnancy, Xie Fei will be held responsible.

As soon as the words came out, Xie Fei and Miao were stunned.

Xie Fei thought, what's wrong with this old woman's brain that has been gnawed by a pig?
Miao murmured in her heart that she and Xie Fei did not have much friendship, and Xie Fei seemed to have some knowledge of medicine. If Xie Fei did something secretly, she would be unable to defend herself.

Therefore, before Xie Fei could think of how to decline politely, Miao spoke first in dissatisfaction.

"Mother-in-law, the child I am carrying is not Xie's. Why should a concubine like her take care of it? It really doesn't work. The eldest lady is the legal wife, so she should be the one to take care of it."

There was a hint of disdain in these words, but Xie Fei was almost moved to tears.

Miao Fenger, you are a good person who deserves to live a hundred years!
