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

Chapter 134 Are You a Bastard?
In Baiyun Temple, Xie Fei added incense money and worshipped the God of Wealth and the King of Medicine as usual.

After coming out, I didn't see Yuan San.

She waited for a while before Yuan San came out from the side hall.

Xie Fei noticed that that was the road leading to General Pei’s tombstone.

Thinking about all the things that happened before, she felt more and more that there seemed to be some hidden relationship between Yuan San and General Pei.

Yuan San was holding a bouquet of lilies, which were shipped from the flower capital where the weather was as warm as spring. They were specially used for royal relatives and nobles and were very valuable.

Xie Fei asked, "Did you use all the New Year's money I gave you to buy lilies?"

"Isn't it rare to be able to sell this kind of flowers in winter?" Yuan San originally wanted to give the bouquet of flowers in his hand to Xie Fei, but in public, a man dressed as a servant would inevitably attract attention if he did this.

Xie Fei noticed that his bouquet of flowers was not a complete one and should have been divided into two halves.

Looking at the direction he came from, could it be that he was enshrined in front of the general’s tombstone?

The two of them walked down the mountain, and when there were fewer people on the path, Xie Fei asked about his doubts in a joking tone.

"Could it be that you are General Pei's illegitimate son?"

Yuan San paused.

Xie Fei didn't look back, she held up her skirt and walked across the bluestone road, she said to herself: "Don't tell me you just admire the general's style. It seems that you know the Pei family very well, it seems that it's not that simple."

She had walked a long way and still didn't stop, so Yuan San had no choice but to sigh and follow her.

"Why don't you guess, young lady? I am actually the child of one of General Pei's concubines?"

Xie Fei said: "I heard that the general is very self-disciplined and only married our old lady, not even a concubine. I just don't know if he has any other actions when he is far away at the border."

After all, he is a man, strong and healthy, and he has a bad relationship with the old lady.

It is quite normal to have several concubines and give birth to several children at the border.

Yuan San said: "The girl is very smart, but unfortunately she guessed wrong."

He is indeed not an illegitimate child.

Xie Fei just said it casually. She would not delve too deeply into whose child Yuan San was or what his background was.

For such private matters, the other party always has to speak up in person, otherwise it would be boring to keep guessing.

There was one more thing that she was also concerned about.

"What grudge does the old lady have with our general that could make her disregard even her own flesh and blood? Was it originally taken away by force?"

What Xie Fei couldn't understand the most was the old lady's attitude towards the Pei Mansion.

Even if she had a huge grudge against General Pei, Pei Yuan was still her biological son.

The daughter of a princess, a real lady from a noble family, who was trained to be in charge of household chores since childhood, it is impossible for her not to know that spoiling a child is like killing him.

Pei Yuan visited prostitutes and gambled, but the old lady turned a blind eye.

Pei Yuan's concubines and their children were killed, but the old lady remained indifferent.

No matter which mother it is, even if she has a huge hatred, she should not be so cruel and decisive.

Xie Fei also asked Su Lu indirectly, but Su Lu seemed to be unaware of the truth.

Now, she came to ask Yuan San again, hoping that Yuan San could give her an answer.

However, Yuan San smiled and said, "This should be the most secret thing. As a servant, no matter how hard I try, I really can't figure it out."

Xie Fei sighed, "This mansion is shrouded in mystery, and it's really frustrating to keep guessing." In the blink of an eye, it was night, and the Pei family held a banquet to entertain the Xiao family.

Xiao Shirong served food and poured wine to her parents with a smile on her face, which was very different from her usual arrogant and domineering appearance.

She was happy, but Pei Yuan felt very uncomfortable. Facing the cold and majestic gaze of his father-in-law, even his hands were shaking as he held the cup.

Father Xiao felt really disappointed to see his son-in-law being so cowardly.

But his daughter is already married and is a member of the Pei family from now on. Even if he doesn't like her, he still has to worry about her.

"Brother Yuan is getting old now. It is not the right path for him to be idle all the time. He should study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and bring honor to the family."

Mother Xiao continued, "Yes, the wealth created by your brother-in-law is not enough for you to squander your whole life. A man should make achievements and establish his career. If you are always ignorant and unlearned, what kind of hero are you?"

Pei Yuan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he subconsciously looked at the old lady, but the old lady ignored him.

He had to bite the bullet and try hard to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth.

"I, I don't have any interest in becoming an official. Anyway, my family has land and shops. As long as I work hard in business..."

"Snapped!"

Father Xiao suddenly slammed the table, frightening Pei Yuan so much that he almost jumped up.

Father Xiao was furious and said, "Your ancestors were from the royal family of the founding emperor, your grandfather was the Marquis of Anyuan, and your father was a general. Which one of them didn't work hard for the court? But you are the only one in the family, and you don't think about making progress all day long. You just eat, drink, whore and gamble. What a shame!"

Pei Yuan was frightened and felt unconvinced, but he did not dare to refute.

He hunched his shoulders and didn't dare to breathe.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Shirong was extremely happy and proud, and he wished that his father would scold him a few more times so that he would lose face and hang himself.

Pei Yuan's reaction disappointed the two elders of the Xiao family.

When he was young, he was a smart and bright child. Why did he behave like this when he grew up?
After a long time, Father Xiao sighed and softened his tone.

"I used to work with your father. He was a gentleman who was kind, brave, and gentle. It's a pity that he died young, leaving you as his only child. Even for your father's sake, you should work hard to become a better person."

Pei Yuan didn't listen to a single word of Xiao's father's teachings.

He cursed in his heart, "Old man, do I need you to teach me a lesson? You disrespectful old man, take care of your vicious daughter first!"

The family dinner ended in a bad mood due to Xiao's father's earnest advice.

As soon as the banquet was over, Pei Yuan ran away as fast as he could to look for the girls in his room.

The two elders of the Xiao family also sent Xiao Shirong back to Qiong Yuyuan and dismissed the servants.

Xiao Shirong said aggrievedly, "Father and mother, you finally saw Pei Yuan's behavior with your own eyes. You know that what I said in the letter was not an exaggeration, right?"

She wrote so many letters home to complain, but her parents always said that after marriage, she should take care of the household chores, maintain stability in the home, and encourage her husband to make progress, which were her duties as the wife.

If her husband is not motivated to make progress, she should give him some advice instead of just complaining.

Xiao Shirong was angry and aggrieved, and hoped that her parents would understand her and allow her to divorce and remarry.

However, even after seeing Pei Yuan in person, the two elders refused to agree to her request.

Mother Xiao said, "Rong'er, no matter what, you have already married Brother Yuan. As the legal wife, you should be tolerant and tolerant. Even if Brother Yuan does something wrong, you should persuade him more."

Xiao Shirong said angrily, "Father has been trying to persuade him for a long time today. You see, he is shaking his legs and yawning. Did he listen to me? He has many concubines in his room now, and he won't listen to a word I say!"
