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

Chapter 181 Torture
The fake Pei Yuan cried out, the sound coming out of his throat was hoarse and painful.

The servants were in chaos, kneeling down and begging the Marquis to calm down. Even Ji Miaoxuan and Xiao Shirong knelt down again, but did not plead for the fake Pei Yuan.

The fake Pei Yuan was almost frightened to the point of peeing his pants, with tears and snot streaming down his face.

Seeing that Marquis Anyuan was about to take action, the old lady quickly protected the fake Pei Yuan, really like an extremely kind grandmother.

"My Lord, Brother Yuan has become like that, can't you feel more sorry for him?"

Anyuan Hou's savage face was filled with anger, and his resentment almost turned into flames.

"Feeling sorry? He is young and has no ambition. He only knows how to spend his time drinking and partying. That's why he got sick! How can he wake up if I don't whip him a few times?"

The old lady pleaded bitterly, "No matter how wrong he is, he is still the flesh and blood of the Pei family. He is weak now, how can he bear these whips from you?"

An Yuanhou became even more angry and said sternly: "Who the hell is he? How dare he call himself a member of my Pei family? If my Pei family had such a waste, we should have shot him to death long ago to avoid embarrassment!"

The old lady said earnestly, "Yuan'er is your biological grandson, and the only flesh and blood left by Silang. Why do you have to say such inappropriate things? Moreover, he grew up under your lap. Have you forgotten how much you loved him in the past?"

An Yuanhou was so angry that he trembled and said sadly: "I also had high hopes for him, but it's a pity that he fell into depravity. If I had known this would happen, why would I have bothered to cultivate him?"

The fake Pei Yuan trembled, lowered his head and dared not to look at An Yuanhou's reaction, his trembling lips kept muttering: You old bastard, when I get better, I will make sure you die without a burial place!
Marquis Anyuan seemed to see through his unwillingness and wanted to teach them a lesson, but the old lady and the servants begged for mercy.

Marquis Anyuan was furious, but was afraid that he might really kill his grandson in a rage, so he whipped the ground with a whip, which made a loud bang, and then turned around and left.

Everyone saw him off respectfully, except Xie Fei, who was dumbfounded.

No, I just came in here specifically to give some whipping. Is it necessary to bring a large group of people with me?

Xie Fei didn't understand why Marquis Anyuan brought the army into the back house, and now he was even more confused.

But judging from the expressions of the others, they didn't seem surprised.

The fake Pei Yuan didn't know whether he was afraid or sad, he actually started to sob, thinking that such a handsome face was wasted.

Because he was crying so miserably and twitching, as if he was about to faint at any time, Xiao Shirong came out and suggested that the master should go to the side room to rest for a while.

The old lady took charge and asked someone to send Pei Yuan to his room to calm down first, and the rest of the matter would be discussed later.

He was arranged to stay in the courtyard where Xie Fei lived, separated from Xie Fei's room by only a wall.

The servants carried him into the room, and he did not take a single step by himself from beginning to end.

He is clearly not paralyzed, but he refuses to move on his own. If this continues for a long time, he will be no different from a paralyzed person.

Xie Fei was standing in the yard. At some point, Xiao Shirong came forward.

Hearing the intermittent crying coming from the room, Xiao Shirong said disdainfully: "A grown man cries like this after being whipped. I don't know how he survived the border."

It is a shame to spend your life with such a cowardly and selfish thing.

Xie Fei said calmly: "Madam and the Lord are cousins, so they must have had some affection for each other when they were young?"

Xiao Shirong smiled coldly and looked at Xie Fei.

"What does it matter if we have feelings for each other? Xie, you and I are the same kind of people. Even if you pretend to be calm and indifferent, you are still noble in your bones. You look down on this loser, how can I?"

When she was young, she and Pei Yuan did spend some time together because of their mothers.

At that time, we were just cousins ​​and there was no romance involved.

Xiao Shirong is arrogant and proud, while Pei Yuan is the relatively gentle and tolerant one.

Xiao Shirong still remembers that she often got into trouble at that time, but because she was afraid of being scolded by her parents, she always hid and refused to show up.

Pei Yuan would sigh and help her clean up the mess, then put on a stern face, act like a brother, and teach her a lesson. She admitted defeat in her heart, but she refused to accept it, and turned around to bully Pei Yuan. But Pei Yuan always tolerated her because she was his younger sister, and would not complain to the elders.

So even when she later went from being a candidate for Crown Princess to becoming Pei Yuan's wife, Xiao Shirong was not completely desperate.

She kept comforting herself that since she couldn't enter the Eastern Palace, it would be good if she could marry her cousin.

At least we know each other well and there is a layer of fate between us. My cousin is also an open-minded and calm person.

But she never expected that not long after she married into the Pei family, an incident occurred at the border, General Pei was killed in battle, and Pei Yuan was sent back to Beijing.

The first time I saw that man's crude and shallow character, my already depressed heart sank to the bottom again.

She could never understand how the handsome and stunning cousin she had been when she was young could have become so disgusting.

At this point, even the affection we had in our childhood has disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Shirong looked at the open door and heard the hoarse howling of the fake Pei Yuan coming from inside, without any mercy.

She chuckled as if remembering something, and then said to Xie Fei: "The old lady is going to have a family dinner tonight, you can come too."

Xie Fei was in the Marquis's residence, so there was no reason for her not to go, so she bowed and said, "I will be there on time."

Xiao Shirong looked at her playfully again before leaving.

Xie Fei walked slowly to the door of the room and saw the fake Pei Yuan being moved from the chair to the bed, but his feet were still off the ground, as if his legs were useless.

He couldn't shout out loudly, his teeth were trembling, his lips were stammering as he called out "Feng'er", murmuring over and over again with deep affection.

If Miao Fenger knew about this in her afterlife, would she be grateful for his deep love or scold him for being pretentious?

The servants settled Pei Yuan down and left the room one by one.

Xie Fei went in and looked at the fake Pei Yuan expressionlessly.

The fake Pei Yuan was still cursing, but he was short of breath and had chest tightness. After a while, he was gasping for breath, as if he was going to die at any time.

But he was young after all, his physical condition was still good, and he would not die for a while, so he suffered in endless pain.

In the front hall, the masters were drinking tea calmly.

Previously, Ji Miaoxuan and the old lady had been arguing until they were red in the face. However, when Ji Miaoxuan gained the upper hand and saved Xiao Shirong, the two of them returned to their former harmony, as if nothing had happened.

Ji Miaoxuan brewed the tea, brought it to the old lady personally, and knelt down to serve it to her.

"Madam, please have some tea."

The old lady looked displeased and did not take the tea.

"Miaoxuan, you are already an old person, don't just focus on accumulating merit and practicing, but don't care about Yuan Ge'er's life or death."

The old lady sighed, and in front of Xiao Shirong and the servants, she began to persuade Ji Miaoxuan.

"I also know that you have a knot in your heart, but the death of that child back then really had nothing to do with Shilang."

In an instant, Ji Miaoxuan's face changed drastically.

Xiao Shirong and the servants also pricked up their ears, wondering who the old lady was referring to as "that child".

The old lady continued, "Silang's feelings for you are clear to all. He doesn't even mind you having an affair with someone else and getting pregnant. He would rather turn against his father than not take you into his family."
