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

Chapter 192 A Brick
"As for that concubine," An Yuanhou was confused about this. He stared into Pei Yuan's eyes and said meaningfully, "You treat her well, right?"

Pei Yuan said seriously: "Grandpa, she is very important to me."

"She knows everything?" asked An Yuanhou.

"Yes," Pei Yuan did not hide it and said carefully, "Five years ago, I was seriously injured and she pulled me back from the brink of death. We have been together for the past five years."

Marquis Anyuan didn't know whether he should be relieved or sigh at the fate.

Why did the emperor choose Xie Fei from among so many female relatives to marry into the Pei Mansion?

Fate is probably beyond words.

An Yuanhou said: "Your grandmother and I had so many things going on that we were separated by the Yin and Yang. She should have been my legal wife, but I failed her. Every time I think about it now, I feel grief-stricken."

The only legitimate son born to his wife died young, leaving behind only one bloodline.

Even though Marquis Anyuan loved Pei Yuan as well as his family, he should have shown more sympathy to Pei Yuan.

He advised: "Since you like that concubine, you should take good care of her. Don't be like grandpa and leave regrets behind."

Pei Yuan solemnly agreed.

After a few days, the fake Pei Yuan got better and was sent back to the fourth room.

Xie Fei took a carriage and arrived at Pei Mansion with Fu Yu.

Ji Miaoxuan and Xiao Shirong came back a few days ago, and Xie Fei's brick was of no use for the time being, so he was getting anxious.

So as soon as she got home, she couldn't wait to run to Qiong Yuyuan to ask to see the eldest lady.

Xiao Shirong hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days.

She had been wondering, how could Xie Fei's "mistress" be Pei Yuan?

The only conclusion is that the person who rescued Xie Fei that night was Pei Yuan, and the real mistress was someone else.

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Xiao Shirong felt something was wrong and couldn't figure it out.

She was just worrying about Xie Fei when she heard that Xie Xiaoniang wanted to see her.

Although Xie Fei escaped death again, Xiao Shirong's contempt for her did not lessen in the slightest.

"Let her in."

Xie Fei quickly entered the room and said with a smile, "Madam, you don't look good. Have you done too many bad things? You often have nightmares, which keeps you awake at night?"

Xiao Shirong sneered and said, "I have no regrets about anything I have done. It's just that I failed to get rid of you, which makes me worried and uneasy."

Xie Fei chuckled and said playfully, "Madam, do you want to know what's going on?"

Xiao Shirong's face condensed, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you willing to tell me?"

Xie Fei said openly: "This matter is a secret. If the Madam is willing to dismiss the attendants, I will naturally be willing to tell you."

When Mother Wen heard this, she quickly said, "Madam, you must not do that. Who knows what she is up to!"

Xiao Shirong looked at Xie Fei coldly, and Xie Fei's eyes were full of innocence.

After a while, Xiao Shirong said, "It's okay, you guys go down first."

Mother Wen wanted to persuade her further, but was impatiently driven away by Xiao Shirong.

She just didn't believe that Xie Fei, a humble concubine, would dare to do anything to her, the mistress of the house, on Pei family's territory.

After everyone left and closed the door, Xie Fei suddenly pointed behind Xiao Shirong, "Ah!"

Xiao Shirong subconsciously looked back, but the next moment, her head was hit hard. The severe pain made her dizzy and her body fell uncontrollably.

Only after she fell to the ground did she barely see clearly that it was Xie Fei who took out a brick and hit her hard on the head.

Xie Fei said coldly: "Does it hurt?"

But it was not half as scary and desperate as the day she felt in the fire.

Blood flowed from Xiao Shirong's forehead, and even his ears seemed to be buzzing.

The arrogant lady was terrified to the extreme at this moment, because she found that Xie Fei raised the brick high again.

"You, you..." She pointed at Xie Fei tremblingly, and was about to shout for help, but Xie Fei quickly took out a silver needle and stabbed her neck, making her unable to make a sound. She was still struggling to crawl forward, but Xie Fei stepped on her waist and held her down.

Seeing her twisting wildly under his feet, Xie Fei bent over and sneered, "It turns out that a noble lady who is high above can also have such an embarrassing moment."

Xiao Shirong suppressed her fear and glared, but was met with another brick from Xie Fei.

The bricks were dripping with blood, and Xie Fei said indifferently: "I didn't expect that the lady would bleed. I thought you were made of steel and iron, so you would be so ruthless."

Xiao Shirong had a severe headache, but was more filled with fear.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered any physical injury, and had never even been scolded.

The pain caused by Xie Fei's two blows was far greater than that of the previous twenty years combined.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and when she looked at Xie Fei again, she was begging for mercy and was more afraid.

Xie Fei remained indifferent and pressed down another brick.

By the time Mother Wen and the others heard the noise inside and thought something was wrong and rushed in, Xiao Shirong's head was covered in blood and he was lying in a pool of blood, unable to move.

The crowd was shouting and some were rushing to call for a doctor, while others were holding Xie Fei down.

In the panic, Xie Fei remained calm and held the bloody brick without hiding his malice.

Xie Fei thought that she was not a cruel person. Most of the time, she was very rational and acted after careful consideration.

But this rational approach doesn't work in front of Xiao Shirong. Since Xiao Shirong is crazy, she might as well go crazy too and let Xiao Shirong experience firsthand what pain is.

The mansion was in chaos because of Xie Fei's dirty tricks.

The doctor arrived in time, and Xiao Shirong did not die, but his brain injury was more serious than Xie Fei's. The wound was bleeding profusely, and he was unable to wake up for a long time.

When Ji Miaoxuan ordered people to take Xie Fei to Huiming Hall, Xie Fei felt very regretful.

"I wanted to set another fire so that my wife could experience how exciting it is to escape from a fire. Unfortunately, Wen Mama and the others ran faster than dogs. Before I even started burning the curtains, they made a fuss and arrested me."

Xie Fei showed no intention of admitting his mistake or repenting. Instead, he just smiled, which made Ji Miaoxuan very angry.

This was not the first time that the old lady was speechless due to Xie Fei's anger, but usually it was just a minor quarrel. This time, it almost cost Xiao Shirong his life, and she could not just sit back and watch.

Looking down at Xie Fei, Ji Miaoxuan's eyes were like torches, and she said aggressively: "She is the principal wife, and you are just a concubine! As a concubine, you tried to kill the mistress. Are you trying to subvert the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues?"

Xie Fei sneered: "If I had that ability, why would I stay in this backyard as a concubine?"

If she really wanted to overthrow the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, she should have fired the first shot against feudalism and imperialism and wiped out all these people.

Ji Miaoxuan pressed her chest, feeling a sense of depression there, which was really uncomfortable.

Upon seeing this, Mother Deng tried to persuade Xie Fei earnestly.

"Thank you, young lady. Although the eldest lady is a little spoiled, you..."

Xie Fei interrupted.

"That's wrong. Using the word 'pampered' to describe the Madam is an insult to the word. Even the nobles in the palace cannot arbitrarily deprive the lives of palace ladies, but the Madam is stirring up trouble in the backyard and doesn't take the laws of Dajing seriously."

Her voice became louder and louder, and the servants outside Huiming Hall pricked up their ears to listen. No matter how Mother Deng hinted at her, she refused to lower her voice, determined to make things clear.

"As for my injury, it was the lady who knocked me out first and then set fire to the inn, trying to cover up the fact that she committed murder by claiming it was an 'accident'. If it weren't for the Lord who risked his life to protect me, I would be a piece of charcoal now.

She is crazy and lawless. Is such a person worthy of being a mistress or a human being? She murdered me first, and I am just retaliating. Besides, I haven't burned her to death yet.

"You, old lady, know how many lives Xiao Shirong has killed. Just because she is your niece, you allow her to take lives and do whatever she wants? You are really reading Buddhist scriptures into a dog's stomach!"

After being scolded and accused by Xie Fei passionately, Ji Miaoxuan tried her best to convince herself not to bother with a little concubine's daughter, but her body was still shaking slightly with anger.

It's not that she didn't know that what Xie Fei said was correct, but Xiao Shirong was her niece, representing her sister's in-laws and also the clan of her former lover.

No matter how fair it is, outsiders are not as important as relatives, and helping relatives instead of others is inevitable in wealthy families.

She ignored the issues of justice and was determined to deal with Xie Fei to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

"Your mother's family is the Xie family, which is also a well-known family. You did such a heinous thing and you still dare to make excuses!"
