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

Chapter 194 Visitors
In Pei's house, Pei Yuan sat alone in front of the window.

The window was half-open, and a branch of crabapple blossom stretched out in front of it, its red double-petaled flowers delicate and bright.

Through the window crack, you can see the fake Pei Yuan wing opposite.

The beauties from the palace were like enchanting fairies, swaying their waists as they walked back and forth in front of the fake Pei Yuan.

The fake Pei Yuan was actually a sex-hungry ghost. While he was barely recovering under the care of the imperial physician, he was also impatient because of the deliberate temptation.

Sometimes, Pei Yuan couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.

If you want the fake thing to inherit the Anyuan Marquis Mansion so much, why do you send beauties to seduce him and keep him hanging in the air?

Or is it to confirm whether this "Pei Yuan" is really the same lecherous lecher?
There was only one thing that Pei Yuan was very sure of.

"A shady villain."

The emperor was petty, sensitive and suspicious. He hated the Pei family so much and was so jealous of Pei Su that he even resorted to the most despicable means to sever the bloodline of this branch of the Pei family.

As he was guessing, the door was suddenly pushed open.

He was still sitting on the couch with one leg on the ground, looking very leisurely and carefree. He did not turn around to look at the woman in plain clothes and white hair.

Ji Miaoxuan stood there for a long while, looking at him motionlessly.

Pei Yuan then turned around and said with a smile: "Mother didn't close the door, and if someone saw it, it would be a serious crime for the Yi Jiu clan. Even if you don't care about the Pei family, you have to hide it for the Xiao family."

Ji Miaoxuan withdrew her gaze but did not move.

She just said coldly: "I only have one request, you are not allowed to divorce Shirong."

Pei Yuan chuckled, stretched out his slender jade-like hand, and hooked the gorgeous crabapple tree.

"Don't worry, mother. In order not to alert the enemy, I will not take any action for the time being."

Ji Miaoxuan looked disgusted and continued, "As for the one from the Xie family, you have to get rid of her."

Pei Yuan was not at all disturbed, and only asked, "Last year's horse bandit incident was also mother's doing?"

Ji Miaoxuan answered the question irrelevantly, "No wonder she was able to escape danger time and time again, it turns out that you were the one giving her advice. This woman is cunning and insidious, and sooner or later you will be ruined by her!"

Pei Yuan didn't think much of it and just played with the crabapple tree, causing the branches to tremble and the petals to fall to the ground.

"Don't worry about it, mother. If you have this time, you might as well take care of Xiao Shirong. When the time comes, you have to think about how to keep her."

Being threatened like this, Ji Miaoxuan was furious and could only say sarcastically: "I really have a good son, but he turned against me just because of an ugly woman."

Pei Yuan sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have a good mother, otherwise I wouldn't be attacked from all sides like this."

Ji Miaoxuan's heart trembled and her face looked embarrassed.

Her breathing was a little difficult, and she took a moment to calm down before she said hastily, "The commander of the Imperial Guards, Lu Lingqiu, has come to visit us several times. It's up to you whether you want to see him or not!"

After saying that, Ji Miaoxuan left without looking back.

Pei Yuan still sat there, staring at what was happening in the room opposite.

At the farm, Xie Fei took ice out of the ice cellar and made a large pot of cold drink.

Fu Yu was forced to read a medical book. After smelling the fragrance, he ran to the kitchen and happily ate a big bowl of food.

As she ate, she said, "Girl, it's not even summer yet, why are you making ice drinks?"

Without waiting for Xie Fei's response, she suddenly realized something and shouted, "Oh, do you want to open a cold drink shop?"

Xie Fei said: "It's hard to say, the competitiveness is not enough." In the Dajing era, the food is very rich and complete, and all kinds of delicious food emerge in an endless stream.

Ordinary drinks, cakes, and dishes, some of which are even more refined than those in modern society. Even "hot pot" has been around for hundreds of years.

Most of the delicacies Xie Fei had tasted in modern times were leftovers from his ancestors.

Therefore, she didn't have much expectation of opening a gourmet food shop.

Fu Yu just said it casually. Since it doesn't work, then forget it.

She added: "But young lady, since Third Brother Yuan is the real master, can he divorce the eldest lady?"

Xie Fei said: "How is that possible?"

Emperor Xuan is now doubting whether Pei Yuan is genuine or not, and he may have sent out many spies. Any major move by the Pei Mansion will be reported to the palace at the first opportunity.

No matter whether it is divorce or divorce, the Xiao family will not remain indifferent. Any disturbance at that time may arouse Emperor Xuan's suspicion.

Although Xie Fei did not understand why Emperor Xuan was so against the fourth branch, judging from Pei Yuan's attitude, there must be many reasons behind it.

The master and servant were eating when Madam Zou came to deliver dividends.

The embroidery workshop is now slowly making money, and several families can get dividends every two or three months. Although it’s not much, it’s much better than before.

As soon as Madam Zou arrived, Xie Fei treated her to an ice drink. Although it was delicious, the weather was not hot after all, so Madam Zou did not dare to have too much.

As she ate, she said cheerfully, "We were talking about this yesterday. I am really a lucky star. Since you came to the farm, everything has been good!"

Xie Fei said: "You can't say that. Just like the previous incident with the horse bandits, if no one was injured, I would feel better."

Madam Zou was surprised and asked, "What are you talking about? Did you lead the bandits here? If it weren't for you, I don't know how many people would have survived. Don't take all the blame on yourself."

Xie Fei also hopes so.

Instead of thinking about it, she said, "Since the embroidery shop is on the right track, why not expand the shop a little bit and make some money while we need to change clothes in early summer."

Madam Zou naturally had no objection, and Xie Fei invested some more money and let them do their own thing.

She was counting the days until Fu Yu would turn thirteen, so that she could free him from slavery and open the pharmacy as soon as possible.

To this end, she has been forcing Fu Yu to study medical books every day, while she herself has also been developing various medicines to prepare for special situations in the future.

Fu Yu may howl as much as he wants, but when he's had enough he should just focus on honing his medical skills.

In the blink of an eye, it was late spring and early summer, and unexpected people came to the farm.

Pei Hongluo wandered around Xie Fei for a long time and said enviously, "I didn't know that living in the mountains and fields was so free and easy. No wonder Sister Xie doesn't want to go to the Pei family."

Xie Fei didn't know what this little ancestor was here for, and said vaguely: "The farm has its own tranquility, and the Pei family has its own wealth. But Miss Hong Luo, you are of noble status, come..."

"Oh, what's so noble about that?" Pei Hongluo interrupted her and said carelessly, "Although we are all from the Marquis' Mansion, our second branch is not an official in the court, and my father and brother are both businessmen. To be honest, we are not as good as your family, Sister Xie."

Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the status of the second branch is indeed not high.

Xie Fei didn't mention it again and asked Pei Hongluo directly about his purpose.

Pei Hongluo said that she came for the glass mirror.

Xie Fei forgot about this again, and slapped his forehead and said, "I was careless and didn't think of this."

She asked again with a smile, "Does Miss Hong Luo really like the kind of mirror I mentioned so much?"
