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

Chapter 201 Inspection
Mother Liu is a middle-aged woman, so she doesn't find it difficult to say it out loud.

She said, "The lady and the master have never consummated their marriage, so she must have been lonely for many years. It's not surprising that she would act like this. But it's a little too blatant."

Xie Fei said: "The old lady is her aunt, and she protects her everywhere. The master is so sick and afraid of her, how can she not be blatant?"

She simply knew that no matter how big a noise she made, there would always be someone to clean up the mess for her.

Xie Fei hated everything about Xiao Shirong, except for her arrogant and self-centered personality.

That is the confidence and pride that only a daughter raised in power and love can have.

Xie Fei asked Mother Liu to keep the secret for now, not even telling Fu Yu, and just keep a close eye on what was happening in Qiong Yuyuan.

After dawn, Xie Fei received several boxes of generous gifts from Mrs. Zheng.

Perhaps he knew that she had treated Pei Zhaoyan, so he expressed his special thanks.

But the eldest lady was no longer in the mansion, and Madam Zheng was busy arranging a remarriage for Pei Honglang, so she had no time to come in person.

Xie Fei happily counted the items and asked Mother Liu to take note of them and carry them to the farm.

Theoretically, these things still belong to the Pei family and are not her private property.

She nominally gave it to the people of the farm as a reward, but after it was carried away, it became the property of Mother Liu and others, and the Pei family had no way of taking it back.

As soon as Pei Yuan came back, he saw her smiling like a little hamster with a good harvest, her cheeks were plump and she looked very happy.

After learning what happened, Pei Yuan said with a smile: "I will give you the farm someday and divide it into a few shops."

"And land!" Xie Fei's eyes lit up, sparkling as if he had seen gold.

Pei Yuan secretly looked at the mansion's account books and found that the fake Pei Yuan and Xiao Shirong had squandered all the money in recent years.

It would be difficult to recover in the short term, so it would be better to divide up some shops and land first, so that if something goes wrong in the future, you will have some private property.

He simply asked Xie Fei to get the account book, and they looked at it together to figure out which ones could be split off.

In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. Pei Yuan broke the fake's bones inch by inch, and then moved to the farm, waiting for him to die in pain and despair.

The real Pei Yuan also moved into the Pei Mansion and announced to the public that his health was getting better day by day, but he had chickenpox and was not fit to see anyone.

In the room, Xie Fei was beaming with joy as he held the account book in his hands.

Now she has a lot of private properties in her name, which she has given away under various names, especially the farmland, which she "sold" to Mother Liu and others. According to official documents, it no longer belongs to the Pei family.

The two of them handled these things in secret, and no news was leaked to the outside world.

Fu Yu didn't understand. Now that Pei Yuan was the lord, why was he still doing all this?
Xie Fei said: "What if one day my identity is exposed and the emperor finds an excuse to confiscate my property?"

Fu Yu suddenly realized what was going on. He was impressed but also felt it was too exaggerated. "You two are thinking too far ahead!"

Xie Fei said proudly: "This is called preparing for a rainy day!"

Who knows how that petty emperor is going to deal with the Pei family?

Rather than being left penniless after the property is confiscated in the future, it is better to "transfer property" first and leave yourself a way out.

Among these private properties, there was a dessert shop that sold herbal tea and pastries in the summer. Business was quite bleak and the shop suffered a considerable loss every month.

During the day, Xie Fei took Su Lu and Mother Liu to inspect the place. They found that the shop assistants were lazy and the shopkeeper was idle, and none of them had any energy at all.

They were servants of the Pei family, receiving a monthly salary. Regardless of whether the shop's business was good or bad, they had a fixed salary.

When Xie Fei arrived, the shopkeeper and his employees were still fighting crickets. The table was covered with dust and the smell of rotting fruits and vegetables came from the kitchen.

Su Lu stepped forward, coughed lightly, and said, "Boss, do you have any herbal tea?"

The shopkeeper didn't even turn his head and said impatiently: "We are closed today, go somewhere else!"

He stared at his own cricket, and seeing that he had lost, he angrily threw the plate away.

"No more playing, damn it, we've already lost a whole day!" The guys all laughed, and no one took Xie Fei at the door seriously.

Xie Fei was not annoyed. He took off his veil and looked at them quietly.

Su Lu raised her voice and continued, "Boss, my wife is passing by here and would like to drink a cup of herbal tea. May I trouble you?"

The shopkeeper then turned around, his face full of anger.

"Drink, drink, drink! I'm in a hurry to reincarnate! Didn't you hear me say that we're closing today?"

He was extremely impatient and looked ferocious, as if he was going to hit someone.

Mother Liu quickly protected Xie Fei behind her and shouted in a deep voice: "How dare you be so arrogant in front of my wife!"

The shopkeeper took a closer look but still didn't recognize Xie Fei.

However, one of the guys was smart and saw Su Lu and remembered that they seemed to have been here before.

He quickly whispered something to the shopkeeper, who changed his expression and walked up to him with an apologetic smile.

"I wonder which one of the Pei family this lady is from?"

Xie Fei walked straight to the center of the room, looked up at the layout, and shook his head slightly.

The manager of the mansion is too lazy. This should have been a good shop, but it has become like this.

Su Lu said to the shopkeeper, "This is Miss Xie. The shop is now under her name. Come meet her first."

Several people's expressions changed at the same time.

The previous owner of this shop was Xiao Shirong. They were fawning and were highly appreciated by Xiao Shirong, so their monthly salary was high. In addition, it was rare for people to come to the mansion to inspect, so they became even lazier.

But now that someone called Xie Xiaoniang had come, they were suddenly worried and didn't know what would happen.

Xie Fei wiped the stool with a handkerchief, sat down and was about to pour a cup of tea, but found that even the teapot was covered with dust.

The shopkeeper came over and said flatteringly, "Thank you, little lady. Please don't be offended. Business has been bad these days and no one has come in, so we..."

"It's okay," Xie Fei interrupted him with a smile, "The weather is hot, and there are few people walking outside, so naturally there is no business coming to our store."

"Yes, yes, you are so considerate." The shopkeeper smiled on the surface, but there was a hint of contempt in his heart.

So what about Xie Xiaoniang?

How much trouble can a young girl who is still wet behind the ears cause?

But before he could say a few more words to perfunctorily deal with her, Xie Fei said, "Su Lu, go check the account book. If there is no problem, pay these people their wages for this month."

Su Lu bowed to Xie Fei, then said to the shopkeeper, "Please give me the account book."

The shopkeeper's expression changed, "What does this mean?"

Xie Fei said: "I cannot tolerate lazy and cunning people. Now that this shop needs to be renovated, it is natural that you all should be renovated as well."

As soon as the words came out, everyone who had been careless and didn't take Xie Fei seriously, all changed their expressions.

The shopkeeper had been promoted by Xiao Shirong, so he was naturally more tough. He became extremely angry and slammed his fist on the table.

"The lady arranged for me to be here! Who do you think you are? How dare you tell me to get out?"

He did not take Xie Fei, a concubine, seriously, and even walked up to her and waved his fists, trying to scare Xie Fei into tears and leave.

But Mother Liu stepped forward and suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"You are so bold to be disrespectful to me!"
