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

Chapter 205: Being arrogant due to favor?

Fu Yu was not aware of the inside story. When Xie Fei arrived at Chaohui Pavilion, Pei Yuan was not there either.

This man, who was supposed to be "seriously ill", would disappear without a trace from time to time, and was not afraid of arousing suspicion from the people in the mansion.

Xie Fei closed the door and took the invitation to look at it.

The girl that Mrs. Zheng found for Pei Honglang this time was also the daughter of a high-ranking official, and Xie Fei knew a little about her.

The woman once had a fiancé, but the relationship ended in failure. She didn't get married until she reached a certain age, and all the officials' wives in the capital knew about it.

Perhaps Mrs. Zheng heard that the woman had excellent character, was well-educated and sensible, and must be a good match, so she hurriedly went to propose marriage.

Xie Fei expressed doubts about this.

"Mrs. Zheng really doesn't have a very good eye. Whether she's choosing a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law, she's always biased."

Fu Yu thought about Pei Zhaoyan's situation in her husband's family and nodded vigorously.

"That's right, young lady. I don't know what Madam Zheng likes about the Earl of Yongding's mansion. The house is even messier than the fourth room. I feel so sad for Madam Pei when I see it."

Fu Yu was frightened, and secretly decided in her heart that she would never get married and have children, to avoid a lot of troubles waiting for her from her parents-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and concubines.

As the wedding was still a few days away, Xie Fei put the invitation aside first.

Someone came to Qiong Yuyuan and said that the lady wanted to invite her over.

She took Su Lu with her and headed to Qiong Yu Garden.

In midsummer, the night breeze is cooler than the daytime.

Xiao Shirong sat on the couch with a basin of ice beside her and two maids fanning her.

There was also a handsome and charming man who was peeling grapes and feeding the crystal clear flesh to Xiao Shirong's mouth.

When Xiao Shirong opened her mouth, her tongue gently swept across the man's white fingertips. The man's earlobes turned red and he lowered his head and smiled dully.

Xiao Shirong was satisfied, and lay back comfortably, allowing the man to wash his hands, dry them, and then massage her legs.

She was wearing thin clothes, so the man lifted up her trouser legs directly. His fingers touched her delicate skin, leaving red marks on it.

When they first saw this scene, everyone in Fu Yu was stunned.

Xie Fei was not surprised. After bowing, he smiled and said, "It's very hot now, madam, you'd better take care of yourself and avoid seeking coolness."

Xiao Shirong sneered, "It's strange that you and I can still talk so respectfully, isn't it?"

They hit each other on the head and tried to kill each other several times, but on the surface, they were still so "harmonious".

It turns out that you have to be thick-skinned to survive in this world.

Xie Fei pretended not to hear and looked at the man again, "This man looks very familiar, who is he?"

She had actually recognized him. This was one of the actors who had appeared in the play at her house before.

This man is indeed extremely handsome, a real handsome man with a jade-faced appearance. He also seems to have a gentle and honest temperament. No wonder Xiao Shirong likes him.

Xiao Shirong said, "I only keep this actor to relieve my boredom. Sister Xie, you won't exaggerate things in front of the master and drive him away, right?"

Xie Fei said she didn't dare, and asked Xiao Shirong why he called her here.

Xiao Shirong waved her hand, and several beautiful maids came out from behind the curtain.

These were bought by Xiao Shirong for Pei Yuan, who said he wanted to take them as concubines to bring happiness to Pei Yuan.

"Bringing good fortune" was just an excuse. Who would have known that the master could not get close to women now, but Xiao Shirong specifically picked the beautiful ones to send to him.

Xie Fei began to suspect whether Xiao Shirong and Emperor Xuan had discussed this matter and whether they both used the same despicable method to deal with Pei Yuan.

Since the mistress wanted to take her concubine away, Xie Fei naturally had no way to stop her. He could only take her back to Chaohui Pavilion and let Pei Yuan deal with her.

Late at night, when Pei Yuan came back, he saw a few more beautiful women outside.

After a little careful thought, he knew it was Xiao Shirong's work.

Entering the inner room, Xie Fei was sitting by the bed, looking at him dimly. As soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Fei did not speak in a good tone.

"The master's health has improved, so it doesn't matter what you want to do. Madam, this is a sincere gift, are you willing to accept it?"

Finally, she added in a sarcastic tone, "I have some aphrodisiac prescriptions here. If you need them, I'll have Fu Yu send them over tomorrow."

Pei Yuan was confused at first, but seeing Xie Fei's angry face, he slowly understood.

He sat down next to Xie Fei, and Xie Fei felt a shadow falling on his head, and even the bed sank a little.

How could such a thin and tall person be so heavy?
Her thoughts were just wandering off in a mess, but Pei Yuan's words brought her back to the right track.

"Are you jealous, A Fei?"

Xie Fei was about to refute that she was not jealous, but then he sensitively noticed the name and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you call me?"

Pei Yuan had been running around outside all day, so he just lay down, supporting his head with one hand, looking lazy and casual.

"Afei."

You can't call her "girl" in front of outsiders as the master.

Xie Fei understood this truth in an instant, but he also felt that this name was indeed a bit strange.

"I'm really not used to it." She pinched her ears, not quite used to it.

Pei Yuan stared at her snow-white neck, his dark eyes concealing a turbulent depth of meaning.

"If I call you a few more times, you will naturally get used to it."

Xie Fei hesitated to speak.

After a while, she said in annoyance: "Don't change the subject. How are we going to place those pretty girls?"

Everyone knows that "Pei Yuan" is lustful.

Xiao Shirong sent such a beautiful girl. If Pei Yuan sent her away without even looking at her, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Xiao Shirong was not to be feared; she was only worried that the person in the palace would become suspicious again.

Pei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Since they are girls from innocent families, there is no reason to drag them down with him. It would be better to let them go in the name of praying for me."

Xie Fei understood, "I am the only one who can be the 'evil man'."

Pei Yuan praised: "You and I still have to quarrel."

So the next day, the news that the master and Xie Xiaoniang had a huge quarrel spread.

Xiao Shirong got up at noon and was deeply surprised when he learned the news.

"That bitch sent away my new concubine without telling my master?"

The maid helped her put on her clothes and said, "That's right. Miss Xie sent them to the Taoist temple overnight, saying that they would pray for the master for three months and then settle down. The master got up early and got furious when he found out. He listened to Miss Fu Yu's crying and complained, and Miss Xie was slapped in the face."

Xiao Shirong was puzzled.

She could never have imagined that Xie Fei would do something like this.

You know, in the past, Xie Fei didn't care about Pei Yuan's other girls.

Why did you suddenly go crazy and send the person away secretly?
Xiao Shirong was deep in thought when Su Lu came to bring her morning tea.

Xiao Shirong stopped him and asked, "What do you think of Xie Fei's behavior?"

Su Lu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, Miss Xie is jealous."

"Jealous?" Xiao Shirong showed an incredible expression.

Su Lu respectfully placed the morning tea on the table and said, "Mrs. Xie has been with the master for a long time. Maybe she is in love with him, or maybe she is spoiled. I don't find it strange."
