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

Chapter 207: Remarriage
Unlike his rough face behind the disguise, Xie Fei's wrists were slender and smooth, and felt like cool jade to the touch.

Pei Yuan gently rubbed her skin with his fingertips and said meaningfully, "You go back to Songyueju every night. If this gets out, who would believe that I dote on you?"

Xie Fei's eyes moved from his wrist to his face, and he said meaningfully: "Master, you have venereal disease."

Pei Yuan: “…”

Xie Fei continued, "Your room is neither big nor small, but there is only one bed. Do you think I should sleep on the bed and you should sleep on the floor?"

Pei Yuan was unwilling to give up and said, "In name only..."

Xie Fei shook his finger. "Although it's hot in the summer, it's hard to avoid catching a cold if you sleep on the floor at night. For the sake of your health, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving Pei Yuan sighing alone.

As soon as he returned to Songyueju, Xie Fei slapped his chest.

Fu Yu had just come back from inquiring about the news, and when he saw this, he asked in surprise: "Girl, did you encounter a ghost?" Are you so scared?
Xie Fei didn't notice Fu Yu at the window at all. He jumped up in fright when he heard that, and glared at Fu Yu with wide eyes.

Fu Yu: "...You are so frightened, why don't you go to Baiyun Temple to exorcise the evil spirits?"

Xie Fei then realized that the person who spoke was Fu Yu, and said unhappily: "Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

Fu Yu's face was full of confusion.

It was obvious that she had been back for a long time. The lights were on in the room, and although it was a little dim, it shouldn't be so difficult that Xie Fei couldn't notice a person as big as her standing there, right?

She was always careless, but now she was inspired and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Xie Fei poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it, then covered it up by saying, "I almost ran into a ghost on the way back. It scared me."

Fu Yu said disdainfully, "I used to sneak to mass graves in the middle of the night to find corpses to practice dissection, but I never saw you being so timid."

Xie Fei said innocently: "Didn't I erect a monument and offer sacrifices afterwards? I'm sure the ghosts will forgive me. What's so scary about that?"

If Fu Yu believed it, all these years with Xie Fei would be in vain.

She moved closer to Xie Fei and asked curiously, "Normally, if a person is frightened, his face must be pale, but why is your face red?"

Xie Fei, whose cheeks were burning, calmly pushed her away, "The light is too dim, you must have seen it wrong."

Fu Yu was about to ask more, but Xie Fei had already taken his clothes and went to take a bath.

After curling up in the bathtub, Xie Fei scooped up some water and poured it on his face.

Until now, my heart is still pounding.

It’s not like I haven’t told myself that things are different now.

Pei Yuan was no longer a "servant" beside her, but her nominal husband.

The two of them shouldn't have gotten along the same way as before.

Moreover, if Pei Yuan is willing...

Xie Fei immersed himself completely in the water, leaving only gurgling bubbles on the surface.

The next morning, everyone in the mansion knew that the master would go to the main house with Xie Xiaoniang to attend the wedding banquet.

After the two men left, the frightened concubines were all at Xiang Xiaoniang's place.

Fang Qin said softly, "Since Miao's passing, the relationship between the Master and Sister Xie has been getting better and better."

Another concubine said, "Sister Xie is gentle and dignified. As long as we don't provoke her, she will treat us well. Isn't it easier to get along with her than Miao and the eldest lady?" Another concubine said, "But Xie is ugly, not even as good as one of our fingers. Let her become the master's favorite. Isn't this a naked mockery of us, not as good as an ugly woman?"

The crowd started arguing fiercely, and half of them had complaints about Xie Fei.

The other half felt that if Xie Fei remained true to himself while being favored, it would also be good for them.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and when the argument became out of control, Xiang Xiaoniang came out to mediate.

Xiang Xiaoniang said: "Although Sister Xie has an ordinary appearance, she is truly kind-hearted. She also served the master wholeheartedly when he was ill. The master must understand her feelings, so he dotes on her extra. What's so puzzling about this?"

Everyone knows that Pei Yuan only loves beautiful women, but if Xie Fei is the only one who is devoted to him when he is on the verge of death, even a heart of stone would be moved.

Everyone figured this out, and gradually they felt that it was not hard to understand why Xie Fei was favored.

A concubine murmured, "But it's a pity to let an ugly woman take the lead."

Everyone had the same feeling.

The fake Pei Yuan was lustful, and the women he married as concubines were all of excellent appearance.

Therefore, even the most inconspicuous concubine had a much better appearance than Xie Fei's disguised appearance.

The concubines became more active in their thinking, thinking that if even Xie Fei could gain favor, wouldn't they have a greater chance?
The carriage set off for the eldest wife's mansion. Xie Fei saw red silk hanging along the streets. The servants of the Pei family were scattering money and candies, beating gongs and drums, making a huge noise.

"It seems that the first wife attaches great importance to Pei Shaoqing's concubine, and the ceremony is very grand."

Pei Yuan was sitting lazily, his face made a little paler by the painting made by Xie Fei, even his lips were bloodless, which made him look more frail and beautiful.

He said lazily, "The new wife that my aunt married to my brother is the legitimate daughter of Minister Zhao. She is of high status and my brother is the second wife, so he cannot be too low-key."

Xie Fei asked curiously, "Although I have heard about this young lady from the Zhao family, I have never met her in person, let alone gotten to know her. I wonder if her character and talent are really as outstanding as the rumors in the capital say?"

Pei Yuan was slightly confused. "I know very little about the women in the capital, but judging from my aunt's opinion, most of them are not worthy of their reputation."

Pei Yuan had no hope for Mrs. Zheng's vision.

Xie Fei said with a smile: "Pei Shaoqing is the eldest son of the first wife, and he is also the grandson of the old lady. I believe the old lady will also make many inquiries and will not let Madam Zheng decide alone."

In any case, as younger brothers and sisters, Pei Yuan and Xie Fei naturally hope that Pei Honglang can find a good wife and not meet someone who doesn't know the limits again.

The carriage soon arrived at the main house. Because Pei Yuan came in person and Xie Fei was very much liked by Madam Zheng, servants came to greet them as soon as they got off the carriage.

Pei Yuan looked sickly since he got off the car. He was out of breath after walking a few steps. Xie Fei supported him, but his eyes were not honest. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, his eyes would be glued to her.

Xie Fei pretended to be angry and slapped him hard a few times, and he then smiled awkwardly and looked away.

When people around saw this, they felt both contempt and amusement.

Master Pei, who usually couldn't wait to cling to women, not only had an unspeakable disease, but he also had to be looked after so closely by an ugly woman. It was really ridiculous.

Pei Honglang was welcoming guests at the main entrance. Seeing Pei Yuan and Xie Fei arriving from afar, he immediately apologized to his colleagues with a fist bump and then strode over.

He was wearing wedding clothes and had a joyful look on his face. He came up and said, "Brother Yuan, sister-in-law, you came at the right time. Please greet them for me. I am almost too busy to handle everything."

Pei Yuan coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Everyone wants to avoid me when I'm like this. I'd better go to a corner in the hall to avoid..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Pei Honglang said seriously, "You are my brother. Anyone who looks down on you will be offended by the entire Marquis' Mansion!"
