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

Chapter 212 Not Acceptable

"What did Madam Zheng say to the old lady? Was the old lady angry?" Xie Fei asked curiously.

Su Lu said: "No matter what complaints the eldest wife has, you should accept the old lady's orders and never show off in front of the eldest wife."

Otherwise it would be pure taking advantage of someone and there is no reason why you have to stab someone in the heart.

Xie Fei thought, if it were him, he would definitely feel calm if he lost the title he had obtained.

Madam Zheng was not an unreasonable person. She would figure it out after a while. This was not the Fourth House's plan. She had simply found a troublesome daughter-in-law who was eager to hand the knife to Emperor Xuan.

Putting down the abacus, Xie Fei looked out the window at the green summer and said quietly, "The days ahead are becoming more and more interesting."

At night, Xie Fei secretly counted the silver.

Ever since Pei Yuan was made a marquis, she had increased the monthly salary for everyone in the mansion, from the mistress to the servants, a little higher than before.

Naturally, her own income was also higher, and with the dividends from the shop, her small treasury was becoming more and more abundant.

But whenever she thought that Emperor Xuan might confiscate her property and exterminate her clan at any time, she felt uneasy. She always felt that these lovely little gold ingots and silver bars would eventually fall into someone else's hands.

So when Pei Yuan just came back, he saw Xie Fei holding a heavy box in a daze.

He has gold and silver in his hands, but he doesn't seem happy.

It's obvious what they are worried about.

He sat down next to Xie Fei, and only after the bed sank slightly did Xie Fei notice that he was back.

"You come to my place every day. The concubines in the mansion are all talking about when you changed your taste and fell in love with an ugly woman."

The lights were dim, Pei Yuan looked at her with a smile, his deep eyes were as clear as stars.

"Even if Ah Fei's face has been changed, you can still see some of your original charm. If one day they get to see your true face, they will definitely feel ashamed."

Xie Fei touched his face and sighed: "I originally planned to never use my face to see anyone in my life."

No matter what the world is like, it is not easy for women to survive. And women who are good-looking but have no power background are fat meat in the eyes of jackals, tigers and leopards, and everyone wants to take a bite.

She has always adhered to the principle that less trouble is worse than more. If this face only brings trouble, it is better to hide it.

only……

Glancing at the smiling Pei Yuan, Xie Fei lowered his eyes and put away all his thoughts, then ordered: "Take this box and hide it under the bed. Tomorrow I will ask Mother Liu to exchange it for silver notes for me and take it out of Pei's house."

Pei Yuan did as he was told and asked, "Are you so worried about your property being confiscated?"

"You won't hide your identity. One day, Emperor Xuan will know that you are 'you'."

Xie Fei understood that with Pei Yuan's character, it would be impossible for him to pretend to be Pei Yuan and indulge in wine and sex all his life in order to paralyze Emperor Xuan.

He has his self-esteem. He had no choice but to do so in the past, but now he will no longer hide his edge.

Therefore, a catastrophe will be waiting for the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, and it depends on who wins, Emperor Xuan or Pei Yuan.

When Xie Fei raised his head, he met Pei Yuan's restrained and gentle gaze.

Even if the sky fell, this man would remain calm and comfort her slowly and unhurriedly.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. The emperor has long wanted to destroy the Pei family. How can I just sit there and wait for death?"

Xie Fei stared at him for a long time before nodding. He then changed the subject and said, "It's getting late. You should go out."

Pei Yuan's originally calm and composed expression began to lose its composure, and even his eyes became pitiful.

"There are too many beautiful girls in Chaohui Pavilion. Can't you let me stay for a night and have some peace and quiet?"

Xie Fei pushed him out without any hesitation, "If you stay here tonight, my place will be crowded with people tomorrow!" Ever since Pei Yuan was made a marquis, the concubines became more active, ignoring the imperial physician's advice that Pei Yuan should not get close to women for the time being, and all of them dressed up beautifully and went straight to Pei Yuan.

Poor Pei Yuan couldn't "change his temperament" immediately, and he had to try his best to stick to his previous temperament and find ways to get rid of his concubines.

Xie Fei's "exclusive favor" at this time would inevitably make him a thorn in the eyes of the concubines.

Although she was not afraid, she still felt it was troublesome, so she decided to let Pei Yuan handle it himself.

She had already refused several times, but Pei Yuan really didn't want to go back to Chaohui Pavilion tonight.

The door was already closed. He was frustrated, but he did not get discouraged. Instead, he sat leisurely at the door, and his clear voice spread into the room through the door and windows.

"Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. It's not a good day for stargazing, but with A Fei accompanying me, even if..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Fei angrily opened the door a crack.

"Do you really have to sit outside my door and look at the stars?"

Pei Yuan said innocently: "The Pei family is all mine."

What's wrong with sitting at the door?
The threshold is his.

Xie Fei felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he endured it again and again before saying, "Is it possible? There are so many eyes on me in the mansion right now. What if someone spreads that you sat outside my door all night? What would the Pei family think? What would His Majesty think?"

Pei Yuan said sincerely: "I am a dull person, and I really don't know how others will feel. Can A Fei give me some advice?"

"..." Xie Fei looked at him carefully, "Why didn't I know you were so shameless before?"

Pei Yuan smiled sincerely and innocently, and Xie Fei's figure was reflected in his eyes, which were brighter than the stars and the moon. He was gentle, affectionate, yet unfathomable.

Under Xie Fei's angry gaze, he said with high spirits: "As long as I can get what I want, I can be even more shameless. Ah Fei, do you want to try?"

Before he could do anything more shameless, Xie Fei opened the door with gritted teeth.

Pei Yuan entered the room as he wished, but he did not occupy the bed as Xie Fei had guessed. Instead, he moved the couch in and slept outside the screen.

Xie Fei knew that he was only good at talking and would not force anything on her, but she did not expect that he would go to such an extent to avoid suspicion.

Looking sideways at the blurry figure behind the screen, Pei Yuan said, "Don't worry about your sleep. I won't take advantage of you."

Xie Fei snorted coldly, "Although I don't know how to use fists and feet, my teeth and nails can still be of some use."

Pei Yuan just smiled, his eyes were so scorching that he almost looked past the screen and stared at Xie Fei till he was riddled with holes.

Xie Fei was also a sensitive person. He knew how scorching Pei Yuan's gaze was, but he could only turn his back, face the inside, and dodge in a panic.

This world, this era, cannot tolerate self-righteous and noble souls.

She knew that she was not a very noble person. She did not have a unique noble birth, outstanding character and talent, and unparalleled beauty and charm.

But after living for more than ten years, deep down in my heart I still can't accept the idea of ​​multiple women sharing one man.

Even the prince consort can take concubines, so what can she use to ask her husband to stick to the ridiculous promise of being together for life?

Pei Yuan is a marquis, and in the future he may command a large army and hold a high position.

He had no fewer wives and concubines than others, and could not give Xie Fei the companionship he wanted.

No man can do it, so don't expect, don't hope, curl yourself up carefully, and completely seal up your true heart.

It is better to suffer less injuries than to be torn into pieces.
