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

Chapter 214: Go straight to the point
Lianci's expression changed slightly, and then she said softly, "Madam, are you upset? Do you want me to ask a doctor to take a look?"

Xiao Shirong glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Get lost!"

Lianci said nothing and waited until Xiao Shirong finished vomiting before bringing her some hot tea and coaxing her to rinse her mouth.

"Madam, why do you have to get angry over a few words from others? Once the master dies, you will be the only mistress of the mansion. It will be easy for you to deal with these people then."

Xiao Shirong vomited so violently that her eyes turned red, and she looked particularly moving with tears in her eyes.

She held her chest, looking unwilling.

Why hasn’t Pei Yuan died yet?

That disgusting thing was clearly predicted by the imperial physician to not live long, so why is it getting better day by day?
The poison she used could not hurt Pei Yuan at all, and the beauty she sent was also sent away by Xie Fei under various pretexts.

Why is this so?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her stomach lurched and she couldn't help but dry heave.

She said pityingly, "The weather is changing from hot to cold now. Madam must have caught a cold. I still..."

Xiao Shirong was furious and raised her hand to slap him in the face.

"Shut your mouth, you bastard!"

Several fingerprints immediately appeared on Lianci's face, but she didn't care and continued to comfort Xiao Shirong with a smile.

He had followed Xiao Shirong for a relatively short period of time, but Xiao Shirong had already grown tired of him and was usually impatient and annoyed with him, often treating him with a cold face.

But he acted calm and not saddened by Xiao Shirong's indifference, nor worried about his impending fall from favor, as if he didn't care about anything.

Even Wen's mother couldn't figure out what he wanted.

In the autumn, the Pei family planned to renovate their mansion.

The mansion of the eldest wife was prepared for the future marquis, but they have lived there for many years, so we can't kick them out, can we?

The mansion of Marquis Anyuan itself is occupied by the old marquis and his wife, and they cannot be asked to move.

Emperor Xuan then issued an order to expand and renovate the fourth house to make the mansion worthy of the status of Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

This matter, after many twists and turns, fell on Xie Fei's head.

Xie Fei discussed with the craftsmen for a long time during the day, and just as he returned home in the evening, Xiang Xiaoniang came to find him.

During this period, Xiang Xiaoniang came to arrest Xie Fei no less than five times, but Xie Fei was really busy and was never available.

Xiang Xiaoniang couldn't sit still any longer and was determined to stop Xie Fei even in the middle of the night.

After finally meeting each other, she didn't dare to waste time with small talk and went straight to the point.

"The Madam seems to be unwell. I heard that she keeps retching. I don't know if it's because of a cold. Now that you, Sister Xie, have been asked by the Lord to manage the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, you should also pay more attention to the Madam."

Xie Fei was so busy all day that he was dizzy, but he didn't think that Xiang Xiaoniang was just here to tell him this kind of thing.

She said calmly, "Madam is not a child anymore. If she is unwell, she will naturally ask a doctor. Why should Sister Xiang worry about it?"

Xiang Xiaoniang said: "Maybe, the lady doesn't want others to know?"

Xie Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Qiong Yuyuan is like an iron barrel from top to bottom. If the lady didn't want people to find out, how did Sister Xiang know about it?"

Xiang Xiaoniang laughed awkwardly and said nothing more.

Xie Fei understood that she would not say this for no reason.

Retching?

Could it be?

Xie Fei remained calm and pretended not to know. Construction and expansion of Pei Mansion began, and Pei Yuan's health was getting better day by day.

The man who couldn't speak and had difficulty moving before is now getting healthier and healthier. Not only can he move freely, he is also in high spirits and full of righteousness, which is completely different from before.

Occasionally, when the concubines walked around the mansion, they could not help blushing when they saw this handsome, heroic and steady man, and they would try every means to approach him and strike up a conversation with him.

Pei Yuan then told everyone in a righteous manner that the doctor had advised him to keep himself clean and not indulge himself too much.

The concubines felt very disappointed for a moment, but soon cheered up, saying that even if they could not serve at night, as long as they could stay with their master and serve him with writing and meals, their lives would not be in vain.

Even after talking about this, Pei Yuan still avoided people as if they were snakes and scorpions, and treated everyone he met with a cold face.

At night, he still went to Xie Fei's place for some quiet time.

Xie Fei was counting the money, worrying about how much money he had spent on the expansion recently.

Although the imperial court also allocated funds, the Pei family still had to pay most of the shortfall themselves.

If the emperor hadn't issued an edict, she really didn't want to spend this money in vain.

While settling the accounts, Xie Fei did not forget the main business and said, "By the way, the lady may be pregnant."

Pei Yuan was a little surprised, "Really?"

He had known about Xiao Shirong's affair with the actor for a long time, but no matter what, Xiao Shirong would not be so arrogant as to get pregnant with an actor's child.

She looked down on actors and kept them around just for fun. Even if she wanted to leave a bloodline, she would never look for such a "lowly" person.

Xie Fei looked at the account book without raising his head, and said distractedly: "I asked Mother Liu to check the background of the actor, it's very interesting."

She explained it in a few words, and Pei Yuan also found it interesting.

"He came prepared and was determined to die."

Xie Fei sighed, not knowing how to feel about it.

"There are too many miserable people in this world. I haven't experienced their suffering, so I naturally can't empathize with them. I can only say that it's karma, and it depends on God's will."

After saying that, she continued to settle the accounts. Pei Yuan sat opposite her, looking at her dimly.

She pretended not to notice the overly explicit gaze and continued doing her own thing, but this man became more and more presumptuous. His eyes were burning and intense, staring at her intently, causing her face to gradually turn red.

Lifting the account book to cover his face, Xie Fei said calmly, "What's so good about it?"

Pei Yuan said calmly: "A Fei is beautiful in every way, so naturally people can't take their eyes away."

Since he restored his identity, this man's eloquence has improved and he has become more and more shameless.

Xie Fei said: "If you keep looking around, you can go back to your Chaohui Pavilion. I won't take you in."

Pei Yuan raised his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Then I will stand guard outside A Fei's door, just like before."

Wasn’t it the same when he was Yuan San?
Xie Fei ignored it and waited until he finished his work and lay down on the bed. The two of them still slept separately.

A translucent screen separates the two people in the room, yet keeps them closely connected.

The Pei Mansion was expanding in an orderly manner. Xie Fei took some time out to go to Qiong Yuyuan to ask about Xiao Shirong's well-being.

Xiao Shirong lay lazily, not wanting to move at all. There were not many people serving her, only one person knelt on the ground and gently massaged her legs out of pity.

"Although I am the mistress of the Marquis's family, compared to Sister Xie, I am more like a concubine." Xiao Shirong said coldly: "I am really surprised that Sister Xie still remembered to greet you."

Xie Fei smiled and said, "I know that I am not favored by the Madam. Rather than asking for respect every day and annoying the Madam, I'd better be smart and not hang around the Madam."
