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

Chapter 221 The Woman of My Dream
It was late at night, and Xie Fei still couldn't fall asleep.

Tonight is the first time that Pei Yuan does not take the initiative to sleep in Songyueju.

The screen was still placed in the middle of the room, but Pei Yuan was no longer at the other end.

In the second half of the night, Xie Fei couldn't sleep, and in a state of irritability he simply got up to look at the stars.

But the night was dark, the clouds were thick, and there was not a single star to be seen in the sky.

She sat on the cold stone bench, her shoulders and hair covered with a layer of frost.

Mother Liu came to talk to Xie Fei, holding a cup of hot tea and wearing a cape on her arm.

"My dear young lady, you are feeling uneasy today. Is it because you looked at the portrait during the day?"

Xie Fei closed his eyes and smiled, "That's right. If there is another person like Madam Xiao, the future will be very difficult."

Mother Liu put her cloak on her and said calmly, "I'm an experienced person. I know what you said is not true as soon as I heard it."

Xie Fei slowly opened his eyes.

Yes, she actually knew what she cared about.

The lady chosen this time will be Pei Yuan's only wife.

This mistress might be of a gentle and virtuous nature, and coupled with her noble status, it is very likely that she and Pei Yuan would get along harmoniously.

In the future, when they have children, their feelings will become deeper and deeper, and they will walk through their long life hand in hand.

When Pei Yuan really has someone to accompany him, she, the concubine, will gradually fade out of Pei Yuan's life.

All this is as it should be.

Even though I have anticipated this countless times, when this day is about to come, my heart still feels so blocked, as if a piece of it has been cut out of me, and I feel numb with pain.

Mother Liu picked up the hot tea and handed it to Xie Fei, and continued: "I am reluctant to leave, why don't you fight for it? You and the master have a different relationship. As long as you say that you want to become the mistress, the master will do everything to make it happen."

Xie Fei said faintly: "I dare not think about those things."

The more expectations there are, the greater the disappointment. When one's wishes cannot be fulfilled, the pain in her heart will turn into a shadow, making her even more hesitant next time.

Just like when she was a child and still had expectations of her father, she approached him countless times, but was always ruthlessly pushed away, laughed at and ridiculed, and no one responded to her.

She was afraid that she would say it out loud, but Pei Yuan looked at her with strange eyes and said to her, how is it possible?
Even though she knew Pei Yuan would not do so, she still trembled at her own assumptions, as if her self-esteem had been trampled to the ground and she did not have the strength to pick up the fragments.

Mother Liu stared at Xie Fei's numb profile for a long time before she sighed silently.

"My dear, I know that you are strong and resilient, but also timid and hesitant. But you are so young, and you still have many opportunities to make new choices in your life. Just this time, only this time, why don't you trust the master again, and trust yourself for once?"

Xie Fei was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to shift his gaze and look towards the dim night.

Believe...once?

However, it was too late.

Recalling Pei Yuan's expression when he said that he already had a candidate he liked, Xie Fei could only smile bitterly.

How noble and unique a woman must be to be favored by this man?

Early in the morning, Xie Fei was called to Huiming Hall to answer questions.

Ji Miaoxuan knelt in front of the Buddha and said, "Shirong was imprisoned yesterday. Are you satisfied?"

Xie Fei said: "Based on the madam's frame-ups and murders against me, I actually want to cut her into pieces with my own hands.

But she managed to save her life after all, which made me wake up in the middle of the night and beat my chest and stamp my feet, cursing the powerful and wealthy who were in power and could cover the sky with one hand, and the murderer did not have to pay with his life, how dark it was. "

The old lady was used to her arrogant words and now she was too lazy to care about them.

"That actor, can you put an end to him?"

Xie Fei said calmly: "I have reported the theft to the authorities and have sent him away privately."

Ji Miaoxuan turned her head, her eyes sharp and cruel. "I'm asking, can you kill him?"

Xie Fei was neither humble nor arrogant, and answered the question irrelevantly: "Before the new mistress came into the mansion, the master had already handed over all the affairs of the mansion to me to take care of."

Ji Miaoxuan sneered, "Are you hinting to me not to interfere with your decision?"

Xie Fei mocked, "What I mean is that you should stop meddling in other people's business and accumulate some good karma for yourself and the people in the underworld."

Ji Miaoxuan was so angry that she almost laughed.

Looking across the entire capital, there is absolutely no other concubine other than Xie Fei who dares to speak to the old lady like this.

She wanted to scold him, but Xie Fei had already stood up, patted his knees and left.

After leaving Huiming Hall, Fu Yu broke out in a cold sweat.

"My girl, are you crazy? How dare you talk to the old lady like that?"

Xie Fei said nonchalantly: "Why are you panicking? As soon as the new mistress arrives, we will leave the Pei family."

Fu Yu was stunned and couldn't help but stop, letting Xie Fei walk a long way before catching up.

"You, you mean, you don't want to be with the master anymore?"

Xie Fei said: "You are stupid. While we still have friendship, you should run away as soon as possible to become his beloved white moonlight. If you get tired of each other, it will be nothing but mosquito blood. Do you still want to regain your freedom and stay away from the capital?"

Fu Yu tilted her head, not understanding what Xie Fei meant for a long time.

"What white moonlight, what mosquito blood, what are you talking about?"

Xie Fei quickened his pace and said as he walked: "What I mean is, while we still have feelings for each other, I won't serve you anymore."

Fu Yu came to his senses after hearing this and said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to work with the Lord to take revenge on that person?"

Xie Fei was surprised and asked, "Did I say that?"

Fu Yu: “…”

"In short, once the new mistress enters the mansion, we will leave. Go to the farthest place, open a shop, farm the land, and live a different life." Xie Fei said firmly.

Fu Yu did not comment further.

She doesn't have a very flexible mind and can't think too far ahead.

Anyway, wherever Xie Fei goes, she will go there, as long as she can follow Xie Fei.

After Xiao Shirong was imprisoned, the atmosphere in the Marquis' Mansion became much more relaxed.

The concubines all gathered around Xie Fei, chatting and laughing, no longer showing any of their former restraint and caution.

Fang Qinrou even relaxed while cracking melon seeds, and said cheerfully, "It's a pity that Sister Wu is still praying in the temple and can't come back. She used to be most afraid of the eldest lady... Oh no, not the eldest lady anymore."

Fang Qinrou smiled awkwardly and said, "Anyway, if Sister Wu can come back someday, we can get together."

Xie Fei just smiled and stroked the rim of the cup lightly with his fingertips.

Everyone was chatting, except Xiang Xiaoniang, who was concerned about business.

"The master has been staying at my sister's place recently. I wonder if my sister has heard about the girl that the master likes as the new mistress?"

For a moment, everyone looked at Xie Fei nervously.

If there was another "Xiao Shirong", they would just line up and jump into the well.

Xie Fei smiled and said, "My Lord rarely tells me these things. He just wants to choose someone from a family of equal status. Otherwise, can't he find one among us?"

The concubines all laughed. Fang Qinrou said innocently, "Thank you, sister, for being your concubine. If the master wants to make you his wife, that's fine, right?"
