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

Chapter 222 Damn it!
Everyone felt that the relationship between Pei Yuan and Xie Fei was growing deeper and deeper.

Although Pei Yuan's health is improving now, he is still distant and cold towards his concubines and never calls anyone to sleep with him.

Only Xie Fei could still speak to him.

Because they had never actually been around the two of them, the concubines had no idea how they got along. They just felt that their master treated Xie Fei better than he treated them.

Fang Qinrou asked the question, and everyone looked at Xie Fei again.

Xie Fei considered and said, "My Lord is now a super-rank military marquis, a senior official in the court with a real official title. Although my family is an official in the court, they are really insignificant, so I dare not even think about the position of Marquise."

After hearing what she said, the concubines had different expressions.

Some people who were not competitive and knew their status clearly originally thought that if Xie Fei became the mistress, their lives would be better.

There were also some who were more thoughtful and wanted to compete, thinking that even Xie Fei couldn't get the position of mistress, so they had no chance of getting it.

During the silence, someone whispered, "There is not even a child in the mansion. If someone can be the first to get pregnant with the master's eldest son, perhaps there is still a chance."

The concubines' eyes all lit up.

Xie Fei just smiled and drank his tea calmly.

That night, Pei Yuan stumbled towards Songyueju as if he had seen a ghost, completely losing his composure.

Xie Fei was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, when he saw him climbing in through the window with disheveled clothes and messy hair. He couldn't help but wonder, "You're being teased?"

Pei Yuan's stern face was filled with suppressed anger. After climbing over the window, he did not forget to pull up his collar which had slipped down. In his next step, he almost stepped on his loose belt and staggered.

"Tonight is really like seeing a ghost!"

He returned at night, and as soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw several concubines waiting nearby.

They were all dressed boldly and revealingly, with seductive and delicate makeup. When they saw him, they were like dogs seeing a bone. They rushed up to him with wild laughs and were touched all over by him.

After finally getting rid of these people, he just reached the edge of the garden when two concubines jumped out from the rockery and pounced on him without saying a word.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and just picked up one person on each side, spun them around and threw them away. Otherwise, he would have become murderous in a hurry and broken the necks of these two people in an instant.

On the way to Chaohui Pavilion, the concubines fluttered around him like beautiful butterflies.

I don't know what went wrong with him. He was either tearing his clothes or untying his belt in public, like a lecherous ghost.

Just when they were about to reach Chaohui Pavilion, Su Lu came ahead to report that Xiang Xiaoniang and Fang Xiaoniang had prepared midnight snacks and were waiting in the house.

Pei Yuan was scared and hurriedly hid from Xie Fei.

After listening to his story, Xie Fei was so happy that he bent forward and backward.

She patted the edge of the bed and laughed wildly, "This, this is about having a baby with you, so that I can have someone to rely on in the future! Look at you now, you look like a virgin who has been molested!"

If it were replaced with the fake ones from before, that would be what we wanted.

Pei Yuan wiped the red stains on his clothes and smelled the pungent smell of perfumed powder. He had no choice but to take off his coat and hang it on the hanger, covering Xie Fei's clothes.

"It seems that using illness as an excuse will not work for now. Give them more monthly allowance tomorrow, and let them go to the theatre or music, or go out and have fun, and don't bother me."

Xie Fei said: "Are you going to spend money to buy peace and quiet? But then again, they are your concubines after all. You can't just leave them alone in the future, right?"

Pei Yuan defended himself: "I didn't marry them."

Xie Fei sneered, "Nominally, they are all yours."

Pei Yuan seized the opportunity and asked, "Did I write the document to take you as a concubine? Did you consummate your marriage with me? If that's the case, why don't you admit that you are also mine?"

"This, this is because, uh." Xie Fei was speechless for a moment.

Pei Yuan felt better when he saw her hesitating and unable to explain. Outside the room, Mama Liu came to ask about the situation, and asked two maids to boil some hot water, and then asked Pei Yuan to take a bath first.

It was already late at night after this delay, and Xie Fei fell into a drowsy sleep.

She thought Pei Yuan would still sleep outside the screen, but who knew that when she was half asleep and half awake, the man actually climbed onto her bed, and even got close to her from behind and put his arms around her waist.

In an instant, Xie Fei's bright eyes widened in the darkness.

"What are you doing?" she asked in a low voice.

Pei Yuan's tone was full of sleepiness and fatigue, but his arms were even closer together, with his strong chest pressed against her slender back.

"I'm sleepy." He responded wetly, like a wronged puppy.

Xie Fei tried to pry his arms apart, but it was useless.

She kicked back, but missed. She pushed Pei Yuan's arm and said, "Go sleep on the couch."

Pei Yuan rested his chin on the back of her neck and breathed evenly over her.

"It's late at night, why bother disturbing the servants? Ah Fei is the most kind and considerate person. You can't wake up the night watchman and make him busy all the time."

Xie Fei said unhappily: "I'll do the moving, okay?"

Pei Yuan yawned, but refused to loosen his grip and soothed her, "We'll move tomorrow. Now I'm going to sleep."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xie Fei was speechless. He stared with his eyes wide open and endured for a long time, but still had no choice but to let him hold her.

After she fell asleep while daydreaming, Pei Yuan slowly opened his deep black eyes.

Looking at Xie Fei's sleeping face, he slowly hooked a strand of hair and put it behind Xie Fei's ear.

You should have left long ago.

It's too late to regret now.

After daybreak, Su Lu came to ask Xie Fei for instructions.

"Thank you, young lady. Do you want to add an extra share of the monthly allowance for all the young ladies in the mansion?"

Xie Fei was yawning, looking as sleepy as a cat that hadn't woken up yet, innocent yet arrogant.

"The master means that everyone should be quiet. He doesn't have time to take care of the affairs in the mansion recently." Facing Su Lu, Xie Fei said bluntly.

As for how to convey the message to the concubines, that is Su Lu's job.

Fu Yu tied up Xie Fei's hair and inserted a hairpin into it. She smiled playfully at the mirror and said, "Miss, you look really good today. This jeweled hairpin suits you best."

Xie Fei in the mirror looked more radiant and charming than before.

She is slowly removing her disguise, including her thick eyebrows, plump lips, spots, etc. She removes some of them every once in a while, making her face gradually closer to her natural appearance.

Sometimes, she herself couldn't figure out why she did this.

Is it because you feel that all the concubines in the mansion are as beautiful as flower buds, while you are the only one who is ugly, and you have a vague desire to be strong in your heart?
Or do you still feel that you, with your plain appearance, are not worthy of standing beside the handsome Pei Yuan?

No matter what, I have been pretending for more than ten years, but recently, I really don’t want to see people with a false face anymore.

Humans are unreasonable creatures. Even they themselves cannot give a reasonable explanation for their own behavior.

After dressing up, Xie Fei asked Su Lu to do some things, and he took Fu Yu and Mama Liu to the inner prison.
