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

Chapter 225 Thoughts
At night, in Chaohui Pavilion, Pei Yuan put down the book in his hand.

"The child she gave birth to is not my daughter. If she wants to leave, I would love for her to do so."

Xie Fei said dimly: "I asked her several times, and she always said that she would rather go to a place where no one knows her and pretend to be a widow raising her daughter alone."

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Would you rather be an orphan and a widow than stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"

He couldn't understand what this woman was thinking.

Xie Fei said: "Being an orphan and a widow is at least less stressful than being trapped in the mansion, with your life and death in the hands of others."

In fact, Wu Shanyue shuddered when she thought about Xiao Shirong's past behavior of disregarding human life and wantonly killing his concubines.

For her daughter and herself, it was naturally safer to leave.

Pei Yuan didn't want to bother with such trivial matters, but since Xie Fei had already spoken, he naturally wouldn't ignore her.

Holding the scroll in his hand and gently patting it on his palm, Pei Yuan said calmly: "I will make arrangements to send the mother and daughter away within ten days."

Xie Fei pressed on: "What kind of identity do you plan to give her? Where will you send her? Will you give her money to live on? How much money will she have? Will she have a place to stay? Will you send someone to monitor her?"

Pei Yuan was immediately alarmed by asking too many questions. He frowned and asked, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

Xie Fei originally wanted to say that he had inquired about Wu Shanyue's treatment so that he could make an estimate for his future, and if he had the chance in the future, he could go visit the mother and daughter after leaving the Marquis' Mansion.

But she also vaguely felt that if she told Pei Yuan now that she wanted to leave, he might fly into a rage and die with her.

So he stopped abruptly the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and instead smiled and touched his nose.

"Just curious, asking."

Damn, why are you so cowardly all of a sudden?
Pei Yuan still did not let down his guard, his inky black eyes staring at her closely, as if he could see through her thoughts from the slightest expression on her face.

Xie Fei felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he asked, "By the way, which family did you choose the new mistress from? I will go back to my parents' home the day after tomorrow, and maybe I can find out for you."

Pei Yuan leisurely unfolded the book, flipped through it again by candlelight, and said, "Of course..."

Xie Fei pricked up his ears.

After a while, Pei Yuan seemed to be fascinated and never gave any further explanation.

Xie Fei was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

“Who on earth is this!!!”

Pei Yuan then looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Princess Yongning of Prince Duan's Mansion."

Xie Fei "..."

hold head high?
It was a rare opportunity for Xie Fei to go back to her mother's home, and she felt uneasy the whole time she stayed at Xie Jing's place.

Xie Jing, who had no sense of accomplishment after winning for the seventh time, put the chess pieces back into the jade chess box and said indifferently, "It's boring."

Xie Fei came back to his senses and looked at the chessboard, and saw that he had lost miserably.

Throwing away the chess piece, she took out her handkerchief in an upset manner and flicked it casually.

"I'm upset."

"I see." Xie Jing put away the chessboard and asked, "Is it for a man?"

Without waiting for Xie Fei to refute, she muttered to herself: "No, it can't be a man. You only worry about money. Tell me, which money makes you unhappy?"

Xie Fei: "..."

Now Xie Jing was the only one who could speak her mind, and she tried to tell her sister her doubts without any emotion. "So, why do you think he doesn't have any idea? Who is the Prince of Duan? He is the emperor's brother! Princess Yongning is the Prince of Duan's only daughter, and he loves her like his own baby. How dare he do that?"

"Even I know that Princess Yongning is only sixteen years old, and she is so beautiful that she is as beautiful as a fairy! Moreover, the princess is elegant and graceful, and she is also a famous talented woman. She can easily become the top scholar in the imperial examination!"

"He wants to marry the princess? That's ridiculous. He's a second-married man. Not to mention his reputation as a playboy, he's full of calculations and insidiousness every day. He has no integrity at all! Marquis? What's wrong with the Marquis? Can the Marquis marry the princess?"

Hearing this, Xie Jing interrupted quietly, "Marquis Anyuan is also of noble status and holds military power, it seems..."

"Seem what?" Xie Fei glared, flipped over the chessboard and cursed: "Doesn't he know what's going on? Why does he want to harm the girl? I thought he was a gentleman, at least he wouldn't involve innocent people, but look at this, this, this, this..."

"Well," Xie Jing raised his hand again to interrupt, hesitantly saying, "So, your defense is broken?"

Just as Xie Fei was about to continue cursing, he was suddenly stunned, his face looked extremely strange.

"Break the defense? What defense should I break?"

Xie Jing said innocently: "Didn't you say that this situation is called 'defense breaking'?"

When Xie Fei said "broken defense" to her when she was a child, she didn't quite understand the meaning.

But just now, she suddenly felt that Xie Fei's series of impassioned speeches completely fit the strange word "breaking defense".

Without waiting for Xie Fei to refute, she continued: "You don't think Anyuan Hou is unworthy, but you feel that he actually fell in love with Princess Yongning, which makes you very uncomfortable, right?"

Xie Fei's cheeks twitched, and he couldn't utter a word to refute for a long time.

Xie Jing was more certain, but also confused. "It's bizarre that you like that kind of rotten guy. Or is he not as useless as the rumors say?"

Xie Fei was speechless.

Xie Jing stopped talking and just slowly picked up the chess pieces scattered on the ground.

"Fei'er, you have never dared to fight for anything since you were a child."

Xie Fei calmed himself down and said stubbornly, "There's nothing worth snatching."

Xie Jing shook his head and said calmly: "It's not that it's not worth it, it's that you don't dare. You have tried to snatch it, but you have never won, so you gradually feel that it's useless to snatch it, so you simply don't snatch it anymore."

After moving the chessboard away, Xie Jing asked the maid to bring hot tea and snacks and set the table again.

"But Fei'er, the Pei family is not the Xie family, and Anyuan Hou is not your father. Since you like him, it means he has his own strengths. Why not fight for him, for yourself as well as for him?"

Staring at the rippling tea, Xie Fei smiled bitterly after a long while.

"What's there to grab? He has made up his mind, and I can't change it."

Xie Jing shook his head slowly and said, "You haven't even tried, how do you know it can't be changed? Maybe he is waiting for you too."

Xie Fei asked blankly: "Wait for me?"

"Yes, I will wait for you to speak up and stop him, wait for you to make your feelings clear," Xie Jing smiled, "Because Fei'er, you are always secretive and dare not express your feelings to anyone."

Xie Fei sneered: "Are you talking about me? How come I don't know that I am such a twisted person?"

Xie Jing said: "It doesn't matter whether you are twisted or not, you just need to confirm your feelings. Fei'er, think carefully, if he really marries Princess Yongning, what will you do?"

Is it joy, peace, anger, or regret?

Xie Fei was in a daze, as if he didn't understand what Xie Jing was talking about.
