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

Chapter 42 Buying Sheep

Looking carefully at Xie Yang's beautiful face, Xie Fei chuckled and said, "I'm already married. No matter how you and the eldest lady act arrogantly in the Xie family, you can't come to the Pei Mansion and give me a hard time."

Xie Yang looked arrogant and said in a vicious voice, "But I heard that my brother-in-law, who is a playboy, took several concubines only two or three days after you got married. Even if he is really willing to support you one day, how can a poor loser at the end of his rope make trouble for Daddy and the Xie family?"

Xie Fei narrowed his eyes and found it funny.

This Xie Yang, raised by her mother to be unruly and arrogant, has the same personality as Xiao Shirong.

Unfortunately, the Xie family is not as famous as the Xiao family, which is a real prestigious family.

Xie Fei clamped Xie Yang's chin even harder and said, "I told you you were stupid before, but you didn't believe me. When the emperor granted the marriage, he wanted a legitimate daughter, and I was temporarily registered as a legitimate daughter in place of you and the fifth sister, and that's why I got married."

Xie Yang's pupils shrank sharply.

Leaning close to her ear, Xie Fei softly said, "You are making such a big fuss and making a lot of noise in the streets. Aren't you afraid that someone will find out what's going on and report it to His Majesty?"

Xie Yang seemed to have just figured it out at this moment, and became visibly flustered.

Xie Fei smiled even more tenderly. He took the hairpin from Xie Yang's hand and inserted it vertically into Xie Yang's bun like inserting a scallion.

It looks nice, like an antenna. Xie Fei looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"The Pei Mansion is truly a place of endless wealth and luxury. Although my master does not hold an official position, it is not a problem for him to support dozens of concubines. If I get tired of this kind of life one day, why not let you or my fifth sister try it?"

Xie Yang clenched his teeth, his whole body was stiff, and his eyes were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.

Xie Fei patted her face again and said playfully, "I remember that you have deep feelings for a young man from the Duke's family. I don't know if you will be able to marry into the Duke's mansion as you wish in the future, or if this matter is exposed one day and before the emperor punishes you, your father will send you back to the Pei Mansion to be a concubine?"

Xie Yang's body completely went limp, as if he had already seen that dark and terrifying day. His face instantly turned pale and bloodless.

Only then was Xie Fei satisfied and he left with a big laugh.

Fu Yu hurriedly followed, and after taking a few steps, he looked back and saw Xie Yang still standing there with a miserable look on his face.

She was still not satisfied and said, "Miss, Miss Seven bullied us so much before, are you letting it go now?"

"How about slapping her in the street?" Xie Fei thought about it and felt that it was not impossible. "There will always be a chance in the future, but I am still a coward now."

Mother Liu, who is such a meticulous person, couldn't help laughing when she heard Xie Fei's words.

"Excuse me for being so rude, but my sister may look innocent, but she is actually a tough girl."

"Mother Liu has a keen eye." Xie Fei praised.

Everyone says that Xie Yang, the seventh daughter of the Xie family, is as bright as a spring flower and as bright as an autumn moon.

Although she is young, she is a well-behaved and pretty beauty. She will surely grow up to be graceful and elegant in the future.

But apart from the people in the Xie family, few people outside know how bad Xie Yang's temper is.

Especially Xie Fei, he is the number one victim.

Not to mention how completely different the lives of the two sisters, who were less than two years apart in age, were when they were young.

When Xie Fei was abandoned by her father, Xie Yang treated her like a beast of burden, beating her and scolding her whenever he wanted.

Things got really out of hand, so the stepmother only sent servants to comfort Xie Fei verbally.

Even if he brought the matter to Xie's father, he would only get a few words of scolding, and the situation would remain the same after that.

When she was seven years old, Xie Yang framed Xie Fei for stealing her food and asked the old ladies to strip Xie Fei naked and search him. When they didn't find anything, they still didn't believe it and went to rummage around the house.

The only teapot and teacup in Xie Fei's room were broken, and the quilt was thrown on the ground and stepped on. Even the few copper coins that Xie Fei had saved with great difficulty were taken away.

When she was ten years old, Xie Yang slandered Xie Fei for pushing her into the river with the intention of drowning her, which caused the eldest lady in the family to become furious and beat Xie Fei all over his body.

If Xie Fei hadn't collected herbs to heal his wounds, he would have been infected and died.

There were countless incidents like this. Looking across the entire capital, there was no concubine's daughter who was bullied like this.

But Xie's father didn't care whether Xie Fei lived or died, and the eldest lady had a firm control over the backyard, so no rumors could get out.

People in the capital only know that Xie Yang is beautiful and intelligent, but no one knows what kind of person she is in private.

If Xie Yang really marries into a rich family in the future, I wonder how bossy she will be.

Putting aside the disturbing thoughts in his mind, Xie Fei stopped thinking about them and went to Tougu Market to buy livestock first.

There were many people buying pigs and sheep at the market, but most of them just watched and did not make a purchase.

After all, an animal costs several strings of cash, which is enough for an average family to use for a year. All the money is used to buy the animal, and then feed it with grass and fodder, which is quite expensive.

Mother Liu walked in front, visiting every store in the circle, and asking the price when she found something suitable.

She has a heroic appearance. Although she is old, her eyes are still as sharp as a knife and her expression is calm and composed. She looks like a capable and wise person.

So the vendors didn't waste time talking to her and just quoted the actual price.

Xie Fei and Fu Yu followed behind, and they seemed like Liu Mama's followers, unable to get a word in.

Fu Yu got some melon seeds from somewhere, and started eating them with Xie Fei on his palms.

"Compared to Mother Liu, I was like an idiot when I came to bargain yesterday." Fu Yu felt deeply ashamed of himself for having worn out his lips yesterday.

"Mother Liu eats more salt than we eat rice." Xie Fei said as he listened carefully and analyzed Mother Liu's bargaining skills.

After visiting the entire market, Mother Liu compared prices from three stores and finally bought two sheep for eight strings of coins.

Xie Fei was worried about the rising prices this winter, so he simply bought a half-grown pig. After raising it for a few months, he could slaughter it for the New Year.

After paying the deposit, the vendors will deliver the pigs and sheep to the farm, and you can pay the rest after inspection.

It was getting late, so the three of them went back in the ox cart.

As soon as he stepped into the village, Sun came towards him. Seeing a lot of goods on the ox cart, he immediately smiled from ear to ear.

"Xie Xiaoniang, you went out and bought a lot of things, right?"

She approached the ox cart, glancing around with a pair of cunning eyes, hoping to find some clues from the cargo so that she could inform the Pei Mansion.

Xie Fei smiled and said, "Yes, there are quite a few. I don't have to go out recently. Since you are free, help me carry the goods in."

Sun said quickly: "How can I..."

Fu Yu directly put a bag of rice on her shoulder, ignoring her cries of "ouch", and smiled like a cunning cat.

"Wait, don't let it rain again, Sun, carry it in quickly."

Sun's waist was bent, but seeing that Mother Liu and Xie Fei turned a deaf ear to her, she had no choice but to carry the heavy load of rice into the farm.
