Chapter 236 We are not worthy

Lu Heng saw the surprise on Xiao Ruan's face, realized that she didn't know anything about this matter, and immediately told the details of what he had heard in extremely gossip.

It turned out that Lu Heng cared very much about Princess Beijiang. He heard someone mentioning Princess Beijiang in the restaurant outside by chance, and immediately pricked up his ears.

I couldn't hear this, and actually learned from the other party that Duan Muyao went to Xiao's mansion to pester Xiao Zhongheng.

At first she thought it was a rumor, and asked someone to inquire about it, only then did she know that it was indeed true.

That Duanmuyao not only entangled Xiao Zhongheng, but also ate and drank with him.

"Why is this princess so thick-skinned? If she pesters her cousin all day long, won't she ruin his reputation?"

Lu Heng's face was filled with indignation, and after a few words, he even disliked Duanmuyao, but Xiao Ruan felt like a mirror in his heart, and even faintly admired the princess a little more.

Speaking of which, she has never seen such a free and straightforward woman, even if she likes someone, she is so straightforward.

Full of admiration for Huo Xun, he came to openly "declare war" on her, perseveringly bumped into a wall several times in front of Huo Xun.In the end, he fully understood that Huo Xun had no feelings for her, so he immediately pulled away and left.When meeting the person he likes again, he will still take the initiative without hesitation.

Xiao Ruan thought about the picture of Duanmu Yao pestering Xiao Zhongheng in his mind, and suddenly a funny look appeared in his eyes.

"You don't have to worry, the princess can't ruin my brother's reputation, maybe it will be a happy event for my brother."

"happy event?"

Lu Heng didn't know that Duanmuyao had a crush on Xiao Zhongheng, and felt even more confused for a while, and wanted to ask Xiao Ruan more carefully, but Xiao Ruan just curled his lips and remained silent.

At the same time, outside the gate of the Imperial Academy, Xiao Zhongheng was having a headache facing the woman opposite.

"Princess, I still have to deal with business here. You'd better leave quickly, lest you be kicked out and lose face of the princess."

The surrounding officials came and went, not casting curious looks at the two of them.

Seen by these people for a while, Xiao Zhongheng couldn't help but blushed again.Looking helplessly at Duanmu Yao who followed him all the way, his voice was almost pleading.

However, as if she didn't understand what he said, Duanmu Yao smiled and walked a few steps closer to him, her face full of indifference.

"Your Majesty Xiao, don't worry. This princess doesn't care what others think of me. You handle business by yourself, and I will follow you."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhongheng frowned and felt even more helpless.

For some reason, this Northern Jiang princess appeared beside him out of nowhere, clinging to him all day long.No matter where he goes, he will follow him, and he keeps saying that he likes him.

Not to mention that he had never seen such a bold woman, even in the entire Jin Dynasty, there were definitely only a handful of women who dared to be as bold as her without regard for their status, and ran around with a man.

Seeing the surroundings and officials gathered around curiously, Xiao Zhongheng had no choice but to pull Duanmuyao's sleeves and drag her to a place where no one was around.

"Princess, you have a noble status and I'm just an ordinary man. I can't bear your enthusiasm, and I'm not worthy of a princess. I hope you will let me go."

"Xiao Zhongheng! When did this princess dislike your identity? What I like is you, even if you are a beggar on the street, I will look for you and follow until you agree to marry me."

Duanmuyao was extremely annoyed by Xiao Zhongheng's words, and immediately yelled at her with his hips akimbo, his voice was a few degrees higher than his own.

He didn't expect Duanmu Yao to be so excited at all, Xiao Zhongheng glanced behind him nervously, and found that no one noticed them, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you princess for your love, but I really have no feelings for her, let alone marry her, please go back!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhongheng didn't even look at Duanmu Yao, he turned and left directly.

"Xiao Zhongheng! Let me tell you, I won't give up!"

Duanmuyao was rejected again, stomping his feet angrily and shouting at Xiao Zhongheng who rushed away, but he didn't see the other party turning back, so he had to follow up angrily again...

The autumn wind is cold day by day, and now it is approaching the twelfth lunar month of winter. The sycamore tree outside the window has lost half of its leaves, and the bare trunk is shriveled and lifeless like an old man who has reached the end of his life.

Pei Yuemei stood in front of the window and looked at the plane tree opposite, suddenly remembered that when she had just returned to Pei's house, the plane tree was still full of shade, and a touch of sadness flashed across her dazed face.

"Time flies so fast, it's unbelievable that I've been suspended for half a year."

The servant girl beside her heard her extremely decadent voice, and for a moment she didn't know how to reply, so she just lowered her head and stood silently behind her, not daring to speak out.

"Mei'er, why are you standing there? If you get into the wind and get typhoid fever, don't you want to make your mother feel bad?

At this moment, a nervous voice came, and the little maid hurriedly saluted the man, but Pei Yuemei just turned her head and ignored it.

"Help the lady over quickly!"

Seemingly unaware of Pei Yuemei's neglect, Pei's mother still asked the servants to close the window with joy, and helped Pei Yuemei to sit on the bed.

"Caiyifang has released some more styles. I have asked them to make a few clothes according to your size. Maybe it will be delivered today. When the time comes..."

"Mother should keep those clothes for herself. My daughter has already looked like this, so what's the mood to try on new clothes?"

Before Mother Pei's voice fell, Pei Yue eyebrows glanced at her lightly, and spoke coldly, her voice was full of coldness.

"You child, our girls are born to dress up well. My mother has been prepared for you, why don't you stay?"

Mother Pei's face froze, but seeing that there was still no smile on Pei Yuemei's face, she laughed a few times in embarrassment, sat down beside Pei Yuemei, and took Pei Yuemei's hand affectionately.

"Mei'er, my mother's good daughter, it's not okay to be wronged by my mother in the past, so don't be angry with your mother again!"

"Things have come to this point now, what's the use if my mother is wrong?"

As if she had been brought to a painful spot, Pei Yuemei suddenly withdrew her hand from Mother Pei's, with a hint of grief and indignation in her voice.

It also happened that Mother Pei insisted on taking her to the Lu Mansion to confront Xiao Ruan, and almost scratched Xiao Ruan's face.

That person loved Xiao Ruan so much, even if he still had the slightest affection for him, it disappeared because of Pei's mother's domineering at that time.

At this time, hearing Pei Mu's words of regret and self-blame again, Pei Yuemei endured and endured, but tears still fell down, hitting the back of Pei Mu's hand one by one.

The hot tears were like a piece of red hot iron, Mother Pei withdrew her hand embarrassingly, but couldn't help muttering.

"Back then you were the one who ran back crying and asked me to make the decision for you. I went to Xiao's house to make trouble, and I went to Lu's house to make trouble. Isn't it just to vent your anger on you? Now it's good, your man has been promoted, and you're blaming me..."

"Yes, Mother is right! It's all my daughter's fault!"

Mother Pei was talking to herself, she didn't see that Pei Yuemei's face turned pale instantly because of her words, and when she heard an angry roar from the people around her, she realized that she had said something wrong again.

"Okay, okay, mother don't talk, mother doesn't talk, can't it be done?"

Pei Yue's eyebrows were red, her face was filled with embarrassment and regret, and she immediately fell down on the bed and burst into tears.Seeing that Mother Pei's eyes were red, she secretly wanted to slap herself on the mouth.

Pei Yuemei's crying sounded in the room for a long time without stopping, but Mother Pei finally wiped the corners of her eyes and helped the crying out of breath person up.

"Good girl, you are my mother's daughter. How can you not know what is going on in your heart? In fact, my mother is also helping you to reconcile with my son-in-law."

It seemed that Pei Yuemei heard for the first time that Pei's mother had been helping her to intercede with the Xiao family, so she stopped crying and pricked up her ears.

And Mrs. Pei said with anger in her voice: "I hate that I have sent people to send no less than ten invitations to the old hag of the Xiao family, and the old hag refuses to see me! It is clear that they think their precious grandson Now that we have been promoted, we are not worthy!"

not worthy of...

Pei Yuemei is not a fool, as soon as she heard this word, she instantly realized that her hope of remarrying into the Xiao family was getting slimmer and slimmer.

In the past six months, she has been following that person's movements all the time, and she has long known that he has been promoted, that he has won the respect of the emperor, and his future is even brighter.

Thinking of the noisy days when the two were together, Pei Yuemei has fully realized that she listened to Gu's words before, and actually regarded her husband, who was clearly able to be the leader, as a useless person.

I heard that that person will be promoted soon, she...

"...So I said, Meier, don't be bored at the house all day long, put on new clothes and act as if you are still a decent lady of the Xiao family, and care about my uncle more. Maybe he will think of the kindness you two had in the past, I will reconcile with you."

Mother Pei's advice came, but Pei Yuemei didn't say a word this time.

Mother Pei didn't know that during this period of time, she had quietly left the house and returned to Xiao's house several times when no one was paying attention, but Xiao Zhongheng refused to meet each time. She really didn't know how much kindness the two of them had before.

"Well, it's still my fault when I say it/If mother could have calculated that young master would be promoted so quickly, mother would kneel down and kowtow, she shouldn't let you just break up like this."

At the end, Mother Pei's face was filled with regret, and she unconsciously stretched out her hand to grab Pei Yuemei's hand and instructed her earnestly.

"Mei'er, you have to listen to your mother this time. Now that you have... now that my uncle has not married again, maybe he is waiting for you. If you don't seize the opportunity this time, it will be difficult to find such a good one in the future." condition."

Pei Yue listened to Pei's mother's words expressionlessly, and a hint of unwillingness suddenly flashed in her eyes.

She was also married back by Xiao Zhongheng in a palanquin. Now that this person has been promoted to an official position, she has divorced herself. Given her current situation, where can she find another good family?
Pei Yuemei seemed to have made some decision, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her tone became full of confidence.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely let Xiao Zhongheng marry me back in a good manner!"
