stern wife

Chapter 140
Pei Xiaoran patted the table to get his attention back, and he didn't care about his rudeness, after all, it was a little rude to meet customers in his underwear.

But she can't take care of so much now, and can't help but ask again:

"What news did you get?"

Zhang Zeqing pursed his lips, a little annoyed at his distraction, and quickly responded:
"Yes, I was behind the house today and heard that the fifth young master asked someone to bribe a girl in the second lady's yard and asked her to hide something in the second lady's room."

Pei Xiaoran didn't look surprised at all, because she also felt that there was something wrong with the flustered little girl she ran into in Pei Yutong's room today.

she asked:
"Anymore?"

"Well, the fifth young master asked his servants to prepare a set of clothes for him, which he will use tomorrow, and a hat, but he didn't say how to use it."

Pei Xiaoran nodded and said:

"that's it?"

Zhang Zeqing nodded, and immediately felt that his hand was being grabbed, and then, something was stuffed into the palm of his hand.

When he looked down, he saw a small purse embroidered with lotus flowers, and there was a sound of broken silver in the purse.

He immediately pushed back the purse and said:

"I don't want rewards, this is what I should do."

Pei Xiaoran also pushed it out, and said with a smile:
"Take it home and buy something delicious for Xiaorou. Doesn't she love the dim sum from Suyunzhai? The dim sum there are not cheap."

Zhang Zeqing was silent for a while, and finally put away the purse, saying:

"Thank you ma'am."

"You're welcome, go back and rest early, since they will act tomorrow, you don't have to follow tomorrow, lest they find out."

"Yes, Miss also goes to bed earlier."

"Ah."

After seeing off Zhang Zeqing, Pei Xiaoran climbed back onto the bed, stared at the top of the bed in thought for a while, then closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

On the second day, before dawn, Pei Xiaoran got up, dressed and washed, and went to Pei Yutong's yard.

Pei Yutong also just got up, had just put on her clothes, and hadn't washed up yet. When she saw Pei Xiaoran coming in, she was very surprised and asked:

"Why did my sister get up so early?"

Pei Xiaoran waved his hand at her, saying:

"Second sister just do her own thing, don't worry about me," then said to You Xia:

"Sister Xia, please search this room carefully. Remember, don't let go of every corner, and see if there is anything that does not belong to this room."

You Xia was stunned for a moment, seeing Pei Xiaoran's serious expression that did not look like a joke, his heart sank, and he quickly buried his head in searching.

Pei Yutong looked at the little man standing in the room calmly pointing Jiangshan, although he was a little flustered, but miraculously he didn't feel scared.

Hua Qing waited on Pei Yutong to continue rinsing his mouth and cleansing his face. When Pei Yutong finished washing and sat down in front of the bronze mirror to start dressing, he finally heard Youxia's 'huh', and immediately took out a letter from under the bed.

"Miss, did you put this here?" You Xia held up the letter and asked Pei Yutong.

Pei Yutong shook her head, she never put things under the bed.

Pei Xiaoran's expression turned serious, and he said:
"Bring it to me."

You Xia hurried over and handed the letter to her.

Pei Xiaoran unfolded the letter paper, and after scanning word by word, he couldn't help but sneer.

Youxia asked curiously:

"Who put this here? What's written on it?"

Pei Xiaoran folded the letter, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said:
"This is a good thing, as for what's written on it... keep it secret."

You Xia stomped her feet, then turned around and continued searching, but this time, until the whole house was turned upside down, nothing was found.

And Pei Xiaoran, already carrying the letter, went out towards his third brother's yard.

The morning was uneventful.

In the afternoon, an unexpected visitor suddenly came to Pei Yutong's yard.

The woman guarding the door saw that the people were wearing the clothes that Pei Wenchang usually wears on weekdays, and the young servants that Pei Wenchang often followed beside them did not stop them, and let them in directly.

Hearing the movement, You Xia opened the curtain to take a look, but was startled immediately, and then came out from behind the curtain, shouting angrily:

"Stop! The second young lady's yard is entered by men just as they please?! Who are you? Get out of here quickly!"

The person who came did not speak, nor did he take You Xia's words seriously, but continued to walk forward with the servant beside him.

You Xia was in a hurry, and hurried forward, stretching out her two thin arms to block the way of the person coming, but was kicked to the ground by the boy's unceremonious kick.

The boy said arrogantly:

"What are you, dare to block the way of my fifth master?! Fifth master heard that the second young lady is about to get married, so he just wanted to come and see his sister. Why, your younger brother came to visit my sister, and you, a slave, also want to take care of it?"

That kick just hit You Xia's heart, and You Xia's heart ached sharply, but she still stood up with her body supported, and continued to block her with her arms open, saying:

"Of course the servants have nothing to do with the master's affairs, but since you are the fifth young master, why don't you dare to show your true face? If the fifth young master is willing to take off the veil and let the servants take a look, the servants will never stop!"

The little servant snorted and said:
"My fifth master accidentally caught a cold. The doctor put on his hat these days because he didn't let him see the wind. It's okay to see him, but...you can't see him until you enter the house."

If you let a man who doesn't even know anyone into your lady's boudoir, how can she still have her reputation?
"no!"

You Xia wanted to stop him again, but the boy became impatient, his eyes sharpened, and he was about to kick this little girl to death, but saw the door curtain lifted, and another girl came out from inside.

That girl is another big girl next to Pei Yutong, Hua Qing.

Seeing that Youxia was covered in dust and bloodshot eyes were still on the corner of her mouth, Hua Qing turned pale, and hurried forward, quietly blocking her behind her.

Then he reluctantly put on a smile and said to the visitor:
"Fifth Young Master calm down, You Xia is also eager to protect the lord. After all, the second lady is still a woman who has not left the cabinet. Naturally, she should be more cautious when dealing with distinguished guests."

The person who came was still silent, but the servant was even more arrogant, shouting:
"I don't think the eldest and third young masters come here often? Why, our fifth master can't come? Does it mean that we look down on this younger brother because our fifth master is a concubine? Don't forget, your young lady is just a It's just a concubine!"

"Slaves don't mean that," Hua Qing said hastily:

"Since the fifth master has a cold and can't see the wind, then hurry up and enter the house, my miss... I definitely don't look down on people who are born out of concubine."

"Hua Qing!" You Xia was in a hurry, grabbed Hua Qing's arm, and was about to say something, but Hua Qing covered her mouth, dragged her aside, and immediately reprimanded:

"The fifth young master is someone we can afford?! Look at yourself, don't you want to die!"
