stern wife

Chapter 180

She spread the deed on the table and handed over the cinnabar pen.

Zhang Zeqing looked at her, took the cinnabar pen without the slightest hesitation, twisted the tip of the pen with his thumb and forefinger, and pressed down on the place Pei Xiaoran was pointing at.

If he still had doubts before coming here, then now, he has nothing to doubt at all.

This little girl gave the two brothers and sisters a stable and comfortable place to live, so that they would no longer suffer from hunger without having their last meal, and let them live with a good master who is gentle and kind, and treats his servants well.

He has nothing to repay.

And the little girl has only one requirement for them, and that is loyalty.

Others don't know, but he can guarantee that he can definitely do it.

Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the little girl's kindness?
Pei Xiaoran smiled slightly and said:
"Take the deed, don't lose it."

She stood up, looked around, and found that although the house was simple, it was extremely clean and tidy, and asked:
"What's missing?"

Zhang Zeqing shook his head and said:

"Nothing is missing."

Pei Xiaoran also found that he had everything he should have. He nodded, and suddenly felt a gaze fall on him. When he turned his head, he saw Xiaorou staring at her.

After being raised in Pei's residence for so many days, Xiaorou is no longer the scrawny appearance she was before. Not only has some flesh been added to her body, but her cheeks are no longer sunken. She became more and more delicate and charming.

It was only then that Pei Xiaoran realized that the other party seemed to be a little older than her, because her height was also stretched a lot. It seemed that it was because she didn't have enough to eat before that she looked about the same age as her.

However, men and women have different seats at the age of seven...

Pei Xiaoran felt that he was a little meddling, but he kindly reminded him:

"Xiaorou is a girl's family after all, so...do I need to ask third brother to clean up another room for her to live alone?"

She herself died with her reputation ruined in her previous life. She knew how painful it was to be wronged and framed, so she didn't want to see the same tragedy again.

Before Zhang Zeqing said anything, Xiao Rou had already stood up from her chair, and she refused loudly angrily:
"I do not want it!"

Then he ran to Zhang Zeqing's side, firmly grabbed Zhang Zeqing's arm, and at the same time stared at Pei Xiaoran fiercely with vigilant and angry eyes, as if she was afraid that her brother Zeqing would be snatched away by the other party.

Pei Xiaoran was taken aback by her big reaction, while Zhang Zeqing lowered his head and reprimanded:

"Xiao Rou, don't talk to Miss like that!"

Xiaorou pursed her lips, and tears quickly gathered in her eyes, as if Pei Xiaoran had bullied her, with an aggrieved look on her face.

Pei Xiaoran laughed dryly, thinking that he really was meddling in his own business, so he waved his hands and said:

"It's not her fault, it's because I didn't think carefully. After all, you are dependent on each other. It's only natural that Xiaorou can't do without you, but...you are not biological brothers and sisters. If Xiaorou grows older, It is inevitable that people will gossip, so this matter should be carefully considered."

In fact, Zhang Zeqing had been thinking about this issue for a long time, but seeing that Xiaorou was too clingy to him, and also because she was not too old, he didn't propose to separate her to live alone.

Now that Pei Xiaoran helped him speak out, he felt a faint sense of relief in his heart. After all, Xiaorou was his savior, and if he opened the mouth first, it would be too heartless and ungrateful.

He solemnly said: "I will carefully consider it."

Pei Xiaoran nodded and said:

"That's okay, I'll go first."

Zhang Zeqing hesitated and asked:

"Miss, won't you leave without a cup of tea?"

"No, no, I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent matters to deal with, so I won't stay any longer."

Pei Xiaoran rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and prepared to run away.

Looking at Xiaorou's look of wanting to eat her raw, can she still drink it?

Sigh...Being a donkey with good intentions, I only hope that the little girl can understand that she is really thinking of her, not brother Zeqing who wants to snatch her away...

Zhang Zeqing forcibly pulled his arm out of Xiaorou's hand, and sent her out of the door, watching the little figure disappear without a trace, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Rou, who was closely following him, felt an inexplicable sense of fear in her heart.

Zhang Zeqing usually has no expression on his face, whether it is joy or anger, sorrow or joy, he will not show it on his face.

At least, she has lived with him for so long, and she has never seen anything like a smile on his face.

But since meeting this Pei Xiaoran, everything has changed.

She finally saw a smile on his face, but this smile was not for her!

Xiao Rou couldn't tell what was going on in her heart for a moment, but she felt extremely uncomfortable, so she subconsciously blocked Zhang Zeqing, jumped high and tried to block his sight with both hands, shouting persistently:

"Don't look at her! Brother Zeqing, don't look at her!"

Zhang Zeqing frowned slightly, looked down at her, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth disappeared completely in an instant.

He said coldly:

"Xiaorou, don't be disrespectful to Miss in the future. She said that for your own good. In fact, I've thought about it too. When you get older, I'll ask the young master to prepare a separate room for you."

The tears that had been swirling in Xiaorou's eyes finally couldn't help falling down, she held onto his sleeve tightly, choked up and said:
"Don't you think Brother Zeqing doesn't want me?"

Zhang Zeqing sighed slightly, slowed down and said:

"It's not that I don't want you, but that men and women are different. Even brothers and sisters cannot sleep in the same room when they grow up. Do you understand?"

Of course Xiaorou didn't understand, she only knew that because of Pei Xiaoran's words, her brother Zeqing planned to abandon her!

"But, but..." Xiaorou still did not give up:

"But I don't want to leave you..."

Zhang Zeqing patiently explained:
"Didn't leave me, just change the house, we can still meet during the day, just like before."

Not the same at all!
She was with brother Zeqing all the time, no matter day or night!
She didn't want to be separated from brother Zeqing, not even for a moment!

However, Zhang Zeqing felt that he had already said what he should say, so he turned around and entered the room, saying:

"Come in and learn Chinese characters."

But Xiao Rou stood there, crying silently for a while, then suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction where Pei Xiaoran was leaving.

A pair of tear-filled eyes filled with anger and hatred.

When Pei Xiaoran returned to his yard, he saw Nanny Pan standing outside the door of the house.

Just as she was about to go up to ask Pan Nanny why she didn't enter the house, the other party had already greeted her first, saying:

"Miss, just now someone sent a message from the front, saying that someone from the palace has sent a message, asking you to come to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow."

"Enter the palace face?" Pei Xiaoran frowned and asked:
"Did you say it was because of something?"
