stern wife

Chapter 252 Greed
I saw that the warehouse was very large, but it looked even empty. The floor was covered with thick dust, and there were two small boxes in the corner. They looked quite old, and they were covered with spider webs.

It stands to reason that the treasury of the daughter-in-law of the Duke's family should be full of jewels, even if it is not as good as the princesses in the palace, it shouldn't be so shabby, right?
Zhao Shun clicked his tongue, turned his head and saw Pei Xingshan pretending to be surprised but apparently didn't take it seriously, and sneered secretly in his heart.

Other fathers regard their daughters as the apple of their eye, doting on them lovingly, wishing to hold all the best things in the world in front of her with both hands.

It's good for the Duke of the state, obviously Pei Xiaoran is also his biological daughter, but because she is a descendant, he treats her like an outsider.

No, I'm afraid it's worse than treating outsiders, right?

It's also strange, since I am a concubine, what does it have to do with them if I vent the anger of others looking down on me on my descendants?
The Duke should blame the biological mother who gave birth to him as a concubine, right?
If Mrs. Pei hadn't been willing to be a concubine, the child she gave birth to would not be a concubine!

If you don't cling to the powerful, but marry a commoner as your regular wife, then you will naturally give birth to a legitimate son.

It's a pity that he is blinded by profit and willing to be inferior. He deserves to be inferior to others along with the son he gave birth to.

Zhao Shun restrained his emotions in an instant, and said with a smirk:

"Fortunately, the storeroom is very empty. Otherwise, there would be no room for these rewards. Mr. Pei, don't you think so?"

Pei Xingshan gave a dry laugh, then turned his head and reprimanded the servants in the yard:
"What are you guys doing for food? A bunch of idiots! You can't even clean a warehouse, so what's the use of you? Could it be possible to keep it for me to clean?!"

All the servants in the yard trembled, and those who took brooms took brooms, and those who looked for rags went to find rags.

In fact, this is no wonder to them, firstly, the key to the warehouse is in Ling Yu's hands, and secondly, the warehouse is not often opened, so naturally it is ignored by the servants.

However, Pei Xingshan just wanted to find a reason to change the subject, so he didn't pursue it any further, instead he said to Zhao Shun:
"There's a lot of dust here, why don't Eunuch Zhao come in and sit down?"

"No need," Zhao Shun waved his hand and said ungratefully:

"Our family can just stand here and wait. Before we finish our business, our family dare not be lazy."

Pei Xingshan originally looked down on these eunuchs, but after being rejected by Zhao Shun twice without giving face, he became even more disgusted with these unmasculine, erotic and masculine things in his heart.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he could only swallow his anger temporarily.

Zhao Shun glanced at Pei Xingshan.

He was used to watching words and expressions, so he had already seen that Pei Xingshan looked down on them little eunuchs.

So, it's really a little refreshing to see the duke who thinks he's several levels above them slumped under his hands~
With Zhao Shun and the Duke personally supervising the work, the servants naturally did not dare to be negligent, and the warehouse was already spotless in less than half a cup of tea.

Zhao Shun took out the gift list and began to read it out one by one.

Following his reading, the same things were sent into the warehouse one after another, and the originally empty warehouse was quickly filled to the brim.

Since it is the addition of several rewards, it looks extraordinarily spectacular.

The servants couldn't bear it anymore and started whispering, and everyone's eyes were filled with unstoppable envy.

Ling Yu looked at the boxes of shiny gold, silver and jewels with envy, and couldn't wait to make some calculations in her heart.

These things are all to be entered into the ledger, and Pei Xiaoran also handed over the ledger to her for safekeeping.

Anyway, the key to the warehouse is in her hand, and she secretly took a few things out to sell them, and if she changed the ledger a little, no one would find out.

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a little girl hurrying past the crowd with a tray, Ling Yu restrained her thoughts and walked over quietly.

When she got closer, she saw that what the little girl was holding was indeed a bowl of stewed crucian carp soup that had just been stewed.

"give it to me."

Ling Yu took the tray, signaled the little girl to step down, then turned around and brought the fish soup into the house.

When it came out again, all the things had been sent to the warehouse.

Zhao Shun let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and handed the gift sheet to Pei Xiaoran with both hands.

Pei Xiaoran smiled brightly, before she had time to say anything, her father said:

"My father-in-law has worked so hard to study for so long, why don't you go to the front and drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat?"

Zhao Shun had already finished his business, so he didn't refuse this time. After saluting Pei Xiaoran, he followed Pei Xingshan and led the others away.

Pei Xiaoran sent them out of the courtyard, and when he came back, he took a look at the warehouse, not interested, and said to Ling Yu:
"Close the warehouse."

Ling Yu nodded and said:
"Yes."

After Pei Xiaoran returned to the house, Ling Yu dispersed the servants who were watching the excitement outside the warehouse, and went into the warehouse by herself, touching this and looking at that, her eyes were full of greed.

It's hard to remember that I have to accompany Pei Xiaoran to deliver fish soup to the old lady, then Ling Yu reluctantly walked out of the warehouse, locked the door of the warehouse carefully, turned around and walked into the house.

As soon as Pei Xiaoran entered the house, he handed over the gift list to Han Chan, and asked her to keep it on her behalf, so he was not in a hurry to enter it into the account book.

Han Chan was overjoyed to see that the Holy Master had rewarded Pei Xiaoran with so many things. The two of them were talking when they heard someone walk in from outside.

As soon as Ling Yu entered the door and saw no one, she called out:

"Miss?"

Han Chan heard a strange voice and touched her face, afraid of going out rashly and scaring others, she whispered:

"Xiaoran, you go out first, if you need anything, just call me."

Pei Xiaoran had nothing to do with her, so he nodded, got up and walked out.

When I went out, I happened to see Mother Pan walking in, and asked softly:

"Miss, I have left the kitchen to warm up the food, can they deliver it now?"

Nanny Pan originally went to the kitchen to see if the breakfast was ready, but when it was ready, people brought the food back and saw people standing in the yard. Eunuch Zhao was reading out the gift list, so he didn't bother, and asked people to bring the food to him again. I sent it back to the kitchen, fearing that I didn't know when it would be finished, so I let it be warmed first.

At this moment, seeing that Eunuch Zhao and his party had left, he looked at Pei Xiaoran inquiringly.

Pei Xiaoran looked at the crucian carp soup on the table, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said;
"Go and deliver the fish soup to grandma first. It doesn't matter if I eat it later. Let someone make some snacks and bring them over. If you are hungry, you can eat some snacks to fill your belly."

Nanny Pan responded with a smile, watching Ling Yu pick up the tray and follow Pei Xiaoran towards the door.

When walking halfway, Ling Yu suddenly frowned, and apologized to Pei Xiaoran:
"Miss, my stomach suddenly feels a little uncomfortable, and I want to go to the toilet. How about asking someone else to deliver this fish soup?"

Pei Xiaoran turned to look at her, and seeing her frowning and pained face, he hurriedly asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"
