stern wife

Chapter 257

Cheng's footsteps suddenly stopped and said:
"Instead of thinking wildly here, why don't we take the initiative and force her to make a move. Otherwise, who knows if she will attack us someday? We are too passive."

Pei Wenchang was puzzled and said:

"How to take the initiative to attack?"

Cheng straightened her clothes, then raised her hand to gently touch Zhu Chai in her hair, and sighed:
"It's been quite a while since I haven't scraped cloth to make new clothes, and it's time to add some new jewelry. I heard that that little beast has received a lot of rewards, but they are all from the Holy One. They must be some very good things."

Pei Wenchang understood as soon as he heard it, and immediately laughed, saying:

"My mother is right. Good things should naturally be used by my mother. How can that little bastard deserve to use the things bestowed by the Holy One?"

The mother and son looked at each other and laughed tacitly together.

Back to the old lady's house, as soon as I entered the door, I heard the old lady say angrily:

"Things that are less than successful and more than ruinous! Do you still have the face to come back?"

Although Ling Yu belonged to the old lady, it was Pei Wenchang and Cheng who took care of this matter, so the old lady scolded her very happily.

And because Ling Yu belonged to the old lady, Pei Wenchang and Cheng Shi didn't dare to say anything about Ling Yu, so they could only accept the scolding, stepped forward with a flattering expression, and said:
"Mother calm down, that little bastard is very cunning, sticking fur is smarter than a monkey, maybe he noticed something happened, so he secretly changed the fish soup, so it can't all be blamed on me and Wenchang, you said Yes or no?"

The old lady also thinks that Pei Xiaoran is indeed very spirited. She has tried several times in person but has not succeeded, not to mention Cheng Shi and Pei Wenchang who are not as good as her?
Seeing that the old lady's complexion was a little loose, Cheng immediately said in a timely manner:
"Mother, you also know that Xiaoran got the reward. The Holy Majesty favors Xiaoran so much, maybe he will reward some hundred-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old snow lotus, etc., which will be of great benefit in prolonging life."

At the age of the old lady, silk, satin and jewelry can no longer impress her. Only things related to longevity can impress her.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes lit up.

Cheng made persistent efforts and said:
"Of course I only have my mother in my heart. If I or Wen Zhang get those rewards, I will pick out the best things first and send them to my mother first. Unfortunately, Wen Zhang and I don't have the blessing to be rewarded by the Holy One. Xiaoran is blessed with that, but it's a pity, Xiaoran doesn't have a mother in his heart..."

The old lady narrowed her eyes. Indeed, the reward had been delivered to Pei Xiaoran's warehouse, but Pei Xiaoran didn't even send her a hair.

Cheng sighed, showing a bit of injustice, and pretended to say:
"Let's not talk about how much money was spent on the treatment of her sick third brother and her frail mother. The old lady raised her fourth brother by herself, let alone their The big family's food, drink, and food, what kind of things didn't come from the mansion? Fortunately, she has received a reward, and she is not willing to give it to the mansion at all, she really raised a little white-eyed wolf."

At first, the housekeeper of Pei Mansion was in the hands of the old lady. When the old lady was the housekeeper, she couldn't bear to spend a penny to treat Wu's and Pei Yuxuan's illnesses. The money for their medical treatment was all paid by Wu from her own dowry. .

Later, the housekeeping power was divided into the hands of Cheng Shi, and it was even more impossible for Cheng Shi to pay the two people for medical treatment.

As for raising Pei Yanhe, isn't this the old lady who has ulterior motives to think that she insists on taking him away to raise him?
Not to mention the eating and drinking of Pei Xiaoran and others, this is the home of Pei Xiaoran and others, where are they not eating and drinking here?
Even Pei Xiaoran and his brothers' New Year's money when they were young, the old lady didn't give out a single copper coin, it was Wu's own money for her children.

Of course, these old ladies forgot all about it. Hearing what Cheng said, she just felt that Pei Xiaoran's family really owed her a lot!

In fact, the old lady had thought about those rewards as early as when she heard the imperial decree of the rewards.

It's not that she is jealous of that idea because she lacks something, it's just that she was quite dissatisfied because that thing was not given to others, but to Pei Xiaoran, the little bastard born in the same family.

It's just that if she confronts Pei Xiaoran directly again, she is afraid that she will offend her son again and cause trouble for herself, so she resists not doing anything.

Hearing what Cheng said now, it actually gave her a legitimate reason to do it.

So, what are you waiting for?
The old lady snorted coldly and said:
"If there is no our Pei family, where can we raise their litter? People, you should repay your kindness. Since you live in this family, you should make some contributions to this family. I will bring them tomorrow. People go to move things, and confiscate all the rewards, so that Shizhong will not think that my old lady has shallow eyes, and go grab something from a brat."

Cheng immediately smiled, waved the handkerchief and said repeatedly:
"Mother is so wise!"

On the other side, Pei Xiaoran returned to his own yard after sending his mother, second sister and third brother back to the yard one by one.

Ling Yu followed behind her, inexplicably feeling uneasy.

Since she was not in the Fushouyuan at that time, she didn't know what happened, so when she saw Pei Xiaoran walking in front of her without incident, she still felt dazed and felt too unreal.

Didn't you agree to use fish soup to poison and frame Pei Xiaoran as intending to poison the old lady, and then put her to death?

Then why is she still alive now?

What does that misunderstanding mean?
Ling Yu couldn't figure it out, and was afraid of revealing some flaws, so she had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened and followed Pei Xiaoran forward.

Anyway, she had already found a way out for herself. If Pei Xiaoran wanted to blame her, she would push the little girl who brought the fish soup out and take the blame for herself.

Pei Xiaoran, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

Ling Yu was taken aback, thinking that she was going to start questioning herself, so she forced a calm smile while writing the manuscript:

"What's your order, miss?"

Pei Xiaoran didn't reply in a hurry, but looked up at her, and when she saw her back started to break out in cold sweat, he suddenly grinned and asked:

"Sister Lingyu's stomach still hurts? Did you see the doctor?"

I was going to ask this...

Ling Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was really scaring herself, after all, she had been by Pei Xiaoran's side for so many years, it was impossible for Pei Xiaoran to doubt her.

And when she did it, Eunuch Zhao was reading out the gift list. Everyone was in the yard, and there was no one in Pei Xiaoran's room. Naturally, no one would see what she had done.

Since no one saw it, it means that there is no evidence.

Without evidence, why is she panicking?

Ling Yu completely relaxed, smiled and said:
"Thank you for your concern, miss. The servant is already much better, so I don't bother the doctor anymore."
