stern wife

Chapter 30
But in front of his younger sister who has always worshiped his father, Pei Yuxuan couldn't say much, so he just changed the subject and said:

"The food is getting cold, let's eat quickly."

The three brothers and sister finished their meal with their own thoughts. Pei Runzhi told his younger sister to wash up and go to bed earlier, then pushed Pei Yuxuan to send him back in person.

But after arriving at Pei Yuxuan's small courtyard, Pei Yuxuan told him not to leave in a hurry, but retreated the servants, and took Pei Runzhi into his study.

"What's the matter, third brother?" Pei Runzhi found a stool and sat down. In front of his brothers, he didn't have to stick to etiquette.

Pei Yuxuan turned his back to him, and after a long time, he steered the car and turned around slowly, with a rare seriousness on his handsome face, looking straight into Pei Runzhi's eyes, and said:

"Brother, after waking up from that sudden drowning, don't you think there's something wrong with her?"

Pei Runyi was taken aback, raised his head and thought for a while, then shook his head honestly, and asked curiously:
"What's wrong with my sister?"

Pei Yuxuan sighed softly. He has been in poor health since he was a child, and the strange eyes of people around him, and the regretful or mocking tone when talking about him all made his mind gradually sensitive, and because of this, he was more able to notice some Minor details.

His bony fingers tapped the armrest unconsciously. This is Pei Yuxuan's habitual action when thinking. He said slowly:

"Brother, do you still remember the time when Taoli was executed by her father? At that time, no one thought that her father would be so angry, and kicked Taoli to death in a fit of anger. At that time, except for her father, almost everyone present was frightened." , especially a few children, such as the sisters Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli, were so frightened that they went straight into Aunt Zhao's arms, and it took a while to recover, but look at Xiaoran, she was so scared that she got into the arms In our arms?"

Doli taught her younger sister badly when he didn't know it. After Pei Runzhi heard the news, he just got angry, so how could he care about observing the reactions of everyone present?At this time, when Pei Yuxuan reminded her, she really felt something was wrong.

However, he has always been used to defending his shortcomings, so he subconsciously found a reason to explain for his sister, saying:
"This... Xiaoran practiced martial arts at the age of three, so she might be different from other little girls."

"Xiaoran practiced martial arts at the age of three, but Xiaoran didn't kill people at the age of three! Suddenly seeing someone being beaten to death, even if she wasn't frightened into crying, at least she should be a little frightened? But...she seems Absolutely not."

Pei Runzhi's two sword eyebrows gradually drew together.

"Also, some of her masters asked someone to give her a New Year's gift today. She was not there at that time, so I waited for her in her room with the gift. When she came back, she saw me and seemed to know that I had something to do." Just like her, she found an excuse to dismiss the girl beside her..."

It is not uncommon for the master to have something to say for fear of being overheard by the servants, and it is not unusual for the servants to wave back or send them away. What is strange is that the person who did this was a little girl, and it was Lingyu who had always known her before. A little girl who talks endlessly.

Pei Runzhi couldn't believe it, and asked:
"How do you know it's my sister's excuse, not what my sister really wants to say?"

Pei Yuxuan sighed slightly, and asked back:
"Among the snacks that are always prepared in our house, is there such a thing as jujube paste and yam cake?"

Pei Runzhi was stunned for a while, he didn't pay much attention to food, as long as he could eat enough, so he thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly, and said:
"It seems that there is no..."

"Then, Xiaoran is cute and eats this?"

This time Pei Runzhi shook his head without even thinking about it. He didn't pay much attention to his own food, but he knew exactly what his sister liked to eat and what he didn't like to eat.

Pei Yuxuan said:

"But today she told Ling Yu that she wanted to eat this. There was no such snack in the kitchen. After Ling Yu left, she would have to wait for a while for the snack to be cooked. When she came back, Xiao Xiao and I Of course, the business has already been discussed.”

Pei Runzhi was puzzled: "Why did she guard against Ling Yu?"

As for the people around her who want to serve her younger sister personally, Pei Runzhi naturally has thought about it a long time ago, but after some careful thinking and daily observations, he found that this girl behaved in a well-regulated manner, low-key and restrained, and had never violated the rules. Therefore, she was relieved to let her stay by her sister's side.

Pei Yuxuan naturally observed it carefully, thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"I don't know about this either, but although Ling Yu didn't make any mistakes, she is not one of us after all, maybe my sister discovered something that we didn't..."

Pei Runzhi's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Why don't we find a reason to change..."

"Brother, you don't have to be so careful," Pei Yuxuan chuckled, and said:
"I think my younger sister can handle that girl completely. Besides, she is the girl bestowed to my younger sister by the old lady. If we do away with her, no matter what the reason is, it will definitely annoy the old lady. I can't say it. Give my younger sister a girl who is not as worry-free as Ling Yu, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

Pei Runzhi pursed his lips, and a look of sadness flashed through his eyes.

Pei Yuxuan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly:
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Feng Shui turns around. Today, the old lady is in charge of the whole house. No one knows what the situation will be tomorrow. Besides, I didn't tell my brother these things to make him worry. Big brother, it's a good thing to be wise early. It's just that she is still young after all, and she doesn't know how to cover up her edge, I'm afraid we two brothers need to cover up a little bit for her."

Pei Runzhi looked up at his third brother, nodded without hesitation and said:

"must."

My sister has become calm and enlightened, which is a good thing for those who treat her sincerely, but for others, this change may not be what they want to see. They may only hope that this lineage from the direct line will always be dull. Cowardly and incompetent, they will be tightly held in their hands for the rest of their lives.

It's just that while he was relieved, there was also a hint of distress quietly spreading in his heart.

In fact, they really hope that their younger sister will always be innocent and happy, carefree, and only see the beauty of this world for the rest of their lives.

But in such an environment as the Pei family's, under the oppression that they are still unable to resist, this is doomed to be just an extravagant hope.

The next day, in Fushouyuan.

"That little hoof is only fit to wear the clothes of a servant, what kind of daughter-in-law, in my mansion, I say who is the master, who is the master!"

The old lady of Pei's mansion was quite unhappy after losing Cheng's sycophant who was flattering and flattering her all day long. After her son came back from court the day before yesterday, he asked her to be more detailed in the clothes he made for the heirs. Wearing it when meeting the saint made the old lady feel even worse.
