stern wife

Chapter 34

She lightly stroked the clumsy but cute little flowers on her clothes, and said in a low voice:

"Mother, I'm afraid...my brothers and I can't enter the palace in the new clothes you made today."

Wu Shi was taken aback for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Because..." Pei Xiaoran thought for a while before continuing:
"Because grandma made clothes for me and my brothers, if we don't wear those clothes to enter the palace, I'm afraid grandma will be upset."

Of course her real reason is not this, but facing her own mother, Pei Xiaoran can only use this reason to explain.

In previous years, Pei Xiaoran and his brothers had no chance to enter the palace, and the old lady would not pay attention to who made the new clothes, but this year is different, and the reason is reasonable.

Mentioning the old lady, Wu's expression darkened, and he murmured in a low voice:
"That's right...it's useless to be a mother..."

She is useless!Otherwise, how could such a young daughter have learned to act according to the face of the old lady?

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about!" Pei Xiaoran showed a smile, hugged the baby in the new clothes into his arms, and arched himself into his mother's arms, just like every little girl who acts like a spoiled child to her mother , full of coquettishness:
"Mother is the most powerful, she also makes clothes for me and my brothers! The clothes made by mother are beautiful and easy to wear, Xiaoran is reluctant to wear them every time, but in the end, he can't wear them anymore! Hmph !"

Wu Shi was amused by her angry little appearance, gently embraced her precious daughter into her arms, lowered her head and kissed her forehead, only felt that at this moment, she had nothing else to ask for.

Although the palace banquet started in the evening, each family would enter the palace early in the afternoon to wait, so after Pei Xiaoran personally escorted his mother back to the yard, he immediately began to dress up.

When it was almost ready, Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan also arrived.

Pei Xiaoran took a closer look and found that the two elder brothers were indeed wearing clothes made by his mother himself, so he shook his little head and said with a serious face:
"Big brother, third brother, today, you can't wear clothes made by your mother, you can only wear clothes made by your grandmother."

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan looked at each other, and asked in unison, "Why?"

Regardless of whether the clothes made by the old lady are good or not, in the hearts of the two brothers, they are far inferior to the ones made by their own mothers.

Therefore, even at the risk of offending the old lady, the brothers decided to wear clothes made by their mother.

Pei Xiaoran can figure out what the two elder brothers are thinking, so the set of excuses she made up in front of her mother is naturally not easy to use. After thinking about it, she stopped making excuses and said:
"If the two elder brothers believe me, they will change. If they don't believe me, then there is no need to change. I won't force it."

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan looked at each other, both hesitated.

As usual, let alone just changing clothes, they would go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire. As long as it was put forward by the younger sister, no matter what the request was, they would agree without hesitation.

But today's request left them in a dilemma.

On one side is a piece of motherly love sewn by the mother herself, and on the other side is the younger sister’s request for them to wear the clothes given by the old lady for no reason...

Pei Yuxuan stared at his younger sister for a while, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile, and said in a firm voice:

"Change, I will go back and change clothes with my elder brother."

"Third brother?!" Pei Runzhi was shocked, he hadn't figured out what to do, so he subconsciously looked at Pei Xiaoran, his face full of confusion.

Pei Xiaoran raised a little finger and shook it, and said very mysteriously:

"Brother, don't ask, the secret must not be leaked."

Pei Runzhi was helpless, thought about it, and felt that the days to come would be long anyway, even if the clothes made by his mother could not be worn during the Chinese New Year, there would be a chance to wear them again in the future, so he went back to his yard with Pei Yuxuan.

As soon as they left, Ling Yu walked in with a food box on the back. Pei Xiaoran asked her to go to the kitchen to prepare it, saying that she would eat it on the way.

Ling Yu only had time to see the backs of Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan leaving, but couldn't figure out why they came and went, so she put the snacks on the table and asked curiously:

"Why did the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master come and go? Don't they go with Miss?"

Pei Xiaoran carefully hung his small bow on his waist, thought for a while, and then went to get another small arrow and put it in his sleeve. Hearing this, he said perfunctorily without turning his head:
"They have some things to go back to deal with, and I will go to them later."

"Oh……"

Ling Yu really wanted to ask what was the matter, but seeing Pei Xiaoran's indifferent attitude towards her, and these days, whenever something happened, Pei Xiaoran would find a reason to send her away, and even woke up when he greeted her in the morning He didn't take her with him very early, so he didn't dare to speak again for no reason, and went to work with his head bowed.

The clothes were quickly changed, Pei Xiaoran and his two elder brothers went to his mother's yard together, and met Pei Huayu sisters dressed up on the way, and a group of people, led by Wu, went to Pei Xingshan's yard.

Pei Xingshan also just finished packing and was walking out, with Pei Wenchang following behind him.

Seeing Pei Xingshan, Mrs. Wu saluted politely, then stepped aside without saying a word.

Even though she still had some affection for Pei Xingshan at the beginning, with the years of torture in this mansion, and Pei Xingshan's growing indifference towards her and her children... No matter how deep the affection is, it has long been lost. The fumes of tossing and tossing dissipated.

As her husband and the father of her children, Pei Xingshan did not fulfill her responsibilities as a husband and father at all. If it wasn't for the weak family and the fear of hurting the innocent children, Wu would have left long ago. Why bother to be tortured like a prisoner in this cold mansion?

So when the husband and wife meet each other, it is worse than meeting strangers. After the ceremony, they are unwilling to say a word.

Pei Xiaoran and others also saluted Pei Xingshan. Pei Xingshan swept them around, and finally landed on Pei Xiaoran and Pei Runzhi's brothers. He said in a very powerful voice:

"This is the first time you have entered the palace, so don't shame me and smear Pei's house, remember?!"

Standing beside Pei Xingshan, Pei Wenchang also accepted the gift from Pei Xiaoran and the others. At this moment, he was secretly refreshed, and he glanced at them with disdain, and there was a schadenfreude sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Just as he was smiling proudly, he suddenly saw Pei Xiaoran raise his head, and a pair of big round eyes looked straight at him. His back felt a chill when he saw it, and he had a feeling that something was wrong.

I just heard this younger sister say with a very innocent and harmless expression:
"My two elder brothers and I will naturally behave well, not to embarrass our father, not to discredit Pei's house. But—"
