stern wife

Chapter 404 Receiving the Reward!
Seeing the brilliance in her daughter's eyes, Wu couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

Maybe...letting her break out of her own world is really better than letting her marry and have children...in peace?
Everyone had their own thoughts about the meal, and after the meal, Pei Runzhi learned that Mrs. Cheng was dead.

Startled, he asked:

"Why did it suddenly disappear?"

There was no outsider in the room, and Pei Xiaoran didn't hide anything, and said bluntly:
"It's just self-inflicted evil. She originally wanted to use the new aunt to frame the third brother, but I and the third brother turned the army."

Hearing the news of Cheng's death suddenly, Pei Runzhi originally planned to visit Pei Wenchang who unfortunately lost his mother, but when he heard Pei Xiaoran's words, he immediately gave up his thoughts.

To Pei Wenchang, the Cheng family is very important, and to him, his younger brother Pei Yuxuan is equally important.

Since the other party doesn't care about his relatives, why should he care about the other party?

Pei Runzhi wasn't the kind of person who would add insult to injury, but he wasn't someone who couldn't tell right from wrong and had a lot of sympathy, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't bring up the matter again.

Everyone chatted for a while after dinner and tea, and then dispersed, only Pei Xiaoran stayed, wanting to spend more time with Wu Shi.

Wu took Pei Xiaoran to talk in the back room, and as soon as he stepped into the back room, he saw the cloth and needlework placed on the low cabinet by the wall.

Pei Xiaoran frowned all of a sudden, and asked:

"Isn't Mother going to make new clothes for me and my brothers this year?"

Wu replied with a smile:

"Exactly. It's just right. Come over and have a look. Do you like the pattern Mother chose for you? If you don't like it, Mother will go out and buy it."

Pei Xiaoran sighed helplessly.

She didn't like needlework since she was a child, and she always found it troublesome and strenuous, so naturally she didn't want Mrs. Wu to do it.

Being pulled to the cabinet by Wu Shi to look at the pattern of the cloth, Pei Xiaoran didn't look at the cloth, but looked at Wu Shi and said:
"Mother, let the embroiderers in the mansion do these jobs, don't get tired."

Wu Shi chuckled and said:
"Where am I going to be tired? I'm so idle all day long. If I don't do anything, I'm afraid I'll soon become a useless person."

Isn't it very free? The old lady doesn't like Mrs. Wu, and she doesn't have to go to pay her respects every day. From the moment Mrs. Wu entered the house, the old lady and Pei Xingshan never thought of handing it over to Mrs. Wu. .

The original housekeeper was in the hands of Mrs. Cheng, and after Mrs. Cheng died, it stands to reason that it should be handed over to Mrs. Wu.

But the old lady pointed at her phoenix claws, and handed over the housekeeping rights to Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli's biological mother, Aunt Zhao.

For some unknown reason, Aunt Zhao did not happily take over the power like Cheng did at the beginning, but she was modest and wanted to give up the housekeeping power to Wu.

But thinking about it with my knees, I knew that the old lady would definitely not agree, so as a last resort, Aunt Zhao agreed.

Pei Xiaoran was thinking about something, but Wu Shi smiled again and said:
"My craftsmanship has improved a lot this year, so I thought about making a suit for your second sister. I didn't dare to do it for her in previous years. I was afraid that it would look ugly. Your second sister would be laughed at if she wore it out, even though she was in my In my heart, I am no different from you, both of whom are my favorite children, but in the eyes of others, your second sister is helpless, but she is the most bully, alas..."

Pei Xiaoran came back to his senses, when he heard this sentence, his eyes turned cold, but he said with a smile on his face:
"Mother, don't worry, that's all happened in the past, now, I see who dares to bully Second Sister!"

The relationship between her and Pei Yutong is no longer as cold and distant as in the previous life, on the contrary, they are still very close.

If anyone has any thoughts that shouldn't be moved, then just let them go, as long as they are not afraid of death.

Wu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she nodded her little nose, and said:
"Okay, okay, mother knows that you are the best, with you here, who would dare to bully us?"

Pei Xiaoran scratched his itchy nose, quickly brought the topic back on track, frowned and said:

"Mother, the mansion will make new clothes for me and my brother every year. Mother, don't bother to make them for us. If, if mother is really busy, why not..."

She thought about it, and tried to think of a job that would allow her mother to do a little work without being too tiring, and said:
"Why don't you grow flowers? I happen to have some gold and silver rewarded by His Majesty. How about taking some out and building a flower house for my mother so that she can enjoy the flowers and water them every day?"

When Pei Xiaoran mentioned the new clothes made in the mansion, Mrs. Wu remembered what happened at the palace banquet last year.

At that time, because the clothes worn by the brothers and sisters of Pei Xiaoran were too 'shabby', the empress dowager saw that they thought they did it on purpose, and they were almost sentenced to the crime of 'disrespect before the emperor'.

Even if Mrs. Wu is not good at intrigue, she knows that this year, the old lady will definitely not dare to make such clothes to fool and humiliate her children.

No, not just this year, but every year in the future, I'm afraid I won't dare.

Knowing that her daughter was worried that she was tired, Wu also felt that planting flowers seemed to be a good idea, so she said:
"Okay then, but let's start next year. I have bought all the cloth this year, so I can't waste it, right?"

Only then did Pei Xiaoran show a smile, nodded vigorously and said:

"no problem!"

After reaching a consensus, the mother and daughter talked intimately all afternoon, and after dinner with Mrs. Wu, Pei Xiaoran went back to rest in his yard.

Three days later, the palace sent someone to pick Pei Xiaoran into the palace to receive the reward.

It happened that the rewards for Pei Runzhi and others were also thought up, so Emperor Chixuan ordered Pei Runzhi to be called into the palace.

Pei Xiaoran got up early and washed up. After dressing up, he went to Pei Yanhe's place first, and then took Pei Yanhe to Pei Runzhi's residence.

Pei Runzhi has also finished packing and is helping the doctor change Nie Xichen's dressing.

As soon as Pei Xiaoran entered the door, Nie Xichen saw it, and he became excited immediately, waving his arms and said:
"Return my jade pendant!"

"Don't move!"

The doctor was taken aback, and hurriedly reprimanded him, and at the same time, dissatisfied, he pulled the gauze wrapped around Nie Xichen's body forcefully, causing him to groan in pain.

Seeing this, Pei Yanhe clapped his hands happily, laughed and said:

"I told you to bully Xiaoran, now I know I was wrong, haha!"

Nie Xichen's exquisite face flushed red, but offending anyone would not offend the doctor, so he had to suppress his emotions for the time being, not daring to move any more.

Pei Xiaoran walked in slowly, without even looking at Nie Xichen, he said directly to Pei Runzhi:
"Brother, let's go."

"Ah."

Pei Runzhi responded and entrusted the rest of the work to the doctor. Then he stood up and washed his hands next to the sink.

Seeing that the three of them were all dressed up, as if they were going to attend some extremely important banquet, Nie Xichen couldn't help but asked in confusion:
"Where are you going?"
