stern wife

Chapter 669

Pei Xiaoran glared at him dissatisfied, but he didn't knock off the pig's trotter, he only listened to the movement inside, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he shrugged and said regretfully:
"It seems that we will have to wait a little longer to avenge our revenge."

The voices of the two were very low, only each other could hear clearly, and at this time the aunts and young ladies in the room were all talking with Princess Wuyang, so no one noticed their conversation.

Wuming couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth, raised her hand to rub her soft hair, and said:
"Not urgent."

After a while, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Pei Xingshan came back one after the other. Mrs. Pei's face was expressionless, while Mrs. Wu's expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what the two of them had just talked about.

However, judging from the sarcasm mixed with the anger of Mulberry Silkworm who didn't know when he returned to his side, he knew that Pei Xingshan must have said something bad just now.

Due to the occasion, it was inconvenient for Pei Xiaoran to ask immediately, so he had to endure it secretly.

After seeing the expression of Mulberry Silkworm, Wuming thought for a moment, and then moved to Wu's side without any trace.

Covered by the wide sleeves, he gently shook Wu's hand, and then let go.

Wu Shi was startled, but also afraid that the dodging movement would be too big to attract the attention of others, so she had no choice but to stay still.

Turning his head in confusion, he saw Wuming looking down at her, his eyes flickering softly, seeming to comfort her.

Although I don't know how Wuming knew that she was wronged just now, but Wuming is really the first man who looks at her with such soothing and gentle eyes.

Wu Shi's fair cheeks were stained with a thin powder, adding a bit of beauty, and then she shook her head lightly, indicating that she was fine.

Wuming retreated to Pei Xiaoran's side again, so as not to be misunderstood by others.

More importantly, to avoid being discovered by Pei Xiaoran and being beaten up by Fatty.

Pei Xiaoran was immersed in his own thoughts, but he didn't notice Wuming's small move.

Everyone had different thoughts, because they didn't know when the old lady would ascend to heaven, so they had to continue to wait in the main house.

However, Princess Wuyang would not wait outside because of that old woman who was from a lowly background and who was even more disrespectful to her. Soon, she winked at the female officer beside her.

The female officer understood immediately, and said that Princess Wuyang didn't close her eyes for several days in a row in order to serve the old lady. She hoped that Princess Wuyang could go back and have a rest first.

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately followed to persuade Her Royal Highness to go back to rest quickly, so as not to be exhausted, which would be bad.

Princess Wuyang pretended to refuse several times, but seeing that she couldn't refuse, she went back to her yard to rest with a face full of shame.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed, and everyone was less restrained in speaking.

However, as the night deepened, sleepiness surged, and no amount of topics could cheer up everyone.

Looking at Mrs. Wu who covered her lips and yawned, Pei Xingshan frowned slightly, and just wanted to call a doctor to ask how the old lady was doing.

If the situation is optimistic, there is no need to keep so many people here to guard.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw a doctor running out of the room in a panic, before he even had time to salute, he said:

"My lord, go in and have a look, the old lady is going to die!"

Everyone was startled, and quickly followed Pei Xingshan into the inner room.

The old lady on the kang was rolling her eyes, her whole body was twitching, and her teeth were chattering, as if she was enduring great pain.

However, he just couldn't swallow that last breath, it looked extremely scary.

When Pei Youmin, Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli saw the old lady's appearance, they screamed and hid behind the adults.

Pei Xiaoran was used to seeing life and death, so he didn't have any fear.

only……

Seeing the old lady in extreme pain, a certain part of her heart was inexplicably touched.

She remembered that before she died in her previous life, she was also extremely painful.

Needless to say, I knew that Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli had poisoned the bowl of meat porridge they ate.

The old lady was fine when they came, but suddenly she became like this, I'm afraid it's a little strange.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiaoran couldn't help but glance at Wuming.

After receiving her gaze, Wuming knew what she wanted to ask without even needing to speak, so he nodded slightly, and then made a gesture to signal that he would speak later.

Pei Xiaoran was inexplicably impatient, because she vaguely felt that this seemed to be a very important clue.

Maybe it can help her solve the mystery of why she was killed in her previous life!

Biting the tip of his tongue hard to calm himself down, Pei Xiaoran took a deep breath silently, and continued to watch the development of the situation quietly.

The doctors were in a hurry, trying to diagnose the cause of the old lady's sudden appearance.

After all, this was an unexpected situation and it was not within their expectations, so they all panicked.

As the old lady's own son, Pei Xingshan was very calm, while directing the people to bring the shrouds that had been prepared, he said to the doctors:

"Don't be afraid, the old lady's time has come, even if she can't be cured, I won't blame you."

Hearing this, the doctors breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady's body was already on the verge of failure, so she died after not holding on for a while.

The servants in the house fell to their knees one after another, crying and howling suddenly.

Everyone also put on a mournful expression in response to the occasion, especially Pei Youmin, Pei Huayu, and Pei Shuli. They cried especially sharply and miserably, whether they were frightened or genuinely sad.

After Xiao Lian passed, the old lady's body was sent to the mourning hall that had already been arranged, and the rest of the work was to keep the spirit.

The wake is usually done by the men in the family, so the women can go back and have a rest and come back tomorrow.

After arranging the matter of taking turns to guard the spirit, Pei Xingshan took a look at Mrs. Wu, and walked over slowly, with a kind tone:

"It's not early today, why not..."

"It's better for us to leave earlier." Before Pei Xingshan finished speaking, Pei Xiaoran knew what he wanted to say, and answered in a timely manner:

"Tomorrow we will come over earlier, but my lord also knows that my mother is no longer part of the Pei family, and it would be inappropriate to come here, so please forgive me."

Mrs. Wu's willingness to visit Mrs. Pei before she died was an act of benevolence.

As for guarding the spirit of that old woman who has done all the evil things, even if Mrs. Wu is willing, Pei Xiaoran will definitely not let her mother suffer such grievances.

Pei Xingshan originally wanted to keep Mrs. Wu and others to stay in Pei's residence for one night, but who knows, the kindness that was finally born was ruined by someone unceremoniously.

Although inexplicably wanting to keep Wu Shi in his heart, the face of the Duke and the Pei family are much more important than his own inexplicable thoughts.

Therefore, when Pei Xiaoran categorically refused, Pei Xingshan didn't hold back much, but his tone suddenly became much colder, he nodded and said:
"Okay, then go back and rest, I won't send it off."
