stern wife

Chapter 673 Soft but not Weak

Pei Xiaoran sighed lightly, and said:

"I'm wondering if I should tell my fourth brother that the old lady has passed away."

Pei Yanhe is not at home now, but enlisted in the army by himself, and went to the frontier as a soldier.

Although this young master has been a playboy for many years, he wasted a lot of precious time.

But at least he still has the backbone and ambition, and he didn't plan to rely on the shadow of his elder brother or sister to take the position, but decided to rely on his own efforts to earn military merits and come back.

Under Pei Xiaoran's cultivation these years, Pei Yanhe has already changed from what it used to be, and he often borrows Pei Xiaoran's military books to read. Pei Xiaoran is not worried about whether his fourth brother will die before he leaves the army.

And I believe that, given time, my fourth brother will definitely succeed.

only……

Although the old lady Pei had ulterior motives in taking her fourth brother to her knees, but after raising her fourth brother for so many years, her fourth brother must have some affection for the old lady.

If he was told about this, Pei Xiaoran was afraid that his fourth brother would be sad because of it.

But if you don't tell me, how long can you hide it?

When Mother Pan heard that it was because of this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Miss is worrying too much, isn't it? The fourth young master does have some affection for the old lady. He will definitely feel sad when he finds out about this, but it won't be to the point of being sad.

Don't look at our fourth young master who is carefree on weekdays, as if he doesn't take anything to heart, in fact, the old slave is watching, who treats him well and who treats him badly, he knows the truth! "

Pei Xiaoran was dubious and asked:

"really?"

Mother Pan snorted, and patiently explained:

"Who is the person our fourth young master cares about the most? Miss, you are ranked first, there should be no objection to this, right?
But when Miss and Madam and Eldest Young Master were kicked out of Pei's residence, would Miss have any trouble seeing Fourth Young Master go back to Old Mrs. Pei? "

Pei Xiaoran thought about it for a while, then shook his head.

Grandma Pan said:

"Our Fourth Young Master's temper has never been very good. The person he cares about the most has been bullied, but he resisted keeping silent. Isn't this because he is repaying Mrs. Pei's kindness to him?"

Pei Xiaoran was stunned for a moment.

Is there another reason?
I heard Mother Pan continue:

"Also, since we moved here from Pei's residence, has Miss ever seen the fourth young master go back to visit Mrs. Pei?"

"Uh……"

This is really not the case, because before joining the army, Pei Yanhe read books every day and learned martial arts with his younger sister, so he seldom went out, let alone went to Pei's residence.

This new house is full of their own people, so Pei Yanhe's movements cannot escape Pei Xiaoran's eyes and ears.

Grandma Pan smiled and said:
"Look, isn't this enough to prove that the fourth young master of our family doesn't care as much about the old lady of Pei's mansion as Miss imagined?

Moreover, the fourth young master is no longer a child, so he can tell that the old lady of Pei's mansion treated him well in the past, and she definitely had no good intentions.

Besides, Mrs. Pei still treats his dear relatives like that. If he still respects Mrs. Pei, wouldn't he be a fool who doesn't know right from wrong and good from bad? "

Pei Xiaoran was concerned about chaos, so he didn't think of so much.

After Mother Pan's reminder, her heart was relieved a little.

"Then... shall I send someone to tell the fourth brother?"

"Of course I have to tell you, but it doesn't matter if you don't make it in time. The fourth young master is currently in a remote place. Even if he fails to deliver the funeral to Mrs. Pei in time, no one will say anything."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, and immediately asked someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter himself, and asked someone to send it to her fourth brother.

After writing the letter, she was about to have breakfast and then go to Pei's mansion, but saw a messenger girl hurried in and told:

"Miss, His Highness the First Prince has an invitation, and he is already waiting outside."

"Your Majesty?"

Pei Xiaoran was taken aback, then frowned, not understanding why Zhu Lianxi came to her at this time.

And he still came in person, it seems that there is a very important matter.

If it were normal times, Pei Xiaoran would be very unwilling to meet this person.

But today was different, just as she didn't want to go to Pei's mansion to guard the old lady's spirit, His Royal Highness came in time and gave her a reason not to go for now.

Pei Xiaoran said with rare enthusiasm:

"Your Majesty, please go to the front hall and sit down. I'll be there right away."

The girl responded, then turned around and left in a hurry.

Mother Pan was a little worried and said:

"It's better for the old slave to go with the young lady."

After staying in the palace for many years, Nanny Pan also felt that it was very unusual for His Royal Highness the First Prince to come to visit suddenly.

Pei Xiaoran gave a comforting smile, and said:
"Nurse got up early in the morning and did a lot of work for me. She must be tired now, so let's go eat something first, and then go back to sleep and rest.

As for His Highness, it is enough for me to go alone. "

Seeing what Pan Nanny wanted to say, Pei Xiaoran joked again:
"Could it be that His Highness can still eat me up?"

Mother Pan was amused by her, waved her hand and said:

"That's not going to happen."

Immediately, he thought that his young lady was an extraordinary person, and she could handle everything on the battlefield with ease, so there was really nothing to worry about.

Mother Pan didn't insist either, she just said:

"Miss, be careful."

Pei Xiaoran nodded and said:

"I know."

Not daring to make His Royal Highness wait for a long time, Pei Xiaoran quickly went to the front hall.

Seeing the plain-looking little girl who walked in unhurriedly, Zhu Lianxi was a little stunned for a moment.

He had rarely seen Pei Xiaoran dressed like this, and in his impression, it seemed that she would only dress so plainly when her relatives passed away.

The rest of the time, she wears clothes that are resistant to dirt, because she needs to practice martial arts every day.

She said that light-colored clothes are too easy to get dirty, and seeing that beautiful color stained with a lot of dust, she would feel that those clothes were ruined.

However, when she wears light-colored clothes, she has a charming beauty.

It was as if an invincible strong man suddenly became gentle, the contrast was so great that it was amazing.

The most special thing is that even though the dress is so elegant and gentle, on Pei Xiaoran's body, there is no trace of the weakness and pity of ordinary women.

Yes, there are only firm eyes and a smile that makes you feel like a spring breeze.

Like a round of warm sun, it can illuminate all things.

"I don't know what your Majesty is here for?"

In a daze, Pei Xiaoran had already come in front of him, maintaining a salute posture, and asked politely.

Zhu Lianxi's eyelashes drooped slightly to conceal her gaffe, and after quickly calming down, she looked at the person in front of her again and said slowly:
"There is one thing I want to discuss with you."

As he spoke, he made a 'please' gesture to the other party.

Pei Xiaoran took his seat and asked curiously:

"What's the matter?"
