stern wife

Chapter 777
Zhu Lianxi couldn't help stretching out her hand, and took Pei Xiaoran's hand that was on the table.

He said softly:

"Xiaoran, I will definitely treat you well."

Pei Xiaoran was slightly taken aback, but after reacting, he didn't dodge, but sighed softly.

Keenly aware that the other party seemed to have something on his mind, Zhu Lianxi asked quickly:
"what happened?"

Pei Xiaoran glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Your Highness, there is something that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Zhu Lianxi smiled soothingly and said:
"You and I are about to become husband and wife, what else should we not talk about?"

Only then did Pei Xiaoran say:

"Your Highness must have known that the current Pei family has changed.

Since my second uncle went back, he dismissed his aunt and servants at home, and put his own people in.

My uncle and aunt also moved away from Pei's house because of this.

My uncle still has a few villages under his name, and the second uncle didn't ask him to return them. I'm not worried that they will find it hard to make ends meet after they move out.

I'm just worried about my cousin.

My cousin is very old now, she was injured before, and her health is not very good...

My aunt once came to beg me, thinking that I had a lot of connections, and asked me to help my cousin get married.

But those with a high family background look down on the cousin at all, while those with an average family background look down on the cousin.

My cousin and I grew up together, and I don't want to see her alone in this life, so..."

Pei Xiaoran didn't finish his words, but the unfinished meaning was quite clear.

Zhu Lianxi's complexion suddenly became ugly.

What is it that the woman I love the most asks me to marry another woman?
Unless she doesn't love herself, otherwise, how could she be willing to give herself to other women?

Just when he was about to have an attack, he saw Pei Xiaoran showing a distressed expression, and sighed:

"Actually, I don't want to do that either.

But my aunt has already come to me, and my cousin is my sister who is related by blood.

I... I am also very embarrassed, I don't know what to do..."

Only then did Zhu Lianxi's face look a little better.

He thought for a while and said:

"How about this, let her marry one of my subordinates, what do you think?"

People who can serve as the eldest prince's subordinates are not ordinary people, and they will never wrong Pei Xiaoran's cousin.

Moreover, it was Zhu Lianxi who spoke in person, even if it was to please Zhu Lianxi, that subordinate would never have any objections.

After hearing his proposal, Pei Xiaoran shook his head, and answered the wrong question:

"Your Highness, do you know why my cousin hasn't married for so many years?"

"Because you have a sweetheart?"

This is mostly the reason why women have not married for a long time, Zhu Lianxi blurted out.

Pei Xiaoran nodded, and then asked:

"Your Highness, do you know who my cousin's sweetheart is?"

Her cousin's sweetheart, how did he know?

Let alone his sweetheart, he doesn't even know who her cousin is.

Zhu Lianxi couldn't help asking:
"who is it?"

Pei Xiaoran blinked his big round eyes, just looked at him without speaking.

After the two looked at each other quietly for a while, Zhu Lianxi finally understood.

"it's me?!"

Pei Xiaoran nodded silently.

But this is not unusual.

With Zhu Lianxi's status and character, there are not many young girls who secretly wish to marry him.

It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a woman who was so persistent and refused to marry for many years because she liked him.

Zhu Lianxi became a little curious and asked:

"I don't know who your cousin is?"

Pei Xiaoran smiled slightly and said:
"Your Highness has seen her, and she has a relationship with His Highness.

Your Highness still remembers that woman who was bitten by a snake while chasing His Highness for help, and finally hugged His Highness and refused to let go when she was hunting? "

Zhu Lianxi's memory has always been excellent, and he can remember everything, as long as he is reminded a little.

but……

After Zhu Lianxi remembered this incident, he only hated himself for having such a good memory.

Such a shameful thing, why does he still remember it?Should have forgotten long ago!
It turns out that the cousin Pei Xiaoran mentioned is her? !
Zhu Lianxi's face was even uglier than before.

Pei Xiaoran lowered his head, covered his lips and gave a fake cough, suppressed a smile, then put on a very embarrassed look, and said:

"Your Highness, if you don't want her, I'm afraid my poor cousin will never get married in this life...

And if my cousin's life is not good, how can my conscience be at ease?
But the person I married is also the person my cousin loves the most. When I go back to my mother's house, how should I face my cousin?
Ugh……"

She has always been very thoughtful, and she can't be stumped by any problem, and she always looks like she has both ways and has a spare edge.

It's really rare to see Pei Xiaoran sighing and in a dilemma.

It's no wonder that human feelings are more difficult to solve than any problems and difficulties.

Except for those who live in seclusion, who can escape the big net of human favor?

Zhu Lianxi naturally wanted to help Pei Xiaoran solve his problems.

But, but that woman is really, really...

Too difficult!

It's so hard to deal with until now, thinking of what happened to her once, it makes Zhu Lianxi feel a splitting headache.

If this thing is married and brought home, will there still be a peaceful life to live?
No, no, absolutely not!
I wanted to refuse cruelly, but when I looked up, I bumped into a pair of pitiful eyes full of pleading.

Zhu Lianxi suddenly thought that these two people have the same origin, if he refuses to take over this trouble.

Then, the person who was disturbed was Pei Xiaoran.

Therefore, His Highness the First Prince's heart softened and his brain became hot, and he nodded his head and agreed, saying:
"Just do what you want.

However, please remember that this is not what His Highness wants to marry, she was only accepted for your sake. "

Hearing this, Pei Xiaoran's big eyes lit up immediately, he nodded repeatedly, stood up and bowed gracefully, and said with a smile on his face:
"Then thank you, Your Highness!"

This is probably the brightest smile that Pei Xiaoran showed him.

That's the price to pay...a little bit too much...

After leaving the teahouse, on the way home, Pei Xiaoran's footsteps were much lighter than when he came here.

The silkworm on the side looked around and said curiously:
"Master, do you really want to betroth your cousin to His Royal Highness?"

She thought it was just a bait that Pei Xiaoran threw out according to Pei Youmin's preferences in order to make Pei Youmin do things for her!
"Of course! When a gentleman says something, it's hard to follow! I will naturally do what I said~"

Pei Xiaoran replied as a matter of course.

"But……"

But doesn't my master have an enmity with that cousin?Why did you help the other party talk about such a good marriage?
