Pei Jian raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yinxiu.
Pei Chen saw this, narrowed his eyes, suddenly jumped up, pointed at Xiao Yinxiu and said, "Your room has recently added a variety of porcelain, but are they sent by that young lady? Since when did you become so close to that young lady?"
Xiao Yinxiu was worried at first, but when she saw Pei Chen's expression, she immediately calmed down.
"Uncle, some of the things sent by the eldest girl are porcelain, but they are just toys. I know my limits and have never accepted anything too expensive."
"No problem."
Pei Jian waved his hand to stop Pei Chen who was about to point at Xiao Yinxiu and scold her loudly.
"It's OK for you girls to have normal interactions. I have some old grudges with her father, General Jin, but it's not to the extent that the children of the two houses have severed their friendship. Silang and the eldest girl have been close friends for many years, and I have never questioned it. I called you here today because I wanted to ask if anyone went to the eldest girl's house and missed your incense burning today?"
this--
Xiao Yinxiu's face looked grim.
It's all for that stupid woman from the Song family again! She lowered her head, stood up and replied, "Uncle, please allow me to report that going out to burn incense is not a big secret. When the mansion goes out, the convoy and horses are huge, so they must have made plans in advance. The servants and family servants also knew about it early. Therefore, I don't know if anyone let it slip when they went to the Jin family to return the gifts."
"Check it out."
Pei Jian showed no sign of blame, but he also gave Xiao Yinxiu a big project.
"I'll ask Dahai to check outside the second gate, and you have to come to check the maids and servants." Pei Jian suddenly remembered something, "Dahai came to me a few days ago and said that you haven't been feeling well recently, so you can't check your aunt's private vault for a while?"
"Uncle, my child..."
She had been trying to avoid Pei Hai by claiming she was feeling unwell and busy with housework, but she had never expected her uncle to ask her again and again.
"I know you're in a difficult situation. The burden of managing the household of such a great mansion falls on you. Just put this matter aside for now and let Chen Ge'er, Bei Ge'er and Dahai do it together."
ha?
The two gentlemen who were named looked up at the same time. Pei Chen pointed at himself with his index finger upside down, "Father, me?"
"That's you!"
Pei Jian had always been kind to his daughters-in-law, but because of his cold personality and the quarrel he had with Old Madam Xiao, the daughters-in-law thought he was cold-hearted and had a bad temper.
I dare not disobey at all.
Xiao Yinxiu now realized that she had shirked her responsibility and made her uncle unhappy, so she knelt down in front of Pei Jian and said, "Uncle, I didn't mean to shirk my responsibility."
"Brother Chen, help Xiu up quickly."
Pei Chen was in a panic and wanted to pull Xiao Yinxiu up, but Xiao Yinxiu pulled him to kneel in front of him, "Aunt's private storehouse was prepared for the brothers. When uncle was on the frontier, it could help supplement the family expenses from time to time. The prince and Bei Ge'er would definitely not understand it, or my daughter-in-law..."
"A Xiu, don't be so stubborn."
Pei Jian's tone was calm, without any anger in his eyes.
But Xiao Yinxiu was inexplicably afraid. She lowered her head and said sincerely, "Don't worry, uncle." She wanted to take him over, but Pei Jian was not so easy to talk to. "In this case, it would be convenient if you are here. Let's put it this way. Chen Ge'er is sneaky and cunning every day and has no proper job. Now I have asked Dahai to take back his business outside. He is idle and causing trouble. It's better for him and Bei Ge'er to stay with you. Sell them out as soon as possible. I will use them in a big way."
Xiao Bei couldn't think of any way to refuse, so he had to do the same as Pei Chen and accept it.
After leaving Zhengxian Pavilion, it was getting dark.
The three of them had not had a proper lunch and were now feeling hungry. In front of Xiao Bei, his uncle, Pei Chen made no secret of his rebuke to Xiao Yinxiu.
"Father had told me earlier that if you can't do it, you should tell me in advance and he would definitely let my sister-in-law or Guan Zhou do it. But you just wanted to show off and then shirk responsibility to Uncle Hai. Do you think Uncle Hai is your family's housekeeper, who is only good-looking but useless?"
Pei Hai invited him twice, but Xiao Yinxiu declined both times.
He only said a few words in front of the master, and then the task was brought up again, and he and Xiao Bei were also involved. "Brother Bei will go to school in a few days, you are deliberately making life difficult for us two."
"Prince——"
Xiao Bei couldn't bear to listen any more and hurriedly stopped Pei Chen from speaking.
Pei Chen turned his head and looked at Xiao Bei. "You know best what kind of personality your elder sister has. She claims to be smart, but she doesn't know how smart she is."
"Pei Chen, if you are capable, let's go back and tell my uncle to let you do it alone."
Pei Chen sneered, "You think I can't, but will you, Xiao Yinxiu, still have the nerve to take charge of the household affairs when the time comes?"
She can't even do such a small thing, and you keep her to show off?
Xiao Yinxiu felt wronged several times, and she pointed at Pei Chen and choked up, "Who did my aunt keep the treasury for? She's not dead yet, so who are you going to give it to?"
"Sister!"
Xiao Bei held his forehead with his hand. This couple had no mercy on each other. They pointed at each other and started swearing at each other in broad daylight. Xiao Bei wanted to persuade them to reconcile, but the gentle and elegant Xiao Bei was no match for this couple.
They didn't care about their reputation and just let everything out in a conversation.
"What does father want to use it for? It's not your turn as a woman to question it. If you can't do it, just step down. Don't be in charge of the household affairs all day long. It's terrible!"
Sarcasm is Pei Chen's usual effective and ruthless method towards Xiao Yinxiu.
As expected, Xiao Yinxiu was so angry that she burst into tears and grabbed Pei Chen's sleeve and refused to let go, "Then go back and explain to my uncle that since I can't be the head of this family, I might as well ask to leave!"
"Hey! Are you willing to leave? Then just go."
After saying that, Pei Chen turned around and grabbed Xiao Yinxiu. Regardless of her struggle, Aunt Chu and the other maids' dissuasion and pleading, he dragged Xiao Yinxiu back to Zhengxian Pavilion.
Xiao Bei cried out, stamped his feet, and stepped forward to stop Pei Chen.
"Brother-in-law is also making trouble!"
"Who is making trouble? Listen to what she said. Do you really think I don't dare? I don't think I can divorce her, but she wants to leave me, so why should I keep her? We have a lady from the Xiao family enshrined in the Pei family's Buddhist temple, and that's enough!"
"Brother-in-law, be careful with your words! Aunt is also your biological mother——"
"My own child? Tsk!"
Pei Chen released Xiao Yinxiu's wrist, ignoring the purple bruises on her tender skin from being pinched by him, "Brother Chen, stay away from your elder sister. I'm afraid this woman will be a burden to everyone in the room!"
How can it be?
When Xiao Bei wanted to explain, Xiao Yinxiu started to cry softly. Pei Chen saw this and showed sarcasm and contempt, "Again! A middle-aged woman trying to act like a woman in her twenties and look pitiful? I'm not stupid, I can't stand it!"
After all, walk away.
Xiao Bei sighed and wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Xiao Yinxiu was humiliated on the spot, he had to swallow his words and helped her back to the main room.
When he was about to leave, Xiao Yinxiu whispered, "Silang, my aunt's private storehouse... cannot be explored."
