Pei Chen yawned and walked in front with Pei An, followed by Song Guanzhou and Qi Yueniang. When the remaining snow and cold wind blew occasionally, fortunately the two gentlemen in front blocked most of it.
"Today is the Little New Year, but we still have to offer sacrifices to our ancestors later?"
Song Guanzhou asked curiously. Although the previous memories were still there, they gradually faded as she rarely looked back on them and paid attention to these little things.
Qi Yueniang nodded and said, "Uncle Hai has arranged everything for the day, and my father has also said that we will have dinner at Zhengxian Pavilion tonight."
"Aren't you going to kowtow and bow in the ancestral hall?"
Qi Yueniang shook her head. "Father can just bring the Crown Prince, Silang, and a few other brothers." At this point, she asked Pei Chen, "Second brother, my fourth cousin sent someone to say a while ago that the academy will also be closed for the holidays. Did he say when?"
Pei Chen turned around and shook his head.
"I'll send someone to the academy to pick her up in a few days."
Qi Yueniang then mentioned the dinner at Zhengxian Pavilion tonight. Pei Chen yawned, "I should come back soon to catch up on some sleep. Otherwise, with my haggard appearance, my father would know that I had a fight with Ah Xiu yesterday without even having to tell him."
Pei An was concerned about Zhang Fanghui, "Is my cousin-in-law out of confinement?"
Qi Yueniang nodded, "It's been these past two days. Fanghui went to Ah Xiu's room yesterday and was able to go out."
Pei Jian called Qi Yueniang over and, like Pei An, thought of Zhang Fanghui's body.
When they reached the second wife's door, before they could even take a step inside, they heard a commotion inside. Pei Shuyu came running out, crying, followed by her maid, who kept calling out, "Miss, the wife is calling you."
Pei Shuyu wiped her tears and replied nonchalantly, "Since Mother is sick because of me, why should she care about me? I will leave now and not upset her."
The gate to the courtyard was a little slippery and had frozen in the middle of the night. She ran over and slipped and fell to the ground without noticing. Seeing this, Qi Yueniang quickly called out to her sister to be careful, and Lanxiang and Rendong went up to support her.
Pei Shuyu looked and saw that a guest had arrived.
When she looked up again, it was still that charming face. She felt even more uncomfortable. Why was Song Guanzhou always there when she was in trouble?
She supported herself on the maid's hand and tried to stand up, but she caught a glimpse of Rendong's scarred face. She retracted her hand and avoided Rendong's support.
Honeysuckle was slightly stunned, but still took a half step back sensibly.
Song Guanzhou saw it and smiled in his heart. This girl is not very broad-minded. Is she disgusted with Rendong's scarred face?
joke.
Pei Chen saw this and lowered his head to ask, "What happened to Sister Shuyu?"
Pei Shuyu lowered his head and said nothing.
Lan Xiang exerted her strength and helped Qi Yueniang to stand up. She wiped her tears and saluted the few people. Pei Chen waved his hand and said, "We are family, no need to be polite. I feel very uncomfortable. I will go back to my room and rest first."
Pei Shuyu said yes and was about to leave with her maid.
The little maidservant who had just chased out whispered, "Miss, the mistress is calling you."
Pei Shuyu just ignored her and walked forward with her head down. Qi Yueniang softly instructed, "Serve your young lady well."
A maid had already seen Pei Chen and his companions coming, and hurried in to report that Mrs. Mei was leaning against the soft pillows on the bed. She looked much better than the day before, but her complexion was still sallow. Perhaps she was sick, as her old face had many more wrinkles on it.
From this perspective, the disease is still lingering.
Two illegitimate daughters and two concubines were waiting nearby. When the maid came to report, the older concubine whispered, "Madam, wipe your tears first. The prince is here to visit you. If he sees you crying, I'm afraid he will worry again..."
Mrs. Mei closed her eyes slightly and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The old concubine was quick to move and reached forward with a soft handkerchief to gently wipe the tears from the wife's eyes. "My dear wife, the young master and his wife over there come to ask about you three times a day. Such filial piety is rare. Please don't let them worry."
Mrs. Mei sighed softly and nodded slowly.
"You are a prudent person. Go and welcome her in. I know they treat me, their aunt, very well. But that evil creature I gave birth to is truly infuriating!"
Just as the old aunt arrived at the door, Pei Chen and his group also arrived.
After some pleasantries, they were welcomed into the inner room. Qi Yueniang and Song Guanzhou walked in front, greeted Mrs. Mei, and then sat down next to her on the bed.
Song Guanzhou took Mrs. Mei's hand and saw that she looked in good spirits.
"Second Aunt's illness is also very serious. Fortunately, she recovered yesterday. Otherwise, I would be really worried." Mrs. Mei's palms were still sweating. She gently pulled away from Song Guanzhou and said, "My dear, I know you are worried about me, an old woman like me. But I am sick all over, and you are weak. Don't get too close to me, or you will be infected by my illness."
Song Guanzhou raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly, "Don't worry, auntie, I'm fine now."
"I'm sweating all over. You good kids don't despise me, but you should be obedient. Otherwise, if you get sick from exhaustion, I'll die."
Speaking of death, Pei Chen quickly smiled and said, "How could our Second Wife, who has always been open-minded, be so sad? It's just a common cold that has made it worse. You don't have to worry. Just take care of yourself for a few more days and you will definitely have a good year."
Hearing Pei Chen's concern, he looked at Pei An beside him and saw that he also had a worried look on his face.
Mrs. Mei felt a mixture of emotions. "My dear children, I know how you all feel. You all hope for my best. Don't worry. It was only yesterday and the day before yesterday that things got a little dangerous and scared you."
Qi Yue Niang called the maid early in the morning and asked about what happened last night and this morning.
Finally, he said, "Your eldest young lady hasn't come yet?"
Before the maid could speak, Mrs. Mei said quickly, "Feng'er was worried about me and stayed up all night. It was only at dawn that I took her place to rest. Today is the Little New Year, and there are many things to do at home. She needs to catch up on some sleep so that she can work during the day."
There is heartache in his words.
Song Guanzhou also admired his daughter-in-law. Pei Chen and Pei An were sitting on chairs not far from the bed and were listening carefully.
the end.
Pei An said, "Second Aunt is not feeling well now. She should rest well. She is always worried about disciplining her younger brothers and sisters. It's better to let her go and talk about it after the New Year."
The words were tactful, but who among those present could not hear them?
It was about Pei Shuyu, but she was not mentioned by name.
Mrs. Mei understood what was going on. She had been looking at her four nephews and nieces from the eldest wife's house and had become quite close to them over the past six months. When Hua Ge'er was not around, they relied on these children for many things.
So, I decided not to hide it anymore.
After sending away her illegitimate daughter and her concubine, she spoke softly, "It's all my fault for spoiling Shuyu. Now she's in such a mess. Your second uncle won't be home until later today... Alas, there's no one to discuss this with."
Hearing this makes people even more curious.
Pei Chen pressed on, "What happened to Sister Shuyu that made Auntie so upset?"
"She wants to break off the engagement—"
