Chapter 1238 Chapter 1238
Xiao Yinxiu couldn't take this in.
Of course she felt wronged!
Logically speaking, Song Guanzhou should treat her as the host and the boss, just like Xu Lingqiao did, politely, gentlely and courteously, but can Song Guanzhou do it?
No!
She was now leaning back in a rocking chair, fanning herself intermittently, looking at the fields of lotus leaves and delicate lotus flowers under the drizzle. In her eyes, there was no trace of herself, the wife of the Crown Prince.
But she still has to apologize for this gift.
Pei Chen knew about the Jianshuifang incident, and he was still so indifferent to his biological mother, not to mention his wife, to whom he had no affection for her anymore.
Because of Song Guanzhou's questioning, everyone in Guanhe Pavilion fell into silence.
Aunt Chu, however, was lively at this moment and quickly stepped forward to interrupt, "What are you talking about, Madam Fourth Young Master? Our Madam was drunk and said something inappropriate. She was wrong, but could she be so close to you that she won't even apologize for her mistake..."
After saying that, he gently supported Xiao Yinxiu's shoulder.
Aunt Chu took the lead in speaking out what was difficult to say. Xiao Yinxiu could only force a smile and said, "Of course it is so. Sister-in-law, please forgive my sister-in-law a little."
Pei An looked at his wife who was not about to speak, so he had to pour hot tea for Xiao Yinxiu himself. "Second sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Guanzhou is open-minded and will not remember your faults. It is your sister-in-law who is making trouble for no reason. In the final analysis, is it Guanzhou who did something wrong? Your sister-in-law is a few years older than my husband and me. She should tell us the truth so that we can correct the inappropriateness as soon as possible."
Is this the fourth one?!
He was actually protecting Song Guanzhou openly and secretly.
She never thought that her weakling would protect others. She felt even more uncomfortable, but she had to deal with it on the surface. "You and your wife are both good people. It was my fault that I was mistaken for a moment."
It was not easy to get Xiao Yinxiu to say these two sentences.
Seeing this, Pei Qiuyu knew that the rift between Song Guanzhou and Xiao Yinxiu was even greater. If it were another girl, she would have been like a quail quietly and would not have had time to hide.
Her eyes rolled around, and she actually spoke up to support Xiao Yinxiu, "Fourth sister-in-law, are you still angry with the second sister-in-law? You are the most beautiful and dignified young lady, with a heart like a man. Don't mind what the second sister-in-law said after drinking."
Song Guanzhou looked at her sideways and said, "My sister has a clever tongue. When she gets married, there will surely be harmonious relations between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, close relationships between the sisters-in-law, and friendly relationships between the aunts and the sisters-in-law."
Pei Qiuyu's face suddenly turned ugly.
She forced an awkward smile and said, "Fourth sister-in-law is teasing me, but I haven't proposed marriage yet."
"That's right. My sister is still young, and there aren't many people around my aunt. There are three brothers in the family, and there aren't any extra daughters. Well, sister-in-law, I forgive you. I only ask you to keep this good sister for a few more days, so that we won't be in such a big mansion with only the three of us sisters-in-law looking at each other like dead wood!"
what--
Pei Qiuyu was a little panicked. She had never expected Song Guanzhou to say that. Xiao Yinxiu felt strangely relieved when she heard it. "As long as Fourth Sister-in-law doesn't take it to heart, that's good. I agree with her. Actually, it's also our fault that we three sisters-in-law can't give birth to a lovely little girl. Qiuyu is a few years younger than Sister Ling Qiao, so she could have kept her."
Pei Qiuyu: ...No!
Song Guanzhou pointed at his legs and said, "My eldest sister-in-law and I are both in a difficult situation now. We are only looking forward to my second sister-in-law. When will she give birth to a sweet little girl? When will she let our second daughter get married?"
She spoke so happily that Pei Qiuyu almost bit his teeth.
She had to pretend to be shy and said, "I will naturally follow the arrangements of my brothers and sisters-in-law."
Song Guanzhou is not really eighteen or nineteen years old and is not familiar with the world. In her previous life, she was a veteran in the workplace and was used to the confusion of right and wrong and black and white. If she wanted to care about everything, she would probably have died of internal exhaustion long ago.
So, Xiao Yinxiu came to her hypocritically to seek peace of mind, and she went along with it and did as she wished.
She also wanted to disgust Pei Qiuyu, the silly girl who couldn't tell the directions, but Pei An was unwilling to let the matter go.
"I know you've been working hard, sister-in-law. But you've put Guan Zhou in such a difficult position. I think you should give me an explanation. Otherwise, you two sisters-in-law will be so harmonious today, but you'll quarrel at the dinner table tomorrow. That would be disgraceful."
"Fourth——"
Pei An was leaning back on a chair, with black hair and a handsome face, his dark robes fluttering in the wind, giving him an ethereal aura that was hard to find in this world.
He sat opposite her, seemingly with a smile on his face, but in fact he was protecting the woman who was sitting not far away watching the lotus flowers after the rain. Xiao Yinxiu felt as if a hand reached into her heart, pinching her internal organs and causing her pain.
"...Fourth brother, you misunderstood. I've always loved watching boats, and when I'm drunk, it's inevitable that I'll say something wrong."
"Second sister-in-law, is it because Guan Zhou saved you from Second Brother's feet? Are you blaming my wife and I for meddling in your affairs?"
Oh my god!
Song Guanzhou suddenly felt happy. This man still had some fighting ability, but he was not so strong when facing Jin Fuyun.
His words were unpleasant to the ear, and Xiao Yinxiu's face turned blue and red, feeling very embarrassed.
Just when he was unsure how to respond, Qin Qingdong laughed, fanning himself. "...Second sister-in-law, quickly scold your uncle. He's in the Hanlin Academy now, and he has some authority. Don't let him get too complacent!"
"Second Young Master, you're joking. I'm just a woman, how could I randomly scold Fourth Brother for no reason? Well, Fourth Brother is a rare talent in Dalong. I'll forgive my sister-in-law for this time. In the future, I must not drink too much and make mistakes."
After saying this, he stood up and was about to kneel down to apologize to the couple.
Pei An was agile and supported Xiao Yinxiu. "You are my cousin and also my sister-in-law. There is no need to say how close we are. We are blood relatives. If Guan Zhou offended my sister-in-law, please be patient and tell me later. I will bring her to you to apologize."
In a word, don't make things difficult for my wife in the future.
If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me!
Xiao Yinxiu responded casually with a few words, and used Ling Ge'er and Huan Ge'er as an excuse to say goodbye and leave. Pei Qiuyu hesitated for a moment, and followed Xiao Yinxiu away.
After the man disappeared, Song Guanzhou turned around and took Pei An's hand, smiling so much that his eyes lit up. "I am flattered to have your protection today, sir. Thank you very much!"
Qin Er, with a look of irritation on his face, turned to Ren Dong and said, "Your young mistress is truly one of the most shameless people in the world!"
Honeysuckle covered her mouth and laughed, "Second Young Master, you are joking."
You are the most shameless person. I am afraid you will stay in Shaohuayuan for a few more days——
"When Second Brother gets angry, he doesn't let anyone have an easy time. Seeing Second Sister-in-law's eyes swollen, I'm afraid she's had a hard time these past two days. You should stay away from her from now on."
"joke!"
Song Guanzhou didn't even think about it. "I've been hiding in Shaohua Garden. Where else can I hide? Yes! I'm going to live in Wenxi Villa—"
She suddenly perked up and talked to Xu Lingqiao about Wenxi Villa.
Finally, he sighed, "My father gave it to me at the beginning of the year, and now it's almost June, and I haven't even been there." He looked at Pei An sadly, and Pei An was helpless, "When your leg is better--"
