The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 319

Pei Jian had mixed feelings. Between him and the emperor, publicly, he, the great general who guarded the border, ended up suffering a great defeat. Privately, he let down Xiao Zhanbing, who had once been the number one in both of their hearts.

He was the emperor, but he gave up his military power and only retained his title.

And it seems that I am just living a low-key life, supporting the precarious government office.

The emperor's mind is as deep as the sea, so he can only see and speak less frequently and completely disappear in front of the emperor, hoping that the busy emperor will forget about their Pei family.

How could His Majesty not know about these plans?

Therefore, not to mention that the Pei family cannot get close to the royal family, even the emperor would not allow the crown prince, the princes, and the queens and concubines to have any contact with the Pei family.

Now, with the arrival of the Tenth Prince, this is...

He pondered carefully, trying to figure out the emperor's intention, but he had no idea. Pei An saw this and whispered, "Father, this is a blessing for our family. I heard from Erlang that the tenth prince also came incognito. We just need to protect and entertain him."

At this point, it is indeed the case.

"Then... Erlang, can the Tenth Prince have his meals at home? If so, is there a eunuch in charge?"

Qin Qingdong waved his hand, "Don't worry, sir. His Majesty and His Majesty have agreed to let the Tenth Prince come. They must have trusted the lord's mansion. When the time comes, just stay with us for food and other necessities."

With these words, Pei Jian shook his head and laughed, "Your Majesty will naturally make the arrangements. This is fine."

Qin Qingdong heard some old stories, and although he did not understand them, he also knew that if Pei An had not been too dazzling, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would have acted in a low-key manner in the past and almost disappeared from the circle of powerful people in the capital.

In addition, the old lady of the Pei family was so busy with the rear quarters that she almost became a laughing stock.

Judging from Mr. Pei's past fame and ability, he would know that this would hinder the family's growth. However, between survival and growth, he could only consider the former.

"Don't worry, sir. This is not only new to the Tenth Prince. Even the Emperor's eldest grandson has been bothering the Crown Princess for a long time since he heard about it. He said he wanted to come. But the Emperor thought that the Emperor's eldest grandson was too young to understand if he came, so he didn't want him to cause trouble."

Pei Jian glanced sideways at Qin Qingdong, trying to tell from his face whether he was exaggerating.

But all that could be seen was Qin Qingdong's face, which was more serious than usual. He looked at the three elders, locked eyes with Pei An, and said truthfully, "Your Majesty and His Majesty have always remembered Guan Zhou's life-saving grace, and Guan Zhou has never used this grace to ask for some reward. You should know that Your Majesty likes people like this the most."

——Don’t seek repayment for favors!

Pei Jian raised his head and sighed, "Yes, Guan Zhou never cares about these things."

If you care, then in this mansion, Song Guanzhou established himself by saving several children. Who could disagree?

At that time, what else can the prince and his wife do?

But this daughter-in-law never does, maybe because she is too proud and looks down upon it all, or maybe because she is lazy and thinks it is better to be an idle person.

Because the tenth prince was coming, Pei Hai received Pei Jian's instructions and turned around to look for the Crown Prince's wife, but then he remembered what he had said in the morning, that the eldest young master's wife could also make the decision on everything.

He paused, thought for a moment, and went to Kuoyuezhai.

Lan Xiang welcomed her in. Qi Yueniang was already waiting in the guest room. Pei Hai greeted her and said directly, "Madam, the Crown Prince's wife is not happy. I have no choice but to come to you to discuss the competition between the Fourth Young Master's wife and the cousin tomorrow."

Qi Yueniang smiled and said, "Uncle Hai, don't be polite. Just tell me what you have to say."

"The tenth prince is coming, and he said that all the food and daily necessities will be with our master..."

"what?"

Qi Yueriang was so shocked that she looked sideways, "Uncle Hai, this... is really a big deal." It was just a small elegant event in the mansion. Several girls and boys in Second Uncle's mansion would get together from time to time to form a poetry club and play like children. How come even the royal family was alarmed?

I have re-ordered the food and supplies, and I am thinking that I may need to install some new bamboo curtains around the lotus pond today...

After discussing it again, Qi Yueniang stood up and wanted to go to Xiao Yinxiu to tell her, but she came to nothing. She asked the maids, and they only said that the Crown Prince's wife had gone to Madam Min's place.

After a moment's consideration, she took Lanxiang to Nuanfeng Garden.

Xiao Yinxiu was discussing the return journey with her mother. When the mother and daughter were talking excitedly, the maid outside came to report, "Madam, Madam, the wife of the eldest young master of the mansion is here."

"Please come in quickly."

Before she finished speaking, Madam Liu and Qi Yueniang had already walked in arm in arm. "You two are talking about having fun, but you don't know there are mosquitoes and insects biting outside. I can't bear to leave Qin'er's mother, so I came in without telling her. Madam and Xiu'er, please don't blame me."

"It's a polite thing to say. I thought you were a lady. Otherwise, the maids would have chased you out."

Mrs. Min was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Liu, and asked Qi Yueniang about Qin'er's fever and cold. "Thank you for your concern, Madam. He was naughty. He ate too much in the private school and ate some ice. He made a fuss when he came back. He is fine this morning, so he should be fine."

"That's good. Although the weather is hot, you still have to ask the maids to watch over you. Avoid being too cool as it will damage your spleen and stomach. Don't do that."

After talking about the child and the return journey and exchanging pleasantries, Qi Yueniang stated the purpose of her visit.

"The tenth prince will come to the mansion tomorrow..."

After hearing the news, Xiao Yinxiu could no longer hide her annoyance, but in front of her mother, she just said she had a headache and a fever, and left everything to Qi Yueniang.

Mu Er was heard talking outside, and soon Wang Qionglan came in, followed by Xiao Cang.

The two of them exchanged greetings. Mrs. Min looked at Wang Qionglan and asked, "Why aren't you going to bed yet so late?" Wang Qionglan smiled and replied, "I was about to go to bed, but Xiao Du was still outside, so I decided to wait for a while."

It happened that Mu Er was arguing with Xiao Cang outside, and he came out to take a look.

After persuading the master and servant to leave, she saw that the light was on in the lady's room, so she simply brought the gold nugget in there. When she entered the room, she found that Xiao Yinxiu and her sister-in-law were both in the room.

After sitting down, Xiao Cang slammed the table and stood up after hearing Qi Yueniang's words.

“…Good thing!”

Xiao Yinxiu poured cold water on him, "What's good about that? He is the tenth prince that His Majesty favors, not someone else. He is young, and may not understand the calculations of you. You can go back to His Majesty and complain about him. You and your fourth brother's wife will not end up well."

"Sister-in-law, you worry too much."

Qi Yueniang gently patted the back of Xiao Yinxiu's hand and said, "The Tenth Prince is very smart."

Xiao Yinxiu wanted to say something else, but Xiao Cang said, "If you don't like it, just don't come to see me."

"Of course not."

The brother and sister are very distant from each other.

Xiao Cang smiled and replied, "That's great. If you don't say those sarcastic remarks, I will definitely be able to calculate better."

"Asshole! Now that you've grown stronger, you're talking to your elder sister like that?"

Xiao Yinxiu suddenly turned his head and stared at Xiao Cang, but Xiao Cang didn't care at all. "That's the truth. You don't even know all the characters. What's your education? I'm afraid you only know how much the red envelopes and gifts are. If you go deeper, you won't understand even if I tell you."

The obvious disdain added to the rift.
