Chapter 290
Song Guanzhou looked at Pei Chen and was about to reprimand him, but he took a step forward and took the initiative, "Brother, are you drunk? Sister-in-law is so precious, how can she survive if you, a grown man, kick her? How about I send someone to ask father, eldest uncle and third uncle to come and judge, what is wrong with your behavior?"
Pei Chen couldn't utter the word "sly woman" in his mouth.
He thought to himself, what kind of diamond kick is this old man practicing? It really hurts!
Pei An also got angry when he heard what Song Guanzhou said, "Second brother, do you treat second sister-in-law like this all the time? How could she be so hateful in your eyes? Second brother, you are confused! Ling'er and Huan'er are growing up day by day. If it weren't for my virtuous wife here, would you be able to spend your days in idleness?"
Pei Chen felt very depressed after hearing these questions.
"If she is so good, why can't she tolerate the baby in Qiao'er's belly?"
Xiao Yinxiu was leaning against Song Guanzhou at the moment. She saw clearly that Pei Chen was going to kick her. Her heart sank several times. She felt so sad that she choked and said, "It's summer now and it rains a lot. It's not me who asked anyone to splash the water. She has eyes but she doesn't know where to look. She fell down randomly. Is it worth it for you to scold me?"
After saying that, he looked at the woman who was half-buttocks on the drum stool, "She has never been a good concubine. It's okay for me to sell her off!"
When Qiao'er heard this, she suddenly slid to the ground and knelt down in front of her properly, "Madam, it was my ignorance..."
"Qiao'er, get up, don't be afraid of her!"
Song Guanzhou stood in front of him, looking at Pei Chen with a fake smile, "Second brother, you are the prince, why do you interfere in the affairs of the house? Let Silang accompany you to cool down. Everything must be based on evidence. Don't ignore the peace of the family just by listening to one-sided words."
When these words were spoken, not only Pei Chen was stunned, even Xiao Yinxiu couldn't believe it.
She knew that Song Guanzhou was a vengeful person. He had always hated her in his heart and never took her, the prince's wife, seriously. She thought that Song Guanzhou would use the scandals in the house tonight to mock her, saying that women should be virtuous and tolerant.
No one had ever thought that Song Guanzhou would actually ask Pei Chen to leave.
Pei Chen's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Pei An, who let his wife do whatever she wanted. The look in his eyes was roughly like, "You don't care?"
"Brother, let's go to the study and sit for a while. Tell me, what happened today? Was it all because of the basin of water on the steps?"
Pei An's words were full of ridicule. Pei Chen snorted and kept repeating the same thing over and over again, "Qiao'er is pregnant, and she slid down and blushed again—"
"Now that the pregnancy is unstable, little girl, quickly help your aunt get up. If something happens again, the whole floor of my second sister-in-law's living room will be ruined, and she won't be able to avoid the crime of murder."
Song Guanzhou took the lead and finished speaking.
Pei Chen only now realized how unforgiving the fourth brother's wife was!
He calmed down now, "I didn't wrongly accuse her, it's just that Huan Ge'er is so old now, and he doesn't have a girl anymore, I——"
"Having many offspring is a good thing. My second brother is anxious, but he can't slander my second sister-in-law."
Song Guanzhou persuaded softly and signaled to Pei An, who then dragged Pei Chen out the door.
Seeing the prince leave, Qiao Niang couldn't help but worry, "Prince——"
Pei Chen turned around with reluctance in his eyes. Song Guanzhou immediately said unhappily, "Second brother, let alone I am still here, with a room full of maids and servants, even when you are not at home, your second sister-in-law did not let your concubine have sex with you. She will be left hungry and cold."
Pei Chen glanced at Song Guanzhou and snorted, "Guanzhou, I can't win an argument with you."
Song Guanzhou rolled his eyes beautifully, "Second brother, you are a gentleman, and I can't beat you if you get violent with women and children."
"……you!"
Looking back at Pei An, with an expression that showed "I can't do anything to your wife, so I can do nothing to you kid", the two brothers went to the study, and immediately left in the main room were Aunt Qiao and her servant, Xiao Yinxiu and her servant, and Song Guanzhou.
She took her time and let Shuangyue do Xiao Yinxiu's makeup and hair. Aunt Chu brought some hot water and helped Xiao Yinxiu wash her face.
"Today, I was laughed at by you, my fourth brother's wife."
Xiao Yinxiu calmed down, her red and swollen eyes full of fatigue.
Song Guanzhou sipped his hot tea and shook his head slightly, "It's always wrong for Second Brother to hit people. In this room, no one can surpass you and Second Brother. If the subordinates are disobedient, you should teach them a lesson and punish them. Just be reasonable."
As for Aunt Qiao who was standing aside, she paid little attention from beginning to end.
In a sense, she understood the humble status of women in this era, but if she paid too much attention to Aunt Qiao at this moment, she was afraid that it would only make Xiao Yinxiu more disgusted with her.
If she were the original wife, she would not allow concubines to sleep with her either.
Xiao Yinxiu's grievances burst out after hearing what Song Guanzhou said. She wiped her tears and snot with a handkerchief and said with a heavy nasal voice, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, if I really don't tolerate his stuff, I would have sent him away long ago. Why today..."
"My second sister-in-law has always been tolerant and forgiving. If my second brother says that I am jealous, I will admit it. But if you say that you..., it is really unreasonable."
Song Guanzhou had heard about the beautiful girls in Pei Chen's room, but she never liked to meddle in other people's business and rarely asked about it.
Xiao Yinxiu was crying and snotting. She didn't care whether Song Guanzhou was the woman he hated so much an hour ago. She just grabbed her and cried to her. During this time, Song Guanzhou asked Aunt Qiao to come forward and apologize to Xiao Yinxiu.
Because Song Guanzhou was there, Xiao Yinxiu turned his head away and ignored him.
Song Guanzhou took the initiative and asked Aunt Chu to send the child back to the house.
She accompanied Xiao Yinxiu and probably talked for more than half an hour. She let Xiao Yinxiu finish her talk before she finished. "Sister-in-law is usually smarter than me and is more capable than me in handling these household chores. If it weren't for my second brother making you angry, you wouldn't be so sad. Let the maids and the old women take care of you and take a good rest. We'll make plans in the morning."
"He's going to divorce me."
Song Guanzhou held his forehead with his hand, "My dear sister-in-law, where did my second brother get the courage? It was only because I had an extra trick up my sleeve today that I left you in the house. Otherwise, if father, uncle and aunt knew about it, I'm afraid my second brother would be beaten to pieces again."
Hearing this, Xiao Yinxiu fell silent. She was thinking about the last time she brought Cang Ge'er to visit the building and how Pei Chen was beaten so badly.
Now I can't bear it...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad, "I was wholeheartedly doing this for him and this family, but he... and now Qiao'er is pregnant..."
This……
This was beyond the scope of Song Guanzhou's ability to persuade her, so she talked nonsense about Ling Ge'er and Huan Ge'er, praising Xiao Yinxiu for educating the two boys very well. Skipping this topic, Xiao Yinxiu had been punished and fought all day, and now she could hardly hide her decadence.
"Thank you for comforting me, sister-in-law. But you and my fourth brother came here, I'm afraid you have something to say."
