Pei Qiuyun held on for a breath and defended her mother, "The fourth son is almost twenty-four or twenty-five. People his age already have children. Guan Zhou can't have children, and he won't take concubines. No one can watch the fourth son die without an heir."
"Ah!"
Pei Chen took two steps back and looked at the two distinguished women in the room. He felt that they were very unfamiliar. "Eldest sister, you even know that Guan Zhou is infertile. It seems that Ah Xiu and you are really as close as sisters."
Xiao Yinxiu seemed to have drained all her strength at this moment. She managed to speak through a dry throat, "Eldest sister is concerned about the fourth child, and she is not an outsider."
"Have you ever told your elder sister why Guan Zhou can't have children?"
Pei Chen almost growled.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yinxiu, who had been deflated, suddenly perked up again, raised his head and laughed bitterly, "Are you going to blame my brother Huan and my brother Ling, saying that Guan Zhou couldn't have children because he was trying to save them?"
Bullshit!
This is complete nonsense!
"Xiao Yinxiu, isn't it? Don't you know how cold the water is in those deep mountain waterfalls in March?"
Xiao Yinxiu couldn't hide her grievance, "It was the fourth family who wanted to get close to the palace, so she jumped down!"
What he said was that he saved Huan Ge'er and Ling Ge'er, but it is a crime that he will have to bear for the rest of his life!
Xiao Yinxiu covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably. Pei Qiuyun came up to her and gently stroked her shoulder. "This matter... Ah Xiu, you should think more positively. Regardless of whether you are clinging to her or not, you have saved Huan Ge'er and Ling Ge'er."
"Eldest sister, you don't know that Song is spoiled and arrogant in this mansion."
"Xiao Yinxiu!"
Pei Chen's face turned cold as he pointed at Xiao Yinxiu, "You are such an ungrateful and vicious woman. Your mother harmed Guan Zhou, and you fanned the flames. Others saved your two brothers, but not only are you ungrateful, you also make things difficult for Guan Zhou."
When Xiao Yinxiu was about to retort, she heard Pei Chen say, "If father didn't know you were stupid, he would have divorced you because of Madam Xian's matter!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Qiuyun was stunned and shouted, "Brother Chen, you are confused!"
"Confused?"
Pei Chen snorted and laughed, "My talent is mediocre, but it's better than you two ignorant women. Do you know who Guanzhou saved? It was the tenth prince of His Majesty and His Majesty, the precious daughter of the Qin family, and my, Pei Chen's, twin sons. Only a person without a conscience would be so ignorant as to find fault with Song Guanzhou!"
Whenever Xiao Yinxiu heard Pei Chen speaking for Song Guanzhou, she felt uncomfortable inside.
"She has many good qualities, but she can't bear children. Why can't we ask the fourth son to marry a concubine?"
Women in the world, from the noble Empress Dowager and Empress to the wives of merchants and landlords, no family can live with only one wife. Why is it that this is not the case for Song Guanzhou!
Such a heinous act, yet he was still favored.
Xiao Yinxiu spoke, and Pei Qiuyun agreed.
"Second brother, this is probably what mother meant. She also wanted the fourth child to have a child—"
"Don't say such insincere things. The fact that Mother gave the infant Fourth Child to Aunt Qin to raise tells us that she doesn't have much motherly affection for him. Stop meddling in other people's business and think carefully: if it weren't for Guan Zhou, where would Ling'er and Huan'er be?"
"These things can only mean that Mother and the Fourth Brother's family are not getting along. From now on, we should persuade Mother not to bother with Guan Zhou."
Pei Qiuyun was willing to compromise, but Pei Chen shook his head.
"Forget it, do you believe it? My mother is filled with resentment. She can harm her loved ones, so what can you do to her?"
He sighed deeply, "Eldest sister is indeed filial. I still say the same thing, you take mother away, father takes eldest sister-in-law to live with the third brother, and I will take care of this Pei family and barely make ends meet."
"Second brother!"
Pei Qiuyun exclaimed, "Are you going to force my sister to death?"
"It was my eldest sister who wanted to force me to death. Mother committed an unforgivable crime. In your eyes, Concubine Fang is just a humble concubine. Ha! When did anyone in Dalong treat life so lightly?"
Pei Qiuyun was stunned for a moment, then she argued confidently, "Auntie Fang committed suicide by jumping into the water. How could it be my mother's doing?"
Hearing this, Pei Chen sneered.
The most vicious thing is a woman's heart!
He walked up to Pei Qiuyun and rudely revealed the truth, "Who is Aunt Fang? Where did she come from? How did she become father's aunt? Even... why did my third brother break into the Jianshui room? Don't you know?"
Ah!
Pei Qiuyun was terrified. "Mother... Mother did it for Father. After Aunt Qin passed away, Father was a widow for many years. He finally found a maidservant..."
"You fancy it?"
Clearly, I deliberately sent my son's favorite maid to my bed. Pei Chen said this, stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky and sighed, "I was born weak, and my mother is so strong. Although I can't stand it, I dare not oppose it openly. As my eldest sister said, my mother is good to me."
Unfortunately, he really doesn't want this kind of good thing.
Pei Qiuyun lowered her eyes, all dim and gloomy, "Pei Chen, I can't take my mother away. She's like this now, and I, her daughter, am useless..."
"Eldest sister doesn't want to be difficult in front of Liu Ke, but she doesn't care about the lives of everyone in our family. If she lets mother take charge, the Zhenguo Mansion will be on the verge of quarrels and extermination... It won't be long."
“No… Impossible!”
Why not?
Pei Chen asked back, "You can't divorce your daughter-in-law, so you're thinking of conspiring with outsiders to torture and kill her!"
Having said that, Pei Chen lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yinxiu, "A Xiu, don't you think that only father, me, and the fourth brother know about these things?"
Xiao Yinxiu didn't dare to look up at him, and just shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Pei Qiuyun muttered, "Do we need to let this kind of thing get out there?"
Even she, a daughter who married out, heard from Xiao Yinxiu that everyone in the mansion was willing to put in a lot of effort for Song, who was infertile and caused trouble repeatedly.
"The emperor knows, the East Palace knows."
Pei Chen sneered, "Oh, and the Qin Mansion—"
"This is not my aunt's fault, and it has nothing to do with me. It was done by Madam Xian." Xiao Yinxiu was still unwilling to give up. Pei Chen sneered, "Fool, when your uncle wanted to take you away, I thought that Ling'er and Huan'er couldn't live without a mother, so I allowed you to go. Unfortunately-"
Pei Qiuyun listened intently and said with a wry smile, "People say the royal family is heartless, but it seems that may not be the case."
"Eldest sister, Guan Zhou never tries to curry favor with anyone in the palace. The Crown Princess treats her like a younger sister. Only the women in our family, except for my eldest sister-in-law and the women of the Xiao family, and everyone in the Pei family, look down on Guan Zhou."
whispering sound!
Pei Chen showed his disdain, "Who knows, Guan Zhou also looks down on you!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Shuang Yue, her voice hoarse, whispered, "Sir, the eldest young master's wife is here. She said the second wife is not feeling well. The second master and the eldest son Hua are not at home. Please consult."
Mrs. May is sick?
