Chapter 493
Qi Yueniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. "Ah Xiu, you were born with such a delicate heart for nothing. If Guan Zhou hated you, how could he treat his two brothers so well?"
Xiao Yinxiu sighed, "She——"
The words "can't have children" got stuck in her throat, and then she sighed, "She is suspicious by nature. She used to think that I was deliberately trying to harm her in the matter of Jianshui House, and she has always been brooding over me. Now I also know that she doesn't get along with the eldest girl, but I didn't know it before-"
Qi Yueniang was very confused.
"She doesn't get along with the eldest girl, so they don't have any contact. It's also necessary for the mansion that you have some contact with the eldest girl. Father has never said that we are not allowed to get close to the Jin family in private."
Xiao Yinxiu was stunned for a moment.
"...That's what my sister-in-law said."
Seeing this, Qi Yueniang pulled her up and said, "Shuangyue, hurry up and help your master dress up. Although it's a small banquet, you still need to change your clothes and look more energetic."
Shuangyue has not been having a good time these days. Her master has had his power taken away and has been staying in the house all day, feeling angry.
How can one be found who is easy to serve?
Fortunately, the eldest young master's wife came from time to time to comfort the prince's wife. Otherwise, even if a few concubines came to pay their respects, she would scold them.
Yesterday morning, Aunt Qiao came to pay her respects with a big belly. Just because she said something wrong and smiled, Xiao Yinxiu mocked her. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have been forced to kneel under the eaves.
After finally serving her well, Xiao Yinxiu reluctantly went into Shaohua Garden hand in hand with Qi Yueniang.
Song Guanzhou wanted to stand up to greet him, but Qi Yueniang said in the corridor, "Although you have taken off your crutches, you should not move up and down. Your second sister-in-law and I are not strangers. Just come over by yourself."
After being in charge of household affairs for more than half a month, Qi Yueniang's temperament has changed visibly. She used to abide by her status as a widow, dress simply and elegantly, and speak and laugh in a very reserved manner.
Now she could no longer be reserved and had to worry about all the trivial matters inside and outside the mansion every day. Before Pei Hai left, he left two stewards to help, but they were not Pei Hai after all, and they used to be the people of her mother-in-law and Xiao Yinxiu, so she also had many difficulties.
Fortunately, the two brothers Pei Chen and Pei An supported us from behind.
Pei Chen, in particular, did not feel at all that his wife's power as housekeeper had been taken away, and he became suspicious. Instead, he felt that his eldest sister-in-law should be the housekeeper.
He was more violent than Pei An by nature. Whenever he heard that someone was making things difficult for Qi Yueniang, or that Xiao Yinxiu was deliberately hiding something or making things unclear, Pei Chen would step in and smooth things over.
I remember the night of the second day of August, the autumn rain came unexpectedly but failed to suppress the heat.
Xiao Yinxiu was once again scolded by Pei Chen. Xiao Yinxiu was so angry that she twisted Pei Chen to death. But this time, Song Guanzhou and his wife did not come to the rescue. Pei Chen was not polite at all and kicked her twice in the stomach.
"Just because my father didn't ask, it doesn't mean that my grandfather and I don't know what you and Jin Fuyun are planning. What is the grudge between you and the Fourth Elder's family that you are actually helping outsiders to harm her?"
Xiao Yinxiu was so angry after being beaten and scolded that he spoke without thinking.
"Are you feeling distressed? That bitch coaxed you guys into losing your minds, she's a monster that broke the clan law!"
"Snapped!"
Pei Chen's slap was heavy and loud. Aunt Chu and Shuangyue, who were kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up to protect Xiao Yinxiu. However, Pei Chen wanted to kill them and beat them up. After only a few punches, the two fell to the ground and sobbed.
Xiao Yinxiu was also making a scene and was about to refuse to live.
Pei Chen sneered, took out a pair of scissors from the sewing basket and stuffed them directly into Xiao Yinxiu's hand, "Die! Die immediately. If you die, I will give you a grand funeral. You don't have to worry about my two brothers. If you die, I will definitely ask my uncle and aunt to find another sister to marry into my mansion!"
"Pei Chen, you...you...you ungrateful thief!"
Thief?
Pei Chen sneered, "Who is the thief? Xiao Yinxiu, you probably recognize those robbers in Longen Temple. Now that you want to commit suicide, why don't you tell me clearly, is the one-eyed man among them your lover?"
"You bastard!"
Xiao Yinxiu, who was accused of cheating and being promiscuous by her husband, wished she could die immediately. She cried at her desk, "Pei Chen, at least I gave birth to two boys for you."
"You also know the two brothers?"
Pei Chen came up to her and grabbed her hand holding the scissors without any hesitation, "Die! Die now and you will be free. Brother Bei, Uncle Hai and I have cleared out mother's private vault. No wonder you are shirking responsibility! It turns out that you have done so many dirty things. How dare you accept any gift? You really don't care about the life and death of my mansion!"
"That's my aunt's private vault, what does it have to do with me? That's your mother's private vault! I'm just a daughter-in-law, what can I do?"
Pei Chen sneered, holding Xiao Yinxiu down and pointing the scissors at her chest, "You and your mother dared to hide the heirlooms of the Cheng and Wen families. Do you know who they are? They are rebels who disobeyed the emperor and rebelled against Tiangang! You want to harm the Pei family, don't you?"
"How do I know?"
Xiao Yinxiu was pinned down by Pei Chen, and could hardly breathe. She burst into tears, looking very embarrassed, "That was accepted by your mother, what does it have to do with me!"
snort!
Pei Chen pushed her onto the bed and the scissors almost cut her cheek.
"The Wen and Cheng families had nowhere to turn to for help, so they sent the treasures that protect the house to the mansion. Don't you know what's inside those items?"
thing?
Xiao Yinxiu shook her head, "My husband, I don't know anything about the Wen family or the Cheng family."
do not know?
Pei Chen put his hands behind his back, looked down at the embarrassed woman, and let her quibble. After a long time, he said, "The Wen family and the Cheng family are not stupid. They put something inside. Write down when and where you took these items."
"No!"
Xiao Yinxiu was stunned, "Impossible!"
She looked carefully back and forth, but didn't find anything. Pei Chen lowered his body and said, "You can ask Bei Ge'er. Uncle Hai and I can deceive you, but Bei Ge'er can't. Idiot, I have already carved the words on the inner wall of a thousand-year-old jade, and I told you clearly, but I'm afraid you will turn around and deny it."
What? There is such a despicable thing!
"The Wen family and the Cheng family have both been brought to justice. This... this..."
Xiao Yinxiu stopped crying now and looked at Pei Chen, "These..., my aunt asked me to collect them, otherwise..., how would I dare to do that?"
At that time, she had only given birth to Ling Ge'er half a year ago. How could she have the courage to do that?
Whatever my aunt says is what happens.
Pei Chen shook his head and laughed, "So it's just right that you died. You also know that his two families have been brought to justice, but you accepted so many valuable items from the two families. You are so bold, Xiao Yinxiu, and now you want to collude with the Jin family, working together from inside and outside to harm this family?"
"No, no, no, the Fourth Brother's encounter with the thief was just a bad year. How can it be said that he was sent by the Jin family?"
Pei Chen lowered his head, "Lin Shan has already found out the identity of the one-eyed man who escaped. He is the eldest lady's right-hand man, Yu Cheng!"
