This kind of denial of Gu Xi's ability made her tremble with anger.
What is Mrs. Yang's old lady
If it was in the past, before she attended the Jiang family's wedding banquet, she would have been concerned that the Yang family was Pei Tong's natal family, and Mrs. Yang would be Guo Zilin's sacrificial wine. For Pei Tong's future, she would have endured it no matter what. Take this breath. But now, she can clearly feel that although the father and son of the Yang family have good official careers, they are just short-lived upstarts in the family of officials like Zhang and Li. An official of the second rank or the first rank, or several officials of the fourth rank or higher in successive generations.
The current Yang family is not qualified to compete with such aristocratic families as Zhang and Li, let alone challenge them.
She has nothing to fear.
Gu Xi's face turned cold immediately, she stood up and was about to leave: "In that case, let's take our leave!"
The female family members of the Yang family were all stunned when they saw it, but it was Mrs. Yang who reacted quickly and quickly grabbed Gu Xi's arm, suppressing the anger in her heart and said: "You child, what's the matter with the elders talking about you? No Could it be that the Yang family is not as good as the Pei family, so you think what our old lady said is too harsh? But there is nothing wrong with what the old lady said, right? The two wives of the Pei family are not authentic, why don't they come to visit by themselves? Want you to be a guest? Do you know the purpose of our Yang family inviting them? What is the status of those accompanying guests? Are you not convinced by what the old lady said about you being ignorant?"
Gu Xi has always been arrogant. After going to the Jiang family's wedding banquet, she found that even if the Jiang family looked down on the Pei family, they would not dare to show it in the face. What's more, she also has a sister-in-law from the Yin family, she feels that she is inferior to Yu Tang in nothing except her seniority.
Mrs. Yang's words just hit her unhappiness during this period.
She immediately became wary, and said with a sneer, "Auntie's words are wrong. The second aunt and the third aunt have already said that they can't come because of something, but you insist on hosting a banquet for them. They have no choice but to send me here. I Thinking, although the Fei family is powerful, the Yang family is my natal family after all, so I have to stand on the side of the Yang family. I never thought that in the eyes of my aunt, I was wrong. Am I not a person on both sides? That being the case, what am I still doing here! There are a lot of things at home waiting for me to go back!"
So, the two sisters-in-law of the Pei family really went to Fei's house!
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang exchanged a look, and Mrs. Yang immediately smiled and said, "I know you are filial, obedient and sensible, isn't your grandmother mad at you two wives for being too disrespectful?"
When Gu Xi was at her mother's house, she encountered countless occasions like this. She took the opportunity to make trouble, showing a heartbroken look, and said: "Cooperate with someone you don't want to talk about, and catch me, who came to the door with a good intention, to mess with a knife. Zha. Can I feel better?"
My sister-in-law is not a good wife.
Mrs. Yang was disgusted in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she said: "You are also a member of the Yang family, what's the use of losing your temper now that something like this has happened? Let's sit down and discuss what to do?"
The second Mrs. Yang, who had been silent all this time, saw her, and suddenly interrupted: "What can we do? Hurry up and tell those people not to come! She can't be the master of the house, so it's useless for us to tell her!"
Mrs. Yang seemed to have choked.
Gu Xi almost jumped up.
What's the meaning
Look down on her
There are some things in the Pei family that she really can't be the master of the family, but it's not up to the Yang family to discuss them here.
Gu Xi glanced at Mrs. Yang with a half-smile, and said, "I just said, I'm useless here. There's no point in dragging me like this!"
Mrs. Yang glared at Mrs. Yang, but did not let go of Gu Xi's arm.
Mrs. Yang Er turned her face away, with a look of "I didn't do anything wrong, I won't apologize".
Mrs. Yang showed a headache.
Gu Xi was a little uncertain whether the Yang family had really encountered something and asked the Pei family, or if the two of them were acting, so she heard Mrs. Yang slap the table and shouted loudly: "Okay! Don't bother." I’ve said it. I’m not dead yet, and it’s not your turn to be the masters of this family!”
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang both lowered their heads, and Mrs. Yang even let go of Gu Xi's hand.
Only then did Gu Xi realize that Mrs. Yang was grasping very hard, and her arm started to hurt a little.
She rubbed where she had been caught.
Mrs. Yang's face was exhausted, as if her high spirits just now had been stripped away.
"Daughter-in-law Ah Tong, sit down and talk." She said, "The eldest daughter-in-law stays, and the second daughter-in-law goes outside to watch. I have something to say."
Gu Xi was surprised.
The two wives of the Yang family agreed in unison, Mrs. Yang refilled tea for Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang retreated with the maids in the room.
Mrs. Yang took a sip of tea, saw Gu Xi sitting on her lower head, and then said: "Since you have talked to this point, I will not hide it from you. We have spent so much trouble to invite the Pei family It is true that the two wives came here to make a request to the Pei family. However, saying "request" is for the sake of the Pei family, and the Pei family can also refuse to agree, but the consequence of not agreeing is for the Pei family to decide for themselves gone."
Gu Xi was shocked.
This is not a begging tone, it's a bit like... a threat.
Could it be that the Yang family caught something against the Pei family
Gu Xi is also a person who loses but never loses. He doesn't show it on the face when he hears the words, but his ears are already perked up.
When Mrs. Yang saw her like this, she knew that this was not without ideas.
She exchanged a look with Mrs. Yang again.
Mrs. Yang nodded slightly towards her mother-in-law.
If she hadn't been so powerful, her aunt wouldn't have married to be the eldest daughter-in-law.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Mrs. Yang can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. She said: "After you go back, tell your third aunt that our family wants to get married with the Pei family and make another marriage. If she thinks that the old An of the Pei family is unwilling, it's better to shirk it, and you let She's going to ask your third uncle. Others don't know, but our family knows. Who gave the two hundred thousand taels of silver that the third prince moved back from Jiangnan?"
Gu Xi is not an ignorant woman or child, not to mention Gu Chang, because Gu Xi has no older women to teach her, fearing that she will suffer, sometimes he will use some metaphors about court affairs to her.
She knew about the lecture on the Buddha's Day last year and the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Did the Yang family imply that the three prince's two hundred thousand taels of silver was given by the Pei family
Gu Xi suddenly panicked.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver is a trivial matter. In a deeper way, it can be inferred that it was blackmailed by the third prince, but the problem is that the two hundred thousand taels of silver is also related to the assassination of the second prince.
The emperor has never set up a heir. It stands to reason that he is either a heir or an elder. There should be nothing wrong with the third prince. But the emperor has always liked the third prince, because of the third prince, that's why he didn't let the second prince go. There used to be rumors that the reason why the previous Chief Assistant became an official was related to his opposition to the emperor's abolishment of the elders and establishment of the younger ones.
If the Pei family gets involved in this kind of turmoil, no matter how powerful they are, it will be useless!
In the whole world, is it the land of the king
"What do you mean?" Gu Xi's voice was a little sharp, "Some things can be done indiscriminately, but some things can't be said indiscriminately. The Yang family and the Pei family are in-laws!"
Mrs. Yang was very satisfied with Gu Xi's reaction, and said coldly: "I am so old, how can I still coax you into a child! We want to treat the Pei family as in-laws, so the Pei family must treat us as in-laws. Otherwise, why should we advance and retreat with the Pei family, share the joys and sorrows. Well, you can’t make up your mind about these things. It’s hard for you if I let you talk like this. But the two wives of the Pei family don’t take our Yang family seriously. , we just want to have a good talk with the two wives of the Pei family, so we can only wrong you."
Gu Xi shook her head, feeling dazed in her heart, not knowing how she got home.
But when she got home, she found that Yu Tang and the second wife were not at home.
She was so angry that she took a deep breath, thinking that if this was true, what would she do? I don't know if Pei You was involved? Is it too late for Changfang to draw a clear line with the Pei family
Gu Xi didn't care about changing clothes, so she got on the sedan chair again and went to Gu Chang's place.
Gu Chang hasn't left the office yet, and her sister-in-law Yin isn't even at home.
She couldn't help asking the mother of the Gu family: "What did my sister-in-law go?"
"It is said that it is a treat at Mrs. Qin's house from the Ministry of Rites." The mother said with a smile, "Mrs. Yin, Mrs. Yin, and your two wives have all gone."
Didn't you say Mrs. Fei is here
Gu Xi was confused.
The nanny said: "It's because Mrs. Fei is here! Mrs. Qin washed the dust for Mrs. Fei, and the Qin family invited several wives to accompany them."
Is this Yu Tang's intention to send her to the Yang family
Are you afraid that she will be in the limelight, or that she will make more foreign wives
Gu Xi waited like a trapped animal for nearly an hour, and finally got to Gu Chaoyang.
She took her brother to the study and quietly told him about it.
Gu Chaoyang was so surprised that he couldn't hide his expression, his mind was spinning quickly, and he muttered to himself: "No wonder Pei Xiaguang came forward to clean up this matter? I thought he wanted to show his prestige, and he wanted to come because he didn't want others to Find out that this matter is related to the Pei family? This is really something Pei You can do... "
Hearing his elder brother mentioning his deceased father-in-law, Gu Xi's hairs stood on end, and he hurriedly said: "Brother, this matter is really related to the Pei family? Is it related to my father-in-law? Could it be that the Yang family is lying?"
Gu Chaoyang shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I've heard about this matter before, but I didn't think about it deeply, especially when Pei You passed away suddenly and Pei's family retired to Lin'an."
Having said that, the siblings couldn't help but look at each other.
Pei Yan is a scheming man who has won the trust of Mr. Zhang. Any normal father would not call such a son who is likely to be enshrined in the cabinet back to his hometown to guard the family business.
Or, this matter has nothing to do with Pei You, but with Pei Yan
Both of them saw expressions in each other's eyes that could not be described in words.
"I have to tell Pei Xiaguang about this matter." Gu Chang found that he suddenly seemed to have caught the handle of the Pei family, feeling his throat was a little dry, and said hoarsely, "If the Pei family is in trouble, our family will also implicated."
Gu Chang regretted marrying his younger sister to Pei's family very much at this time.
