The second wife helped Gu Xi tuck the quilt distressedly, and said in a gentle voice: "How can this be called trouble? Isn't the man doing things outside just to make life easier for the family members. If he doesn't help at all, how can he have it?" The face said that it was your elders. You rest well and don't worry about other things, there is me, your third aunt, and your second and third uncles!"
Gu Xi lost her mother since she was a child, and grew up wearing armor in front of her stepmother. Even if she had occasional warmth, it was also a hypocrisy plotting against each other. How could she ever be cared and loved by her elders like this.
Her eyes were slightly wet, and she didn't know what to say.
Seeing him, Pei Tong hurriedly thanked his wife.
The second wife sighed, and said to Pei Tong: "You don't have to worry about the elders, I will let your second uncle's father write a letter to Lao An. But for your mother, I'm afraid you have to explain it yourself. There is also a mistake. I know that you have just got married and there are no elders to watch over you. Your second uncle told me specifically, but the young lady still... If your mother asks you, you can say it is my fault. I did not help her take good care of her. .Your daughter-in-law is also feeling bad, there are some things, you have to be considerate!"
The implication is, don't let the eldest wife take her anger out on Gu Xi.
Pei Tong blamed Gu Xi a little bit in her heart, thinking that in order to hold her hostage, she announced the happy news to the elders in advance when the child was less than three months old, and then she didn't pay attention to the happy news, so she had a miscarriage.
But the second wife's words were all for this sake, no matter how much he disliked, he could only keep it in his heart.
What's more, what the second wife said makes sense.
He is a man, he should be more generous.
"I know what to say." Pei Tong assured the second wife, "I won't embarrass Ah Xi."
The second wife nodded in satisfaction.
Gu Xi turned her face away, blinking her eyes hard, not wanting to let tears fall.
Pei Tong was the best man she could catch at that time. She made up her mind to marry him, but she didn't expect that the Pei family was even better than she imagined.
At this moment, she secretly decided that she would never do such a stupid thing again, and would live a good life with Pei Tong in the future, trying to make up for the rift between the eldest wife and everyone in the Pei family.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi felt much better.
The second wife and Yu Tang couldn't sit down much, so they left after talking.
Pei Tong sent the two of them out.
The second wife and Yu Tang walked unhurriedly on the Chaoshou veranda, and when Gu Xi's yard was out of sight, she whispered to Yu Tang: "I don't even know what to say. I was thinking about buying some medicinal materials earlier." It was for her postpartum body, but what happened? The medicinal materials were used ahead of time. I hope the eldest wife can listen to her son's advice."
Yu Tang's mood was a bit complicated.
She hoped that Pei Yan was right, at least no one was killed; she also hoped that Pei Yan was wrong, at least Gu Xi was not that bad.
Yu Tang sighed, and said: "I hope she will be well, and there will be another good news in a few days."
The second wife sighed and nodded.
When the imperial doctor came the next day, the second wife and Yu Tang waited behind the screen for the result.
The imperial doctor prescribed several medicines for nourishing the blood and nourishing the blood, and left.
It looks like nothing serious.
Both the second wife and Yu Tang heaved a sigh of relief.
It has been seven and a half months since the eldest lady replied.
Sure enough, as the second wife expected, the eldest wife scolded Gu Xi in the letter, and also scolded Pei Tong for being boneless, unable to stand upright, and unable to control the people in her own room.
It's all little things.
The point is that the person who delivered the letter told Pei Tong that the eldest wife wanted to bring the second young master to take this opportunity to visit Gu Xi and take care of Gu Xi's body.
Pei Tong couldn't help but hesitate.
Gu Xi immediately said: "Sister-in-law, mother-in-law wants to come to the capital and go back to her mother's house to have a look. It's human affection, but the timing is not right - if her old man has a dispute with the second aunt, what will we juniors do?"
With the eldest wife's temper, maybe she would really say something to irritate the second wife.
Pei Tong said: "You can't let her old man come!"
In his opinion, it was fake that his mother came to take care of Gu Xi, and it was true that he wanted to return to the capital to visit her family.
Gu Xi decided to prevent the eldest wife from coming to the capital.
The matter of the Yang family has just been settled, and she doesn't want any troubles to arise after the eldest wife arrives.
She discussed Pei Tong: "Why don't I go back to Lin'an! Her old man lives in Lin'an alone, and her uncle is busy with homework, so it must be very lonely. I go back. I can take care of my grandmother and be filial in front of my mother." , can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.”
Pei Tong hesitated.
But then he was alone.
It's not that he can't do without Gu Xi, but it's still very different to have someone who hosts the media by his side.
Pei Tong said, "I'll think about it carefully."
Gu Xi promised, but she couldn't help but feel more and more disappointed with her husband.
Not decisive at all.
If her elder brother is here, if she agrees, she will agree, if she disagrees, she will not agree, and if her heart is moved but she cannot make up her mind, even if there is a high position waiting for her, such a person may not be able to sit well and not last long.
Gu Xi suddenly felt that she had no hope for her future life.
Then she waited for a few days, but Pei Tong didn't make a decision. Instead, she got up to write and read every morning as before. After lunch, she either went to Yin's house or went to Gu's house to study with Yin Mingyuan and Gu Chang.
It seems that there is no such thing as the eldest wife.
Gu Xi was a little anxious, thought about it, and went to the second wife to talk about it.
The second wife was not surprised when she heard this, but said with a wry smile: "Your second uncle also told me about this matter, and we were also afraid that she would get involved in the Yang family's affairs. I heard that the one who married into the Peng family during this period My daughter is very close to the eldest and youngest mistress of the Yang family. I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."
Gu Xi told the second wife that she wanted to return to Lin'an, and said: "In this way, all problems will be solved!"
This is tantamount to drawing a salary from the bottom of the pot, so that the eldest wife has no excuse to come to the capital.
The second wife was very moved when she heard that, she took Gu Xi's hand and said, "I know you are a good boy. But you can't do this—you and the eldest son have just got married and have not yet given birth to the eldest son. Go back to Lin'an! You can stay here in peace, your second uncle and your third uncle will support you when the sky falls! You don't have to worry, take good care of your body and give birth to a big fat boy."
This is what he said for her good.
Gu Xi's tears were about to fall.
The second wife urged her to go back first: "Your third aunt and I have taken your wish. You don't have to worry about this matter, just live with the eldest young master. It doesn't matter even if the eldest wife comes over, the Yang family is still here." If you want to continue to rely on our Pei family, you have to weigh things carefully."
But the Yang family is still holding onto the Pei family!
Gu Xi swallowed the words again.
Since she can think of it, the elders of the Pei family should also be able to think of it.
During this period of time, Gu Tong took care of her as a patient, and the two had indeed not been intimate for a long time.
Or, as the second wife said, the husband will make plans after giving birth to the eldest son
Gu Xi thought about it and returned to her residence.
Pei Tong, who was still practicing calligraphy in the study just now, disappeared.
She asked the boy serving in the study: "Where is the young master?"
The little servant hurriedly said: "The uncle of the Yang family is here, and the young master is drinking tea with the uncle of the Yang family in the flower hall!"
Gu Xi didn't trust the members of the Yang family, and felt that if nothing happened, Mr. Yang would not come to see Pei Tong.
She thought for a while, and sent He Xiang to the flower hall to eavesdrop, and went back to the house to remove the hairpins, freshen up, and change into a hang silk beanie that she wears every day. Young mistress, it’s not good, the uncle and the old master are scolding the young master in the flower hall! He said that the young master is unfilial, and that after the old master went, he couldn’t support the family. Go to Beijing, and force the young master to write a letter to Lao An, so that the Pei family agrees that the old lady will bring the second young master to the capital to visit you."
The Yang family is too lenient!
Gu Xi hated the Yang family very much at this moment.
No wonder the Pei family doesn't like the Yang family anymore.
People like them can pick things out even if they have nothing to do.
Gu Xi hurriedly got up and said, "Come on, let's go and have a look."
He Xiang responded, and hurriedly led the way, and told Gu Xi on the way: "The young master is not very willing, and the old master of the Yang family said that the young master has forgotten his roots and recognized a thief as his father, and even scolded the third master, which is really ugly. I was afraid that people at home would find out, so I hurried to report to you."
Although the members of the Pei family live in their own courtyards and usually do not eat together, most of the ordinary servants served by the Pei family are brought from Lin'an. They are all knowledgeable servants, and some of them have done rough work in Mrs. Pei's or Mrs. Pei's old man's house. If something happened to Gu Xi, it is impossible to completely avoid these servants of the Pei family of.
Gu Xi was very anxious, fearing that Pei Tong said something that should not be said in front of the elders of the Yang family, which would reach Pei Yan's ears, cause the Pei family's dissatisfaction, and affect Pei Tong's status in front of the elders of the Pei family.
Last time, if it wasn't for her, Pei Tong would definitely have chosen the Yang family.
Now, since they have chosen the Pei family, there is only one way to go, whether they are dead or alive, and they should break up with the Yang family.
She arrived at the flower hall panting, only to find that the elder of the Yang family and Pei Tong were gone.
Inexplicably, Gu Xi shuddered, and asked the maid who was clearing away the teacup and fruit plate in the flower hall: "Where did the young master go?"
The servant girl hurriedly stopped her work and said, "The eldest young master and the uncle of the Yang family have gone out."
"Do you know what they went out to do?" Gu Xi asked in panic, only after asking did she realize that she had asked the wrong person.
How could a maid doing rough work in the flower hall know where Pei Tong went.
As expected by Gu Xi, the little girl said, "I don't know where the eldest son has gone? But the eldest son is mostly with the uncle of the Yang family. I heard what the uncle of the Yang family said. If the eldest son doesn't believe it, he will Follow him, and he showed the evidence to the eldest son. The eldest son seemed very excited, his eyes were red. The servant did not dare to continue listening."
What evidence? Why should the evidence be shown to Pei Tong? Why didn't Pei Tong push this matter to the elders in the family and follow Mr. Yang
Gu Xi shuddered as she thought about it.
The so-called evidence of the Yang family is not the Pei family's handle as mentioned earlier, right
But what does this have to do with Pei Tong
What has it to do with them
What was Pei Tong thinking
