Chapter 706 Chapter 706
When Xiao Yinxiu heard Pei Chen say that the Princess of Ming County was going back to Beijing, she was slightly surprised and asked a few more questions, "Besides the Prince and Princess, are there any other girls in the mansion coming back with them?"
Pei Chen shook his head.
"I heard that my brother is not coming back. The journey is long and he is not in good health. He can't stand such a long journey. As for the sisters, I am afraid I will have to bring the older ones back."
If I could see His Majesty, who is so gracious in grace, it would be better than staying in southern Yunnan.
Xiao Yinxiu added, "That's fine. My elder sister hasn't been home for many years. When she comes to Beijing this time, we must treat her well."
At this point, she looked at her husband cautiously, "If my elder sister asks about mother, how should I answer?"
Pei Chen hated this the most. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Answer truthfully."
"I'm afraid it won't work!"
Xiao Yinxiu became anxious, "My aunt and my elder sister have a deep mother-daughter relationship. As a daughter, how can I not feel distressed when I heard that my mother was imprisoned in the small Buddhist temple? My son, even if my mother was wrong, she has been punished now. How about--?"
Pei Chen looked back, "What? Do you think this house isn't messy enough?"
Xiao Yinxiu was frightened by Pei Chen's cold eyes and took a step back. With a look of disbelief on her face, she whispered, "Sir, no matter if your aunt is not a real person, she is still your mother."
uh-huh?
Pei Chen sneered, "Don't tell me that. When she did those things, she didn't even consider that I was her son. She's old, and she's using old things to hurt so many people. You know how many people she has hurt!"
Xiao Yinxiu thought to herself, it was really disheartening to see her adopted son behave like this.
Pei Chen looked at her displeased face and said bluntly, "Since my elder sister is back, you should be more restrained. You should use your brain to know what to say and what not to say about the affairs of the mansion."
Xiao Yinxiu felt wronged after hearing this. With a sallow face that could not be suppressed even by lead powder, she questioned Pei Chen, "My eldest sister is the princess of Ming County. What is going on in this mansion that she doesn't know? Is it you and the fourth brother who ignored our mother's safety, or is it that the mansion is about to be messed up by a vixen? - I can't tell you!"
When Pei Chen heard this, he became so angry that he almost burst into tears.
He pointed at Xiao Yinxiu and sneered, "Then go ahead and say it. Also, Guan Zhou is not a foxy woman. No woman in this mansion is a foxy woman, including you, Xiao Yinxiu. As the wife of the prince and a lady from the Xiao family, you should be more kind-hearted."
Xiao Yinxiu was about to speak, Shuangyue quickly walked to the side and gently supported Xiao Yinxiu's wrist.
"Madam, the eldest young lady's wife said she liked the patterns you painted, and sent a servant to ask for a few, the one with autumn osmanthus..."
Pei Chen looked at Shuang Yue who lowered her eyebrows and snorted, "Even a maid has better judgment than you."
After saying this, he left Xiao Yinxiu alone and went out to look for Gao.
Inside the house, Xiao Yinxiu saw Pei Chen walk away in a huff, and turned around to slap Shuangyue a few times, "You bastard girl, I'm talking to your master, why are you coming up to me and saying anything!"
Shuangyue was beaten until her face turned red and her eyes were filled with tears.
She felt very aggrieved, covering her beaten face, and wept softly, "Madam, you can't talk like this anymore. The prince has long been impatient. I saw that the prince was about to get angry again, so I came to stop him."
snort!
Xiao Yinxiu sat on the couch angrily, and after a while she calmed down. She called Shuangyue over and told her, "Only you and Aunt Chu know about the eldest sister's return. Don't let it slip in front of outsiders."
Shimotsuki nodded repeatedly.
He replied carefully, "Madam, don't worry. The Princess returned to attend the funeral of Prince An. It has nothing to do with our family."
Xiao Yinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the tear marks on Shuangyue's face, she pulled Shuangyue to comfort her, took off her earrings herself and gave them to Shuangyue.
"Here, I'll find you a good family someday. Don't blame me for my temper. There really is no place for me in this mansion."
Shuangyue didn't dare to question it. She took the earrings with both hands, and was so grateful that she wanted to kneel down.
Xiao Yinxiu stopped her, "Forget it, we are a master and servant, and I believe everything will be fine. Tell Aunt Chu not to be so depressed. If she wants to remarry, I will help her."
Frosty moons are a good omen.
I dare not say a word more.
When Qi Yueniang and Zhang Fanghui heard that Princess Ming was coming back to attend the funeral, they could not help but come to Shaohua Garden to find Song Guanzhou and talk about it.
Song Guanzhou was working, but when he heard the two people coming together, he had no choice but to put down what he was doing and go out to greet them.
"Fourth cousin, when will the baby come out?"
Zhang Fanghui smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will be Dongyue."
"That will be soon, about half a month or so." Song Guanzhou stepped forward and helped her to sit down, and asked the maid to bring a soft pillow to lean on her waist and back.
"rest assured!"
Zhang Fanghui looked at Song Guanzhou's thorough care and laughed, "Don't be so squeamish. This isn't my first child, so I shouldn't be able to bear the pain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Guanzhou shuddered.
Xu Lingqiao and Qi Yueniang laughed at the sight, especially Qi Yueniang, "Why are you shaking all of a sudden? Are you scared?"
Song Guanzhou held his forehead with his hand, a look of rejection on his face.
"Fortunately, I am not in good health and cannot give birth. Otherwise, when the day comes, I am afraid I will not be able to bear the pain at all."
In modern society, Song Guanzhou has watched too many popular science videos and thought carefully about infertility.
Up to this time, I have never been pregnant because of my poor health.
Otherwise, with how sweet and sticky they were as a couple, they would have been pregnant a long time ago. She was scared at the thought of the pain that would come from having a baby, as if all her bones would be torn apart.
Zhang Fanghui held her hand and whispered, "As a woman, you have to go through this. It's not easy to go through the gates of hell, but when it really comes, you have to go through it. During the confinement period, you were scared and swore that you would never give birth again. After the confinement period, you forgot everything."
Qi Yueniang nodded repeatedly at this.
"Now that Qin'er is older, I have forgotten the pain of giving birth. It's a pity that your eldest brother passed away early, otherwise I would have thought of giving Qin'er a sibling so that he wouldn't be alone and helpless if he encountered problems in the future."
Xu Lingqiao personally poured hot tea for Qi Yueniang, "Sister-in-law, Qin Ge'er is so good and talented, he must be worth ten."
Zhang Fanghui also nodded in agreement, "Don't feel sorry, cousin. Some families don't know how to raise children. They give birth to a bunch of children, but in the end they are ordinary and can't even support the family. Qin Ge'er is young, but he has achieved a lot. This is also your blessing."
The four of them laughed and finally mentioned Pei Qiuyun.
Song Guanzhou ate half a bite of dessert and gossiped a little, "Sister-in-law, are the girls in the prince's family also old enough to discuss marriage?"
Qi Yueniang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten about it. I'm afraid the Princess of the County also had this in mind when she came to the capital."
