As he spoke, he kept giving Yang's mother a look.

He paused and continued: "It's not that I dislike Mother Yang's bad ability, she has taken good care of you all these years, and I see it in my eyes." However, as soon as you come to Xisongyuan, a few women are stubborn and noisy, and they are not good at making noise. ”

Mother Yang has been by the old man's side for many years, although the young lady is pregnant, she is reluctant to leave the old man in her heart, so she echoed Pei Tingyuan's words and said: "Old man, don't worry, the young master and the young lady, I think the arrangement is very proper." If you are still not at ease, I will go to see it every once in a while, if I really move to Xisongyuan, I will worry about your health. ”

These words made Old Man Pei's heart very warm, thinking about it, his decision was still a little hasty, and he nodded: "Okay, just do what you say." Xihe, remember, you must protect the child in your belly, if it is a boy, I will reward you with an extra amount of money. ”

"......" Qiao Xihe felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it on the surface, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of myself and my children." ”

"Well, let's go back and rest early. Old Man Pei waved his hand and drove them away.

Pei Tingyuan helped Qiao Xihe get into the car, and after leaving the Pei family's old house, he spoke: "Grandpa is old, and sometimes he doesn't have enough to consider, so don't take it to heart, we are all adults and can take care of ourselves, but the baby in the belly is different, and we adults need to pay attention and take care of it, so he said a few more words...... Also, I like it whether our baby is a boy or a girl, so where can a girl be worse than a boy?"

When Qiao Xihe heard this, her heart was warm, thinking back to the old man's request that she take care of the unborn child, and didn't care about her emotions and body at all, in fact, she wouldn't take these to heart at all, after all, her life and body are her own.

She took Pei Tingyuan's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "I understand, don't worry." ”

The next day, after Pei Tingyuan went to work, Qiao Xihe took advantage of the good sun to go to the garden to bask in the sun for a while, and was about to go back to the house, when he saw a car coming slowly from a distance.

The model and license plate number looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while, and she remembered it until she knew that a noble lady had got out of the car.

This Pei Huiping is uncomfortable if she doesn't do something every day, right?

Qiao Xihe held back his impatience, stood at the door with a decent smile on his face, and watched Pei Huiping and Jiang Jiaying come over.

"Sister-in-law, cousin. She greeted.

Pei Huiping looked at Qiao Xihe contemptuously, stayed on her stomach for a few more seconds, and then said: "You are pregnant, as Pei Tingyuan's sister-in-law, I should come and take a look, well, this is a gift for you, congratulations." ”

Qiao Xihe felt strange, yesterday she suspected that her child was not Pei Tingyuan, but today she actually came to congratulate her? Did Old Man Pei order something, or did she suddenly change her character?

She thought about it and didn't believe it, not to mention the sentence "I am Pei Tingyuan's sister-in-law", not "this child's aunt and grandmother" or something, and there are examples in the past that clearly indicate that Pei Huiping is here to do something, so she raised 120,000 points of vigilance, "Thank you, sister-in-law, it's cold outside, can you sit in the house?"

"Hmm. Pei Huiping was like the mistress of this family, grabbed her daughter's hand, walked into the villa proudly, sat down on the largest sofa, and instructed the maid to bring tea and pastries.

A few people in the family looked at each other and knew that Mrs. Jiang had come to cause trouble again.

After the tea and pastries were served, Pei Huiping took a sip slowly, then looked directly at Qiao Xihe seriously, and said: "Our Pei family is a big family, whether it is in this province or in our hometown, it is famous, if it is placed in ancient times...... Just like Ning Rongguo's Mansion in "Dream of Red Mansions", the officials have to give three points of politeness when they see us, not to mention how many people are staring at us......"

As soon as these words came out, there was an awkward silence in the living room.

Who has read the book does not know what the ending of "Dream of Red Mansions" is? How can Pei Huiping make such a metaphor?

Jiang Jiaying secretly tugged at her mother's sleeve, laughed dryly, and said, "Mom, why are you mentioning this? Aren't we here to congratulate my cousin-in-law on her pregnancy today? I heard that the housekeeper over there in the old house has notified the relatives, and everyone is very happy......

Pei Huiping shook off her daughter's hand and glared at Qiao Xihe with a smile, "What I mean by this, is to let you understand that our Pei family is a big family with a head and a face, and it can't withstand any blows and twists and turns, especially when the old man is old, many things must be done carefully, and nothing can go wrong......"

Her eyes fell on Qiao Xihe's stomach again, giving her a sense of foreboding, but she still sat upright, looking back at Pei Huiping without fear.

"Old man, it's inconvenient to say some things bluntly in front of the juniors," Pei Huiping continued: "So, I'm a ...... daughter" She shook her head and sighed, looking helpless to be persecuted, "I have to say it on his behalf." ”

Jiang Jiaying couldn't do it, grabbed her arm, and said, "Mom, have you forgotten? You made an appointment to play mahjong today, and we sent all the gifts, so it's time to leave." Didn't your grandfather just ask you to come and visit your cousin and send you something?

Pei Huiping once again unceremoniously shook off her daughter's hand, glared at her angrily, and scolded "waste" silently.

Jiang Jiaying looked at Qiao Xihe helplessly, expressing her helplessness.

Qiao Xihe said indifferently: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Huh. Pei Huiping's red lips hooked up a weird smile, and said: "You have lived outside for several months, and many people know that you are pregnant when you come back, so it is inevitable that people will be suspicious." There are so many women in the family, they love to nag this kind of thing the most, in case they hear about it, spread false rumors, and finally make up some ugly words, how can it be good?"

"So what?" Qiao Xihe picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot water, and asked unhurriedly.

Pei Huiping said: "People like us, we have to take precautions, before the rumors come out, you have to come up with favorable evidence to block the mouths of those three aunts and six women." ”

Qiao Xihe frowned, "What do you mean, you want me to do a paternity test?"
