Chapter 2 Leaving the House
Mrs. Pei Fu has a graceful posture, although she is middle-aged, she is very well maintained, and her every move looks graceful and luxurious, the old man sitting next to her, her temples are white, but her eyes are black and shining, and she is looking at Su Yi quietly at the moment, "He is Su Yi?" The son-in-law of General Su? ”
Mrs. Pei just replied lightly: "Yes, this person is Su Guozhong's only son." ”
She looked cold, and when she introduced Su Yi, she did not mention the identity of his Aunt Peifu. The old man nodded, and didn't ask any more, but Mrs. Pei glanced at the middle-aged woman, who walked towards Su Yi knowingly, lifted the burden in his hand and handed it to him, and said with an arrogant expression: "Master Su, there are fifty taels here, you can take it and leave quickly." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, but it didn't take long for everyone to show expressions that should have been like this a long time ago, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Mrs. Pei driving Su Yi out of Pei's mansion. The second lady and the young man in Chinese clothes, who had been silent on the side, glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.
Su Yi suddenly laughed, laughing silently, just laughing while looking coldly at the people present, his eyes looked around the crowd, and finally fixed on Mrs. Pei's face, that graceful and luxurious face was a little cramped at this moment.
"Fifty taels of silver, hehe......"
"Yes, fifty taels of silver." Mrs. Pei no longer had the crampedness just now, and said lightly: "The Pei family has provided you with food and accommodation over the years, and it is worthy of your dead father, you can take the fifty taels of silver, from today on, are you living or dying, where to go, Pei Fu will no longer ask." ”
Su Yi felt a pain in his heart, and a strong sense of humiliation welled up in his heart, perhaps it was the throbbing in the heart of the original owner of this body, presumably he had been living in Pei Mansion very humiliating all these years, until today, Pei Fu still opened his mouth and swept him out of the house.
Although Su Yi knew that this had nothing to do with him, it was just an entanglement between the original owner of this body and the Pei family, but for some reason, a burst of anger rushed up uncontrollably, he lowered his head slightly, trying to suppress the killing intent in his heart, and after a while, he looked up at Mrs. Pei, but the slightly hideous expression before had turned into calm at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Pei, your Pei family is indeed rich and powerful now, you think I am not worthy of your daughter, this is understandable, your Pei family wants to withdraw from the marriage, you can say it clearly, But there's no need to humiliate me like that. ”
A trace of contempt flashed in Mrs. Pei's eyes and said, "You think too much, there is no need for our Pei family to humiliate a person like you." "The implication is that you don't have the qualifications to humiliate the Pei family at all.
"Say what conditions you want to make." Mrs. Pei was a little impatient, and the old man next to her was watching this scene with interest, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
Su Yi replied coldly: "Put away your silver, I have been bothering your mansion before, Su apologizes deeply, you can rest assured, from now on, I, Su Yi, will never step into Pei's mansion again, as for the marriage of our two families, it will end here, I will divorce your daughter today, and let her marry in the future." ”
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Pei, who had maintained a dignified posture, was trembling with anger at the moment, and she almost gritted her teeth and shouted: "Bastard! What are you to dare to say such a thing? ”
Mrs. Pei would never have thought that this waste in front of her, who had always been submissive in Pei's Mansion and dared to bully even the maids at will, would say in front of so many people that she was going to divorce her daughter.
A woman's honor is very important, but most of the women who were divorced by their husband's family ended up miserable, either being kicked out of the house by their mother's family, or losing their hair to become a nun, or even committing suicide. Because the woman was taken home, it will not only attract a lot of gossip, but also disgrace the family.
The Pei family's status in Dachu is in full swing, and the daughter of the dignified prime minister was divorced by a poor boy, if this is spread outside, how can the face of the Pei Mansion remain?
The old man's face changed suddenly, and there was more murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Su Yi, he glanced at Mrs. Pei coldly, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "You can do it yourself." After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving Mrs. Pei, who was pale, to stay where she was.
"How?" Probably because Su Yi's words sounded too shocking to them, and the people in Pei Mansion didn't even react, Su Yi looked at Mrs. Pei who had no blood on her face, and continued: "Could it be that the Pei family only allows me to sweep me out of the house, and does not allow me to take a leave of absence from Pei's daughter?" Since you want to repent of your marriage, you can withdraw from the marriage openly, but unfortunately, in order to save your face and fear of falling into your mouth, you use all kinds of means to make me know the difficulties and retreat, so that you can not only ruin this marriage contract, but also not be afraid of falling into the tongue and being said to be disgusted with the poor and love the rich. ”
Mrs. Pei has long lost her previous graceful and luxurious temperament, she raised her eyebrows, her face was covered with a layer of frost, and she said angrily: "You have not succeeded in your studies all these years, I just think that you are unlucky, I don't want you to be so ignorant, no wonder you have always been famous in Sun Mountain, and you can't even pass the literary examination!" ”
She changed her words, looked at Su Yi coldly and said: "With the current status of my Pei family, it is not something that ordinary people can climb, all along, don't say that the Pei family has not given you a chance, but you really can't support the wall." Even if your father and master have an old relationship, I will not agree to marry my daughter to a mediocre and incompetent person, your Su family is shameless, and our Pei family still needs this face. The Pei family can take you in, it can already be called benevolent and righteous, but you are so ignorant, just with your words today, I will never let you have any foothold in Dachu. ”
Su Yi's expression became contemptuous, "Then let's wait and see, I want to see how Mrs. Pei made me have no place in Dachu." ”
Mrs. Pei was stunned, she didn't expect that the young man in front of her was not afraid of her threat at all, which was far from the Su Yi in her impression. Looking at Su Yi's cold eyes, she felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart.
"You ......"
Su Yi didn't continue to listen to her, turned around and walked directly out of the hall, and he didn't even look at the package handed over by the plain-clothed woman.
The second lady and the young man in Chinese clothes had a gloating expression, and when they saw Mrs. Pei turn their heads, the two of them hurriedly reined in, and the second lady pulled the young man in Chinese clothes forward respectfully. Su Yi took Pei Xin's leave, which is beneficial and harmless to them, anyway, this is the face of Pei Fu and the eldest lady of the Pei family, and Pei Xin is not born to her...... It's better to be divorced, so that if their Huaiyang family comes to the door to propose marriage, no one will say that they are high to climb Pei's mansion, a woman who has been divorced before she gets married, what qualifications does she have to pick and choose?
"Sister, this is my nephew ......"
Mrs. Pei slammed the tea bowl in her hand, and the tea splashed her sleeves, she didn't even look at the second lady and the young man in gorgeous clothes, Mrs. Suyi also had a gloomy face, leaned over to Mrs. Pei, and asked in a low voice, "Just let him leave Pei's mansion?" ”
"Huh?" Mrs. Pei narrowed her eyes, the murderous aura in her eyes flashed, and she shook her head and sneered: "This son has been living in Pei's mansion, if there is an accident in the mansion, I am afraid that outsiders will gossip even more, not to mention ......"
Mrs. Pei suddenly sighed, and said a little depressed: "Besides, this son is not ashamed, today's matter has been known to Chen San, if that person knows that we killed people because of this, how can I save the face of Pei's Mansion?" ”
"Madame!" The plain woman stopped talking.
"But you can't just cheap him." Mrs. Pei said coldly: "Send someone to keep an eye on him, and once he talks nonsense outside, immediately take his life." Mrs. Pei looked at the people in Pei's Mansion with different expressions in front of her, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and where her eyes swept over, everyone lowered their heads in horror, for fear of angering Mrs. Pei at this time.
"With today's events, the marriage between Xin'er and His Royal Highness King Qi will be suspended." Mrs. Pei said with a slightly gloomy face, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and she wanted to have someone immediately arrest Su Yi back and chop him into meat puree with her own hands. Today's Su Yi's words not only made the Pei family lose face, but also made the Pei family invisibly offend the Qi Palace.
Chen San, the old housekeeper of the Qi Palace, sat next to Mrs. Pei, and heard Su Yi announce the divorce of his wife, and withdrew from the marriage in public.
"What!" The second lady and the young man in Chinese clothes standing on the side had a stiff face, especially the young man in Chinese clothes, his eyes had long since lost their light at this moment, and he muttered like a walking corpse: "Miss Pei and His Royal Highness King Qi already have a marriage contract?" ”
"Yes, the person who just talked to his wife in the hall is Steward Chen of the Qi Palace." The plain-clothed woman glanced at the young man in gorgeous clothes lightly, turned around, and asked Mrs. Pei in a low voice: "Do you want me to prepare a generous gift and send it to the Qi King's Mansion in person, so as to probe the tone of the King of Qi." ”
Mrs. Pei put her hand on her forehead and said a little dejectedly: "Go ahead." Then she waved her hand, and everyone in Pei Mansion hurriedly scattered, leaving only a young man in Chinese clothes with a dull expression and a second lady with a gloomy face sitting aside.
