The second wife helped Gu Xi tuck the quilt distressedly, and said softly: "How can this be said to be troublesome?" Men don't do things outside to make life better for the people in the family. If he didn't help with this, how could he have the face to say that he was your elder. You have a good rest, don't worry about other things, there is me, your third uncle, and your second and third uncles! ”

Gu Xi lost his mother since he was a child, and he grew up wearing armor in front of his stepmother, even if he had occasional warmth, it was also a pretense that he was calculating with each other, how could there be such a time when he was cared for and loved by his elders.

Her eyes were slightly moist, and she didn't know what to say.

Pei Tong saw it and hurriedly thanked his wife.

The second wife sighed and said to Pei Tong: "Elder, you don't have to worry, I will ask your second uncle and father to write a letter to Lao Anren." But with your mother, I'm afraid you'll have to explain it yourself. Speaking of which, I am also at fault in this matter, knowing that you have just gotten married, and there are no elders staring at you, your second uncle has specially told me, but the eldest young grandmother is still ...... If your mother asks, you say it's my fault. It's me who didn't help her take care of people. Your daughter-in-law is also uncomfortable, there are some things, you have to be considerate! ”

The implication is that don't let the eldest lady spill her anger on Gu Xi's body.

Pei Tong blamed Gu Xi a little in her heart, thinking that in order to hold herself hostage, she would report the good news to her elders in advance before the child was less than three months old, and if she reported the good news and didn't pay attention, she would have a miscarriage.

But the second wife's words have come to this point, and no matter how much he dislikes, he can only suppress it in his heart.

What's more, what the second wife said also makes sense.

He's a man, and he should be more generous.

"I know what to say." Pei Tong assured the second wife, "I won't embarrass Ah Xi." ”

The second lady nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Xi turned his face away and blinked his eyes hard, not wanting tears to fall.

Pei Tong was the best man she could catch at that time, she made up her mind to marry, 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 she would definitely live a good life with Pei Tong in the future, and try her best to make up for the rift between the eldest lady and the Pei family.

Thinking about it like this, Gu Xi felt much better.

The second wife and Yu Tang didn't sit much, so they said goodbye after talking.

Pei Tong sent the two out.

The second wife and Yu Tang walked unhurriedly on the verandah, and when Gu Xi's courtyard was out of sight, she whispered to Yu Tang: "I don't know what to say." I thought about buying some medicinal herbs for her to replenish her body after giving birth, but what happened? The medicinal herbs were actually used in advance. I hope the eldest lady can listen to her son's advice. ”

Yu Tang's mood was a little complicated.

She hoped that Pei Yan was right, at least she didn't cause any trouble; She also hoped that Pei Yan was wrong, at least Gu Xi was not bad to that extent.

Yu Tang sighed and said, "I hope she can be well, and there will be good news in a few days." ”

The second lady sighed and nodded.

When the imperial doctor came over the next day, the second wife and Yu Tang waited for the results behind the screen.

The imperial doctor prescribed a few pairs of medicines to nourish blood and left.

Looks like it's not a big deal.

The second wife and Yu Tang both breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time the eldest lady replied, it had already been half a month and a half.

Sure enough, as expected by the second wife, the eldest lady scolded Gu Xi in the letter, and scolded Pei Tong for having no bones and not being able to stand, and she couldn't even control the people in her house.

It's all trifles.

The key is that the person who came to deliver the letter told Pei Tong that the eldest lady wanted to take the second young master to take this opportunity to visit Gu Xi and take care of Gu Xi's body and bones.

Pei Tong couldn't help but hesitate.

Gu Xi immediately said: "Xianggong, my mother-in-law wants to come to the capital, and she wants to go back to her parents' house to see it, but this time is not right - if her old man has a dispute with her second uncle and mother, what should we do as juniors?" ”

With the temper of the eldest wife, maybe she will really say something to stimulate the second wife.

Pei Tong said: "It's not okay if you don'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 and visit his mother's family.

Gu Xi decided to prevent the eldest lady from coming to the capital.

The Yang family's matter has just been resolved, and she doesn't want the eldest lady to have any more complications after she comes.

She discussed Pei Tong: "Or, I'll go back to Lin'an!" She lives alone in Lin'an, and her brother-in-law is busy with homework, so she must be very lonely, and I go back, not only to take care of my grandmother, but also to do my filial piety in front of my mother, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Pei Tong hesitated.

But then, he's alone.

It's not that he can't do without Gu Xi much, but it's still very different to have someone in charge of the feed by his side at home.

Pei Tong said: "I'll think about it carefully. ”

Gu Xi promised in her mouth, but she couldn't help but become more and more disappointed in her husband in her heart.

Not decisive at all.

If her brother is here, if she agrees, she will agree, and if she doesn't agree, she won't agree, and she can't make up her mind, such a person, even if there is a high position waiting for him, I'm afraid that he won't be able to sit well, and he won't sit for long.

Gu Xi suddenly felt that he had no hope for his future life.

Then she waited for a few days, Pei Tong didn't make a decision, but still got up every morning to write and read as before, and had lunch or went to Yin's house or Gu's house to study with Yin Mingyuan and Gu Chang.

It's as if there's no such thing as a big 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 are afraid that she will get involved in the affairs of the Yang family." I heard that the daughter who married into the Peng family during this time was very close to the young grandmother of the Yang family. In my heart, I am always a little unsure. ”

Gu Xi told the second wife that he wanted to return to Lin'an, and said, "In this way, all problems are solved!" ”

This is tantamount to a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, so that the eldest lady has no excuse to come to the capital.

The second wife was very moved when she heard this, took Gu Xi's hand, and said, "I know you are a good boy." It can't be like this - you and the eldest prince have just gotten married, and they haven't given birth to their eldest son yet, how can you let you go back to Lin'an at this time! You can live in peace, the sky is falling, and your second uncle and your third uncle are on top! You don't have to worry, take care of your body and bones, and it's a big fat boy to be a big boy. “

This is what is good for her.

Gu Xi's tears were about to fall.

The second wife urged her to go back first: "I and your third uncle and mother have received your wishes." You don't have to worry about this matter, just live with the eldest young master. Even if the eldest lady comes over, it doesn't matter, the Yang family will continue to rely on our Pei family, and they have to weigh and weigh things. ”

But the Yang family is still holding the handle of the Pei family!

Gu Xi's words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

Since she can think of it, the elders of the Pei family should also be able to think of it.

During this 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, Mr. will make plans for the eldest son?

Gu Xi thought about it and returned to his residence.

Pei Tong, who was still practicing calligraphy in the study just now, disappeared.

She asked the servant in the study, "Where is the eldest young master?" ”

The little guy hurriedly said: "The uncle of the Yang family is here, and the eldest young master accompanies the uncle of the Yang family to drink tea in the flower hall!" ”

Gu Xi didn't believe the people of the Yang family, and felt that if it was okay, Master Yang would not come to see Pei Tong.

She thought about it, sent Hexiang to the flower hall to eavesdrop, and she went back to the house to unload the hairpin ring, refreshed, and changed into a daily Hangzhou silk jacket, Hexiang ran back with a somewhat panicked look: "Grandma, it's not good, the uncle is scolding the eldest young master in the flower hall!" said that the eldest young master was not filial, and after the eldest master went, he failed to support the court, and let the elders of the Pei family suppress the eldest wife, not let the eldest lady enter Beijing, and forced the eldest young master to write a letter to Lao Anren, so that the Pei family agreed that the eldest lady would take the second young master to visit you in the capital. ”

The Yang family is also too lenient!

Gu Xi was extremely disgusted with the Yang family at this moment.

No wonder the people of the Pei family don't like the people of the Yang family.

Like them, they can find fault if they have nothing to do.

Gu Xi hurriedly got up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

He Xiang responded, and was busy leading the way in front, and told Gu Xi on the way: "The eldest young master is not very willing, and the eldest master of the Yang family said that the eldest young master forgot his roots and recognized the thief as his father, and also scolded the third master, which was very ugly." I'm afraid that the people at home will find out, so I'll come and report to you. ”

Although the people of the Pei family live in their own courtyards and usually do not eat together, most of the ordinary people served by the Pei family were brought from Lin'an. They are all knowledgeable servants, and some of them have even done rough work in Old Lady Pei or Old Man Pei'an's house, what happened to Gu Xi's side, it is impossible to completely avoid these servants of the Pei family.

Gu Xi was very anxious in his heart, afraid that what Pei Tong said in front of the eldest master of the Yang family that he shouldn't say would reach Pei Yan's ears, causing dissatisfaction in the Pei family and affecting Pei Tong's status in front of the Pei family.

Last time, if it weren't for her, Pei Tong would definitely have chosen the Yang family.

Now, since they have chosen the Pei family, whether they live or die can only go one way to the dark, and they should be cut off from the Yang family.

She gasped and went to the flower hall, only to find that the eldest master of the Yang family and Pei Tong were gone.

Gu Xi felt a chill down his spine inexplicably, and asked the maid who was cleaning up the tea cup and fruit plate in the flower hall: "Where did the eldest young master go?" ”

The maid hurriedly stopped what she was doing and said, "The eldest young master and the eldest uncle of the Yang family have gone out." ”

"Do you know what they're going out for?" Gu Xi asked in a panic, and only after asking did he know that he had asked the wrong person.

A maid who does rough work in the flower hall, how can she know where Pei Tong went.

As Gu Xi expected, this little maid said, "The slave doesn't know where the eldest prince has gone?" But the eldest prince is mostly with the uncle of the Yang family. I heard Uncle Yang say that if the eldest prince doesn't believe it, follow him, and he will show the evidence to the eldest prince. The eldest prince seemed to be very excited, and his eyes were red. The slave didn't dare to listen any further. “

What evidence? Why did you show the evidence to Pei Tong? Why didn't Pei Tong push this matter onto the elders in the family and follow Master Yang?

Gu Xi thought and shuddered.

The so-called evidence of the Yang family's eldest master will not be the handle of the Pei family mentioned before, right?

But what does this have to do with Pei Tong?

What does it have to do with them?

What did Pei Tong think in his heart?
