Chapter 357: Intent

This kind of denial of Gu Xi's ability made her tremble with anger.

What is the old lady of the Yang family?

If it was in the past, before she didn't participate in the Jiang family's wedding banquet, she was afraid that the Yang family was Pei Tong's foreign family, and Boss Yang was Guozilin's sacrificial wine, for Pei Tong's future, she would have endured this breath no matter what. But now, she can clearly feel that although the Yang family has a good career in both father and son, they are just short-lived upstarts in the family of officials like Renzhang and Li.

The current Yang family is not qualified to compete with families like Zhang and Li, let alone call for it.

She has nothing to fear.

Gu Xi's face suddenly turned cold, and he stood up and was about to leave: "Since that's the case, then let's leave!" ”

The ladies of the Yang family were all stunned, but Mrs. Yang reacted quickly, hurriedly grabbed Gu Xi's arm, and suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "You kid, what's wrong with what the elders said to you?" Wouldn't it be that the Yang family is inferior to the Pei family, so they think what our old lady said is too harsh? But what the old lady said isn't too wrong, right? The two wives of the Pei family are not authentic, why don't they come to visit by themselves and want you to be guests? Do you know what our Yang family invited them for? What is the status of those escorts? What the old lady said you are ignorant, are you still not convinced? ”

Gu Xi has always been arrogant, after going to the Jiang family's wedding banquet, she found that even if the Jiang family looked down on the Pei family, they didn't dare to put it on the surface, and the Zhang and Li families valued her very much for the sake of being the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Pei family, not to mention that she also had a sister-in-law from the Yin family, she felt that she was inferior to Yu Tang in nothing except for her seniority.

Mrs. Yang's words just hit her unhappiness during this time.

She immediately became vigilant and sneered: "Auntie's words are wrong. The second and third aunts have already said that they can't come because of something, but you have to set up a banquet to entertain them, and they have no choice, so they sent me over. I thought, although the Fei family is powerful, the Yang family is my foreign family after all, so why should I stand on the side of the Yang family. I never thought that in the eyes of my aunt, I was wrong. Am I not a person on both sides? In that case, what am I still doing here? There's a lot of stuff at home waiting for me to go back! ”

In this way, the two concubines of the Pei family really went to the Fei family!

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang exchanged a look, and Mrs. Yang immediately smiled: "I know that you are filial, obedient and sensible, isn't your grandmother angry that your two wives are too faceless?" ”

When Gu Xi was at her mother's house, she didn't know how many such occasions she encountered, she took the opportunity to make trouble, showing a heartbroken look, and said: "With the people you don't say you can't come, catch me, a person who comes to the door with good intentions, and stab me with a knife." Can I feel better? ”

The daughter-in-law of the eldest sister-in-law is not a good match.

Mrs. Yang was disgusted in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said: "You are also from the Yang family, now that something like this has happened, what's the use of losing your temper?" Why don't you sit down and discuss what to do? ”

Second Mrs. Yang, who hadn't squeaked much, saw it, and suddenly interjected: "What can I do?" Tell those people not to come! She can't be the master of the house, so it's useless for us to tell her! ”

Mrs. Yang seemed to be choked.

Gu Xi almost jumped up.

What do you mean?

Look down on her?

There are some things in the Pei family that she really can't be the master of, but it's not the turn of the Yang family to talk about it here.

Gu Xi glanced at Second Mrs. Yang with a smile and said, "I'll just say, I'm useless here." It's not interesting for my aunt to pull me like this! ”

Mrs. Yang glared at Mrs. Yang, and did not let go of the hand that was holding Gu Xi's arm.

Mrs. Yang turned her face away, looking like "I didn't do anything wrong, I won't apologize".

Mrs. Yang looked like she had a headache.

Gu Xi was a little unsure whether the Yang family really encountered something and asked the Pei family, or if the two were playing, so he heard Old Madam Yang "snap" on the table and shouted: "Okay! Don't talk about it. I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to call the shots in this family! ”

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang both lowered their heads, and Mrs. Yang even let go of the hand holding Gu Xi.

Only then did Gu Xi realize that Mrs. Yang was clutching very hard, and her arm began to hurt a little.

She rubbed where she had been caught.

Old Madam Yang's face was tired, as if her spirit just now had been stripped off all of a sudden.

"Ah Tong's daughter-in-law, sit down and talk." She said, "The eldest daughter-in-law stays, and the second daughter-in-law goes outside to guard." I have something to say. ”

Gu Xi was surprised.

The two wives of the Yang family agreed in unison, Mrs. Yang refilled the tea for Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang retreated with the maid in the house.

Old Madam Yang took a sip of tea, and when she saw Gu Xi sitting under her, she said, "Since your words have been said at this time, I won't hide it from you." We took such great pains to invite the two wives of the Pei family to come over, and we really asked the Pei family for a request. However, when it comes to saying 'there is a request', it is to give the Pei family face, and the Pei family can not agree, but what are the consequences of not agreeing, then the Pei family will have to weigh it themselves. ”

Gu Xi was shocked.

It's not a begging tone, it's a bit like ...... Threat.

Could it be that the Yang family caught the Pei family's tricks?

Gu Xi is also a person who loses but does not lose battles, and when he hears the words, his face is not obvious, but his ears have long been propped up.

When Mrs. Yang saw her like this, she knew that this was not without ideas.

She exchanged another look with Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang bowed slightly towards her mother-in-law.

If it weren't for the power, her sister-in-law wouldn't have married her as the eldest daughter-in-law.

At this point, Mrs. Yang can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. She said: "After you go back, tell your third aunt that our family wants to be close to the Pei family, and then book a family affair." If she thinks that the old An people of the Pei family are unwilling, it is better to shirk it, you let her ask your third uncle. Others don't know, but our family knows, who gave the 200,000 taels of silver that the third prince moved back from Jiangnan back then? ”

Gu Xi is not an ignorant woman or child, not to mention that Gu Chang is afraid that she will suffer a loss because Gu Xi has no older women to teach, and sometimes he will compare some things in the court to her.

She knew about the lecture on last year's Buddha Bathing Festival and the 200,000 taels of silver.

The Yang family's words are alluding to the fact that the two hundred thousand taels of silver of the three princes were given by the Pei family?

Gu Xi suddenly became a little flustered.

200,000 taels of silver is a trivial matter, and if you go deeper, it can be inferred that it was blackmailed by the third prince, but the problem is that these 200,000 taels of silver also involved the assassination of the second prince that year.

The emperor has never established a prince, and it stands to reason that he is either a grandson or a long. There shouldn't be anything to do with the three princes. But the emperor has always liked the three princes, and because of the three princes, he didn't let the second prince go to Tibet. There were rumors that the reason why the previous first assistant was appointed was related to opposing the emperor's abolition of the elder and the younger.

If the Pei family is involved in this kind of turmoil, no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless!

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.

"What do you mean by that?" Gu Xi's voice was a little sharp, "Some things can be done indiscriminately, but some things can't be said indiscriminately." The Yang family and the Pei family are in-laws! ”

Old Madam Yang was very satisfied with Gu Xi's reaction, and said coldly: "I'm so old, will I still coax you to have a child!" We want to treat the Pei family as in-laws, so we also have to treat the Pei family as in-laws. Otherwise, why should we advance and retreat with the Pei family, and share joys and sorrows. Well, you can't make up your mind about these things, and it's hard for you to let you talk like this. But the two wives of the Pei family don't take our Yang family seriously, we just want to talk to the two wives of the Pei family, so we can only wronged you. ”

Gu Xi shook his head, dazed in his heart, not knowing how to get home.

But when she got home, she found that Yu Tang and his second wife were not at home.

She gasped in anger, thinking that if this was true, what would she do? I don't know if Pei You is involved? Is it too late for Changfang to draw a clear line with the Pei family at this time?

Gu Xi didn't care about changing clothes, so he got into the sedan chair again and went to Gu Chang.

Gu Chang hasn't gone down yet, and her sister-in-law Yin is not at home.

She couldn't help but ask the Gu family's grandmother: "What did my sister-in-law do?"

"It was said that Lord Qin from the Ministry of Rites was invited to his house." The grandmother smiled and said, "Mrs. and Mrs. Yin, as well as the two wives of your family, have all passed. ”

Didn't you say that Mrs. Fei was here?

Gu Xi was puzzled.

The grandmother said: "It's because Mrs. Fei is here!" Mrs. Qin washed the dust of Mrs. Fei, and the Qin family invited a few wives to accompany her. ”

Is this Yu Tang's intention to send her to the Yang family?

Are you afraid that she will be in the limelight, or are you afraid that she will make more foreign wives?

Gu Xi waited like a trapped beast for nearly an hour, and finally waited for Gu Chaoyang.

She took her brother to the study and quietly told him about it.

Gu Chaoyang couldn't hide his expression in surprise, his mind spun quickly, and he muttered to himself: "No wonder Pei Yaoguang came forward to clean up this matter?" I thought he wanted to stand up, but he didn't want others to find out that this matter was related to the Pei family? This is really something that Pei You can do......"

Hearing his brother mention his deceased father-in-law, Gu Xi's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, is this matter really related to the Pei family?" Is it related to my father-in-law? Could it be that the Yang family is lying? ”

Gu Chaoyang shook his head and muttered: "I have heard about this matter for a long time, but I haven't thought about it deeply, especially when Pei You died suddenly and the Pei family retreated to Lin'an. ”

At this point, the brother and sister couldn't help but look at each other.

Pei Yan is a scheming person, and he has won the trust of Boss Zhang, and no normal father would call such a son who may be sealed into the cabinet to return to his hometown to guard the family business.

Or, this matter has nothing to do with Pei You, but with Pei Yan?

Both of them saw in each other's eyes a look that complex words could not describe.

"I have to talk to Pei Yaoguang about this matter." Gu Chang found that he suddenly seemed to have grabbed the handle of the Pei family, felt a little dry in his throat, and said hoarsely, "If the Pei family is unlucky, our family will also be implicated." “

Gu Chang regretted very much at this time that he married his sister to the Pei family.
