Chapter 436 Good Temper

"What do I want? I just feel that my days are numbered and I want to see my children and grandchildren more, but your wife just loves to be disobedient and unfilial."

Madam Pei wore a headband and looked extremely weak.

Er Ya said, "You don't want to see your children and grandchildren, you want to be your children and grandchildren, and then you'll be happy when everyone is separated from their wives and children."

"You... how could my son be so unlucky? My Pei family has been cursed for eight lifetimes to marry a woman like you."

Madam Pei began to sob.

"Is your surname Pei?" Er Ya asked with a sneer.

"Didn't you take the initiative to like me in the first place? I just don't understand, you're a woman too, why do you have to make things difficult for other women? Do you feel better if you make things difficult for others?"

Madam Pei stopped pretending and gritted her teeth, "To be honest, I initially took a liking to you because of your poise and generosity. I never expected that you would have no sense of distance between yourself and men. My son has been bewitched by you. It's one thing for you to be out in public and do business, but you've only had one child. Why are you so jealous? None of your sisters-in-law are like you. No other wife is like you."

Madam Pei felt that Er Ya was too arrogant, and that she, as the mother-in-law, had to be mindful of her daughter-in-law's feelings.

Er Ya raised her voice, "You've finally told the truth. But it doesn't matter. You don't like me, but your son does. If you're so capable, make him divorce me or take a concubine. If you're not, then just keep quiet! Just don't make yourself sick from anger."

The servants in the courtyard, as well as the two sisters-in-law, were all dumbfounded.

Er Ya looked indifferent; she had already toned it down enough, and there were even harsher things to come.

"You, you're going to drive me crazy! Pei Zhixuan, are you even going to take care of me? I've raised four sons, and you're the only one who's unfilial!"

Madam Pei was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She had lived a respectable life and had never suffered such humiliation before.

Pei Zhixuan frowned deeply. "She's a princess, she's the ruler and I'm the subject. How am I supposed to manage her? Mother, are you getting senile?"

Although his mother had some complaints about Er Ya before, she had never been this confused.

What's wrong with people now? Is it true that they've gotten old and their minds are no longer clear?

"What's wrong with the princess? She's a woman too. Isn't she the result of your spoiling? I told you before that she was too wild and needed to be disciplined and taught a lesson. But you're such a coward. Look at all the men in the world, who else is as cowardly as you? Only Emperor Lin..."

Ye Wan suddenly spoke up, "I think Madam Pei's liver fire is too strong. As people get older, their minds aren't as clear. She's probably prone to hysteria at night. Drinking more brown rice and barley soup, several large bowls a day, should help."

The people in the courtyard were even more stunned, staring at Ye Wan as if they had seen a ghost.

Ye Wan was disguised today, and since he usually didn't invite noblewomen into the palace, no one in the courtyard recognized her for a while.

Madam Pei was furious. "Who do you think you are, a mere female physician meddling in our family affairs? Lin Qingdai, you really are..."

"How dare you call me by my given name!" Er Ya's face darkened.

She should have known better than to bring her parents back; has her mother-in-law gone mad?

Madam Pei was so angry she lost her mind and didn't react. "It's only because your mother spoiled you so much that you don't know any better. Go to other people's houses and see which daughter-in-law is like you..."

Lin Anyuan said, "If we hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that Madam Pei had such a big problem with us."

Pei Zhixuan knelt down.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Lin Anyuan attends court every three days. If even the Pei family can't recognize his voice, then they're doomed.

"this……"

Madam Pei suddenly went limp.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress." Pei Zhixuan had no idea that the two people who came with his wife were actually the Emperor and Empress in disguise.

My mother is really getting senile.

"This old minister pays his respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress."

Prime Minister Pei, who had already left the court, rushed over to apologize.

“Prime Minister Pei, there’s no need for such formalities. I was just traveling incognito and dropping my daughter off on the way.” Lin Anyuan’s words made Prime Minister Pei dare not refuse to rise.

They invited the man to the main hall of the Pei family's residence, where he knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Ye Wan said, "With more children in a family, there are bound to be various problems. If they are really hard to manage, it would be a good thing to separate the family to avoid disputes and loss of harmony. That would be worse."

"Yes, Your Majesty is right, that's exactly what I was planning to do." Prime Minister Pei wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

He's already this old, it's just that he takes good care of himself, otherwise he would have fainted from fright like his wife.

I told my wife long ago that Qingdai was a royal princess, and that even if she wasn't my biological daughter, I should still treat her with respect. She's really getting senile.

"We're just passing through today and have nothing else to do, so my husband and I won't stay any longer."

Ye Wan stopped there and left with Lin Anyuan.

Madam Pei is Er Ya's mother-in-law after all; let's see how the Pei family reacts.

"You old fool, you old fool!"

The two left Prime Minister Pei and went to see his wife.

"Master, I...I won't be punished, will I?" Madam Pei had been feigning illness, but now she was genuinely sick.

"Aren't you comfortable with your life of luxury every day? Why do you have to make trouble? What's so great about it? Are you satisfied now?"

Prime Minister Pei was worried. Although the Emperor and Empress had not openly punished him, they were still dissatisfied.

This couple was extremely protective of their own. Although the second princess was not their biological child, she was raised by the Empress. Their wife had truly become blinded by wealth and luxury.

"Xiao Si and her husband have a harmonious relationship, and their child is already so big. Why do you insist on acting like a domineering mother-in-law? Do you really think they don't care about you?"

Madam Pei couldn't help but say, "I've never seen anyone like this before. They're not even her own children, why are they so controlling?"

"If you're free in the future, don't go around your children and grandchildren. Just live a peaceful life."

Looking at his wife, Pei Xiang decided that the children would move out and live separately tomorrow. If things continued like this at home, something bad would happen sooner or later.

...

...

"You're in a good mood today."

Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan walked side by side.

Ye Wan said, "After all, it's their family matter. If we go too far, it will put the son-in-law in a difficult position. In the end, it's their own child who doesn't suffer any loss. If they do, you'll see if I'll still have a good temper."

Her temper has indeed softened considerably.

"Where do we go next?"

"Go to Fanlou." Lin Anyuan pointed in the direction.

"Are we just going like this?" Ye Wan glanced at their attire.

"Just go like this, it's best if no one recognizes you."

"OK."

The two hit it off immediately and walked to Fanlou.

I must say, walking there is quite good, and it can even help improve your health.

Go there and immediately notice Xueyu, the top courtesan.

Ye Wan: ...

"Over the years, the top courtesans inside have changed batch after batch. Xueyu, whom you mentioned, no longer comes out to see guests."

Lin Anyuan took out the silver, saying, "Just say it's an old friend meeting again."

Ye Wan: ...

...
