Chapter 180 Sharing Weal and Woe

"I heard that Yuzhou is a very hard place. The Crown Prince's wife would rather give up her rich life in the capital and go there with the young master. They have a really good relationship!"

"Yes! This is the relationship between husband and wife, sharing the joys and sorrows. The young master really married a good prince consort!"

"The Second Young Master has two concubines, why don't you take one with you? In such a harsh place, life wouldn't be so hard if there was a woman to keep him company!"

"The two concubines of the Second Young Master are always jealous of each other in the mansion. They are fighting for the Young Master very fiercely. How come none of them wants to go with him when he is going to Yuzhou now?"

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Pei Jingchuan and his companions were saying goodbye to the Duke and his companions. Some servants not far away could not help but whispered to each other.

Pei Jingyuan happened to hear the servants' words clearly. Originally, he didn't think so. He went to Yuzhou because of something important that His Royal Highness Prince Yu had asked him to do, so he naturally didn't take the love affair seriously. But now, when he accidentally heard the servants' discussion, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Especially when he turned his head and saw Xu Qingyan standing next to Pei Jingchuan in light clothes, the way the two of them followed each other was even more dazzling to him.

"Where are Aunt Xu and Aunt Zhao? Why do we see them coming to see us off?" Pei Jingyuan asked the servants in the mansion with a cold face.

The servant turned around and said, "Second Master, they are here! The two concubines are at the door."

I saw Xu Qingyue and Zhao Shiwen walking out of the gate one after the other.

Pei Jingyuan's face looked better. Thinking of what the servants had said just now, he couldn't help but look at the two of them and said, "I can take someone with me when I go to Yuzhou this time. Who of you is willing to go with me?"

He was a normal man, and he didn't know how long it would take him to come back. Sometimes he really needed a woman to accompany him. Originally, he thought that after he said this, Xu Qingyue and Zhao Shiwen would rush to go, but he didn't expect that the two of them changed their expressions when they heard it.

After hearing this, Xu Qingyue said, "My husband and Aunt Zhao have only been together for a short time. I'm sure you will be reluctant to be separated for such a long time. I will help you and not compete with Aunt Zhao."

Zhao Shiwen heard what Xu Qingyue said and hurriedly said, "No! My sister has been with my husband before me, so my husband must be more accustomed to my sister's care. During this period of time, my sister has taken away too much of my husband's time, so let me give this opportunity to you!"

Pei Jingyuan's face changed when he heard this. He looked at them incredulously and asked, "Are you all unwilling to accompany me?"

He didn't expect it to be like this. Xu Qingyue's words just now seemed to be said in anger because of jealousy, but they actually rejected Pei Jingyuan. As for Zhao Shiwen's words, they seemed to be humble and show their understanding, but in fact they were also covering up the fact that they didn't want to go.

Pei Jingyuan was not a fool, how could he not see it? These two women did not want to accompany him! Usually, they were jealous of him in the mansion, but at this critical moment, none of them was sincere to him, which made Pei Jingyuan begin to feel annoyed.

Especially when he saw Pei Jingchuan and his wife, who had a very good relationship, he felt indescribable. In fact, he couldn't help but secretly wondered in his heart, if he hadn't exchanged his marriage, and married Xu Qingyan, would he not be in such a mess now? Would Xu Qingyan accompany him when he went to Yuzhou this time? At this moment, wasn't it him who was lucky enough to sigh?

"Forget it! Since you two don't want to, let's just give up!" Pei Jingyuan waved his hand irritably and got on his carriage without looking back.

Seeing Pei Jingyuan's impatient attitude, Xu Qingyue couldn't help but frowned, and looked at Zhao Shiwen beside her sarcastically and said, "Don't you usually like to compete for your husband's favor? Why don't you go now that I'm giving you this opportunity?"

Zhao Shiwen held back her inner rolling eyes and sneered, "Don't blame me, my sister is the same. You didn't cherish such a good opportunity, did you?"

Yuzhou is so far away, life would definitely be hard if she followed him there. She married into the Duke's Mansion to enjoy life, not to suffer. Naturally, she would not go to Yuzhou with him.

Xu Qingyue snorted coldly when she heard this. She saw what Zhao Shiwen meant and knew that she didn't really like Pei Jingyuan. She just wanted wealth and glory. At this moment, she felt better for some reason because she felt that Pei Jingyuan was a failure and no one around him really loved him.

However, when Xu Qingyue was about to turn around and go back to the mansion, she suddenly heard the servants sighing about the love and beauty of the young master and his wife, and she couldn't help but feel jealous. She turned around and looked at Xu Qingyan, and saw that the two of them were like a perfect couple, standing in the bright sunshine, and Xu Qingyan was smiling brightly at this time.

So, she couldn't help but walk over to Xu Qingyan and started to talk without thinking: "Princess, are you going to accompany the young master to Yuzhou to suffer? I heard that the conditions in Yuzhou are harsh and the water and soil are not good for people. Aren't you afraid that your skin will become worse and you will become ugly after you go there? If you become ugly, aren't you afraid that the young master will be seduced by other women?"

As soon as she said this, everyone's faces changed. The Duke's wife was about to scold her, but was stopped by Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan smiled brightly and said, "I am with my husband every day, so naturally we are happy and harmonious. But Aunt Xu, aren't you going with my second brother this time? My second brother did so much for you, why are you unwilling to suffer this little bit with him? I don't know how long it will take to go to Yuzhou this time, aren't you worried that my second brother will bring another confidante with him when he comes back?"

"Hehe...my husband is going to do great things, how can I follow him and cause trouble? I am not an ignorant person." Xu Qingyue said in a sarcastic tone. There was no concern for Pei Jingyuan in her tone, but she was quite jealous of Xu Qingyan.

This made Xu Qingyan slightly puzzled. [Eh... Why does it feel a little wrong? From Xu Qingyue's tone, it seems that she has no feelings for Pei Jingyuan anymore, and doesn't care at all that he finds women outside! Isn't this developing too fast? I remember that Xu Qingyue's feelings for Pei Jingyuan slowly changed after he became emperor and saw him marrying one woman after another. Now, just because he married Zhao Shiwen, Xu Qingyue has completely let go of Pei Jingyuan? What's wrong here? ]

After hearing Xu Qingyan's complaints, Pei Jingchuan couldn't help but frown again. Would someone like Pei Jingyuan be the emperor in the future? For the sake of the people of the world, he absolutely could not allow it. And Xu Qingyue, a concubine of the Duke's Mansion, actually jumped up and down repeatedly to make trouble in front of Qingyan. He was annoyed.

So, he rebuked Xu Qingyue in a cold voice, "Mrs. Xu, how sensible are you? As the mistress of a bastard of a Duke's mansion, are you supposed to be bossing around in front of the Crown Prince's wife?"
