"My little sister's nose is high and straight, like a masterpiece sculpted by a master."

Pei Minxue looked at his wife with hopeful eyes, waiting for her to praise his nose.

"As for yours."

"Your nose is a bit flat, like you've been punched."

Pei Minxue's expression turned slightly unpleasant. He reached out and touched his nose. Was it really that obvious?

"Also, the little sister's eyes are like clear lake water, shining with a crystal-clear light, making people unconsciously feel good towards her when they look into her eyes."

After Madam Pei finished speaking, she looked at Pei Minxue and said, "As for yours..."

"I don't know if it's because you haven't been resting well lately, but you've developed wrinkles under your eyes, and your eyes look a bit dull, making you look less lively."

Just as Pei Minxue was about to say something, Madam Pei added, "It seems that you had lines around the corners of your eyes when you got married."

"It should have nothing to do with the fatigue from traveling these past few days."

Pei Minxue pursed her lips, no longer wanting to speak.

"As for the lips, little sister's..."

Pei Minxue suddenly stood up. "I'm a little tired. I'm going to wash up and go to bed."

Seeing this, Madam Pei finally felt relieved.

Pei Minxue was certainly good-looking; otherwise, she wouldn't have married him.

However, Madam Pei still harbored some resentment about what happened today, and naturally couldn't bear to see Pei Minxue do well.

However, between husband and wife, if there's something, it's best to let it pass after the anger has subsided, and not leave unresolved overnight.

Madam Pei chased after her, saying, "I'll get you your clothes and give you a shoulder massage while I'm at it."

Pei Minxue's expression softened slightly, and he responded with a nod, which was taken as an agreement.

Pei Minxue leaned against the bathtub, and Madam Pei massaged his shoulders.

"What exactly is going on between my younger sister and His Majesty?"

"I saw them holding hands today."

"Just as you saw it." Pei Minxue didn't intend to hide anything.

Besides, this matter can't be kept secret any longer.

Madam Pei inquired, "So, according to what you're saying, my younger sister will be entering the palace in the future?"

Pei Minxue shook his head, then nodded, and finally shook his head again.

Madam Pei slapped Pei Minxue hard on the shoulder. "What do you mean by this?"

"Why are you shaking your head and nodding at the same time? Can't you just say what you want to say?"

Pei Minxue said helplessly, "This is not something I can decide."

If he really had that much power, His Majesty and Shang Huai would have already treated him like royalty.

Lady Pei misunderstood, "Could it be that His Majesty doesn't intend to..."

“No.” Pei Minxue shook his head. “His Majesty is eager to marry Pei Zhi into the palace.”

"But this depends on whether Pei Zhi agrees."

Pei Minxue sighed, "I've spoken to His Majesty about this, but it doesn't count."

"No one in the world can make decisions for Pei Zhi."

Madam Pei was also somewhat surprised, but then she laughed out loud.

"It's quite interesting."

Madam Pei thought for a moment and then said, "I never expected that His Majesty would be so completely under my sister's control."

"However, my little sister will definitely agree. As long as she nods, she can become empress, right?"

Madam Pei asserted, "No woman could resist such a temptation."

Pei Minxue scoffed, "That's not necessarily true."

Pei Minxue thought for a moment and then added, "Others might do that, but she definitely wouldn't."

Madam Pei asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Pei Minxue scratched his forehead and looked up at Madam Pei again.

"Madam, you married me, we had children, so we should be family."

"There are some things I might as well tell you."

Pei Minxue added, "But there are some things you should keep to yourself and not tell your family."

Madam Pei nodded hurriedly, "I've remembered everything you've said, my lord."

"Wasn't what happened with my cousin enough to teach me a lesson?"

The cousin that Madam Pei mentioned was the one who attended the baby's third-day celebration for Pei Minxue's son that day.

She rushed into Pei Zhi's courtyard, looking for the woman Xiao Chengci had bumped into.

Madam Pei wasn't particularly close to this cousin; it's just that she was pregnant at the time and couldn't go out easily due to her large belly.

Her cousin came to the mansion every day to keep her company and take care of her.

As their interactions increased, when her cousin asked her questions, Madam Pei would casually answer them.

I just thought my cousin was curious.

Who knew my cousin had such a plan?

Afterwards, Madam Pei's cousin naturally didn't fare well either.

This young lady was forced to kneel at her own doorstep by the Emperor and was slapped twenty times by a palace eunuch.

Not to mention the people coming and going outside the mansion gates.

Afterwards, Madam Pei's family also severed ties with her cousin's family.

My cousin's family's actions clearly show no regard for Madam Pei.

You can't have relatives like that even if you wanted them.

Fortunately, Pei Minxue had a good relationship with His Majesty.

Otherwise, if His Majesty were to implicate Lady Pei, who could say for sure?

In just a few words, Pei Minxue explained the entanglement between Xiao Chengci, Shang Huai, and Pei Zhi.

Pei Minxue also omitted a lot.

It's just that Pei Zhi agreed to marry Shang Huai.

However, Pei Zhi agreed to marry Shang Huai because she had a fight with His Majesty.

However, Pei Zhi had forgotten all of this.

Madam Pei was speechless with astonishment upon hearing this.

"So, my sister is now wavering between His Majesty and Lord Shang?"

Madam Pei thought for a moment and realized that the word "wavering" was not quite right.

"Is it because the younger sister doesn't know which one to choose?"
