Chapter 11 Stop!
Miss Ji doesn't like the people from the second branch of the Pei family, and he doesn't like these people either.
He had long discovered that although these people spoke respectfully, their eyes were full of contempt, and he was probably cursing them in his heart.
They were about to reach Lingnan. Along the way, they had already plundered most of the exiles. The people from Pei Erfang were becoming more and more stingy. Even though they had enough money in their pockets, they didn't care about that little bit of money.
In comparison, the food made by Miss Ji is more attractive.
Pei Shun's expression, which had finally softened, could no longer be maintained. In an instant, it became extremely ugly, with disgust and irritability flashing in his eyes.
Just because I said a few nice words, these yamen runners really thought I was some big shot and started to act arrogantly?
He really wanted to walk away, but his mind was not clear enough to that extent. He knew very clearly that if he provoked these yamen runners, he would suffer the consequences, and if he went back empty-handed, he would have a hard time explaining to the old lady.
He walked forward with a flattering smile on his face and was about to hand the money in his hand to Lao Wutou.
Lao Wutou firmly refused the few coins offered to him, with a stern face, "We are going to rest, don't come and cause trouble."
Old Five had been on the battlefield before, and now he had a stern face and a ferocious look on his face, which was very intimidating, as if the whip would fall on Pei Shun in the next second.
Pei Shun was so frightened that he dared not go forward to continue negotiating. He ran back to the residence of the second branch of the Pei family.
Pei Yuxuan was thinking about delicious food, and his eyes were shining when he saw Pei Shun coming back. However, when his eyes fell on his empty hands, the expectant and happy expression immediately changed. He looked unhappy, and his mouth curled up, as if he was about to cry.
Madam Pei Er stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Shunzi, where is what Xuanxuan wants?"
Pei Shun looked embarrassed. "Those yamen runners wouldn't sell it to us because they thought the money we paid was too little."
He blamed the yamen runners and lack of money for not getting any food, as he couldn't let the old lady hate him.
"Stubborn people...what a bunch of stubborn people!" Old Madam Pei Er cursed in a low voice, making sure that the sound would not be heard out.
Pei Yuanyuan, who had been silent the whole time, urged, "Grandma, there must be something behind this from the eldest wife. Ji Zhisui is now cooking for those yamen runners to build good relationships. Who knows, maybe this bitch said something behind the scenes."
Old Madam Pei Er did not respond, but the expression on her face clearly showed her agreement. Otherwise, why did the yamen runners, who would always give them some face when they saw money, not give them any face at all this time?
The eldest wife! The eldest wife! The eldest wife again!
The second branch of the family used to fawn over the first branch but got no benefits. Not only did they have their property confiscated and were exiled, but now the first branch of the family is still restless and has colluded with the yamen runners to make things difficult for their family.
They just watched someone die without helping. Is it necessary for the Dafang family to hold a grudge against them until now?
Besides, with so many people in the second branch, including food, clothing, housing, and government servants, how could they possibly need money to settle down in Lingnan? Where would they have extra money to lend?
Will the money lent to those powerless people in the eldest house be returned? Several orphans and widows, the old and the weak, might as well die!
Moreover, they were accused of treason and had no chance of turning things around. The eldest wife would always be under their feet.
Seeing the vicious expression on her grandmother's face as she wished, Pei Yuanyuan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, waiting for her grandmother to teach the people from the eldest wife a lesson. She would just stand aside and watch the fun.
When Pei Yuxuan realized that what he wanted was not given to him, he started to cling to Old Madam Pei Er and cry. He clearly had everything he wanted!
When Mrs. Pei Er saw that her grandson was feeling wronged, she tried to comfort him for a long time, both coaxing and deceiving him.
The Pei family had no idea what the second branch was planning. A long-lost look of satisfaction appeared on their faces as they finally had a meal of meat.
After the bacon was divided, each person could only get five or six pieces, not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, but they still ate it with relish.
The red mushrooms have absorbed the salty and fragrant fat of the bacon. When you take a bite, the delicious juice overflows between your teeth. The bacon is not greasy at all, but fresh and delicious. The sweetness and bacon aroma on the tip of your tongue make you unable to stop.
The Pei family, who always pay attention to their manners when eating, couldn't help showing some admiration on their faces when they tasted such delicious food, and they chewed faster unconsciously, wanting to enjoy this delicious food more.
Among them, only Pei Yian was still sitting upright, with his back straight, looking like a gentleman, without losing his composure at all, but there was a dark light flashing in his eyes.
No matter what, the Pei family had a delicious meal tonight.
After dinner, it was not completely dark yet, so Ji Zhisui wanted to see if there were any wild vegetables nearby, such as red mushrooms. Red mushrooms are delicious and can be stored for a long time after being dried.
Just as she was about to go take a look nearby, she heard a noise coming from not far away.
Originally, she didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but after hearing the familiar name, she changed direction.
"Catch this little fool for me, don't let him run away!" Pei Yuxuan gave orders.
After receiving the order, the three children immediately took action and surrounded Pei Xinghai, leaving him no chance to ask for help or escape.
"Little fool, you were eating so happily just now, weren't you very proud?" Pei Yuxuan approached step by step. He did not forget the satisfied expression on Pei Xinghai's face that he accidentally caught a glimpse of.
He was already in a bad mood because he didn't get what he wanted, and when he saw this fool showing a satisfied expression, his irritability surged up again.
Why?
Why is this idiot so happy? If he doesn't have a good life, no one else can have an easy life either.
Pei Xinghai felt that these people had bad intentions. Even though he instinctively wanted to retreat, he was surrounded and couldn't break free.
Especially after seeing Pei Yuxuan, fear and panic flashed in his eyes, and he could only stand there and not move.
Seeing the fear and shock on the face of the person in front of him, Pei Yuxuan said arrogantly, "What? You were so proud earlier, why are you silent now?"
Someone nearby laughed and said, "This idiot must have learned to speak at an early age. He must be frightened to death now."
Pei Yuxuan looked at Pei Xinghai's waistband with disdain, as if he wanted to confirm what the man said.
"Why go through so much trouble? Just pull down this idiot's pants and you'll know," someone suggested.
Pei Yuxuan looked at the person who spoke, his eyes revealing satisfaction. He agreed with this approach.
Everyone who received the information started to take action. They had long disliked Pei Xinghai.
These people are all illegitimate descendants of the second wife. They are not favored by the old lady, their stepmother is strong, and their father is inactive. They can only please Pei Yuxuan to get some benefits.
Before being exiled, they were also young masters who were served by others. Now Pei Yuxuan treated them as servants. These people did not dare to show their inner dissatisfaction. They hated their illegitimate status and also envied their legitimate status.
The anger was directed at Pei Xinghai, not to mention his previous respected status as the eldest grandson of the general's mansion, who was more powerful than Pei Yuxuan. What could be more pleasurable than stepping on a high and mighty person?
Along the way, they bullied Pei Xinghai a lot, but the little fool wouldn't complain anyway.
When Ji Zhisui came over, he found Pei Xinghai being pushed to the ground and someone was trying to pull down his pants.
She was furious and shouted, "Stop!"
