Chapter 49 Don't Care
Ji Zhisui was a little confused and didn't react for a moment. In the eyes of outsiders, she was the daughter-in-law of the Pei family.
"It's Master Pei! I saw him today... He went into the brothel!"
The more Granny Zhao spoke, the angrier she became. This Mr. Pei looked so handsome and well-mannered, but he did such a dirty thing. How shameless!
"Ah... brothel?" Ji Zhisui was even more confused. She really couldn't imagine Pei Yian entering a brothel.
"That's right, it's that kind of place, Sui Niang. I don't think Mr. Pei is a good person either. You must be careful of him and don't be fooled by him!"
After all, young girls are easily deceived by Mr. Pei's face, and even an old woman like her is also easily deceived. She thought he was really a good person, but she didn't expect...
"Grandma Zhao, Sui Niang, why don't you go in and talk?" Pei Yian's voice came from behind the two of them.
"Anger, are you back?"
"Yeah, I heard you and Grandma Zhao talking about me earlier. What were you talking about?"
Grandma Zhao was a little nervous and hid behind Ji Zhisui. It was not pleasant to say bad things about someone behind their back and be caught by the real person. She didn't know when Mr. Pei appeared or how much he heard. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Pei Yian.
"Nothing, I was just chatting with Grandma Zhao." Ji Zhisui also knew that what they had said before should not be brought to the attention of the main person, and she did not think that Pei Yian was the type of person who would visit a brothel, so there must be some hidden story.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go in first." Pei Yian said and turned to go into the house.
After the person left, Grandma Zhao let out a long sigh, and her accelerated heartbeat slowed down.
Even after confirming Pei Yian's absence, Grandma Zhao was still worried. She pulled Ji Zhisui to a corner and warned her again, "Sui Niang, I have to trust Grandma. I saw it all with my own eyes! You must keep an eye on this man. You'd better keep his money. Men tend to become bad once they have money. Don't let them be seduced by those wild women outside!"
Although Grandma Zhao talked a lot, Ji Zhisui was not impatient at all. She knew that she was talking so much for her own good. In order not to make the old lady worry, she nodded and agreed: "Grandma, I know what's going on. Don't worry!"
Firstly, she was in charge of the family money, and Pei Yian's private money was in her hands. Secondly, they were not a real couple, so even if Pei Yian had a woman he liked, she couldn't do anything.
After hearing Ji Zhisui's assurance, Grandma Zhao knew that Ji Zhisui had a plan in mind, so she left with peace of mind.
When Ji Zhisui turned around to close the door, he saw Pei Yian standing under the tree. It was already past dinner time, and he knew that Pei Yian had been running around outside all day and must be very tired. "Brother An, have you eaten yet? I'll make you some noodles!"
After hearing this, Pei Yian felt a little hungry. He didn't even want to stay in Chunfeng Tower, let alone eat.
"No need, I can just make some myself." It was already very hard for Sui Niang to set up the stall.
Ji Zhisui knew that this person was being polite to her, so she ignored him and went straight into the kitchen, intending to cook him a simple bowl of vegetable and egg noodles.
Seeing that Sui Niang was already busy at the stove, Pei Yian had no choice but to do his job conscientiously as the fireman.
Fry the eggs, add hot water, add the noodles when the soup is boiling, add salt to season, sprinkle with green vegetable leaves before serving, and a simple bowl of egg noodles is ready.
While waiting for the noodles to cool, Pei Yian took the initiative to ask, "Sui Niang, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
He had heard some of the conversation between Sui Niang and Grandma Zhao, and could probably guess that it was about his visit to Chunfeng Tower today.
"Yes!" Ji Zhisui almost forgot about this matter, but fortunately he reminded him.
Pei Yian looked towards Ji Zhisui with bright eyes, feeling a little sweet in his heart. It seemed that Sui Niang didn't care at all. It just so happened that he had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.
Even if Grandma Zhao didn't say it, he would tell everything himself.
"Did the people from Zhang's Embroidery Workshop take action?" Ji Zhisui asked the question she was most looking forward to.
Pei Yian's faint smile froze for a moment, but his ears were fine and he heard the question clearly. She was only asking about Zhang's Embroidery Workshop and it had nothing to do with him.
His originally excited mood seemed to be suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, as if someone was mocking him for overestimating his own abilities and being self-indulgent. However, when he met those expectant and bright eyes, he could not help but answer.
"I've already made a move. I've already established contact with the people at Zhang's Embroidery Workshop. There must be something fishy about the origin of the cloth in their warehouse. The laces on the cloth are embroidered with the Chinese character 'kou'."
"Kou? Kou Tianwu's Kou?" Ji Zhisui looked at Pei Yian in astonishment.
He just nodded and said, "I'll ask Shopkeeper Wu what's going on then."
If their guess was correct, then this mouse was not small and must have been there for many years.
"Is there anything else you want to ask me, Sui Niang?" Pei Yian continued to ask without giving up.
"Ah? There's no more!" Ji Zhisui was a little confused. She had asked all the questions she wanted to ask, so she handed the cooked noodles to Pei Yian.
"Like what you and Grandma Zhao talked about earlier?" Pei Yian smiled with a fake smile. Sui Niang really didn't care about this at all! His mood was not good.
"ah……"
As Ji Zhisui approached Pei Yian, he could smell the faint floral scent coming from him, like a crabapple... but that wasn't right...
There seemed to be more than one smell, which aroused Ji Zhisui's curiosity. He bent down and wanted to ask what other smells he had. It seemed that there was also the scent of pear blossoms and peonies.
Pei Yian, who was not in a good mood to begin with, felt Sui Niang getting closer and closer to him, so close that he seemed to be able to hear her shallow breathing.
His expression was a little stiff, and all the unhappy emotions in his mind were swept away. His dark eyes looked forward, but he did not keep those scenes in his heart. In his heart, there was only the person who was approaching him.
He didn't know where to put his hands, and his right fingernails were rubbing against each other unconsciously. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, revealing his nervousness and helplessness.
This was the first time, the first time that Sui Niang took the initiative to get close to him.
So, he still cares about me going to the brothel? Is he jealous?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He hadn't been this happy for a long time. "Sui Niang, I did go to Chunfeng Tower, but I..."
"Ang'er, I want to go to the back mountain tomorrow to see if I can pick some flowers to make cosmetics..."
The two spoke almost simultaneously, but Pei Yian heard every word clearly.
She did that just to smell the fragrance of her own makeup. As for other things, she didn't care at all!
