Chapter 404 Wild Thoughts

Pei Shaorong already knew that her grandfather had asked her mother to arrange Pei Zhen's marriage, and she had no idea about it.

She believed in her mother.

As for that father... she smiled lightly and didn't care at all.

She believed that he would come so kindly, not to see Huaiyuan, but for Pei Zhen.

But no matter what he was thinking, I'm afraid it would all fail!

Mrs. Pei went to the side hall first, and ignored Lord Pei. She sat down and said, "Dad asked me to go and tell me that Arong's wedding is coming soon. The second lady is about the same age as Arong, so it's time to prepare for her wedding."

"So I want to ask you if you have any ideas, or if you have any suitable candidates. I can also refer to them and prepare."

Lord Pei was also very surprised. He didn't expect her to confess this to him directly. He thought... It was rare that Lord Pei actually felt a little guilty!

Mrs. Pei saw it at a glance and just sneered.

Fake! Worthless!

But Mrs. Pei's words made Lord Pei feel much more at ease. In this way, he didn't have to worry about how to start.

He pretended to think for a while before slowly saying, "Although Zhen'er is a concubine's daughter, the Pei family doesn't accept that. Concubines are still children of the Pei family. So Zhen'er's marriage can't be too bad. After all, her legitimate sister is the Crown Princess!" She

is the future Empress, so her sister can't marry too badly.

Madam Pei sneered in her heart.

Now she wants to take advantage of it. Why didn't she think about it before? She even wanted to torture Arong to death? Both mother and daughter want to take advantage of this world! How can there be such a cheap thing!

Madam Pei didn't show it on her face, and continued to ask, "Then according to what you mean, what kind of family should the second lady find?"

Lord Pei blurted out without thinking, "Of course it must be a powerful and noble family, and it must be a legitimate child!"

Just after he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something again, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Just now he said that there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and then he emphasized that the child must be legitimate.

"What is a powerful and noble family? A royal family, a first- or second-rank official?"

Mrs. Pei's tone was already full of sarcasm.

But Lord Pei didn't hear it, and actually nodded and said, "Yes, that's the standard."

Although Mrs. Pei had seen through this man and knew his temper, she was still amused.

He really thought that Pei Zhen was a rare treasure, worthy of everyone's pursuit and competition? What a big face!

"What are you laughing at?"

Lord Pei finally noticed Mrs. Pei's abnormality, thinking that she was unwilling to find a legitimate son of these powerful and noble families for Pei Zhen, and immediately frowned.

"Master Xiao has a fatherly heart towards the second young lady. It is really a blessing for the second young lady to have a father like Master!"

Mrs. Pei said sincerely.

But Lord Pei felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

What does it mean to have a fatherly heart towards the second young lady? Doesn't he have a fatherly heart towards Arong and Huaiyuan? They are all his children. He just loves her more because Zhen'er is a concubine's daughter.

Arong has the status of a legitimate daughter. What's wrong with giving in to Zhen'er in other things? You can't let Arong take all the benefits. You can't let Zhen'er give in to Arong, the legitimate sister, in everything just because she is a concubine's daughter!

"Don't worry, master, I will pay attention to this matter."

Lord Pei was suspicious at first, but then relieved when she heard her say this. I just think she agreed because Arong's wedding is coming soon and she doesn't want to cause trouble at this time.

"I still have to take care of Huaiyuan, so you should go back and rest early!"

Lord Pei said subconsciously: "The servants will do all these, and you don't need to stay by Huaiyuan's side all the time."

Mrs. Pei stopped and tightened her hands.

Of course he felt that it was not necessary. Huaiyuan, this legitimate son, was dispensable to him. But for her, it was more important than her life, so of course he would not understand.

Mrs. Pei hummed and left without looking back.

Then she turned around and went to find Master Pei, and excused herself from Pei Zhen's matter, "Dad, I'm afraid I can't do anything about the second young lady."

Master Pei's wise eyes fell on her and asked, "What's the problem?"

Mrs. Pei smiled bitterly and said, "The master heard about this and came to me, asking me to pick a legitimate candidate from the royal families and the homes of first- and second-rank officials in the capital... Even if Arong is going to become the Crown Princess soon, I can't do it."

"Even if the second young lady is the Crown Princess's sister, she is still a bastard after all, and was reprimanded by the Empress before. Aunt Zhao is still a concubine. But the master..."

Master Pei's face sank. He originally wanted to tell her not to worry about it, but thinking of the relationship between them, he swallowed the words back. Then he changed the subject and said, "You don't have to worry about this anymore. I have my own plans."

Madam Pei breathed a sigh of relief.

Her father-in-law might know her little thoughts, but even if he knew, what would it matter?

Her father-in-law is not her husband with a brain like tofu. He knows better than anyone what is the most important and the most important thing!

Huaiyuan's incident just happened, and Arong is getting married soon. At this time, as long as it is not a big deal, her father-in-law will help her save face.

Want to find a son of a prince or a noble family, or a first or second rank official as a husband for Pei Zhen? Pei Zhen doesn't deserve it! Dream on!

Seeing that her father-in-law is so anxious about Pei Zhen's marriage, it seems that Pei Zhen did something to anger her father-in-law.

Thinking of this, Madam Pei finally showed a little smile from the bottom of her heart.

I really look forward to what kind of marriage her father-in-law will find for Pei Zhen. She was even more looking forward to their reaction after knowing it.

According to her understanding of her father-in-law, Pei Zhen's marriage would be decided after A Rong's wedding at the earliest, so as to avoid their disturbance and affect A Rong's marriage.

This was good, she didn't have to worry about anything going wrong in the middle.

Mrs. Pei didn't say anything, and Master Pei would not say anything either, so whether it was Master Pei, Aunt Zhao, or Old Madam Pei, they didn't know that Pei Zhen's marriage was arranged by Master Pei.

Moreover, Master Pei acted very quickly. He found the family in a few days and discussed it secretly. It was not until Pei Shaorong got married successfully that the man came to make an appointment with Aunt Zhao and the others knew who Pei Zhen's husband's family was.

Aunt Zhao fainted on the spot, and Pei Zhen was like crazy in the room, crying and making a fuss. But Master Pei was tough and only gave her two choices: either obey the arrangement and get married, or become a nun, it's up to her to choose!

Xu Muhua also gained a lot!
