Chapter 439: Specially Finding Such a Marriage

Xu Muhua was shocked, "Wouldn't the mother and daughter have caused a big uproar?"

She didn't expect that Master Pei would act so quickly, and didn't let the mother and daughter know until after the betrothal.

Pei Shaorong sneered, "That's right, it's a big uproar. Unfortunately, this time, my grandfather said that the marriage has been decided. If Pei Zhen doesn't marry, she will become a nun!"

Xu Muhua was also happy. She didn't expect Master Pei to be so cruel. "What kind of marriage did Master Pei find for her?"

Pei Shaorong's eyes turned, raised his hand, slightly covered his mouth, and whispered, "The family background is good, and the character is not bad. But it's a second marriage, and the previous one was divorced by peace, and was forced to divorce by the mother-in-law."

Xu Muhua immediately understood.

It turns out that Master Pei found a mama's boy for Pei Zhen, and the mother-in-law is from a powerful family!

"Grandfather said that with Pei Zhen's personality, she has to find a family like this to control her. Otherwise, marrying into the family would only bring harm to the family, and it would not be marriage but hatred!"

That's why grandfather specially chose this person.

Although she is a second marriage, the previous one was divorced peacefully, so Pei Zhen will not be inferior to others if she marries into the family.

After all, it is better than being a concubine. It's a bargain for Pei Zhen!

"It's just that Pei Zhen and Aunt Zhao may not obey. And your father..."

Pei Shaorong's expression faded, "Grandfather has already decided on this matter, and the betrothal gift has been given. There is no possibility of change. If Pei Zhen really doesn't want to, then she can only become a nun!"

She saw that her grandfather was serious this time.

As for his father, his grandfather is not dead yet, so it is not his turn to have the final say in Pei Mansion!

Xu Muhua did not expect that reminding Ling Hongge would bring such a reward, which was an unexpected surprise!

If Master Pei could be so decisive earlier, the reputation of Pei Mansion would not have fallen to the current state. It was in vain that Arong and Madam Pei were implicated.

Pei Shaorong said so, even if Xu Muhua still had some doubts in his heart, he could only suppress them in his heart.

But she remembered another thing and reminded him, "Arong, I found out something by chance, I think I should tell you."

"What is it, tell me."

Xu Muhua first mentioned the poisoning of Mrs. Pei, and then said, "Aunt Zhao has contacts with people in the palace, and you are now married into the East Palace. You have to be careful, you never know when she will come up with bad ideas to you again."

Pei Shaorong did not ask how she knew it, but nodded, "I know, I will be careful."

After thinking for a while, Xu Muhua said, "The situation in the palace is complicated, and people's hearts are hard to predict. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. You should be more careful in everything, understand?"

Pei Shaorong did not say anything, but just stared at her steadily.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Muhua was confused by her gaze.

Pei Shaorong burst into laughter, then reached out and scratched her nose, "Why are you like an old mother? I'm older than you. I should be the one worrying about you, why are you doing it the other way around?"

Xu Muhua couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Who says you can't worry about younger people? It's really you, Arong, who are too naive and easily fooled!"

Pei Shaorong was not convinced, "How can I be fooled easily? I'm also very smart, and my grandfather often praises me!"

"Arong, you are smart, but you trust the people around you too easily."

Pei Shaorong tilted his head, "Isn't that bad?"

"Not that it's bad, but people of our status, it's always better to be more careful about everything."

"Okay, okay, you make me feel like a child. You were my mother in your previous life, and you are worried about me, so you came after me?"

Pei Shaorong joked.

"Okay, you dare to take advantage of me!"

Xu Muhua stretched out his claws to tickle her.

Pei Shaorong was most afraid of this, and she laughed out loud. Until a loud voice that seemed to be about to break the throat came over: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

The two of them stopped laughing.

Pei Shaorong stood up in surprise, "Why is the Crown Prince back at this time?"

For their wedding, the emperor specially gave him a few days off. So he has a lot of official duties piled up, and he has been very busy these two days, leaving home early and returning late!

But now... Pei Shaorong couldn't help but stick his head out to look at the sky.

The sun is still high in the sky!

The prince is here, not to mention Xu Muhua, even Pei Shaorong has to stand up and pay respect.

Although Zhao Chengye mentioned this matter long ago, saying that they are husband and wife and there is no need to do this. But Pei Shaorong feels that etiquette should not be abandoned.

Xu Muhua watched from the side and seemed to be thinking about something.

"I heard that the prince has been very busy recently, but today he was in a hurry and returned to the East Palace early. Is he worried that I will bully the crown princess?"

Xu Muhua deliberately teased.

Zhao Chengye's ears turned red and his eyes flashed.

It really is!

He heard that Xu Muhua entered the East Palace, although they had talked about it a long time ago, but he still couldn't help worrying.

It's not that he is too self-righteous and suspects that Xu Muhua has any thoughts about him. It's just that many times, power and interests confuse people's hearts. He couldn't guarantee that Xu Muhua really didn't have any other thoughts.

Of course, he certainly couldn't admit this, otherwise Arong wouldn't have forgiven him.

"No, I feel that I have been busy with official duties these days and neglected Arong. And you are Arong's good friend, so of course I should rush back to entertain you with Arong."

Xu Muhua waved her hands hurriedly, "Don't say that!"

How could she be worthy of the prince to rush back and entertain her in person! She didn't have that much face.

Pei Shaorong said softly: "Okay, Muhua, don't take it to heart. Just like the prince said, you are my good friend, and he should come back to entertain you. At this moment, he is using my husband's identity, not the prince's identity, right?"

She turned her head and asked.

Zhao Chengye smiled and nodded, "That's the truth."

Xu Muhua did not insist on this topic anymore and cupped her hands, "Sorry to bother you."

Because the prince had returned, Pei Shaorong simply kept Xu Muhua and had dinner in the East Palace before sending someone to escort her out of the palace.

Zhao Chengye accompanied her for a while and then went to the study to continue his official business.

However, the first thing he noticed when

he entered the study was that something was different. There was an official hat chair next to his usual desk, and this official hat chair was always empty. Only occasionally when his subordinates came to discuss matters and he gave them a seat, would someone sit on this official hat chair, let alone put things on it.

But now, something was placed on the chair that should have been empty!
