Chapter 21
Pei Lingjun raised his chin slightly forward and muttered softly, "Especially that Fourth Sister Wen."
"Huh? Who are you talking about?"
Cui Pei followed his gaze and looked ahead. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No way, I think it's clearly that Miss Wen who's hard to deal with. That sharp-mouthed, fanged thing almost ate Fourth Sister."
Pei Lingjun chuckled, his smile forced: "You'll find out sooner or later."
The formidable Wen Si Niangzi leaned against the carriage, half of her face still flushed, though not as noticeably as before.
Wenji shrank his neck and dared not speak, glancing up at Wenshu's face every now and then.
The long, dull silence between the siblings was suddenly broken by Pei Lingjun.
The young man took a long stride and easily boarded the carriage, instantly making the originally spacious carriage feel cramped.
He seemed oblivious to the eerie silence inside the carriage, reached out and ruffled Wenji's hair, asking with a smile, "Well done, what reward do you want?"
award?
Wenji looked panicked and moved closer to Wenshu as if to say, "Don't touch me." She glanced at him as if she had seen a ghost, then quickly looked away and carefully observed Wenshu's expression.
He no longer dared to dream of any reward. Not only did he secretly come to the medicine shop to do errands for others without his sister's knowledge, but he also missed most of the day at school.
My sister must be very disappointed.
"Cousin, this is a reward I gave you, not your older sister. Why are you always looking at her?"
Wenji frowned and dodged, "Don't touch me, who's your cousin?"
Cui Pei, standing outside the carriage, suppressed a smile and thought to himself, "Wherever the young master goes, he's always surrounded by people. But in Anyang, not only does Lady Wen wish him dead, but even the young boys don't like him."
This person has an absurdly poor reputation.
Cui Pei became more and more excited as he thought about it, and a few gloating laughs escaped his lips.
Before I could calm down, a hammer slammed against the carriage wall, and the young man's voice, whose tone was hard to decipher, echoed in my ears, "Cui Pei, do you still want to work here?"
Cui Pei: "..."
——
The news that a young man from Jinzhou had suddenly arrived at the Wen residence spread throughout the entire household in less than an incense stick's time.
Wen Shu instructed Han Xiang not to reveal what happened at the medicine shop today, so as not to worry Zhou Yun, but unexpectedly, the matter could not be kept secret.
The main character swaggered out of the old lady's courtyard, followed by two or three nannies, and entered Wen Shu's courtyard in a flash.
"Cousin Wenshu, look what your cousin brought you!"
Hearing the noise, Hanxiang opened the door and saw Pei Lingjun bringing two or three nannies from the old lady's courtyard. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, throwing away the dripping ice cube in her hand and pulling Wen Shu up.
The young man in the courtyard spoke without restraint: "This whole thing started because of me, but it has unjustly implicated my cousin. It is my fault, and I will definitely apologize to her another day."
A glimpse of a blue garment flashed through the doorway. Wen Shu opened the door halfway and stood inside, looking at him. "Cousin, what are you doing?"
The two maids presented the items they were carrying so that Wen Shu could see them more clearly.
Before Pei Lingjun could speak, the head nanny said, "The old lady knows that Fourth Miss has been wronged and has already punished the eldest young lady. She asked this old servant to send some gold and silver items to Fourth Miss to apologize."
Wen Shu glanced at the lacquered gold and jade ornaments at the very top. These things looked very familiar; they belonged to Wen Xi.
His brown eyes darted around and landed on Pei Lingjun.
The old lady favored the two brothers, Wenxi and Wenquan. Even if they were in the wrong, the first wife would usually suppress their complaints and they would never cause trouble in front of the old lady.
Even if the old lady knew, she would just let it go with a few words. How could she force Wenxi to send gifts as an apology?
