“Auntie is right, I know myself…” Shen Baiying lowered her head and did not have the courage to continue.
Shen Qianye stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Don't worry, my sister is not unmarried. Brother Pei is good, but my sister doesn't have to be with him."
After saying that, he was about to pull Shen Baiying.
"Brother!" Shen Baiying raised his head.
Pei Yu'an saw her red eyes filled with tears, and felt guilty and distressed.
He immediately stood up and said before leaving: "Mom, my son is not young anymore, I will decide his marriage myself!"
Aunt Pei was also unhappy. Although she knew that her words were unfair to Bai Ying, she did not think there was anything wrong for a mother to consider her son in this way.
She looked at Pei Yu'an who was chasing out, and then looked at Pei Yanli who had been silent.
"Did I say something wrong?" He couldn't help but blame her. "Aren't you usually very talkative when facing your colleagues? Now that it concerns your brother's life and my life, why are you speechless? Can't you help persuade them?"
Pei Yanli's eyes flashed with self-mockery, and he said in a cold voice: "As long as Yu'an likes her, that's fine. He's marrying a wife, not you marrying a daughter-in-law. Is it so difficult for lovers to finally get married?"
Aunt Pei said angrily, "I think you just don't want to bring Yu'an with you! I know you've always felt that I, as a mother, am biased, but think about it, Yu'an has always been soft-hearted. Even though he's the younger brother, he's always been humble and yielding to you, his older brother, in every matter."
Pei Yanli looked at his indignant mother with cold eyes: "Didn't mother fight for him every time?"
Aunt Pei choked and whispered, "Then, then as a brother, can't you take the initiative to be humble?"
Pei Yanli didn't want to continue this topic and stood up: "I'm full, mother, enjoy slowly."
Only Aunt Pei, a maid and an old woman were left in the dining hall.
Aunt Pei was so angry that she couldn't eat at all.
She turned her head and looked at the old woman of the same age, and asked unwillingly: "Tell me, as a mother, I just want my son to marry a decent girl. Is that wrong?"
The old woman didn’t see anything wrong with Shen Baiying, and she was also a female doctor, so logically speaking, her conditions were really good.
But just now, listening to the conversation of several people, I could vaguely guess that Shen Baiying had encountered something bad in the past. What exactly it was? No one told her, so she had no way of knowing?
Now the old lady is asking her what's right or wrong? How can she know?
After hesitating for a long time, the old woman finally uttered, "Alas, how pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world!"
"Yes!" Aunt Pei immediately agreed.
On the other side, Pei Yuan caught up with Shen Baiying.
"My mother's words just now were indeed excessive. I apologize to you on her behalf." Pei Yuan looked at Shen Baiying nervously, "Baiying, what I said just now was sincere. What about you? Are you willing to marry me?"
Shen Qianye said in an unhappy tone, "I hope you can go back and discuss this matter with Auntie. My Bai Ying also needs time to consider your relationship."
"Brother!!" Shen Baiying said hurriedly, "Brother Pei, I am willing, but what Auntie said just now is indeed right. You know about my past. Don't you really mind?"
"I don't mind!" Pei Yu'an said with pity in his eyes, "You're not the one who made the mistake, how can the blame be put on you?"
Shen Baiying's expression was moved, and the tears that had been in her eyes for a long time could no longer be controlled and fell one by one.
Shen Baiying choked and shouted, “Second Brother Pei.
Pei Yu'an approached and stood in front of her, very close.
The voice whispered gently and asked again: "Bai Ying, will you marry me?"
Shen Baiying nodded: "I, I do."
After getting a positive answer, Pei Yu'an was so excited that he hugged her tightly.
After the soft body was embraced in his arms, Pei Yu'an suddenly came to his senses and realized what he had done. He hurriedly said, "Sorry, I, I was rude."
Shen Baiying blushed slightly and lowered her head: “It’s okay.”
Shen Qianye, who was watching the whole process, said: …
Shen Qianye's face was wooden: "Even if you two are in love, marriage is a big thing and you still need the blessing of your family. Brother Pei, if you really want to marry Bai Ying, convince the aunt first, and then come to my house to propose marriage."
After that, he pulled Shen Baiying away.
The time to go to the capital is getting closer.
Aunt Pei was determined not to agree to the marriage between Pei Yu'an and Shen Baiying.
In the end, Shen Qianye took Shen Baiying back to Dong'an City to visit his mother.
Before leaving, Pei Yu'an still insisted on not going to the capital, and was even more unwilling to resign from his position as a military doctor.
Pei Yanli said that he respected his decision.
Aunt Pei couldn't let go of her second son and was unwilling to go to the capital.
But the house in Xidi City had already been sold. The buyer agreed to let them continue to live there for a while because Pei Yanli was a Beijing official and move in after they left.
At noon that day, the governor of Xidi City, Su, invited the Pei family to a banquet at a restaurant, saying it was a farewell party for them.
Aunt Pei thought of Su Xingmian.
Compared to Shen Baiying, she would rather let Pei Yuan marry Su Xingmian.
But she didn't dare say this openly. After all, Magistrate Su only had one girl, Su Xingmian, who was a legitimate daughter of an official family.
But if the two of them are attracted to each other, she can bring it up.
So, Aunt Pei asked Pei Yu'an to pack up and go to the banquet with her.
At the dinner table, Magistrate Su was polite and courteous.
"Don't be too formal, just treat it as a casual meal between good friends."
