"When the new daughter-in-law of the Pei family returns to the ancestral home for the first time, the Pei family always prepares gifts." The old lady of the Pei family said as she took off the jade bracelet on her wrist. "Yucheng brought you back in a hurry and without any prior notification. I didn't have time to prepare anything. This bracelet will be considered a meeting gift."
The texture is transparent and delicate, and the color is pure and uniform.
Even though Ji Yuqi doesn't understand jade.
However, Ji Yuqi knew that the imperial green jade bracelet handed over by the old lady of the Pei family was worth a lot of money at just one glance.
Ji Yuqi was a little scared.
I immediately pushed the jade bracelet back out of reflex.
"This gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
The old lady of the Pei family insisted on putting the jade bracelet on her wrist: "Take it, this is not only the rule of the Pei family, but also a little token of my appreciation."
Ji Yuqi was extremely anxious.
What's her relationship with Pei Yucheng?! How could she accept this gift?!
Ji Yuqi subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Pei Yucheng.
She wanted to ask for help.
However, Pei Yucheng stood there, his face as delicate as if carved by a knife, still without any emotion.
Black eyes, deep and dark.
Ji Yuqi had no idea whether he agreed with her accepting the bracelet or not.
Finally, during the shoving and pushing, Nanny Su, who was still serving the old lady of the Pei family, spoke up, "Miss Ji, since the Buddha insisted on giving you this bracelet, you should accept it and don't offend her. This bracelet is the Buddha's dowry and has been with her all her life."
"This..." Ji Yuqi was particularly embarrassed, and she looked at Pei Yucheng again.
Pei Yucheng just pursed his thin lips.
Ji Yuqi was a little confused. He didn't understand what he meant by pursing his lips.
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yuqi decided to accept it.
"Thank you, Lord Buddha."
Ji Yuqi was thinking in his mind: I'll take it now, and then return it to Pei Yucheng when there's no one around.
As a result, as soon as she took the bracelet, Pei Huaijin, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, snorted in a mocking tone: "Ha~, I thought you really wouldn't accept it, but I didn't expect... to be so hypocritical... Do you know that this bracelet is more valuable than other gifts..."
"Shut up!" Before Pei Huaijin could finish his words, the old lady of the Pei family yelled at him angrily.
"..." Pei Huaijin was stunned at first. When he recovered, he said angrily, "Grandma, why are you yelling at me because of an outsider again?! Are you disgusted with me?! If you are disgusted, do you want me to leave?!"
"Get lost!" the old lady of the Pei family said neatly.
"!!!" Pei Huaijin was furious. When his handsome face was distorted and he was about to go upstairs, the housekeeper came trotting out of the kitchen.
At this moment, it is already 12:45 in the capital time.
As early as 11:30, lunch had already been served at the ancestral home.
According to the schedule, Pei Yucheng will not be back until the afternoon.
So lunch didn't wait for Pei Yucheng.
The butler first asked Pei Yucheng about lunch, and then said that the kitchen had closed and it would take a while before lunch could be prepared.
Pei Yucheng said: "Just make simple preparations, and let the kitchen prepare today's New Year's Eve dinner and the funeral ceremony the day after tomorrow."
The old lady from the Pei family said, "This is Qiqi's first time back, so why keep it simple? Ask the kitchen to prepare it immediately, and quickly."
Pei Huaijin, who had already walked to the stairs angrily, said hurriedly after hearing this, "Grandma, you said it wasn't easy for my brother to marry a wife. He finally brought his wife home, and he asked the kitchen staff to prepare lunch for him?! He asked his wife to cook for him. What's the purpose of a man marrying a wife?! Don't just accept gifts without doing anything. Aside from childbirth, you can skip the hassle, but washing clothes, cooking, back massages, and foot washing are all essential."
