"So what?! You don't think the young master would marry her because he's pregnant, do you? Don't be ridiculous. You came to work at the Imperial Mansion late, but if you knew what she did in the past, you wouldn't have such an idea."
"What she did before?! What does that mean?!"
"In the beginning, she was the one who didn't want to enter the Pei family and insisted on following the Lu family. If that's the case, why don't you stop pestering our young master now? She doesn't even consider her own status. When the Ji family was at its peak, she was a good match for our young master. He had already condescended to her, which was unfair enough. But she actually complained that our young master's status was not high enough and the family's assets were not rich enough. Ha~, as early as ten years ago, the Pei family's hidden assets alone were enough to overwhelm the four major families. Where does she get the nerve to speak so arrogantly?! She has absolutely no sense at all!! And now, probably because she understands the true financial strength of the Pei family, she turned around and tried to seduce our young master again. But it's too late. The young master just doesn't like her."
Listening to the maid's incessant and increasingly outrageous chatter, another maid trembled a little. She advised again: "Really, don't say any more."
If I continue talking, I will violate the Pei family's taboo.
I'm afraid I'll be expelled from the Pei family.
Although they were servants in the Pei family, they could not find a second salary of nearly 20,000 yuan per month in the entire imperial capital.
"That's what I'm saying. Ji Yuqi must think that by giving birth to a son for the young master, she can secure her position as the head mistress of the Pei family. She's so confident in the Yu Mansion now, probably because of her son's influence. But I want to say, forget it! The young master likes Miss Ning, so the position of the young master's wife naturally belongs to Miss Ning. The young master likes the little prince now because Miss Ning doesn't have any children yet, and there is no comparison at the moment. Once Miss Ning also gives birth to a son for the young master, it will be unclear who is the legitimate and who is the illegitimate in the Pei family."
This time, the other maid wasn't just trembling.
I'm totally scared.
The question of whether the Pei family's heir is legitimate or not came up without any hesitation.
Making irresponsible remarks about the Pei family's bloodline is a serious crime.
This is the rhythm of not wanting to live.
After hearing what the maid said, Ji Yuqi's already pale face turned even uglier...
…
As usual, Pei Yucheng got up at seven in the morning and went to the gym.
At exactly eight o'clock, after washing up, dressing and going downstairs for breakfast, Pei Quyan was still sitting in the restaurant waiting for him.
Pei Quyan did not eat first, but was wearing glasses and reading a newspaper.
"Father." Pei Yucheng went to the restaurant and called respectfully.
Seeing this, Liu Tong, who was standing by and serving, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out the main seat chair for Pei Yucheng.
"By the way, where's Huai Jin?" Pei Quyan took off his glasses and handed them to the maid next to him. "Where has he been hanging around again? He's nowhere to be seen during Chinese New Year. He's really becoming more and more unruly and presumptuous."
Liu Tong, who was helping Pei Yucheng serve porridge, began to tremble slightly when he heard Pei Quyan finally mention Pei Huaijin. His hands holding the porcelain sleeve and porridge spoon began to tremble slightly.
Liu Tong subconsciously glanced at the host.
Pei Yucheng didn't react much.
Pei Quyan didn't notice Liu Tong's reaction and continued to talk to himself, "As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Huai Jin has been spoiled since he was a child. He has always acted recklessly and lawless. As his elder brother, you should take good care of him for me when necessary."
Pei Yucheng sat there, calm and composed.
Liu Tong's heart was trembling. He wanted to tell Pei Quyan: Master, I have disciplined him well for you.
With Shi Pei's methods, after a night, the second young master might only have one breath left.
