Yu Tang quickly calmed down his anger after returning to the compartment.

It was Pei Yan who contributed originally, and he must have his own considerations. She forced Pei Yan to deal with the Li family according to her ideas, and it was understandable that Pei Yan was angry.

She is not related to Pei Yan, so why should Pei Yan take care of her feelings at all times?

On the contrary, she had received a lot of favors from Pei Yan, and no matter what, she should repay him when the time comes.

Yu Tang began to worry that the Pei family would suffer losses.

One of the main reasons why the third prince dared to spend his fortune in Jiangnan was that the emperor had difficulty in having children. He had three queens and seven princes, but only the second and third princes survived. The emperor listened to the Taoists and felt that he was destined to be alone and unlucky, and it was not suitable for him to live with his children or to establish a crown prince early. Therefore, for many years, the two princes lived outside the palace, and the emperor had not established a crown prince. Although the second prince was the eldest son, he had no son, which inevitably made many people with ulterior motives ready to make a move.

In the previous life, three years later, there was indeed a crisis - the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and was ready to appoint a crown prince. As a result, the ministers in the court felt that the third prince had a smart grandson who was more suitable to be appointed as the crown prince. The third prince himself also thought so. During the emperor's serious illness, he secretly met with foreign ministers many times, while the second prince stayed by the emperor's side to take care of him. As a result, after a sudden shock, all 24 government offices began to prepare supplies for the national funeral. Unexpectedly, the emperor took the "magic pill" of the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain and inexplicably recovered.

He lived another four years.

The second prince became the final winner.

This incident will definitely have an impact on the Pei family.

Of course, the Pei family in her previous life also died peacefully and outlived her, but if Pei Yan could know the outcome in advance, he would definitely be calmer and more determined, and would know what choice was best for the Pei family.

She had to tell Pei Yan about this.

But how could she tell Pei Yan?

That she was reborn?

She was afraid that Pei Yan would lock her up as if she were crazy.

Or they may think that she is possessed by evil spirits and ask Taoist priests or monks to perform rituals on her.

Yu Tang was very distressed. He had originally planned to copy Buddhist scriptures with his mother, but he just couldn't calm down.

Chen didn't know what she was worried about, so she asked her, "What's wrong with you? If you don't want to copy the Buddhist scriptures, don't copy them for now. Mr. Pei is a kind and generous person, and he won't care about these trivial matters."

Yu Tang nodded reluctantly, still trying hard to recall the events of her past life, hoping to find something that could remind Pei Yan. She was so sleepless that she woke up the next morning in a daze and didn't say a word. When she went to greet Mr. Pei, she almost bumped into Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji treated her like a family member. Not only did she not blame her, but she also helped her and said with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? If you are not feeling well, don't come here. Madam Yang San said that she felt a little unwell yesterday afternoon, and started coughing and having a fever when she went home at night. Today, she sent a maid to inform Old An. Miss Xu also stayed in the bridal chamber to take care of Madam Yang San."

The implication is that she doesn't have to come.

Yu Tang was surprised.

When she broke up with Miss Xu yesterday, Miss Xu didn't say anything. How come Mrs. Yang San fell ill early this morning?

Seeing that no one was around, Aunt Ji whispered in her ear, "Today, the Song family, the Peng family, the Wu family, and some of the gentry from Lin'an will gather together. Maybe Madam Yang San finds it too noisy."

Yu Tang was grateful for Aunt Ji's protection. She nodded gently and said, "I understand." After greeting Old Master Pei, she pretended to cough several times. Old Master Pei was very nervous and immediately asked her what happened. She also asked someone to invite a doctor to check her out: "Don't be like Madam Yang San. I heard that you two have been taking walks together these days."

Chen was also a little worried and took Yu Tang back to the room.

Yu Tang hurriedly comforted Chen: "I'm fine, I just don't want to deal with those wealthy families."

Chen thought this was a good idea, but she was not happy with Yu Tang pretending to be sick.

Yu Tang said, "Isn't there anything I can do? When the doctor comes, he'll know I'm fine. I just want to find an excuse to stay in the room."

At this point, Chen had no choice but to compromise.

The doctor came and examined her, and felt that she was not ill and might have been too tired in the past few days. He prescribed some pills to replenish her energy and spirit, and then asked Leizhi to take her to reply to Mr. Pei Laoan's letter.

Chen felt bad and followed Leizhi to thank Mr. Pei. But just as she left, Ah Fu came and said that Miss Xu heard that she was not feeling well and wanted to come to visit her.

Yu Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and politely declined, but Miss Xu still ran over.

"Oh, you should just take a good rest." She winked at Yu Tang, "There are so many people outside, it's messy, you'd better stay in your room."

Yu Tang smiled and replied.

Chen came back and said, "Mr. Pei was relieved to hear that you were fine. He told you to rest in the house. Don't go over today. We'll talk about it at the lecture tomorrow."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

Miss Xu pulled Chen's sleeve and said, "Can you let Sister Yu accompany me? The Third Madam is not feeling well and is resting most of the time. I'm quite bored being alone, so let Sister Yu go and keep me company."

Chen always liked Miss Xu's cheerfulness and liveliness, so she agreed immediately and told Yu Tang: "You should stay with Miss Xu and don't run around, so as not to offend the guests of the Pei family and embarrass the Pei family."

Yu Tang looked at Miss Xu, who was smiling slyly, and had no choice but to agree. But on the way to Miss Xu's residence, he turned hostile and said, "Tell me the truth, what are you going to do? Otherwise, I'm going to see Mrs. Pei. She was worried that I was sick, so she hired a doctor for me. I haven't thanked her in person yet!"

"How can you be so petty!" Miss Xu said angrily, "I really just want you to be alone, don't be so ignorant of good people. The eldest young lady of the Peng family likes to meddle in other people's business. Mrs. Pei hasn't shown up, don't you think it's strange? It is said that the eldest young lady of the Peng family used to be a close friend of Mrs. Pei. She must be going to visit Mrs. Pei, and she might even say a few unpleasant words. Why do you have to get involved in their dispute?"

This is also what Yu Tang finds strange. She asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Pei? She is so determined to leave the Pei family and looks like she wants to draw a clear line between them. Doesn't she plan to let the eldest and second young masters recognize her as her own family members in the future?"

Otherwise, no matter how Mrs. Pei draws a clear line between herself and the Pei family, in the eyes of others, they are still a family. What is the point of doing this?

Miss Xu chuckled and said, "You still can't leave me, right?"

Yu Tang glanced at Miss Xu and said coldly: "I'm not going to leave Lin'an City, so what does it have to do with you?"

Miss Xu was disappointed, but she couldn't help but tell Yu Tang about Mrs. Pei: "Her father made his fortune by relying on Yue's family, so their family is closer to their mother's family. Mrs. Pei is the same. She always feels that her mother's family is closer to her than her husband's family, and that her mother's family is more powerful than her husband's family. In addition, Mrs. Pei is not someone who can be fooled at will, so the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is very tense. In my opinion, Pei Xiaoguang is right. The eldest master of the Pei family has passed away, and the capital is in chaos. At this time, the Pei family should keep a low profile. It is better to act in a low profile, rather than rushing to catch up and urging the children to take the imperial examination. In his previous life, Master Pei had offended many people. When a person dies, it is like a light going out, so some things are not pursued. But if these descendants in the future generations do not give in at all and insist on competing with those people, why don't they root them out? Are they going to give you a chance to be reborn! So it is said that Mrs. Pei's family tradition is not good, and she is also very radical in her behavior.

Besides, the Pei family is not like the Yang family.

The Yang family has no foundation. If they don't seize the opportunity to work hard and become stronger, they will have no place in the future.

The Pei family has been rich for generations, and now there are three old men who have made great achievements, so there is no need to be so anxious. "

Yu Tang felt that what Miss Xu said made sense.

Miss Xu continued, "That's why I said that it's wrong for her to put the children's fame first at this time. Instead of spending time and effort on this, it's better to let the two young masters build good relationships with the uncles. After all, the relationship with the uncle's family is there. Even if they don't visit, the old lady and the old lady will not break it. The uncles are different. The two young masters didn't grow up in the Pei family. They are not the most promising children of the Pei family. Their father is gone and their mother is not liked. Why should those uncles take care of them?"

Yu Tang asked: "Who is the most promising disciple of the Pei family?"

"Pei Chan and Pei Bo!" Miss Xu said without thinking, "Pei Chan's mother is from the Qian family of Qiantang, just like Pei Laoan. Pei Bo's mother is a cousin of the second wife's mother. They are both from the Jin family of Jinling. The Qian family is of course a great family, and the Jin family has been a family of farmers and scholars for generations. In the early years, when our Xu family was still in Jinling, the two families had an intermarriage. One of my great-aunts had the surname Jin. But later, the Jin family did not have many children, so they gradually had less contact. Pei Bo is also very good at studying, but the Pei family is low-key and does not show off."

Yu Tang didn't know whether Pei Bo was good or not, but she knew that Pei Chan passed the imperial examination together with Pei Tong five years later.

At least it proves that Miss Xu didn't lie.

The two came to the compartment where Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San lived.

Mrs. Yang San met Yu Tang with a rosy face and exquisite makeup.

Yu Tang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Even if Mrs. Yang was pretending, she should at least put on some appearance. She acted like she wasn't afraid of anyone knowing. Isn't that too... arrogant!

Mrs. Yang San seemed to have read her mind and said with a smile, "You see through it but don't say it. Everyone who comes here is a shrewd person. I don't want to cause trouble, so I won't hate others!"

Such an open and honest behavior was refreshing to Yu Tang, and he gained some insights and yearned for it.

Her heart suddenly calmed down.

After leaving Mrs. Yang San's chamber, Yu Tang went to Miss Xu's inner room.

Miss Xu pulled her to look at her perfume: "I told you the other day to pick out a few scents, but you got caught up in this and that and delayed this important matter. Come on and pick out which scent or bottle you like, and I'll give it to you."
