Miss Wu wore a scarlet jacket with gold all over it, and a golden phoenix hairpin with pure gold beads. She was radiant and dazzling like a rich peony flower. Gu Xi wore a water-green silk jacket with dark patterns of broken branches and flowers, and a lotus-sized South China pearl flower. She was graceful and elegant, like a lotus flower reflected in the water, pure and quiet.
The two of them stood side by side, as bright and beautiful as the spring scenery painted by Zhou Zijin.
Compared with them, Yu Tang, who was lying on the soft sedan, was like a blade of grass compared to a pearl.
But why are they standing here so glamorously?
Pei Yan clenched his fist.
The palms of my hands were stinging from the pinching of my nails.
He immediately came to his senses but immediately fell into deeper irritability and even rage.
Reason tells him that he should be patient at this time, but his emotions make him feel that if he has to be patient at this moment, then what is the point of the power, fame and fortune he pursues?
One on the left, one on the right, one cold, one hot, two emotions collided in his heart, forming a storm.
He didn't show it on his face, but the look he gave Miss Wu and Gu Xi was cold, ruthless, deep and chilling.
Miss Wu couldn't help but take a step back. She felt inexplicably panicked and began to slander Yu Tang angrily.
"Look!" She whispered to Gu Xi and turned around, as if hiding behind Gu Xi. "If Miss Yu hadn't fainted like this, how could Master Pei San have come over? Maybe he has been waiting for this opportunity."
Pei Yan and Yu Tang? !
impossible!
Gu Xi shook his head subconsciously, his voice tense: "It shouldn't be! What is Miss Yu's background? Besides, Master Pei San and Master Yu are equals, there is a huge gap in their seniority!"
Miss Wu seemed to gain strength from the slanderous words, and said nonchalantly: "That's because you have too little experience, Miss Gu. Miss Yu is of a low birth, but she is beautiful. Men, no matter how upright he is, after all, they still like beautiful women. Otherwise, who would have given those skinny horses from Yangzhou to? So what if there is a gap in seniority? It's not the same surname. I have seen many families like this. As long as they can marry into a rich family, seniority is nothing? Propriety, righteousness, and integrity are all gone. Otherwise, let's wait and see. Miss Yu will definitely not be satisfied with just being a companion to Mr. Pei!"
Gu Xi’s first reaction was “No”.
Even if what Miss Wu said is true, that won’t work!
She will marry Pei Tong in the future, and Pei Yan's wife will be her aunt.
Any woman present here can be her aunt, even the extremely stupid Sixth Miss Song.
Yu Tang can’t do that!
Not only did this woman oppose her in every way, but she also had a different aura from her. Nothing good ever happened when the two of them were together.
Whenever Gu Xi thought about the possibility that Yu Tang might suppress her, she felt her scalp tingling.
Even if Yu Tang becomes Pei Yan's concubine.
Yu Tang is also Pei Yan's bedmate.
This made her particularly dissatisfied.
She suddenly remembered her first face-to-face contact with Pei Yan.
She looked at the two of them from a distance and felt that Pei Yan was gentle, elegant, and harmless. Only then did she muster up the courage to walk over.
As a result, Yu Tang came, and she saw a Pei Yan who was completely different from her.
Now that she had heard what Miss Wu said, she thought about it carefully again. It was not that she had misjudged the person, but it was obvious that Pei Yan had completely different attitudes towards people and things.
Gu Xi was panicked, thinking that this matter could not go on like this, she had to find a way to stop it!
Who should I look for?
Her mind raced as she thought of Mrs. Pei, who had not yet appeared at the seminar.
Pei Tong once told her that his father and the abbot of Zhaoming Temple were good friends, so he and his mother were protected by his father. The abbot of Zhaoming Temple treated them and Mrs. Pei differently, and personally introduced Master Wuneng to Mrs. Pei. Master Wuneng also performed a ritual for his father for the sake of their deceased father.
Mrs. Pei was treated with such courtesy by Zhaoming Temple, and she would surely be able to help her at this time.
At least, Yu Tang can't get what he wants!
Gu Xi quickly made up her mind. She smiled and said to Miss Wu, "After all, the Yu family and the Pei family are close friends. The eldest wife is unable to attend today's seminar due to her health. She probably doesn't know what happened here. I have to find someone to tell the eldest wife whether to visit the patient in person or send someone to say hello. This way, she can have a plan."
Miss Wu looked at Gu Xi and sneered in her heart.
Miss Gu really looked down on Miss Yu and tried to compete with her in everything.
Her unintentional words exposed Miss Gu's true intentions.
Miss Gu thought she could take advantage of herself, but she didn't know that with just a few words she had actually led her into a trap.
At this time, the two of them are still allies, so it is better to avoid a fallout if possible.
Miss Wu hurriedly whispered, "Then go quickly!"
She wondered whether she should go up to Pei Yan and say hello. After all, they had met each other, and it would be impolite not to say hello. But Pei Yan's eyes were too cold when he looked at her, and she was afraid that if she went up to him at this time, she would get embarrassed.
Of course, if Gu Xi wasn't there, it wouldn't matter if I was just asking for trouble.
Back then, didn’t the eldest son of the Zhang family also look down on her elder sister? But in the end, didn’t he still marry her elder sister out of infatuation?
The thought flashed by, and the opportunity was gone.
Before Miss Wu made a decision, Pei Yan had already walked towards the meditation room.
Gu Xi was stunned and couldn't help asking Miss Wu: "Can you help me see, Master Pei San, are you going to the meditation room? Is there any other place from there?"
Miss Wu was also confused.
Judging from the direction Pei Yan was heading, there was a high probability that he was going to the meditation room.
What was he going to do? The lecture was about to begin, and there were a bunch of old friends from aristocratic families sitting in the Dharma Hall. Was he just going to ignore them?
Pei Yan had been following his father in and out of Zhaoming Temple since he was a child. In terms of relationships, the one who was truly a close friend of the abbot was not his elder brother Pei You, but his father, Old Lady Pei.
He knew Zhaoming Temple as well as his own backyard.
He knew that if he walked through a bamboo forest, turned west, and went through an alley, he would be able to reach the quiet room behind the Dharma Hall, which would allow him to hide his identity from both the people in the Dharma Hall and the people in the temple.
But when he saw the probing looks from Gu Xi and Miss Wu, he curled his lips in disdain and went straight to the meditation room, not even bothering to go to the Dharma Hall to deal with it.
Forget about the two little girls in the inner house. If he is afraid of, cautious about, and avoids even these two people, how can he be in charge of the century-old Pei family and protect the entire family.
Since they want to let them have wild thoughts, then let them have wild thoughts. It would be best if everyone knows how much he values Miss Yu, and they should stay away from Miss Yu in the future.
But Miss Yu has always been in good health, how could she suddenly faint?
Could it be that he was really scared by Peng Shiyi?
She was the one who dared to find help to scare her father's friends, so how could she be afraid of Peng Shiyi?
Pei Yan was puzzled and strode to the meditation room.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Chen had just settled Yu Tang down, and before they had time to help Yu Tang tidy up his clothes, they heard that Pei Yan had rushed over.
The so-called quiet room is a place for the monks in the temple to meditate alone. There are large and small quiet rooms. The quiet room behind the Dharma Hall is mostly used as a temporary resting room for the monks who are invited to give lectures. However, it is a small room. In addition to a Luohan bed, there is a table and two high-backed chairs on the left and right sides of the room, and a mirror stand with a copper basin on the side. Open the door and you can see the scene in the room at a glance.
Mrs. Pei thought this was outrageous and was just about to ask the maids to borrow a screen to block the situation, but Pei Yan walked in.
She quickly stood up and stood in front of Yu Tang, and said anxiously: "Why is Third Uncle here? The doctor accompanying the family will be here soon, and Miss Yu hasn't woken up yet."
Pei Yan was feeling upset at the moment, so his face showed no expression. However, in the eyes of Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Chen, who were not very familiar with him, he became mature, steady, and calm, giving people a sense of solidity and reliability.
"It's okay," he said coldly, as if to comfort the two of them, "I'll take her pulse!"
No matter how strict the inner court was, it was quite tolerant towards outsiders and doctors.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Chen didn't think much about it and immediately made way.
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang carefully and found that her brows were slightly furrowed, beads of sweat were pouring down her face, and her expression was painful. Compared to just now, it was more like she had heatstroke.
But that’s what nightmares are like!
Pei Yan remained calm, sat on the edge of the bed, took Yu Tang's hand, and placed three fingers on her Cun, Guan, and Chi pulses.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Chen were too angry to say a word.
The pulse is rapid, slow and sometimes stops.
This is clearly a fright!
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang in disbelief, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and changed hands again.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Chen looked at Pei Yan blankly with their hearts beating wildly, not daring to say a word.
Still a pulse stimulant.
Pei Yan's expression became even uglier.
Chen couldn't stand it anymore and choked timidly, "Third, Third Master, what happened to our girl?"
Pei Yan looked at Chen who was full of worry, and then at his second sister-in-law who was nervous, and felt that it would be better to wait until the doctor came to treat Miss Yu's illness.
If the doctor diagnosed the same thing as him...
Then they had to keep it a secret - because they would faint from the fright, and the order of the sutra lecture would be disrupted. Not to mention other things, the women in the East Hall of the Dharma Hall would be able to gossip about it for 20 to 30 years.
He had no intention of letting Miss Yu become a topic of conversation for others after dinner!
Pei Yan couldn't understand why Yu Tang was frightened. He said, "Let's wait for the doctor to come and see what he says!"
When Chen heard this, she thought of how the doctors had talked to Yu Wen during the years when she was ill.
Her head buzzed and she passed out before she could say anything.
"Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu!" No matter how capable Mrs. Pei was, she was panicked and hurriedly called the maid who was accompanying her to help.
Everyone was talking at once. Some were suggesting that Mrs. Yu be placed next to Miss Yu, while others were suggesting that the monks in the temple be asked to help carry in a couch. The room was in a complete mess.
Pei Yan looked at her face and said decisively, "Isn't this place not far from the resting place arranged for the Wu and Wei families? Send Mrs. Yu there first, and ask Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wei to help take care of her. After Miss Yu has seen the doctor here, ask the doctor to go over and prescribe some tranquilizers for Mrs. Yu."
This is the best way.
Miss Yu didn't know why she fainted, but Mrs. Yu obviously fainted because of her anxious illness. One didn't know the reason, and the other had a basis, so naturally, the one who didn't know the reason should be followed first.
