Pei Yan didn't care what Yin Hao did. Anyway, he had given his orders and the people below would do it. As for how Yin Hao did it, that was Yin Hao's business. He was now sitting in the hall of the courtyard where Yu Tang lived, drinking tea and talking to Yu Tang about the marriage between the Gu family and the Yin family.

"You should have known this already, right?" he said, picking up the covered bowl and gently brushing the floating leaves on the water. "The Gu family should send someone to discuss the marriage with the Yin family tomorrow. It's ridiculous that Gu Chaoyang is planning to hold a wedding ceremony at our house. I've already told Second Brother Yin that I can pay and send people, but he can't hold a wedding ceremony at our house. What will our ancestors think? I think Second Brother Yin is so busy that he can't even tell what's important and what's not."

Yu Tang just sat there listening with a smile on his face, without saying anything.

She vaguely felt that Pei Yan seemed quite proud of this matter.

But this is Gu Chang's engagement, why is he so proud?

She couldn't figure it out, nor could she understand Pei Yan's feelings, so she just kept silent.

Pei Yan was a little depressed.

In the past, he always listened to Yu Tang. He just said one wrong thing, and he had already apologized, but she was still lukewarm to him. Isn't she a little too angry?

However, when she returns to Lin'an and sees the house full of gifts, she probably won't be angry anymore, right?

Thinking of this, Pei Yan perked up again and asked, "Has anything strange happened to you in the past two days?"

Yu Tang shook his head.

Pei Yan muttered to himself in confusion, "It shouldn't be like this! After I drove Peng Shiyi out of Lin'an, he said nothing openly, but he was very angry and even 'accidentally' killed a servant beside him. Li Duan is still in the capital without any movement... When did these two people know each other? How did they get together?"

Yu Tang lowered his head and said softly, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly! Now when I think about that dream again, I always feel it is very absurd. The old people also say that if you think about something during the day, you will dream about it at night. Maybe I was frightened when I first saw Peng Shiyi, and I had a lot of imaginations."

At this time, it was Pei Yan who didn't believe it. He said, "If it's just a fantasy, it's too powerful."

Only then did Yu Tang deeply feel that people really should not tell lies, otherwise you will go further and further on this road and eventually lose your direction.

She could only say: "There are only thieves who can survive for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Some things should just be left to fate!"

Pei Yan glanced at Yu Tang with dissatisfaction.

What's wrong with this little girl? The few times I saw her, she always looked weak and her words were very depressed.

It seems that what Tao Qing said makes sense. She didn't even realize his apology.

It should be more obvious.

Pei Yan couldn't help but cheer for himself secretly.

Fortunately, he was smart and sent someone to follow Yu Tang, and bought everything she liked and sent it back to Lin'an.

She should be able to understand his intention when she sees those things.

Maybe she will be happy and come to thank him.

As Pei Yan thought about it, Yu Tang's excited expression appeared in his mind, and his brows relaxed naturally.

He decided to forgive Yu Tang generously and encouraged her, "What you said makes sense. However, if we know who the thief is and still let him go, it would be too easy for the thieves. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of these two people. Just follow my arrangements, and I will make sure you are safe and nothing will happen to you."

Yu Tang believed this.

But she could sense Pei Yan's mood, which was sometimes gloomy and sometimes rainy. She didn't know what had happened, and her heart was a little shaky. She could only say, "With your protection, I will definitely be fine."

Pei Yan said "hmm" with great satisfaction, thinking that he should continue talking to Yu Tang about Gu Chang's marriage, but he was a little worried that it was not good to talk about others behind their backs.

But when has he ever taken anyone's preferences into consideration?

He still didn't realize that he was different. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to just talk about Gu Chang in a Spring and Autumn style.

"Gu Chang's current situation is still quite difficult. Marrying into the Yin family will be good for his career." He smiled slightly. "However, his mentor Sun Gao always wanted to marry his daughter to him. He was ambiguous and never gave the Sun family a clear answer. After all, the Sun family is marrying off their daughter, so they have to be more reserved. In addition, Sun Gao is a bit stubborn and self-righteous, and they think that Gu Chang's family is not suitable for him. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to marry another girl. The reason why the Gu family had not proposed marriage was probably related to Gu Chang's unreasonable father. Unexpectedly, Sun Gao's behavior gave Gu Chang a warning. This time, Gu Chang got engaged to the Yin family under the banner of the elders, using the excuse of "parents' orders cannot be disobeyed". Sun Gao suffered a loss this time, and he might have to turn against Gu Chang in advance.

"Yin Hao even came to me specifically for this and asked me if there was any way I could help Gu Chang.

"I thought that our two families were relatives after all, and Sun Gao's anger was inevitable since he gave advice to Yin Hao. Moreover, Gu Chang did not explicitly reject the Sun family before, so the news spread in the capital. If Gu Chang did not suffer a little injustice or even humiliation at this time, others would not sympathize with Gu Chang. Then Gu Chang would have the reputation of being ungrateful.

"Only by letting everyone see Sun Gao's tyranny can they understand Gu Chang's suffering!"

Yu Tang felt that she didn't understand this kind of thing.

She didn't understand why Pei Yan told her all this, nor did she understand why Gu Chang wanted to use his marriage as a bargaining chip, and she didn't understand what the point of them being so busy was.

She can only feel pity for Miss Sun.

I wonder what kind of person I will marry in this life? Will my husband be loyal to me?

Yu Tang just nodded.

Pei Yan said "tsk" in his heart.

Why is it that this little girl is so hard to appease?

He sighed in his heart, and at this moment he somewhat missed Miss Xu - if Miss Xu was here, and there was someone beside her to pass on messages, the girl probably wouldn't be so depressed.

However, the Yin and Gu families are about to get engaged, and the busiest person should be Mrs. Yang San. Miss Xu is the future daughter-in-law of the Yin family, and the Xu and Yin families are in-laws. Mrs. Yang San is unfamiliar with the place, so she will probably ask Miss Xu to help. Miss Xu probably has no time to pay attention to her daughter.

The thought flashed through my mind.

Pei Yan's expression froze slightly.

His... um... little girl...

That's really the case, isn't it?

This is the person he has always wanted to protect.

But saying that she is his little girl... seems a little bit hot-headed... and a little bit improper.

Pei Yan coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and suppressed all the messy things in his heart. He couldn't wait to talk about Miss Xu: "She must be very busy these days. If you feel bored, how about I let Qingyuan accompany you to live in the house in Phoenix Mountain? It's far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with large tracts of forests and green mountains. It's very suitable for living in the summer..."

Even though Yu Tang avoided the question again, he still felt Pei Yan's kindness.

But she came here to accompany Miss Xu. How could she leave Miss Xu alone and go to his house in Phoenix Mountain to play just because Miss Xu was too busy?

She couldn't help but glance at Pei Yan and said, "Miss Xu told me about this matter. She invited me to go with her to help Madam Yang San."

Miss Xu's original words were that this opportunity was rare, and knowing how families like the Yin and Gu held weddings, when Yu Tang encountered any happy events in the family in the future, she would know what to do.

Yu Tang will be the head of the family in the future, and the ability to handle interpersonal relationships and weddings and funerals is one of the important factors to measure whether you are qualified.

Pei Yan objected as soon as he heard it.

He said, "If they don't have any manpower, why don't they come to me to borrow some? Are they going to use you as a laborer?"

He doesn't even want to use people, so why should he be ordered around by others?

Pei Yan just thought about it, and his heart felt like a fire filled with oil, burning fiercely and emitting smoke uncontrollably.

"No!" He said forcefully, "I think she is used to ordering Yin Mingyuan around, and she thinks it's natural to use anyone she catches. You go and tell her later that no, let Qingyuan go. Tell her that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and you can't help them with their affairs, so you have to stay in Phoenix Mountain for a few days. Move back after they finish their work here!"

How could Yu Tang agree?

Seeing Pei Yan's face was so tense and furious that it looked like it was about to freeze, she knew that he was furious. But she couldn't understand why he was so angry. Besides, Miss Xu was doing this for her own good. She really wanted to take a good look at how and why these wealthy families treated each other in such a way, so that she could try to take over these family affairs in the future.

She has thought it through and will use it as a practice hand for her nephew's first birthday party next year.

I've also figured out how to convince the elders at home.

Pei Yan suddenly ran out and interfered.

It was still a completely unreasonable interruption.

Yu Tang also thought that if Pei Yan was just dissatisfied with Miss Xu, she should try to mediate.

She was a little puzzled and asked, "Ms. Xu meant well, why are you so angry?"

Pei Yan was stumped.

Why is he so angry?

Doesn't he want others to give her a bad look?

Why doesn't he want others to show her respect?

Is it because he has never treated her like this?

He didn't treat his little niece that way either.

But he did not get furious because his little niece had suffered any injustice.

Pei Yan's heart began to beat wildly.

He felt that his attitude towards Yu Tang was very different from that towards others.

Tolerating her bullying, tolerating her nonsense, tolerating her aggressive behavior...even so, he was still afraid that she would be bullied by others.

Looking at how eagerly she chased after Lu Xin, is she the kind of person who wouldn't fight back when being bullied?

But he was afraid that she would be bullied by Gu Xi!

He suddenly felt confused, his head was buzzing and he had no idea what he was thinking. His whole body was stiff and he looked as pale as the bottom of a pot.

Yu Tang looked a little apprehensive.

Could it be that she has disturbed the hornet's nest again?

Pei Yan is a really hard person to please. You never know when you will hit his sore spot or make him laugh.

I don’t know when Miss Xu and her friends will return to Beijing.

She's a little homesick.

I want to go back early.
