With this thought, Yu Tang felt even more depressed.

She poured Pei Yan another cup of tea and whispered, "Ms. Xu invited me sincerely, and they really don't have many people there. I also agreed. I won't go to Phoenix Mountain."

This was a tactful way of rejecting Pei Yan's proposal.

Under normal circumstances, Pei Yan would definitely be unhappy and try to make Yu Tang do what he said. But now, he seemed to suddenly discover the feelings he had usually hidden deep in his heart, especially since the object of his affection was a little girl whom he had always regarded as his junior... Unfortunately, he had always thought that he was upright and innocent. Even if his status was prominent, he was just a young man who encountered such a situation for the first time. How could he not panic?

How could he hear clearly what Yu Tang said?

Pei Yan just wanted to go back to his room and think about this matter carefully.

Was he just thinking wrong for a moment, or had he already fallen in love with her without realizing it...

"We'll talk about this later." Pei Yan stood up hastily, and said in an unclear tone, "I'm going back first. Don't leave the house. Let Grandma Tao and Qing Yuan accompany you."

No matter how much Yu Tang thought of Pei Yan, she could feel the protection that Pei Yan gave her.

She never knew how to refuse other people's kindness.

Yu Tang nodded, thinking that if Miss Xu wanted to go out today for the marriage between the Gu and Yin families, she would just refuse. However, when she raised her eyes, she found that Pei Yan had already walked out of the hall quickly as if escaping.

What's wrong with him?

Yu Tang was a little worried.

He looked a little unhappy just now.

Did something bad happen?

Yu Tang made wild guesses, thinking that Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu usually took good care of her. Since they were very busy, she might as well go over earlier to lend a hand.

She changed her clothes and prepared to go out with Qing Yuan.

But when she reached the door, she remembered Pei Yan's instructions, turned around and called Grandma Tao, and then went to where Madam Yang San and her family lived.

Mrs. Yang was dictating the return gift to the Gu family, while Miss Xu was sitting at the desk next to her writing a gift list.

Seeing Yu Tang coming in, the two of them stopped what they were doing at the same time, smiled and invited her to come over and sit down.

Ah Fu quickly brought her an embroidered cushion.

Yu Tang thanked them and sat down, waiting for the maid to serve tea and snacks. He then asked Madam Yang San and Miss Xu with a smile, "Is there anything I can do for you? Just tell me!"

Mrs. Yang San spoke quickly and said with a smile, "It's too polite to say 'order'. We are very grateful that you can come and help us." Then she didn't bother to be polite with her and said, "We were originally planning to celebrate the wedding here, so we wanted to ask you to help us keep an eye on the maids who come and go. Although we have decided to celebrate the wedding in the newly bought house, the newly bought maids have not had time to learn the rules and regulations. I'm afraid we have to borrow helpers from the Pei family. I wrote a list for you to take a look. When the time comes, please bring Qingyuan to help us keep an eye on the maids."

Yu Tang took the list and looked at it. It stated how many people were needed in the tea and wine room, how many people were needed at the stove, how many people were needed inside and outside the banquet... There were so many things in total, and it seemed that they needed to borrow about a hundred people.

She was secretly shocked and asked, "How big is the new house?"

"I don't know yet!" Mrs. Yang San laughed, "The fourth steward helped to find it. However, according to the ratio of two or three people serving one person, I still think it's a little too little."

Miss Xu also said, "There's nothing we can do about it. I don't think there are many people in this house, so we can only make do with this for now."

As the three of them were talking, Yu Tang soon stopped thinking about Pei Yan.

Pei Yan returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the Zen chair, with a sullen face and no words.

The people serving him were trembling with fear, not knowing what was going on.

There was also a clever servant who ran to inform the fourth steward.

The fourth manager was so frightened that he didn't even bother looking for a dentist and just ran over.

Ah Cha was standing outside the door scratching his head and rubbing his cheeks. When he saw the Fourth Steward coming, he ran over as if he had seen a savior, and choked up in a low voice, "Fourth Steward, please think of a solution! The Third Elder has driven us all out, and has been staying in the room alone. No one has come in to serve us for quite some time. Look, we haven't even had time to serve you tea and snacks!"

The fourth steward glanced sullenly at the servant who was following A-Cha with a tray in his hand. The servant lowered his head in fear.

Because the Third Elder rarely lives here, the people in this house have no chance to curry favor with him even if they want to. He was brought to the Third Elder by the Fourth Steward after he came, and their whole family is still hoping that he can make a name for himself!

The fourth steward said in a deep voice: "Who did the third elder meet before?"

Ah Cha said: "Miss Yu."

"Two people..." The fourth manager looked at A Cha seriously.

Ah Cha was unaware and said, "We don't know what the two of them said. The Third Elder didn't let me follow him. I only know that the Third Elder was very happy when he left, but had a stern face when he came out. After he returned to the house, he sat down and chased us all out without saying a word..."

In other words, the problem lies with Miss Yu.

At this time, the fourth steward realized that it was a big mistake not to arrange a steward nanny for Miss Yu.

But it's too late to make arrangements now.

He thought about it, called his confidant, gave him two pieces of silver, and asked him to find a way to meet Shuang Tao: "Find out what the Third Elder and Miss Yu said?"

The confidant ran away.

The fourth steward could only guard outside the door.

The early summer sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky. The confidant of the fourth steward wiped his sweat and reported: "Shuangtao followed Miss Yu to the third wife of Yang. At that time, Qinglian was on duty with Miss Yu and the third master."

That means you won’t find out anything!

The fourth manager was extremely anxious but he could only wait.

The agent took the Pei family's steward to look at several houses. The steward felt that each had its own advantages and disadvantages, and secretly ranked them in his mind. He was going to report to the fourth steward and bring Yin Hao to look at them in the afternoon to make a decision on the house. Who knew that Yin Hao was impatient and got impatient after waiting for a while, so he went to find the fourth steward in person. He just happened to run into the steward who was replying to the letter.

When Yin Hao saw that the Fourth Manager had not gone at all, he became extremely angry and went to find Pei Yan without saying a word.

Didn't everyone meet right in front of Pei Yan's door?

Yin Hao was stunned and asked the fourth steward: "What happened to you?"

The fourth steward was at a loss, but when he saw Yin Hao, he immediately showed hope and told Yin Hao what had happened. Of course, he kept the fact that Pei Yan had met Yu Tang a secret. Finally, he asked Yin Hao worriedly, "Did something happen to Eunuch Wang?"

In the opinion of the Fourth Steward, only such things could make Pei Yan show his joy or anger on his face. As for Yu Tang, it was possible, but this time it was more like a coincidence.

Yin Hao scoffed at the fourth steward's judgment.

He said, "Your Third Elder can even challenge Old Master Zhang whenever he wants, so how could he be afraid of Wang Qibao?"

Yin Hao asked about the incident again in detail, but found nothing unusual. He reviewed the past few days and still found nothing that was worthy of causing trouble for Pei Yan. He then said to the fourth steward, "I'll go and take a look!"

The fourth steward was so grateful that he sent Yin Hao to the door.

Yin Hao didn't hesitate to push the door open and walked in. He saw Pei Yan sitting cross-legged on a Zen chair, like an old monk in meditation, with his eyes closed. His wooden expression strangely revealed a hint of frustration. He heard no movement, but his eyes and eyebrows didn't even move.

This Pei Xiaguang!

The last time I saw him like this was when the eldest son of the Pei family suddenly died.

What big thing happened to him this time?

Yin Hao casually pulled a chair and sat opposite Pei Yan, saying, "Okay, there's no one else here, just say whatever you want to say!"

Pei Yan didn't even blink, and said weakly: "I don't want to say anything, and you don't have to ask. I want to be alone."

Yin Hao called out "Hey!" and said, "Do you think I want to stay with you? I'm out of options, right? Hundreds of people from your family are waiting outside, and no one will care if I want to do something. Otherwise, I'll see what you think!"

"Isn't it just Gu Chang's little thing?" Pei Yan opened his eyes, looked at Yin Hao with contempt, and said, "If he can't even handle the mess of the Gu family, then there's no point in having such a son-in-law!"

Yin Hao was so angry that he started laughing and said, "Didn't you push for this marriage?"

"Aren't we victims?" Pei Yan began to stab, "His sister will marry into our family in a few days. Whatever your family can get involved in, we will get involved in as well. Besides, it's not too late for you to regret the marriage now, unlike that idiot in our family, who jumped in headfirst and can't get out, and thinks he picked up a treasure."

Yin Hao didn't know what to say.

Pei Yan was still unhappy and wanted to continue to laugh at Gu Chang, but suddenly he felt that it was meaningless.

Although we still don’t know how Yu Tang got to know Gu Chang in the dream, Gu Chang must have had some thoughts about Yu Tang, otherwise he wouldn’t have spoken to Yu Tang so enthusiastically.

Maybe Gu Chang couldn't get what he wanted, so he had bad thoughts about Yu Tang, which is why Yu Tang dreamed about him.

Pei Yan guessed with some malice.

No wonder he felt particularly uncomfortable when he saw Gu Chang and Yu Tang talking.

In fact, the rift between him and Yu Tang was caused by Gu Chang. If he had not been so passionate about Yu Tang, he would not have felt uncomfortable, nor would he have ridiculed Yu Tang without knowing it. Yu Tang would not have felt wronged and been angry with him.

Gu Chang was also very sensible and agreed to the Yin family's marriage proposal, otherwise...

What else?

Can he still fight with Gu Chang? !

Thinking of this, he became a little restless.

Could it be that Yu Tang knows about Gu Chang's little thoughts about her?

So was she in a bad mood because I had made her angry? Or was it because Gu Chang was marrying into the Yin family?

no!

He has to ask.

Pei Yan knew clearly that Yin Hao was here, he should have been patient and could have left Yin Hao to the Fourth Steward and waited for him to go buy the house before going to Yu Tang. However, he could not wait even for a few breaths and had to get things clear at this moment.

Pei Yan slipped on his shoes and was about to go out.

Yin Hao grabbed her and said, "What do you mean? You left when I came, and you came back when I left? I didn't offend you, did I? Why do you look like you've eaten dynamite?"
