Yu Tang cried out in surprise.

She had been in the capital for some time and had attended several gatherings of ladies from outside the capital, so she knew what the situation of the Yang family was like in the capital.

If the eldest and second eldest masters of the Yang family refused to hire him, it would be a fatal blow to the Yang family.

It is even possible that the Yang family will never recover from this.

You know, it is through the efforts of several generations that the Yang family has achieved what it has today.

She said, "I heard Madam Li mention it once. It's mainly because of the Sun family's troubles. The Peng family has also gained a lot of benefits from it. If we can avoid interfering, we should not interfere. If you have anything to do, you can just let me do it. We can't let the Yang family threaten us like this."

But she couldn't think of a better way to get rid of the threat from the Yang family.

Pei Yan lazily hummed and said, "It is absolutely impossible to have an alliance. Although I have not thought of a way, it is not completely impossible." At this point, he raised his head from Yu Tang's shoulder and asked her with a smile, "You said that Gu Xi told you about the Yang family. How did the Yang family find her? What did she tell you specifically?"

Yu Tang told Pei Yan how the Yang family invited herself and the second wife to visit, what she and the second wife thought, how they sent Gu Xi to visit the Yang family, and what Gu Xi said to her.

Pei Yan thought for a moment and said, "Do you know when Gu Xi left Yang's house and when he returned home?"

Yu Tang didn't ask this.

She said, "That's easy. I'll just ask the driver at home and find out."

Pei Yan simply told Yu Tang the information he needed: "I want to know if Gu Chang knows about this."

You know, Sun Gao's accident was caused by Gu Chang's tip-off.

If we were to say who was the most nervous, it would probably be Gu Chang.

Gu Xi often unconsciously reveals the tone of "I have my brother to protect me" in her words and deeds. Since such a big thing happened to the Pei family, Gu Xi would most likely ask Gu Chang for advice.

What would Gu Chang do if he knew?

Yu Tang's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "I know what to do!"

Her sparkling appearance was like a star that suddenly shines, or like a sleeping cat that becomes lively when it opens its eyes.

Yu Tang is particularly lively like this.

It overlaps with the image of Yu Dandan, the fearless man in Pei Yan's memory.

Maybe, Yu Tang is the most beautiful like this?

Pei Yan laughed and couldn't help pinching Yu Tang's cheek.

Delicate and smooth, like a child's skin.

He couldn't help but twirled his fingers.

Yu Tang frowned and tilted his head, saying unhappily, "Do you know how strong your hands are? You are not allowed to pinch my face anymore."

Pei Yan continued laughing, and suddenly leaned over and kissed the place where he had pinched her.

Yu Tang's face flushed, and she was as beautiful as a peach or plum.

It still looks better this way!

Pei Yan thought in his heart.

What Atang lacks is knowledge. If she had a background like Xu's, she would definitely be more opinionated than Xu.

He couldn't help but say, "You should spend less time hanging out with Xu at home. Go out and visit other people when you have nothing to do. Doesn't she like running around? Anyway, she uses you as a raft when she comes to our house, and she uses you as a raft when she runs around outside. You might as well run around outside more often."

Yu Tang had no idea what Pei Yan was thinking, and smiled, "Isn't she going to give birth in a month? How dare I go out with her? Sometimes when she wants to go out, I have to coax her to stay home and make hair flowers for me."

"It's okay!" Pei Yan said, "That's something Yin Mingyuan should worry about. If she wants to go out and play, you can just accompany her. If she really feels unsafe, she can go to Zhang's or Li's house as a guest. The homes of the Yin family's aunts are all experienced elders, so nothing will happen. Or you can go to Gu's house as a guest. Gu Chaoyang's family is also a member of the Yin family, and she is a little aunt of the Yin family."

It would be a waste if you don't take advantage of it.

Xu was about to give birth but was still strolling outside. Why should her daughter, A-Tang, be scared? The eldest and youngest aunts of the Yin family pointed fingers and made trouble but still did not take responsibility. They should also experience the hardship of Yu-Tang.

Yu Tang misunderstood.

She thought Pei Yan wanted her to drag Gu Chang into this.

Marriage is a double-edged sword. If one party prospers, all parties prosper. However, if there is damage, the parties will also be affected.

She smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Mrs. Yin."

No matter what, Xu Xuan is a married woman after all, so let's not drag her into this.

Pei Yan smiled and tapped Yu Tang's forehead, saying, "You think too much about others. Sometimes you should take care of yourself."

Yu Tang smiled foolishly, feeling that her tolerance towards Pei Yan was sweet.

She asked him gently, "Are you still feeling sad? Do you want me to bring you another bowl of honey water?"

Pei Yan fell on the bed with his limbs spread out, responded casually, and added, "Don't put so much honey." It seemed that he was acting coquettishly to Yu Tang rather than giving him an order.

What should I do?

It's like raising a big child.

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan's relaxed face, which looked lazy but had a different kind of charm, and kissed him. Then he smiled and asked Qing Yuan to prepare another bowl of honey water that was not so sweet.

Pei Yan could feel Yu Tang's joy.

He touched the place where he was kissed, pursed his lips silently and smiled.

Half an hour later, Qing Yuan found out Gu Xi's whereabouts.

But when she was about to tell Yu Tang, Yu Tang and Pei Yan's inner room was tightly locked, and from time to time she could hear Yu Tang's sweet but unclear complaints.

Qing Yuan's face was burning, and he quickly retreated to the center of the courtyard and said to the maid on duty: "If there is any movement in the inner room of the Third Master and the Third Madam, please let me know. I still need to report to the Third Madam!"

The old woman was an elder of the Pei family. She had served Mr. Pei An before and was the one who came to Beijing with Yu Tang this time.

She laughed when she heard that and said, "Ms. Qingyuan is still young. If it were me, I would come and talk about this tomorrow morning."

Qing Yuan felt his face getting even hotter. He responded hastily and hurried back to the house.

But the next morning, Yu Tang got up very late. When she went in, Pei Yan had already left. Ah Xing and the others had already started helping her comb her hair, but she was still dozing there with sleepy eyes.

Qing Yuan did not disturb her. He waited until she finished her breakfast before telling her about this matter: "After returning home, the eldest young lady went to visit Uncle Gu first and had dinner there before returning."

In other words, Gu Chang knew about this matter.

That's good.

Gu Chang is also a capable man. This time he is on the same boat with the Pei family, so Pei Yan can be said to have a powerful helper.

Yu Tang heaved a sigh of relief and thought carefully about the Yang family. When Pei Yan came back from outside, she discussed with Pei Yan: "Should we tell the Yang family that the marriage is not going through? If we wait until they come to urge us, we will give them a reply, which will make it seem like we have no solution."

Pei Yan thought it was feasible and said, "Just do whatever you want to do! Do it according to your own ideas. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. Just treat it as practice."

Even so, Yu Tang was still a little scared. She asked, "Do you have a solution to this problem?"

Pei Yan smiled and said, "I don't have a solution for now, but Gu Chaoyang and I have met, and the marriage between the Qin and Fei families has been settled."

What does this have to do with the Qin and Fei families?

Yu Tang's eyes widened.

Pei Yan smiled and said, "My second brother and I had breakfast before we went out this morning. He said that even if we didn't have a girl of the right age, we wouldn't marry into the Yang family."

To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

"Afterwards, I went to see Gu Chaoyang and told him about the Yang family's plan to form an alliance with our family." Pei Yan continued, "I saw Gu Chaoyang's face change. I took the opportunity to express my family's attitude and asked him to help find out what kind of evidence against our family that the Yang family had in their hands. He even spoke in an official tone to me!"

Gu Chang would not be so blind, but Pei Yan would spare no effort to discredit Gu Chang in front of Yu Tang.

"He is a petty person." He said, "Although investigating this matter may get him involved, can he get away with it if he doesn't investigate it?"

In Yu Tang's impression, this is something that Gu Chang can really do.

She asked, "Did Gu Chaoyang agree?"

"I agree." Pei Yan had plenty of ways to get him to agree. He asked Gu Chang to investigate the matter without expecting that Gu Chang could really help him. He mainly wanted to appease Gu Chang and tell him not to mess up. Because if Gu Chang had the chance, he would be willing to hold this handle in his hands.

Yu Tang nodded and said, "Then you have to be careful too."

Pei Yan said "hmm" with great satisfaction.

As a result, the second wife came over in the afternoon, took her hand, and said worriedly: "Master said that he wanted to arrange A Dan's marriage with the Qin family. It was so sudden. Did something happen?"

Yu Tang couldn't say anything else, but he should be able to tell the second wife about the marriage between the Yang family and the Pei family.

She told the second wife about the Yang family's plan to host a banquet for them.

The Second Wife, who was so good-tempered, started to curse after hearing this: "They clearly knew that Mother-in-law didn't want to marry into their family anymore, but they still acted like this. Do they think that we two sisters-in-law are fools and would agree to this marriage without Mother-in-law's approval? They must be targeting our Ah Dan."

It’s no wonder that the second wife thinks so.

Even if Pei Yan is the clan leader, the matter of marriage still requires the consent of the other person's parents. Now, the only thing they can decide is the marriage of the younger generations in the clan.

Yu Tang comforted the second wife: "Maybe there is another candidate?"

The second wife was obsessed with the idea and said, "They are planning to take advantage of our Ah Hong. No matter what they are going to do, I will never agree. Otherwise, how can I face my mother-in-law?" She also complained to her brothers, "Why is it so difficult to ask them to find out about the Qin family?"

Yu Tang had no choice but to say, "It's because it's a bit far away. How about we try to find out?"

She was indeed afraid that if she hastily arranged an engagement for the fifth young lady, she would not marry her off well.

The second wife was very happy to see that Yu Tang and she were on the same page, and asked her hurriedly, "How can we find out?"
