Mrs. Yang and Gu Xi couldn't help but stand up.

Yu Tang was stunned when he saw it.

In her impression, these two people sat very steadily when they saw her.

After being reborn, the people in my impression have changed!

She sighed and shook her head in her heart, then walked away with a smile.

After everyone greeted each other, they sat down again. After the maid served tea and left, she closed the door. Yu Tang smiled and said, "I wonder what important matter the eldest lady came here for today? We were having a family dinner and I didn't have time to take care of you. Fortunately, the eldest young lady is a thoughtful person and invited you to have tea, otherwise it would be really neglectful of you."

This sounds polite, but the person who came happened to be hosting a dinner party at home, and there was no invitation to sit down and have a meal. It was almost as if she was specifically told that she came at the wrong time.

Mrs. Yang's face changed.

Gu Xi didn't want them to make a fuss in her house, so she smiled and said, "It's rare for my aunt to come here, so she must come to my room and sit for a while. Otherwise, if my husband finds out, he will definitely say that I am disobedient to my elders and don't know etiquette." After that, she forked an apple and handed it to Mrs. Yang, "Try it. It was sent over from Yantai, Shandong two days ago. They said that their family also produces tribute. The second wife sent a basket of it over. I think it's not worse than the tribute. If you think it tastes good, I'll send some over for grandpa, grandmother, uncles, and aunts to try."

Does this mean to shut her up?

Mrs. Yang thought angrily, but it was not a good idea to quarrel with the Pei family at this time, so she had to swallow her anger and take it.

Gu Xi winked at Yu Tang.

Just like in her previous life, the scene was exactly the same when she slandered her in front of outsiders in a veiled manner and forced her to admit her mistake.

Yu Tang couldn't help but laugh.

Since Gu Xi likes to show off so much, then let her do it. Anyway, neither she nor the Second Wife likes to be in the spotlight. Even if she struggles outside, when it comes time to make a decision, others still have to ask the Second Wife or her opinion.

Then let her jump up and down.

She just needs to nod when she thinks something is good and shake her head when she thinks something is bad.

Yu Tang believed that with Gu Xi's intelligence, he would not do anything to harm the interests of the Pei family.

She nodded towards Gu Xi.

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Tang was a person with little judgment. She was afraid that Yu Tang would say something inappropriate and anger Mrs. Yang, and the two of them would start arguing.

On one side is her husband's family, and on the other side is her mother-in-law's family. It would be bad for her to stand on either side.

She wanted to criticize Madam Yang, so she took the opportunity to say, "It's quite interesting. Second Uncle was transferred to the capital just after he received the official seal of Shandong Provincial Governor. He stayed in Shandong for less than ten days, and the officials in Shandong didn't recognize him. They thought Second Uncle was the former Provincial Governor of Shandong. They often sent him some special products, and officials who came to Beijing to do business also often came to pay their respects to Second Uncle. We were quite embarrassed."

Is this showing off?

Mrs. Yang could no longer keep the smile on her face.

The Yang family is living in dire straits, so why is the Pei family acting like nothing happened and continuing to enjoy everyone's flattery?

Her voice became a little sharp when she spoke: "As the saying goes, when a person leaves, the tea gets cold. Your Second Elder was promoted, not dismissed. Not to mention that he only stayed in Shandong for ten days, even if he didn't stay for a day, as long as he was listed, the officials in Shandong would not dare to neglect your Second Elder. Maybe others would be lucky to have such a person to help them climb up the social ladder!"

Just you know!

Gu Xi smiled at Madam Yang and said, "You are right. People nowadays are so good at scheming. They will try to make connections even if they have nothing to do with you, not to mention if they have some connection. So my second uncle told my second aunt that if you think the things sent are good, you should keep them and pay for them. If you think they are useless or not good, you should return them directly. It's a pity that all the things sent from Shandong are good things, so we have to buy them all. At least we don't have to look for them everywhere, which saves us a lot of trouble."

That tone and that look made it seem as if she was the mistress of the family.

Mrs. Yang sneered in her heart and glanced at Yu Tang.

Who knew that Yu Tang seemed to have no feelings at all, just sat there with a smile on his face, watching Gu Xi talking about this and that.

This is what people from humble backgrounds are like. They can’t even understand a sentence.

Mrs. Yang cursed in her heart, but couldn't help asking, "Aren't all the things sent from Shandong given to the Second Madam? Did the Second Madam also pay for this?"

Of course not.

Everyone benefited from the food, so how could the second wife be asked to pay for it?

Especially the second master's salary is very low, almost nothing.

Yu Tang wouldn't be fooled!

She smiled and said, "We also want to get some benefits, but we don't want to take advantage! How can the money be paid by the second wife?" Then she changed the subject and asked Mrs. Yang again about her purpose, "You came here suddenly today, is there something urgent?"

Yu Tang had already guessed why Madam Yang came, and she wanted to get rid of Madam Yang as soon as possible. After all, the Fifth Miss was the most important. Besides, she had already asked Pei Yan. It was impossible for the Pei family and the Yang family to reconcile. They would definitely fall out at that time. It didn't make any difference whether she offended someone now or in the future.

Madam Yang really stopped bothering with the details. She drank two sips of tea, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down her dissatisfaction. Then she smiled and said, "It's about the last time I asked the eldest young lady to bring back a message. I know that Mr. Pei doesn't like our sister-in-law, but some things are not about likes or dislikes. The most important thing is to look at the current situation. The third wife doesn't understand these, but the third master certainly does. I think that if the masters are at loggerheads over some things, there will be no room for maneuver. It's better for us women in the inner house to discuss it first and let the masters of the two families know that there is such a thing. Then it will be much easier to make a decision. Otherwise, I won't come forward to talk about this matter."

Yu Tang pretended to be ignorant, nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, and said, "So that's how it is. I was thinking before that my mother-in-law had already spoken, but you still let us, the daughters-in-law, take charge. Isn't this embarrassing for us? It turns out that you just want us to convey a message!"

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she was like an ignorant child, so angry that she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Then how did you tell the Third Elder?"

Yu Tang widened his pair of black and white eyes and said, "I haven't told the Third Elder about this yet!"

"What?!" Mrs. Yang was furious.

Does she realize how important this is?

If she hadn't made this trip, would the Yang family still be sitting at home waiting for news from here like before?

No wonder the Pei family was completely silent.

She immediately said in a sharp voice: "How could you not tell the Third Elder about such an important matter? Do you know what you have done? If this was an emergency military situation, you would have been beheaded eighteen times."

Yu Tang disagrees.

Hearing her tone, someone who didn’t know her would think she was the daughter-in-law or younger member of the Yang family!

She was just being polite first and then aggressive out of habit, but Mrs. Yang treated her like a soft persimmon and squeezed her whenever she wanted!

Yu Tang looked even more innocent, and said aggrievedly: "Everyone knows that my mother-in-law is against this matter. How can I tell the Third Elder? I have discussed this matter with the Second Madam, but the Second Madam did not dare to tell the Second Elder. In my opinion, this matter should either be forgotten, or you should go and tell the Third Elder in person."

Mrs. Yang was so angry that she was shaking all over.

What kind of person did Pei Yan marry?

She went to tell the third elder?

Are all the men in the Yang family dead?

Maybe Pei Yan still thinks that the Yang family looks down on him, and looks down on the Pei family from a high position, so he sent a woman from the inner house to tell him these things!

Mrs. Yang was furious and said, "Just tell me the truth. I just asked you to pass on a message, not to make a decision."

Seeing her face turn blue, Yu Tang felt very happy and continued to pretend, saying, "Am I not afraid that the Third Elder will be unhappy?" At this point, she set her eyes on Gu Xi, who had been silent, and said, "How about, the eldest young lady go and talk to the second elder in person! The second elder has a good temper, and the eldest young lady is better at talking than me. What's more, she is not good at passing messages and changing the message." As she spoke, she clapped her hands, as if she thought this was a very good idea.

Mrs. Yang was stunned, but after a while, she felt that this was indeed a good idea.

This not only avoids a direct confrontation with Pei Yan, but also lets the Pei brothers know the importance of the matter.

She looked at Yu Tang's carefree face with mixed feelings and said, "Then do you know how important this matter is?"

Yu Tang said cheerfully, "When we were in Zhaoming Temple, someone said that only the Pei family could afford the 200,000 taels of silver. But later everyone made it clear that this matter had nothing to do with the Pei family. Maybe it was you, the Yang family, who made a mistake! I believe this matter has nothing to do with the Pei family!"

The firm tone made Mrs. Yang lose her temper completely. She felt that talking to such a person was really tiring.

Seeing that things were almost done, Yu Tang stood up quickly and said to Gu Xi, "Mrs. Yang rarely comes here, so you don't have to attend today's banquet. Just entertain Mrs. Yang well. I won't accompany you. Mrs. Yang, please stay here for lunch today. I'll tell the kitchen then." After saying that, he walked out without even giving Mrs. Yang and Gu Xi a chance to refuse.

Gu Xi frowned, but had no choice but to stay here to entertain Mrs. Yang.

She couldn't bring Madam Yang to the main courtyard. If Madam Yang said something unfavorable to the Pei family without caring about the situation, it would be embarrassing for the Pei family.

"Aunt," she smiled and personally refilled Mrs. Yang's tea, "I remember my husband said before that you, like my mother-in-law, like crispy duck the most. I remember that the kitchen has this dish today. Please sit for a while. I will ask He Xiang to go to the kitchen and ask them to make some tofu balls and fried small yellow croaker..." As she said that, she loudly called He Xiang to come in and gave her some instructions.
