Mrs. Yang certainly didn't come for dinner, but Yu Tang's suggestion did make her excited.

Although Pei Yan was the head of the Pei family, Pei Xuan was the highest official. The second wife was older than Yu Tang and came from a family of farmers and scholars, so she must be more capable than Yu Tang. This was the reason why she abandoned the second wife and asked Gu Xi to bring the letter to Yu Tang - she felt that Yu Tang was inferior to the second wife in every aspect, and she was taking advantage of her ignorance. But she didn't expect Yu Tang to be so ignorant that the murder and confiscation of the family was just a trivial matter in her eyes.

If I had known this earlier, I would have told the second wife!

Moreover, the Yang family's affairs were still being kept under wraps, but they couldn't be covered up for two days. She also wanted to test Pei Tong's tone to see if he would help the Yang family at the critical moment.

If Pei Tong only has the Pei family and not the Yang family in his heart, then they don't need to acknowledge this grandson. He is an ungrateful person after all. He can add icing on the cake but cannot help in times of need. What's the point of having such a grandson?

Mrs. Yang thought about it in her heart and did not argue with Yu Tang about not letting her accompany the guests. Instead, she thought it was a good idea. She could just talk about some serious matters with Pei Tong quietly.

Yu Tang came out from Gu Xi's place, and the guests had already arrived. In addition to her son, Mrs. Qin also brought her daughter and Miss Qin; Mrs. Fei brought a grandson who was old enough to dance with a spoon; Xu Xuan brought her sister-in-law Yin over, and the second wife and the fifth lady were accompanying them. Everyone was drinking tea and talking in the flower hall.

As soon as Yu Tang entered the room, he apologized with a smile: "I just went to the kitchen to check. I came back late. Please forgive me, Madam and Madam Qin."

Old Madam Fei laughed and said "where", said a few polite words, and introduced her grandson, saying that he was the second son of her second son, who was well-educated. This time he came here to study with Fei Zhiwen. The Pei family "has three Jinshi in one family" and is well-known in the capital for its academic ability. Today she took this opportunity to bring her grandson here to meet the family.

Maybe they were afraid that Young Master Qin would feel uncomfortable, so they brought him here specially to keep him company, right?

Yu Tang smiled and warmly invited Mr. Xiao Fei to have tea, but his eyes fell on Mr. Qin who was standing next to Mrs. Qin.

It can be seen from Miss Qin that the Qin family has both beautiful women and handsome men.

Young Master Qin doesn't look anything like Madam Qin, but actually looks 30% similar to Miss Qin. They both have high noses, big eyes, and fair skin. They are both very good-looking, with good temperaments, gentle and polite. It's obvious that they are scholars from aristocratic families.

As for Young Master Qin's younger sister, Miss Qin, she looks more like Miss Qin. She is only a ten-year-old girl, but it can be seen that she will be a beauty who is no less beautiful than Miss Qin when she grows up.

Madam Qin has three sons and one daughter. I wonder if the other two sons are like the eldest son of the Qin family, and have good looks.

Yu Tang smiled and had a good impression of Young Master Qin.

She looked towards the second wife.

The Second Wife already looked like a future mother-in-law. She was not only very satisfied, but also very happy. Her mouth was almost smiling. She said to the eldest son and daughter of Qin enthusiastically, "Sit down, sit down. Don't be so polite. Neither A'dan's third aunt nor I are demanding people. You can be more casual."

Young Master Qin and his sister glanced at their mother, and when they saw Madam Qin nod slightly, they sat down with red faces.

Yu Tang asked about Miss Qin's daily life.

Miss Qin seemed a little shy and answered Yu Tang's questions in a soft voice.

Yu Tang liked it even more.

The fifth young lady is also an introvert. If her sister-in-law is too noisy, the fifth young lady may not be able to get along with her.

Of course, my sister-in-law will get married in a few years, and they will live their own lives. Sometimes she still counts on her brother and sister-in-law from her mother's side to support her, but wouldn't it be better if the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law could get along well?

Yu Tang smiled and said to Madam Qin, "I didn't expect that the young lady of your family is just like our A'dan, a gentle and humble person." After saying that, she quickly glanced at Master Qin.

Young Master Qin was secretly looking at Miss Fifth, but Miss Fifth knew nothing about it and smiled at Young Master Qin childishly as if to say hello. Young Master Qin immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Miss Fifth again, his ears were red, quite childish, but also somewhat cute.

There was a smile on Yu Tang's eyes and eyebrows.

Mrs. Qin also saw her son's appearance and felt that this thing would be successful. She was overjoyed and said, "She is just too introverted. No matter what I say, she can't change. And because she is still young, I don't take her out for a walk." Then she said to her daughter, "Since you have met Miss Fifth today, I will take you with me when I go out next time. You will have someone to keep you company."

The fifth young lady was the youngest among the young ladies of the Pei family. She was always taken care of by others, and she had never taken care of others. Hearing this, she could not help but get excited. She looked at the second wife cautiously and said, "Mom, the pomegranate flowers, roses, and butterfly orchids in the back garden are all in bloom. Shall I take my sister to see them?"

It’s still early for lunch.

Madam Fei smiled and said, "Then let's go and have a look. I've known for a long time that the Second Madam is good at taking care of flowers. I have to go and broaden my horizons today."

Sitting here, there is no chance to talk.

The second wife stood up and said with a smile, "It's not my flower arrangement that's good, it's my mother-in-law's flower arrangement. My sister-in-law and I learned it from her. The garden here was arranged by my brother and sister-in-law. I just watched the flowers bloom and picked a few to put in the vase. I don't deserve your compliment."

Old Madam Fei felt that the two daughters-in-law of the Pei family, including the granddaughter-in-law Gu Xi, were good at speaking and had a good sense of the general situation. She couldn't help but smile and said, "I remember that the eldest wife only had two sons. Has the youngest son found a husband?"

Pei Fei's marriage was not easy to arrange.

Firstly, Pei You's branch is a bit awkward in the clan family. Secondly, Mrs. Pei has her own ideas and may not agree with the Pei family.

This would be troublesome if Madam Fei wanted to act as a matchmaker for Pei Fei.

But given Mrs. Fei's status and position, it would be bad to refuse.

The Second Wife didn't know what to say for a moment and glanced at Yu Tang as if asking for help.

Yu Tang and the Second Madam were thinking the same thing. Seeing the Second Madam's look, Yu Tang smiled without thinking, "We are all young ones. The Second Young Master's marriage should be discussed with our eldest sister-in-law."

This means that neither of them, the sisters-in-law, can be the head of the family.

Mrs. Fei thought this was human nature, so she didn't ask any more questions and smiled as she let her grandson support her and went to the garden at the back.

Yin remained silent, supporting Xu Xuan and listening with her ears perked up.

The fifth young lady actually got to play together with the eldest young lady Fei.

The two people were talking in low voices, looking very harmonious.

Miss Qin supported Madam Qin, while the eldest son of the Qin family followed behind them, glancing at the fifth miss from time to time, with the red cloud on his face never dissipating.

Yu Tang found it very interesting. After sending the guests away, he told Pei Yan about this matter and said, "Mr. Qin is very handsome. I was afraid that Mr. Qin would look down on our A Dan. I didn't expect that Mr. Qin was quite attentive to A Dan. They went fishing in the back garden together in the afternoon. It is said that Mr. Qin was helping A Dan to hang the bait. When he returned, he asked his sister to invite A Dan to visit his home. I think this marriage will be settled in eight or nine out of ten times."

Pei Yan frowned and said, "If a man wants to achieve success, what's the point of being good-looking? Or should we look at his knowledge?"

Yu Tang smiled and said, "In a few days, Madam Fei will invite us to her house to play. You can go too! You can take this opportunity to test Master Fei's knowledge."

Because today was the first time everyone met, it was not certain whether they would like each other or not, so the men from the Pei and Qin families did not participate.

Afterwards, Yu Tang talked about Madam Yang: "I don't know if she thought what I said made sense or for some other reason, but after having lunch at the eldest master's place, she waited until he returned home. The two talked for a long time before leaving. What are your plans for the Yang family? If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know what to do."

Pei Yan's face turned a little unhappy when he heard it, and he said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. Gu Chaoyang meant to beat him to death with a stick and put an end to it. But I don't think it's a good idea. The barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Instead of letting them do whatever they want, it's better to leave them a ray of hope so that they dare not move at will for that ray of life. Now it's a game of chess to see who loses his temper first. Today it was Madam Yang who came to the door, and next time it will probably be someone from the Yang family who will come to the door." Then he pinched Yu Tang's cheek a little timidly and smiled, "You answered very well today. If someone asks you something in the future, you just need to deal with them like you did today."

He didn't want to drag Yu Tang into this.

He didn't even want to pass on the message.

He liked Yu Tang to be happy every day and he only had to worry about how to reject Xu's unreasonable requests.

For everything else, he's all I need.

Yu Tang smiled and knocked Pei Yan's hand down, saying, "I think what you said makes sense. Even a dog will bite when it is angry! But do you know what the Yang family has on us?"

"I don't know!" Pei Yan said indifferently, "I guess it's just some letters, account books or something like that. No matter what it is, if it really comes to the hall, there will always be a way to prove it. The important thing is who the emperor will believe."

The two were talking in a private and affectionate manner when Qing Yuan came in and said, "Third Master, Third Madam, there's a quarrel going on over there with the eldest master. Do you want to go over there?"

Pei Tong and Gu Xi?

With the personalities of these two people, they shouldn't make such a fuss and let the elders in the family know about it.

Yu Tang called Qing Yuan in and asked, "Do you know what happened? Has the Second Madam known about it?"

Qing Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is about. It was He Xiang who was beside the eldest young lady. She said that the eldest young master smashed everything in the house, and she wanted you and the third master to go over and give justice to the eldest young lady!"

Gu Xi has always been very concerned about his reputation, so there can't be any conspiracy here, right?

Yu Tang asked, "Where's He Xiang?"

Since we've asked them to seek justice, they should at least find out what's going on, right?

Qing Yuan said, "She told me with red eyes that she was going to ask the Second Master and Second Madam. I didn't dare to ask her in detail."

Yu Tang and Pei Yan live closer to Gu Xi and the others.

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan looked unhappy and said stiffly, "Let's go discuss this with Second Brother."

If they wanted to mind their own business, he and Yu Tang would go over and take a look. If they didn't want to mind their business, he and Yu Tang would not go either.
