Despite this, Pei Yan was still very dissatisfied and said, "Young couples are bound to be angry. Is it necessary to ask the elders to intervene every time there is a problem?"

It sounds like they are not a young couple.

Yu Tang suppressed his laughter and went to Pei Xuan with Pei Yan.

On the way, they met Pei Xuan and his wife who were in a hurry.

Pei Xuan started to complain: "Tell me, there are so many people in our family, who would quarrel right after getting married? Fortunately, it happened in the capital. If it happened in my hometown, wouldn't the uncles and brothers from other families laugh at me?"

The second wife asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, do you know why they quarreled?"

"We just received the letter," Yu Tang said hurriedly, "and wanted to ask if you know anything?"

The second wife shook her head, took Yu Tang's arm, and said, "Let's go and have a look! It would be so embarrassing if this gets out!"

Yu Tang also felt the same.

Especially at the critical moment when the Pei family was discussing marriage with the Qin family, if word got out that the nephew and his wife were not getting along, people would think that everyone in their family was just trying to save face!

The four of them hurried to Gu Xi's place.

She was quite perceptive. The yard was quiet with only a maid guarding the gate, who was her chambermaid. All the people from the Pei family who came with them were sent back to their own rooms. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Gu Xi's two dowry maids quietly cleaning the hall that had been smashed. Pei Tong was sitting alone on the armchair in the middle hall with her head down. Her clothes were neat, but her expression was very savage.

Hearing the noise, he raised his head, his face suddenly turned red, and shouted "Gu Xi" towards the inner room.

Didn’t he know that Gu Xi went to ask the elders for help?

As Yu Tang was thinking about it, he saw Pei Tong walking towards them with a face full of shame, bowing to them and calling them "Second Uncle" and "Third Uncle" in a low voice.

Pei Xuan, who was usually very kind to others, had a stern face and looked very serious at this moment. He sat on the left side of the hall without saying a word.

Pei Yan also said nothing, his face as red as a pot, and sat on Pei Xuan's right.

Pei Tong stood there, her lips twitching, looking at a loss.

Yu Tang was thinking about where to sit, but the second wife glanced at Pei Tong, sighed softly, and reminded him quietly: "Where is Gu? Go and call her out! Since your second uncle and your third uncle are here, they will definitely help you solve the problem."

Pei Tong agreed softly and went into the inner room.

After a while, two unclear arguments were heard from the inner room.

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, pointed to his lower head, and said to Yu Tang: "You should sit down too! It seems that this will take more than a short time."

Yu Tang naturally followed Pei Yan's arrangements.

The second wife sat opposite Yu Shang and told the maid who was still cleaning the room: "You can leave first! Bring up two cups of tea."

The two maids seemed relieved, replied "yes" respectfully, and immediately retreated, came back with tea and snacks, and then fled out of the hall, closing the door behind them.

The second wife didn't know whether she wanted to speak for Gu Xi or because Pei Xuan and his brother looked too unhappy, she smiled and said, "The maidservant beside Gu is really good. She knows the importance of things, which is better than anything else."

Pei Xuan's expression brightened up when he heard this.

Pei Yan, however, still had the face of Prince Zhang Yan.

Pei Tong and Gu Xi walked out of the inner room one after another and bowed to Pei Xuan and Pei Yan.

Pei Yan did not say anything. Pei Xuan asked them in a daze, "What's going on? We are here too. You can tell us what's going on."

Pei Tong murmured something like "We just have a disagreement" or "I didn't expect to alarm my two uncles" or "It's all my fault", but as to why they started arguing, she was unable to explain it for a long time.

Gu Xi, who was standing aside, listened to Pei Tong's words in silence and calmness. Seeing that Pei Tong never mentioned the conflict between the two of them, she couldn't help but sneer, interrupted Pei Tong's vague words, and said: "Second uncle, third uncle, this is what happened. Today, my aunt came to visit and talked about the idea of ​​​​marrying into our family. I thought, we have two uncles on the left and my mother-in-law on the right, so it is not our turn to make the decision on this matter. We are the younger generation, so we just need to listen to the elders, so I have not expressed my opinion. Who knew that my husband returned home and answered after listening to what my aunt said. My aunt-in-law came forward to help bring the two families together. My aunt-in-law was extremely happy when she heard this, but I felt that my husband should not interfere in this matter, but it was difficult to say anything in front of my aunt-in-law. After my aunt-in-law left, I tactfully told my husband about this matter and asked him not to bother the two uncles. I told my aunt-in-law in a few days that after thinking about it, we, as the younger generation, should not interfere. Who knew that he would get angry and pointed at my nose and said that I was always looking for a high-ranking branch, looking down on his grandfather's family.

“I argued with him for a long time but couldn’t make him understand.

"I was thinking, let's ask my second uncle to come over and judge for us."

She didn't think of telling Pei Yanliang.

I don’t know if He Xiang didn’t understand, or she said something to Pei Yan in a panic.

She originally thought it was a good idea to marry Pei Tong - Pei Yan had no official career, but Pei Tong was like the morning sun. Maybe she would pass the exam one day, and then Pei Yan would be his farmer and she would be his official wife, and they could live in peace with the Pei family.

Pei Tong was well-educated but also foolishly filial. He knew clearly that what the first wife did was wrong, but he couldn't bear to say it was wrong. At the critical moment, he would rather sacrifice himself and her for the sake of his mother.

She couldn't control Pei Tong's decision to die for the Yang family, but it was impossible for her to use her own shoulders to support the Yang family.

Gu Xi's expression became more and more serious, and he said: "Why did the Yang family marry the Pei family? To put it bluntly, it was just to save the two uncles from the quagmire. Relatives should help each other, but that's not the case. If there is no way to solve it, why must they marry? Can't the second uncle help rescue the two uncles from the Yang family? The Yang family didn't discuss it when they joined the Sun family. Our family? Now that something has happened, we are willing to take care of it, but we want to marry our daughter to their family? My grandmother clearly opposed it. We still want to do this. I have never seen such a thing in my life. Such an unfilial son and grandson. You actually have the nerve to point at me and say I am unfilial. I cannot bear this hat. If I don’t ask the elders in my family to come and explain it clearly, how can I stand up straight and live my life in the future! "

Everyone's eyes fell on Pei Tong.

He was so angry that he was shaking. The corners of his mouth trembled for a long time before he gritted his teeth and blurted out a few words: "Is that what you just answered me? Don't be evasive! Since you dare to complain, you should tell the truth."

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xi again.

Gu Xi stood there with her back straight, her face as white as white silk. She said fearlessly, "Yes, that's not what I said originally. I was asking my husband why we must have an alliance? Does he think that only by forming another marriage with the Yang family can he make up for his regret of not marrying a daughter of the Yang family?"

Looking at her like this, Yu Tang suddenly thought of her previous life, when Gu Xi came to see her for the first time after Li Duan's coveting of her was exposed.

It was also like this, with his body standing straight like a poplar tree, and a look of desperation on his face.

Could it be that Pei Tong had let her down this time?

Yu Tang could not help but hold the handkerchief tightly, staring at Pei Tong intently.

In their previous life, Gu Xi and Li Duan lived a loving and sweet life for four or five years.

But now, Gu Xi has been married to Pei Tong for less than a year.

Pei Tong's face turned even redder, and he said, "Second uncle, third uncle, don't you think she is talking nonsense? If I really wanted to marry Yang's daughter again, why would I agree to marry her? My mother originally wanted me to marry my cousin from my uncle's family, but I didn't want to indulge in the pain of the past, so I didn't want to marry into the Yang family again. My mother loved me, so she agreed to marry into the Gu family." After saying that, he glared at Gu Xi and said, "You are too narrow-minded. How can you doubt me like this?"

"I am a woman, and it is my nature to protect my family." Gu Xi did not make excuses, but said righteously, "Since my husband said so, I apologize to you in front of the two elders. But you also have to put my mind at ease and promise me in front of the two elders that you will never mention the marriage with the Yang family again in the future."

This is Gu Xi’s purpose!

Take them out of this matter. At least take their little family out of this matter.

Yu Tang suddenly realized and looked towards Pei Yan.

Pei Yan felt something in his heart, turned around and saw Yu Tang's big watery eyes.

He could see clearly what was in her mind.

He looked at Pei Xuan and the second wife.

Pei Xuan frowned, thinking that it was ridiculous to ask the elders to make the decision on such a matter. The second wife smiled, as if she found Gu Xi's jealousy very interesting.

Or maybe their little girl is smart and Gu Xi's methods can't confuse her.

He coughed lightly.

Pei Tong and Gu Xi stopped arguing, Pei Xuan and the Second Wife stopped talking, and everyone looked at Pei Yan and listened to what he said.

Pei Yan then said slowly: "Atong, what do you think about the marriage with the Yang family now?"

Pei Tong was very smart and immediately said, "Of course I will listen to the elders."

Pei Yan nodded calmly and said, "I think what Gu said makes sense. Since there are other ways, why does the Yang family insist on marrying into our family?" After saying this, he curled his lips in disgust and said, "Atong, the Yang family is your maternal family. Even if you and your uncle break bones, they are still connected. I think this matter is left to you. Go to the Yang family and ask carefully what they are going to do. If they really just want to save your two uncles from the predicament, your second uncle and I will think of a way to save them. If they want to use this matter to marry into the Pei family again, you should also ask clearly what the Yang family wants to gain from marrying into our family. The Yang family is always more open in front of you than in front of your second uncle and me."

Pei Tong and Gu Xi were both stunned.

Pei Yan smiled and said, "Why? Don't you want to? Or do you think you can't do it?"

Pei Tong lowered her head and said hesitantly: "No, it's not that I don't want to, I'm just afraid that I can't do it well."

"How could that be!" Pei Yan said with a smile, "Gu is very thoughtful. If you feel undecided, just discuss it with her. She is definitely more opinionated than you."

Is this a compliment to Gu Xi or a satire on Gu Xi?

Yu Tang blinked in confusion.
