Chapter 82 A Gift from Pei Jian

"Does he still come to the corner gate now?"

Nian Xi thought about it carefully and realized that no one knew more about the battle in the northern border in the previous life than Pei Jian.

But since her rebirth, she had never thought about having anything to do with Pei Jian again, so when she wanted to find him now, she didn't know where to start.

Old Lady Wang raised her head and secretly peeked at the eldest lady's face. She thought to herself that the sun was rising from the west, and said respectfully, "It will come every now and then."

Nian Xi was startled when she heard this.

She actually didn't have much hope.

Pei Jian was a man of pride, and she had said it so firmly that he would not come again. She had originally thought of sending someone to Pei Jian's house to invite him for a talk, but she had never expected that he would actually come to Jiaomen.

Mrs. Wang had been working in the inner palace for decades, and she had some ability to guess people's hearts, so she continued without waiting for Nian Xi to open her mouth:

"Even when the young lady went on the autumn hunt, he still came as usual. Every time he came, it was late in the evening. It looked to me like he had just left the government office. Mr. Pei was very careful and was never seen by anyone. He didn't linger too much, just stood there for a while, put down the box and left."

Nian Xi asked: "What box?"

Mrs. Wang took out a square pearwood box from her bosom and handed it over. "I brought one here. You will know it once you see it, young lady."

Nian Xi took it, opened it, and inside was a pair of gold and amber earrings.

The workmanship is exquisite and delicate, and it is a style that Nianxi will like as soon as she sees it.

She recalled the conversation between her cousin Mu and the waitress in the Treasure Pavilion that day, and she couldn't help but feel moved. "A lot?"

"When Pei Langjun comes, he never comes empty-handed."

"All earrings?"

Nianxi asked directly. Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say that she hadn't seen it before. She could only respond, "It's not just earrings. It's earrings and earrings. They come in all kinds of gemstones, pearls, gold and silver materials, and all kinds of styles."

She knelt down and said, "I dare not be corrupt, and I have kept every pair of earrings carefully. But the eldest lady forbade me to talk about Pei Langjun, so they have been kept with me. Today, I heard you call me, so I brought a pair to you for your review."

Nianxi knew what kind of person Wang Po was, so she didn't say much. She asked her to bring the things over, and gave her a bunch of money as a reward. "When he comes next time, you can report to me."

Mrs. Wang was surprised and puzzled. She thought that Pei Jian had finally managed to loosen the corner of Mr. Gu's wall, so she immediately agreed.

After she left, Nian Xi looked at the earrings on the table and felt a little sad for a moment.

At that time, she didn't know that Pei Jian had feelings for her cousin Xu, and she just thought that she and Pei Jian were married out of mutual affection. She felt sorry for Pei Jian who lost his parents when he was young, and she wanted to give him a warm home.

She is always the one who takes the initiative between the two of them, because she has a lot of love since she was a child, and she is willing to give it all to make up for his lack.

Being young and lustful, he was brave and lustful in bed. He always liked to lick her earlobes and watch her tremble all over, feeling very emotional.

Nian Xi thought this was a calm and taciturn man expressing his love.

Unfortunately not.

A man has many kinds of love, but only one heart.

Pei Jian's heart was never with her.

So he allowed the rumors to spread and brought his newly widowed cousin back home, and also wanted to give Xu Wanxin's child to her as her legitimate son.

Any complaints?

In fact, I have always been resentful in my heart.

When they were deeply in love with each other, he also made a solemn vow to her and promised to grow old together.

But why should he trample on her sincerity again and again just because of another woman?

It was not until the moment of her death that she suddenly realized and lamented her own stupidity. She realized that no one in this world was more worthy of her love than herself.

To love others, you must first love yourself.

She will never act stupidly again in this life.

The two maids were also shocked by the dazzling array of earrings and murmured, "With so many styles, how long will the young lady have to wear them all?"

Compared to Lanzhi, Xingyue was more calculating. She looked at Nianxi's expression and asked, "Which one do you like, young lady? Let me try it on for you."

Nian Xi shook her head and said softly, "No need, just put them all in the cabinet on the third floor."

The two maids looked at each other. The third cabinet meant that these gorgeous and exquisite earrings would never see the light of day and would just be put away in a corner to gather dust.

The eldest lady doesn't like any of them.

The two maids responded and put away all the earrings.

Coincidentally, the king's wife came back to report that Pei Jian had arrived.

When Nian Xi went there, she saw that he was holding a treasure box in his hand.

Seeing her, Pei Jian chuckled, "What good day is today?"

You actually came to see me.
