Cui Xueheng's pupils widened, and an expression of uncontrollable anger suddenly surged on her usually expressionless and cold face.
She stood up suddenly and pointed at Pei Sui, as if he was some despicable and evil criminal and enemy.
"you!"
She was so angry that she was shaking all over. "These years... How dare you mention these years? Who caused me to become a half-human, half-ghost now?
Isn’t it because of you?! If it weren’t for Huan Huan, I would have strangled you to death! You don’t deserve to live in this world! "
Pei Sui's face was calm, his eyes were cold, but there was no trace of emotion.
He had heard these words for more than twenty years, and they no longer hurt him.
He didn't want to discuss those old matters with her.
There's no way to reason with her.
He slowly stood up, glanced at her coldly, and spoke in a tone of notification and command.
"Meng Sheng may not be suitable for the Pei family, but she only needs to be suitable for me, Pei Sui. You are not the only elder above me. With grandma here, it is not your turn to interfere!
I will only say these words once! I don't want something like today to happen again!
Otherwise, I will help my eldest brother to rectify the rules of the Pei family!"
After saying that, he ignored Cui Xueheng's hateful look and walked out of the main hall.
In fact, he wanted Cui Xueheng to go and apologize to Meng Sheng in person.
But he knew that was impossible.
It's useless to say anything.
I'm too lazy to mention it again.
When he arrived at the second courtyard, he met the housekeeper, stopped, and asked with a serious face, "Has anyone come to the fourth courtyard to visit Madam recently?"
He hasn't called Cui Xueheng "Mom" for many years.
As she pinched his neck and said "You deserve to die" again and again, and looked at him with resentment again and again.
To him, the name Cui Xueheng meant just Mrs. Pei.
The butler seemed to have long been accustomed to his attitude and tone.
After thinking carefully, he said, "Recently, the only ones who have come to see Madam are the eldest, fourth, and third Miss Gu."
Pei Sui frowned when he heard this.
The eldest lady refers to Pei Huan.
The fourth young lady was his uncle’s daughter, named Pei Yao.
Miss Gu San, of course, refers to Gu Ci.
Pei Sui frowned, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Does Gu Ci visit her often?"
The housekeeper said, "Miss Gu came twice after the New Year, both times bringing Italian pastries she made for Madam to try. I heard from Du Fang that Madam likes her very much."
"When was the last time she was here?"
"I came here with the fourth young lady the day before the Lantern Festival."
Pei Sui pursed his lips, "I understand."
Just as he was about to leave, the housekeeper called him, "Second Young Master, the eldest young master will be back from his business trip soon, won't you wait for him to have dinner together?"
Pei Sui paused, without turning back, and said calmly, "No, I have something else to do."
After walking a few steps, he remembered, "Oh, right, check the servants in the fourth courtyard. Grandma is not here, and my eldest brother is busy. If something goes wrong at home, you can't afford it."
The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, and his expression became stern. "Yes, thank you for reminding me, Second Young Master. I understand."
Pei Sui got into the car and drove straight back to the south of the city.
It was the evening rush hour, and the extremely low-key black Bentley was stuck in traffic for more than half an hour.
It was past eight o'clock when we arrived at the Left Bank Courtyard.
As he went upstairs, he hesitated.
He raised his wrist to check the time, then went back to the 15th floor and picked up a small sandalwood box.
Then he went down to the floor where Meng Sheng lived, carrying the four pots of rhododendrons that he had bought a few days ago.
At this point, Meng Sheng had just returned, had a phone call with Meng Shixu, and was about to take a shower.
She was a little surprised when she heard the doorbell.
She didn't expect anyone would come to see her at this time, but when she saw the person in the video on the wall, a look of surprise flashed across her face.
Pei Sui?
She was stunned for a moment, then pushed the door open and saw that he was holding a rhododendron potted plant tied with a hanging basket rope in both hands.
There are four basins in total.
Unlike the two pots last time, these four pots are in bloom.
The azalea flowers bloomed very quietly, their petals looked like fresh snow, with slightly curled edges, as if they had been kissed by the moonlight hanging on the curtain outside, leaving traces.
A few light yellow stamens are dotted in the center of the flower, adding a touch of lonely, elegant beauty.
Looks very good.
But there was a look of confusion on her face, and her usually calm and beautiful eyes were also a little stunned, "You are..."
Pei Sui slightly raised the potted plant in his hand and said, "Apology."
apologize?
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood.
It was because of Cui Xueheng’s abrupt behavior in the afternoon.
She was silent for a moment, took one of the hanging baskets, and said slowly, "Hmm. Azaleas are so beautiful. I wonder when those two pots will bloom."
Pei Sui replied, "Usually from March to June."
Meng Sheng nodded and asked casually, "When did you come back?"
"I just came back not long ago." Pei Sui, "How about you? Have you eaten?"
"I just got home not long ago and I've already eaten."
Pei Sui nodded slightly, took out a wooden box carved with a rabbit and a large bell pattern from his pocket, and handed it to her.
The box is not big, about the length of a palm.
It’s not heavy either.
But it is very delicate, especially the chubby rabbit which is carved so lifelike.
There is another line next to it: A pillar of fragrance lingers around, bringing peace and security every year.
Meng Sheng was stunned, his hands froze, and he looked at him in confusion, "What is this?"
"My apology."
"Hmm? Wha…what?"
Meng Sheng was stunned, looking at him in surprise and confusion, pointing at the azalea pot in his other hand, "Then what is this..."
"It's also my apology."
"ah?"
This time Meng Sheng really has no idea what to do.
Pei Sui said, "They are all small items. You can open them and see if you like them."
Meng Sheng moved his lips, but no sound came out.
After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, she finally took the box. Just as she was about to put the azalea basket on the ground, Pei Sui reached out and took it.
His fingertips accidentally touched the back of her hand.
Meng Sheng was stunned.
Although it was only a brief contact, maybe just a second, she could clearly feel the warmth of his fingers.
It was warm and seemed dry.
A very subtle feeling passed through her heart. She turned her gaze away from him and pulled out the lid of the sandalwood box.
Suddenly I saw a keychain lying inside.
A dark amber and turquoise bead is strung on a black braided rope, with a pink rose in the middle and a fat white rabbit carved from peach wood hanging at the bottom.
The rabbit also added blush.
Simple and sophisticated, yet cute.
And a cinnabar wish plaque engraved with the word "peace".
It also has a light sandalwood scent.
Meng Sheng fell in love with it at first sight.
Pei Sui saw the clues from her micro-expressions and felt a little relieved.
He explained aloud, "I bought this when I accompanied my grandmother to Qianzhang Temple during the Chinese New Year, and asked a master to bless it."
Qianzhang Temple?
It is said that the fortune sticks at Qianzhang Temple in Jiangshan City are very effective and can resolve the joys and sorrows of the world.
Throughout the year, many pilgrims come from far and wide to pray for peace and health.
The wish plaque hanging next to the rabbit is what he wished for.
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment again, the surprise in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he asked curiously, "Why... did you give me this?"
