Chapter 40 Quarrel
So, the servants sorted out the things that Chen Feifei sent and moved them to Xu Qingyan's private warehouse.
At this time, Pei Jingyuan happened to be walking through the yard and saw this scene. He saw so many luxurious things being carried and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Pei Jingyuan asked the servant who was directing the moving of things, "Did something happen in this mansion?"
The servant replied, "Second Young Master, today, a girl named Chen came to our house and said she wanted to repay the kindness of saving her life. This is her thank you gift to the young master and the wife of the prince."
When Pei Jingyuan heard this, his expression froze, and he immediately thought of Chen Feifei. He lowered his head to look at these luxurious boxes and opened one at random. Just this one glance made him gasp, because what he opened at random was a box of golden ingots! This business woman is really too rich!
The more Pei Jingyuan thought about it, the gloomier his face became. He felt that his loss was huge and he was extremely heartbroken! No, he couldn't just give up like this!
So Pei Jingyuan walked quickly to the hall. At this time, Chen Feifei had been chatting and laughing with Xu Qingyan for quite a while.
"Ms. Chen, why are you here at the Duke's Mansion today? I just happen to have something here and wanted to talk to you." Pei Jingyuan said to her politely.
Chen Feifei looked at him strangely and said, "Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Pei Jingyuan explained to Chen Feifei, "It's about the bandit yesterday. I need you to go with me and take notes. Are you free now?"
Now, Pei Jingyuan happens to be working in the government office, so this reason is very reasonable. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to have more contact with Chen Feifei later.
When Xu Qingyan heard Pei Jingyuan's words, she couldn't help but look up at him, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, "You are worthy of being the male protagonist! Even at this time, you are still shameless enough to come and get involved. No wonder you will be able to sit on the throne in the future! I'm afraid your plan to be a hero and save the beauty has failed, so you want to take advantage of me and get close to Chen Feifei again! I can't let you do what you want, I still have to find a way to notify Xu Qingyue to come!"
When Pei Jingchuan heard Xu Qingyan's words, he winked at the servant beside him, and the servant quietly retreated.
When Chen Feifei heard that it was the government office that wanted to investigate, she naturally did not dare to refuse and had to agree. After chatting with Xu Qingyan for a while, she stood up and said goodbye to Xu Qingyan, and followed Pei Jingyuan out of the Duke's Mansion.
However, when he arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he saw a servant running out in a hurry and calling out to Pei Jingyuan.
The servant said, "Second Young Master is in trouble. Second Madam's stomach is suddenly very uncomfortable. They said there might be something wrong with the baby in her belly!"
"Second Young Master, has something happened to your wife?" Before Pei Jingyuan could answer the servant, Chen Feifei spoke first in surprise.
Pei Jingyuan was a little annoyed by the servant, but when he heard that Xu Qingyue's child might be gone, he was still a little anxious, after all, this was his first child.
He could only look at Chen Feifei awkwardly and said, "Miss Chen, I'm sorry! For today, you should go back home first. I will come to you another day to take your statement."
After saying that, Pei Jingyuan hurriedly walked towards Cuiyingxuan.
——Cuiyingxuan——
At this time, there were many servants standing outside Cuiyingxuan. Xu Qingyue was lying on the bed, holding her stomach. Her face was as cold as frosty.
"Has the Second Young Master come back?" Xu Qingyue kept asking the maid beside her.
The maid said tremblingly: "My dear Madam, it takes time to walk from Cuiyingxuan to the hall. The young master...should be...on his way!"
"Go and urge him again! If something happens to me, he should run back. Why is he still walking?" Xu Qingyue smashed the cup to the ground angrily.
When she heard that Pei Jingyuan was going to the government office with Chen Feifei, she began to panic. She couldn't watch her husband approach another woman!
"What are you doing!" Just then, her cup fell to the ground, and she saw Pei Jingyuan walking in from outside with an angry face.
"Jingyuan!" Xu Qingyue immediately shouted aggrievedly.
Pei Jingyuan walked in from outside with a gloomy face, looked at Xu Qingyue and said, "What on earth happened? Why does your stomach hurt?"
"I...I don't know either. It just hurt suddenly." Xu Qingyue lowered her head guiltily.
In fact, her stomach didn't hurt at all. She was just pretending to call Pei Jingyuan back. She didn't want Pei Jingyuan to get close to that merchant woman.
When Pei Jingyuan saw her expression, he naturally guessed the reason, and his face darkened.
Pei Jingyuan blamed Xu Qingyue, "You deliberately tricked me to come back? Do you know that I finally found an opportunity to get close to Miss Chen, but you ruined it?"
Xu Qingyue was immediately furious when she heard this. She shouted at Pei Jingyuan, "Jingyuan, I am your wife. Why did you go in contact with that Miss Chen? You said you only loved me. Why are you still thinking about someone else now?"
Pei Jingyuan and Xu Qingyue started arguing, "I'm pursuing Miss Chen for us. If your dowry wasn't for us and we were in urgent need of money, would I be like this? Not only do you not understand me, you're also ruining my business!"
Xu Qingyue retorted to Pei Jingyuan: "Are you blaming me? You must marry Miss Chen back, right? If you have the ability, why do you still rely on women!"
"Xu Qingyue!" Pei Jingyuan was instantly enraged when he heard Xu Qingyue's words. The word "depending on women" seemed to nail him to the pillar of shame of dignity.
"I'm telling you, stop messing around!" Pei Jingyuan said this angrily, then left Cuiyingxuan with a flick of his sleeves.
"Wuwuwu... Pei Jingyuan... you... wuwuwu..." Xu Qingyue was stunned by Pei Jingyuan's roar, and then she covered her face and started crying.
Xu Qingyue cried for a long time, but Pei Jingyuan didn't come to comfort her. Until night fell, her yard was still deserted.
At this time, Xu Qingyue really felt a little scared. This time she felt that Pei Jingyuan was determined to marry someone else.
"Fangdong, come here..." Xu Qingyue's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. She called Fangdong over and then instructed her in her ear.
The more this time comes, the more Xu Qingyue cannot sit and wait for death!
——Tingyuxuan——
When Xu Qingyan learned that Pei Jingyuan's plan had failed, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and she leisurely read a book and ate fruit in her own yard.
But what she didn't expect was that Xu Qingyue would do the opposite. In order to prevent Pei Jingyuan from marrying a merchant girl, she actually sent people outside to spread rumors about Pei Jingchuan and Chen Feifei.
——The next morning——
When Xu Qingyan went out shopping with her maid, she heard the people on the street gossiping.
"Hey! Have you heard that the young master was a hero who saved the daughter of the richest man, Mr. Chen, at Lingyan Temple yesterday!"
"I heard it, I heard it! Now Miss Chen is planning to marry me! She even went to the Duke's Mansion in person yesterday. I guess the Duke's Mansion will hold another wedding soon!"
"But didn't the young master of the Duke's Mansion get married last month? If Mr. Chen's daughter marries him, will she be a concubine or..."
"It's hard to say. I heard that the young master married the daughter of a sixth-rank official last month, which is not a high status. Although Mr. Chen's daughter is not an official's daughter, she is rich!"
"Are you telling the truth? Is Mr. Chen's daughter really going to marry the young master?"
"How can it not be true? Many people saw it yesterday. The young master and Miss Chen returned from Lingyan Temple alone."
"I heard that when the young master was saving people, he even held Miss Chen in his arms!"
