Chapter 56 Admiration
"Hey! What happened?" At this moment, a curious female voice suddenly came.
Xu Qingyan turned her head and saw a young woman in gorgeous palace clothing, with pearls and jade on her head, looking very noble. Behind her were several maids with extraordinary demeanor walking towards them.
"Greetings to the Third Prince's Wife!" The noble ladies around her all knelt down and saluted towards the woman.
Xu Qingyan finally understood that this woman was actually the Third Prince's wife! In order to avoid being criticized, she followed the group of noble ladies and bowed.
"Jin Yu, this is..." The Third Prince's wife cast her gaze on Xu Qingyan, examining her carefully from head to toe.
"Third Prince's wife, this is my sister-in-law, Xu Qingyan." Pei Jinyu introduced her to the Third Prince in a serious manner.
"Oh! Is she the concubine who was married to Young Master Pei after being swapped?" The Third Prince's wife sighed softly when she heard this.
The Third Prince's wife deliberately called Xu Qingyan a concubine's daughter, and there was a hint of sarcasm and jealousy in her eyes.
At this time, the noble ladies standing by saw the Third Prince's wife coming, and instantly felt their backs straightened even more, and looked at Xu Qingyan with even more arrogance. And, they began to mock her again.
"Third Prince Consort, please don't say that. We asked her that just now, and she became unhappy. She even made up a story about us."
"Yes! She said that the young master likes her, and that none of us ladies can compare to her!"
"Third Prince's Consort, you must not deal with such a person! Jin Yu, it's okay that she is ignorant, but you are of noble status, you must not let this person lower your status!"
"Stop talking nonsense. It was obviously you who spoke rudely first. Why are you turning the tables?" Pei Jinyu was so angry that she quickly explained.
Originally, Pei Jinyu thought that the Third Prince's wife would be different from them, but she didn't expect that she would speak in a strange way, because she didn't know who among these noble ladies was the first to cause trouble, but it was because of the order of the Third Prince's wife that she dared to do so.
Xu Qingyan held the angry Pei Jinyu, smiled faintly at the Third Prince's wife and said, "Yes, I am the Crown Prince's wife of the Duke of Ying's Mansion, and I am the legal wife of the young master who has worshipped the heavens and the earth and his parents."
Xu Qingyan said in her heart: [How is it? Do you like the answer I gave? You arranged such a drama behind my back to bully me today. Aren't you jealous that I can marry Pei Jingchuan? You have already become the third prince's consort, but you still miss my husband so much. You are really eating from the bowl and looking at the pot! ]
Xu Qingyan knew that the third prince's wife in the book had always been secretly in love with Pei Jingchuan. After Pei Jingchuan died, she secretly cried for a long time. Therefore, she knew how to speak in order to touch the heart of the third prince's wife the most.
At this time, Pei Jinyu, who was standing aside, had already frozen in surprise after hearing Xu Qingyan's complaints, thinking: No way! The third prince's wife actually has a crush on my eldest brother?
At this moment, the smile on the Third Prince's wife's face froze after hearing this. Indeed, Xu Qingyan's words that could admit her identity so openly made her crazy.
The third prince's wife was depressed in her heart: Why? Why can she, a concubine's daughter of a sixth-rank official, marry the young master Pei whom she has admired since childhood? Thinking back to the beginning, I also thought about marrying Pei Jingchuan, even if I knew he was sick, but I always felt that as long as I married him, I would definitely find a way to help him find a famous doctor! I believe Pei Jingchuan will not die! But what can I do? My father didn't agree, and finally forced me to marry the third prince. Over the years, I have been depressed about this. Fortunately, Pei Jingchuan has never married, which makes me feel better. At least what I can't get, other women can't get it. But later, I suddenly learned that Pei Jingchuan was going to marry the daughter of a sixth-rank official, and I was very annoyed about it, especially knowing that he was replaced by the concubine's daughter of a sixth-rank official in the end. How could such a humble identity be worthy of the glorious young master Pei! This made me feel very unwilling.
"Qingyan!" At this moment, before the Third Prince's wife could continue speaking, a familiar voice came to Xu Qingyan's ears.
"Young Master!" It was not Xu Qingyan who spoke, but the Third Prince's wife who spoke before Xu Qingyan. She looked brightly at Pei Jingchuan who was walking towards Xu Qingyan.
Pei Jingchuan ignored the Third Prince's wife and just walked silently to Xu Qingyan's side. Then, in front of these women, he took Xu Qingyan's hand.
"So, you are here. I've been looking for you for a long time." Pei Jingchuan looked at Xu Qingyan seriously. No one noticed that his heart was already in turmoil at this moment.
Just now when he came to look for Xu Qingyan, he happened to hear Xu Qingyan's inner complaints. He then learned that the Third Prince's wife actually loved him? Moreover, it seemed that this group of women gathered together just to bully Xu Qingyan. So, he came over immediately.
Xu Qingyan glanced at Pei Jingchuan, and couldn't help but blame him in her heart: [It's all because of the damn charm of the young master, otherwise I wouldn't have encountered so much hostility! Look, since the third prince's wife saw my husband, she couldn't even pretend anymore. Her fiery eyes, isn't she really afraid of being seen? And those noble ladies beside her, they looked at my husband with crazy eyes. Oh... It's all because of the young master's face! Even though they all know that he will die soon, they are still so crazy about him. The young master is really a hateful rotten peach blossom! ]
Pei Jingchuan looked slightly embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't expect this to happen!
"Hey! Why are you all looking at my elder brother like that? Could it be that you all really admire my elder brother? This won't do! My elder brother is already married, you should quickly put this thought in your mind away." Just when the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Pei Jinyu, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke proudly.
They had just been surrounded and bullied by this group of women. Now, after seeing the way they looked at her eldest brother, she knew that her sister-in-law was right.
Instantly, Pei Jinyu felt that she had found a reason to attack those noble ladies. Humph! They are really just women who only know how to envy, jealousy and hate!
After being exposed by Pei Jinyu, those women immediately blushed in embarrassment, lowered their heads, and quickly denied it.
Even the Third Prince's wife smiled awkwardly and said, "Jin Yu, what are you talking about? We were just a little curious, so we took a look."
"What are you curious about?" Just as the Third Prince's wife finished speaking, a man's voice came from behind.
Instantly, the Third Prince's wife turned around nervously and said to the man, "Husband, why...why are you here?"
"Your servants pay their respects to the Third Prince!" All the noble ladies also bowed.
The third prince was seen wearing a crimson purple python robe with a four-clawed coiled dragon embroidered with gold thread on the robe that was faintly visible in the light and shadow. He was seen turning a jade ring on his thumb, and his upturned phoenix eyes were flashing with a cold light. A sneer appeared on his thin lips, making his originally porcelain-white and handsome face look sinister, making his original handsomeness seem a little eclipsed by Pei Jingchuan.
"Young Master Pei!" The third prince came over and gave Pei Jingchuan a friendly smile.
Pei Jingchuan nodded calmly, bowed his hands and made a simple salute, saying: "Your subordinate, I pay my respects to the Third Prince!"
When Xu Qingyan saw the Third Prince's wife frozen in place the moment he appeared, she couldn't help but have an idea, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm here to answer your question. They are all curious about my husband. These noble ladies, including the Third Prince's wife, seem to envy me for being able to marry my husband!"
"Really?" The Third Prince's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and then he looked at the Third Prince's wife beside him.
