Chapter 64 Design
The setting sun leans on the branches of the sycamore trees, dyeing the dark tiles of Tingyu Pavilion into honey color. Roses hang down the green walls, hydrangeas cluster like brocade, and roses slant out tender yellow buds from the cracks in the rocks. Looking at it at this moment, it is as warm as a scene in a painting.
When Xu Qingyan's graceful figure and Pei Jingchuan's slender back walked in from outside the door, they added a bit of vitality to the courtyard.
"Madam, the maid of the second young master's wife is here. She said she has something to discuss with you." Xu Qingyan had just entered the room to rest for a while when the maid Dan Yan came in from outside and said.
After hearing this, Xu Qingyan showed a surprised look, but still waved her hand to let her maid in.
"Young Master, the Crown Prince's Wife." The little maid sent by Xu Qingyue bowed to them after coming in, then looked at Xu Qingyan awkwardly and timidly.
She stood there for a while, hesitating, before she stammered, "Madam, my second wife wants to... wants to invite you over. She said... she has something to ask you."
"You mean Xu Qingyue? She has something to talk to me about?" Xu Qingyan didn't care that Xu Qingyue ignored her identity and let her go.
Because she herself was not that sensitive to the ancient etiquette. But now she was surprised that Xu Qingyue would actually look for her. What good things could she have?
"No! Go back and tell your Second Madam to learn the rules of respect and courtesy first, and then send someone to talk to the Crown Prince's wife!" Before the maid could answer, Pei Jingchuan on the side scolded coldly.
Pei Jingchuan is a true ancient man, so he is naturally extremely sensitive to these etiquette and laws.
Xu Qingyue, the wife of a bastard, actually dared to put on airs and ask Xu Qingyan, the wife of the prince, to go to her. This was simply a disregard for etiquette!
"Yes!" The little maid was frightened by Pei Jingchuan's aura. She dared not say anything else and went downstairs quickly.
Xu Qingyan praised Pei Jingchuan, "My husband is so handsome! I haven't even come up with a reason to refuse, but you helped me reject it. That's great!"
She despised Xu Qingyue in her heart and said: [This Xu Qingyue, it is definitely not a good thing for her to come to me at this time. She recently had a quarrel with Pei Jingyuan and even had a miscarriage. After so long, Xu Qingyue and the others have not explained to her mother. It seems that she came to me this time, and she is probably looking for an opportunity to frame me! Tsk tsk... It seems that I can't go to Xu Qingyue recently, so as not to cause trouble! ]
Pei Jingchuan, who was sitting next to her, was so happy that his smile almost fell to the back of his ears when he heard what Xu Qingyan said. But after hearing her inner voice, he was surprised again. How could Xu Qingyue's child die so quickly? Moreover, why didn't anyone spread the news? She actually wanted to use this matter to frame Qingyan. This wouldn't do. She must not succeed! He had to get someone to investigate this matter.
——Cuiyingxuan——
When Xu Qingyue learned that she was rejected and scolded by Pei Jingchuan, she became even angrier.
But after getting angry, she calmed down and decided to find another opportunity to go to Xu Qingyan the next day, because her miscarriage would soon be exposed.
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Xu Qingyue took the initiative to visit Xu Qingyan's yard.
"Sister-in-law, I've been here for such a long time, why don't you pour me a cup of tea?" Xu Qingyue sat on a chair, holding a handkerchief, and smiled faintly.
Xu Qingyan looked up and glanced at her, then smiled faintly and said, "You're here too early. I haven't even had time to boil water for the tea in my yard! If you're thirsty, go back to your own yard and drink."
She didn't dare give Xu Qingyue water to drink. What if she drank it and then held her stomach and had a fit, and wrongly accused her of poisoning her? That would be terrible!
Knowing that Xu Qingyue came here deliberately to frame her, Xu Qingyan could only think of various ways to avoid contact.
Xu Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She secretly clenched her hands under her sleeves and thought: Isn't this right? Her first plan was to secretly sprinkle the powder while drinking tea to slander Xu Qingyan, but who knew that she was so stingy that she didn't even give herself a cup of tea!
So Xu Qingyan and Xu Qingyue just sat there for a while without any beginning or end in sight.
"Sister-in-law, I see that you stay in the yard every day without any children to accompany you. It must be quite boring. How about I accompany you to stroll in the garden?" Xu Qingyue thought of an excuse again and looked at Xu Qingyan and smiled.
"Boring? I don't think so! Yesterday, I went to the palace to attend a banquet with my husband and others. You have no idea how rich life here is! After seeing the magnificence of this palace, the garden in this house is instantly eclipsed!" Xu Qingyan smiled at Xu Qingyue, trying to trick herself into going to the garden, and then play a trick, watch me counter her move!
Originally, Xu Qingyue said this to mock Xu Qingyan for not being pregnant, but who knew that it would give her a chance to show off that she went to the palace yesterday!
At this moment, Xu Qingyue couldn't hide the displeasure on her face, and she almost scratched her palms until they bled.
"Since, sister-in-law dislikes strolling in the garden, why don't you take me to play some games? I heard that you and Jinyu invented something called shuttlecock. Can you teach me so that I can play it?" Xu Qingyue thought of her purpose and suppressed her anger. She thought of an excuse.
As long as Xu Qingyan played games with her, if she had a miscarriage, she would not be able to escape the responsibility!
Xu Qingyue originally thought that if this was the case, Xu Qingyan would not be able to find any reason to refuse, and this was something she liked, but Xu Qingyan's words almost made her curse on the spot.
"Kicking shuttlecock? You are so weak on weekdays, can you kick shuttlecock well? I'm telling you, stop wasting your time, haha..."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Do you look down on me?" Xu Qingyue asked after hearing Xu Qingyan's words.
"What I said is the truth! Isn't it because of your weakness that Pei Jingyuan is attracted to you? In his eyes, you are so fragile! You can't even walk steadily and you can fall into the lake. If you play shuttlecock later, you don't know where you will fall! In my opinion, you'd better stay here honestly!" Xu Qingyan said lightly after hearing this.
"You..." Xu Qingyue was so angry at Xu Qingyan that she kept taking deep breaths. It's not that she couldn't hear the meaning behind this. Xu Qingyan was mocking her for pretending to be weak!
Although she did pretend like this in front of Pei Jingyuan, and it was with this image that she attracted Pei Jingyuan, but when Xu Qingyan exposed her like this, she was still very unhappy. Talking to Xu Qingyan like this was simply going to piss herself off to death!
Therefore, Xu Qingyue left Tingyuxuan angrily. However, she did not give up. After she knew that it would be unsuccessful to find Xu Qingyan directly, she had someone secretly follow Xu Qingyan. Once they knew where she went, someone would tell her immediately.
No, she found an opportunity in the afternoon. Pei Jinyu asked Xu Qingyan to play shuttlecock in the yard. When Xu Qingyan and Pei Jinyu were having fun in the garden, Xu Qingyue followed them after smelling the scent.
Xu Qingyue came out with a maid and chuckled, "I thought the shuttlecock was so difficult, it turns out it's just like this! Sister-in-law, you refused to teach me this morning, it's really too much!"
"Xu Qingyue? Why did you follow me?" Xu Qingyan curled her lips and looked at Xu Qingyue unhappily.
"Second sister-in-law, you are pregnant. This kind of activity is not suitable for a pregnant woman like you. It is better for you to stay in the yard and take care of the fetus." Pei Jinyu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but frowned and said after seeing Xu Qingyue.
Xu Qingyue raised her eyebrows and said shamelessly: "But I'm really too bored to be alone, so I want to come and play with you guys. Is that not okay?"
