Mother Xu felt guilty for a moment, but she quickly looked away.
"No matter what you like or dislike, in my eyes, you are all the same."
"Yes, they are all the same." Xu Ying laughed to herself, "Eldest sister, second sister, me, fifth sister, all the girls in this mansion are the same. Only my younger brother is different."
It's the same whether she has a biological child or not.
"Alright, get well soon. I heard that the youngest daughter of the Tu family will be marrying into the Pei Mansion in four months. She will definitely be in charge of the household finances then."
She felt it was a pity, "You definitely won't be able to get involved. Now think about how you can please your mother-in-law after you get married."
"She's young, so I think she'll be easy to control. As long as you use the right method, the Pei Mansion will still be yours in the future."
"She's easy to manipulate?" Xu Ying wiped the tears from her face. "Who told you she's easy to manipulate?"
If Tu Qingyu was easy to control, she wouldn't be lying on this bed now.
Xu's mother paused, looked at her legs and fell silent.
"Don't even think about controlling her. Mom, please bless me so that I won't be played to death by her after I marry her."
"It's not that serious."
"Why not?" She looked at her legs sarcastically. "She entered the Pei Mansion before me. She must have taken control of the Pei Mansion. The most powerful people in the mansion also follow her."
"How do you know Pei Jian will go along with her? Their marriage, after all, was just because of a word from Master Wuliang."
"No, Pei Jian treats her differently." She even suspected that Master Wuliang would not have said those words if Pei Jian had not intended to.
"Forget it." Mrs. Xu stood up irritably. "I won't say any more of this to you. Think carefully about what to do next."
On the tenth day after the marriage was decided, Tu Qingyu received an exquisite lantern.
Everyone in the Tu Mansion was puzzled. The Lantern Festival had already passed, so why were they still sending lanterns?
Only Tu Qingyu knew that it was made by Pei Jian himself.
That night, she appeared at the side door of Pei Mansion carrying the lantern.
When the people in Pei Mansion opened the door, their eyes widened.
"Miss Tu, why are you here?"
Now everyone in the Pei Mansion, even the one who cooks in the kitchen, knows Tu Qingyu.
A portrait of Tu Qingyu was circulated throughout the Pei Mansion by the housekeeper.
Hundreds of people knew what their future wives looked like.
"I'm here to look for Pei Jian. Is he at home?" She shook the lantern.
"Yes, yes." The concierge nodded repeatedly. "Please follow me in."
"Don't you need to report it?"
"Hey, it's you who's here, not someone else. What else do you need to announce?"
My lord has already made instructions that whether the lady comes into the mansion before or after, seeing her is like seeing my lord.
Treat your wife with the same respect as you would treat an adult.
"I like what you said." Tu Qingyu looked at the maid beside her, "Chun Liu, reward."
Chunliu took out a bulging purse, but the concierge refused repeatedly, "No, no, no, how dare I accept your reward."
"Take it. I'm happy to reward you. If you don't accept it, I won't be happy."
"Hey." The concierge took it with a smile, "Thank you, ma'am, no, thank you for the reward, Miss."
"What did you call me?"
"Don't blame me, Miss. I'm used to yelling in my heart, so I didn't react for a moment."
"It's okay. I like you to call me Madam, so call me Madam."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man hurried over from the corner.
"Pei Jian!" She ran over with the lantern in hand and hugged him. "Pei Jian, I really like the lantern you made. Thank you."
The faint scent of camellia surrounded him, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, his pupils slightly dilated.
The servants around lowered their heads and dared not look again.
After a long while, he finally replied in a low voice, "As long as you like it."
Tu Qingyu released the hand that was holding him, raised his head, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Didn't you say that you can't make lanterns?"
Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her hair that was messed up by jogging.
"I just learned it." He didn't realize how gentle his tone was when he spoke to Tu Qingyu.
But the servants around discovered it.
They got goose bumps when they heard the gentle and doting tone of their master.
Tu Qingyu stretched out the hand that didn't hold the lantern and pinched his cheek, "That's great."
After pinching him, she stood on tiptoe and pecked him lightly on the cheek. The kiss ended instantly.
After kissing her, she smiled like a cat that had just gotten something. Her eyes curved up, "This is a reward for you."
Under the cover of night, his eyes became increasingly profound.
But she seemed not to see it and reached out to hold his broad hand.
"Let's go. I'm a little thirsty after running all the way."
He moved his Adam's apple and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you to drink some water."
"Then I'll go to your yard. It's a pity it's night time, so I can't get a good look at your mansion."
He held her soft little hand, and walked quietly forward with her hand. After a while, he whispered, "There's a long way to go."
"Yeah." She gently scratched his palm with her fingers, "I like you saying this."
"Give me the lamp." He was afraid that she would be tired holding the lamp, so he reached out and took it from her.
Tu Qingyu obediently handed the lantern to him, and he just held the lantern and walked through the long corridor.
Pei Kangsheng had just returned from Xu's house. When he saw this scene, he felt terrible.
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was indeed his father, and the fairy-like figure holding his hand was his ex-fiancée.
"Fang Xing, did you see that?" He still didn't give up. After swallowing, he reached out and patted the attendant beside him, "Is that father and Tu Qingyu?"
The attendant named Fang Xing also rubbed his eyes, then spoke with difficulty, "Th-then that is the Lord and Miss Tu...."
Another personal attendant spoke up from behind, "Sir, should we go and pay our respects to the Lord?"
"Bow?" Pei Kangsheng's face darkened, he clenched his fists, feeling hatred and anger in his heart.
Why did his father insist on marrying Tu Qingyu? How would others view him as their adopted son in the future? How would he behave in front of Tu Qingyu?
The most important thing is, what if Tu Qingyu gives birth to a child for her father in the future?
What does this Pei Mansion have to do with him?
"Master..." The follower felt that his face looked a little ugly and called him a few words in a low voice.
At this time, Tu Qingyu and his group had disappeared at the end of the corridor.
He turned around and said, "Let's go back."
