At the Pei family, Tu Qingyu was sent to the bridal chamber after paying homage to heaven and earth.
She thought she would have to wait for a long time, but unexpectedly, Pei Jian returned to the bridal chamber in just half an hour.
He took the wedding scale and lifted the veil. The red candlelight reflected on the jade-like face, adding a bit of charm.
Tu Qingyu looked up at him, "Uncle Pei, why are you back so early?"
"I'm afraid you'll have to wait too long."
In fact, among all the guests in the room, who would dare to force Pei Jian to drink?
After he had been accompanying her for a while, someone politely suggested that he go back to accompany the bride first.
Tu Qingyu smiled at him, and the glance in his eyes was heart-pounding.
He still held the scale with a little force, trying his best to restrain himself before speaking normally, "Are you hungry? I brought some food."
In fact, there were always Tu Qingyu’s favorite foods in the bridal chamber, just to prevent her from being hungry.
But he still brought some back himself.
"Yeah, I'm hungry." She nodded and reached out her hand again, "Uncle Pei, help me up. The crown on my head is so heavy."
Pei Jian didn't pull her up, but took a step forward and stood beside her, "I'll take it off for you."
"Ah?" Tu Qingyu covered his head and said with distrust, "Do you know how to do this? Otherwise... let Chunliu and the others do it."
Pei Jian didn't say anything, but went straight to her and gently took off the crown on her head.
The movement was so gentle that not even a single hair was caught.
Dabao: "Ever since he got engaged to you, he has been practicing on the mannequin every day. Taking off the crown is a piece of cake. He can also draw eyebrows and match clothes."
They also didn't expect that Pei Jian would be such a reserved person.
Tu Qingyu: "I know, but I can't know."
After picking them, she looked up and asked, "Pei Jian, how come you are so skilled?"
"You'll learn it if you try." Pei Jian answered calmly.
Tu Qingyu held his broad hand and smiled slyly, "As expected, the person who gets the top six is really smart."
Seeing this smile, Pei Jian wondered for a moment if she knew something.
But then he thought it was impossible, because he did everything in the secret room of Pei family's library, and no one would see it.
Pei Jian pulled her up, and she seemed to be caught off guard and bumped into his chest.
"Uncle Pei!" she accused, "Why didn't you say anything?"
"Sorry." He raised his hand and gently rubbed her forehead where she had bumped. "Does it hurt?"
"It's alright, it's okay." She blushed and lowered her head. "Let's go. I'm hungry."
His fair skin was tinged with a natural blush. His fingertips curled slightly, his eyes deep, "I'm hungry too."
Everything is freshly made and is Tu Qingyu's favorite.
"Uncle Pei, you should eat too." She picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
He originally wanted to say that he was not hungry, but since this was the dish that Tu Qingyu had picked for him, he still picked up his chopsticks and ate it.
The more Tu Qingyu ate, the deeper his gaze became.
After finishing her meal, she put down her chopsticks and shrank her neck. "Uncle Pei, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you full?"
"I'm full." She nodded obediently.
"Yeah." He nodded, then stood up, walked to Tu Qingyu, and picked her up by the waist, "I'll take you to wash up."
"Ah." She cried out softly because of his sudden action, and subconsciously put her arms around his neck, "I can do it myself."
"You are too tired today."
"I'm not too tired to walk."
"Yeah?"
He lowered his head, a smile in his eyes, "I hope you can say the same thing later."
The red candle flickered, and after a night passed, even a strong man like Tu Qingyu felt a little regretful for his previous teasing.
…
In the Xu Mansion, Xu Ying slowly woke up, and as soon as she woke up, she heard her mother talking to her eldest sister about what she saw and heard at the Tu family's wedding banquet today.
"Oh, you didn't see it. That wedding dress, that material, I've never seen it before in my life."
"I heard that the crown on Miss Tu's head is also priceless."
"It's more than just a crown. A ring on her finger is enough for our family to use for several years."
“How could it be so luxurious?”
"Well, the Pei and Tu families are aristocratic families. They are already rich, so it's okay for them to be a little extravagant."
"That's right, Miss Tu is really lucky."
"That's right, why didn't I give birth to a daughter whose fortune could be read by Master Wuliang?"
"Mother, you don't have to worry too much. Isn't my sister going to marry into the Pei Mansion soon?"
"I was happy before, but now... the Pei Mansion has a real mistress, and your sister will marry into the family as a daughter-in-law, which means she is a step below them in terms of generation.
Your sister has always been at odds with the daughter of the Tu family. The two of them are almost at odds with each other. If she marries him, I don't know what kind of suffering she will have to endure.
Besides, she married an adopted son, and Duke Pei has been hesitant to ask for the title of Crown Prince. When he has his own biological child in the future, what will Pei Kangsheng have to do with him?
Naturally, Xu Ying had nothing to do with it.
"This... is there really no way?" The eldest daughter of the Xu family pinched her handkerchief, her face full of worry.
In fact, she also wanted to climb up the Pei family.
Xu Ying did such a shameless thing, which made her suffer some contempt behind her back, but she could also clearly feel that those people only dared to gossip about her behind her back and were more respectful on the surface.
Yes, that’s the Pei family.
Although he is just an adopted son, he is the only adopted son.
If she can successfully inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future, and her younger sister becomes the Duke's wife, it will benefit the entire family.
Madam Xu rolled her eyes and said, "There is a way, but I don't know if your sister dares to do it."
"What method?" Xu Ying woke up at this time.
Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were red.
Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu were both startled by her sudden voice.
Miss Xu didn't say anything, so Madam Xu started scolding her first, "You're courting death. Who are you trying to scare to death by suddenly speaking?"
Xu Ying ignored her scolding. She stood up and held Mrs. Xu's hand. "Mom, what method are you talking about?"
"This..." Mrs. Xu hesitated. "This method is a bit against the will of heaven and earth. In fact, I don't recommend it."
"Mother, please think about my brother. If I can't gain a foothold in the Pei family, how can I provide for my brother?"
After hearing this, Madam Xu immediately made up her mind, "Come closer and listen."
They thought they were speaking very confidentially, but in fact Dabao recorded everything.
When Tu Qingyu and Pei Jian were doing something, it was locked in a small dark room. It couldn't stay there by itself, so it went out for a walk.
I wandered around outside all night and collected a lot of information.
Among them was the Queen Mother in the palace, who, after getting drunk, had an affair with a guard whose features looked a bit like Pei Jian.
There is also the story of Princess De'an, who went out of the palace to watch a wedding, but failed to return to the palace before the key to the palace gate was released. On Chang'an Street, she met a beautiful scholar and had an encounter with him.
