Su Wenyue smiled. How could she not understand Pei Yuhan's intention? Pei Yuhan was really sinister. Not only did she try to sow discord between the two sisters Lan Xin and Lan Fang and their stepmother, she also plotted against her, trying to destroy the relationship between her and her aunt. In other words, she was nice to her two half sisters, but not attentive to her own aunt.

Pei was not a narrow-minded person. She did not seem unhappy after hearing what Pei Yuhan said. However, it would not be right to say that she did not care at all. What Pei Yuhan said was true, and she always felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that her aunt didn't react much to what she said, Pei Yuhan continued, "Aunt, there is something else that I told you not to think too much about. Those of us who know think that Cousin Yue treats my cousin well, while those who don't think that you treat your concubine badly, so you have to think about the two cousins ​​in this way. Otherwise, how come the two cousins ​​have changed so much after living in the Han family for a while?"

After Pei Yuhan said this, Pei's face turned gloomy. It was unknown whether it was because she felt that Pei Yuhan shouldn't have said this, or if she really took Pei Yuhan's words to heart, but her face didn't look very good anyway.

Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang's hearts sank. After not seeing each other for a while, Pei Yuhan became even more vicious. She even said such a thing against her will. She had secretly framed them before, but now she framed them openly. To be honest, they had no grudges or conflicts with Pei Yuhan. They had endured Pei Yuhan's abuse of them before. They really didn't know why Pei Yuhan did this. What benefit could she get from doing this? !

Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang wanted to argue. It didn't matter if they were blamed by their stepmother, but they couldn't let this matter cause estrangement between their stepmother and their cousin. That would really be their fault. But when the words came to their lips, they didn't know how to refute Pei Yuhan's words. If they said it, there would be no persuasiveness at all, and they were even more afraid that this would make their stepmother unhappy.

Su Wenyue sneered, glanced at Pei Yuhan with disdain, and then looked at Pei: "Aunt, do you also believe what cousin Yuhan said? Do you think I have such thoughts? Originally, I thought that I didn't have a sister, so I favored my two cousins ​​a little when I saw that they were sensible and obedient. After all, as aunt said, although our second branch was separated, the relationship between the two families remains unchanged. The two cousins ​​are the daughters of uncle after all, and they have to call aunt mother on weekdays. For this reason, it's good for sisters to be close and warm. I never expected cousin Yuhan to say such a thing. If so, I will never dare to associate with the two cousins ​​in the future. It doesn't matter if aunt misunderstood me. The two cousins ​​are good people. I don't want to alienate aunt and the two cousins ​​because of my little thoughts."

It's not that Pei didn't understand the situation. As the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, she could not hide Pei Yuhan's little tricks from her. It's just that everyone has their own selfish desires, and it's inevitable that she is a little unhappy. She is even more angry that her niece from her mother's side is becoming more and more out of control. After all, they are now guests in the Su Mansion. If she tries to sow discord in front of everyone, what will her second brother and his wife think? Although her mother-in-law doesn't come out much and doesn't care about things on weekdays, she has sharp eyes and ears. If she knew, she would probably blame her. After all, Pei Yuhan is her niece from her mother's side, and it would be a sin for her not to discipline her well.

"Yueniang, Yuhan is an ignorant child. She was raised by her stepmother, so it is inevitable that her temper has been distorted and she thinks things in an extreme way. Don't bother with her. I will discipline her well." Pei said this. If she really parted ways with the second house because of this matter, not to mention her father-in-law and mother-in-law, even her husband and son would probably be unhappy. The brothers of the Su family have always had a good relationship. Her husband and son favor the only legitimate daughter of the second house and have always been indifferent to her niece from her mother's side. Perhaps it was also because of their personalities. If they knew about this, they would probably dislike Yuhan even more. She was a little disappointed with Yuhan's performance during this period, but she was her own niece, so what could she do.

Pei Yuhan felt dissatisfied when she heard what Pei said and wanted to say something, but Pei glared at her fiercely, so she shut up and dared not say anything else.

Su Wenyue naturally saw this scene. Pei Yuhan was clearly looking for trouble. If she let her off easily this time, she might become even more aggressive in the future. So she said, "Aunt, it's not that I want to argue with cousin Yuhan. Aunt also knows that I'm not that petty. It's just that cousin Yuhan's words are too inappropriate. I sympathize with some of cousin Yuhan's experiences, but I can't agree with her behavior. Listening to the meaning of her words, her intentions can even be said to be malicious. She keeps calling us cousin, but does she really regard us as sisters?"

Pei originally wanted to keep the matter vague, after all, it was not a big deal. But she did not expect Su Wenyue to be so straightforward and say it directly, which made it difficult to deal with. However, she did not mean to blame Su Wenyue in her heart. After all, her niece was raised by her second brother and his wife since she was a child. She had not experienced the intrigues in the back house, so it was normal for her to be simple in nature. If she really had a complicated mind, she would not like it. The older she was, the more status and experience she had, the more she liked simple things.

"Yue Niang, it's your cousin who is wrong. But she may not have such bad intentions. She just doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. I'll let your cousin apologize to you. Please don't be angry with her. If she does it again in the future, your aunt will not let her off easily."

Pei had said so, Su Wenyue couldn't hold on to it, otherwise it would be seen as her being unyielding, so she nodded and said, "I'll listen to my aunt, but cousin Yuhan, you have to be careful in the future. Not everyone is as good-tempered as me and can let things go with a few words of apology."

"Aunt, I..." When Pei Yuhan heard that she was asked to apologize to Su Wenyue, she was not willing to do so. Moreover, Su Wenyue's words clearly implied that she was taking advantage of the situation and was trying to teach her a lesson. Even if she was not good enough, she was still the daughter of the prefect. How could she apologize to the daughter of a merchant?

"Yuhan, what did I teach you? If you do something wrong, you must admit it. You misunderstood your cousin, so it's only right for you to apologize now. Otherwise, you don't have to acknowledge me as your aunt!" Pei's tone could be described as harsh, and it was also because of Pei Yuhan's attitude.

When Su Wenyue heard Pei's words, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Pei Yuhan leisurely, waiting for Pei Yuhan's apology. Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang watched Pei Yuhan being forced to apologize by her stepmother, and they felt refreshed. It turned out that the cousin was really powerful. With just a few words, she made the stepmother favor her.
