Chapter 68 Is it sarcastic?
Lu Qiaoxiao clearly felt the grip on his hand become tighter, and heard the person beside him say calmly, "Okay, Mr. Pei, the Second Master's kindness, this Prime Minister and my wife accept it."
A Yao, who was not far away, heard all these conversations. He couldn't help but admire the second master Pei.
The young master, who has a calm temperament and almost never loses his temper with others, was actually provoked into a bit of irritation and impatience by this Second Young Master Pei.
It had been many years since he had seen the young master speak to his fan in such a domineering manner, with a frown on his face and obvious disgust.
Pei Jinxuan's expression changed slightly, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister Chen, Qiao Xiao and I have a deep friendship. Please allow me to hand the gift to her personally."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people present changed.
When A Yao heard this, he wanted to step forward and shut Pei Jinxuan up.
The young master and Miss Lu have such a good relationship, yet he shamelessly wants to interfere.
This person didn't know how to cherish in the past, and now that he has seen a real pair of mandarin ducks, he wants to break them up?
Shen Yuheng's face was gloomy, and his free hand was clenched tightly in his sleeve.
He took a deep breath and turned to ask Lu Qiaoxiao what he meant.
Lu Qiaoxiao nodded slightly at him and gave him a look that said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Seeing Pei Jinxuan's inconsistent and disgusting face, she felt a surge of anger in her chest that she wanted to vent.
Taking a few steps forward, although Lu Qiaoxiao was a head shorter than Pei Jinxuan, she raised her chin with a sense of arrogance and condescending attitude.
"Qiao Xiao." Pei Jinxuan looked at the face that often appeared in his dreams recently, and a wave of tenderness surged in his heart, and even his voice became much gentler.
"Second Master Pei, please address me as Madam Shen Xiang. This is more proper."
"Otherwise, others will mistakenly think that I have some connection with you, Second Master Pei."
Lu Qiaoxiao's voice was emotionless, and it was as cold as an icicle hitting Pei Jinxuan's heart.
Pei Jinxuan cried out in his heart: Is it possible that there will be no connection between the two of them from now on?
But in the end, he didn't dare to say it in front of Shen Yuheng.
"Okay, Madam Chen." Pei Jinxuan almost gritted his teeth and uttered these words reluctantly.
He presented an exquisite wooden box in his arms and opened it: "This is my wedding gift to you."
Lu Qiaoxiao was stunned when his eyes fell on the box.
My heart felt like it was stabbed by something, and memories came flooding back.
On her fifteenth birthday, Pei Jinxuan gave her a hairpin like this.
The hairpin is made of transparent emerald jade, and is inlaid with colorful glass beads and embellished with a vivid little butterfly.
She liked it so much at that time that even when Pei Jinxuan gave her this gift, she refused to do it in front of others.
Instead, he chose to give it to her privately after the crowd had dispersed, and his attitude when giving her the hairpin was not very polite.
However, after she married into the Pei Mansion, the hairpin was taken away by Lin Miaofu. She was so angry that she went to Pei Jinxuan to argue, but in the end, he only said lightly: "It's just a hairpin, why are you so stingy? Qiao Xiao, as the mistress of the Pei Mansion, you should be more tolerant."
Even now, when she recalls these words, her chest still feels as if it has been hit hard and suffocated.
Seeing that Lu Qiaoxiao didn't say anything and her eyes showed some thought, Pei Jinxuan became even more certain that she still had him in her heart, and even her voice became lighter.
"Do you remember? I gave you a hairpin like this on your fifteenth birthday. This time, I asked the store to engrave your words on the top..."
A Yao watched as his young master's face grew darker and darker, his fist hanging by his side trembling slightly.
Lu Qiaoxiao lowered his eyes and took a look, and sure enough, there were two "Qingzhi" characters on the inside of the hairpin.
only--
"Second Master Pei, you gave me and Prime Minister Shen a gift like this as a wedding gift. Are you wishing us happiness or are you trying to break up?"
Lu Qiaoxiao stared at Pei Jinxuan with a sharp gaze, and spoke word by word, "Only relatives can use my nickname. Who are you to me? How could you engrave my nickname on a piece of jewelry as a gift to me?"
"Second Master Pei comes from an aristocratic family after all, yet he doesn't even know the difference between men and women, and the distinction between inside and outside?"
Pei Jinxuan's face darkened as soon as these words came out. On the contrary, Lin Miaofu, who was standing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her firecracker-like words.
Suddenly, a light cough was heard behind her. Lu Qiaoxiao turned around subconsciously, only to see Shen Yuheng looking at her with innocent eyes, as if smiling.
Ayao's eyes suddenly widened.
He just saw the young master smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly smug smile.
But that smile was quickly put away the moment the lady turned her head.
"Second Master Pei, did you hear what my wife said?" Shen Yuheng walked forward and put his arm around Lu Qiaoxiao's shoulders as if declaring his sovereignty.
"If it were a wedding gift for me and my wife, it would be fine."
"It's better not to bother Mr. Pei with the hairpin that has my wife's nickname on it."
As he spoke, Shen Yuheng pulled the box out of Pei Jinxuan's hand. "It's just that this thing is too personal. It would be hard to explain if it got out. I've taken it away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Ayao.
A Yao immediately came forward and handed Pei Jinxuan a bag of silver.
"No need--" Pei Jinxuan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with humiliation.
He wanted to refuse the so-called compensation, but the servant beside Shen Yuheng stuffed the heavy gold into his hands almost savagely.
Lu Qiaoxiao pursed his lips and his gaze fell on Lin Miaofu again, "Second Master Pei, I heard that Minister Pei and Madam Li have not been in good health recently, and it is Miss Lin who is taking good care of them."
Lin Miaofu looked up with some confusion. Is Lu Qiaoxiao so kind?
Lu Qiaoxiao continued, "Second Master Pei, if you still have any gratitude, you should take responsibility."
After saying that, Lu Qiaoxiao took Shen Yuheng's hand and turned to leave.
Pei Jinxuan looked at the backs, and the last bit of light in his eyes was extinguished. Suddenly, a small hand wrapped around his arm and pinched it.
"Brother Xuan, let's go."
Pei Jinxuan felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart, but he still let Lin Miaofu pull him back to the carriage.
On the carriage:
"Don't you want to take a closer look at this hairpin?" Shen Yuheng's tone seemed nonchalant, but he opened the box directly, took out the hairpin, played with it, and carefully examined the quality of the jade. "It is indeed top-quality jadeite."
"Pei Jinxuan, he cares a lot about Madam." Shen Yuheng turned his head to look at her, his tone seemed nonchalant, but his knuckles were turning white as he pinched the hairpin.
Lu Qiaoxiao frowned slightly. Why did this sound a bit strange?
But she couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Is it sarcastic?
