Chapter 360 Rescue
Her slender waist was gently embraced by someone, and her whole body flew into the air. She subconsciously put her arms around Pei Ji's neck, and saw him holding her, stepping directly over the puddle of water, walking up the steps, and coming to the door.
The old woman was stunned.
Pei Ji looked at her coldly, "You almost splashed the water in front of me and the young lady. Go down and get ten sticks."
The old woman was stunned, then began to wail, "Master, I was wrong. I really didn't see it clearly. Please forgive me, Master."
Before he could finish his words, he was dragged away by Alin and a group of people.
Mrs. Pei was in the room, her face pale, and she turned to look at Mr. Pei.
"Look, are you here to pay me a visit or to intimidate me? I'll beat you up if I say so."
The tone was extremely aggrieved.
Master Pei said: "This woman has no rules in her behavior. You should teach your subordinates more."
Madam Pei: "But you shouldn't have slapped me, your mother-in-law, in the face today. How can I stand before them in the future?"
Master Pei: "When they come in later, I will talk to Pei Ji. You should also talk to the servants in your yard for not knowing the rules."
The words of twenty big boards made Mrs. Pei's face look extremely bad, but she recovered the moment Pei Ji and Song Ci entered the room.
"Meet father and mother."
"Meet father and mother."
Old Master Pei smiled kindly, waved his hand to invite them over, and asked a servant to bring up a plate.
Master Pei: "This is my gift to you."
Two jade pendants were placed neatly on the plate, each engraved with auspicious patterns. The jade was of high quality, and Song Ci took it with ease.
Madam Pei: "This is my gift to you. I hope you will take care of each other and support each other in the future. Especially Song Ci, you will be the wife of the prince in the future, and the young lady of the Pei family. You need to be more generous."
Saying she had no generosity? Madam Pei almost indirectly criticized her for being a small-time family.
Song Ci smiled slightly, "Madam is right. I will definitely learn from you in the future. Only then can I show the demeanor of the young lady of the Pei family."
There was no sign of weakness in his tone.
Mrs. Pei was furious and turned to talk about what had just happened, her tone full of complaints. "I heard the noise at the door just now. The servants were wrong, but today is your day. How can you fight and kill like this? If it gets out, people will say that our Pei family is unkind."
Pei Ji: "Rewards and punishments should be measured. No one dares to criticize. To disobey your superiors is to bring disgrace to the Pei family."
Mrs. Pei narrowed her eyes slightly, unable to hide the coldness in them. "It seems that you are becoming more and more opinionated. You don't take me, your mother, seriously at all. I can't say anything to you."
Master Pei: "How can you talk to your mother? Your mother is doing this for your own good."
Knowing when to quit, the two of them just listened silently to Master Pei's lecture, and after they had said what they needed to say, they planned to leave.
Pei Ji walked to the door, paused, and said, "I haven't seen my second brother today, and I don't know where he went."
A simple sentence almost made Mrs. Pei lose control of her anger.
Where did he go? Pei Ji was pretending to be stupid. Thinking of her own son being harmed like this, she wanted to kill Pei Ji right now.
"Something happened to your brother. I'm afraid he can't come today."
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows: "We are all family. What happened to my younger brother that I, as his elder brother, should not know? If you need any help, please feel free to ask."
Mrs. Pei forced a smile and said, "If you need any help, I will definitely ask."
Pei Ji nodded and said, "Since there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."
As soon as Pei Ji left, Mrs. Pei burst into tears.
"My son, what should I do? Master, this matter must be related to Pei Ji..." Mrs. Pei said with sobs.
“This matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet, even if you blame Pei Ji.”
"Master, are you still going to favor Pei Ji? How will there be room for Heng'er and me in this mansion in the future?"
Mrs. Pei cried even more sadly.
She was already beautiful, and her tears were charming. Master Pei couldn't bear to see her cry, so he consoled her with a reassuring word, "This matter is both big and small. Heng'er hasn't married yet, so Shaoqing can be a concubine. When the wife gets married, she can have children."
Last night Pei Heng, Shao Qing and others discovered that it had become a good thing.
Shao Qing was so frightened that she was taken back. Pei Heng was in a daze. The doctor took his pulse and said that he was seriously deficient and needed to rest well. Mrs. Pei was so angry that she broke her well-maintained nails and kept scolding Shao Qing as a vixen and a damn witch.
Shao Qing hid in the house and now dared not come out.
"Let Shaoqing be Heng'er's concubine..." She was unwilling to do so, as Shaoqing was not a good person.
"Why, do you feel that Shaoqing has been wronged?" asked Old Master Pei.
"No, it's just that I married Shao Qing. How should I explain this to the Ruyang Palace?" Mrs. Pei was in a dilemma.
"You're still thinking about becoming in-laws at the Ruyang Palace." Old Master Pei sneered, "The princess of the Ruyang Palace is so temperamental that she definitely won't accept Heng'er taking a concubine before getting married."
The Princess of Prince Ruyang's Mansion beat one of Prince Ruyang's concubines to death when she was twelve years old, but because she was favored, Prince Ruyang did not punish her.
In recent years, her temper has become more and more difficult to please. Many snobbish and powerful families dare not marry such a person home, but Mrs. Pei is very tempted.
Prince Ruyang has a powerful family behind him. Wouldn't it be easier to deal with Pei Ji with their help if he were to be married?
Song Ci was from a small family, but her sisters-in-law were quite powerful, so she had to be suppressed and beaten.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Pei felt relieved.
I no longer care about the princess's temper.
Seeing that she was not giving up, Master Pei continued, "If you marry her as your daughter-in-law, there will be trouble in this house in the future. You won't be able to live in peace either."
Mrs. Pei didn't care.
She only saw the good points. As for the bad points, she, as the mother-in-law, could deal with them properly after the princess got married.
After all, the mother-in-law's status is there, even if she is a princess, she has to give her some respect.
Three days later, Pei Heng announced to the public that he had taken in his concubine Shao Qing, which was also the day when Song Ci returned home on the third day.
Song Ci got up early in the morning, washed and prepared herself. She tied her hair into a simple bun and wore a blue skirt embroidered with twined flowers, which made her fair skin and beautiful face look even more fair and fairy-like.
Pei Ji: "You are so happy. From the moment you woke up this morning until now, your smile has never faded."
Song Ci: "I am indeed very happy. I miss my mother, my father, my eldest brother and the sisters of the Qiao family."
Pei Ji: "If you want to go back in the future, I will accompany you anytime."
Song Ci smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The two of them have much more tacit understanding than before they got married.
