Chapter 373 Wontons in Memory
"Are you here to look for your eldest brother? He's already out and might not be back for a while."
"No, I'm not looking for my eldest brother, I'm here to find my eldest sister-in-law." He smiled innocently, which would make people let down their guard, but Song Ci wouldn't do that. Isn't that person from the Song family good at acting?
"What do you want from me, second brother?"
"I heard that my father locked up my mother because of my sister-in-law. Is this true?"
It turned out that they had come to call for punishment.
"Yes, that's true."
She admitted it so frankly that Pei Heng was stunned.
"Then I'll be bold and ask, could you please, sister-in-law, please go and talk to father in person and let mother out? My mother loves a lively life, and it's not a big deal for her to be locked up here. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Not only did they want her to be released, but they also wanted her to go in person. Song Ci hadn't heard of such a shameless request in a long time.
"Since Father has given such an order, I believe he must have his reasons. I'm afraid I can't plead for my second brother."
"In the final analysis, it was nothing more than the servants' negligence. The maid named Zhen'er is already dead, and my sister-in-law is still unwilling to let this matter go."
"It's not that I don't want to reveal it, it's my father's decision, and we can only obey."
Seeing that Song Ci used his father to pressure him in every word, the smile on Pei Heng's face faded a little.
"It seems that my sister-in-law is unwilling to help."
Song Ci didn't say anything, but keeping silent is the best attitude.
Pei Heng stood up suddenly, walked to the door and paused, then turned around and smiled, "Sister-in-law."
Song Ci raised her eyes and met his gaze without dodging, "Second brother, please speak."
"My eldest sister-in-law is a rare beauty, but it's a pity that she married my eldest brother."
He left with some confusing words, turned around and left, and the gorgeous hem of his dress quietly and silently left the yard. Tian'er and Wanxiang were furious.
"How dare he be so rude to the young lady? This matter must be told to the son-in-law."
Tian'er nodded, "This servant also thinks that this matter must be told to Master."
Song Ci: "Telling him will only make him angry and embarrassed. Can he still pick up the sword and kill Pei Heng?"
The two also thought about it. If they told Pei Ji about this matter, what would happen if Pei Ji went to settle the score with Pei Heng and Pei Heng denied it?
"Besides, there have been too many moves recently. Now is not a good time."
Master Pei was only indifferent to his daughter-in-law. If she continued to cause trouble, he would probably be disrespectful to her and Pei Ji.
"Then what does the young lady think we should do?"
"Don't worry, just go on with your life as usual. He's provoking us, and we're giving him an opportunity by throwing ourselves into disarray."
And at this moment, in Shaoqing's yard.
Pei Heng was lying on the bed at an angle, and Shao Qing was undressing to serve him.
Seeing her like this, Pei Heng waved his hand uninterested, indicating that she didn't need it, and Shao Qing did as he was told.
Don't be fooled by Pei Heng's gentle and harmless appearance. In fact, he is a man of his word behind people's backs. If Shao Qing doesn't follow his requests, the only one who will suffer will be Shao Qing.
"What's wrong with you, Master? You look so distraught when you come here today."
Pei Heng smiled, and Song Ci's eyes, which seemed to have scattered fragments all over the ground, appeared in his mind. Those eyes seemed to have magic, which made him unable to help but think about them over and over again.
Although she had clearly killed Pei Heng's mother, Pei Heng couldn't hate her after seeing her.
"I went to see my sister-in-law today."
"Second Master, what kind of person do you think she is?" Shao Qing lay obediently beside him, breathing sweetly.
"She is very beautiful, even more beautiful than I thought. It's a pity..."
Shao Qing understood the meaning of the word "regret" in his mouth, but this understanding made her shudder.
Pei Heng actually fell in love with Song Ci? His sister-in-law really has ulterior motives.
After serving for these days, Shao Qing has accepted her current identity. She knows that her life is closely related to Pei Heng. Only when Pei Heng is well can she be well. She is just a concubine, but as a concubine, she also wants to be a pampered concubine.
Fortunately, Pei Heng still has some feelings for her.
"Could it be that you like the young lady?"
Hearing the jealousy in her mouth, Pei Heng smiled and patted her face, his movements casually, as if he was patting a pet.
"Are you jealous? Don't be like this, I don't like it."
"She's already married to Pei Ji, Second Master, you can't do anything stupid."
Shao Qing was also trying to comfort him with good intentions. If Pei Heng really couldn't figure it out and did something to Song Ci, and was discovered, it would be a huge disgrace and his future would be ruined.
Moreover, Song Ci already has Pei Ji, so why would she seduce Pei Heng?
Pei Heng's voice suddenly turned cold. "You have no right to control what I do or what I want to do. Shao Qing, remember your identity. You are my concubine, my dog. If I like you, I will tease you more. If I don't like you, I will get rid of you."
Shao Qing was so frightened that she didn't dare to continue speaking. Pei Heng smiled with satisfaction, hooked her chin with his fingers, and placed a cold kiss on her lips.
"You're still cute when you're silent."
Shao Qing looked extremely frightened, and such fear and timidity made Pei Heng feel bored.
Boring.
He thought of Song Ci again. Her appearance and temperament were the most interesting.
It's just a pity.
That night, he rarely failed to favor Shao Qing. They both slept with their clothes on. However, Shao Qing, who was lying on her side with her back to Pei Heng, had tears of humiliation on her face.
I woke up early in the morning, and the morning light outside sneaked in from the corner of the window and fell on the bed. The black hair spread on the bed was like an excellent landscape painting. The woman's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she was beautiful and lovely. The light in the room was not clear. In this hazy light, she looked like a quiet Epiphyllum.
Pei Ji brushed away a strand of hair from her cheek, and Song Ci muttered, "Pei Ji, stop it."
After saying that, he turned aside and continued to sleep.
Pei Ji found it interesting, but he didn't tease her and just watched quietly.
Perhaps it was because the gaze was too hot, Song Ci on the bed finally reacted. After waking up, she looked at him with confused eyes.
There was some moisture in his eyes, and Pei Ji felt hot all over, with that familiar and hot feeling sweeping over him.
He coughed lightly and said, "Now that you're awake, I'll have someone set up the meal. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
The tone was gentle and doting.
Song Ci didn't have much of an appetite this morning, so when he asked, he just said, "I want to eat some small wontons. With chicken soup as the base."
My mother is the best at making small dumplings. When she was a child, she had a good appetite and could eat more than ten at a time. But the Song family was poor, so the first and second wives could eat enough at one time. Song Ci could only get five or six at a time.
So the wontons in my memory seem particularly delicious, probably because rare things are valuable.
"Okay, since you want to eat, let the kitchen make it."
Now that Song Ci is in charge of the kitchen, he naturally dares not neglect the work. When he heard that the young lady wanted to eat wontons, he quickly cooked a bowl and served it with thick chicken soup.
