Chapter 226 Negotiation
Pei pushed the bald man out of the door.
"Put on your monk's robe! If someone finds out, no one will be in trouble!" Pei looked around and tied the man's monk's robe herself.
The man looked at her lazily.
"So what if you find out? Lu Yuanze doesn't care about anything. You are the one who makes the decisions in the mansion."
"His children are expelled from the family tree, and only your son inherits the family. Who in this house dares to disobey you?" The man gently pulled Pei's hair.
Pei sneered.
But the scenery she wanted was not like this!
She wanted Xu to leave the house in disgrace with her children, she wanted to see Xu in agony, and she wanted to trample Xu to death.
Instead, Xu was like a fish in water.
And she was trapped in a cage.
Pei heard a low cry in her ear and was annoyed: "Why is the old woman still crying? Can't you stop her from crying?"
The bald man followed behind leisurely.
When Pei arrived at Deshan Hall, she smelled a strong stench before she even entered the gate.
She fanned herself with her palms, her eyes full of disgust.
The maid at the door bowed in panic: "The old lady has been lying on the ground, shivering all over. She peed all over the floor. I guess she's cold..." Pei ordered people to extinguish the charcoal fire. It was bitterly cold in February.
Even young people are wearing cotton-padded jackets, let alone the paralyzed old lady who is even more afraid of the cold.
"Cold? What's cold? You cry every day, I guess you have a bad temper." Pei's face was cold.
The maid lowered her head and dared not say anything else.
"You go back first, I will serve the old lady myself." Pei took a glance, and the maid looked at the old lady shivering on the ground and retreated.
The bald man closed the door.
The old lady was wearing thin clothes, her trouser legs were soaked with urine, the wet trousers stuck to her body and were freezing cold.
It was snowing heavily outside and there was no charcoal fire in the house, so it was terribly cold.
When the old lady saw Pei and the bald man, she shrank suddenly. Then a strong hatred burst out from his eyes.
But she could only wriggle on the ground like an old caterpillar.
"Don't look at me like that!" Pei went up and slapped her.
"I'll let you torture me, I'll let you torture me!"
When the old lady first became paralyzed, Lu Yuanze hired several maids to look after her day and night. The old lady wanted to eat, drink, and defecate all the time at night, and Pei's face turned yellow from all the torment.
She also has to massage her legs every morning and evening, and her hands tremble with pain.
In order to torture her, the old lady deliberately peed in her pants and asked her to clean it. Pei Shi couldn't eat all day...
"There will be no filial son for a patient who has been sick for a long time. How long has it been since your son came to see you?" When he was first paralyzed, Lu Yuanze would visit him every day.
But after a few months, Lu Yuanze no longer asked.
The old lady looked at her with resentment.
"Do you think I'm Xu Shiyun? When you caught a cold, she stayed by your bed all night, brought you water whenever you coughed, massaged your shoulders and legs when you were tired, and carefully tried to make you happy?"
Pei slapped her face.
"I don't have as much patience as her. I am content to be a humble maid." Pei said disdainfully.
"Ms. Xu takes care of your excrement and urine, and massages your shoulders and legs. I can't do that." Mrs. Pei looked at her newly done nails and ignored the old lady's regretful cries.
The old lady's cloudy eyes were filled with tears. How could she not regret?
Xu was gentle and considerate. She was the daughter of a wealthy family and she was always humble and submissive to make him happy.
Even though he had never served anyone before, he learned to take care of her little by little. He never puts on a bad face, nor does he show off his status as a noble family.
As an old lady from the countryside, she was afraid that Xu would look down on her, so she always used her status as a mother-in-law to make things difficult for her. But Xu had no complaints...
There is no harm without comparison.
The old lady was full of regret and hatred. Why did she drive Xu and her grandchildren out of the house? !
A good family was broken up.
The title of marquis was also gone.
The old lady was drooling and sobbing. If it were Mrs. Xu, she would have served her thoroughly and taken great care of her, right?
Pei sneered and saw the regret in her eyes, but she didn't care.
"Why are you in this attitude now? I'm not Xu, I won't feel sorry for you! I'm not as cheap as her, serving you day and night."
"If you really loved me, you should have brought me back to the Marquis' Mansion long ago instead of keeping me outside for eighteen years. Do you really think that I would be grateful to you?" Pei looked at her with a cold face.
"Don't look outside the door, Lu Yuanze can't come."
"Jing Huai stole Yan Shu's article, and Lu Yuanze fainted. Oh, you don't know this yet, do you? Jing Huai's reputation as a genius is because he stole Yan Shu's article. You old woman, you are so lucky. The Marquis' Mansion actually produced a true genius!"
"But you are not blessed. God gave you a genius, but you drove it out." Pei knew what she cared about and hit her in the heart.
Sure enough, the old lady had a ferocious face.
Actually crawling forward little by little.
"Ah! Ah! Poison...poison..." Poisonous woman!
The old lady wailed and looked at her angrily.
But she couldn't control herself and couldn't even utter complete words.
"What kind of vicious woman am I? I'm not as vicious as you!"
"Do you really think you are so kind and innocent? You are more vicious than me!" Pei spat, spitting directly on her face.
Pei looked at her with disdain.
"The old marquis fought for many years, following the late emperor in conquering the world. The late emperor bestowed upon him several concubines. The concubines were young and beautiful, and were proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting..."
"You cried, made a scene, and then hanged yourself, so the old marquis dismissed his concubines. What about you?"
"I know that I come from the countryside, I am crude and vulgar, and I cannot compare to the beautiful concubines."
"The old marquis has already let his concubines go, and you sent people to slash their faces!"
The old lady paused. It was such a long time ago that she could hardly remember it.
"That's all."
"Do you still remember your personal maid?"
"That maidservant seems to have the surname Li, and her name is Qiao Niang, right?" Pei had been married for a year and had already figured out everything about the mansion.
"When you first arrived in Beijing, you saw that the women there were dignified and beautiful. You were afraid that the old marquis had been bewitched, so you sent your personal maid to the old marquis' bed. You asked her to help you win over the old marquis..."
"The old marquis had no intention of taking a concubine, but you drugged him and made it happen."
"Afterwards, the old marquis took pity on Qiao Niang and made her his concubine. But you regretted it!!"
"You saw that the old marquis was very kind and gentle to Qiao Niang. When she was pregnant, you put her in a sack and drowned her in the moat! One body, two lives!"
Pei didn't notice that the bald man behind her was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Suppressing the anger in my heart.
"Qiao Niang was eight months pregnant at that time, and the baby was about to be born. How cruel you were..."
"The old marquis has become estranged from you because of this matter. Even Lu Wanyi was obtained by you getting the old marquis drunk..."
"It's been so long, do you still think you're kind? What kind of good person are you?!"
Pei pinched her nose with disgust.
"Li Yuanxi, why don't you throw her into the ice water and wash her." Pei gave the bald man a blank look.
