"What mistress? Zhou Yi, is what she said true? You lied to me again!"
"I didn't, Ali, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Pei Xiuli couldn't stand it any longer, as she was now a divorced wife and a mistress. She settled all the old and new scores together. Without even listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, she slapped him twice, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Zhou Yi! You're a liar full of lies! I'm going to beat you to death!"
"You promised me a big house, but I ended up having to squeeze into a tiny space with your whole family. You also said you'd love me your whole life, but now, all those divorced wives and mistresses have come running out! I shouldn't have broken off the engagement and followed you to Beijing! You beastly liar! I'll beat you to death!"
Zhou Yi didn't dare to fight back, and dodged while arguing: "Ali, Ali, listen to my explanation! Things are not what you think! Listen to my explanation! That is not..."
Su Li watched the show leisurely from the side, and added fuel to the fire at the right time: "Not what? You mean, the child born from the concubine is not yours?"
"Child! There is still a child! Zhou Yi, you bitch! You cheated me so badly!" Pei Xiuli beat him desperately like a madman.
Zhou Yi knew that with Su Li here adding fuel to the fire from time to time, he would definitely not be able to appease Pei Xiu Li, so he took the opportunity to run away.
Only when he was away from Su Li could he think of a way to comfort Pei Xiuli.
Pei Xiuli saw Zhou Yi running out and chased him, cursing, "How dare you run! I'll beat you to death, you liar!"
Seeing the two fighting each other, Xiao Wu and Xiao Ye felt so happy in their hearts!
Seeing that the lady was in a very good mood, the two of them became even happier.
Seeing that Pei Xiuli and the other person had run out of the house, Su Li was too lazy to care about them anymore and took the account book to look at it.
After a while, Xiaowu brought Pei Mingyue's invitation, asking her to have dinner at Mingyue Restaurant in the afternoon and then go to the dance hall to watch a dance performance.
Su Li thought that Pei Mingyue might want to find her to celebrate the death of Princess Rongfu, so she smiled and responded.
Seeing that it was still early, he was not in a hurry and continued to look at the account book.
Just after I finished looking at the account book, Xiao Wu came in again: "Madam, Madam Zhou is here again. This time she is alone, and it looks like she has been crying."
Su Li was stunned. Didn’t Zhou Yi coax her well?
Yes, after all, not everyone is as love-brained as Zhang Ruying, willing to be led by a man like Zhao Xingwen.
Zhou Yi himself is good-looking, but not to the point of being earth-shattering. Moreover, the eldest son of the Lin family, whom Pei Xiuli was originally planning to marry, was not bad-looking either.
In the original novel, Pei Xiuli agreed to marry Zhou Yi, mainly because she wanted to live the wealthy life of a noble lady.
However, after arriving in the capital, he found that Zhou Yi was not as rich as he had imagined. He was very disappointed and resentful, but thinking that his conditions were better than the Lin family, he just made do with it.
"Where are the people?"
"Outside the mansion." Without the lady's order, she would not let anyone in.
"Let her in."
"yes."
Xiao Wu left for a while and then brought Pei Xiuli in again.
Pei Xiuli was very dissatisfied: "Do I need to ask you for permission to enter this mansion?"
Su Li raised her lips and said, "You are already married, and now you belong to the Zhou family. You come to my Zhuangyuan Mansion, so you must ask me for instructions. Why didn't Zhou Yi teach you this rule?"
"Don't mention him to me!" Pei Xiuli said angrily and impatiently, "Arrange a room for me. I want to live here!"
Su Li readily ordered, "Xiao Wu, clear out a room for Madam Zhou in the back house..."
"What! The back room?" Pei Xiuli was incredulous. She knew that the back room was for servants in the Zhou family. "You want me to live in the servants' room? Su Li, do you know who I am? I am the sister of the real owner of this mansion, the owner of this mansion! You actually let me live in the servants' room!"
Who the hell is she, Su Li!
Zhou Yi said that Su Li's background made her unfit to be the future wife of the Duke of the Duke's Mansion.
My eldest brother will divorce her sooner or later and marry another woman from a noble family as his wife. By then, Su Li will be nothing and not even worthy of washing her feet.
Su Li said slowly: "Otherwise, except for the back house, there is no place suitable for you to live in the mansion."
"Of course not. The main house belongs to my eldest brother. Isn't there an east wing?"
"The east wing belongs to Pei Zhao. Pei Zhao is Pei Ji's eldest son. Why do you still want to live there? Why don't you go ask Pei Ji if he agrees? If he agrees, I have no objection. As for the west wing, that belongs to Chu'er. Similarly, you can ask Pei Ji if he agrees."
Pei Ji was not in Beijing anyway. Of course, even if Pei Ji agreed, she would not agree. It was just an excuse.
"What about the back room? Is there still a back room?"
The Zhou Mansion also has a back room, but it is only occupied by the daughters of Zhou Yi’s second brother.
"The back room," Su Li frowned and said in embarrassment: "You are already a married woman, it is not appropriate for you to live in the back room..."
She was telling the truth. The back room was located in the deepest part of the mansion and was mostly used by the unmarried daughters of the owner of the mansion. It was indeed inappropriate for a married sister-in-law to live there.
Of course, after all, it was because Su Li didn't like her anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn't have this attitude.
"You did it on purpose!" Pei Xiuli was furious. "You clearly don't want me to live here!"
"Yeah," Su Li admitted directly without caring, "You know I don't like you."
Pei Xiuli was the one who killed the original owner. She didn't kill her, which was already very unfair to the original owner. Could she still expect her to treat her well?
"You!" Pei Xiuli choked and then cursed: "This is my eldest brother's house. Why do you have the final say on where I live?"
"Why? Of course, because I'm Pei Ji's wife, because I'm the mistress of this mansion. If you don't want to live in the back room, you can just go back to your Zhou family. Don't forget, you're married now, Madam Zhou."
Pei Xiuli was so angry that she clenched her fists and her eyes were red. She knew that she would not get away with it today, so she glared at Xiao Wu and shouted, "Lead the way!"
Xiao Wu looked at Su Li and asked for instructions.
Su Li said calmly, "Go ahead." She added, "Remember, you are a servant of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, not a servant of her Zhou family."
This meant that she didn't have to listen to Pei Xiuli's orders. Xiao Wu was delighted and responded quickly, "Yes!"
"Mrs. Zhou, please..."
No matter how stupid she was, Pei Xiuli understood the meaning of Su Li's words. Her elder brother was not in the capital, and she only hated Su Li for being too bullying. When her elder brother came back, she would definitely complain to him. Anyway, it was only a matter of time before her elder brother divorced her.
Then, let’s see how she deals with her!
snort!
She snorted coldly and left with Xiaowu.
Su Li didn't care about her attitude at all and just told Xiao Ye: "Keep an eye on her."
Having come all this way to marry Pei Xiuli, a stepping stone, Zhou Yi wasn't going to give up easily. She was sure there was more trouble to come. She wanted to see what tricks they had up their sleeves...
