Cui Shangshu was stunned. He looked at Pei Heng up and down, and then looked at Fang Xu, his eyes full of sympathy, mixed with traces of schadenfreude.
Fang Xu covered his chest and suppressed his anger, "Xie Shu'er, don't forget your identity. Now admit your mistake and follow me back to the Hou Mansion, and I can forget the past!"
She gave her a chance, and it was up to Xie Shuer whether she could seize it or not.
Seeing her mother's sullen expression, Xie Shuer subconsciously shrank her neck and huddled behind Pei Heng silently.
This is silent resistance.
Not to mention Fang Xu, even Bai Ji and Su Zi behind her blushed, angry at the young lady's inaction.
"Stop your wishful thinking!" Pei Heng made up his mind to be a hero and save the beauty. He stood upright, covering Xie Shu'er tightly, "Shu'er will not go back with you. Although the Hou Mansion is a powerful family, but It’s also an exquisite prison, and Shu’er is already overwhelmed by the cumbersome and ridiculous etiquette!”
"If you really treat her as your daughter, you shouldn't control her like this!"
"Pei Lang..." Xie Shuer's eyes were filled with tears, and her delicate and tender hands tightly grasped the hem of Pei Heng's clothes.
It was obvious that Pei Heng's mindless words really moved her.
Fang Xu rubbed his brows and resisted the urge to crush Xie Shuer to death. He dug his toes on the ground in embarrassment and asked patiently, "Xie Shuer, I just want to ask you, will you come back to this house?"
Xie Shuer was keenly aware of Fang Xu's change of mood, and felt vaguely uneasy, but she still shook her head and refused to give in, "Mother, my daughter is not wrong, please make it happen!"
If it comes true, she will definitely make it come true.
But not now.
"Xie Shu'er, you are really ashamed of the cultivation that the Hou Mansion has given you." Fang Xu looked heavy, shook his head as if helpless, and greeted the mother-in-law behind him, "Someone, drag the young lady back to the Hou Mansion!"
Two or three women responded, rolled up their sleeves and gathered around Xie Shu'er.
"Pei Lang!" When Xie Shuer heard this, her face was in panic, and she grabbed Pei Heng's clothes and refused to let go.
"Hey, madam, please don't get angry. Shu'er is still a child after all, with a young mind." Cui Shangshu waved the folding fan in his hand, with a decent curvature on his lips, as if he was begging for mercy.
Old guy, he's pretty good at acting.
Fang Xu rolled his eyes in his heart, smiled apologetically at Cui Shangshu, and said in a gentle voice, "What happened today is a joke to Mr. Cui. Don't worry, sir. I will definitely take this evil girl back to the house and discipline her."
"It's easy to talk about." Cui Shangshu stroked his beard and looked back at her with a smile, "It's just that what happened today was really embarrassing."
They are all old foxes who have become spirits. How could Fang Xu not understand what the old guy said?
Fang Xu curled his lips and smiled, then bowed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cui, I will definitely give an explanation to Shangshu Mansion about this matter."
"That's very good. I can rest assured when Madam is doing her work." Cui Shangshu closed the folding fan, smiled easily, and couldn't hide the excitement in his voice, "Madam, please go slowly, I won't send you off."
Fang Xu nodded and turned to look at the grudge couple who were entangled with the mothers-in-law.
Everything is ready, only Xie Shuer's final blow is needed, and she can preserve the reputation of the Hou Mansion and escape unscathed.
"You bunch of blind bastards, if you dare to touch this young lady, be careful I betray you!" Xie Shuer struggled hard, her originally bright and charming little face was now ferocious, looking a bit sinister.
Those women were all old people who stayed in the Hou Mansion to serve their masters. After listening to Xie Shuer's words, not only were they not afraid, but they pulled Xie Shuer's arm a little harder.
"Miss, the slaves have been in the Hou Mansion for many years, so they are not scared! Madam has issued an order. Even if you don't want to, you must go back with the old slaves!"
Fang Xu stood there calmly, watching the farce with interest.
"I won't go back!" Xie Shuer grabbed the hem of Pei Heng's clothes and burst into tears. "Even if I die, I will die with Pei Lang!"
"Shu'er..." Pei Heng was so moved that he put his hands around Xie Shu'er's slender waist. His brows were so furrowed that they could kill a fly. He glared at Fang Xu angrily and shouted, "Why are you like this?" Vicious? Why do you insist on breaking up Shu'er and me?"
Fang Xu looked at him funny and didn't answer.
Little did he know that it was her calm and composed look that deeply hurt Xie Shuer. Being in love, she thought her mother looked down on Pei Heng because of her family background, and felt that Pei Heng was not worthy of talking to her.
Xie Shu'er looked at Pei Lang who was standing firmly beside her. She didn't know where she got the strength to push the woman in front of her away. She couldn't hide her hatred and said, "That's enough. I'm pregnant with Pei Lang's child! I will never do it." I will go back to that cage with you, and I won’t continue to be the canary you keep in the cage!”
As soon as these words came out, both Cui Shangshu, who had not yet returned home, and all the people watching the excitement were dumbfounded. The originally bustling market was silent, except for Fang Xu who curled his lips slightly.
The final blow has come.
"You...what did you say?" Fang Xu staggered a little, his face turned red instantly, and his eyes were filled with tears. Bai Ji and Su Zi beside him immediately stepped forward to help him stand. She is unstable.
Xie Shu'er looked at her heartbroken mother, feeling a sense of revenge in her heart. She proudly raised her chin and pressed it against Pei Heng's side.
Pei Heng was overjoyed, hugged Xie Shu'er's shoulders, and said in a cheerful voice, "Shu'er, are you serious about this?"
"Of course." Xie Shu'er lowered her head shyly, holding her hands on her flat belly, with a sweet look on her face, "It's only been more than a month. I originally thought I would tell you after three months when things stabilized, but who would have thought that my mother... ....”
After saying that, Xie Shuer glanced at Fang Xu displeasedly, as if Fang Xu was blocking their family of three from moving towards a harmonious and happy life.
"Evil girl..." Fang Xu secretly squeezed Su Zi and Bai Ji's hands hard, and the next second, he closed his eyes and fell backward.
"Madam!" Su Zi was the first to react, hugging Fang Xu's sliding body, and her voice was tinged with tears, "Madam, please don't scare me!"
Fang Xu, who was pretending to be dizzy, could hardly hold back his laughter.
The girl Su Zi cried with genuine emotion, as if something had really happened to Fang Xu.
Before the nervous Bai Ji could react, Su Zi was already about to die.
"Take madam back home quickly and ask for a doctor!" Bai Ji almost roared, picked up Fang Xu and ran towards the carriage.
Suddenly, there was chaos.
Seeing her mother fainted, Xie Shuer's body trembled, a hint of fear rose in her eyes, she subconsciously shook her head and murmured, "I'm not angry... Mother... I didn't mean it!"
"Don't be afraid, Shu'er, your mother just can't accept it for a while." Pei Heng held her hand, frowned and comforted, "You are pregnant now, she will always accept us!"
Xie Shuer's heart calmed down at Pei Heng's words, and she nodded shyly, completely ignoring her mother's safety and only focusing on her Pei Lang.
"Take the young lady back." Su Zi stepped forward, interrupted the two men's ear-to-ear flirting, and commanded the women beside them, facing Pei Heng with a cold face, "As for this person, he is not allowed to enter the Marquis' Mansion!"
Now that Fang Xu was in a coma, the only two people present who could mobilize the servants of the Hou Mansion were Su Zi and Bai Ji, who were the mistress's personal servants. Upon hearing this, the mothers-in-law immediately ignored the young lady's struggle, tied her hands, and forced her to Another carriage was dragged in.
