As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence in the empty courtyard.
Seeing Bai Ji nodding, Xie Shu'er was the first to react, clenching the handkerchief in her hand, staring straight at Fang Xu with hope that couldn't be hidden in her eyes.
Fang Xu found it funny. The Pei family thought they had found a piece of fat. They eagerly came forward to propose marriage without waiting for the two houses to cancel the engagement.
Fang Xu suppressed his thoughts and whispered to Bai Ji, "You go and deal with it for a while, I will come later."
Then he turned his head to look at Su Zi beside him and whispered, "Immediately write a letter of divorce in my name and send it to Shangshu Mansion. Remember, you must be quick!"
No matter what, this letter must come first to the Pei family!
The two maids immediately understood the madam's thoughts, responded, and ran quickly outside the courtyard.
Xie Changqing thought of the current power of the Shang Shu family, his eyes darkened, and he called out without giving up, "Mother!"
"Shut up!" Fang Xu's impatience reached the extreme, his beautiful eyes widened, and he shouted loudly, "If you say one more disrespectful word, I will have your mouth sewn up!"
Xie Changqing was slapped in the face by his mother more than once today, and now he was annoyed. His breath was a little heavier, his handsome face turned red, he suddenly brushed his sleeves and strode out of the hospital.
Xie Shuer wanted to plead for her eldest brother, but she was worried that if she spoke too much, she would make mistakes, offend her mother, and lose the chance to marry Pei Lang, so she had no choice but to lower her head and huddle in place like a quail.
Fang Xu glanced around the people in the courtyard and said coldly, "You guys, follow me to the hall and have a look."
Xie Shuer was eager to see Pei Heng right away. As soon as Fang Xu finished speaking, she ran toward the courtyard gate with a face full of joy.
Xie Li's face didn't change, and there was no wave in his eyes. He put one hand behind his back and stood beside Fang Xu.
Xie Miao was in a trance, her head slightly lowered, and her little feet seemed to be nailed to the bluestone bricks, unable to move.
Among the people Madam called, there should be no one like me...
"What are you doing standing there? Do you want me to come over and invite you?"
The voice came from the front, and Xie Miao raised her head as if she had just woken up, and met Fang Xu's bright eyes.
Xie Miao felt like she was dreaming, and pointed at herself with her little finger, "I...I too..."
"Why, aren't you a member of the Hou family?" Fang Xu frowned, imitating his original attitude towards him, and said angrily, "Move quickly, I don't have much patience."
Xie Miao trembled all over, quickly raised the corner of her skirt, and whispered, "Yes... it's madam, I'll be here right away."
"You two, please have tea." Bai Ji bent down, took off the two silver needles on the tray, and placed them on the table beside their hands.
Sitting on the side seat is a woman, Pei Heng's grandmother Yang. She is dressed simply, her chest is full of unwashed oil stains, she has a mean appearance, a hooked nose and high cheekbones, and her shrewdness is evident in her eyebrows. With a ruthless attitude, he sat carelessly on the mahogany carved chair, crossing his legs and shaking happily.
Seeing that Bai Ji and the other maids were dressed cleaner than herself, Ms. Yang suddenly felt dissatisfied and cursed, "How can I buy such an unruly girl like you from such a good mansion!"
Bai Ji was so surprised that he forgot to choke for a moment and asked, "Where did I lose my rules?"
"You still dare to be so stubborn?" Mrs. Yang slapped the table, pointed at Bai Ji and yelled, with a stern look on her face, "Why don't you lift the lid of the cup and let it cool when you serve the tea? You let me drink such hot tea, you mean it?" Do you want to burn this old lady to death? When our little Heng comes into the house, I have to sell you little bitch!"
When Fang Xu led people to the hall, he happened to see an old woman in her sixties insulting Bai Ji. The scolding was very unpleasant, and spittle flew everywhere.
"This white tea needle needs boiling water to brew it. If the tea lid is open and one end is unstable, the hot water will splash out, which may cause burns."
Fang Xu's lips curled up slightly, and he walked slowly into the hall. His eyes fell on Mrs. Yang, and his tone contained a hint of mockery, "I thought that only dead pigs in this world are not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Who would have thought that this lady would be the same?" Don’t be afraid.”
"Madam." When Bai Ji saw her, he felt aggrieved. However, due to the presence of Xie Shu'er, he had to bow politely and call her.
Fang Xu looked at Bai Ji who was so wronged that he was about to explode. He raised his brows lightly and said with a suppressed aura, "Bai Ji, raise your head. You are the eldest maid in my courtyard. No one dares to do anything to you without my order." !”
When Bai Ji heard this, he immediately stood up straight and raised his chin, looking like he refused to accept anyone.
"Are you insulting my grandmother in a roundabout way?" Pei Heng stood up and clenched his hands tightly into fists, as if trying to suppress his anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fang Xu was startled, his eyes full of confusion, "How could I insult your grandmother in a roundabout way? You must have misunderstood."
She was clearly a direct insult! All you have to do is report your grandmother’s ID number!
"Yes, yes, yes, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Seeing that something was wrong, Yang quickly jumped out to smooth things over, pushed Pei Heng, turned to look at Fang Xu with a smile, "In-laws, Xiao Heng has a bad temper. Please be more patient!"
At this time, not only Fang Xu was stunned, but Xie Li and Xie Miao were frozen in place, unable to recover for a while.
"My in-laws...are you calling me?" Fang Xu looked surprised, pointed at himself with his fingertips, and asked.
Yang smiled broadly, patting her thigh and replied, "Of course, the two children have been close to each other for a long time, and Shu'er is pregnant, so we are just in-laws!"
As soon as the words fell, Xie Shuer's face turned red, her head lowered, and her fingers rolled around the handkerchief.
What a beautiful girl!
Xie Miao, who was sitting in the lower seat, bit her lip and looked at Pei Heng and Yang, speechless for a moment.
Xie Li had a cold face, blowing tea leaves with his head lowered, unwilling to raise his head to look again, for fear of staining his eyes.
Fang Xu laughed at Yang's logic and asked, "Since you are interested in getting married at the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, I might as well ask you if your family has prepared a betrothal gift for Pei Heng?"
"Ready, ready!" Mrs. Yang nodded, with an excited look on her face, and put her hand into her belt, rummaging for something, "Don't worry, in-laws, this is a necessary process. Our Pei family is a serious family, and others have us." Naturally, Shuer will not be missing either!"
"Thank you, grandma." Xie Shuer responded obediently and looked at Pei Heng secretly. Seeing the latter looking at him, her face turned redder.
Fang Xu looked at her coldly, sneering in his heart.
The marriage has not yet been arranged, and she calls me "grandmother" who is more affectionate than my own mother!
"Look at this kid Shu'er, he's so sensible and smart! He's a perfect match for our Xiao Heng!" Yang laughed to herself, raised her hand to take out a cloth bag from her belt, and opened several layers before revealing the inside. money, "My dear, this is the dowry gift we have prepared for Shu'er, please take a look at it!"
Fang Xu lowered his eyes, his eyes were splitting for a moment, his voice was raised a few degrees, his face was full of disbelief, "Three strings of copper coins?"
She underestimated the shame of this family!
