Originally, Pei'er thought that she had no choice but to die and could think of nothing else.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wanyu was willing to take her in.
Coupled with the guidance of an experienced person, Aunt He, she no longer wanted to seek death and directly signed the deed of sale.
The next day.
While drinking tea, Xie Wanyu looked at the contract of sale written in black and white on the paper, with Pei'er's signature on it.
Pei'er knelt on the ground, her eyes swollen into walnuts.
She didn't look up, just sobbed softly.
"Pei'er, from now on, you are mine. If you are willing to get married in the future, just say so and I will definitely not make things difficult for you." Xie Wanyu said.
Pei'er raised her head slightly and said, "If it were someone else, I might have hesitated, but I've heard of my lady being kind to her servants. Besides, if I die like this, my relatives will hate me and my enemies will be happy."
She was full of hatred for Xue Xuening.
After all, no one is a fool, and it is impossible not to understand the truth.
"It's best if you think clearly." Xie Wanyu said.
"My humble life is to live for hatred." Pei'er said.
Xie Wanyu nodded and let her go down. In this way, Xue Xuening had another enemy.
In any case, Xie Wanyu never thought about asking Pei'er to take revenge or anything. She just felt pity for Pei'er. After all, Xie Wanyu also had a certain responsibility for Pei'er's tragedy.
The chrysanthemums in the Hou Mansion are also in bloom.
Xie Wanyu was dragged by Pei'er to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
There were refreshments on the table next to the garden. The tea was hot and it looked like it had just been prepared.
"There should be someone here, let's go over there." Xie Wanyu said.
Pei'er probably didn't expect it, so she responded and helped Xie Wanyu to walk to the other side.
Since that incident, Pei'er rarely went out. If she hadn't taken the initiative to go to enjoy the flowers, Xie Wanyu might not have listened.
It was rare that she was interested.
Not far away, I met Xue Fu.
He was wearing a sapphire blue gown, holding a landscape painting folding fan in his hand, looking carefree.
Pei'er's face turned pale at that time, and she stared at the person with round eyes.
Xie Wanyu calmly stopped Pei'er behind her and looked at Xue Fu with a stern face.
"Mrs. Hou." Xue Fu cupped his hands towards Xie Wanyu, and then looked at Xie Wanyu with his eyes without hesitation.
"Yes." Xie Wanyu responded, pulled Pei'er and walked back.
But he saw that Pei'er's hands were cold and her whole body was stiff.
Unexpectedly, Xue Fu took a few steps forward as if nothing was wrong, "It's a rare encounter, Madam, why don't you show me some favor and have tea together?"
"There are differences between men and women." Xie Wanyu said coldly.
"Madam, give me some face." Xue Fu smiled frivolously.
Xie Wanyu said solemnly, "Give you face? Are you worthy of it?" After saying that, she pulled Pei'er and left quickly.
Xue Fu didn't look unhappy at all, "I like people with strong tempers."
When she was far away from Xue Fu, Pei'er stopped trembling, but her face remained ugly.
"It's okay, I will tell Xue Xuening to ask her to bring less people into the house." Xie Wanyu said.
Pei'er came back to her senses and said, "Madam, I have been talked about and gossiped about, but as for him, no one condemns him, no punishment, and he lives a good life. Why, why?"
Her tears gradually fell.
Xie Wanyu reluctantly took out the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
She also understands the unfairness of this world, but as women, all they can do is try their best to protect themselves and prevent themselves from being hurt easily.
Pei'er is also a strong person. After crying for a while, she returned to normal.
Xie Wanyu didn't take this matter to heart.
Until late at night, Xie Wanyu heard the sound of messy footsteps. She was a light sleeper, so she was easily awakened.
Immediately afterwards, a "gudong" sound was heard.
Then everything calmed down.
Xie Wanyu sat up from the bed. The sound made it difficult for her to fall asleep again.
Really unable to sleep, she lit a candle and took out a stack of ledgers from the rattan box. She had spent a little too much money these days.
As soon as I took out the abacus, I heard a knock on the door, "Madam?"
"Come in." Xie Wanyu said.
Pei'er walked in, panting a little, "My slave was on duty in the corridor today and saw the lights on in Madam's room."
"I can't sleep." Xie Wanyu rubbed her eyebrows, "By the way, did you hear anything?"
"No?" Pei'er said.
As she approached, Xie Wanyu saw some sweat on her forehead.
Xie Wanyu's eyes narrowed, and then she spread out the account book, "I heard that you are also literate, please help me check the account book."
"Yes." Peier sat next to her and checked carefully.
The next day.
After breakfast, the shopkeeper who made autumn clothes came to the door.
Xie Wanyu has lost a lot of weight these days. If it is a matter of housekeeping, she will do it very calmly, but things like intrigues and intrigues make her physically and mentally exhausted.
"Madam's figure is really getting better and better. Her waist is so slender that she can't hold it in her hands." The grandma holding a ruler had just measured Xie Wanyu's waist and immediately began to flatter her.
Xie Wanyu smiled helplessly, "It's probably the bitter summer, and I'll gain weight again after a while."
Nowadays, because of the new emperor's preference, slim waists and long legs have become very popular in recent years. The occasional pale-faced women on the roadside are all caused by starving in pursuit of slim waists.
"Ma'am, please don't get fat. This is how you look good." The nanny said with a smile.
Xie Wanyu laughed, "If you are too thin, you may not look good. I would rather be plump."
While they were talking and laughing, they saw Zhu Fang running in. Her face was very solemn and her almond-shaped eyes were wide.
Xie Wanyu said calmly, "Mother He, please send this mother out."
"Yes." Aunt He took out two taels of silver from her sleeves, handed it to the nanny, and then the two of them walked out with a smile.
Zhu Fang pursed her lips and closed the door tightly.
Then he approached Xie Wanyu and said, "Madam, something happened over there with Madam Ning."
"What happened?" Xie Wanyu asked.
"Isn't Xue Fu living in the mansion? I heard that he fell into the water for some reason yesterday. Because it was night, he found it late and he hasn't woken up yet. Several people from the Xue family came, and they were all at the old lady's place." Zhu Fang whispered.
After hearing this, Xie Wanyu felt suddenly enlightened.
She seemed to have figured out what was going on.
"Call Pei'er. We just made new clothes. Why should we buy some jewelry?" Xie Wanyu thought it would be better to take them out.
Zhu Fang didn't even react immediately.
After a pause, she said, "Why don't you go and take a look, madam?"
"I have to copy Buddhist scriptures now, so I don't have time to join in the fun." Xie Wanyu said calmly.
After she beat Xiao Jing, Mrs. Xiao did not take back Xie Wanyu's housekeeping rights. She knew very well that no one could manage the house as smoothly as Xie Wanyu.
After all, she has money.
Mrs. Xiao didn't even dare to use whipping. The Xie family was not a vegetarian.
Therefore, the final punishment given to Xie Wanyu was to copy Buddhist scriptures, a small punishment but a big warning.
However, before the three masters and servants could leave the house, they were stopped by Nanny Feng.
