Pei Yanzhou didn't know what others were thinking.
All he saw was Song Jinyin's indifferent eyebrows, just like at the beginning, she didn't look at him, or she glanced lightly, and his shadow was never reflected in her watery eyes.
His anger deepened, and he didn't bother to listen to Lin Jingxiu's reminder behind him. He just stretched out his hand, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to the side.
Seeing the panic flashing in Song Jinyin's eyes and finally having a different expression, Pei Yanzhou's heart dropped as he was floating in the air.
But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.
It's just that sullenness disturbed his thoughts.
Pei Yanzhou pulled the person to his side and called out to Cang Lin. When he looked at Pei Wenshu again, the coldness in his eyes suppressed the person so that he did not dare to look up.
They were looking at a brother and a sister. They were clearly looking at an object without temperature.
"Are you here for your mother and Pei Jinzhi today?"
"Yes... I miss my mother and brother. Now in winter, I am also afraid that they will suffer hardship, especially my mother. She is afraid of the cold and has stayed in that village for a long time. She is afraid... "
Pei Wenshu swallowed hard, how could she dare to talk nonsense like reminiscing about the past, so she could only choose something nice to say.
If she hadn't really endured the pain of being targeted by her grandma, and couldn't stand those concubines who were so pretentious and powerful, how would she have thought of looking for Song Jinyin and trying to coax her to have a pillow breeze.
"Since you call me big brother, I can't help but refute your face again and again."
Pei Yanzhou curled his lips and glanced at her with a half-smile: "It's just that your mother returns home, Pei Jinzhi returns to the capital, and your grandma withdraws from your side. I can only allow you the same."
"When I see that you are so concerned about the Qi family, I am afraid that you will choose to let the Qi family return home, so I will let someone..."
"No, brother!"
Pei Wenshu suddenly raised her head and hurriedly called Pei Yanzhou before he gave the order.
"I want to ask my eldest brother to remove the nanny from my side. I, I will definitely learn the rules by myself and wait for my mother and brother to return home!"
"Aren't you worried that your mother is afraid of the cold and suffered hardship on Zhuangzi?"
"I'm worried, but the Zhuangzi of the Pei family must not be too bad, and they are all a family. The eldest brother should be the same, and he won't really bear to watch my mother suffer."
"That's hard to say. I heard that someone in your mother's house has frozen to death."
Pei Yanzhou scoffed: "Let me ask you again, have you thought about letting me remove the nanny beside you instead of others?"
"Yes, brother, I've thought about it."
Pei Wenshu gritted her teeth and nodded.
She no longer wanted to endure the pain of learning the rules from that old woman.
With her father around, her mother wouldn't really starve to death. At most, it would be a little harder than in the house. There was also her brother, so it was not her turn to worry about it. At worst, she would go to her grandmother to talk about it later. Say something nice and coax.
Seeing that she responded quickly, Pei Yanzhou responded with sarcasm in his eyes.
"In that case, I will allow you to do this, but you still have to let grandma know in the end. You go back first. Later, I will ask someone to go to grandma and put in a good word for you."
"Thank you, brother!"
Pei Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief, and when she left, she raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jingxiu, who was always behind.
She didn't pay attention earlier, only thinking that he had been following behind her eldest brother, and there was nothing impressive about him. Now the man was tall and straight, standing to one side with his hands behind his hands, and his eyebrows were serious as if he was deep in thought. Pei Wenshu couldn't help but take a second look. .
The youngest son of Princess Hui'an, a real nobleman from Tianhuang. Although his appearance is not as good as that of his elder brother, he is still handsome.
If she could get closer to him, she might not have to look at her elder brother's face in the future.
Thinking like this, Pei Wenshu's heart beat a little faster when she passed by Lin Jingxiu. She was thinking about others and neglecting the road under her feet.
As soon as he lost his mind, he stepped on the stone next to him, his foot stumbled, his body lost his balance, and he threw himself towards the side.
The warm and fragrant nephrite in the storybook did not appear.
Lin Jingxiu, who was still deep in thought when he saw a body falling towards him, quickly took a few steps to the side and even reached out to pull at his robe, fearing that she would use her strength to catch him.
The next moment, a solid muffled sound came from my ears.
Song Jinyin was startled by the movement and stepped back. She almost stepped on the stone steps and was surrounded by people.
"Lin Jingxiu!"
Pei Wenshu did not expect that this person would be so ruthless. Not only was he unwilling to help her, he also regarded her as a savage beast and avoided her.
The slaves who passed by turned their backs when they saw this, and even Cang Rin, who had not had much emotion all year round, pursed his lips and looked away.
Lin Jingxiu was the only one in the courtyard who couldn't hold back his laughter.
"What are you calling Miss Pei for? It's not the New Year yet, Miss Pei is giving such a great gift, but you want a reward?"
"You! Who wants to salute you!"
Pei Wenshu got up from the ground, with a dusty face, and pointed at Lin Jingxiu angrily, but then she saw the face of the elder brother next to her, and had to swallow her anger.
Seeing that there was no way to save her face with this person, she looked at Song Jinyin angrily, but saw that she was also standing on the side of her eldest brother, her head hung extremely low, she did not look at her at all, and her expression could not be clearly seen at all.
"Pei Wenshu, this is not a place for you to mess around in our courtyard."
"Brother, I..."
"I don't have much patience. If you still want me to agree to your request, you'd better not cause trouble in front of me."
"I'm going back to my own courtyard right now, brother, don't be angry!"
Pei Wenshu glared at Lin Jingxiu angrily, gritted her teeth and looked away, without even bothering to brush the dust off her body, and quickly left.
She didn't dare to lose her temper, but when she thought of the humiliation she had just suffered in front of everyone, the handkerchief in Pei Wenshu's hand was clenched into a ball, and she couldn't see the original shape.
Seeing her leaving, Song Jinyin raised her lowered head slightly and breathed a subtle sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Lin Jingxiu came out from behind, otherwise the eldest girl of the Pei family, who couldn't carry things clearly, would probably bring hatred to her again.
Just thinking about this, Song Jinyin couldn't help but look sympathetically at the man who just retreated quickly, fearing to avoid him.
Based on Pei Wenshu's temperament, Lin Jingxiu estimated that he would be targeted for a long time.
But whether there will be any affection besides resentment will probably depend on the... fate between the two.
Pei Yanzhou stood to one side, his hand still around her waist. When he saw her looking at Lin Jingxiu with burning eyes and a smile on her lips, he didn't know what she was thinking, and he suddenly felt angry.
The hand on her waist tightened, and there was a cool tone under his calm expression.
"very nice?"
Looking at him with Song Jinyin was Lin Jingxiu with disgust.
But before he could retreat from his contempt for Pei Wenshu, he was stunned by the depth in Pei Yanzhou's eyes.
What is this big brother trying to do? He obviously didn't do anything.
"Is your body still feeling well?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Yanzhou withdrew his gaze and looked at Song Jinyin beside him. Although his tone was cold, it was more than a little better than before.
Lin Jingxiu curled his lips.
When the business is done, he will have to explain what happened yesterday.
Pei Yanzhou has a bad temper, and Song Jinyin should not be much better after being by his side for many years.
If he still can't listen then, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot in the future. Let's see if he will be like now, showing a terrifying oppression at every turn and scaring people away.
"Your Majesty, my servant is fine. I will return to Wenyue Tower now."
"There's no need to go there yet."
Lifting his eyes to look at the sky, Pei Yanzhou said again: "Let Biyu accompany you to Fuluyuan. Since Pei Wenshu wants you to be such a good person, go and spread the word that I am going to exempt her from learning the rules."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Seeing that she was not even willing to ask more questions, Pei Yanzhou was secretly angry for some reason, but he had no choice but to continue to give instructions.
"If the old lady disagrees, tell her what happened just now in detail. I will definitely waive this rule. You don't have to worry about me breaking my promise and Pei Wenshu will be angry with you."
After hearing this, Song Jinyin completely met Pei Yanzhou's eyes.
He actually guessed what she was thinking.
After gathering her nerves, Song Jinyin responded.
"What the prince wants to do is to let the old lady know that the eldest lady abandoned the second lady and the second young master because she didn't want to be taught a lesson in rules?"
"Well, you can tell by looking at it. The old lady is old, and it is inevitable that she can't see the twists and turns, and her feet will be stumbled by the legitimate concubine."
Song Jinyin was slightly stunned.
With these words from Pei Yanzhou's mouth, he might want to push the third room in front of the old lady.
It's just that he values his concubine so much and pushes the third bedroom forward. What does he want in exchange?
Is it his father, the Duke of Guo, who suppresses the second wife?
Song Jinyin moved further away, avoiding his hand on her waist.
The action just now was really intimate, and it also made her feel anxious, always worried that his eyes would fall on her belly.
In fact, speaking of it, it shouldn't be Song Jinyin's fault that she got pregnant. It's just that the world is like this. She doesn't have that kind of status, so she can only bear that kind of guilt. She doesn't dare to gamble.
"Yes, slave, come over right away."
Song Jinyin bent her knees and walked further along the corridor.
She felt that her way forward was confused now. If she tried to escape in the way she thought of, she would never be able to go back to Anyuan County, which held all the beautiful memories of her childhood.
