Chapter 147 Arrival at Xirong
Although Pei Zhuo was also dissatisfied with Zhao Qiyue, he didn't want others to say it.

Facing Huyan Lanti's complaint, he said without thinking: "Your attitude is not much better, stop exaggerating."

Huyan Lanti opened his eyes wide and was completely speechless: "Brother Zhuo, you are too biased."

Pei Zhuo didn't want to talk to her any more. Seeing someone carrying something over, he hurriedly stood up to greet them: "It's the charcoal basin, right? Send it all to Cuizhu Pavilion."

When Huyan Lanti heard the name of the courtyard, his eyes opened wider.

"You arranged for her to live in Cuizhuxuan? She can just live in your yard. Besides, does she need so many charcoal basins? I only have two in my room."

Pei Zhuo said seriously: "It's not warmer here than in the capital. She must not be used to it when she first arrived. You grew up here, so you should have gotten used to the cold."

Huyan Lanti: ...

With the help of many charcoal basins, Zhao Qiyue slept very comfortably on his first night here.

Xirong is indeed much colder than the capital. In the morning, there was a layer of frost on the ground. As soon as I walked outside, my cheeks turned red from the cold.

But even so, Zhao Qiyue still got up early. She asked Xiaotao to help her get familiar with the environment, for fear of making a fool of herself in front of others today.

Pei Zhuo also got up very early and practiced boxing in the yard for a while, all the while glancing at the next door.

After a while, he finally couldn't help it and walked to the next room.

After entering, his breathing stagnated. Where is the person?

Pei Zhuo searched the house and found that except for a few more charcoal basins, it was no different from usual.

For a moment, he even felt that what happened before was an illusion and he did not bring Zhao Qiyue back.

Pei Zhuo pursed his lips, feeling a little flustered, and shouted angrily:
"Somebody come!"

As soon as the words fell, a soft voice came: "What happened?"

After hearing Zhao Qiyue's voice, Pei Zhuo's heart finally settled down. He frowned, his expression clearly unhappy: "Why are you running around so early in the morning?"

Zhao Qiyue pursed her lips. Ever since she met Pei Zhuo again, he rarely showed a good face to her, and his tone of voice was also unfriendly.

Every time she heard him talk like this, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if the Pei Zhuo who used to put her first in everything was really gone.

She lowered her head and explained timidly, "I just walked around." After calming down, Pei Zhuo also felt that his tone was a bit harsh, so he softened his tone and said, "Pack up and go see my father, and then have dinner together."

Zhao Qiyue nodded silently.

Pei Zhuo no longer had any reason to stay. When he walked out, he saw Zhao Qiyue's face was red from the cold. He looked at her for a few more times and couldn't help muttering:

"Didn't I send you a cotton-padded jacket? Wear two more. Don't just do it for the sake of looking good."

Zhao Qiyue: ...

So fierce.

Considering Zhao Qiyue's status, the meeting between the two families was quite harmonious.

But only on the surface.

The people of the Helian family knew a little about Pei Zhuo and Zhao Qiyue's past and knew that the two were old acquaintances.

However, since the two were not together at the beginning, with the help of people's imagination, we can piece together that this is probably a story about not bullying the poor young man.

Pei Zhuo's father Helian Qi's current wife Ulaman was already dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of the Second Prince, not to mention the Princess of Zhao he brought back.

When everyone else was being polite and courteous, she interrupted with something that was quite sarcastic:

"It's a good thing that Xiao Zhuo recognized his ancestry, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to marry the Princess of Zhao."

Killing two birds with one stone, it not only mocked Pei Zhuo for being nothing before, but also implicitly satirized Zhao Qiyue's vanity.

Zhao Qiyue's breathing stagnated and her hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened. She had heard such sarcastic remarks before.

If it were in the past, she would have retorted without hesitation, but now, after all, he was Pei Zhuo's family, so she could only pretend not to hear it.

But just because she didn't say anything doesn't mean others won't.

Pei Zhuo said with full energy: "Indeed, just like my second brother, who fought over a woman in the brothel yesterday and injured someone's life. He can still sit here and eat safely today, and it is also because of my father's help."
