stern wife

Chapter 305
Pei Xiaoran moved closer to Wu's side, raised his face and said solemnly:
"That's not the same, mother is getting more and more beautiful every day, today she is much more beautiful than usual!"

Who doesn't like to hear such good words from a woman's family?
Wu's heart was soon coaxed by her daughter, and she no longer wondered if her daughter and son had something on their minds to hide from her.

After a while, Pei Yutong also came.

After a while, Pei Xingshan came out with Cheng, Zhou Wan'er, Pei Wenchang, Aunt Zhao, Pei Huayu and Pei Zengshan's family.

Pei Xiaoran looked left and right, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart when he didn't see her fourth brother.

It seems that her fourth brother passed out drunk again last night in Wenrouxiang, and he probably hasn't woken up yet!
It was also fortunate that her fourth brother was raised by the old lady. If it were her other direct brothers who dared to be absent when praying for the old lady, an unfilial hat and a half-dead spanking would definitely be indispensable.

However, it was the old lady's credit that her fourth brother became like this. If you want to blame her, you really can't just blame her fourth brother alone.

Seeing the old lady and Pei Xingshan appear, Mrs. Wu immediately brought Pei Xiaoran to greet Pei Xingshan.

Wu's illness has almost healed, and the sickness on her body has been eliminated, making her look like a different person, with a radiant complexion and high spirits.

She was wearing a light blue dark silver embroidered Liuyunyuehua skirt today, her black silk was coiled up by a simple and warm hosta, and she was wearing a thin layer of powder and daisy, her beauty was compelling.

Pei Xingshan couldn't help but linger on her for a while longer, looking into her eyes with a little surprise.

How long has he been to Wu's yard?
I can't remember, but it was a long, long time.

In my impression, Mrs. Wu still had that unlucky look of being sick and unable to lift her spirits up, as if she was going to die of illness in a few days, which made people bored seeing it.

So today, seeing such a vibrant Wu family again, Pei Xingshan felt as if he had passed away.

The girl who was romantic and graceful when I first met her seems to be back again, her eyes are as soft and clear as ever, without any chaos and filth that was confused by the world and desire.

The years did not add wrinkles to her, but added a bit of maturity, making her look more gentle and tranquil, like a trickle of water, gliding through her heart, moistening things silently.

Wu frowned slightly.

If she had received such attention from him at a time when she hadn't seen through Pei Xingshan's true colors and was only admiring him, she would naturally be overjoyed.

But now...

But it only made her feel disgusted and disgusted.

Seeing that Pei Xingshan's eyes fell on Wu Shi, Mrs. Cheng on the side refused to leave. She immediately overturned the jar of jealousy, and changed the subject with a forced smile:
"Master, Wutong Mountain is a bit far away, let's not waste any more time, let's go quickly."

Cheng's dress today is much more exaggerated and elaborate than Wu's.

She wears heavy makeup and wears a brand-new peach blossom brocade dress. On the left side of her head is a gold hairpin, on the right is a colorful glazed butterfly hairpin, and there are two golden treasure pipa earrings shining by her ears. She looks gorgeous. Peaches and plums are so beautiful.

I know, she is going to the Buddhist temple to pray for the elders, I don't know, at first glance, I thought she was going out with Pei Xingshan to find a place to have fun!
Cheng's face is also red today, full of energy.

It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, thinking that today they can get rid of a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, and a big blow to that little bastard Pei Xiaoran, the slight unhappiness that Cheng felt towards Wu immediately disappeared.

She even pretended to be very concerned and said:
"The third young master is weak, so why don't you bring two more clothes when you go out? It's getting colder, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Cheng is concerned about her son?

Wu Shi was slightly surprised, but still responded very politely:

"Thank you for your concern. Yuxuan has already asked the servants to prepare. He has been considerate since he was a child, and he has never worried us."

Cheng smiled and nodded, saying:
"Then I'm relieved~"

Then he turned his head and said coquettishly to Pei Xingshan:

"Master, it's time for us to get on the carriage~"

Pei Xingshan glanced at her, but said nothing.

But Cheng has always been very good at observing words and expressions, one look in his eyes, and he already knows what he wants to say.

Cheng Shi bit her lower lip, unwillingly let go of the hand that had been holding Pei Xingshan's arm, and looked at Pei Xingshan with an aggrieved expression.

Pei Xingshan was not moved at all, he just walked up to Mrs Wu, and said in a rare kind way:

"Get in the carriage."

Originally, when he was outside, Pei Xingshan, in order not to let others find out that he favored concubines and didn't want to see his descendants, would treat Wu's and Pei Xiaoran's descendants according to the rules of respecting descendants.

However, ever since that palace banquet, the old lady of the Pei family and Pei Xingshan became famous for favoring concubines. Everyone from Emperor Chixuan, to the common people of Suzaku, and even the beggars on the roadside knew about it.

So, what is Pei Xingshan still pretending to be?
If he just favored the concubine, maybe Wu would not hate him so much. After all, Pei Xingshan is a concubine himself, and she could barely express his understanding when he did this.

But while being eccentric, pretending that he is not eccentric at the same time, acting like a sanctimonious hypocrite, this is what makes Wu the most disgusting.

Wu's heart was displeased, and Pei Xiaoran, who felt her repulsive aura, just wanted to help his mother reject Pei Xingshan, when she heard her mother said lightly:

"My concubine has been caught in the wind and cold recently, so as not to accidentally pass on to the master, let's take a carriage with Xiaoran."

Looking at Wu's appearance, she knew that she was not infected.

But he has already rejected it so tactfully, and Pei Xingshan's reluctance seems a bit pricey.

Pei Xingshan also knew that he was really cold towards Wu Shi, and Wu Shi was justified for being petty, so he nodded slightly and got into the carriage by himself.

Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

She knows that she is the daughter of a merchant, and she has little weight in front of her husband who is the Duke of the country.

If Pei Xingshan insisted on letting her get into his carriage, she would eventually obey.

Standing aside, Pei Xiaoran saw all the changes in Pei Xingshan's expression from beginning to end.

It seemed that Pei Xingshan had some nasty thoughts about her mother again.

That's right, her mother's illness has recovered, her spirit is stronger than before, her complexion is much better than before, and she looks much more beautiful than before.

Pei Xiaoran's compliment just now was not all to change the subject, but her mother has indeed become different from before.

But what... has anything to do with Pei Xingshan?
When her mother was sick, he didn't invite a doctor, he didn't visit anyone, and even her mother's illness was all because of him.

Not only that, but also extremely indifferent to her child, as if it was not his own flesh and blood.

Therefore, her mother has become beautiful, which has nothing to do with him.
