stern wife

Chapter 366 The past that can't go back
Pei Xiaoran slowly sat down at the table with doubts, and after a while, the maids held the trays and brought the meals on the tray to the table one by one.

Pei Xiaoran took a quick scan, and sure enough there were quite a few dishes that he liked.

But Zhu Lianxi is not stupid, in order not to make Pei Xiaoran feel that he has ulterior motives for her, he only asked the cook to make half of her favorite food.

But even so, it was enough to surprise Pei Xiaoran.

Of course, it's not difficult to find out what a person likes to eat. After being surprised, Pei Xiaoran didn't think about it any more, only being more wary of Zhu Lianxi.

Why, it was not enough to use myself in the last life, but in this life, is it not enough to think about using myself? !

Pei Xiaoran was filled with disgust, even though most of the dishes on the table were his favorite dishes, he completely lost his appetite.

In order not to make Pei Xiaoran feel uncomfortable, Zhu Lianxi waved the maids to retreat to a hidden corner, stood up by himself, and personally served Pei Xiaoran with soup and vegetables.

Pei Xiaoran raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the handsome and elegant face. Although he was younger, he was still extremely familiar.

When she was wronged in the last life, she looked forward to seeing this face again, and hoped that the owner of this face could clear up her grievances.

She thought they were the closest people in the world, anyone would wrong her and misunderstand her, but he would definitely not.

But looking forward and looking forward, but only looking forward to a slap in the face from him.

Pei Xiaoran's gaze gradually became numb.

It has been so long, but the pain still remains in my heart. Every time I recall it, it is like being stabbed into the heart by a sharp knife, and being twisted repeatedly by an invisible hand holding the handle of the knife.

But Pei Xiaoran has gradually gotten used to it, and even feels numb.

Thinking about how that person treated him at that time, and looking at the person who is serious about preparing vegetables for him now, it is really a great irony.

She lowered her eyes slightly to hide the emotion in her eyes, took a sip from the teacup in hand, and said calmly:
"Thank you Your Majesty."

Zhu Lianxi said sincerely:

"Don't be polite to me, just treat me as your brother."

elder brother?

Does he fit too?
Pei Xiaoran bent his lips and smiled, saying:
"Your Highness is joking, Your Highness is precious, how dare Xiaoran shout?"

Zhu Lianxi also knew that Pei Xiaoran was very close to her direct brothers, so she couldn't help but feel a little sour.

However, in the last life, several of her older brothers were killed in battle, and only one sister-in-law was left in the family who was okay with her. Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little pity in my heart.

He smiled and said:
"That's right. Of course I can't compare to your elder brothers who are your direct relatives."

However, he will treat her better than those brothers. He believes that one day, they will become as close as they were in the previous life.

Pei Xiaoran shrugged with a smile, and didn't speak, as if acquiescing.

The three of them started to eat together silently, before half of the meal, someone came in from outside and said to Pei Xiaoran:
"Miss Pei, someone is looking for you outside, saying that there is something urgent."

Pei Xiaoran was eating a tasteless meal, and immediately put down his chopsticks when he heard this, and asked:

"Who?"

The man said:
"It's the young master of the Sikong family, named Sikong Tu. He said that as long as he mentions Ye Shengyi to you, you will know who he is."

Of course Pei Xiaoran remembered Ye Shengyi, and also remembered the boy who had been talking to her all afternoon, who turned out to be Sikong Tu.

She frowned slightly, and thought to herself that since Sikong Tu came to Zhu Lianxi to find her, something must have happened. Could it be that something happened to Sikong Tu's friend?
She immediately stood up and said:

"I'm going to see him right now."

Then, facing Zhu Lianxi and Zhu Tingzhi apologetically, he said:

"The little girl still has some urgent matters to deal with. I will not accompany you temporarily. Please forgive me."

Zhu Lianxi's expression was rather displeased. It's really rare for someone who is so uninterested and dares to disturb his dinner, especially his dinner with Pei Xiaoran.

But maybe this matter has something to do with Pei Xiaoran, so he could only say:
"Go, come back quickly, before the food gets cold."

Pei Xiaoran nodded perfunctorily, and immediately followed the palace man outside.

Seeing Pei Xiaoran leaving the table, Zhu Lianxi suddenly lost his appetite, and immediately put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Zhu Tingzhi stopped knowingly.

Seeing Zhu Lianxi looking at Pei Xiaoran's leaving back, waiting for everyone to go out, and still not looking back when he was out of sight, Zhu Tingzhi couldn't help but secretly startled.

It seems that his elder brother is really interested in this younger sister Xiaoran.

But it's not surprising, after all, Pei Xiaoran is very popular with their father now, if he can develop a relationship with this little thing, it will definitely be a great help in the fight for the throne.

As long as she speaks a few good words for someone in front of the father, the father will definitely love the house and treat that person differently.

Not to mention her extraordinary skill and boundless future.

only……

Zhu Tingzhi sighed slightly.

It's just that he can tell that Pei Xiaoran doesn't like his elder brother at all.

But the words of the matchmaker's parents, when the time comes, where is there room for her to resist?
On the surface, the ladies of the aristocratic family live in beautiful flowers, rich clothes and fine food, but in fact, how many people can really get happiness?
It's a pity that he is alone and weak, and he can't influence the fate of others at all. In the end, he can only turn into a helpless sigh.

Pei Xiaoran followed the palace man outside, and sure enough, he saw a young man standing outside, his face was full of worry and anxiety, it was Sikong Tu.

Seeing Pei Xiaoran, Sikong Tu's expression finally slowed down a bit, and immediately walked up to meet him, saying:

"Miss Pei, I have something urgent to tell you."

Pei Xiaoran nodded and said:

"You said."

Sikong Tu didn't rush to speak, but turned his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said:
"I want to... talk to you alone."

Pei Xiaoran was startled, followed his gaze, and saw that there were many guards around him, so he thought about it, and asked the palace man beside him:
"Is there a vacancy here, or a place to talk?"

The palace man nodded quickly and said:
"Of course there are. Miss Pei, please come with your slaves."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, and led Sikong Tu to a secluded corner with the palace man. After watching the palace man leave, Sikong Tu hurriedly said:

"Miss Pei, someone wants to harm you!"

Pei Xiaoran changed his mind, and asked with a smile behind his back:
"How did you know?"

Seeing that the little girl didn't seem to take this matter seriously, Sikong Tu became even more anxious, and said with a frown:
"I saw it with my own eyes! This morning, my father originally wanted to take me into the woods to hunt, but I just lost my good friend, and I was not in the mood to hunt at all, so I stayed alone, but stayed in the house Li is always thinking wildly, thinking about going out for a walk, and finally, somehow, he went to the stable."
