stern wife

Chapter 425 What's so great about her?

Zhang Zeqing was secretly displeased.

He never had anyone tell his family which household he worked for.

Therefore, since his family members knew about it, they must have heard from the person he asked to send money home.

He clearly told that person not to speak, so as not to cause some unnecessary troubles, unexpectedly, that person still did.

Zhang Zeqing suddenly said:

"Father, mother, don't tell anyone about my work in Pei's mansion."

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang looked at each other and smiled, and Father Zhang said:
"Of course, we have all warned your brothers and sisters, and no one is allowed to speak out."

When the Zhang family was renovating, someone came to ask where the Zhang family made a fortune, and they wanted to make a fortune with the Zhang family.

Father Zhang didn't want to cause trouble for the nobleman, so he lied that he found a treasure passed down from his ancestors at home, and exchanged it for money to have the money to renovate the house.

Some people also wondered if the missing eldest son of the Zhang family had made a fortune outside, so they came to inquire, and they also wanted to ask Zhang Zeqing to help them make a connection, so that their son could also be brought in to make some money.

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang naturally wouldn't cause trouble for the eldest son, so they also lied that there was nothing to do. Their money was really not earned by the eldest son. The eldest son was just doing rough work and couldn't make much money at all. .

Only then did Zhang Zeqing feel a little relieved.

But at this moment, only a slightly sharp voice said disdainfully:

"Actually, that Miss Pei's family is nothing special!"

Everyone was taken aback, stopped discussing, and turned their heads to look, only to find that there was a strange little girl coming in behind them.

Xiao Rou was almost pissed off.

Originally, Xiaorou obediently followed Zhang Zeqing into the door, thinking that when Zhang Zeqing introduced herself to his parents, she must behave well in front of them.

Unexpectedly, after entering the door, this group of people started to talk about their own affairs, and they all seemed to be blind, and none of them noticed her who was so beautifully dressed.

Her elder brother Zeqing had no intention of introducing her to his parents at all.

Not only that, they even said good things about Pei Xiaoran in front of her!

Xiao Rou has never been able to bear the temper, she has been enduring the suffocation of being ignored because of Zhang Zeqing, but when she heard them mention Pei Xiaoran, she couldn't bear it anymore, and then she couldn't help but burst out come out.

Zhang Zeqing's elder sister looked at Xiaorou, then turned to look at Zhang Zeqing, and asked weakly:
"Who is this……?"

It was only then that Zhang Zeqing noticed Xiao Rou who had an aggrieved and resentful face.

If Xiaorou hadn't said what he said just now, maybe he would feel a little guilty for ignoring the other party for a while.

but……

Zhang Zeqing said coldly:

"Have you forgotten what order the Holy Majesty gave?"

Xiao Rou was startled, and then her face turned pale.

At this time, Fu Wenshu hadn't had any accidents because of insulting Pei Xiao.

However, the order that Emperor Chixuan had given for Pei Xiaoran had already started to spread.

Xiao Rou clenched her lower lip, and swallowed back the more exaggerated words that had not yet been said, and tears began to well up in her eyes, looking pitiful.

However, the Zhang family's parents are not the ones who are soft-hearted when others cry. After all, which of the Zhang family's children has never cried?

If the children were soft-hearted when they cried, and obeyed when they were soft-hearted, they would not be able to teach a sensible person like Zhang Zeqing.

Father Zhang frowned and said:
"Qing'er works in the Pei family, so you can't speak ill of the Pei family. Even if the Pei family is really nothing special, as long as they don't bully Qing'er, then we have to accept their love and recognize their kindness!"

Mother Zhang nodded and said:
"That's right!"

When Xiaorou heard this, she felt even more wronged immediately, tears came out of her eyes, and began to fall down patter, as if it was not she who said bad things about others, but someone else said bad things about her.

Zhang Zeqing was unmoved at all, and only said coldly:

"From now on, you must never say what you said just now, otherwise, I will no longer be your brother."

Xiaorou was startled immediately, and she didn't dare to cry anymore and pretend to be pitiful, she choked up and nodded repeatedly as if she was afraid of being abandoned by Zhang Zeqing:
"I, I won't say it again! Brother Zeqing, don't abandon me!"

Zhang Zeqing's complexion eased a little, and he introduced to the surrounding family members:

"She's Xiaorou. I met her after I went out and saved my life. Now she has no relatives around her, so I recognize her as my sister."

Although Father Zhang and Mother Zhang didn't like this little girl a bit, when they heard that she was an orphan, they felt a little bit of compassion, and said:
"Then stay at our house this year and celebrate the New Year with us."

Xiao Rou was overjoyed, and said quickly:
"Thank you dad, thank you mom!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head shyly.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother only called her that as Zhang Zeqing's younger sister, and they both smiled and nodded in response.

The family was finally reunited and spent the year happily together.

*
After the Chinese New Year, Nie Xichen's injury finally stabilized after spending another ten days in bed.

As soon as he was able to go to the ground, he asked someone to take him to Pei Xiaoran's yard, wanting to get back his jade pendant.

At this time, Pei Runzhi was not there because of something, and there was no one who could call the shots, so the servant was in a dilemma for a while.

The boy said:
"Nie, Mr. Nie, the backyard is where the women's families live, and outsiders are not allowed in. You'd better wait for the young master to come back, and then let the young master go with you."

Nie Xichen frowned, and flatly refused:
"Wait! I want my jade pendant back now!"

He thought for a while, then said:
"How about you go and call Pei Xiaoran over here! Is this the head office?"

"what?"

The boy was stunned, but when he came back to his senses, he still felt something was wrong, and said:
"Miss Six is ​​already eight years old this year, and men and women are seated differently at seven years old. This...even if Miss Six comes here to meet a foreigner, it is unreasonable..."

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Nie Xichen immediately glared at the servant irritably.

The boy hurriedly said:
"How about... the little one will help you get it? If you can get it out, the little one will bring the jade pendant back to you directly, how about it?"

That's a good idea.

Nie Xichen looked pale, waved his hand and said:
"Then go and come back!"

"Ugh."

The boy responded, and trotted to Pei Xiaoran's yard.

Pei Xiaoran just woke up from a nap at this time. After washing his face, he climbed back to bed and continued to lie on the bed, lying on the soft pillow reading a book like a soft, lazy cat.

When Han Chan came in and said that a servant wanted to help Nie Xichen get back the jade pendant, Pei Xiaoran just lazily raised his eyelids and took a look, then continued to stare at the script in front of him, saying:
"Let that boy go back and tell Mr. Nie that it's fine to get the jade pendant back, but first come and apologize to me in person."
