stern wife

Chapter 656

Pei Xingshan forced himself to look away, and he no longer wanted to relax outside. He lowered the window and said loudly to the driver outside:

"Go home quickly!"

The coachman didn't understand why his master was so unpredictable, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly whipped the horse's ass and accelerated towards Pei's house.

For the rest of the way, Pei Xingshan couldn't help thinking, why didn't he realize that Mrs. Wu was so good-looking before?
Moreover, she has a docile temperament and never caused him any trouble, but instead helped him a lot.

Let’s look at the current Mrs. Wei Guogong—Princess Wuyang.

Pei Xingshan let out a long sigh, regretting in his heart, but it was too late.

After returning to the mansion, thinking of Emperor Chixuan's order, he restrained his thoughts, and immediately called the steward who was in charge of the large kitchen at home, and had a long and quiet talk behind closed doors.

From this day on, the old lady's body became worse day by day.

-

"It's a pity, because the eldest princess will not be willing to reconcile with the Duke, in order to save the face of the royal family, she let that old thing keep her reputation before she died."

At noon in summer, the scorching sun outside almost melts people.

In the room, there are many ice basins, which are cool and pleasant. Pei Xiaoran and Wuming are sitting in the front hall, chatting while drinking iced sour plum soup.

Nameless shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it.

He said:

"My purpose is just to get rid of that old lady Pei. It doesn't matter whether she was executed openly or secretly."

The two have been paying close attention to the movements of Pei's mansion for the past few days, so the old lady's sudden illness in bed cannot escape their eyes and ears.

In fact, this is also within their expectations.

After all, the evidence was conclusive. Even if Emperor Chixuan could tolerate Pei Xingshan's deception back then, he would never tolerate the royal family's face being trampled underfoot by an old man from a brothel.

That being the case, they can only suppress this matter, and then get rid of the old lady without anyone noticing.

Since the Holy Majesty did not convict the old lady, people outside would definitely think that there was something hidden about this matter, and with the death of the old lady, no one would be interested in bringing it up again.

In this way, the face of the royal family can barely be preserved.

Pei Xiaoran carefully observed the other party's face, but saw that the other party did not show the slightest carefree or happy expression because Mrs. Pei was about to die, so he couldn't help asking curiously:
"The big vengeance will be avenged soon, aren't you happy?"

Wuming snorted coldly and said:
"My enemy is not just her?"

Pei Xiaoran pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Who else is there?"

It's not that Pei Xiaoran likes to pry into people's privacy, it's just that she has a faint feeling that it is very likely that some of the enemies of the two are the same.

She tentatively asked:

"Could it be that my biological father, Duke Wei?"

Wuming glanced at her, changed his mind, and said:
"Whenever your mother is willing to marry me, I will tell you everything about me."

Note that he said 'tell you', not 'tell you', which means that he did not want to tell Wu these things, make her worry about herself, or be involved in these disputes.

Moreover, Wuming knew that the girl in front of her was different from that woman of the Wu family who had been living in the deep house for a long time.

Some things are suitable to tell her, but not necessarily suitable to tell Wu Shi.

Pei Xiaoran snorted lightly, thinking that this person was rather sensible.

However, she didn't appreciate it, and said unceremoniously:
"You want to use this to blackmail me? I'm afraid I've found the wrong person, and I'm not interested in your affairs at all, I'm just curious."

As he said that, somehow he remembered, Pei Xiaoran gave Wuming another hard look, and interrogated and asked:
"Yesterday, did you ask my mother out to go shopping?"

In Wuming's trance, he seemed to see that Pei Xiaoran had turned into the old master Qingtian who was sitting on the stage. On both sides were government servants standing with sticks and serious faces. On the pillars on both sides, there were eight words——

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

Wuming shook his head to shake off the illusion, and replied calmly:

"Yes."

Pei Xiaoran touched his chin, and said suspiciously:

"My mother agreed to you so easily?"

Pei Xiaoran knew his own mother well, even though the Wu family had regained their freedom now, they would never agree to casually accompany a man to wander the streets.

Did this person use some shady trick to succeed?

Looking at her vigilant eyes like a small animal, Wuming couldn't help laughing, shook his head and sighed:
"It was a waste of my good intentions. I just said that my daughter is getting old and needs to add some beautiful jewelry to dress up, so your mother agreed to go out with me."

Since Pei Xiaoran was reborn, she almost never let Mrs. Wu worry about her.

Therefore, after hearing Wuming's suggestion, Wu Shi realized that her daughter had already reached the age of Ji and was a big girl.

Although some of the items rewarded by the Holy One are extremely beautiful gold, silver and jewelry, as a mother, I always feel that if I don't do something for my child, I don't love her enough.

Therefore, without even thinking about it, Wu went to buy jewelry for her daughter together with Wuming.

Pei Xiaoran rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and said in disgust:

"Who is your daughter? You haven't married my mother yet!
Besides, kindness?In my opinion, it's color|heart!Buying jewelry for me is just an excuse, asking my mother to go out with you is your real purpose! "

Wuming didn't deny it, and gave her a knowing look, choking Pei Xiaoran to death.

Pei Xiaoran slapped the table angrily and said:

"I'm warning you, if you want to pursue my mother, you can, but don't hurt her, let alone play tricks on her!
Otherwise, I will be the first to peel off your skin! "

Wuming arched his hands towards her, shrunk his shoulders and pretended to be afraid and said:
"Little General Pei's martial arts skills are unrivaled and unparalleled in the world, how dare I offend Little General Pei's mother?
Besides, this is not a trick, right?I think it's sincere to ask your mother out to play, and I want to buy you some jewelry so that you can dress up. It's also sincere, so how can it be called trickery? "

"you!"

Pei Xiaoran has always been the only one who pissed others off to death, but today he really met his opponent.

Pei Xiaoran was about to explode, but the other party sighed again:

"Xiaoran, actually even if I don't marry your mother, I should treat you well."

"What?"

Pei Xiaoran was confused when he heard this, and wondered if he had helped this person unintentionally, and the other party came to repay his kindness?
But why did she have no impression of this person at all?
Just when he was about to ask, a girl from outside reported that an old woman heard that the unknown son was here, so she followed her to find him, and wanted to see the unknown son.

Pei Xiaoran's thoughts were interrupted, but he didn't have time to ask further questions, so he hurriedly said:
"Just ask her to come in."
