stern wife

Chapter 68
Cailuan frowned, thought for a while, and whispered:

"Miss asked the servant to watch Miss Six's every move, could it be... just to let the servant see how Miss Six is ​​going to retrieve the jade pendant, and then find a way to stop it?"

Pei Youmin pursed her lips and smiled, and said:
"Smart. Her brothers will definitely help her find it together. When there is news, they will come back and tell me immediately. I will find a way to make them lose their gains. I can't tell the Holy One!"

Cailuan was blessed, and replied confidently: "Yes!"

The sky was getting dark and the cold wind was blowing outside the house, but it was warm inside. Pei Xiaoran huddled under the soft and warm quilt, and woke up naturally after falling asleep.

She slowly opened her eyes, and saw a thin and beautiful shadow cast on the head of her bed under the light of the candle, as quiet and motionless as a mountain.

She sat up in surprise, and saw Pei Yuxuan parked the four-wheeled cart beside her bed. He was sitting on the four-wheeled cart, holding a book in his hand and quietly flipping through it. Seeing that she had woken up, he smiled softly, road:
"Are you hungry? Dinner is ready, but I see that you haven't woken up yet, so I let them warm in the kitchen and ask someone to bring them over when you wake up."

"meal?"

Pei Xiaoran suddenly remembered the conversation between Pei Xingshan and Pei Zengshan that she had heard outside the study door, she turned her head to look at the sky outside, her small face instantly turned pale.

She grabbed Pei Yuxuan's arm and asked hurriedly:

"Where's elder brother? Has he had lunch yet?"

In fact, this question is redundant. Who would skip lunch for no reason?
She never thought that she would sleep for such a long time. She slept late yesterday, and thought that two hours would be enough for today, but she didn't expect that when she woke up, it was already night!

The child's body is really useless!
Pei Yuxuan was taken aback by her eagerness, and hurriedly said:

"nature……"

Pei Xiaoran's heart sank, and he heard his third brother continue:
"Of course there is nothing to eat. Big brother has been busy looking for jade pendants for you all day. How can he have time to eat? He just came back and sweated all over. He went back to his yard to take a bath first, and he will come over later gone."

The sinking heart was slowly pulled back to its original position by Pei Yuxuan's words, Pei Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief, slumped on the bed weakly and said:

"It's fine if you don't eat..."

No wonder she is so hopeless, she has already lost her elder brother once, and in this life, she will never let him do anything again!

"What's the matter with you?" Pei Yuxuan asked worriedly when he saw his sister was surprised and happy:
"Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, my brother is here."

"Yes... I dreamed that my eldest brother was eaten by wild wolves, but after waking up and seeing my third brother, I am not afraid of anything."

Pei Xiaoran raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiled sweetly at Pei Yuxuan, then got up, got dressed and went to the ground, and simply washed up.

Sure enough, after a while, Pei Runzhi came.

There was still dampness on his body, his long hair was half-dry, and was simply tied up with strips of blue cloth and draped behind his back, a little more chic and unrestrained than usual.

Pei Xiaoran greeted him courteously, and said, "Brother, you've worked hard." She was sweating in such a cold day, her elder brother must have been busy all day long.

Pei Runzhi raised his hand to rub his sister's little head, and smiled very nonchalantly:

"No hard work, are you hungry? Come and eat."

"Ah."

Pei Xiaoran took the initiative to run to the table to put the stool for Pei Runzhi, then pushed Pei Yuxuan to the side of the table, and asked someone to pass the meal to the kitchen. He stared at Pei Runzhi without blinking.

Pei Runzhi was embarrassed by her look, reached out and pinched her little nose, and asked with a smile:

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at brother."

"What's so good about big brother?"

"Brother is just good-looking." Pei Xiaoran looked at that young and handsome face with mixed feelings in his heart.

Her brothers may never know how happy and grateful she was when she looked at them.

Of course, it is accompanied by the great fear and anxiety of losing them again.

No one can tell these emotions, she can only keep them in her heart, savoring and bearing them silently alone.

Then try to pretend to be what a child should be, so that the brothers don't find any clues.

Pei Runzhi couldn't laugh or cry, Pei Yuxuan pretended to be dissatisfied, and asked sourly:
"Could it be that in Xiaoran's heart, only the eldest brother is good-looking?"

Pei Xiaoran hurriedly said:

"The third brother is also good-looking."

Pei Yuxuan continued to tease her:
"Then why do you only look at the eldest brother and not the third brother?"

Pei Xiaoran blinked, and said very wittily:

"Because big brother is sitting opposite me, it's more convenient to watch~"

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan laughed heartily, when the three brothers and sisters were talking happily, Ling Yu pushed the door in and let the little girls behind him bring the food into the room one by one.

Pei Xiaoran noticed that the bowl that the little girl gave Pei Runzhi to hold porridge was a bit different from that of himself and the third brother. The one for her elder brother was just a small celadon bowl, while the one for her and the third brother was a small bowl of lotus flowers.

This is an insignificant detail, and Pei Xiaoran would not have noticed it normally, but now it is different, she has already become suspicious of Pei Runzhi's food, so she naturally observes it more carefully than usual.

After serving the porridge and serving the dishes, the maids all withdrew.

Pei Xiaoran glanced at Ling Yu and said with a smile:

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no need for elder sister Lingyu to stay here to take care of her, let's go back earlier and rest."

Ling Yu didn't refuse, and she backed off after saying yes.

There was only one porcelain bowl for the rice porridge. That is to say, if Pei Xingshan wanted to poison Pei Run, he would not put the poison in the rice porridge, because she and Pei Yuxuan also wanted to drink the rice porridge.

Since the poison is not in the rice porridge, it should be in...

Pei Xiaoran's eyes fell on Pei Runzhi's porridge bowl, seeing Pei Runzhi stirring it with a spoon, she lowered her head and wanted to take a sip, she hurriedly called out:

"Brother, wait!"

"What's wrong?" Pei Runzhi looked up at her in confusion.

Pei Xiaoran pointed to Pei Runzhi's porridge bowl, pouted and said:
"Brother's bowl looks good, I want to exchange it with my brother's."

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan had always doted on this younger sister, and were even more responsive to her requests, so they immediately smiled dotingly, and raised their hands to exchange their porridge bowls.

"Drink slowly, don't burn it."

"Oh, I see."

Pei Xiaoran obediently stirred the bowl with a porcelain spoon for a while, and then drank all the rice porridge in the bowl one spoon at a time.

"Brother, have you found the jade pendant?"

After eating, Pei Xiaoran chatted with Pei Runzhi while drinking tea.

Pei Runzhi sighed, frowned and said:
"Brother is incompetent and has not been found yet."
