stern wife

Chapter 76
"Yes." The servant bowed his head in response, and said again:

"That person was also caught, I wonder how Miss will deal with it?"

"Oh?" Pei Xiaoran was stunned for a while, but he really didn't expect this level, and he spoke again after a while:

"It's not considered stealing, let him go."

The boy was a little surprised, but he still nodded and asked respectfully:
"Miss, do you have any other orders?"

"Yes," Pei Xiaoran untied the small pouch on his waist, took out all the broken silver inside, stuffed it into the boy's hand and said:

"Thank you for making this trip. It's cold early in the morning. Let's buy some hot food on the way to warm up."

The young man felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and was about to refuse, but Pei Xiaoran said with a smile:
"This is an order, do you dare not obey?"

The boy had no choice but to accept it, and after thanking him again and again, he followed the woman.

The old lady was standing beside her, she could hear what they said clearly, but she couldn't understand what the two of them were saying. On the way here, she also asked the young man in a circumstantial way, but the young man kept his mouth tight. It was like a shell, she couldn't pry it open no matter what, and her lungs hurt so much from anger.

Stuffing the things wrapped in the brocade handkerchief into his arms, Pei Xiaoran rolled up his sleeves and continued to wash.

Just after washing, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming into his ears. Pei Xiaoran turned his head and saw that Pei Xingshan came in with a few maids. The maids were still holding trays with clothes and jewelry on them. thing.

Pei Xiaoran smiled in satisfaction.

It seems that after the Holy Majesty's lesson, from now on, Pei Xingshan will never let the people in the house treat her and her brothers harshly in terms of clothes.

Sure enough, as soon as he approached, Pei Xingshan pointed to the trays in the hands of the girls, and said in an orderly tone:

"Today you wear these to enter the palace. You are not allowed to wear the one you wore before entering the palace. Remember?"

Pei Xiaoran nodded obediently and said:
"Daughter remembers."

Seeing that her face was pale, Pei Xingshan asked:

"Why is your face so ugly?"

Before Pei Xiaoran could answer, he immediately changed the subject indifferently and asked:

"Have you found something?"

This is what he cares most about. As for the sentence just now, it was just a random question.

Pei Xiaoran had no choice but to swallow the answer to the first question she just thought of. She was also stupid. How could she expect this man called father to care about her?
She paused, then said:
"What will happen to my father if I don't find it?"

Pei Xingshan seemed to have long believed that she would not find it. He was not surprised to hear the answer, and only said coldly:

"This is what you boasted to the Holy Master yourself. No one forced you, so you can't find it. You go and ask the Holy Master for your sins, but don't implicate our Pei family. If you are involved... don't blame me for being rude!"

Pei Xiaoran raised his head, tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth, and said with a sweet smile:
"Yes, Xiaoran will follow his father to the palace to 'plead guilty' to the Holy One."

"You really didn't find it?" Pei Xingshan frowned, with a cold light in his eyes, and threatened in a deep voice:
"You have made a promise to the Holy Majesty but failed to keep it. You are deceiving the emperor! At that time, in addition to the punishment of the Holy Majesty, when you come back, I will also use the family law! Lies are full of lies at a young age. My Pei family has no Such a daughter!"

The heads of the Pei family are all military officers, and the family law is naturally stricter than other families. She remembered that those who violated the family law in the history of the Pei family were either dead or disabled.

She shrunk her shoulders, pretended to be terrified, and closed her mouth tightly without uttering a word.

Pei Xingshan waited and saw that she neither said she found it nor said she didn't find it, so he asked:
"Is it found or not found?! Tell the truth!"

Pei Xiaoran pointed to his mouth, shook his head, his big round eyes were full of grievances.

"What's the matter? Talk!" Pei Xingshan became impatient. Except for his precious concubine daughters and concubine sons, he had no patience for other children.

Only then did Pei Xiaoran timidly speak:

"Father said that I lied a lot, so if my father doesn't believe what I said, wouldn't it be a lie? So I might as well not say anything. In this way, won't there be no more 'lies'?"

"you!"

Pei Xingshan was angry, but because he was about to take her into the palace, he couldn't beat her to vent his anger, so he could only hold back his anger and waved at the girls behind him.

The girls immediately stepped forward, and said to Pei Xiaoran:

"Miss, please change your clothes."

Pei Xiaoran also knew that he would accept as soon as he was good, so as not to really annoy Pei Xingshan and call him a beating.

——Of course, it's not certain whether Pei Xingshan can beat her or not.

Pei Xiaoran turned around and entered his room, and the maids hurriedly followed in to serve.

However, when changing clothes, Pei Xiaoran didn't let anyone get close, and only walked out by himself after changing behind the screen.

The injury on her leg cannot be discovered by anyone.

When the maids saw her coming out, they hurriedly welcomed her to the vanity mirror and combed her hair.

Pei Xiaoran pointed to the rouge box on the table, and said:

"I like this, sisters remember to put more on me."

Pei Xingshan brought them here to let them dress up Pei Xiaoran well, so as not to be picked on by others, and he had repeatedly instructed them before coming.

So even if Pei Xiaoran didn't say anything, they wouldn't let Pei Xiaoran go out with such a bad face, and Pei Xingshan would definitely beat them to death, so naturally they had to cover it with rouge.

The girls tried their best to make Pei Xiaoran look good, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, they finally stopped and returned to Pei Xingshan.

Pei Xiaoran took a sip of the hot tea that the girls had just offered, then stood up, ready to enter the palace with Pei Xingshan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, her elder brother pushed her third brother in.

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan saw their younger sister's elegant demeanor and rosy complexion, no different from usual, and because the girls put on delicate light makeup, they looked even more beautiful and pleasant, but they didn't find any clues, instead they tsk-tsk and praised:

"However, you look really nice today."

Pei Xiaoran pinched the handkerchief to cover his mouth and smiled, vividly interpreting the posture of the shy little daughter, squeezed his throat and said softly:
"But thank you two brothers for your praise~"

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan laughed loudly, and couldn't help but continue to worry after laughing. Pei Runzhi approached and asked in a low voice:

"The jade pendant of King Li...can Xiaoran find it?"

Pei Xiaoran drooped his little head, and said dejectedly:
"No, I didn't find it..."

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan frowned together.

Although my sister had sworn to them before that she had a way to find it, but this time she said that she couldn't find it.

But the matter has come to this point, they can only try their best to find a way to help their sister solve it.
