Delicate Flower Chapter 170: Consequences

No one can sit down after something like this happened.

At the second wife's signal, several juniors stood up and left like quails, leaving only the second wife and Yi Lao'an to comfort Pei Lao'an in the room.

After exiting the Moon Gate of the main courtyard, the fifth lady patted her chest in panic and whispered to Yu Tang: "This is the first time I have seen my grandmother get so angry. It scared me to death!"

Yu Tang was also shocked.

I didn’t expect Pei Lao’an, who usually seemed kind and kind, to curse so sharply. No wonder everyone in the Pei family respects and fears her - if the tiger is not in danger, don't think it is a sick cat.

She comforted Miss Fifth with a gentle voice: "Didn't you just say that it was the first time I saw Lao An get so angry? It shows that Lao An is not someone who loses his temper easily. She loses her temper because of Mrs. Shen. What you said is too much."

The fourth lady seemed to be frightened. She heard the conversation between Yu Tang and the fifth lady. She couldn't wait to come over and asked Yu Tang quietly: "Does that mean we don't offend my great-aunt? Auntie won’t lose her temper?"

"Well, well, well." Yu Tang nodded repeatedly, gently touched Miss Fourth's head, and chuckled, "No one loses his temper for no reason!"

The third lady had a fierce look on her face. She was walking in front of them angrily, but she slowed down at some point. She turned around and took the fourth lady's hand, whispering: "It was Mrs. Shen who was wrong today - -What happened to Uncle Yan and Miss Li's family? What does it have to do with her? If others listened to her words, they would definitely think that it was Uncle Yan who was wrong. She was framing her! If I were my great-aunt, I would also lose my temper!" At this point, , she sighed slightly and said, "However, my great-aunt has a really bad temper. She scolds her whenever she wants. I'm afraid Mrs. Shen won't let it go!"

Yu Tang had been suppressed by Lao An's temper before and had not thought about Mrs. Shen's words carefully. Now when he heard what the third lady said, he felt that there was something in Mrs. Shen's words and it was indeed inappropriate.

She was just thinking about how to expose this matter when she heard the second lady snort coldly and said to Gu Xi: "...care about her face? Who cares about our family's face! Ah! Sister Xi, I think Mrs. Shen is not a good person, and you should stay away from her in the future."

Sister Axi! When did the second young lady become so close to Gu Xi?

Yu Tang looked up.

Gu Xi stood face to face with the second lady with an embarrassed look on his face. It was obvious that he was talking about something just now. However, the second lady got excited and spoke too loudly for everyone to hear.

"Second Sister is right!" Third Miss stepped forward to support Second Miss with a solemn look, "Sister Gu, you are a very nice person, but sometimes good people have to distinguish right from wrong. Mrs. Shen... she can't talk nonsense like this. Well, you'd better have less contact with her."

Gu Xi was extremely embarrassed.

Yu Tang helped her out, stretched out his hand to pull the third lady, and said: "See no evil, and hear no evil. Regarding Mrs. Shen's matter, Lao'an, the second wife, and Yi Lao'an have made their own decisions, and we will Don't talk about anything behind her back. Lao An must be in a bad mood today. Let's go back and rest first. We will see later if Lao An wants us to accompany him. If not, let's think about what we can do tomorrow tonight. , so that the people of Lao'an will also be happy."

"Okay!" The third lady felt that she was talking about Mrs. Shen behind her back, so she nodded sheepishly, turned around and took the fourth lady's hand.

The fifth lady ran over and said to the third lady: "There's me, there's me."

The third lady hurriedly held the fifth lady with her other hand.

The second young lady then looked at Yu Tang, and said in a somewhat respectful tone: "Sister Yu, let's go back first. You and Sister Gu must be careful on the road." She also warned Gu Xi, "If Sister Gu If you have nothing to do, you can come and play with us or Sister Yu. I remember that there is an unoccupied back room over Sister Yu’s house. Although the place is not very good, it is better than living with such people."

Gu Xi nodded repeatedly and thanked the second young lady.

The four Miss Pei returned to their residences one after another.

Gu Xi blushed and thanked Yu Tang: "Thank you for speaking up for me, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

As she spoke, the corners of her eyes turned red, looking ashamed and embarrassed.

Yu Tang didn’t do that for Gu Xi, but because he didn’t want Miss Pei to discuss the matter anymore. If it spread, if he didn’t make it clear, others would think that the Pei family was bullying others. If it becomes clear, it will become an anecdote in the Pei family. It would be better for the juniors to pretend not to know. So she heard the words and said: "You have also suffered a terrible disaster, so don't take it to heart."

But at this time, Gu Xi was still young after all, and had not yet mastered the skills of her previous life. She thought that Yu Tang was pitying her, and she couldn't help complaining to Yu Tang: "I thought she was an elder, so I followed her out. She can give me some advice on what is rude about being a guest. Who knew I would encounter such a thing? I don’t know what she thinks. Even if the third master really rejects the Li family’s marriage, she can’t say that. Ah! When she said this, how could Miss Li’s family behave? If words were spread, and if others thought these words were said by Lao An, wouldn’t it make the Pei and Li families enemies?”

Yu Tang glanced at Gu Xi strangely.

Gu Xi was stunned.

Yu Tang was thinking of her past life. Before Gu Xi discovered Li Duan's dirty thoughts towards her, he often complained to her in a low voice about Mrs. Lin.

She still remembered one time when she was standing on the verandah, with the maid and mother-in-law following them at a distance. Outside the verandah was the white snow, and a red plum reached over and she could pick it off with her hands.

Yu Tang was a little dazed.

Time seemed to go back to the past. She couldn't tell what was true and what was false for a while.

Gu Xi felt a little uneasy.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Yu Tang had told the ladies of the Pei family to "look no further", but in the blink of an eye she complained about Mrs. Shen's bad qualities. It would have been nice if Yu Tang had answered the question, but Yu Tang seemed unwilling to say more. In contrast, she seemed very uneducated.

She said goodbye to Yu Tang in a hurry, and her face was still burning when she returned to the house.

While He Xiang served her to change clothes, he discussed with her in a low voice: "What should we do? After all, we live in the same courtyard, how can we pretend not to know? This Mrs. Shen is the same. She fails to succeed and fails more than she does. If The eldest son knows what she has done, and he still doesn’t know how to regret it!"

Yu Tang's somewhat indifferent face always appeared in Gu Xi's mind.

She also thought about the attitude of the young ladies of the Pei family towards Yu Tang, especially the second young lady. It took her a lot of effort to gradually become familiar with the second young lady, and the second young lady began to be willing to tell her some things about the Pei family. However, Yu Tang only used a few words to make the second lady, who had not been very fond of Yu Tang in the past, look at her in a new light.

Could this be God’s will!

No matter what she does, Yu Tang is more attracted to the Pei family than she is?

Gu Xi was unconvinced and felt confused. She interrupted He Xiang without answering and said, "Miss Yu, she really knows how to put on airs. She still puts on an airs when talking to her. I see I've never been a pretentious person, but I've never seen anyone more pretentious than her. I think we'd better stay away from her in the future!"

He Xiang was confused and didn’t know how to answer the call.

Gu Xi was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake.

Yu Tang, when did you have such a big influence on her?

She was even more confused.

Then he thought of Mrs. Shen and could no longer keep the smile on her face. She darkened her face and told He Xiang: "I will write a letter to the eldest son. You can find a way to send it to the capital without disturbing the Pei family. As for me... Just say that after I came back, I was so sad that I couldn’t eat and fell ill!”

"Ah!" Hexiang exclaimed.

Gu Xi said sharply: "Keep your voice down! Are you still afraid that the Pei family won't pay attention to us? Mrs. Shen has done such a thing, what else can I do if I don't get sick? Do you still want me to go to her bed?" Isn’t it possible that the former servant is ill?”

Hexiang didn't dare to speak.

Gu Xi asked: "How is Mrs. Shen's situation?"

He Xiang said hurriedly: "Aunt Chen came back with her in person. After that, Aunt Chen stayed in Mrs. Shen's room. I was afraid of getting us involved, so I didn't dare to go over and inquire carefully, but there was no listening from the other side. What's going on?"

So what Lao An said was a moment of anger? Or should Shen Shanyan really take her away?

I’m just afraid that Mrs. Shen will feel so humiliated and don’t want to live anymore!

Gu Xi wrote a letter to Gu Chang with mixed emotions, and asked He Xiang to burn a hand stove for her with the Pei family servant who was serving in the courtyard, and then went to the second wife to report her illness.

The second wife hurried over and asked her a few questions about her condition. After the doctor came, the second wife gave way and the old doctor, who was over sixty years old, took her pulse and prescribed an ordinary Bupleurum decoction. After the Pei family sent someone to grab the medicine and Gu Xi rested, the second wife returned to Lao Anren's house.

Lao An lost his temper and regained his former pleasant demeanor, saying, "Have you settled down with Miss Gu?"

"Okay!" The second wife said with a long breath, "Fortunately, it's just an ordinary fever. The doctor also said that it may be caused by convulsions. I'm afraid it's caused by Mrs. Shen's incident."

Lao An snorted coldly, without comment, and asked Yu Tang: "Where is Miss Yu?"

"Very good!" said the second wife, "I said I just stopped after practicing calligraphy for a while."

Lao An's face turned slightly bright.

Although Yu Tang had his eyes closed while resting, his mind was spinning rapidly.

Gu Xi's words reminded her. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lao An lost his temper, and it was certainly not simply because Mrs. Shen said the wrong thing.

According to Mrs. Shen’s words, the marriage between the Li and Pei families failed because the Li family should have regretted it. Otherwise, the Li family would not have helped take care of the eldest master’s affairs and even helped to keep him a favor. Quota, you have to know how to be kind when people leave, and you have to remember you before you can be kind. If the emperor doesn’t remember you, even if you are the son of a third-grade official, you have to work hard to be kind. .

This is also a very honorable thing for the Pei family.

But judging from Lao Anren's words, it seems that things are not that simple.

Why should a man have no wife? Even if the Li family regretted this matter, the Pei family also received compensation. Why did Lao An react so strongly to Mrs. Shen's words?

This is not just a fear of damaging the relationship between the two families!

The more Yu Tang thought about it, the more clueless she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep. She simply put on her clothes and got up, opened the window, and took a breath.
