Delicate Flower Chapter 357: Intention
This kind of denial of Gu Xi's ability made her tremble with anger.
What is the old lady of the Yang family?
If it was in the past, before she attended the Jiang family's wedding banquet, she was worried that the Yang family was Pei Tong's maternal family, and Mr. Yang was Guo Zilin's sacrificial wine. For the sake of Pei Tong's future, she would do anything I will bear this tone. But now, she can clearly feel that although both father and son of the Yang family have a good career in officialdom, in a family of officials like Zhang and Li, they are just short-lived upstarts. If they want others to take a high look, at least the family can A second-grade official or a first-grade official, or several officials who are fourth-grade or above can be produced in consecutive generations.
The current Yang family is not qualified to compete with aristocratic families like Zhang and Li, let alone challenge them.
She has nothing to be afraid of.
Gu Xi suddenly turned cold and stood up to leave: "In that case, let's say goodbye!"
The female family members of the Yang family were all stunned when they saw it. Mrs. Yang reacted quickly. She quickly grabbed Gu Xi's arm and suppressed the anger in her heart and said: "You child, what are you saying to me as an elder?" Is it because you feel that the Yang family is inferior to the Pei family, so you think what our old lady said is too harsh? But what the old lady said is not too wrong, right? The two ladies of the Pei family are not authentic, why don't they themselves I want you to be a guest when I come to visit? Do you know the purpose of our Yang family inviting them? What is the status of those accompanying guests? The old lady said that you are ignorant, are you still not convinced?"
Gu Xi has always been arrogant. After going to the Jiang family's wedding banquet, she found that even if the Jiang family looked down on the Pei family, they didn't dare to show it openly. The Zhang and Li families even regarded her as the eldest mistress of the Pei family. She valued him, not to mention she had a sister-in-law who was from the Yin family. She felt that apart from her seniority, there was nothing about her that was inferior to Yu Tang.
Mrs. Yang's words hit her hard at this period of unhappiness.
She immediately became wary and sneered: "My eldest aunt is wrong. My second aunt and third aunt have already said that they can't come because they have something to do, but you insist on hosting a banquet to entertain them. They have no choice, so they sent me." Come here. I thought, although the Fei family is powerful, the Yang family is my maternal family after all, and I have to stand with the Yang family no matter what. I never thought that in the eyes of my eldest aunt, I was wrong. I am not on both sides. Human? In that case, what am I still doing here? There are a lot of things at home waiting for me to go back!"
So, the two sisters-in-law of the Pei family really went to the Fei family!
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang exchanged glances. Mrs. Yang immediately smiled and said, "I know you are filial, obedient and sensible. Isn't your grandmother angry that you two ladies are too disrespectful?"
Gu Xi encountered many situations like this when she was at her parents' home. She took the opportunity to attack, showing a heartbroken look, and said: "If you don't talk to me, catch me, the person who came to the door with good intentions. Stab it randomly with a knife. Can I feel better?"
My sister-in-law is not an easy wife to get along with.
Mrs. Yang was disgusted in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She said, "You are also from the Yang family. Now that something like this has happened, what's the use of getting angry? It's better to sit down and discuss what to do?" ”
When Mrs. Yang Er, who had been silent until now, saw her, she suddenly interrupted: "What can we do? Tell those people not to come! She can't be the master of the family. It's useless even if we tell her!"
Mrs. Yang seemed to have been choked.
Gu Xi almost jumped up.
What does it mean?
Look down on her?
There are some things in the Pei family that she really can't be the master of, but it's not the Yang family's turn to discuss them here.
Gu Xi glanced at Mrs. Yang's second wife with a half-smile, and said, "I'm just saying, I'm of no use here. It's not interesting for my aunt to hold me back like this!"
Mrs. Yang glared at Mrs. Yang and did not let go of her hand holding Gu Xi's arm.
Mrs. Yang Er's face turned away, as if "I did nothing wrong and I will not apologize."
Mrs. Yang looked like she had a headache.
Gu Xi was a little unsure whether the Yang family had really encountered something and asked the Pei family, or whether the two of them were just putting on a show, when they heard Mrs. Yang slamming the table and shouting: "Okay. ! Stop talking. I’m not dead yet, and it’s not your turn to make the decision in this family!”
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang both lowered their heads, and Mrs. Yang even let go of Gu Xi's hand.
Gu Xi then realized that Mrs. Yang was holding on very hard, and her arm began to hurt a little.
She rubbed the area where she was caught.
Mrs. Yang looked tired, as if her high energy had been suddenly stripped away.
"Daughter-in-law Atong, sit down and talk." She said, "The eldest daughter-in-law will stay, and the second daughter-in-law will go and guard outside. I have something to say."
Gu Xi was surprised.
The two wives of the Yang family agreed in unison. Mrs. Yang refilled Mrs. Yang's tea, while Mrs. Yang retreated with the maid and wife in the room.
Mrs. Yang took a sip of tea and saw Gu Xi sitting under her, then she said: "Since you have said it till now, I won't hide it from you. We spent so much trouble to invite you The two ladies of the Pei family came here, and they indeed have something to ask for from the Pei family. However, by saying 'I have a request', it is to give the Pei family face. The Pei family may not agree, but what will be the consequences of not agreeing? You have to weigh it yourself."
Gu Xi was shocked.
This is not the tone of begging, it is a bit like... a threat.
Did the Yang family catch something against the Pei family?
Gu Xi is also a person who doesn't lose when he loses. He didn't show any emotion when he heard this, but his ears had already been raised.
When Mrs. Yang saw her like this, she knew that this was not without an idea.
She exchanged a look with Mrs. Yang again.
Mrs. Yang nodded slightly towards her mother-in-law.
If she wasn't so powerful, her sister-in-law wouldn't have married her as her eldest daughter-in-law.
At this point, Mrs. Yang can only become a doctor. She said: "When you go back, tell your third aunt that our family wants to get closer to the Pei family and make another marriage. If she feels that Lao An of the Pei family is not willing, it is better to shirk it. You can let her She goes and asks your third uncle. Others don’t know, but our family knows. Who gave the three princes the two hundred thousand taels of silver when they moved back to Jiangnan?"
Gu Xi is not an ignorant woman and child, not to mention that Gu Chang, because Gu Xi does not have an older female to teach her, is afraid that she will suffer a disadvantage, so sometimes he will use some things in the court to compare to her.
She knew about last year’s Buddha Bathing Festival sermon and the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Do the Yang family’s words imply that the 200,000 taels of silver given to the third prince were given by the Pei family?
Gu Xi suddenly panicked.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver is a trivial matter. If you look deeper, you can also deduce that it was blackmailed by the third prince. But the problem is that these two hundred thousand taels of silver are also related to the assassination of the second prince.
The emperor has never established a heir apparent. Logically speaking, he must be either his direct descendant or his eldest son. There should be nothing wrong with the Third Prince. But the emperor has always liked the third prince, and because of the third prince, he did not let the second prince go and die. There used to be rumors that the reason why the previous chief assistant became an official was related to his opposition to the emperor's abolition of elders and establishment of younger ones.
If the Pei family is involved in this kind of turmoil, it will be useless no matter how powerful they are!
Everything in the world is the land of the king.
"What do you mean?" Gu Xi's voice was a bit sharp, "Some things can be done randomly, but some words cannot be said randomly. The Yang family and the Pei family are in-laws!"
Mrs. Yang was very satisfied with Gu Xi's reaction and said coldly: "I am so old, how can I still coax you to have a child! We do want the Pei family to treat us as in-laws, so we must treat us as in-laws. That's fine. Otherwise, why should we advance and retreat together with the Pei family, and share the joys and sorrows. Well, you can't make up your mind about these things. It's hard for you if I let you take the lead. But the two wives of the Pei family won't let our Yang family go. In your eyes, even if we want to have a good talk with the two ladies of the Pei family, we can’t do it, so we can only wrong you.”
Gu Xi shook his head, feeling confused in his heart, not knowing how he got home.
But when she got home, she found that Yu Tang and the second wife were not at home.
She was so angry that she breathed heavily, thinking that if this was true, what would she do? I don’t know if Pei You was involved? Is it too late for the elder to draw a clear line with the Pei family at this time?
Gu Xi didn't bother to change, so she got on the sedan again and went to Gu Chang's place.
Gu Chang has not gone to the office yet, and her sister-in-law Yin is not at home either.
She couldn't help but ask the grandma of the Gu family: "What did my sister-in-law do?"
"It's said that Mr. Qin from the Ministry of Rites is having a treat at his house." The nanny said with a smile, "Mrs. Yin, Mrs. Yin, and your two wives have all come over."
Didn’t I say that Mrs. Fei is here?
Gu Xi was confused.
The nanny said: "It's because Mrs. Fei is here! Mrs. Qin washed Mrs. Fei's dust, and the Qin family invited several ladies to accompany her."
Is this why Yu Tang sent her to the Yang family?
Are you afraid that she will be in the limelight, or that she will make more friends with foreign wives?
Gu Xi waited for nearly an hour like a trapped animal, and finally arrived at Gu Chaoyang.
She took her brother to the study and quietly told him about the incident.
Gu Chaoyang was so surprised that he couldn't hide his expression, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he murmured to himself: "No wonder Pei Xiaguang stepped forward to deal with this matter? I thought he wanted to establish his authority, I hope he will come. Don’t you want others to find out that this matter is related to the Pei family? This is really something Pei You can do..."
Hearing his brother mention his deceased father-in-law, Gu Xi's hair stood up~IndoMTL.com~ and said hurriedly: "Brother, is this really related to the Pei family? Is it related to my father-in-law? Is it possible? Is the Yang family lying?"
Gu Chaoyang shook his head and said thoughtfully: "I have heard about this before, but I didn't think about it deeply, especially since Pei You suddenly died of illness and the Pei family retreated to Lin'an."
After saying this, the brother and sister couldn't help but look at each other.
Pei Yan is a scheming person and has won the trust of Mr. Zhang. No normal father would call such a son who is likely to be appointed prime minister back to his hometown to guard the family business.
Or, this matter has nothing to do with Pei You, but to do with Pei Yan?
Both of them saw an expression in each other's eyes that complex words could not describe.
"We must talk to Pei Xiaguang about this matter." Gu Chang found that he suddenly seemed to have grasped the Pei family's handle. His throat felt a little dry, and his voice was hoarse, "If the Pei family is unlucky, we The family will also be implicated."
Gu Chang regretted marrying his sister to the Pei family very much at this time.
