Chapter 155: Ruthless
The old lady smiled with satisfaction and said, "As long as you understand, get up."
Pei Xiner stood up, but said with some embarrassment: "Old madam, I am not shirking my responsibility. This matter is indeed what my grandfather wants to handle, but now I can't stop suddenly, lest I cause trouble.
My displeasure also makes the servants feel that the master changes his orders day and night, and becomes even more uncontrollable when he comes back. I am thinking that even if I want to stop, I have to slowly figure it out and get over it without leaving any trace. What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
The old lady pondered for a while, nodded and said: "That's the reason, then let's do it. I see that you are also measured in what you do, and you know what to do, so you can end this matter without leaving any trace.
It’s not easy, you have to grasp the right balance.”
Pei Xiner nodded and said respectfully: "I know, please rest assured, Madam."
The old lady said a few more words before letting her out.
When she walked out of the old lady's yard, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, in front of the old lady, she had always obeyed, and she knew that what the old lady said was reasonable. But she could not respond sincerely. After returning, she would have to continue to do what she should do. After all, the old lady did not know the true nature of Zhao Yutang.
The purpose, what he wanted was to eliminate the Feng family's influence one by one and find a way to make the Feng family lose power, so that once the emperor took action against the Feng family, he could justifiably take action without being constrained by in-law relationships.
Sighing silently, she cheered up and walked towards her yard.
"How is Aunt Sun doing recently?" She took the time to ask Ruiniang, who was in charge of the matter. Among the people around her, only Ruiniang had given birth, so it was most appropriate for her to keep an eye on Sun.
Ruiniang said: "Auntie, don't worry. Aunt Sun is doing well now. Grandma has no energy or courage to design her for the time being. Aunt Li is also taking care of her carefully. Grandma also tried her best to send her a lot of supplements. Now,
My son and grandson’s sitting posture is much better and more stable than before.”
"Really?" Pei Xin'er paused, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said lightly. "She is a lucky one...after all, her delivery date should not be far away, right?"
Ruiniang said: "Yes, the doctor estimates that the day will come in two months."
Pei Xiner said: "Wen Po and wet nurse should be found in advance, don't worry about it when the day comes. You have experience in this matter, go find it. You must find someone with rich experience and clean wealth. You might as well find a few more. We can also
You can choose from them. No matter what, she is pregnant with my bloodline, so she must not neglect it."
Ruiniang nodded and said, "Don't worry, auntie, I'll leave this matter to you. I promise to handle it properly for you."
Pei Xiner nodded with satisfaction.
In the evening, Zhao Yutsang came back from outside and rested in Pei Xiner's room. Pei Xiner looked down at him as he ate, sat on the kang and talked, then told him what happened during the day when the old lady called him.
She said with a slight complaint: "Master, it's easy for me to give an order, but the old lady is very smart. She called me over and scolded me for a while, but I couldn't argue with you... Master, since you are doing errands for the emperor, why not just do it?"
Tell the old lady and madam? Let them have some confidence in their hearts. In addition, it will also prevent them from not knowing your painstaking efforts and always doing bad things with good intentions."
She was very depressed, and she didn't even dare to say it out loud that the old lady was always causing trouble for her, all because of the word "filial piety". A son would never say anything about his mother's fault, let alone an old lady who was separated by a lifetime, and she couldn't even say half of it.
It's a "wrong" word. He is a grown man who only cares about matters in the outer courtyard and the court, so she can only face these accusations alone. Thinking about it, she always feels unhappy.
After hearing this, Zhao Yutong couldn't help but smile. Naturally he knew the grievance in her heart. He stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and comforted you: "I've made you feel wronged. But there is nothing I can do about it. I just need to wait until the emperor handles it."
The Feng family can be relieved. Although there is absolutely nothing ulterior motives in working for the emperor, such secrets must not be leaked. Except for the person involved, it is best not to tell anyone else, in order to avoid
Even though my grandmother is a sensible person, she is too soft-hearted after all. After all, Feng is also Dun Geer, the biological mother of Sister Fang, and has been with her for so many years. Even if she knew the emperor's plan, she would not be able to bear it.
. Instead of making her old lady worried and sad, it would be better to hide it all the time, which is also a good thing."
After listening to what he said so much, the bottom line is that the emperor’s order is greater than the sky. In order to fulfill the order, all the people must be kept in the dark. He said that the old lady would treat Feng for the sake of her great-grandson and great-granddaughter.
If he can't bear it, then as the biological father of the child, doesn't he have no patience at all? Besides, even if he keeps hiding it from the old lady, when he really wants to reveal it in the end, won't the old lady be even more shocked and sad?
He was a loyal minister, loyal to the emperor, but yet so cruel to others!
Although Pei Xin'er smiled, her smile became extremely forced, and there was no smile in her eyes. She was not very kind-hearted to complain about the injustice between the old lady and the Feng family, but she was just like others. In Zhao Yutang's eyes, she was nothing more than
Just a chess piece, right? When this matter is over and she has no use value, what will be the outcome?
Her body reacted naturally at the thought, which frightened her and made her feel cold. Zhao Yuchang held her in his arms, and suddenly found that her delicate body in his arms stiffened. He thought about it for a moment, but he still didn't understand what she was thinking?
He couldn't help but sigh silently. He had nothing to say, so he could only hug her tighter. There were some words that he couldn't say, and he didn't know how to say them. He was the emperor's confidant, and he was destined to have to do it from the beginning.
Tied to the same boat as the emperor, if anything went wrong, not to mention his family, even he himself would not be able to escape. On his shoulders, he was responsible for the rise and fall of the entire Yongwei General Mansion. Compared with his family, the continuation of the family
and inheritance are more important. Others seem to think that he is a powerful minister with a bright future, but they don't know that he also has his own last resort. Some things are not a question of whether he wants to do it or not, but that he has no choice at all.
The two of them just hugged each other, and their seemingly intimate behavior concealed two different thoughts. They couldn't be said to be completely opposite, but there was no possibility of their intersection.
Amid the busy schedule, the first month passed. The Zhao family was not living a happy life this year, but fortunately nothing went wrong. Pei Xiner was in charge of the affairs within the house, and the external dealings were handled by the old lady and Mrs. Zhao personally. Pei Xiner
Although it was a bit hard, I also gained a lot.
After being beaten by the old lady, she took advantage of the situation and slowed down the investigation of the inner house. She only took the opportunity to pull out a few nails that were usually more arrogant. Others did not move. Not only did she not move, but she also tried every means to do so.
After stabilizing them, the maids and women in the house were relieved. These people didn't know that Pei Xiner was deliberately showing mercy, and thought that she was running around and bribery worked. In order to stabilize them, Pei Xiner
, does not strictly prohibit her subordinates from accepting other people's money, but it has made everyone in her yard a small fortune, which has added a bit of joy to this unstable New Year.
After the first lunar month, the number of exchanges between the families gradually became less and less, and the people in the family became a little more stable. Mrs. Feng was still ill, and Mrs. Sun concentrated on raising the baby. Mrs. Li was timid, so she stayed in the yard to take care of Mrs. Sun.
, the old lady and Madam Zhao were very busy during the Chinese New Year, and they still haven't caught their breath yet, so the entire inner house of the General's Mansion showed a rare scene of peace, and Pei Xin'er's life became much more relaxed.
After the New Year, the teachers from the school also came back, and Sister Ling and Brother Dun started going to school again. Without their lively and lovely eldest daughter around them, Pei Xiner devoted all her energy to Brother Chun.
.Some days ago, she was busy with housekeeping and didn't even have time to dress her son. She felt very guilty, so she took advantage of some free time to make some clothes for her son. Brother Chun could crawl and turn over, and he could not sleep all day long.
He is not afraid of people and does not like to cry. He always has a silly smile on his face when everyone teases him. He will only howl twice unless he is in a hurry. He has a very good temper. Pei Xin'er looks loving and pitiful. She loves her son's well-behavedness, but she is worried about him.
I'm afraid that such a good temper will inevitably suffer in the future.
The old lady and Madam Zhao also loved Brother Chun to the core, and would carry him to play with them almost every day. They would go there for half a day and then bring him back in the afternoon. Although Pei Xin'er was a little reluctant to let him go, she also knew that this was important to her.
There is nothing better than a son, so if you don't want to let go, you have no choice but to let go. After all, Brother Chun is a concubine, and his background is there. If you follow her, your future will not be much better. But if you can please me
If people and Mrs. Zhao are happy, the road in the future will be much smoother, which is a good thing.
Fortunately, although the old lady liked Brother Chun, she did not propose to bring him to her side to raise. Now that Feng was weak and could not take care of the child, the old lady raised Brother Dun and Sister Fang in her own home.
In the house, Brother Dun is the eldest grandchild, and she loves him the most. She also takes the most care of Brother Dun among the four children. Sister Fang is only three years old, and it is the time when she needs someone to take care of her.
, these two legitimate sons and daughters consumed most of her time. Relatively speaking, Madam Zhao paid more attention to Sister Ling and Brother Chun than the old Madam.
On this day, Pei Xiner once again asked Brother Chun to pay her respects to the old lady. Originally, with her status, she was neither qualified nor necessary to say hello every day, but because of Brother Chun, she often appeared in front of the old lady and Mrs. Zhao.
For a concubine, this is a huge honor - although she herself is not unfamiliar with it. But it is undeniable that due to such frequent meetings, the relationship between her and the old lady is quite different.
It had relaxed a lot before. After all, people's hearts are always fleshy, and most of the barriers between people come from strangers to each other. After we get to know each other better, many things can be understood by each other. Besides, the old lady loves the house and the bird,
Since I like Brother Chun, I naturally want to be kind to Brother Chun's biological mother. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
