Pei Shu looked coldly at the mother and daughter who had different thoughts, and clicked her tongue,

"This first thing depends on how you put it. To put it lightly, I am just a man, but to put it more deeply, I am the head of the clan after all. If others like my things, I have to give them away. This would be provoking the head of the family.

Suspicious of authority.”

"The latter one, when my mother helped the Seventh Grand Master to devolve power from me, is much more serious than the former. Don't blame your daughter for speaking harshly. My mother is a married woman, and interfering in family affairs by interfering on her behalf can be regarded as transgression."

"But..."

Seeing that Mrs. Qin's face was getting more and more ugly, Pei Shu felt inexplicably comfortable and said in a teasing tone,

"If you give birth to me, you will have to give me some mercy. But mother... have you thought about what you will give me in exchange for it?"

Qin Korong's eyes widened and he raised his voice and asked,

"I am your mother-in-law. I worked hard to conceive and give birth to you for ten months. In the end, I thought it was going to be smooth sailing, but I still have to exchange benefits with you?"

Pei Shu tilted her head and looked at her with a smile: "What else?"

The cynical demeanor made Qin Kourong full of evil fire, and he spoke plausibly.

"If it wasn't because you were going to Lushan, I would have been so angry that I had fetal gas, which caused my brother Ji and sister Yu to be weak and sickly when they were born. You owe her this, and you should let her go.

, He’s just a young man, how about my sister Yu?”

Pei Shu held her fan and waved it leisurely in the wind, and echoed the words without wandering,

"If you want it, why don't you want it? Didn't I ask you to get something in exchange for it?"

There is no reason to give away things you don’t want for nothing.

Qin Korong was so angry that he fell back and asked in his heart: "Are you even remotely ashamed of yourself?"

Pei Shu pulled her lips and smiled, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"I have a clear conscience. I was only five years old when I went to Lushan. I can decide where you want to send me?"

Then she gave a sharp suggestion: "If you must settle this debt, it must be settled on Aye's head."

Qin Korong choked. If she could control Pei Kunliang, would she need to fall on purpose?!

Mrs. Qin used the safety of her unborn child as a bargaining chip, but could not make Pei Kunliang change his mind. This matter was a secret and sharp pain in Mrs. Qin's heart.

Most of the time you can just put the fault on others and feel better for the time being.

"I don't care!" This was the first time that Qin Korong faced the sharpness of her eldest daughter. She couldn't hold back the situation, so she continued to be arrogant.

Her voice was a little out of control,

"You have replaced Brother Ji as the Queen, and you have the unshirkable responsibility to solve the problems for the entire clan. Today you must properly resolve the matter between Sister Yu and the Seventh Master. If you cannot satisfy people, it means you are incompetent. Please give way as soon as possible.

.”

She has always been unreasonable and unreasonable.

"Public is public, private is private. You are just talking nonsense and talking to others, and you are still just a mother. You can't understand."

Pei Shu said with a half-smile,

"Could it be that my mother thought that she was holding a young child as a regent and the Queen Mother, and with a slight touch of words, she wanted to pick up the stars in the sky, and I had to step up the ladder?"

Hearing the treacherous words, the maids and women in the room lowered their heads one after another, wishing they were deafened immediately.

"You unfilial and disloyal thing!" Qin Korong was furious. She slapped the edge of the bed and stood up suddenly.

"If I had known that you were a bad person that no one in your family would recognize, I should have strangled you to death, lest you cause trouble and bring trouble to the family."

Pei Yu leaned in her arms and was almost thrown off the bed by Qin who was in a rage.

Xianxian stabilized his body and quietly shrank into the brocade quilt, reducing his sense of presence.

Normally, she would have spoken out to help, but what she said before was only listened to by Pei Shu. It was when she felt guilty.

I can't take care of the Qin family anymore.

For fear of being burned by fire.

Outside the courtyard, cicadas chirped loudly.

The scorching sun is the hottest time of the day.

But the midsummer heat wave couldn't drive away the coldness in Pei Shu's heart.

When a mother can say something that makes her want to strangle her child, then the so-called affection between mother and child is gone.

As the child in her mouth, Pei Shu's heart was filled with boundless sadness.

"Mom, you might as well think about it for a few days, and I'll go back to the hospital first."

There is nothing to say, Qin always surpasses her imagination time and time again.

After finishing speaking, Pei Shu didn't even look at Qin who was angry and in disbelief.

Shi Shiran stood up, her long cigarette skirt trailing to the floor, with layers of pleated flowers hanging from the hem.

After leaving Xiyuan, all the emotions faded away.

In summer, flowers and trees are in full bloom, and the garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, competing to bloom.

Pei Shu leisurely and elegantly picked some flower branches and put them in the vase.

Passing by a clump of wisteria, I suddenly heard a dull noise, mixed with the desperate whimpering of a woman.

Through the overlapping branches, the three masters and servants saw two tall and thick-waisted women holding down a little maid and playing with the board. The maid's back was blood red, and she had more air coming in than coming out.

Yunque exhaled softly: "Hey, isn't that Xiaoqing?"

Pei Shu: "Do you know him?"

Yunque stared at the bloody person opposite Huateng, feeling quite unbearable, and couldn't help but speak for her in front of her master,

"She works in the kitchen and is a very honest person. Who knows what she did to deserve such a heavy punishment?"

Pei Shu asked a few more questions: "Do you know her details? Does she have any relatives in the house?"

"No, I remember hearing her mention that she was the only one who had lost all her relatives who had fled during the famine, and that she had sold herself into slavery because she couldn't survive."

Yun Que is outgoing and active, and loves to eat. She likes to go to the kitchen the most. No one in the entire Zhilan Residence is more familiar with the kitchen than she is.

"If I hadn't been in the government for three years, I would still be a rough maid."

It's hard to stand out if you don't have anything to do with it.

Pei Shu had some thoughts in mind: "Go over and have a look."

Sister Yu seems to have something strange in her mind. She has roughly guessed a reason or two, but she is not sure yet and needs to keep an eye on it.

I am worried that there are no readily available manpower.

Except for Yunque Yunlu and Aunt Xin who was far away in Fujian, all the people in Zhilanju, from the housekeeper to the maids, were all left to her by Pei Kunliang.

The euphemistic name is that the manpower specially prepared for her, claiming that they are all from the same family, makes her feel at ease to use them.

The problem lies precisely in having children at home.

Their father, brother, and son all served Pei Kunliang with unwavering loyalty. When Pei Kunliang was in need, he would naturally turn against him.

The key point is that they were also kept in the dark. They didn't know that from the day they were assigned to the Zhilan residence, they were destined to betray their master.

Therefore, when these people were working under her, they all obeyed her orders with sincerity and were obedient to her orders.

In her past life, Pei Shu naturally had no way of doubting her.
