Substitute Marriage 22

Pei family

Mrs. Pei also thought of what happened to the Yu family.

When her son came back a few days ago, he went to Weiyuan Hou Mansion and disappeared. Such a big thing happened in Yu Mansion. Her son had obviously come back but was not at home. She couldn't call Ling Yatou over, lest she watch.

Thinking too much, I can only send someone to bring gifts to appease him.

As for the people who said she wanted to break off the engagement, she didn't think so. Not to mention that the reason for getting married in the first place was not because of the Yu family, but because she knew a little about the mother and daughter Liu and Yu Yanling.

This girl is a good child. Mother and daughter have no status in the Yu family. On the contrary, Yu Yanhe, who has lost her mother, is spoiled, has no sense of propriety, and does scandalous things to hurt her sisters.

The Pei family is not someone who just follows what others say.

only……

When Mrs. Pei heard that the second brother hadn't come back yet, she became even more angry. She put down the tea cup in her hand with a bang and said in a deep voice: "What on earth is that brat like the second brother doing?! Wait for him to come home and kill him quickly."

Call me!"

Mammy quickly coaxed: "Yes, madam, calm down, the second young master must have something serious to do, don't be anxious."

"What serious business can make him leave for three or four days? It's such a critical time!" Mrs. Pei said angrily: "He is about to get married now. He must not stay away from home all day like before, and he doesn't know where to go.

I’m coaxing my fiancée, the appointment will be officially made soon…”

While they were talking, a maid came over and reported: "Madam! The second young master is back, and he has brought back a pair of wild geese!"

Mrs. Pei: "?!"

The anger in her mind disappeared instantly, and she stood up in surprise: "What did you say he brought back?"

The maid was startled and took two steps back: "... I brought back a pair of wild geese. They are still alive. Madam, please come over."

Mrs. Pei immediately walked out angrily, her eyes full of tenderness.

Bad boy.

It turns out that the reason why I have been missing for so many days is to chase the wild geese!

In ancient times, it was better to hire wild geese, but wild geese are not so easy to catch, especially dead wild geese, which is unlucky, so gradually, few people do this.

Everyone forgot about this custom. Unexpectedly, her son got it and even got a pair of live ones!

Mrs. Pei came to the front hall with great joy, and she saw a pair of live geese, their legs tied with ropes, lying on the ground. Two men were trying to feed them, but for some reason, the geese refused to eat.

, looking like he was about to go on a hunger strike.

Mrs. Pei felt extremely distressed when she saw it: "Why is it like this? How many days can it last?"

That gaze never fell on Pei Xiuli.

A trace of helplessness flashed across the face of the young man in black who was tired of the journey, and he said seriously: "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tomorrow. The first wild goose was caught two days ago. This one was caught by me while I was trying to save it.

He was injured a little and hasn't eaten yet. My son is thinking that something like this happened to the Yu family, so why not go today? Mom, you should have prepared all the betrothal gifts, right?"

His mother always likes to prepare for a rainy day, and all the things needed for the wedding are arranged in advance without any surprise.

Mrs. Pei was a little hesitant, but when she saw the wild goose, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, it's just today. Fortunately it's not too late. Let's go quickly and take the wild goose with us. People will understand."

Pei Xiu nodded politely and ordered someone to hold the wild goose. Mrs. Pei quickly called for people to carry the betrothal gift, and she was very happy.

*

The Pei family's appointment was agreed upon before.

But when the Yu family saw someone coming to their door, they were surprised.

In the past two days, the Pei family only had a few gifts from Mrs. Pei. They were really worried that the other party might just want to stabilize them and break off the engagement after this sensitive period.

I didn’t expect that someone would come to hire me right now!

A pair of live geese finally arrived!

No wonder the second son of the Pei family has been missing these days.

When the Yu family saw the live goose and listened to Mrs. Pei explaining why her son hadn't appeared in the past few days, they felt surprised and happy.

Naturally, this incident spread quickly throughout the entire Yu Mansion just like Xie Cheng's previous marriage proposal.

Mrs. Liu, who was still waiting for the doctor, laughed out loud in front of the old lady. Seeing the crooked-mouthed old lady staring with anger, she just pretended that she couldn't see her, smiled and asked her two younger siblings to look after her.

Go back and change your clothes, and happily welcome your future in-laws.

When Yu Yanhe, who was embroidering the wedding dress in the yard, heard the news, her embroidery needle pricked her fingertips directly. Pain and blood came together. She looked at the maid who brought the news in astonishment, her brain was blurred and she couldn't believe it:

"The Pei family really came to propose marriage?"

The maid shrank her neck. She was just a third-class maid in the yard. When she heard the news outside, she ran back excitedly to share it with her little sisters. The Pei family was really upright, and these things happened to the Yu family.

Come here to hire him, he is indeed the God of War in everyone’s hearts.

Unexpectedly, he was overheard by Yu Yanhe, who directly summoned him for questioning.

I had known for a long time that the eldest young lady and the second young lady would not deal with each other, but I did not expect that she would react so violently and prick her finger directly. Knowing the current situation, the better the second young lady and the Pei family are, the better they can manage to restore a little bit of the Yu family's reputation, which is naturally a good thing.

When the little maid saw her staring at her with a somewhat scary look, she still nodded timidly, not daring to say anything more.

Yu Yanhe's face turned completely gloomy, and he pinched the blood on his fingertips: "Impossible. If the Pei family really doesn't mind, why has there been no movement at all in the past few days?"

The little maid lowered her head and rolled her eyes.

Where is there no movement? Someone even sent me a gift.

But she didn't dare to say this.

But Yu Yanhe simply ignored the matter. She looked at her personal maid Cuiyun and asked her to inquire about the specific situation.

Cuiyun hesitated for two seconds, then accepted the order and left.

The news had spread throughout the whole house, so she came back soon, looking a little scared, but under Yu Yanhe's fierce gaze, she still said honestly: "The Pei family has a very good attitude, and there are many betrothal gifts, which are piled up in front of the house."

Courtyard, and..."

She paused, not daring to speak directly.

Yu Yanhe said with a cold face: "Keep talking!"

Cuiyun's voice was a little softer: "Mrs. Pei said that Mr. Pei was not in the capital two days ago because he went to catch wild geese. He just happened to catch a pair and they were both alive, so he came over quickly to make an appointment."

"hiss--"

There was a small gasping sound in the room.

How rare a pair of live geese is!

You must know that for some people, it is great to have just one wild goose, let alone a pair of live geese.

But the sound of inhaling quickly disappeared, and the room was quiet, as if the only sound was the pounding of the heart. Yu Yanhe's eyes gradually turned red, showing grievance and resentment.

Why is Yu Yanling always so lucky?!

Hatred blinded all her senses. It wasn't until the maid screamed and came over to pull her hand away that Yu Yanhe came back to her senses. The palm of her hand was burning. She didn't know when she held the embroidery needle in her hand, and the tip of the needle penetrated

But she didn't notice it.

The blood was no longer just drop by drop, but overflowed like running water. The maids were so panicked that one wiped it, another took medicine, and some called the doctor. Only the client, with a white face, remained motionless, with his bright black eyes staring straight into the eyes.

He stared in the direction of Yu Yanling's yard, a little scary.

Cuiyun was busy running back and forth when she raised her eyes and accidentally met that gaze. Her back was so cold that she broke out in cold sweat. She quickly lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look again.

The young lady is getting more and more terrible, and she really needs to find a new way out for herself.

Otherwise, if I go to Xie's house, my life will be over.

*

The procedures such as accepting the gift and asking for good luck have been completed, and only the last step is left - welcoming the bride.

This brings us to the agreed wedding date, which is the first day of July.

But the matter has settled down completely.

Now that Yu Yanhe's previous marriage to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is gone, Yu Zhen is not insistent on letting Yu Yanling marry him, so there is no obstacle in this regard.

On the contrary, after everything was over, he took the initiative and said: "Xiu Li has been guarding the border before. The two children haven't gotten along much yet, so why not let them go out for a walk."

Mrs. Pei's smile became more sincere: "That's great."

Mrs. Liu also smiled and said, "I'll go and call the child over right now. My girl rarely goes out. Please take care of her."

Mrs. Pei was just about to tell her son to be filial to his mother-in-law, when she saw that her son had already handed over his hand and said respectfully: "Nephew, please don't worry, auntie, don't worry."

Mrs. Liu immediately smiled even more happily, and went to call Yu Yanling out personally and handed it to Pei Xiuli: "Go and play, as long as you come back before dark."

Looking at that look, Yu Yanling always felt weird.

But everyone else was like this too. Mrs. Pei even secretly gave her son a banknote, for fear that he didn't have any money and would have to ask a girl to pay the bill.

Wife sent him away.

The two walked out of Yu Mansion side by side. Not long after, they saw a woman at the door asking the boy to carry the cat out. She smiled softly and said, "I'll be back after a walk. Don't lose the cat."

The young man nodded sternly, happily hugged the cat and went out to have some fun.

Yu Yanling: "..."

Suddenly I thought about why her mother looked so weird.
Chapter completed!
