"Aunt Pei was originally the daughter of the old lady's cousin. The old lady's family had long been ruined. The old lady's cousin married into an ordinary family in Shandong and gave birth to Aunt Pei.
Later, Aunt Pei's mother passed away, and she got a stepmother, but life became more and more sad day by day. The stepmother wanted to sell Aunt Pei, so Aunt Pei had the courage to run out in the middle of the night, her face smeared completely black.
, went to the capital with a small package and found our old lady."
Qiao Yuyan was stunned by Pinlan's words. In her previous life, she had no idea about Aunt Pei's origins. She only thought she was from an ordinary family. Who would have thought that she was the old lady's niece.
I never expected that Aunt Pei would dare to do such a thing when she looked so weak!
"This...the old lady is here to stay?"
"How can that be possible?" Pinlan waved her hand, "Although we old ladies feel sorry for this young cousin, she is a girl from that family, so how can there be any reason to cheat on someone?
So I sent people to Aunt Pei's hometown overnight, hoping to have a good discussion and let Aunt Pei live in our house and give her some money. Anyway, their family was going to sell their daughter.
This can prevent Aunt Pei from becoming a slave, and the old lady can go back and find a similar family to marry her."
Qiao Yuyan nodded slowly, feeling that the old lady's behavior was extremely benevolent. After all, she was a nephew and daughter separated by two floors. However, she was afraid that the Pei family would fall on her.
Pinlan smiled and shook her head when she heard this, "Although our family is not as powerful and luxurious as those, we are still rich. The old lady gave five hundred taels to their family, and also brought the county government documents.
, I plan to ask their family to sign in person, so as not to worry about Miss Ciao and come to the door to cause trouble in the future."
"Intend?"
"Isn't it impossible?" Pinlan smiled, with a hint of confusion on her plain face, "Only when our family sent people there did we know that something happened in their place. It rained for days and soaked the mountain.
It was rotten, and it collapsed at night. Aunt Pei’s family lived at the foot of the mountain, and the whole family was buried inside. It was already four days before they were dug out.”
"So, Aunt Pei has no biological family?"
"Well," Pinlan nodded again, "it's because Aunt Pei was so lucky that she just escaped. On the one hand, the old lady felt sorry for her that she was now helpless. On the other hand, she saw her sadness and felt that she was a filial and gentle person, so she called her
I have made up my mind to choose a good family for her. With our family background, it is still possible to choose a poor family member as my wife. The old lady has even prepared a dowry and a thousand taels of silver in the box.
There are also dozens of acres of fertile farmland and two shops."
This was only two thousand taels of silver. Qiao Yuyan was a little surprised to see that the old lady looked cold and indifferent to everyone, but she was so attentive to a niece whose blood relationship was already very weak.
"Our old lady is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person," Pinlan seemed to understand Qiao Yuyan's inner thoughts and whispered to the side, then sighed, "It's a pity that the old lady has wasted all her efforts.
"
This is probably the reason why Aunt Pei did not get married and became Qiao Weisheng's aunt.
Pinlan looked up and saw that Grandma Wang and Qixi over there were already sitting at the door doing needlework with a very eye-catching look. She nodded slightly and then continued: "My wife was pregnant at that time, and the old lady was celebrating her birthday at home.
My wife had already gone back to the Furong Pavilion to rest, and the master drank two more glasses of wine. The old lady was worried that the smell of alcohol in his body would affect his wife's rest, so she asked him to rest in Ninghe Hall."
"Then something happened?" Qiao Yuyan immediately guessed what was going on.
Pinlan nodded, "It happened that my wife came to see the master the next day. When I got to the corridor, I heard something moving in Aunt Pei's room. Then the master came out disheveled. Looking inside, I saw Aunt Pei holding the scissors and trying to commit suicide. She was snatched away.
Come down."
Qiao Yuyan was stunned and speechless on the spot. Pinlan seemed to have expected her reaction, "Later, the old lady made the decision and asked Aunt Pei to be my wife's concubine, and she also asked Aunt Pei to sign a deed of sale."
"ah?"
"Girl, you don't know, our family has a family motto that a man in the family can only take a concubine when he is forty and has no children. The old lady originally gave Aunt Pei two ways to choose. She can cover up the matter and find another one.
He didn't mind her marriage, so he doubled the dowry and asked her if she was willing, but Aunt Pei only said she wanted to die.
There was no other way, and the old lady was also annoyed, so she said that Aunt Pei could not be a good concubine, so she could only sell herself to the house and become a maid. In this way, Aunt Pei kowtowed to the old lady and his wife.
Later, it was discovered that she was pregnant and gave birth to a second girl. It was my wife who made the decision and had the aunt."
Although she didn't show much emotion when she said these words, Qiao Yuyan could still feel the slight disdain for Aunt Pei in her tone.
Then I thought that she was the one who came out to the old lady, and I knew the old lady's attitude. Although I don't know whether Qiao Suisheng had sex after drinking, the old lady didn't like Aunt Pei from the bottom of her heart.
.
No wonder she didn't realize that Aunt Pei was somewhat related to the old lady.
This is why after Xu passed away, Pei Yayi was unable to straighten herself out. In the final analysis, she was still a slave.
Qiao Yuyan's Aunt Pei's choice is a bit incomprehensible. She leaves the good lady outside and becomes a maid in the uncle's house?
It can’t be said that she truly loves Qiao Weisheng!
"Then the relationship between my mother and Aunt Pei..."
Pinlan shook her head, "I don't know very well about this slave. Although I was born in the same family, I was still young at that time. These things were all told to me by the maid before the old lady. I am afraid that I am ignorant.
, verbal conflict.
I heard that Aunt Pei has always been very honest and dedicated to serving my wife. She never shows up on weekdays. When the second girl was born, it was as if she didn't exist in our house."
Qiao Yuyan knew that this was what the old lady told her through Pinlan's mouth, and she was also afraid that she would be blindfolded now that she was in charge.
Pinlan suddenly seemed to think of something, "Oh, by the way, she once saved my wife's life. It seems that from that time on, my wife slowly accepted her, and she became what she is today."
Qiao Yuyan had never heard of this. If Pei Yayi saved Mrs. Xu, it would make sense for Mrs. Xu to have a close relationship with her, but it was just that they were so close that even her husband could share it without any grudges, but it was a little unreasonable.
Already.
But she also knew that it was impossible for Mrs. Xu to tell her such a thing, so she didn't think of asking. For now, she still had to deal with the Dragon Boat Festival matters first.
Pinlan knew a lot about the affairs in the house, and she could get answers to many questions.
While drafting a gift list and looking up gifts from previous years, Qiao Yuyan suddenly spotted a familiar family.
"Is the Wen family related to ours?" Qiao Yuyan paused with her finger on the account book and asked Pinlan doubtfully.
Pinlan was remembering the etiquette that Qiao Yuyan just said. After hearing the words, she came over to take a look and said with a smile: "There is some relationship, but now the relationship has faded. We just move around according to the family's wishes during the three festivals of the year. The girl knows that Wen
