The President's Gossip Wife

396: The important wedding banquet, Pei Jincheng's heart sank, he bent down to pick up the magazines on the floor, "Don't let grandpa see it."

"I know." Shen Xuan nodded. Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, she knew that mood swings are a big taboo, so she tried her best to restrain herself. The first thing she thought of was luckily making a mosaic, "What conditions does the other party want? Didn't call me in advance .”

Pei Jincheng, "He wanted to wash the dishes of Jincheng Holdings, but I didn't agree."

"You knew it before?" It turned out that it was because of this that the photo was posted.

"I will deal with this matter as soon as possible." Pei Jincheng squeezed the magazine in his hand, "But in case there is another accident, Shen Xuan, I hope you can put the overall situation first and divorce the marriage first. At least the Pei family's reputation is still there."

Shen Xuan put her fist against her lips, opened her mouth and bit the back of her teeth, she didn't look at Pei Jincheng, but just looked at his shoe upper, "Can you stop pushing me so hard, let me think about it."

"Tomorrow, how about it?"

"it is good."

Touching her lower abdomen, stretching out her clenched fist, and stroking her temples with her fingers while taking a deep breath, Shen Xuan kept reminding herself to be emotionally stable, to be stable, but the emotion in her heart that slapped her nerves violently like waves made her tremble.

She is pregnant and he wants to kill her.

Her nude photos were released because he refused to engage in insider trading in the stock market.

He wanted a divorce to keep the reputation that the Pei family might lose.

Should she understand him?

Shen Xuan went out and out of the Wutong Garden. She felt that she should go out to see what the world is like. Now it is a mosaic photo. If no mosaic photo comes out in a few days, she probably He didn't even dare to leave the door, even dared not to leave Wutong Garden.

If her child grows up in the future, will someone take out her picture and say some ugly things on purpose?Will the child be sad?Will it be impossible to face the crowd?

A pregnant woman should eat and sleep, eat and sleep, and shouldn't think about so many things, but she still couldn't help thinking about a lot of things.

She also took vitamins this morning. She didn't dislike the blood swallow stewed by Mama Zhong. She ate all of them, as well as eggs and milk. She had a good appetite.While stroking her lower abdomen, she was thinking that the baby must be healthy. She was so tired during this time, but he still didn't make a fuss at all, and he didn't vomit excessively.

She had a dream last night. She dreamed that a room full of children called her mother and fed her ice cream. It tasted like cantaloupe, not greasy at all, and very fragrant. With ice cream froth on her mouth, she kissed her one by one. The children in the room had milk froth printed on each of their fleshy and tender faces.

She woke up listening to the innocent and childish laughter in the room, her mouth was on fire, and her throat was burning with smoke. She went downstairs to check the things in the refrigerator, and there was ice cream.

On the night of July, she was afraid that her grandpa would be reprimanded again if she found out, so she secretly took a cantaloupe ice cream and ran upstairs, closed the bedroom door, and licked it gently twice, not daring to eat too hastily. Ice cream will be bad, but don't eat it too fast, and you won't be cold.

She only licked six mouthfuls, then wrapped the ice cream again, went downstairs, put it in the refrigerator, and thought it was a pity to throw it away, it tasted so delicious.

If we go back again, it was during the first pregnancy, during the miscarriage, Pei Jincheng felt very uncomfortable. If the child stayed, now she would definitely have her husband by her side every night. When she was thirsty, she could instruct him to give it to her. She steals ice cream and instructs him to pour water for her.

But there is no such person around.

She was thinking, after a while, she must not have leg cramps, absolutely not!Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be too painful to cry out, and would be too painful to get out of bed.

It's very cold by the river, so cold that the air seeps into the skirt.

"Eldest young mistress, where are you going? Do you want a car?" A servant followed and asked.

Shen Xuan stopped, looked at the servant in a daze, shook her head and smiled bitterly, why is she doing this?Why feel sorry for yourself?Since she is the one who is going to give birth to a child, why should she feel sorry for herself?

Unknowingly, I came to Moxiangyuan.

Looking at the bold and powerful font on the door plaque, I really can't imagine that such a font would be written by a boy like Pei Jinxuan.

Shen Xuan stepped up and walked in.

Regardless of the fact that the whole house is built in Chinese style, Shen Xuan always feels that Moxiangyuan is the one that best suits this style.Whether it's a few lines of lowercase inscriptions on the doorposts, or a few orchids painted on the corners of the eaves, they are elegant and unique, intentional everywhere, but not redundant, with a strong sense of scholarly family status.

In the past two days, the third room has become more and more busy. The day after tomorrow, they will have a banquet and go to Haicheng to pick up the bride. Today, they have to sort out all the things and save them from being in a hurry.

All the gardens are bright red, which is the color needed for traditional family weddings. It is Western-style outside, and you can wear wedding dresses and suits, but you must change into Tang suits when you go back to the house. She knows this rule.

At that time, the red carpet will be spread all the way from the entrance to the upstairs. There will be no shortage of red silk and red lanterns. The day after tomorrow will definitely be very lively, but she is pregnant now and has not announced it. toss.

Many people are shouting "Big Young Mistress".

Shen Xuan nodded her head in response, entered the hall, everyone in the room was busy, she still found Pei Jinxuan at a glance.

"Jinxuan." Shen Xuan felt that at Pei's house, he really needed to get in touch with Pei Jinxuan more, it was quiet and clean, and could purify his soul.

When Pei Jinxuan saw Shen Xuan, he smiled, "Sister-in-law, come and sit down."

Jiang Lin has no objection to Shen Xuan. The last time I went to Wutong Garden to ask for an explanation, it was also led by the second housekeeper. She didn't think it mattered. Anyway, the big house is in charge, and it has nothing to do with the third house. The old man lived quite well there. She just needs to take care of her children, "I've been too busy these days, so I don't have time to go over and say hello to the old man, don't you mind."

Shen Xuan picked up the Double Happiness characters on the table, and Double Happiness was surrounded by a pair of dragons and phoenixes. The dragons and phoenixes were so lifelike that Shen Xuan was delighted to see them, "This word is so beautifully cut."

"I cut this." Jiang Lin picked up a stack of cut flowers from the table, "I also cut the double happiness characters when you and Jin Cheng got married. I cut that room for several days. Woolen cloth."

"Ah?" Shen Xuan opened her eyes wide, "Third Mom cut it?"

"Of course, I used to have a Chinese teacher in the north, but she knew how to cut this thing. She taught me. When Jin Cheng was young, he said that the flowers I cut were beautiful. That's when I got married. He was still young. Said that when he gets married, let me cut a big room of double happiness characters for him. I can’t take my word for it.” Every cell in Jiang Lin’s body was full of smiles, and carefully glued the back of the cut flowers, Then pass it to the next person.

Shen Xuan looked at these paper-cuts, and thought of the red candle night when she got married. There were window grilles on every window, and on the door, there were red ones. There were still red candles burning in the room, and the flames jumped Suddenly, the flowers holding the words seemed to be blooming bit by bit.

Shen Xuan frowned, "The third mother is really caring, she still remembers the promise made for so long."

Jiang Lin said with a smile, "Adults can't lie to children."

"When I have a child in the future, let the third mother cut the window grilles, okay?"

"Okay, I'm afraid you will dislike it. In another twenty years, how can those children like these things?"

Shen Xuan wrinkled her nose, and said in a false annoyance, "By then, these things will be very expensive."

"Okay, then I'll keep my scissors and continue cutting." After Jiang Lin finished speaking, she glanced at Pei Jinxuan who was arranging calligraphy and paintings, lowered her head again, and asked Shen Xuan deliberately, "Ah Xuan , you used to be from Haicheng, do you have a deep friendship with Feiyu?"

"We actually didn't like to play together before." Shen Xuan laughed at herself, "A lady like Feiyu can't play with a witch like me. I can't imitate the model of a wealthy lady, and I'm always jealous of her, she is really outstanding."

Jiang Lin laughed "Pu Chi" when she heard that, "You just make fun of your third mother."

"No, if you don't believe me, you can ask my brother next time when he comes. Seriously, Feiyu and Jinxuan are really a good match. Both of them like books and paintings. I think they can really be a husband and wife in the future."

The more Jiang Lin listened, the happier she was, she took Shen Xuan's hand and patted it, "Today's mouth is so sweet, Sanma will give you a big red envelope!"

"Then Ah Xuan has the cheek to accept it."

"You're not happy if you don't accept the third mother, Ah Xuan, you are busy at home, otherwise I really want you to come with us to pick up the bride, after all, you are also Haicheng's daughter-in-law."

Shen Xuan was troubled in her heart. In fact, she had already pushed this matter away because of her grandfather's excuses, but now that it was brought up at this time, she could only push it down, "Third Mom, it's not that I don't want to go, the main thing is that I want to take care of Grandpa."

Jiang Lin wasn't aggressive either, she immediately smiled kindly, "That's right, look at what San Ma said, the old man must take good care of him, he is the spiritual pillar of our family."

"Thank you, Third Mom, for your understanding."

Shen Xuan felt that someone was looking at her, and when she turned around, she saw Pei Jinxuan's sudden turning back, and she walked over, "Jinxuan, if you have any requests, you must tell my sister-in-law."

Jinxuan was a little shy, and looked at Shen Xuan and dodged slightly, "It's nothing, but I just heard my mother talking about it, and I thought by the way that there must be many things that I am not used to when I come to G City in Feiyu. My sister-in-law is from Haicheng. Let's play with her. Although we all like calligraphy and painting, we can't spend all day with these things. It will be boring. If she goes to Wutong Garden to play with her sister-in-law, if she finds it inconvenient, can you Come out to accompany her, I think she may miss her hometown very much when she just came here."

Shen Xuan was moved, how could she not understand the feeling of being married far away and homesick?Jinxuanhui is a good husband. He is so considerate before his wife gets married. Feiyu must be very happy. Shen Xuan nodded, "Okay."

.............

The day before Pei Jinxuan's wedding, Shen Xuan received another call from Pei Jincheng urging him to divorce.

She took a breath, "Jin Cheng, grandpa is not in good health now, he doesn't want us to divorce, you know that."

"I will take good care of grandpa."

"Jincheng, can we talk about this after Jinxuan's wedding? Tomorrow, everyone from the Shen family will come over. I told my brother what you said last time because we had a quarrel, and he doesn't need to intervene in our affairs. This time you wait until he leaves to talk about it, okay? I don't want the Shen family to worry about me when I'm almost 30 years old." Shen Xuan hung up the phone.

...

At Pei Jinxuan's wedding, Shen Xuan once again witnessed the demeanor of the No. [-] wealthy family in City G.

The July moon in City G is very early, and the team did not choose to travel during the peak period.

The abbot calculated a time for Pei Li, and it was Yin time, which was the fifth watch of the king's early dynasty in the past.

At five o'clock in the morning, there were no cars on the road yet, but the wedding car of the third bedroom of Pei's family had already become busy.

Binhai Boulevard has eight lanes, and more than 160 wedding cars are lined up in more than 20 rows. The dark and luxurious motorcade attracts the nearby residents to watch.

Someone vaguely saw the bride sitting in the car, but after the car drove away in unison, they couldn't catch up with her.

The members of the Pei family were all very busy on such a festive day, and Pei Jinrui's hotel arranged for guests to stay.But relatives from the Qin family, the Jiang family, and the Shen family who came to congratulate them all arranged in the Liushui Garden of Pei's house.

As soon as the old man of the Shen family arrived at Pei's house, he went to Wutong Garden to play chess with Pei Li. Once Qin Rongfang and old man Jiang arrived, they couldn't play chess at all.

Qin Rongfang held Lao Shen's arms, and Lao Jiang held Pei Li's arms. Although the two people holding arms were in-laws, they had fought for a lifetime. up!

The four old people didn't care how busy the people in the house were still working on the wedding of the two young people.

Finally, Lao Shen couldn't take it anymore, "Come on, I'll give it to you two!"

Qin Rongfang sat down on Lao Shen's stool and said, "Oh, forget it, I'll just stand aside and watch you get off."

When Pei Li saw this, he also stood up. Lao-Jiang quickly seized the opportunity and said to Pei Li while placing the chess pieces, "Old man, you can kill him to dampen his spirit."

Pei Li stepped aside, "It's okay, I've played several sets, and my back hurts from sitting."

Lao-Jiang said "Oh, then do some stretching exercises quickly. We people are not the same as their young people when we are old. Then I will help you kill two games first, and I will let you later."

Seeing the two in-laws and rivals playing chess together, Pei Li's mind was spinning very fast. It is probably the reason why Shen Xuan always plays cards with him recently. He always remembers things that he can't remember, so he writes them down like a card .

It was not just Jiang and Qin who were not good at chess. Slowly, Pei Shen and Pei, who were standing and watching chess, became poor in chess. In the end, Uncle Sheng couldn't stand it anymore and ran to find another pair of chess players. Chess came and set it.

Busy outside the Wutong Garden, under the shade of the plane trees in the backyard of the Wutong Garden, chess is also desperately fighting!

Shen Xuan entered Wutong Garden, a little anxious, but her tone was relaxed, "Ancestors, go to the lobby of the main house to have a meeting. There are many guests. After all, you are the head of the family. What if you are not here?" Xuan's face always needs to be supported by others."

Pei Li raised his finger and pointed at Qin Rongfang, but his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and he hit the chessboard with a "slap", "Cross the river!" After finishing his drink, he answered Shen Xuan without raising his head, "That one is the one of the family." Master, the head of the Pei family is Jin Cheng, so it has nothing to do with me."

Unexpectedly, Qin Rongfang also didn't raise his head, "In the Qin family, I don't care about things. Now the person who is in charge of things is right and wrong, he will make Fei Yu look bad, so I won't go, and when I visit my parents, I'll go again, hasn't it started yet?"

In Shen Xuan Fu's forehead, there are people who cure Internet addiction, but there is no cure for chess addiction?She has no way to instruct the elders to do something, they are really unwilling to move, even if they are so old, it is rare to be happy.

Shen Xuan was going to help, but Pei Li pointed at Uncle Sheng, "Ah Sheng, please keep an eye on A Xuan, she is not allowed to run around to greet people today, the third room is under the supervision of elders, and the mistress It's not my mother, why bother with so many things, rest well, by the way, Ah Xuan, you call A Kai and ask him to come over and chat with you, and don't say hello to anyone else."

Pei Li gave instructions while playing chess, Shen Xuan didn't even see his expression, but could only hear the seriousness of the old man's words, he must have considered that he was pregnant and couldn't work hard.

"Try if you don't listen to me, it doesn't matter if Lao Shen is here or not, if you don't listen to me, I will reprimand you!" Pei Li added.

When Mr. Shen heard it, he didn't care whether it was right or wrong, "You must listen to your grandfather's words."

.........

Snowball squatted on the stairs on the second floor, flicking his tail from time to time.

The door of the living room on the second floor was closed. Shen Kai took the sealed bottle in Shen Xuan's hand, looked at the thermometer inside, "Found it in the old man's pillow?"

"Ah."

"So you brought the old man to Wutong Garden?"

Shen Xuan let out a trembling breath, and explained Pei Li's symptoms once, "Grandpa's memory is very unclear now, and he has high blood pressure now, telling him will make him overly excited. What the hell, after getting sick from anger, he can't remember what I told him, isn't it for nothing?"

Shen Kai walked to the window, took out the bottle cork, took out the thermometer by the way, shook the loose probe, quickly put the thermometer back into the bottle, re-corked the bottle, and put the bottle on the window sill, "You don't It’s right to tell the old man, look at our grandfather last time, because of a sudden stimulation, he had a heart attack, and sometimes the elderly can’t afford it.”

Shen Xuan said "um", "I didn't want to tell you before, thinking I could find out by myself, but I have brought my grandfather into Wutong Garden for so long, and nothing unusual happened, so I can only ask you to help me find out." I'll figure it out."

"Why didn't you discuss it with Jin Cheng?" Shen Kai's eyes were deep, staring at Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan didn't dodge either, looking calm and sincere, "Brother, we've been in a cold war for a while, and I'll make my own decisions about some things and make him angry, and it will be fine after a while. Just leave me alone and his affairs, you can analyze it for me. Take a moment. Is there any clue?"

Shen Kai said long ago that no matter Shen Xuan, if he asked the other party at this time, he would keep his promise and not ask, "Xiao Wu, have you ever doubted Uncle Sheng?"

Shen Xuan pointed to the bottle under Shen Kai's fingertips, "The first person I suspect is Uncle Sheng."

"Why exclude?"

Shen Xuan turned back and leaned against the edge of the window sill, "Maybe it's because of my emotions. He somewhat guessed why all Qinyuan moved here, and Qinyuan's old servants were not brought here. It was he who proposed it. If it is really Uncle Sheng, I don't think he will give up the opportunity to frame other people, so that once he lives in Wutong Garden, he will have no chance."

"Then you people from Wutongyuan, can you trust it?"

"I can trust it!"

"Why?"

"They have been with me for more than four years."

"The uncle Sheng has been with the old man for decades, why do you doubt?"

Shen Xuan couldn't answer the rhetorical question, she was a little anxious, "Shen Kai!"

"Xiao Wu, I don't think anyone can trust the old man except Xueqiu for something like this happened, but you are not wrong. If it is the birth uncle, he will not give up the chance to set the blame on him." Shen Kai's hand turned Looking at the bottle, "The probe of the thermometer is loose, but it's not obvious, which means that the poisoner didn't want to cause the old man to have an accident immediately. There are two possibilities."

Shen Kai held up an index finger in front of Shen Xuan, "First: This man is old and slippery, very strategic, and uses a very chronic disease to confuse the public, when any of us find that the old man doesn't remember things well When he died, he would only think that he probably had dementia, and would not consider going elsewhere."

Shen Xuan nodded with a "huh".

Shen Kai made a comparison of "two", "Second: This person may be thinking about old feelings, he just wants to make the old man blurred, and he doesn't want the old man to become a disabled person who can't take care of himself, so the attack is light What is unusual in this house during this period of time?"

Shen Xuan felt very nervous and never relaxed. She never thought that she would not be able to relax when talking about these things to her brother: "After I got my grandfather to Wutong Garden, they only came to make a fuss together once, and usually come to say hello. There are a lot of people, I don't let them in, and I didn't find anything unusual."

Shen Kai: "You and I have seen the old man's shrewdness. The method of releasing mercury makes people lose their minds, so they just don't want the old man to know certain things. Only confused people will not interfere with other people's behavior. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

Shen Xuan: "You mean, it's very likely that this matter is not seeking family property?"

Shen Kai shook his head, "You keep telling me not to meddle in the affairs between you and Jincheng. I also thought about it. You can manage the relationship and marriage by yourself. If he doesn't make a statement, as long as you don't complain, As a brother-in-law, I shouldn’t care too much. Some things are like drinking water. I know how warm and cold I am. So I only pay attention to the affairs of City G occasionally. Don't you think it's far-fetched? The old man has only prestige in this family, but no real power. But there is one thing, the old man's prestige can completely affect real power, and this is the most important point!"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath, "Actually, I have always doubted Jinrui and Jinxuan before. The Pei family is a patriarchal society. I wonder if they will do it because they are dissatisfied with Grandpa's allocation?"

Shen Kai: "Xiao Wu, sometimes when you look at a person, you can't just look at his position, but also consider his character. Although I don't have much contact with Jinxuan, I can feel that Jinxuan is the last person in this family. A bound person, his temperament is so easygoing that it is impossible for Jincheng to do it. You can say that Jinxuan's world is small, but you can also say that his world is so big that he doesn't pay attention to anything. He values ​​family affection very much.

But Jinrui, he is very stable in his work, not as aggressive as Jincheng, and not as aggressive and fierce in investment as Jincheng.But because it was too stable, although his business was not as big and wide as Jincheng, it was not a failure.From these aspects alone, you can know that he is very cautious in his work and very careful in his calculations. If the old man's health is related to his family property, then this person can only be Jin Rui, not Jin Xuan. "

"But..." Shen Kai turned the subject slowly, holding the bottle, shaking it in front of Shen Xuan, smiling secretly, "Xiao Wu, Jinrui may seize the family property, but he will definitely not put this piece of mercury .”

"why?"

Shen Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "The old man is confused, what good is it for him? A confused person has no prestige. If he wants to bring down Jincheng, he must have an authoritative person standing by his side." Otherwise, the most authoritative person in this family is Jin Cheng."

Shen Xuan walked to the sofa and picked up the water glass on the tea table, took a big sip, then took Shen Kai's glass and handed it to him, "Before there was turmoil in Jincheng Holdings, all the elderly relatives at home came to the ancestral hall, Jin Cheng was asked to hand over the position of Patriarch to Jin Rui, but Jin Rui refused. And he immediately turned his back on the spot, what do you think?"

Shen Kai shrugged, "Either I really don't want to be it, or I want to be it but dare not reveal it at that time." He also felt thirsty, took a big sip of water from the cup, and then said, "That's why I Said, if it was for family property, Jin Rui couldn't have released this piece of mercury, otherwise he wished that the old man would wake up during that time, and Jin Cheng would be unable to eat it!"

Shen Xuan felt that her mind was a little congested, "Can you stay for a while, help me, I won't be able to sleep if I don't find this person out!"

"I won't stay for long, but you can always call me. The reason I don't take the initiative to find you is because I don't want to disturb you, but you can find me anytime."

Shen Xuan was a little disappointed, "Okay."

Shen Kai patted Shen Xuan on the shoulder, "Today's wedding banquet is very important. If you are more courageous, try to let the old man get in touch with people outside as much as possible. I think he is no different from a normal person. Take good care of him, don't Let him appear in a daze, I think as long as you grasp it well, no one will see that the old man is confused, and he himself is very careful. You must know that the smarter the old man is, the more afraid the poisoner will be. "

Shen Xuan raised it in her heart, let out a big breath, and even clenched the cup tightly, "I'll try."
