But Rongniang knew that her brother was studying in an academy, so he would definitely be able to go out and meet friends during the Lantern Festival.

She waited patiently until the eve of the Lantern Festival, gave all her savings to Pei Xuan, and begged him to go to Jingci Temple and bring the money to her aunt.

Later, she saved her monthly allowance and asked Pei Xuan to deliver it to her when he returned home for vacation.

A poor family can be rich on the road, and my aunt is out there, so she has more money on her side, which makes people feel more at ease.

Seeing Pei Xuan was a little angry, Rong Niang didn't dare to offend him and said quickly:

"How could I doubt my second brother's character!"

"I just want to know if my aunt is living well now, whether she has enough food and clothes, and whether anyone is bullying her? Has the things happening in our house implicated her?"

She pulled Pei Xuan's sleeve and looked at him pleadingly with her big black grape-like eyes:

"Second brother, can you tell me in detail about my aunt's recent situation? I haven't seen her for several months. I'm really worried about her!"

As he spoke, his voice already began to cry.

In the past, every time Pei Xuan came back, he would only say a few vague words about the matters of Jingci Temple. When she asked him in detail, he became impatient, so she did not dare to ask more.

But the uneasiness in my heart was growing.

Now that something happened in the Bo's Mansion, she really couldn't hold back any longer.

Pei Xuan was very upset.

His sister is really an annoying stumbling block and a burden!

He has no tact at all and only knows how to cause trouble for him!

Don’t you see how serious a crime their biological mother has committed?

That was poisoning the eldest son. It's lucky that he wasn't beaten to death. Going out is also a way to atone for his sins. He still wants to live a good life!

Is there such a cheap thing in the world?

If he goes to give her money at this time and gets discovered, won't his father and mother be dissatisfied with him?

Besides, with so much time spent going back and forth, he might as well spend it socializing with his classmates or studying at home, which would not be more beneficial than going to Jingci Temple?

If he wasn't worried that if he didn't take the money, this idiot would cause a bigger commotion and his father and mother would find out, he really wouldn't want to pay any attention to her.

"Don't worry, that place is very popular now. People in the nearby towns say that the people who practice Buddhism there live very well and can eat meat every day!" This time, Pei Xuan went to Cihang Temple and finally had something to say.

"Did you see her this time?"

Pei Xuan continued to make up lies:

"I didn't see anyone, but I asked the gatekeeper to pass your money in."

After getting this answer, Rong Niang finally felt a little relieved.

She couldn't help but pray to the gods and Buddhas in her heart. She didn't want her aunt to return home early.

Life is hard in the mansion now, and I'm confined and unable to leave. I'm afraid I'm not as well off as my aunt is living in Jingci Temple.

Pei Xuan was very angry after having his first meal back at the Bo's Mansion.

Pei Xuan was used to eating fine food, so his heart skipped a beat when the coarse grains were served.

These are things that only the untouchables eat, how can they be served on the table of a young master of a marquis's mansion!

However, he did not lose his temper rashly.

After asking the servants serving in the yard, I found out that now everyone in the mansion can only eat this, and no matter how old the master or the servant is, everyone's portion is the same.

These young masters were young and could still eat their fill, but the older servants and masters went hungry for every meal.

Even the whole grains I want are not enough.

Pei Xuanshi didn't dare to throw things away casually.

Otherwise, if the news got to his parents, they would probably think that he was willful and ignorant.

Pei Xuan's heart went cold as he swallowed the coarse grains that irritated his throat with difficulty. He was extremely worried that he would be confined in the Bo's mansion and live like this for the rest of his life.

He became more and more annoyed at his biological mother's incompetence.

If she had had some influence in Cihang Temple, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Apart from anything else, there was definitely freedom, and it was said that people could eat meat every day at Cihang Temple, which was much better than the food we have today.

It's really useless!

How could he be so unlucky to be born into such a person's belly!
