The Male Wife

The old lady looked at Pei Cheng with a half-smile, and said, "Could it be that what I said is wrong?

Pei Cheng pursed his lips, met the eyes of the old lady, and said with a smile: "Of course the old lady is right. It's just that I think this person should know the rules besides self-knowledge."

The old lady frowned, and before she had time to question what Pei Cheng was alluding to, she heard the sound of walking outside the house.

Jiang Linzhi's servant walked in, bowed his waist, and said respectfully, "Old lady."

The old lady recognized him, and said coldly, "Why did Rinzhi call you here?"

"Second Master called Master Wang, who was tailoring clothes, early this morning to cut some new clothes for Second Young Madam and Young Master Yan Zhi. Second Master and Master Wang waited in the yard for a while, so they specially sent slaves to find Second Young Master Madame and Master Yan know."

Pei Cheng pursed his lips, Jiang Linzhi did this on purpose?

The old lady sneered, "Looks like I'm really old. It's really not big or small to actually come to my yard to ask for someone. Anyway, you go, I'm going to take a break."

After finishing speaking, the old lady made a gesture to lie down and rest, making it clear that she did not want to see Pei Cheng.

After Pei Cheng said a few farewell words perfunctorily, he immediately pulled Jiang Yanzhi away.

After the three of them left, the old lady lying on the couch said softly, "It is said that rabbits will sting people when they are in a hurry. Tell me, this sick rabbit that has been nesting in the hole has been moved by its own son, will it be the same?" Can you jump out and bite someone?"

There was silence in the room, and the two maids who were sewing with their heads down did not dare to make any noise.

This old lady's temper can be good and sometimes bad, who knows if a word she said casually will make the old lady unhappy.

The old lady also expected the two people to respond, thinking about things to herself, her eyes full of deep thought.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, Pei Cheng thought about it, Jiang Yanzhi put it down, and said, "Go and measure the size first, and I will find you later." He himself walked towards Jiang Linzhi's yard.

Jiang Yan reluctantly followed the servants to measure the size, turning around every step, his eyes full of reluctance.

Buckle.

After getting the permission from the inside of the house, Pei Cheng stretched out his hand and opened the door, walked in, and said, "Second Master."

Standing by the table, Jiang Linzhi was picking up his pen to practice calligraphy, and said without raising his head when he heard the words: "Since it's all right, go and rest, I don't need you here."

Pei Cheng did not leave as promised, he signaled the two maids standing inside the room to go out first with his eyes.

The two maids looked at each other hesitantly, who dared not leave at will, and was a little anxious for a while.

Maybe he noticed something, Jiang Linzhi frowned, and said, "Everyone go out."

The two maids breathed a sigh of relief and walked out lightly.

After he and Jiang Linzhi were the only ones left in the room, Pei Cheng reflexively took a step forward, hesitated for a moment, then took another half step back and Jiang Linzhi said, "What's the matter?"

Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi's eyes met in mid-air, the former froze for a moment, then pretended nothing happened, and said, "Second Lord probably knows why I'm coming back."

The corner of Jiang Linzhi's mouth hooked, but this action did not make Pei Cheng feel relaxed, but made him more nervous.

"Oh?" Jiang Linzhi looked at him with a half-smile, "Could it be that you came back with a secret?"

Pei Cheng lowered his eyes, he didn't intend to have a showdown with Jiang Linzhi so early, but after being made things difficult by the old lady for a long time, Pei Cheng realized that he needed an ally.

I just don't know if Jiang Linzhi is reliable or not.

"It's not a secret." Pei Cheng made up his mind, he looked up at Jiang Linzhi, "Since I was kicked out of the main house five years ago, the second master should have noticed my father's purpose. "

"Continue." Jiang Linzhi put down the pen holder, wiped the gap between his fingers with a towel, his deep eyes were full of indifference.

Pei Cheng originally planned to throw out some good rhetoric, but after seeing the impatience flashing across Jiang Linzhi's face, he immediately said bluntly: "I don't want to work for the Pei family anymore."

Jiang Linzhi finally became interested, "Are you going to betray the Pei family?"

Pei Cheng smiled wryly, "It's not a betrayal. It's just that I suddenly realized that everything about the Pei family should have nothing to do with me since I married into the Jiang family."

Jiang Linzhi didn't make a clear statement. After waiting for a while, when Pei Cheng started to feel uneasy, Jiang Linzhi suddenly said: "But you should tell your elder brother these words."

Jiang Linzhi's implication was that he wanted to reject Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng raised his eyebrows, understanding the hidden meaning behind Jiang Linzhi's words, but he didn't want to give up his friendship with Jiang Linzhi so easily, "But he is not my husband."

Jiang Linzhi lowered his eyes to hide the coldness that flashed in his eyes, "That's a good reason."

But having said that, Jiang Linzhi still didn't make a clear statement. He seemed like a patient who hadn't been in contact with the outside world for a long time, and his whole body subconsciously exuded a cold and alienated atmosphere.

Jiang Linzhi like this gave people the only feeling that he was about to die.

Pei Cheng was not sure whether his choice was right or wrong, but judging from the clear relationship between the three Jiang family brothers, he would definitely have a better result if he chose Jiang Linzhi than Uncle Jiang or Third Master Jiang.

The house was quiet for a long time.

It wasn't until Jiang Linzhi stood up, walked slowly in front of Pei Cheng, and then took off his cloak and put it on Pei Cheng's shoulders, that the original silence was broken.

Pei Cheng stood there in a daze, without the slightest resistance.

It wasn't until the cold breath that had been tightly wrapping him was removed that Pei Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he had come back to life.

Pei Cheng never knew that when Jiang Linzhi approached him, he would be so scared that he couldn't breathe.

Jiang Linzhi folded his hands behind his back and looked down at Pei Cheng, "Now that you're back in the main house, you can live a good life in the future, don't think about what you have. As for your natal family, you still have to get in touch, don't be alienated Relationships are."

Pei Cheng raised his head, but found that he could only see Jiang Linzhi's chin.

He never knew that Jiang Linzhi was so much taller than him.So much so that he had to look up to see Jiang Linzhi's expression.

Jiang Linzhi lowered his eyes, and glanced coldly at Pei Cheng's face, "Is there anything else?"

Pei Cheng suppressed the strangeness in his heart, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Pei Cheng knew that Jiang Linzhi had been testing him.It can even be said that the other party never believed him.

Pei Cheng walked to the gate of the courtyard, stopped in his footsteps, looked helplessly at Jiang Yanzhi who was squatting in front of him, with his head up, looking at him without blinking, his heart softened, and he squatted down too, with a gentle tone: "Why don't you wait for me in the house."

Jiang Yanzhi didn't speak, he stretched out his hands, and obediently slipped into Pei Cheng's arms.

However, in the next second, Jiang Yanzhi's body froze, he poked his head out, stared at Pei Cheng's cloak on his shoulders, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Pei Cheng looked at the little guy puzzled, but the latter quickly fell into his arms again, so Pei Cheng didn't take this matter to heart.

Jiang Yanzhi tightly held Pei Cheng's clothes with both hands, his thin yellow face was buried in Pei Cheng's chest, his eyes were full of grievances.at the same time.

Qiu Yi, who was guarding not far away, curled his lips, sneered, twisted his back and returned to his life.
