The Male Wife

Pei Cheng immediately withdrew from Third Master Jiang's arms. He coughed twice and took the lead to break the embarrassment, saying, "Master...Master Jiang, why come back now when you have time?"

It stands to reason that Jiang Sanye has to deal with official documents in the prefect's yamen every day, and there are many cases, so Jiang Sanye usually stays in the yamen during the day and will not go back to Jiang's house easily.

Third Master Jiang took a step back, his expression hard to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Come back and get something. Why is Second Sister-in-law here alone?"

Pei Cheng didn't say his real purpose, he turned his head and looked at the dead flowers and branches in the yard in front of him, and said something plausible, "It's winter, and there are no flowers."

"It will bloom again in the spring of next year." Jiang Sanye was not prepared, and continued casually.

Pei Cheng's expression changed, he looked sideways, and said, "Will it continue to bloom in the next spring?"

Jiang Sanye didn't know another level of temptation hidden in Pei Cheng's words, he laughed and said: "The flowers in the front yard were all moved in a few years ago, and they will bloom in these years. If there is nothing special, they should be returned next year." It will bloom."

"Where did you move it back?" Pei Cheng asked tentatively.

Jiang Sanye was not on guard, maybe he never thought that this was supposed to be a day of casual chatting, and it would be proof that Pei Cheng confirmed another thing, he said: "This is three years ago, the eldest brother brought it back from the imperial capital on purpose. Yes. This flower grows well and quickly, and it happens that a lot of them are brought back, so I sent some to every yard."

Speaking of this, Jiang Sanye seemed to have remembered something, and continued with a smile: "I remember the East Court also has it. Why, the second sister-in-law is interested in this flower?"

Pei Cheng said, "Well, I think...it's very special."

Jiang Sanye did not doubt that he was there, "If you like it, just ask the servants to move a few plants back."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Sanye didn't wait for Pei Cheng's answer, he hurriedly said: "There are still things waiting for the yamen, so let's not talk about it." After finishing speaking, Jiang Sanye quickly walked across the front yard, towards the door direction.

Pei Cheng glanced at the back of Third Master Jiang, pursed his lips, and returned to the east courtyard thoughtfully.

Something is quietly changing in Pei Cheng's mind.

That night, after Pei Cheng finished his meal, he couldn't wait to run to Jiang Linzhi's yard, but it was a pity that he was in vain.

Pei Cheng was a little surprised.

The servant hurriedly explained: "Second Master just left the house, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. Is there something urgent for Madam? If there is no urgent matter, then wait a little longer."

Pei Cheng couldn't hide his disappointment, but he didn't say much. He sat on the chair, watched the servant pour him a cup of hot tea, and then said, "Where did Second Master go?"

"It seems that people from Xiyuan came to look for it." Seeing Pei Cheng's unsightly expression, the servant thought he was worried about Jiang Linzhi's illness, and explained, "Second Lord went there after taking medicine, madam, don't worry."

Pei Cheng thought to himself that you don't know my worry, but he echoed on his face: "Second Master is still sick, and the wind is blowing again at night, if there is any urgent matter, you shouldn't rush there now."

The servant said courteously: "Madam, don't worry. The second master brought a cloak when he went out, so he won't be cold."

Pei Cheng waved his hand, signaling the servant to stop talking, "Go out and wait, I'll wait for the second master here."

The servant stooped and exited.

After closing the door, Pei Cheng stood up, walked to the bookshelf, looked around with his hands behind his back, and finally locked his eyes on the green book cover on the third layer near his left hand, he stretched out his hand, and took out the book .

Flipping through it casually, Pei Cheng found that the contents of this set of books were somewhat obscure and difficult to understand. He frowned and put the books back casually, feeling a little depressed for no reason.

Although he has been reading books all these years, the books he read are basically scripts, and the content inside is also easy to understand.He didn't think there was anything in the past, but now after seeing the books Jiang Linzhi usually reads, he suddenly felt an unspeakable irritability. "Squeak!" The door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and there was a pause in footsteps.

Jiang Linzhi took off the cloak that was draped over his shoulders, then sat on the chair, watched Pei Cheng drink half of the tea, and said indifferently: "Madam, why are you free?"

Pei Cheng walked back, looked down at Jiang Linzhi, but was ignored, he sat down embarrassingly, looked at Jiang Linzhi, and said, "I have nothing to do, let's take a look."

"Oh?" Jiang Linzhi seemed to be in disbelief, blowing his eyes, playing with the tea cups in the tray, with a smile on his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all, he said casually: "Just now the old lady told me to go to the West Yuan lay down, Madam, do you know why?"

Pei Cheng was speechless, wondering why Jiang Linzhi became so angry, and said, "I don't know. Could something have happened?"

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng fixedly, as if he wanted to see something from Pei Cheng's face, "It's not an accident, it's just that I'm about to make a fool of myself."

Pei Cheng has a big temper today, and before he heard a few words about Jiang Linzhi's yin and yang, he didn't want to hear any more, so he said with a sullen face, "Oh."

Jiang Linzhi's Pei Cheng, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, said: "The old lady asked me to take care of the backyard. Ma'am, do you know what that means?" Pei Cheng sensitively heard something was wrong, frowned, and said: "The backyard? I?"

What did he do?

Jiang Linzhi said lightly: "Well. What did you say to the third child in the front yard at noon today?"

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi blankly, what did he and Jiang Sanye say in the front yard today?

In the next second, Pei Cheng immediately realized what he meant, and Pei Cheng said coldly: "Could it be that the second master suspects that I have an affair with the third master?"

The corner of Jiang Linzhi's mouth curled up, "That's not what I said."

Pei Cheng stood up quickly, turned around, forced himself to calm down, took several deep breaths, and then said, "But the second master still doubts me."

Jiang Linzhi poured a cup of tea, took a sip, then took the teacup, wiped it with his fingertips, and without knowing what he was thinking, he raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.

"I said, it's not that I doubt you." Jiang Linzhi said to himself, "The old lady in Xiyuan knew about it. Pei Cheng, you understand what I mean."

Pei Cheng said stiffly, "I don't understand."

There was silence in the house.

For a long time, Jiang Linzhi sighed slightly, as if he was compromising, but he was more helpless, "Pei Cheng, this is Jiang's family. It doesn't matter if you do some things, as long as the people in Xiyuan agree, then you are Done."

Pei Cheng sat on the chair in frustration, his mood fell to the bottom, he was still thinking about why the good old lady would ask Jiang Linzhi to go to Xiyuan, but now...

Jiang Linzhi said: "Now the old lady believes that it is you... From now on, the East Court will not be very peaceful for a period of time."

Pei Cheng felt that he had caused trouble, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start, so he could only sit on the chair with a straight face and said nothing.

Jiang Linzhi continued: "People from Pei's family came to look for me today, clean up tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow."

"But it's my father's birthday in three days." Pei Cheng frowned, and asked reflexively.

Jiang Linzhi: "The Pei family means that we should arrive one day earlier."

"You agreed?" Pei Cheng was stunned for a while before he realized, "Why didn't you refuse?"

"Pei Cheng, you will never be completely divorced from the Pei family." Jiang Linzhi squinted at Pei Cheng, and only said this.Pei Cheng nodded, not sure if he listened or not, but the remorse on his face kept deepening.

Because he was thinking that Qichen would go to Pei's house the day after tomorrow, Pei Cheng didn't realize that something was wrong with Jiang Linzhi tonight-it was absolutely impossible for Jiang Linzhi to talk so much in the past.

Jiang Linzhi got up and said, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi's back and wanted to say something, but in the end he said dryly: "Yes. Second Master, I'm going down first."

Jiang Linzhi walked towards the inner room without looking back.

After Pei Cheng left, not long after, Dong Lai walked in with a chill in his body.

Dong Lai walked into the inner room, knelt on the ground to salute, and said, "Second Master, the new kid in the East Yard has been dealt with."

"I asked you to check, did you find out?" Jiang Linzhi's voice was full of coldness.

Dong Lai hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Yes."

After a pause, Donglai continued: "There is no one in the front yard during the day, so I can't find out what the madam said to the third master."

"Bump" the scroll and threw it on the ground heavily.

Jiang Linzhi said coldly: "Since no one saw what they were talking about and what they were doing, how could Xiyuan know?"

Donglai panicked for a moment, fearing that Jiang Linzhi would blame him, he hurriedly remedied, "I don't know the details, but when the third master and his wife were in the front yard, no one really saw them."

After squatting down for a while, Donglai continued: "Qiuyi just happened to pass by the front yard today, and saw the third master and his wife coming out one after another."

"I didn't see anything, how dare she talk nonsense in front of the old lady." Jiang Linzhi lowered his eyes, suppressing the storm in his eyes.

The calm before the storm is always scary.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Donglai's back, and he said, "Qiuyi told the old lady what the servant specially 'told' to her two days ago, and today the lady and the third master met again in the front yard, so... ..."

Don't talk about the next words, Jiang Linzhi probably knows what it means.

"Isn't Qiuyi one of Hu Xiayun's people? How could he go over Hu Xiayun and report to the old lady?" Jiang Linzhi frowned.

Donglai explained in a low voice: "Qiuyi has not been favored in Xiyuan recently, presumably, this is why she passed Hu Xiayun to report to the old lady."

Jiang Linzhi: "Well, let's go down."

Dong Lai got up from the ground and carefully left the inner room.

Xiyuan.

Suddenly, there was a piercing sound of broken teacups in Hu Xiayun's yard.

"Drag me down, clumsy!" Hu Xiayun looked coldly at the servant who was being dragged down, and the anger between his brows became more and more serious.

Chunyi swallowed her saliva, and took the initiative to come up, comforting: "Madam, don't be angry with others, be careful of your bones." Hu Xiayun's breath was barely steady, but when she thought of Qiuyi's actions today, she suddenly became angry. His face turned black, "Qiuyi, that bitch, dare to do everything you want! See if I don't want her to look good in the future!"

The smile on Chunyi's face deepened, she cleared her throat, and continued to appease Hu Xiayun.
