The Male Wife

Steward Pei was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, and looked at Pei Cheng pleadingly, for fear that he would really leave like this.

Pei Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly took the Jiang father and son out of the side hall and walked towards another path.

Steward Pei stood there and watched Pei Cheng's back eagerly. After the three of them disappeared at the corner of the corridor, he gritted his teeth and walked quickly into the side hall.

Father Pei entertained distinguished guests in the main hall, but mother Pei was waiting for her second son, second son-in-law, and grandson whom she had never seen since birth in the side hall.

But waiting left and right couldn't wait for anyone, Mother Pei couldn't help showing a bored look on her face, "After getting married, his heart will be wild, this person... still lacks discipline."

The maid didn't dare to intervene in this kind of matter, and carefully handed Mother Pei a cup of hot tea.

Mother Pei took a sip, and then put down the teacup. Seeing Butler Pei hurried in from the outside, she straightened her back and waited for Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi to come in.

In the end, there was only Butler Pei alone.

Mother Pei looked at Steward Pei with a dark face, she stood up uncontrollably, looked behind Steward Pei unwillingly, and said in astonishment, "Didn't you say you've arrived at the door of the house, where are you?"

Steward Pei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Ma'am, this... the second young master didn't want to enter the side hall, so he took the second young master and the young master back to his yard."

The expression on Mother Pei's face changed from shock at the beginning to a sneer at the end. She sneered disdainfully, "It's really the water thrown by the married people. Since they are so unwilling to enter the side hall, then leave them alone."

Butler Pei's face was full of embarrassment, "But if the master asks about it later, wouldn't it be..."

"They don't want to meet, what else can I do as a woman." Pei's mother lifted the hair from her ear, and said lightly: "After the master is done with his work, you can talk to him directly. Boss I'm coming back from the shop soon, I have to go to the kitchen and make him a bowl of soup myself."

Steward Pei watched Pei's mother leave the side hall expressionlessly, and then he sighed secretly. This Pei Cheng is not close to the Pei family. In the final analysis, the master and wife don't care about him. Who can be blamed?

To be honest, if you really want to say who caused Pei Cheng's suffering in the past, Steward Pei really can't tell.

The Pei family has always placed Pei Cheng, the so-called second young master, in an awkward position. Jiang Linzhi is very clear about this, but when he came to Pei's house in person today, he felt it personally. How bad is Pei Cheng's status?

Pei Cheng's yard is located in the back of the mountain, a very remote and quiet small courtyard, which is similar to Jiang's East Courtyard, but... the East Courtyard's yard is better than Pei's.

Jiang Linzhi sat on the chair, watching the servants clean up here and there quickly with a blank face, and Pei Cheng was a little embarrassed when he remained silent.

A few days ago, the Pei family had been sending people to Jiang's house to urge them to come back quickly, but when they came back, they found that Cheng Pei's yard hadn't been tidied up at all.

Pei Cheng walked to the window and looked indifferently at the servants who were scrambling to pull the weeds in the yard, completely desperate for the Pei family.

Steward Pei hurried over at this time. He saw the servants busy weeding in the courtyard, he paused, his expression could not hide his embarrassment, "Second, Second Young Master."

Pei Cheng looked down at Steward Pei condescendingly, and said indifferently: "I'm afraid this yard will become a deserted yard if I don't come back. Butler, fortunately this yard is next to the back mountain, otherwise if outsiders see it... ...The Pei family lost face in Huacheng."

Steward Pei licked the corner of his mouth, and said embarrassingly: "This, this is really the negligence of this old slave, please forgive me, Second Young Master."

"Hey, Second Young Master." The corner of Pei Cheng's mouth twitched, as if disdainful.

Butler Pei sneered and said, "Second Young Master, Master asked you to go to the main hall with Second Young Master to find him. He is waiting for you in the main hall."

Pei Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Well, let's go there now."

Butler Pei left worriedly. Before he left, he took a special look at the expression on Pei Cheng's face, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but in the end he could only give up.

Pei Cheng turned to look at Jiang Linzhi who was sitting still in the round chair, and said, "Second Lord, father is waiting for us in the main hall."

Jiang Linzhi nodded, put down the teacup, stood up, and walked straight towards Pei Cheng. Because of his height, when he stood with Pei Cheng, he had to lower his head to see Pei Cheng's face. expression.

Pei Cheng hadn't paid much attention to the height difference between Jiang Linzhi and himself before, so when Jiang Linzhi stood in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Yanzhi jumped down from the chair, followed step by step to Pei Cheng's side, then stretched out his hand, and firmly grasped the corner of Pei Cheng's clothes.

Pei Cheng touched Jiang Yanzhi's head with his hand, then looked up at Jiang Linzhi's side face, and said, "Second Lord really..."

Obviously, Pei Cheng was worried that Jiang Rinzhi would not want to see Father Pei.After all, several people were sent to the side hall for differential treatment, not to mention Jiang Linzhi, even Pei Cheng was not happy.

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng with a smile that was not a smile, "Let's go, don't keep your father-in-law waiting for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Linzhi lifted his foot and left.

Pei Cheng followed with a full heart.

main hall.

Father Pei, who was wearing a dark Chinese dress, was sitting on the main seat. I don't know if it was intentional. When Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi walked in from the outside, his attitude was not very good. , the eyes are strangely cold.

Pei Cheng has been staring at Father Pei since he entered the door. If counting from the previous life, he has not seen his father for almost ten years. Looking at Father Pei who has not changed from what he remembers, Pei Cheng's mood is inevitably confused for a while. .He was thinking, when the news of his complete death reached the Pei family in his last life, did his father and mother feel sorry for him for a moment?

Father Pei frowned, and quietly avoided Pei Cheng's sight. He was impatient and even disgusted with his son who couldn't put himself on the stage.

Pei Cheng took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and then said, "Father."

long time no see.

Jiang Linzhi clasped his hands and said, "Father-in-law.

Father Pei gave a faint "hmm", and then said: "Just now the housekeeper told me that your yard hasn't been tidied up yet? What's going on?"

Pei Cheng's eyes were full of indifference, "Father should understand better than me."

Father Pei's face turned cold after a swipe, "Pei Cheng, what do you mean? Could it be that I sent someone to make your yard look like that."

"Pei Cheng didn't think so." Pei Cheng covered up the impatient expression on his face, paused for a moment, and continued: "I haven't been back for five years, and the yard will become like that, and I can't blame anyone."

Father Pei held his breath, he was really scolding Pei Cheng now, not saying nothing.

"Sit down. What's the matter if you stand up." Father Pei's tone was not kind.

Pei Cheng took Jiang Yanzhi's hand and walked aside and sat down.

Jiang Yanzhi sat on the chair, lowered his head and said nothing.

Father Pei glanced at Jiang Yanzhi, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, he coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said, "This is Yanzhi, I guess. It's been so long since we haven't seen each other for so long. Time flies so fast."

Pei Cheng deliberately said: "I still remember the year when Yan Zhi was born, my father seemed to want to arrange the elder brother's marriage, so he didn't take a look at Yan Zhi."

Jiang Linzhi's eyes flickered, and he remembered that when Jiang Yanzhi was just born four years ago, he seemed to have just glanced at Jiang Yanzhi in a hurry, and then...it will be four years after we meet again.

Thinking of this, Jiang Linzhi suddenly felt regretful.

Father Pei's face was a little uneasy, "You gave birth safely back then, and it's been a long time since we heard the news. At that time, I was also busy with your elder brother's marriage, so I didn't have time to visit you."

Jiang Linzhi said casually: "It's been four years, does it take so long for Pei's eldest son's marriage to be arranged?"

Pei Cheng's words were targeted.

The smile on Father Pei's face couldn't hold back at all, he snorted coldly, and said, "I haven't seen you go back to your mother's house once in almost five years since you got married." The implication was to shirk responsibility.

Jiang Linzhi didn't speak any more.

In fact, Pei Cheng clearly remembered that since the first day he moved to the side house, he had asked his servants to send messages to Pei's house more than once, asking his parents to help him, but in the end... naturally there was no reply.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Pei Cheng was in a bad mood, Jiang Linzhi didn't talk much, Pei's father didn't know what to say, Jiang Yanzhi remained silent.

The atmosphere among the four men dropped to the freezing point for a while.

It wasn't until Xiaomei Pei walked in holding Mother Pei's hand that the weird atmosphere in the main hall changed.

Younger sister Pei is twenty-eight years old, and she just decided on a marriage at the beginning of the year, and she will get married in the spring of next year, so she has been clinging to Pei's mother to be a female worker recently.But today, when she heard that her second elder brother, who was neither male nor female, had returned with her husband and son, she left her embroidery work and hurried over to have a look.

Mother Pei slapped Pei Xiaomei's palm indiscriminately, signaling her to be more reserved later.

Pei Xiaomei stared at Pei Cheng, her eyes flashed with amazement, but when she saw Jiang Linzhi, the sick child beside Pei Cheng, the corners of her mouth drooped.

Although this Jiang Lin is good-looking, but he looks sick, and he is not at all as wise and powerful as his future husband-in-law.

Pei Xiaomei looked away regretfully, then saluted everyone, and said, "Father, second brother, second brother-in-law."

Pei Cheng didn't have a good impression of Pei Xiaomei, especially the way Pei Xiaomei looked at them just now, which directly minimized Pei Cheng's impression of Pei Xiaomei.

Jiang Linzhi's attitude was even more indifferent, and he didn't even look at Pei Xiaomei.

Pei Xiaomei held Pei's mother's hand aggrievedly, and called out in a low voice, "Mom!"

Mother Pei had a cold face. Although she was dissatisfied with Miss Pei's actions just now, the indifference between Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi made Mother Pei even more unhappy, "Pei Cheng!"

Pei Cheng's expression changed.

Jiang Linzhi, who had always been very indifferent, suddenly said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law was entrusted by my elder brother before going out, and I must ask my son-in-law to hand over something to my father-in-law."

Father Pei raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi reflexively. When did Uncle Jiang give Jiang Linzhi to his father?Why doesn't he know.
