The Male Wife

Pei Cheng opened the book in silence, and took out several thin sheets of paper from the gaps between three different pages.

Jiang Linzhi took the papers, his originally casual expression was stunned when he saw these three papers, and an imperceptible amused flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He originally thought that Pei Cheng was a little white rabbit who didn't understand anything, but now it seems that the inner core of this little white rabbit has been gradually dyed black under the persecution of reality.

Three pieces of paper, one is a silver note worth 100 taels, one is the land deed of ten mu of fertile land in Hwaseong, and the other is the land deed of a pastry shop.

Jiang Linzhi glanced at the title deed of the pastry shop, and something slowly emerged from the depths of his memory. Only then did Jiang Linzhi remember that Pei Cheng often asked his servants to buy all kinds of sweet cakes outside during this time, and every Every time Pei Cheng would point out the name of a sweet pastry shop, and... the title deed of the shop in front of him was exactly that pastry shop.

How did Pei Cheng know that his little thoughts during this time had been seen through, he looked at Jiang Linzhi uneasily, and waited for Jiang Linzhi to say something to him, but after waiting for a long time, Pei Cheng hadn't waited for the other party reply.

He was a little worried that Jiang Linzhi would not care about his family background, so Pei Cheng said dryly: "Second Master, this... can this sincerity..."

He couldn't go on.

Jiang Linzhi handed the three pieces of paper to Pei Cheng who was looking at him eagerly, and said, "It must be very difficult for Madam to save these family properties."

Pei Cheng glanced at Jiang Linzhi quietly, lowered his head, carefully stuffed the three pieces of paper into his inner pocket, and then sighed, thinking that it was not easy.

The Pei family is different from the Jiang family. The Pei family's wealth is basically not as rich as the Jiang family's. Therefore, Pei's mother usually provides just enough food and clothing for the backyard. Although there will be nothing missing, it is absolutely impossible to have more Give.

Therefore, before Pei Cheng was married, he wanted to secretly save some private money in this Pei family. It was almost impossible. Pei Cheng propped his chin, his eyes began to slack, he was thinking that these things are not worth it. He said, "It's not that difficult. Although the family doesn't give much money, they still provide enough food."

Jiang Linzhi said: "How long did Madam save these things?"

Pei Cheng coughed dryly and said, "Five years."

Jiang Lin was taken aback, he was not from the Pei family, and he didn't know how difficult it would be for the stingy Pei family to secretly save these family fortunes within five years.But he could see from Pei Cheng's expression that it was very difficult for Pei Cheng to save these things.

After thinking about it, Jiang Linzhi said: "If we have time, let's go to Madam's shop."

Pei Cheng readily agreed, since he had already planned to be honest with Jiang Linzhi, and even the name of the shop had been revealed, it was impossible for Pei Cheng to continue thinking about hiding it.

After thoroughly explaining it to Jiang Linzhi, the big stone in Pei Cheng's heart finally fell. He happily took out the shop deed and good land deed that had just been stuffed into his inner pocket, and stared at it over and over again.

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng amusedly, as if he couldn't understand the thoughts of boys who like to play with these little things, but he was not in a good mood to be blind enough to disturb Pei Cheng.

Self-servingly staring at Pei Cheng's smiling side face for a long time, Jiang Linzhi said: "Madam likes these very much?" Pei Cheng nodded solemnly, while carefully stuffing the three pieces of paper back into the box. Inner pocket, while replying: "I like it."

After a pause, Pei Cheng swallowed all the second half of the sentence that was about to blurt out. After all, he could never tell Jiang Linzhi that he was worried that he would have no husband to rely on and no children to rely on when he was old, so he liked to secretly save some money. Title deed.

Naturally, it is impossible for Jiang Linzhi to know what Pei Cheng was thinking. He looked at Pei Cheng's happy side face for a long time with a half-smile, and suddenly said, "Since madam likes it, after I go back, I will do that for my husband." The three shops are entrusted to you to take care of."

Pei Cheng swiped his head up to look at Jiang Linzhi, and reconfirmed that there was no intention of joking on his face. After thinking about it, he still refused: "It's too early for the second master to say these things."

The relaxed look on Jiang Linzhi's face gradually faded away. He straightened up, put his hands on his knees, looked at Pei Cheng coldly, and said, "Madam, don't you think those three shops are a hot potato?"

Pei Cheng didn't dare to say anything at first, but under Jiang Linzhi's cold gaze, he still nodded slowly, but for some reason, Pei Cheng, who has always disdain to explain to others, finally said: "This As far as I know, the uncle has always taken care of the three shops for the second master. If the second master asks the uncle, then even the last bit of peace in the east courtyard will be gone."

Jiang Linzhi's expression gradually eased, and he could hear the meaning of Pei Cheng's words, but he was still a little displeased, "The deeds of the three shops are in my hands, if I really want to get them back from him, I can't take them back." It's not difficult."

only……

Pei Cheng thought of something, and continued on his own, "But the second master has never been in charge of those three shops in these years, and it is estimated that he will come back like this, and the minds of those servants in the shop will definitely not be with the second master. "

Jiang Linzhi stretched out his finger, shook it, and said: "The most important thing in Huacheng is servants. If the servants in the shop are disobedient, they can be used as an example."

Although Pei Cheng's mind is not as lively as Jiang Linzhi's, he is not so stupid. When he heard Jiang Linzhi's explanation, he frowned and said, "Could it be that the second master is worried about the old man in Xiyuan?" people?"

Jiang Linzhi is not worried about the old lady in Xiyuan, he is worried that if the old lady really wants to attack, it is estimated that the target of the attack will not be himself, but Pei Cheng.By then, Pei Cheng might not be able to deal with that old woman.

Because of his rich family background, Mr. Jiang brought many women back to his home before his death, but no matter how much he doted on those concubines, the old lady's status as the main wife never changed—that's why Pei Cheng never dared to underestimate her. The old lady's reason.

If a woman's methods are not clever, she thinks it is impossible to get into the old lady's position.

Pei Cheng drooped his head worriedly. He heard Jiang Linzhi say that he wanted to take back the three shops and manage them himself. In fact, his heart was really moved, but as long as he thought of the existence of the old lady, Pei Cheng would be intimidated. up.

"Madam can consider this matter slowly." Jiang Linzhi couldn't see through Pei Cheng's careful thinking, the corner of his mouth pulled up, and his mood began to improve again, "There is still a lot of time."

"And..." Jiang Linzhi said slowly, "If Ma'am is really worried that Xiyuan will make things difficult, we can mention moving out. If so, they may not have any opinions."

Pei Cheng pursed his lips and said nothing, the heartbeat that had already floated on his face had completely faded away.

He really wanted to move out, but Pei Cheng wanted to find the servant and mastermind who framed him a few years later in his previous life.

Pei Cheng stood up in a jiffy, and hurriedly left the room after saying "I'll go and see Yanzhi".

Jiang Linzhi took advantage of the situation and stood up. Seeing the moment of despair and sadness flashing across Pei Cheng's face, he felt as if something had hit him hard in his heart.

But Jiang Linzhi controlled himself at the last moment and did not catch up.

Pei Cheng did not go to Jiang Yanzhi, but came to the bamboo forest in the back mountain alone.

The bamboo forest in the cold winter is more chilly than the bamboo forest in the early summer.

Pei Cheng squatted on the ground, holding his knees with his hands, with only a tear in the corner of his eye, and his expressionless face was full of haze.

Since he was reborn, he has been secretly warning himself that he should not repeat the mistakes of his previous life, so he moved from the side courtyard back to the main house as soon as his health improved, and finally took the initiative to please Jiang Linzhi.

Pei Cheng felt like he was going crazy.

When he died tragically in the side courtyard in his last life, he was framed by his servants for committing adultery with outsiders, so Hu Xiayun took this opportunity to get rid of him.At that time, Pei Cheng sent his servants to find Jiang Linzhi in a panic. Although he hadn't seen his so-called husband very much at that time, he chose to believe in Jiang Linzhi at a critical moment.

But in the end, Pei Cheng only waited for Jiang Yanzhi who had just returned to the main house for half a year.

The servants in the side courtyard were all ordered to die, so even if Jiang Yanzhi tried his best to stop them, the servants had no intention of stopping.

In the end, Pei Cheng watched Jiang Yanzhi being beaten to death with random sticks.

And how did he die at that time?

Pei Cheng doesn't remember, he only remembers that Jiang Yanzhi was still protecting himself tightly the second before his death.

The cold wind blew past, and Pei Cheng, who was wearing thin clothes, flinched, but he still had no intention of getting up.

Pei Cheng thought, he hadn't had a direct confrontation with Hu Xiayun during this period of time, he was simply waiting, he was waiting, he wanted to see if the servant who framed him for adultery with an outsider in the last life was instigated by Hu Xiayun Yes, he wanted to see if Hu Xiayun really wanted to kill him.

Hu Xiayun is not a good stump to be provoked, and he, Pei Cheng, is definitely not a soft guy to be bullied.

Pei Cheng lowered his head, pinching his already numb legs.

Because the Pei family didn't care about his life in the previous life, Pei Cheng really didn't want to come back in this life.But he wanted to take away the property that he hid from the Pei family, so he had no choice but to come back.

Pei Cheng, who has already died once, knows very well that no matter what he wants to do in Huacheng, money is king.

If he had no money, his fate might not be any better than his previous life.

Footsteps sounded behind him, very softly.

Pei Cheng didn't look back, and when the footsteps were about to come behind him, he said, "Second Lord."

"kindness."

Jiang Linzhi bent down and covered Pei Cheng with the black cloak.

Pei Cheng's frozen and stiff body gradually warmed up, and his expression also improved a little, he said in a hoarse voice: "Second Master, after father's birthday, you can accompany me to visit those three shops, I want to try it. "

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng's squatting back, and only said: "Okay."
