The Male Wife

Cheng Yi ran over early in the morning.

This is what Pei Cheng heard from the servant after he woke up late. He raised his eyebrows, washed up quickly, and then took the little guy's hand out, thinking about going out for a while, and taking him to familiarize himself with it. Familiar with the vicinity, but unexpectedly bumped into Cheng Yi and Jiang Linzhi walking side by side, Pei Cheng paused and went up to him: "Master Cheng."

Cheng turned his head and smiled at Pei Cheng, with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Jiang."

The smile on Pei Cheng's face froze, and he didn't hear what Cheng Yi said later. After Pei Cheng realized it again, Cheng Yi had already lifted his feet with Jiang Linzhi and continued to walk. When Pei Cheng looked over, he could only I could see the indifferent and alienated expression on the man's face when he and Cheng Yi passed by him side by side.

It seems that since yesterday, the relationship between him and Jiang Linzhi has returned to the original relationship.

Jiang Yanzhi pulled Pei Cheng's hand, and the latter came back to his senses and said, "Well, let's go."

When Pei Cheng went out this time, he only took two servants with him, and he didn't take Jiang Yanzhi around aimlessly. As soon as he went out, Pei Cheng took Jiang Yanzhi to walk in the opposite direction of the city street .

This is a relatively quiet road. There are a few stalls selling snacks and melons on the side of the road. Pedestrians who pass by will look sideways when they see the unfamiliar Pei Cheng and the servants following him. It's full of exploration, but it's quickly gone.

After walking for a while, Pei Cheng went to a stall that sells chaos stalls and sat down. He ordered two bowls of wonton stew. While waiting for the wonton stew to arrive, Pei Cheng seemed to have just remembered something, and turned his head to talk to one of them. The servant said, "You two help me to do some shopping."

"Go to the street to buy two bunches of sugar cakes and candied gourds." Pei Cheng ordered one of them, and then looked at the other, "We have guests today, but the tea leaves we ordered at the store haven't been delivered yet, you can ask them Ask the shopkeeper of the tea shop and ask them to send someone back now."

The two servants didn't suspect him, so they turned around and left.

Jiang Yanzhi sat obediently on the chair and said, "Isn't father coming?"

Speaking of Jiang Linzhi, Pei Cheng's eyes darkened involuntarily. He didn't know that man, never knew what the other party wanted to do, let alone what he was thinking, "He doesn't like to eat these, we can just eat them .”

"Does Daddy like to eat?" After getting an affirmative answer, Jiang Yanzhi's eyes widened with a smile, "I like to eat too."

Pei Cheng was startled, and pinched his face, dumbfounded, "You haven't eaten it yet, why do you like it?"

As soon as the voice fell, a person who had been observing in secret for a long time ran out and sat on a chair in fear. The person had a black hat on his head. After he sat down, he looked around unsteadily, waiting for confirmation. No one was staring at him, so he pulled off his hat, revealing a familiar face, Erxi.

The store served two bowls of boiled wontons, the skins were wrapped with minced pork, and each one was lying round in the hot soup, with some tender green onions sprinkled on top, which was a particularly beautiful color.

The shopkeeper took a look at Er Xi who suddenly appeared, and felt that he didn't look like a good person. He was in business, so even though he was suspicious, he didn't ask any questions.

After the shopkeeper left, Pei Cheng put one of the bowls in front of Jiang Yanzhi. After thinking about it, he asked the shopkeeper for an empty bowl. He first picked out a few steaming wontons from the empty bowl, and then After scooping up a few more spoonfuls of soup, he placed it in front of Jiang Yanzhi again, and said, "Eat."

Jiang Yanzhi knew Er Xi, so he didn't find it strange, and just focused on eating wontons.

Er Xi hurriedly said: "Ma'am, everything has been settled, as long as the third master doesn't investigate, this matter will be over."

"Are you staying in the east courtyard now or are you running to the west courtyard?" Pei Chengsi picked up a wonton and said while blowing. He never planned to take Erxi away, but he never expected that just before he left the east courtyard One night, Er Xi found him and confessed everything, and even confessed to him with blood dripping in front of him, just begging Pei Cheng not to really throw him in the East Courtyard.

These days, who doesn't care about their own life, after all, there is only one.

So Er Xi would naturally cherish his own life.Erxi guessed that Pei Cheng didn't intend to take him away from Jiang's house, and after hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind to join Pei Cheng, and told the whole story of what the old lady told him to do in the past—not only that, but Erxi also He said that he and the little maid who the old lady is serving next to him are brothers and sisters.

The reason is to show loyalty to Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to believe in Er Xi. After he left Jiang's house, it would be difficult to know the situation of Jiang's family in the first place, so if Er Xi was an eyeliner in Jiang's house, it would be a great thing .

So Pei Cheng agreed.

"The slave is in the stable." Er Xi's expression was distressed, probably because he had not been happy in the stable for a couple of days.But what can be done about it, his master left the East Court without him, and the old lady who had promised him many benefits before ignored him, Erxi can still live with all his beard and tail, and it is already very good .

Er Xi ran out secretly, so he couldn't run out for too long, he lowered his voice, his voice couldn't hide his panic and worry, and he said, "Ma'am, what should we do next?"

"Did you clean the tail?"

Erxi nodded quickly, "The gang of beggars used money to do things. After what happened yesterday, they took the money and ran away. If they ran fast, they would have left the boundary of Huacheng last night."

"Then... what about those gangsters?" Obviously, Pei Cheng was more concerned about whether those gangsters would cause bigger troubles.

Erxi said: "Those people were imprisoned once before, and they couldn't find a job after they came out. They all say a word about this way of life, and they use money to do things, so naturally they won't confess to us."

Pei Cheng nodded, said while eating, "Okay."

Seeing that Pei Cheng didn't mention his affairs, Er Xi panicked, "Madam, villain... villain... small..."

Pei Cheng knew the principle of giving a jujube after being beaten with a stick, so he stopped hanging on to Erxi, and said straightforwardly: "Two days at the latest, after two days, I will have someone take you to the north of the city to find I."

Er Xi finally let go of the heart that had been hanging around for a long time.

Pei Cheng took Erxi's expression into his eyes. To be honest, if it wasn't for the lack of available people around him, Pei Cheng would not have used Erxi. After all, it would be too risky.

But Pei Cheng couldn't wait.

From rebirth to the present, he has waited for a full three months. During these three months, he has endured enough and endured long enough.Er Xi was about to leave, but before he left, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Pei Cheng hesitantly, wondering whether he should say it or not.

Pei Cheng signaled him with his eyes.

Erxi said: "Ma'am, I don't know whether I should say...a guest came to Xiyuan yesterday, and this person... came to see Hu Xiayun alone."

"Who is this guy.

"Your sister-in-law." Er Xi was worried that Pei Cheng would not believe him, so he hurriedly said, "I have never seen Madam's sister-in-law, but I have inquired about it while doing laundry. That person is really your sister-in-law."

"Please explain the cause." Pei Cheng frowned, his sister-in-law?Isn't that Liu Qianqian?

"Yesterday, the slave took the laundry to wash the clothes, and just happened to see a gorgeously dressed young lady walking in, and met Hu Xiayun alone. The slave didn't take it seriously at first, but after the slave left, he saw the woman standing in Xiyuan. The servants outside are wearing the clothes of the Pei family, and this servant recognized them." Erxi said, "The Pei family has sent people to the East Court some time ago, and this servant has seen them a few times, so I remembered their clothes. clothing."

"Ah."

Pei Cheng's face was gloomy, what the hell is this Liu Qianqian doing.

Liu Qianqian is Brother Pei's young wife.

Pei Cheng was suddenly a little annoyed, now he just wanted to find out the vicious servant who framed him in the previous life, and even more wanted to find out whether the master standing behind the vicious servant was Hu Xiayun, but Pei Cheng found out that the matter was getting worse and worse. There are more and more, and the things he wants to check seem to be more and more difficult.

Erxi's sharp eyes saw that the two servants running over not far behind Pei Cheng were the servants who had just been dismissed by Pei Cheng, so he hurriedly stood up, put on his hat, and said, "Madam, please remember to bring your little one with you." People leave Jiang's house.The servant went back first. "

Pei Cheng pursed his lips and did not speak, looked at Er Xi's back in a hurry to leave, finally looked at Jiang Yanzhi who was sitting next to him and was still buried in eating wontons, his mouth was bulging, and said, "Are you full?"

Jiang Yanzhi nodded, and put down the spoon. There was still a third of the wonton in his bowl, but his appetite was so big, there was nothing he could do.

Pei Cheng only ate half of it and couldn't take it anymore, because he heard the news that Liu Qianqian took her servant to see Hu Xiayun alone.

Pei Cheng suddenly suspected that the Pei family hadn't really severed ties with the Jiang family over the years. In the last life, Pei Cheng was driven to the side courtyard for stealing from the Jiang family, so Pei Cheng only sent servants from the Pei family to pass on the message. I heard that the relationship between Pei's family and Jiang's family has become very stiff, and they no longer have any business contacts.

At that time, Pei Cheng believed it, but now Pei Cheng doubts it.

If the relationship between the Pei family and the Jiang family has become so bad, why did Liu Qianqian go to see Hu Xiayun alone?If Liu Qianqian went behind the Pei family's back, then she wouldn't be so stupid as to take the Pei family's servants with her.

Panting, the servant ran back and put the candied cakes and candied haws on the table.

Pei Cheng absently took the candied cake and candied haws from the servant. He opened the lotus leaf, took a bite of the candied cake, and then handed the candied haws to Jiang Yanzhi.

Jiang Yanzhi likes to eat sweet and sour candied haws, his eyes rolled when he looked at the candied haws.

The sweet and greasy sugar cake was chewed by Pei Cheng bit by bit.

Jiang Yanzhi looked at Pei Cheng while eating. Pei Cheng had something on his mind and didn't look at Jiang Yanzhi.

Jiang Yanzhi looked at Pei Cheng with a little disappointment in his eyes, but Pei Cheng still didn't notice him, so Jiang Yanzhi was even more disappointed.
