Chapter 998 Chapter 998
When Pei Yuqin and Pei Yulin heard what their younger brother said, they each grabbed Huan Ge'er's little arm and rushed out like the wind.
Qi Yueniang was hugging Liu Yun, so how could she be on guard against a few boys? "Come back, one by one, you bullied your sister and ran away!"
The maids and servants tried to stop him, but Pei Yulin shouted, "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Ouch, Qi Yueniang was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. The maids and old women were worried that the snow was slippery, so they didn't dare to chase after him desperately. When they came to their senses, they and their servants had also run away without a trace.
Lanxiang chased after him with two maids. Just as she shouted "Be careful, buddies, the floor is slippery", she fell and bit herself. Fortunately, two little maids beside her pulled her up, otherwise she would have lost her front teeth.
Qin Ge'er turned back when he had time, "Sister Lanxiang, go back quickly, don't chase me!"
Whoops!
Lanxiang returned home disappointed, having fallen and bruised her palm. Qi Yueniang called for the maid to help her apply medicine, then turned to Liu Yun, who was taking a walk, and said, "Wanjie'er, Yunjie'er, don't bother with that naughty boy. Your second and fourth uncles will be back soon, and you won't be able to escape a beating."
At this point, Liu Wan could only say softly, "Aunt, you're too polite. It's common for sisters and brothers to have arguments. Please talk to the uncles and give them a few words of advice. Don't hit them. We sisters...we're also at fault."
Those who come are guests.
Even if it was a mistake, Qi Yue Niang would not blame her.
"Don't worry, this boy is not as precious as the girls. If he is not taught a lesson, when he grows up, he will also drag his sisters and wives to beat him. How shameful is that?"
He then ordered the maids to bring hot tea and snacks, and coaxed the two sisters to eat.
Liu Yun's hair was loose, and Qi Yueniang personally combed it for her again. There was a peaceful atmosphere in Kuoyuezhai.
There are few daughters in the Pei family.
Qi Yueniang looked at the two daughters of Pei Qiuyun. Apart from other things, they were so well-behaved and well-mannered that the other boys could not catch up with them.
But Liu Wan frowned and kept looking at the door.
Qi Yueniang watched secretly and knew that she was worried about Pei Qiuyun, so she asked softly, "Sister Wan, are you thinking about your mother?"
Liu Wan looked at her quiet and kind aunt and nodded slowly.
"There was a commotion in Grandmother's room. Even though Sister Yun and I were brought out by Fourth Aunt, we still heard a lot. I guess Grandfather must have been mad at Mother—"
Qi Yueniang sighed softly, "I'm not angry at all. As close as the Empress and her daughter are, there will be disagreements over words. You're still young, so these are not things you should worry about."
Liu Wan pondered for a moment, then mustered up her courage and looked up at Qi Yueniang. "Aunt, was it Fourth Aunt who caused Grandmother to be trapped in the small Buddhist temple?"
this--
Qi Yueniang looked over and asked, "Did your mother say so?"
Liu Wan shook her head. "Mother never said that. It was just my own guess."
Qi Yueniang sighed softly, "Don't blame your fourth aunt. She's so young, how could she do such a thing? It's really because your grandmother is unhappy that she's eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures."
Liu Yun curled her lips and said, "Aunt, has Fourth Aunt always been arrogant and domineering at home, always suppressing you and Second Aunt?"
When Qi Yueniang heard this, her face was full of confusion.
"Sister Yun, where did you hear that? If your Fourth Aunt is so heartless and only bullies me and your Second Aunt, why do these three brats seek your Fourth Aunt's protection when something happens to them?"
Qi Yueniang also knew that the two children were greatly influenced by Pei Qiuyun, so she couldn't deny it outright. She just said softly, "Your fourth aunt has the best temper, like a big child. The brothers all like Shaohua Garden, and she doesn't care about the trivial matters in our house. Where does her stubbornness come from?"
"Is Fourth Aunt so kind?"
Qi Yueniang laughed and said, "Sisters, has your fourth aunt ever treated you badly?"
The two sisters thought about it and shook their heads.
"I've never had any contact with my fourth aunt, so I wouldn't dare say that she treats me badly. It's just that in our house, my fourth aunt disobeys my mother—"
Because of this incident, my mother was scolded by my father, which made her cry for half the night.
"How can it be disobedient? Your mother is strong-willed. The two of them just said a few harsh words. Between family members, these are nothing serious."
Qi Yueniang's comfort was of little use.
Not long after, Pei Qiuyun, accompanied by her maids and servants, came to Kuoyuezhai. Qi Yueniang hurried out to greet them. After re-dressing herself in Xiao Yinxiu's room, Pei Qiuyun was still the noble and dignified princess of a county.
"Why are you being so polite to me, Yue Niang? I feel most at ease knowing my two sisters are with you."
Qi Yueniang helped her into the door and looked behind her. There was no sign of Xiao Yinxiu. "Eldest sister, come in and talk. Why didn't Ah Xiu come with you?"
"She felt bad. That bastard, Chen Ge'er, said some harsh words without caring about anything. You know Ah Xiu's temper. Although she looks strong, she is actually soft-hearted. Hearing that, she felt bad for a long time."
Qi Yueniang sighed softly, "...between husband and wife, we outsiders can't say anything. But a while ago, when they were arguing fiercely, they even resorted to physical contact."
Pei Qiuyun snorted and laughed, "Brother Chen has really grown up, now he knows how to beat his own wife!"
Qi Yueniang walked into the inner room with Pei Qiuyun, lowering her voice and smiling softly, "Hasn't my elder sister noticed the bald spot on my second brother's forehead?"
Uh!
Pei Qiuyun nodded. "He's gone bald for no reason. He looks ten years older for no reason."
"A Xiu caught it."
Uh……
Qi Yueniang looked at Pei Qiuyun, stunned, and smiled faintly, saying, "Eldest sister, if I hadn't lived in this mansion, I wouldn't have thought of this. There were times when the couple fought so hard that the brothers were scared, and the servants couldn't stop them. It was only when the fourth brother and his wife went over that they stopped."
"A Xiu is also being beaten?"
"A Xiu is also very strong-willed, so don't worry, eldest sister. Fortunately, the couple's quarrels are mostly verbal. The brothers are also smart. They realized that their parents were not doing well, so they either came to my room or went to their fourth aunt's place."
Pei Qiuyun listened and sighed, "Coming here today, I seem to understand too many things. Life is not peaceful for anyone."
Qi Yueniang personally served tea and persuaded her softly.
"Every family has its own troubles. It's just that my eldest sister has worked so hard. She finally came back to Beijing, but she was mixed up in these troubles. It's not a happy trip back to her parents' home."
Hearing Qi Yueniang's comforting words, Pei Qiuyun's eyes softened. Seeing Qi Yueniang doing things steadily and resolutely, it was not like what Ah Xiu said, that a widow in charge would be laughed at by the world.
"It's fine with me, but it's hard on my mother."
After all, she is her mother's biological child, so when it comes to words, she leans more towards her mother. She knows that what Pei Chen said to her and Xiao Yinxiu cannot be known to others, so she keeps it deep in her heart.
Qi Yueniang nodded, "Don't worry, elder sister. I went to visit mother today and she's in great health. She's been so worried and tired in the first half of her life, so it might not be a bad thing for her to cultivate her character now."
