The Male Wife

Chapter 48 - Distrust



Pei Cheng walked to the door and stepped, looking at Pei Xiaomei, who was still lying on the door eavesdropping.

Pei Xiaomei pulled the skirt corner awkwardly. She saw the slap mark on Pei Cheng’s face, and the expression on her face changed at once, like sympathy and pity.

Pei Cheng ignored her and lifted his foot towards his courtyard.

Being slapped, Pei Cheng had no face to go to the main hall, so he went directly back to the yard, and he did not let his followers follow him. He turned around all by himself, and then turned to Houshan.

Several domestic servants whispered something together, and Pei Cheng seemed to hear that the domestic servants were talking about themselves, and for a moment he had no thoughts of going on. He turned and walked back the way he came.

But when Pei Cheng had just returned to the courtyard, he saw Jiang Rongzhi staring at his face at the door, and then Pei Cheng raised his hand afterwards, covering his face.

Jiang Rongzhi’s eyes were gloomy. He glanced coldly at Pei Cheng and turned to enter the house.

Pei Cheng embarrassed to keep up.

When he came to the east, he hurried out of the house and gave a salute. After a while, he came back with a few hot boiled eggs. Pei Cheng sat on the low couch, and when he saw Dong Lai came in with a hot egg, his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily.

Jiang Rongzhi, who just saw this scene, pursed her lips and said, “Go out.”

Donglai put the hot eggs and gauze on the round table, daring not to ask much, and carefully exited.

Jiang Rongzhi came over with a tray. He wrapped the hot egg with gauze, and then motioned Pei Cheng to release his hand that had been covering his face and said, “I’ll put it on you.”

Pei Cheng shook his head and refused, “This seal will disappear after a night. It doesn’t matter if it’s not enough. The second man doesn’t have to worry too much.”

Where did Jiang Rongzhi spend time with him, pulling his face, “let go.”

Pei Cheng silently loosened his hand covering his face, and then watched Jiang Rongzhi help himself with a hot egg, and the heart that had been cold by Pei’s family gradually began to warm up again.

“Second lord, let’s go back after the father’s birthday. It’s meaningless to stay here.” Pei Cheng endured the pain and quickly diverted his eyes.

Jiang Rinzhi pursed her lips and carefully applied Pei Cheng’s face with eggs, saying, “I thought you would not go back with me after you returned to Pei’s house.”

Pei Cheng stunned and said, “Since I am now the second lord, I will naturally not think of going back to the past.”

“My father-in-law just mentioned some business matters with me.” Jiang Rinzhi’s opinion was almost the same. He put the eggs aside and said, “I don’t understand business matters. Ask Big Brother for some shops to do your own business. “

Pei Cheng was regretful. He was still thinking that his father hadn’t mentioned this matter with himself, and he should have given up, but he never expected that he would go over to himself and tell Jiang Rongzhi directly about it.

“If the second lord feels embarrassed, this matter will not matter to him.” Pei Cheng said hardly, he was very aware of Jiang Rongzhi’s status in the Jiang family, so he was even more annoyed by his father’s recklessness.

Jiang Rongzhi didn’t seem to take this matter into his heart. He looked at Pei Cheng with a smile. After waiting for Pei Cheng to feel uncomfortable, he said lightly: “The bones have been bad all these years. I have taken these things too seriously, but now that my wife has told me, even if you don’t want to control it anymore, you still manage it. “

Pei Cheng blushed, and he had no affection for Jiang Rongzhi, but the other party was his nominal husband after all …

“And I also think that my father-in-law’s analysis on this matter is not unreasonable. When we go back, I will mention the matter to my elder brother, and my wife can rest assured.” Jiang Rongzhi didn’t seem to see Pei Cheng’s face Changes, said self-servingly.

Pei Cheng felt embarrassed inexplicably.

Pei Cheng took a deep breath, and he interrupted what Jiang Rongzhi wanted to continue. Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Rongzhi seriously and said, “Second Lord, if this matter is mentioned to Uncle, I don’t think it will work.”

Jiang Rongzhi was a little surprised. He thought that when he took the initiative to mention the “good thing” that Pei said, the other party would agree.

Pei Cheng’s reaction was beyond his expectations. Jiang Rongzhi thought indifferently. He had originally thought that the filial son of Pei Cheng would ask his own words exactly as Pei’s parents demanded.

But now it seems that Jiang Rongzhi feels that he should re-examine Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng didn’t notice Jiang Linzhi’s look in his eyes with temptation, he analyzed himself: “I am also clear about the situation of the second lord in the Jiang family. If it is daily expenses, the uncle and the old lady will naturally not owe. East Courtyard, but if the second lord proposes to share the work of the shop with the uncle, I worry that even if the uncle agrees, the old lady will definitely not agree. “

With sadness all over his face, Pei Cheng continued: “Not to mention, this Xiyuan is more than an old lady who is a difficult woman.”

In fact, in Pei Cheng’s opinion, Hu Xiayun is not much better than the old lady.

The Jiang family now has two more powerful women, one is the old lady and the other is Hu Xiayun. In Pei Cheng’s opinion, even if the old lady is no longer strong, she is just a person who is about to step into the coffin with both feet. Even if she really can’t get used to herself, she won’t be able to get over herself in the end.

But Hu Xiayun is different. Although Hu Xiayun is not as good as the old lady, she is still young, and if there is no accident, in a few years’ time, the authority of the Jiang family’s backyard will be completely transferred from the old lady’s hand to Hu Xiayun’s hand. on.

Therefore, Hu Xiayun cannot be ignored.

Jiang Rongzhi didn’t seem to react. He thought that Pei Cheng wouldn’t think about the right and wrong of the backyard, but he didn’t expect that the other party would be more than he thought.

“Mrs. don’t worry too much about this.” Jiang Rinzhi poured a cup of tea, but just stopped taking a sip.

The Pei’s tea is not comparable to the Jiang’s, and this Jiang’s second lord is not very picky in many places, but this tea is very picky. Therefore, Pei’s tea, which can’t be moved on the countertop in front of the rich and the rich, will naturally not make Jiang Rongzhi look good.

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi silently. Although he didn’t pay much attention to tea, everyone could see it. The tea in this pot of tea was not good at all, especially the tea in this yard was very bad.

“Father had worried about my future before he died.” Jiang Rin’s expression was faint. He was not willing to talk about the old Jiang who had died, but in order to explain to Pei Cheng, he could only explain it to him patiently.

“What did he leave for the second lord?” Pei Cheng heard the subtext in Jiang Rong’s words.

Jiang Rongzhi lowered his eyes and pressed down the haze that flashed under his eyes. If the old man didn’t leave anything to himself, maybe he wouldn’t have hope yet, but the old man not only stayed, the things left behind also made Jiang Rong I feel embarrassed.

Because of their different backgrounds, Jiang Rongzhi knew that he and Uncle Jiang were unmatched. But this does not mean that he can openly face the difference between the three of them.

Jiang Rin’s expression said indifferently: “Three shops, one food shop, and two clothing shops.”

Pei Cheng licked the corners of his dry mouth, and his original excited heart gradually cooled down. These three shops are good for ordinary people, but for the Jiang family, it is just a little meat.

Jiang Rongzhi stared at Pei Cheng with a curvature in the corner of his mouth, jokingly said: “All my net worth only has these three shops, Mrs. Mo wouldn’t take it as husband.”

Pei Cheng naturally does not disdain, in fact, he is similar to Jiang Rinzhi, who can still disdain.

But Jiang Rongzhi knew what Pei Cheng was thinking. He didn’t get a reply from Pei Cheng, and his relaxed expression gradually faded.

Pei Cheng stood up at once. He seemed to have made a decision. He took a deep breath, took a deep look at Jiang Rongzhi, and then ran to the door of the house in front of Jiang Rongzhi and hung the bolt. , And then went to lift a round chair and walked to the bookshelf.

Jiang Rinzhi vaguely noticed what Pei Cheng was about to do, but he was still reluctant to believe. He stood up and watched Pei Cheng climb into the round chair, and then his hands kept touching the top layer, which was already clothed. The dusty book.

Pei Cheng’s height was not enough, he touched his toes for a long time, and his face was covered with gray. Then he felt a familiar pattern on the cover of the book. With a happy expression on his face, he directly took the book off.

Jiang Rin took a step back and opened his hands slightly sideways.

Pei Cheng landed safely.

Jiang Rongzhi put his hands on his back again and coughed dry, pretending that nothing happened.

The white crescent moon gown Pei Cheng wore was already stained with dust, but it wasn’t too serious. He took a thick copy of the magical record and walked to the low couch, taking a deep breath, his face full of magnanimous.

He wanted to talk to Jiang Linzhi about his heart, but Pei Cheng knew that the other party had never believed in himself, and wanted Jiang Linzhi to trust himself, Pei Cheng knew what he had to pay for.

For example, little secret.

Jiang Rongzhi probably guessed that this book should contain Pei Cheng’s little secret, but he didn’t say it, but asked in a knowing way: “What do you do with this book?”

Pei Cheng’s eyes are full of heart-pounding with Jiang Rongzhi. Where is he thinking about observing Jiang Rongzhi? He lowered his head and said to himself: “I have also saved some family over the years. Although not many, but … … Since we are all husbands, I think I should tell you something. ”

Jiang Rongzhi raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of lightness. “Ma’am means, is there your family in this book?”

Pei Cheng lowered his head, nodded gently, and then exhaled quietly after half a sound.

Now that he has decided to push his heart, he cannot be too careful or regret it.

but……

Pei Cheng looked sadly at the book in front of him, but if he really burst out all his family, he was not very willing.

What’s more, is Jiang Rongzhi really worthy of his trust? Pei Cheng asked himself this in his heart.
