Chapter 416 World 9: Lantern
Chapter 416 World 9: Lantern
Xu's mother felt guilty for a moment, but she quickly opened her eyes.
"No matter what you like or dislike, in my eyes, you are all the same."
"Yes, they are all the same." Xu Ying laughed to herself, "The eldest sister, the second sister, me, the fifth sister, all the girls in this house are the same. Only the younger brother is different."
Whether it's her biological child or not, it's the same.
"Okay, hurry up and take good care of yourself. I heard that the youngest daughter of the Tu family will marry into the Pei family in four months. The middle child in the family will definitely be in her hands."
She felt it was a pity, "You will definitely not be able to get involved. Now think about how you can please your mother-in-law after you get married."
"She's not old, so she's easy to figure out. As long as she uses the right method, the Pei Mansion will still be yours in the future."
"She is easy to handle?" Xu Ying wiped the tears on her face, "Who told you that she is easy to handle?"
If Tu Qingyu had been better at handling things, she wouldn't be lying on this bed now.
Xu's mother paused and fell into silence looking at her legs.
"Stop teasing her, mother, please protect me from being played to death by her after I get married."
"It's not that serious."
"Why not?" She looked at her legs sarcastically, "She entered the house before me, so she must have controlled the Pei family. The most powerful person in the family also followed her."
"How do you know Pei Jian will follow her? In the final analysis, their marriage was just because of Master Wuliang's words."
"No, Pei Jian treats her differently." She even doubted that Master Wuliang would not have said those words if Pei Jian hadn't meant it.
"Forget it, forget it." Mrs. Xu stood up irritably, "I won't tell you this anymore. You should think about what to do in the future."
On the tenth day after the marriage was set, Tu Qingyu received an exquisite lantern.
Everyone in Tu Mansion is confused. The Lantern Festival has passed, why are they still sending lanterns?
Only Tu Qingyu knew that Pei Jian made it himself.
That night, she appeared at the side door of Pei's mansion carrying this lantern.
When the people from Pei Mansion opened the door, their eyes popped out.
"Miss Tu, why are you here?"
Now everyone in the Pei family, including those in the kitchen, knew Tu Qingyu.
A portrait of Tu Qingyu was passed around Pei's house by the housekeeper.
Hundreds of people, up and down, all knew what their future wife looked like.
"I'm here to see Pei Jian. Is he at home?" She waved the lantern.
"Yes, yes." The concierge nodded repeatedly, "Please come in with me."
"Don't you need to report it?"
"Hey, it's you who are here, not someone else. What else do you need to report?"
Your Excellency has already told me that no matter before or after the Madam enters the mansion, seeing the Madam is like seeing the Lord.
Treat your wife with the same respect as you would an adult.
"I like what you said." Tu Qingyu looked at the maid who was following him, "Chunliu, reward me."
Chunliu took out a bulging purse, but the concierge repeatedly refused, "No, no, no, how dare I accept your reward."
"Take it, I'm happy to reward you. If you don't accept it, I won't be happy."
"Hey." The concierge accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Madam. No, thank you, Miss."
"What did you call me?"
"Miss, don't blame me, I, I'm used to shouting in my heart, I didn't react for a while."
"It's okay, I like you to call me madam, so just call me madam."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man hurriedly appeared around the corner.
"Pei Jian!" She ran over with the lantern in hand, and then hugged him, "Pei Jian, I really like the lantern you made, thank you."
The faint smell of camellia surrounded him, his outstretched hand paused in the air, and his pupils dilated slightly.
The surrounding servants lowered their heads and did not dare to look again.
After a long time, he responded in a low voice, "As long as you like it."
Tu Qingyu let go of his hand, raised his head, and looked at him with bright eyes, "Didn't you say you can't make lanterns?"
Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, he couldn't hold back. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her broken hair that had been messed up by trotting just now.
"I just learned it." He didn't notice how gentle his tone was when he spoke to Tu Qingyu.
But the servants around noticed it.
Listening to their master's gentle and doting tone, they felt goosebumps on their bodies.
Tu Qingyu stretched out the hand without the lantern and pinched his cheek, "That's great."
After squeezing, she stood up on tiptoes and pecked him gently on the cheek. The kiss was instant.
After kissing her, she looked like a cat that had stolen something. Her eyes were curled up when she smiled, "This is a reward for you."
Under the night, his eyes became darker and darker.
But she, as if she didn't see it, reached out and took his generous hand.
"Let's go, I'm a little thirsty after running all the way."
He moved his Adam's apple and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you to drink water."
"Then I'm going to your yard. Unfortunately it's night and I can't take a good look at your mansion."
He held the soft little hand back and led the person forward quietly. After a while, he whispered back, "The days are long."
"Yeah." She tapped his palm gently with her fingers, "I like what you said."
"Give me the lamp." He was afraid that she would be tired holding the lamp, so he reached out and took it from her hand.
Tu Qingyu obediently handed the lamp to him, and he just led the person, holding the lamp, through the long corridor.
Pei Kangsheng happened to come back from Xu Mansion. When he came back, he saw such a scene and his whole body felt bad.
He thought he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, it was indeed his father, holding a fairy-like figure in his hand, could it be his ex-fiancée?
"Fang Xing, did you see it?" But he still didn't give up. After swallowing, he stretched out his hand and patted the attendant beside him, "Is that father and Tu Qingyu?"
The attendant who was called Fang Xing also rubbed his eyes, and then said with difficulty, "That, that is the master and Miss Tu..."
Another personal attendant behind him spoke again, "Sir, should we go and salute you?"
"Salute?" Pei Kangsheng's face was dark, he clenched his fists, feeling hatred and anger in his heart.
Why did his father have to marry Tu Qingyu? How would others view his adopted son in the future and how should he behave in front of Tu Qingyu?
The most important thing is, what will Tu Qingyu do if he gives birth to a child for his father in the future?
What else does the Pei Mansion have to do with him?
"S-Sir..." The attendant felt that his face looked a little ugly and called him in a low voice.
At this time, Tu Qingyu and his party had disappeared at the end of the corridor.
He turned around and said, "Let's go back."
