Chapter 197 Xiao Lin, You Married a Good Wife
Xiao Lin was not in a hurry, but Pei Shangxing could not sit still any longer. He stood up and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured. I promise that Xiao Lin has not done anything to let you down."
Jiang Shuyue's eyebrows curved, and he stared at Xiao Lin, "Brother, I heard that Xiao Lin had a fight with you for a girl. Where does this put me?"
"This... this is fake, a show."
"I know it's fake, but outsiders don't know. Isn't my Jiang Shuyue's face a face?"
Pei Shangxing was also puzzled. How could a little woman be so imposing? Even he, who had done nothing wrong, felt a little guilty.
But looking at Xiao Lin, he sat there calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Xiao Lin, say something." Pei Shangxing really wanted to kick him. Isn't it the case that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is?
Xiao Lin smiled faintly, "What do you think, Madam?"
"I, Jiang Shuyue, am certainly not a pushover. If you don't want to make things worse, you have to give me an explanation." Jiang Shuyue turned the jade bracelet on his hand.
That was given by Mrs. Tao.
"Well, ma'am, you are absolutely right."
Pei Shangxing was confused and asked, "No, are you two arguing or not?"
Why are you so friendly after having an argument?
It doesn’t look like they didn’t quarrel?
Pei Changting glared at his son. He thought he was good in every way before, but now he seemed a little stupid compared to the young couple.
"Brother, since the Tao family dared to take on this deceptive job, they naturally don't want Xiao Lin to show up. Although I'm not afraid of seeing people, it will be bad if it gets out of hand. They have to pay a price for doing bad things."
Pei Changting understood, but it seemed as if he didn’t understand.
"What do you want?" Xiao Lin asked.
"Don't the Tao family call themselves businessmen? They have many shops, so I want a shop."
Jiang Shuyue looked at Pei Shangxing, "Where's my brother?"
"And my share?"
Jiang Shuyue smiled and nodded, "The Tao family is guilty and afraid to see the officials. They have offended someone like you, so they would like to settle the matter privately."
"I don't need anything." Pei Shangxing said, "But I can't let them get away with it. I'll give my share to my sister-in-law. Just think of it as a wedding gift from my father and son to you and your wife."
Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "Brother, if you don't want to, then the other purpose of this play will be wasted, right?"
"Another purpose?" Pei Shangxing felt that the young woman in front of him was not simple. "Can you tell me what the other purpose is?"
Pei Changting stroked his beard and looked at Jiang Shuyue.
"Then I will venture to say something. Whether it is right or not, you and my godfather please don't laugh at me. I am just a country girl with little experience."
Pei Shangxing thought to herself, if she has little experience, then who has more experience?
"I guess my godfather agreed to this play, and he also deliberately wanted to let people catch him."
Pei Changting sat up straighter, his eyes flickering with admiration.
"Go on."
Jiang Shuyue did not act coquettishly and continued, "As a country girl, I know that the Pei family father and son are known as victorious generals, with millions of soldiers. This time, my brother won another victory and received a lot of rewards. This may seem like a good thing, and the people will love him even more, but in fact, it will make many people uneasy."
This uneasiness naturally includes the emperor. If they have their own troops, the one they fear the most is the emperor.
This incident gave people the opportunity to impeach the Pei family. When the people knew that the Pei family had also done bad things, they were no longer so supportive.
Pei Shangxing was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "Xiao Lin, if you say you didn't tell your sister-in-law anything, I absolutely don't believe it."
Xiao Lin spread his hands, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "But I really didn't say anything."
Pei Changting nodded and said, "Xiao Lin, you have married a good wife."
There is no more praise. In fact, it is rare to get the praise from General Pei.
Jiang Shuyue wasn't showing off on purpose, but since she was planning to go on with Xiao Lin, she naturally had to have the abilities and skills to match him, otherwise she would only become a burden to him.
No matter what, he didn't tell me this time because he was afraid that I would worry or because he was worried that I wouldn't be able to act well in this scene.
Since she let the Pei father and son know that she was not a stupid person and could even help Xiao Lin, they would discuss any plans in the future with her, and she would be able to contribute instead of being as passive as she was today.
"Sister-in-law, are you really not a daughter of a wealthy family who has been stranded outside?"
In Pei Shangxing's impression, country girls are simple and innocent, and they don't have such delicate minds.
However, Jiang Shuyue at this time in his previous life was indeed as he thought.
"I was thinking, how about you help me find my biological parents?"
"Okay." Pei Shangxing actually nodded.
Pei Changting glared at him and said, "Okay, Shuyue, I feel relieved to have you by Xiao Lin's side. I originally didn't agree to let him come to the capital because it would be too easy to get into danger."
"After all, his identity..." Pei Shangxing looked at Xiao Lin, "Did you tell me this?"
Xiao Lin shook his head, then looked at Jiang Shuyue again, "But after this incident, I'm afraid she has guessed it."
"Then go back and talk slowly." Pei Changting was still very tactful.
Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Father, brother, it's getting late, I have to go back."
Pei Shangxing thought, if nothing else, just sit for a while.
But before I said it, I felt it was inappropriate.
"Where are those two?"
"They have no good intentions towards Xiao Lin. Let them suffer more first." Jiang Shuyue raised his eyebrows, then bowed to the Pei father and son and walked out.
"Sister-in-law!"
Tao Lanlan was waiting at the door, and no one made things difficult for her. At first she was just worried and didn't dare to go in, but after a long time, she couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't want such a good sister-in-law to be bullied.
But the person at the door refused to let her in no matter what.
She was so anxious.
"Lanlan!"
Tao Lanlan stepped forward and held Jiang Shuyue's hand. Her concern didn't seem fake. She cried with red eyes, "Are you okay? Did they scold you?"
Jiang Shuyue smiled, "No, I wasn't the one who hit them, why would they embarrass a woman like me?"
Tao Lanlan looked at Jiang Shuyue, but couldn't see any injuries. "Then...brother and the others..."
"Let's go back and talk."
When Jiang Shuyue brought Tao Lanlan back to the Tao family, the family was in a mess. Tao Wanwan saw that the two of them returned empty-handed and couldn't help but taunt them, "I thought you could bring someone back, so why are you pretending?"
Madam Tao glanced at Tao Wanwan, but didn't say anything to her, "Shuyue, at this moment, I don't ask for your help, but please don't make things more complicated."
"It's causing trouble. If I go to Pei's house to save people, is that causing trouble?" Jiang Shuyue asked.
