The Male Wife

Qiuyi rolled up the broken hair by her ears, and didn't pay attention to Donglai's vigilance, but breathed a sigh of relief. She raised the food box in her hand and said absent-mindedly: "Master ordered me to send a Give the pastry to the second master."

The vigilance in Dong Lai's eyes became less obvious, but he was still on guard from his straightened back, "Why did you come to the Second Young Madam's yard to send cakes to Second Lord."

A blush flashed across Qiuyi's cheeks. She had been helping Hu Xiayun observe Pei Cheng secretly for the past few days, so when she passed this yard just now, she just poked her head in reflexively.

Donglai stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the things, and I'll send them to the second master."

Qiu Yi turned sideways, and put the food box behind him, so that Dong Lai would not touch it, "The uncle said, I have to deliver this pastry to the second master myself."

Dong Lai turned around, without any ups and downs in his voice, he said, "Follow me."

Qiuyi swallowed, and hurriedly followed.

In the study, Pei Cheng was still looking at Jiang Linzhi, the two of them were very close, and the atmosphere went from being stiff at the beginning to vaguely ambiguous now.

Pei Cheng was very uncomfortable with the current state of the two of them.

As I said before, Jiang Linzhi always has a faint gloomyness floating around him, that kind of atmosphere that always seems out of tune with the world, which will make people who are close to him feel uncomfortable.

Pei Cheng is no exception.However, he didn't make his rejection of Jiang Linzhi so obvious.He just turned his head slightly sideways, refusing to meet Jiang Linzhi's eyes.

I don't know why, but Pei Cheng always has the illusion that once he looks at Jiang Linzhi, everything he thinks in his heart will be seen through by the other party.

"Knock down."

The knock on the door from outside the study broke the embarrassing situation in the house, and Pei Cheng raised his voice, "Who?"

There was a knock on the door outside the house, and Dong said, "Second Master, the uncle ordered someone to send some pastries."

Jiang Linzhi doesn't like sweets, so he never touches sweets. The whole Jiang family knows this, so Uncle Jiang never specially ordered people to send pastries to the East Courtyard.

but……

Jiang Linzhi glanced at Pei Cheng's side face indiscriminately, and didn't know whether the elder brother's pastry was for him or this person.

Pei Cheng didn't know, but in the short time of answering the question, the man standing beside him had already guessed all the possibilities.

The door was pushed open, and Qiuyi walked in carefully carrying the food box. She put the food box on the table, saluted carefully, and said, "Hello, Second Master, Second Young Madam."

Pei Cheng lifted his feet, walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and found that the tea was already cold, he frowned, but didn't say anything.

Jiang Linzhi withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng easily opened the lid of the food box, and a faint fragrance wafted out, which was his favorite smell.

But Pei Cheng just glanced at it, didn't eat it, and conveniently put the lid on the box again.

Uncle Jiang asked someone to send a box of pastries to the East Courtyard, nominally for Jiang Linzhi, but the sweet cakes did not suit Jiang Linzhi's taste, but Pei Cheng's.

The meaning of this has to be thought-provoking.

Qiu Yi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Second Master, I have one more thing to do..."

Jiang Linzhi said: "Say."

Qiuyi heard the impatience in Jiang Lin's words, swallowed, a little worried that Jiang Linzhi would take advantage of the situation to vent his anger on himself, so he hurriedly said: "The uncle is hosting a banquet in Beiyuan tonight, and the old lady is also hosting a banquet." will arrive."

"Go down." Jiang Linzhi didn't respond.

Qiuyi didn't get a clear answer, so she didn't dare to leave just like that, but she didn't dare to ask Jiang Linzhi directly, so she could only beat around the bush and said: "For the banquet tonight, the old lady's family will come, so the old lady I hope that the Second Young Madam can bring Master Yanzhi to the past." Pei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a half-smile: "Why did you pass on the old lady's words?"

This sentence didn't point out anything in person, but Qiu Yi broke into a cold sweat from fright, this Pei Cheng's words are really ruthless.

"Go out."

Jiang Linzhi's face was cold, he didn't know who's words made him unhappy.

Qiuyi left without stopping, for fear of being punished by Jiang Linzhi.

Pei Cheng drank another cup of herbal tea. After the tea cooled down, there was always an indescribably bitter taste, which made Pei Cheng a little unhappy, but he poured another cup uncontrollably.

After drinking the third cup of herbal tea in a row, Pei Cheng said carefully, "Second Master, do I need to bring Yanzhi to the banquet in Beiyuan tonight?"

Jiang Linzhi said: "Since the old lady has spoken, it is better not to refute her meaning."

The implication is that they are going.

Pei Cheng heaved a sigh of relief inexplicably, "Second Master, I'm going back first."

Jiang Linzhi didn't say anything, but when Pei Cheng just returned to his yard, before he had time to lift his foot to step over the threshold, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him, and his footsteps stopped.

Dong Lai held the food box just now, and stood in front of Pei Cheng with sweat on his forehead, "Second Young Madam."

Pei Cheng turned sideways, motioning for Donglai to put the food box on the table.

Dong Lai swiftly placed the food box on the table, then took out a bag of tea leaves, and said, "This is tea, the second master saw that the second young lady likes to drink it, so he specially ordered the young one to bring it to the second young lady."

Pei Cheng said, "What else did Second Master say?"

Dong said: "Second Master reminds you to be at Beiyuan on time tonight."

Pei Cheng said: "Go back and tell Second Master, I understand."

Dong Lai nodded, seeing that Pei Cheng had nothing more to ask, he left.
