The Male Wife

The atmosphere during the dinner was a bit awkward, especially Hu Xiayun.

When Hu Xiayun first saw Jiang Yanzhi struggling to pick up the ribs with chopsticks, he thought the kid was stupid, and wanted to laugh at Pei Cheng, but was disturbed by Jiang Yanzhi's next actions.

Hu Xiayun glanced at Qi'er who was sitting next to her in displeasure, her eyes were full of sorrow, her son had never given her a dish with chopsticks since he was a child, even if it was a vegetable.

Everyone looked away awkwardly, and they all compared their little boy with Jiang Yanzhi, and finally thought helplessly, although this Jiang Yanzhi is old, he knows how to be filial to his parents, which is great.

"Yanzhi is four years old this year, why haven't he learned how to use chopsticks yet?" came the old lady's voice, there was indifference, but it was more gloating.

The old lady didn't see the moment when Jiang Yanzhi brought food to Pei Cheng, otherwise she would never be so stupid as to tease this matter in front of everyone, after all, it would be too demeaning of her identity.

No one thinks that it is not normal for an old lady who is always against Pei Cheng to find fault with Jiang Yanzhi. In fact, in the eyes of everyone, it is not easy for a wife in the main room to tolerate a child from a concubine's room.

Pei Cheng said expressionlessly: "I used to be in the side courtyard, my health was not good all the time, and I never cared about him. Now that my health is getting better, I just want to put him by my side and watch."

The corner of Hu Xiayun's mouth twitched, what did Pei Cheng mean by what he said? Could it be because they kept leaving him and Jiang Yanzhi in the side courtyard and ignored them?

Pei Cheng's words were really scheming, and the old lady immediately fell silent.

Not long after, the old lady felt sleepy after eating.

Without continuing to hold on, the old lady only explained that Qi'er would come to her yard tomorrow, and then got up and left. During this period, she didn't even look out of the corner of her eye to Jiang Lin's family, which she hated the most.

After the old lady left, the ordinary family dinner was almost over.

Uncle Jiang went back to the study to deal with business, and Hu Xiayun wanted to take Qier back to the house to rest. Master Biao had been Qier's little follower since he was a child.

The old lady's relatives were almost all women's relatives. Because it was getting late, they didn't go home. Instead, they stayed overnight in Hu Xiayun's empty room in the west courtyard. Who would leave tomorrow.

Seeing that Jiang Linzhi hadn't moved yet, Pei Cheng said, "Second Master, it's getting late, it's time to go back and rest."

Jiang Linzhi nodded and walked towards the door first.

Pei Cheng held Jiang Yanzhi's hand, and the two followed Jiang Linzhi, walking back slowly.

After walking a few steps, Pei Cheng heard hurried footsteps behind him, and after a while, the voice of Third Master Jiang came, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, wait a minute."

Pei Cheng turned around.

Third Master Jiang trotted to catch up. He half-bent, looked at Jiang Yanzhi in a daze, and said with a smile, "The last time I saw Yanzhi was four years ago. He has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Pei Cheng touched Jiang Yanzhi's head, and said softly, "It's Uncle San."

Jiang Yanzhi timidly hid behind Pei Cheng, summoned up his courage and said, "Third Uncle.

The corner of Jiang Sanye's mouth twitched, and he took out a good-looking jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Jiang Yanzhi, and said, "This jade is in good shape, let's wear it."

The quality of this jade is really good.And the most important thing is that this piece of jade was sent by Jiang Sanye, which represents another meaning.

Pei Cheng didn't stop him, this was a matter between Jiang Sanye and Jiang Yanzhi, not a husband and wife who should intervene.

What's more, Jiang Linzhi didn't open his mouth to stop him.

Jiang Yanzhi reached out and took the jade pendant. He couldn't see that he was unhappy, so he just said, "Thank you, Uncle San."

Jiang Sanye touched Jiang Yanzhi's head, and as soon as he touched it, Jiang Yanzhi shrank back, resisting Jiang Sanye's approach very much.Jiang Sanye didn't care about anything with a child. He straightened up and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that your health has improved a lot recently."

Jiang Linzhi said: "It's been like this for so many years, there's nothing wrong with it."

Jiang Sanye was a little embarrassed by Jiang Linzhi's words, he coughed dryly, and continued: "There is still business to deal with in the Yamen, I will go back first."

Pei Cheng turned sideways and let Third Master Jiang walk over.

After Jiang Sanye left, Pei Cheng continued to hold Jiang Yanzhi's hand. Before he could walk, he heard Jiang Linzhi who was standing in front of him say, "You are very disappointed."

Not a question, but a certainty.

Jiang Linzhi seems to have misunderstood the relationship between Pei Cheng and Jiang Sanye.

"Second Master is very angry?" Pei Cheng answered the wrong question, did not explain, but said ambiguously: "The jade that the third master told you is of good quality, it is really a great deal."

Jiang Linzhi said "it's pretty good" and continued walking forward without looking back.

Jiang Yanzhi was still thinking about things with his head down, and the next second, he was held in Pei Cheng's arms.

Pei Cheng caught up with Jiang Linzhi, panting a bit, "Second Master still refuses to believe me."

Jiang Linzhi knew what he was talking about, but deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, saying: "If you don't believe it, you won't be living in the East Court now."

Pei Cheng's breathing was unsteady, and this Jiang Linzhi was still playing riddles with him, and he didn't know if he had given up completely, or if he really didn't pay attention to the old lady and Uncle Jiang.

After walking for a while, the three of them stopped at the gate of Pei Cheng's courtyard, and Pei Cheng said, "Second Master, I'll go in first."

Jiang Linzhi gave a "hmm", and after Pei Cheng walked into the yard with Jiang Yanzhi in his arms, he tightened the cloak on his shoulders and walked towards his own yard.

There is only a wall between the two people's yards, but Pei Cheng feels that there is an insurmountable gap between him and Jiang Linzhi, and he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong for him to choose to cooperate with Jiang Linzhi.
