The Male Wife

The second day of the new year.

Pei Cheng was called to the main hall by the old lady early in the morning, and Jiang Linzhi was with him. The two would talk about something when they met on weekdays, but today they didn't talk about anything, and they were extraordinarily silent compared to usual.

But there is a kind of harmony that respects each other as guests.

Pei Cheng didn't know why the old lady called them to the main hall early in the morning, but when Mrs. Chu came in with her second daughter to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady, Pei Cheng looked at the second Miss Chu non-stop. After sending a dark glance to Jiang Linzhi who was sitting beside him, he suddenly understood what it meant.

Pei Cheng laughed angrily.

He never felt that a man would only guard one person all his life, and live the false life of a pair of people for a lifetime that only appeared in the storybook, so he didn't ask Jiang Linzhi to always have only himself by his side—of course, this It is only based on the premise that Pei Cheng has no feelings for Jiang Lin.

But this doesn't mean that Pei Cheng was still indifferent when he watched the old lady thrust someone into his man's arms.

Pei Cheng doesn't know how to play the game of jealousy.If Jiang Linzhi took the initiative to ask for a concubine, Pei Cheng would not disagree.But if this "concubine" is introduced by a malicious outsider, Pei Cheng will absolutely not agree.

"Old lady, you called us out early this morning. If there is nothing urgent, then we will go back first." Pei Cheng said to the old lady in a cold tone.

The old lady didn't expect Pei Cheng to embarrass herself in front of outsiders, she was a little angry, "Pei Cheng, this Mrs. Chu came to the door, why don't you have any manners at all."

Mrs. Chu is not as direct as the old lady, but she can hardly hear what she said, "You are Pei Cheng? I am Yi Ling's mother, you can call me Aunt Chu. Pei Cheng, this Aunt Chu has I want to ask for your opinion, but I don’t know if you can agree?” “You speak first.” Pei Cheng has an intuition that this is a trap. "In the future, Yi Ling will live in the east courtyard. Can you take good care of Yi Ling for Aunt Chu's sake?" Mrs. Chu didn't think there was anything wrong with letting her daughter marry a tuberculosis man, let alone letting her What's wrong with your own daughter being someone else's concubine.

Jiang Linzhi frowned, but said nothing.

Pei Cheng just found it extremely funny, "This second master wants to take a concubine, but the one he takes is the second young lady of the Chu family. Why don't the second master and I know about this? Also, Aunt Chu, don't talk nonsense, otherwise these words If it gets out, it will have a big impact on the reputation of your second young lady."

Mrs. Chu's face pulled, "How do you act as someone's wife? Why, this Jiang family is a big family, and Second Master Jiang married a concubine and you want to talk too much?"

"Oh?" Pei Cheng didn't take Mrs. Chu seriously. The body of Jiang Lin's sick tuberculosis had spread throughout Huacheng. It's really funny that a woman can be so determined to marry her own daughter to Jiang Linzhi.

Could it be that this woman is not afraid that things will get out, and her Chu family's face is not good-looking?

Mrs. Chu doesn't care about the future now, she is anxious to marry her daughter to the Jiang family!So even if Pei Cheng is unwilling, she will not stop there.

"Cough cough." The old lady coughed dryly, glanced at Pei Cheng like a warning, and said, "You can't say that, the man should be married and the woman should be married. I think Yi Ling and Rin are together. It's nothing. It just so happens that after Yi Ling gets married, she can take care of Rinzhi with you on weekdays."

"The old lady has forgotten." How could Pei Cheng swallow this breath, "The house in the north of the city can't accommodate so many people. If Miss Chu insists on marrying, she will have to follow us after the separation Let's go to the north of the city together to live a hard life, why, Miss Chu willing?"

Madam Chu's complexion changed in line with that of the old lady.

The old lady kept giving Pei Cheng winks, signaling him not to look for trouble at this time.

"When the family was divided, you didn't give us much money. If it's just me and the second master, the money can be used for a while, but if you add another Miss Chu, what will happen in the future? Yes?" Pei Cheng looked at the old lady with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Mrs. Chu asked suspiciously: "Separation? When did you propose the separation?"

The old lady was about to be so pissed off by Pei Cheng, she was about to say something to save her, but she heard Pei Cheng continue: "Maybe Aunt Chu doesn't know. In the future, we can no longer use the Jiang family's food and drink expenses. We are used to living a hard life, but we don't think it's a big deal. If a delicate lady like Miss Chu is crowded with us in the small house with three acres of land, I'm afraid Miss Chu won't be able to bear it."

Mrs. Chu's face turned pale. This Jiangliu family is really a cunning old man. When she sent someone over to discuss with her two days ago, she never mentioned the matter of separating the family.

But Chu Yiling said indifferently: "Yi Ling cares about the second master, as long as she can live with the second master, no matter how hard or tiring life is, Yi Ling doesn't care."

The old lady's face changed from cloudy to sunny.

Pei Cheng took a sip of tea lazily, "Miss Chu, maybe she forgot that I am the second master's main room. Miss Chu doesn't mind squeezing with us, but... I do."

The old lady: "Pei Cheng, you vicious woman...man! Even your own husband takes care of his concubines!"

Madam Chu wanted to say something, but as soon as her eyes fell on Chu Yiling's flat belly, she gritted her teeth and swallowed her reluctance.

Jiang Linzhi's eyes flashed.

Pei Cheng didn't notice this little episode, and Pei Cheng could not wait to throw the teacup in his hand at these people.

Seemingly aware of Pei Cheng's bad mood, Jiang Linzhi glanced sideways at him, the corner of his mouth curled up, and when Pei Cheng looked over, Jiang Linzhi's expressionless face returned.

Chu Yiling looked straight at Jiang Linzhi, his eyes full of affection.If people who don't know see this, they really think that the second young lady of the Chu family has Jiang Linzhi in her heart.

Jiang Linzhi just glanced at Chu Yiling lightly, and said lightly: "I have never met the second miss, let alone know each other, let alone love. The second miss is full of affection, I am afraid that Jiang will not be blessed to bear it." .”

Chu Yiling's eyes turned red, and she said timidly: "Since I saw you at the Lantern Festival one month ago, Yi Ling has secretly promised the second master. If the second master does not accept Yi Ling, then Yi Ling is willing to shave her hair and go home from now on."

Pei Cheng looked at her coldly, and thought to himself, if you are really willing to shave that long black hair, why bother to shave here.

The old lady was not happy, "The concubine will postpone it for a few days beforehand, and Yi Ling will stay at Jiang's house to accompany the old woman and me for these two days, how about it?"

Chu Yiling nodded happily.

Pei Cheng's expression looked like he ate a fly.

Jiang Linzhi still had that indifferent look, and didn't take these things to heart at all.

But in the Jiang family, the old lady can still make the decision. When the old lady opened her mouth, Pei Cheng naturally had no way to refute, and finally could only swallow her breath secretly.

After talking about this matter, Pei Cheng got up to go back, but Jiang Linzhi was left behind by the old lady.

Pei Cheng paused and looked at Jiang Linzhi without any emotion in his eyes.

Jiang Linzhi: "Go back first."

The corner of Pei Cheng's mouth twitched, it was just an arc, without any expression, he turned around and left.

Jiang Linzhi was specially stayed by the old lady because she wanted him to develop a relationship with Chu Yiling.

After Pei Cheng went back, something was wrong with him, his head was empty and he was a little angry.But anger is anger, when it's time for dinner, Pei Cheng still has to accompany Jiang Yanzhi to eat, and after lunch, Pei Cheng took Jiang Yanzhi to the front yard to digest.

It was freezing cold, and there was no place to hang around in the front yard. After walking around a few times on his own, Pei Cheng realized that the little guy's spirit was listless. He hurriedly picked up the little guy and hugged him in his arms , just about to leave, but saw Jiang Sanye standing in the corridor not far away and staring at him.

Pei Cheng was very irritable.

Every time he wandered around Jiang's house, he could see Mr. Jiang, especially near the rockery where it was best to meet in private.Pei Cheng didn't understand that the magistrate's yamen of Third Master Jiang was very busy, and I heard that sometimes he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat.But why can I always run into him every time I am idle and bored walking around?

Jiang Sanye was actually quite surprised, but when he thought of what he heard from the servants when he just came back, he couldn't bear it anymore, walked up directly, and walked in front of Pei Cheng .

The servant who had been following Third Master Jiang didn't react for a while, and when Third Master Jiang was about to walk to Pei Cheng's side, he hurried over holding an umbrella, fearing that the snow would fall on Third Master Jiang.

"I just went to the front hall, and the second brother is chatting with the second Miss Chu." Jiang Sanye didn't shy away from anything, and said directly, "The thing has already happened, and you don't have to."

Pei Cheng knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't think about explaining, "I should go back."

While holding up the umbrella, Er Xi looked at Third Master Jiang curiously, wondering how could this Third Master Jiang have such a good relationship with his master?Is it true that as Xiyuan said, the two people have that kind of relationship in private?

Jiang Sanye said: "If you don't want to, I can tell my mother. But Pei Cheng, if the second brother doesn't want to do this, no one can force him. I can help you once, but I can't help you a second time. "

Pei Cheng: "Third Master. According to the relationship, you should call me Second Sister-in-law instead of calling me by my name directly."

Third Master Jiang was startled.

Pei Cheng didn't want to quarrel with Jiang Sanye to this extent, but if he didn't make it clear to Jiang Sanye about some things, this Jiang Sanye might still be obsessed with it.

"okay, I get it."

Jiang Sanye lowered his eyes and said lightly.

Pei Cheng didn't look at Third Master Jiang, but only looked at Jiang Yanzhi in his arms.The corner of Jiang Sanye's mouth twitched, "Second sister-in-law, I will help you with this matter." Thank you. "

Pei Cheng thought about it, but still didn't refuse.
