I died tragically in my previous life, and I want to be an empress in my next life

Seeing everyone standing there awkwardly, Madam Pei stepped forward again and said, "Princess, it's windy outside. Please come in and talk."

Pei Zhiyan smiled, she gently held Madam Pei's arm, and said coquettishly, "Grandma still loves Yan'er. Why are you alienated from Yan'er? From now on, you should call me your granddaughter Yan'er."

Madam Pei smiled slightly, but she was a little confused. Wasn't this girl usually very close to Aunt Yun? She even treated her as her own mother. She couldn't get close to her, and she didn't dare to take advantage of her age in front of her. Why was she so affectionate to her today?

However, this is also good, as it can also dampen Yun's arrogance. Although Yun is favored, she is just a concubine after all, and she doesn't know how to restrain herself.

Madam Pei patted the back of Pei Zhiyan's hand lovingly, "Haha, you are so filial, grandma is really happy. Come on, let's go in together."

Pei Zhiyan was talking intimately with Old Madam Pei, and the two of them walked slowly into the mansion.

Lord Pei and Pei Zhixuan followed, while Aunt Yun followed behind awkwardly.

Pei Zhiyan took Madam Pei's arm and walked towards the mansion with small steps, saying, "Grandma, you are old. It would be useless to have no mistress in such a big mansion. Look, there are no rules at all."

Pei Zhiyan glanced back at Aunt Yun as she spoke. Aunt Yun felt uneasy at Pei Zhiyan's gaze. She wondered in her heart, what does this mean? Does this little bitch really want to help her get married?

If this is the case, then aren't my doubts just now too petty? Should I still implement today's plan?

Old Madam Pei followed Pei Zhiyan's gaze and saw that the rules in this mansion were indeed a bit lax. Several servants and maids were doing their work perfunctorily.

"Who said it wasn't? Alas, I, an old woman, am powerless now. It would be great if there was a mistress to take care of the backyard." Mrs. Pei said helplessly.

When they arrived at the main hall, Pei Zhiyan naturally helped Old Madam Pei to sit with her at the first seat. Prime Minister Pei and Pei Zhixuan sat at the lower seat, and Aunt Yun sat down below Pei Zhixuan.

Aunt Yun has always been a person who knows how to tame people. In such occasions, there are servants who are not used, and Aunt Li and Aunt Liu are usually asked to serve. At this time, these two stayed respectfully in the back as usual, silently serving tea.

Aunt Li carefully handed a cup of tea to Pei Zhixuan, "Concubine Xuan, please have some tea."

Pei Zhixuan took the teacup, and suddenly, it slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, splashing water. The boiling hot tea spilled out, and a few drops splashed onto Pei Zhixuan's dress.

She widened her eyes and shouted angrily: "You want to scald me to death with such hot water?!"

Aunt Li was so frightened that she trembled all over and immediately knelt on the ground, saying in a trembling voice, "I dare not, I dare not, concubine, spare my life!"

Pei Zhixuan's face turned pale, and she was obviously extremely angry. She glanced at the broken teacup and the wet dress on the ground, took a deep breath, and then said loudly, "Don't you want to live anymore?!"

Aunt Li kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "I dare not, please spare my life, concubine!"

Pei Zhiyan snorted in her heart, picked up the teacup calmly, and took a sip. She knew that Pei Zhixuan had been holding back her anger for a long time and had nowhere to vent it, so she took it out on Aunt Li.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Yun immediately stood up and shouted at Aunt Li, "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you clean up this place quickly!"

Aunt Li hurriedly picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, while Aunt Yun turned around to comfort Pei Zhixuan, "Concubine, calm down. Don't bother with this kind of person."

At this time, Pei Zhiyan slowly spoke, "Sister, she's just an aunt, why are you so angry with her?"

She turned and looked at Madam Pei again, "Grandma, what did I say? This mansion must have a mistress. Look at what a mess it has become."

Madam Pei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Yan'er is right."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Yun bowed slightly to Pei Zhiyan and smiled apologetically, "It's all because of my poor discipline. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess."

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Aunt Yun indifferently and said, "What's so funny about this? In this mansion, the aunts are not like aunts, and the masters are not like masters."

When Pei Zhiyan said this, Aunt Yun's face turned red and white. Although she was now in charge of all matters in the inner courtyard of Pei's mansion, she had not yet been appointed as the legitimate ruler, so her status was not legitimate.

At this time, everyone in the room was full of doubts. Pei Zhiyan mentioned the matter of being the mistress of the house twice when she returned home this time. What did it mean?

"Ahem, ahem," Prime Minister Pei finally spoke at this time, his tone somewhat serious, "Well, today we finally get together as a family, let's not talk about these things that spoil the fun."

He waved his hand gently, and then said to Aunt Yun, "Go and see how the lunch preparations are going."

"Yes, I'll go and take a look right away." Aunt Yun bowed slightly, then turned around and left lightly.

Everyone sat for a while and exchanged a few words of greeting, then Aunt Yun came over to invite everyone to the main hall for dinner.

Pei Zhiyan's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled secretly in her heart. The real show was about to begin.

From the front hall to the main hall, one has to walk through a long corridor, so Pei Zhiyan naturally supported Old Madam Pei and walked in front.

Halfway through the walk, Pei Zhixuan suddenly called her, "Sister, wait a moment."

Pei Zhiyan stopped and looked back at Pei Zhixuan.

Pei Zhixuan came forward, her eyes flickering, "Sister, I have something to tell you."

Pei Zhiyan nodded slightly, indicating that she should continue.

Pei Zhixuan glanced at everyone, and Aunt Yun understood and stepped forward to say to everyone, "Then let's go first. The princess and the concubine may have some private conversations between sisters."

Everyone nodded and slowly continued to move forward.

Pei Zhixuan glanced at Yinliu again, and Pei Zhiyan signaled Yinliu to leave as well.

"Sister, I know that ever since you entered the palace, the prince has ignored you. You must be feeling uncomfortable." Pei Zhixuan said with her eyebrows lowered.

Pei Zhiyan snorted in her heart, knowing that this was just acting, but she didn't want to expose it, so she just looked at her coldly.

Pei Zhixuan continued, "If you are angry, just vent it on me."

Pei Zhixuan said as she grabbed Pei Zhiyan's hand and slapped it on her face.

"What are you doing?" Pei Zhiyan was startled by her action and immediately retracted her hand, and the two of them started to pull each other.

"I just wanted to let my sister vent her anger, but I didn't expect her to be so angry." Pei Zhixuan said as she took two steps forward.

Suddenly, she screamed and fell to the ground. Everyone turned around and Aunt Yun rushed over.
