Shuqi put half a dessert into his mouth and said vaguely: "Sir, have you come to your senses?" However, this seemed redundant and did not get a response from his companions, because Wu Songsong took advantage of Shuqi's inattention and put the last few pieces of dessert into his mouth.

He did not forget to savour the taste in his mouth, thinking that it was ten or a hundred times more delicious than the snacks in Jingweizhai in the capital.

Before Wu Songsong could say anything, he heard it.

"Miss Xia He, these snacks are delicious. If you prepare these foods in the future, could you please prepare some for my brother and me as well?"

Shuqi said with lingering feelings.

This was not a big deal, Xia He would naturally not refuse, nodded and said: "In the future, don't bother, I will prepare more for the face, I still have to go find my daughter, so I will go first.

As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed and went down the stairs to look for someone.

At this time, only Shuqi and Wu Songsong were left in the hall.

Wu Songsong changed his dull image and said with some gloating, "I see that your forehead is black, it seems that you are going to have a bloody disaster!"

"roll!"

Shuqi swept through the enemy with one move, but Wu Songsong dodged it with a few easy jumps.

He said provocatively: "You have lived in peace for too long, and your leg skills have become quite fancy."

"you!"

At the same time, Song Qingcheng returned to her room feeling annoyed and ashamed. She had to sit at the table and draw the styles of new clothes to distract herself. However, she could not calm down. She felt sad that Pei Huaizhi must have been possessed by a dirty thing and was going crazy.

When she gradually calmed down, she saw the culprit who disturbed the whole river of spring water, walking in gracefully as if nothing had happened. Song Qingcheng was really annoyed. Her watery eyes were filled with anger, and her words were also filled with a bit of uncontrollable coquettishness. With a snap, she put down the jade pen in her hand and said, "Are you done yet?"

Hearing this, Pei Huaizhi raised his eyebrows. He was so angry that he walked forward and placed a large lacquered wooden box in front of Song Qingcheng.

"open to take a look?"

He spoke out loud.

Song Qingcheng didn't know what this person was up to. She always felt that the person in front of her was different from Pei Huaizhi in his previous life. Can temperament change?

In her previous life, Pei Huaizhi was gentle and polite to others, but he always had a sense of detachment and aloofness, as if he were out of touch with the world. It was like the saying that one can only watch from afar. After her rebirth, she saw a different Pei Huaizhi.

I don’t know what loophole led to today’s situation.

Song Qingcheng blinked blankly, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

Could it be that she is the fatal loophole?

Pei Huaizhi patted his furry head from above, as if petting a cat. "What are you thinking about? Open it and take a look," he urged.

Song Qingcheng came back to her senses and followed his words, "What is this?" As she spoke, she opened it. The moment she opened it, Song Qingcheng was stunned where she was.

In front of her were piles and piles of banknotes. In comparison, what Deyang gave her was nothing.

“…What is going on!”

Pei Huaizhi said, "I never knew what Madam likes. It turns out that she likes these yellow and white things. I went south to get some from the silver shop. Now I'll give them to Madam."

These words were said very easily and naturally, showing the wealth and power of Pei Huaizhi. Upon closer listening, one could actually hear a hint of the ruffian air of a child from an aristocratic family in Pei Huaizhi's tone.

Song Qingcheng's heart was bleeding with regret. Was Pei Huaizhi so valuable? Why didn't she know about it when she had been married to him for ten years in her previous life?

Recalling my miserable past life.

There are many people in the Duke's Mansion, and there is not much liquid money available in the account. However, all the expenses of the whole mansion must be paid, and social activities are necessary. However, everyone in the mansion is indifferent to worldly affairs. She remembered that when they were short of money at the end of the month, she had to use her dowry to fill the daily expenses of the Duke's Mansion.

Sometimes, when Pei Huaizhi's cousin Xie Wan Ning and fourth sister Pei Huairu didn't have enough monthly allowance, they would come to her for it. And it was not the first or second time. Moreover, at that time, she always felt that since she was married to Pei Huaizhi, she would be the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, and she should take good care of the younger generation, so she was very selfless.

In fact, she never expected that they were of similar age. She was so stupid at that time. When she finally came to her senses and recognized the person in front of her, he had already become ill from overwork and no medicine could cure him. He was bedridden and died soon after.

It’s too late to regret!

There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but they were all in a flash. The sadness that flashed across his face was well hidden.

She asked with a bitter voice, "Third Master has such a strong family background, why didn't you tell me?" She thought that he would have to deal with the complicated relationships in Nanjing when he went south, so she prepared five thousand taels of silver for him.

It turns out that people don't need it at all.

Self-indulgent!

Pei Huaizhi looked confused for the first time: "You didn't ask me, of course? I'll give it all to you now."

What an irrefutable excuse this was. Could it be that he didn't tell her in his previous life because she didn't ask him? This was quite consistent with Pei Huaizhi's thinking. Thinking of how he had been busy in his previous life trying his best to maintain the dignity of the Duke's Mansion, he almost vomited blood.

She rubbed her smooth forehead, lowered her beautiful eyebrows and sighed:

"Third Master, take it back, I don't want it"

Song Qingcheng closed the lacquered wooden box again and pushed it in front of Pei Huaizhi.

"Why, don't you like it very much?" Pei Huaizhi blinked slowly. He clearly saw the flash of surprise in her star-like eyes when she just opened the lacquered wooden box. Why did she say she didn't like it anymore?

A woman's heart is indeed like a needle in the sea, changing rapidly and unpredictable. He is also displeased that Song Qingcheng always wants to draw a clear line between him and her.

Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly remembered what I said when I went to a teahouse with my colleagues to have tea when I went to Beijing.

He now remembered that a colleague from the Ministry of Rites had said at the table that when it came to saying one thing and thinking another, all the women in the world were the best.

He still remembered what his colleagues said, that when it comes to women, there is an iron rule that never changes, which is that when a woman says "no", it actually means "yes". In the past, he would never take such remarks without factual basis to heart.

But today, it seems to make sense, maybe it's just a bad idea.

"cough cough"

Pei Huaizhi pretended to cough a few times.

Song Qingcheng raised her eyelids and looked at him, only to hear him say: "Once you give something away, there is no reason to take it back. If you don't want it, then throw it away for me!"
