Princess of Han

Xu Peiyao had never been to Xu's house, so she was completely unclear about the layout of Xu's house, but this did not prevent her from being suspicious.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Chen is the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family and the clan's wife. The yard she lives in, apart from the old Mrs. Chen's yard before, is hers the most.Not to mention that it should be the best, brightest and most beautiful, nor should it be too far away from the main house.Why did the more they walked, the more remote the surrounding scenery became?

This is not going to the courtyard of a lady in power, it is like the residence of a person who made a mistake and was sent to a side courtyard.

Sleeve naturally noticed it too, with puzzled eyes, and lowered his voice: "Miss, this doesn't look like the way to Mrs. Chen."

"It's not like that."

"Miss, should we go back? What the hell is this Chen family doing? Are you afraid that Mr. Chen will be dissatisfied when he comes back?"

Xu Peiyao didn't speak.

She looked at the aunt who was leading the way, her eyes flashed.

"Here we are. Miss Xu, please wait here. I'll go in and report to Madam." The woman in front led them into a courtyard, turned around and said to the three girls behind, without waiting for her sleeves and clothes. After asking a question, she hurried in, presumably to see the owner of the yard.

"What? The Chen family is really well-behaved. They just leave the lady here like this? I thought they were eager to bring the lady here because they wanted to be more intimate with the lady. Speech, what do you think we are in the Vulture Palace? It's as if you want to curry favor with them. It's not just a rich man from Yongfeng Township, our palace master..."

"Luo Yi!" Xiuyi secretly looked at the eyes of the palace master, and found that the palace master's face was obviously darkened, and immediately scolded his sister who was full of righteous indignation and outspoken.

Can Vulture Palace's name be casually talked about?Before the palace lord has clarified their identities as members of the Vulture Palace, it is absolutely impossible to spoil the palace lord's major affairs with these small details.

Nowadays, ordinary people may not know the existence of the Vulture Palace, but in the turbulent world, their Vulture Palace is quite famous.Even the famous Mingjiao is afraid of them.

This is when the palace lord is not in Misty Peak, and when the palace lord personally presides over the affairs of the Vulture Palace, it will be the time when their Vulture Palace will shine in the whole world.

Taking a weak look at the expressionless Palace Master, Luo Yi curled his lips and muttered unwillingly: "Sister, I understand."

Xu Peiyao closed the eyes of the two girls beside her, and looked at the main house on the three steps, her tone was very flat.

"Others are masters, and we are guests. Anyway, I just came here today, and I will go back later. Why be angry, it's pointless." Now she has a lot of things to do every day, and there are many things to think about. Feel free to sulk at the attitude of strangers?

Coming here today was a mistake in itself.

"Miss, this Chen family's attitude is too annoying. When I return to Chuzhou and see Mr. Chen San, I must scold him. Looking at his family, what does this mean? It's my attitude towards their future mistress ?"

Xu Peiyao smiled but said, "Aren't you afraid of Chen Youliang? Who told me before that her legs would go limp when she saw Chen Youliang?"

"Miss, you are still making fun of me when people complain about you?" Luo Yi stomped his feet, his face was ashamed, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The young lady's expression just now made her feel apprehensive and uneasy.

Xu Peiyao was smiling when she suddenly heard footsteps coming out of it.The next moment, the aunt who brought them here reappeared at the door and smiled at them outside the door, neither enthusiastic nor too cold.

"Miss Xu, Madam has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

"Thank you." Wei Wei blessed Fu Li and performed due etiquette, Xu Peiyao walked in calmly and generously with her sleeves and Luo Yi under the watchful eyes of the maids serving in the room.

As soon as she walked into the main hall, she saw a beautiful young woman who was not too old, wearing a bright red dress, with a high bun on her head, with golden steps inserted on the left and right sides, her appearance was extremely luxurious.It's just that this gleaming outfit lacks a bit of grace and elegance, and is a bit more vulgar.

Xu Peiyao's eyes passed from the young woman's face to her wrist, which was holding a handkerchief to gently cover her mouth, and the heavy gold bracelets on it jingled with the young woman's movements.

"Ma'am, Miss Xu is here." The aunt who brought Xu Peiyao in walked gently to the young woman's side and reported respectfully.

The young woman looked over, and when her eyes fell on the girl who walked in, her eyes shrank.

Xu Peiyao frowned slightly.

Not the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family!This woman is very strange, she has never seen it before.

Xu Peiyao didn't show what was going on in her heart, but her etiquette remained unchanged: "Madam is well. I don't know why Madam wants to see Peiyao?"

The young woman came back to her senses, covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

"This child is so polite and good-looking. As a woman, I can't take my eyes off it. No wonder our Sanlang misses it so much. If it were me, I wouldn't forget it either. "

The words seemed to be compliments, but the woman's eyes were not very gentle.Also, when a young daughter-in-law said these words, it always felt full of sarcasm.

Xu Peiyao didn't smile, but looked into the woman's eyes.

"I don't know who the lady is?"

"I..." The young woman sitting high in the hall pursed her lips and smiled with a slight smug expression, and was about to answer.He didn't want to, but was embarrassed by a sudden questioning.

"You are not Mrs. Chen, who are you? What is your intention to trick our lady?"

The corners of Xu Peiyao's mouth twitched, almost laughing.But immediately, she restrained the expression on her face, tilted her head slightly and scolded in a low voice: "Luo Yi, get out! We are visiting the Chen family, so we mustn't be too rude." After talking about her maid, she raised her head sincerely again. He looked up at the woman above, with an apologetic tone.

"This lady is really sorry. We country girls don't know how many rules we have. I don't know what we did wrong. I hope Madam will not take it to heart." Even if you take it to heart, I don't care.

The aunt next to the young woman snorted coldly: "It's good to know that there are no rules. We women are kind-hearted. When we heard that Miss Xu came back, I wanted to see her. Why did you say that you have ulterior motives? You must have a girl." How can you bluff. You girls haven't spoken yet."

Not daring to preach to Xu Peiyao, the aunt looked at the two women in sleeve clothes and Luo Yi with a serious face and frowning.

Luo Yi is not a vegetarian either: "As a young lady's girl, she naturally has to take her safety into consideration, how can she let the young lady do everything herself? It's not very honorable for you to pick our young lady here under the name of Mrs. Chen's wife!"

"When did I assume the name of the eldest lady? Little girl, don't just talk about it."

"Why am I talking nonsense? If you didn't say that Mrs. Chen wanted to see my lady, how could we come here with you?"

The aunt raised her lips: "You also said that it is my wife, the mistress of the Chen family, not the eldest lady."

Luo Yi didn't understand, her mind didn't turn around for a while, Xu Peiyao's eyes dimmed, but she understood.

Before, she had guessed that this young woman might be the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family.Now, not much surprise.

The young woman who was contradicted had an ugly face.

These years, she has not been unpopular in the Chen family, even the servants of the Chen family have more or less overestimated her.It's just that she didn't expect that a girl from a rural village would ignore her so much.Immediately, her desire to see that Miss Xu suddenly became a little less serious.

So what about Chen Sanlang's unmarried wife?She had a vicious look, which already displeased her.

Although she was a little bit uneasy, but thinking of the reason for picking up the girl from the Xu family this time, Mrs. Zhao endured it again and again, with a gentle smile on her face again.

She reprimanded her dowry girl in a cold voice, then turned her head and waved to the girl who was calm and uneasy.

"Miss Xu, come here, let me take a look."

Xu Peiyao lowered her eyes and stood there quietly.After a while, when the smile on Zhao's face was almost gone, she walked over with light lotus steps.

"lady!"

"What a beautiful child. Come on, I don't have any expensive gifts when we meet for the first time. This is a bracelet I have worn for many years, so I give it to you as a gift." The woman grabbed Xu Peiyao's hand and touched hers. The skin is really supple and smooth, as delicate as a flower bone.An inexplicable emotion flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she smiled and took off the gold bracelet from her hand, and put it on the girl's hand.

Gold is pure gold, and for those who are on a tight budget, this meeting ceremony is indeed a good one.But……

Luo Yi pouted.

It's really vulgar, and she dares to show such things, her lady is not a gaudy person.

But Xu Peiyao didn't dare to accept it: "Woman, your gift is too expensive, Peiyao dare not accept it, please take it back."

"Take it. It's my heart."

The girl shook her head: "You don't get paid for nothing, how can you make a woman spend so much money!"

The two pushed back and forth, but Xu Peiyao was determined not to accept it, while Zhao thought she would beg for the girl in front of her later, so even though her heart ached, she could only pretend to be generous.

At this moment, a servant from outside ran in in a panic.

"Ma'am, it's not good, the eldest lady brought a lot of people over."

"what?"

————————————————————————

Outside the gate of Chen Mansion, a middle-aged man got off his horse.He looked up at the plaque of the Chen Mansion and settled down.

Patting the dust on his body due to rushing, the man walked towards the porter standing at the gate of the Chen Mansion with his head held high.

"Guo Zixing is in Dingyuan, Haozhou, and I'm here to pay a visit to Yuanwai Chen. I want to pass on a message."
