Chapter 63 contains the sister-in-law's love, but not much.
Pei Rujing's temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast. Once she started shopping, she forgot all about the unhappiness Pei Ruyan had brought her and enthusiastically dragged Wen Zongji around everywhere.
The two played until the sun was setting before taking a carriage back to the Marquis's residence.
After returning to Yunguang Courtyard, Wen Zongji went to his study first.
Inside the room, Granny Feng looked at the beaming Pei Rujing and advised, "Princess, the most important thing for your son-in-law is the imperial examination in February. If you want him to accompany you, it's not too late after the examination."
Pei Rujing looked through the things she had bought that day with great interest: "Don't worry, Granny, I know everything."
Granny Feng sighed.
During dinner, Pei Rujing was still excited and chattered to Wen Zongji about her shopping experience that day.
Seeing how happy she was, Wen Zongji said, "I'll accompany the county princess to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival."
"Okay, okay."
Pei Rujing immediately began to look forward to the Lantern Festival.
Wen Zongji smiled and said, "My mother is kind and tolerant and will not restrict the county princess. She can leave the manor whenever she wants."
Pei Rujing nodded: "I know."
Having played mahjong with Madam Jiang several times and left the mansion many times, Pei Rujing knew that Madam Jiang would not cause trouble in this matter.
After finishing his dinner, Wen Zongji put down his chopsticks and returned to his study to continue reading.
Pei Rujing pointed to the things she had just separated and said, "Qinghe, take these to the Jade Pavilion and say they are for the Second Miss."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Granny Feng smiled and said, "So the county princess bought a gift for the second young lady."
Pei Rujing picked up the manuscript that Wen Zongji had written yesterday: "I will keep his sister in mind for him."
Granny Feng then asked, "When we go out of the manor for the Lantern Festival, should we take the Second Young Lady with us?"
Pei Rujing shook her head without hesitation: "No!"
Granny Feng: "..."
He has his sister-in-law's love, but not much.
……
The next day
Wen Zongji practiced his health-preserving boxing early in the morning. After Pei Rujing got up, he had breakfast with her and then went into his study to read.
Pei Rujing was reading a storybook written by Wen Zongji in her room.
Qinghe came in and reported, "Princess, the Second Young Lady has arrived."
Pei Rujing put down her storybook: "Please invite her in."
Wen Shuyu walked in and thanked Pei Rujing, "Thank you for the gift, sister-in-law."
Pei Rujing gestured for her to sit down: "Just some small gifts."
Wen Shuyu was very happy: "This is the first time Shuyu has received so many gifts."
God knows how excited she was after receiving the gift from Pei Rujing last night; she didn't sleep well all night and came over early this morning to thank her.
Upon hearing this, Pei Rujing became even more certain that Wen Shuyu was a pitiful little thing: "Your third brother is, after all, a man, and there are differences between men and women. In the past, he inevitably had some oversights. In the future, if there is anything at Yucui Pavilion, just send someone to find me."
Wen Shuyu nodded emphatically: "Shuyu will remember."
Ever since she overheard Pei Rujing's intention to have someone beat up Zhao Hongrong, Wen Shuyu has greatly admired Pei Rujing and naturally obeys her every word.
Wen Shuyu glanced at the manuscript in front of Pei Rujing and asked curiously, "Is this a newly published storybook?"
Pei Rujing was taken aback, and subconsciously put the storybook away, her words evasive: "It's a new one, but it's not very good... I'll have someone send you a new one when a better one comes out."
Pei Rujing genuinely cares for her poor little sister, but she is still the possessive county princess she always was.
The storybook that Wen Zongji wrote specifically for her, she would never show to anyone.
Wen Shuyu believed her and obediently said, "If my sister-in-law thinks it doesn't look good, then I don't like it either."
Pei Rujing laughed; this younger sister was so easy to fool.
"Your Highness, your eldest aunt has arrived."
Pei Rujing naturally had someone invite her in.
It's strange, my two younger sisters came one after the other today.
Wen Shuxuan wasn't particularly surprised to see Wen Shuyu there.
"Third Sister-in-law, I've come to thank you."
Pei Rujing asked in confusion, "What?"
Wen Shuxuan laughed and said, "Zhao Hongrong was beaten up. His face is swollen like a pig's head. I heard it's quite serious. He'll probably have to stay at home for ten days to half a month to recover."
Pei Rujing had almost forgotten about it: "It seems that Second Brother has accomplished his task."
Wen Shuxuan said, "My father-in-law is sending people to investigate. Should we inform Young Master Pei?"
Pei Rujing waved her hand: "No need, he's very skilled, he definitely won't leave any evidence."
Wen Shuxuan nodded: "That's right. The Second Young Master is from the Infantry Battalion, responsible for the security of the inner city. He knows best how to teach someone a lesson without giving them any leverage."
The Infantry Commander's Office was responsible for the security of the entire capital and its suburbs, as well as the defense of the capital, wielding immense power.
Wen Shuxuan looked at Wen Shuyu: "Does Second Sister still enjoy reading as much as before?"
Wen Shuyu nodded shyly: "Thank you for the books you gave me before, big sister."
Wen Shuxuan smiled and said, "It's just a few books."
They were the only two daughters in the Marquis's mansion, but because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, the two were not very close, but their relationship was still acceptable. Wen Shuxuan was the one in the Marquis's mansion who had more contact with Wen Shuyu.
Pei Rujing looked at the two of them and said, "Since you're both here, let's play mahjong."
Wen Shuyu exclaimed, "Ah! But we're still short one person."
Pei Rujing instructed Dongxiu, "Go and invite my sister-in-law here."
Mrs. Zhong was also obsessed with mahjong; she would always come if invited to play.
As Pei Rujing had expected, the Zhong family arrived soon.
Wen Shuxuan asked, "Sister-in-law, didn't Wen-ge cling to you today?"
Madam Zhong sat down and skillfully began arranging the cards: "I'll send him to my mother-in-law's place, so he can keep Rou-jie company."
After saying this, the two women looked at each other and smiled.
I recognized them by their eyes; they were both people who abandoned their children for mahjong.
Seiin
Looking at Wen-ge'er and Rou-jie'er playing happily in front of her, Madam Jiang turned to look at Granny Liu and said, "These two are really something, leaving their children to me. I've become their babysitter."
Granny Liu chuckled, "Isn't this how it is in ordinary families? Besides, doesn't Madam enjoy having her children and grandchildren around her?"
Madam Jiang sighed, "That's true. I've noticed that Xuan'er's complexion has been getting better lately. As long as she gets better, I, as her mother, will do anything."
"When I married the county princess, I was both happy and worried. I was happy because marrying the county princess was a rare and good thing, but I was worried that having such a high-status daughter-in-law would not be conducive to the stability of the household."
"Now it seems that although the county princess has a bit of a temper, she is not ambiguous on matters of principle. This time, she was willing to help Xuan-jie teach Zhao Hongrong a lesson, which shows that she considers us as family."
Chiang Kai-shek was very pleased with this.
As the mistress of the household, her greatest concern was the stability of the household.
Although Pei Rujing didn't come to pay her respects morning and evening, she also never caused her any trouble.
Granny Liu also sighed with emotion: "Yes, all of this is already excellent."
As Jiang's confidante, Pei Rujing lived in constant fear during the early days after her marriage, terrified that she might cause trouble in the mansion one day.
Ok!
The worst didn't happen!
