Qiao Rui looked at Pei Liyan with a half-smile.
When Butler Pei saw Qiao Rui turn her attention to Pei Liyan, he smiled slightly and said, "The old man said that the young lady just came from the country and she may not know the rules yet, so I'll let Miss Xiang take my place!"
"Pfft!" Qiao Rui suddenly burst into laughter.
Butler Pei was stunned again. He could not see a trace of jealousy or embarrassment on Qiao Rui's face.
It was as if she wasn't angry at all, but looked at herself as if she were laughing.
Butler Pei has been on the battlefield for a long time and is used to various situations. He smiled and said: "What are you laughing at, young lady?"
"It's nothing." Qiao Rui said with a faint smile: "I just sighed that this wealthy mansion has so many rules. I have seen the Pei family's upbringing and etiquette. It's good. Let's continue to carry it forward."
Although she spoke calmly and without any emotion, Butler Pei still heard that she was mocking the Pei family for not knowing the rules and etiquette.
Indeed, it is only in line with etiquette for the first dance to begin with the heirs of the Pei family and his wife.
But the old man insisted on this arrangement, and he came to convey the spirit.
But I didn't expect to be ridiculed like this by the young mistress.
Looking at Master Yan again, it seemed as if he had expected it and was not in a hurry at all.
Butler Pei also smiled and said: "The Pei family naturally has its own etiquette and rules. It has its own reasons for being able to stand in Qingcheng for so many years."
"I can tell." Qiao Rui said calmly.
"Master Yan, please." Butler Pei said again.
Pei Liyan glanced at Butler Pei and said, "Butler Pei, go and tell grandpa that the dance will be held today, and Qiao Rui and I will dance together!"
Qiao Rui was stunned, but she didn't expect him to say that.
Butler Pei didn't have any special emotions. He just smiled and asked, "Can young mistress know how to dance?"
Qiao Rui smiled and said nothing.
Pei Liyan said in a deep voice: "Whether she can dance or not is her business. Whether she can dance or not is the etiquette of the Pei family. Go tell grandpa. If the Pei family doesn't want others to laugh at others, then they should act according to the rules."
Butler Pei was startled, then asked with a smile: "Young Master Yan, are you sure you said that?"
Pei Liyan looked at Butler Pei seriously and said, "I'm very sure."
"Okay." Pei Yi nodded, then turned and left.
When leaving, he gave Qiao Rui a meaningful look.
Qiao Rui also met Butler Pei's eyes calmly, and even responded with a meaningful smile.
Pei Yi left quickly and went back to report.
He whispered what just happened in the old man's ear. The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, showing no emotion or anger, and just asked, "Li Yan really said that?"
"Yes." Butler Pei nodded.
Old Mrs. Pei turned her head and said to the old man: "What's going on with Li Yan? I'm waiting for him to dance with Xiangxiang, why haven't you come over yet?"
When Qiao Xiang heard that he was going to dance with Pei Liyan, he was very happy in his heart and his face was filled with joy.
She and Pei Liyan have always been the first choice couple in the old lady's heart. How could this happen if Qiao Rui hadn't stepped in.
If he dances with Pei Liyan today, then she still has status in the Pei family.
Before he came over proudly, he heard Mr. Pei say: "Xiangxiang, go find Qiu He. I saw that girl came just now."
"Okay Grandpa Pei." Qiao Xiang immediately got up and went to find someone.
Mr. Pei glanced at the old lady.
The old lady understood immediately. "You took Xiangxiang away because you had something to say?"
"If Li Yan doesn't dance with Xiang Xiang, that girl Qiao Rui even made fun of our proposal, saying that our Pei family doesn't know the rules and has no etiquette." The old man said slowly.
When Mrs. Pei heard this, her face immediately darkened. "Oh, she is so brave!"
"She is indeed very courageous." It's not like the old man has never learned this before.
At this time, the second old lady of the Pei family had just been suppressed by Qiao Xiang. She felt unhappy and couldn't help but said: "Brother, sister-in-law, you want me to say that for this first dance, Li Yan should dance with his wife. This is the right way."
rule."
"Second younger brother and sister." Old Mrs. Pei glanced at her and said, "It's not like Qiao Liu just came back from the countryside. She doesn't know how to dance at all. If she wants to dance, won't she lose our family's face?"
"We are all our own, and we can't leave the Pei family if we are embarrassed." The second old lady smiled. "Sister-in-law, besides, we didn't ask Qiao Liu if she knows how to do it!"
"Pei Yi?" the old man said in a deep voice.
"The young lady didn't say whether it would happen or not."
"Don't worry about her, I will arrange it myself later!" Mrs. Pei said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Pei Yi said no more.
Here, Qiao Rui and Pei Liyan looked at each other.
Pei Liyan looked at her look and frowned. "You are very courageous."
Qiao Rui smiled lightly: "Thanks for the compliment, it's just average."
Pei Liyan looked around the audience. The two of them were being stared at, so it was not good to go upstairs directly.
After all, Qiao Rui had just arrived at Pei's house, and now everyone was looking at her, wondering if this woman was so attractive that Pei Liyan could choose her.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to the study today." Pei Liyan said solemnly: "I will help you find those old photos of grandpa later."
Qiao Rui was stunned, she didn't expect him to be so kind.
She couldn't help but have some doubts.
"You don't have to doubt it. I told you to look for it for you, so I will find it naturally." Pei Liyan said quietly again and looked at the whole audience: "Everyone is looking at you."
Qiao Rui also looked at everyone, but felt a little weird in his heart. He actually knew what he was looking for. How could he know?
At this time, in the garden, countless men and women were looking at the two of them, each wearing a luxurious dress.
The men were in suits and leather shoes, and the ladies were in red and green dresses, but they were all staring at him and Pei Liyan.
Qiao Rui was still in a daze when Pei Liyan's voice came to her ears. "Come on, let me introduce you to your relatives and friends."
After Pei Liyan finished speaking, he grabbed her wrist.
Qiao Rui subconsciously wanted to withdraw.
The man whispered: "Don't move around, it will embarrass me, and you won't want the photo either."
Qiao Rui became quiet for a moment and stopped struggling.
But she was cursing in her heart that this man was so annoying that he actually threatened her.
She glared at him angrily, and Pei Liyan happened to look at her too, with a smile in his eyes.
This scene, in the eyes of others, gives them a different impression. They only feel that Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui are flirting with each other.
As the heir to the Pei family, the man's appearance and talent are outstanding, there is no doubt about this.
And the one he chose was not only free from dirt and debris today, but also had a good temperament.
Especially the slender white neck, like a swan, and the graceful figure is even more exciting.
The two of them stood together and looked so matched, like a perfect couple.
Qiao Rui, on the other hand, was not nervous at all. He accepted everyone's gazes generously, with a calm smile on his face, which made people surrender unconsciously.
While everyone was surprised, Pei Liyan said in a deep voice: "Brothers and sisters, let me introduce to you. This is Qiao Rui, my wife, Pei Liyan."
