Pei Jibai came out of the secret room and strode straight to Mrs. Pei's residence in front.
When the bodyguard saw that he was quarreling with the old lady after eleven o'clock in the evening, he immediately blocked his way: "Second Young Master, it is not appropriate for you to go now."
"Not appropriate?" Pei Jibai sneered: "Why is it inappropriate?"
"The old lady has just laid down. You go over now and disturb her. She is a light sleeper. Once she makes a noise, she won't be able to sleep well for the rest of the night."
Pei Jibai pursed his lips and scolded in a deep voice: "What you said is that you think about the old lady in everything, but the person in charge of the secret room is also a human being. Who thinks about the sister-in-law?"
The bodyguard fell silent for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
Pei Jibai continued to walk forward.
"Second Young Master, you can't go like this!" The bodyguard blocked his way again.
Pei Jibai's eyes flickered, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. He stopped, glanced at the bodyguard and said, "I know you are afraid that I will disturb grandma, so let's discuss it."
Only then did the bodyguard realize that the second young master was not really going to quarrel with the old lady, but was taking the opportunity to make conditions.
When he came to his senses, it seemed it was already too late.
"Second Young Master, please don't embarrass me."
"I'm not embarrassing you, you are embarrassing me." Pei Jibai said solemnly: "I want to go to my wife to talk about my sister-in-law's dinner, but you are stopping me and not letting me go, right?"
The bodyguard was startled: "I..."
"I've been locked up for more than a day and a night without giving me a mouthful of food. It will take two days soon." Pei Jibai said solemnly: "Do we have to kill someone?"
"The young mistress said she wouldn't eat it," the bodyguard argued.
"Shut up!" Pei Jibai shouted coldly: "Don't forget, who is the heir to the entire Pei family?"
The bodyguard's face turned pale, and he probably guessed what the second young master was going to say.
"My eldest brother is the heir to the Pei family. Now you have offended not only my eldest brother, but also me. Grandma is a person half buried in the loess." Pei Jibai looked at the other party indifferently: "The so-called person who knows the current affairs is a hero.
Weigh the pros and cons of your situation."
The bodyguard knew that he was being threatened.
He really didn't dare to offend Pei Liyan, but the old lady was not a fool's errand.
"Send the food quietly to the secret room." Pei Jibai said: "I can pretend that nothing happened tonight, and I won't bother grandma, but if the food doesn't go into the secret room, then I'm sorry, no one will do it tonight.
Fell asleep."
The bodyguard was a little embarrassed when he heard this. "If the old lady knew about it, she would definitely be angry."
"That's your business. How to keep the old lady from knowing is also what you should do." Pei Jibai kicked the ball back. "I can tell you that my elder brother can hold grudges better than me. No matter what his relationship with my sister-in-law is, but
Now, my sister-in-law belongs to him. If you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face, you can do whatever you want!”
"Second Young Master, I will send someone to deliver food to Young Mistress."
Pei Jibai snorted softly: "What are you doing so early? I'd rather serve you with wine and food."
"Yes, right away!"
"Forget it, I'll deliver it myself." Pei Jibai immediately called and asked someone to deliver the food.
In less than ten minutes, the exquisite food box was delivered to the door of the secret room.
The door opened.
Pei Jibai walked in.
Qiao Rui was stunned when she saw Pei Jibai coming in. She sat up cross-legged on the bed, looked at Pei Jibai, and said, "Why are you here again?"
"I've secured some benefits for my sister-in-law. Let's have something to eat, sister-in-law." Pei Jibai took the food box in, opened it, and placed it on the bare bed.
Qiao Rui saw the exquisite food box in front of her, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes: "The old lady doesn't know you brought me food, does she?"
Pei Jibai was stunned by the question and looked a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said, "I can't hide anything from my sister-in-law."
Qiao Rui suddenly realized, let's just say, how could a stubborn old lady like the old lady be merciful?
The bodyguard spoke respectfully to Pei Jibai and Qiao Rui at the door: "Eldest Mistress, Second Young Master, we will leave the door unlocked for now. You hurry up, the old lady's people are also watching us all the time!"
Qiao Rui looked at the door, where there were now three bodyguards, all blocking the door.
It must have taken a lot of trouble for Pei Jibai to be able to deliver these foods. No matter what, this kindness is very precious.
She glanced at the food, then her eyes fell on Pei Jibai's face, and said quietly: "Do you know, you may be affected by bringing me food."
"It doesn't matter." Pei Jibai said, "Anyway, even if you don't eat it now, it's too late for me to take it out, and you will definitely end up with the meal. So, sister-in-law, don't think about anything and just eat the food."
Qiao Rui nodded. "In that case, I won't be polite. I'm really hungry."
"Drink the soup first." Pei Jibai handed the soup to her. "You have been hungry for too long. Drink some soup to moisten it before eating anything else."
"Thank you." Qiao Rui thanked her again and drank the soup carefully. The warm soup was very comfortable in her mouth.
Pei Jibai watched her eating, then turned to look at the three bodyguards who had been staring at the two of them at the door, and said in a deep voice: "Are they watching her so closely, are you afraid that we will grow wings and run out?"
"Second Young Master, of course I don't mean this, but we cannot bear the responsibility." The bodyguards were also in a difficult position and could not afford to offend anyone.
Qiao Rui said: "Ji Bai, they can't help themselves, there is no need to embarrass them."
"Sister-in-law, they are all bullying you, but you still speak up for them. It's so bullying." Pei Jibai couldn't help but say.
"I'm just discussing the matter." Qiao Rui said calmly: "I'm not someone who is easy to bully."
The bodyguards all looked at Qiao Rui. Touched by her words, they looked at her and lowered their heads in shame.
Pei Jibai glanced at them and warned in a deep voice: "You'd better keep your mouth shut about tonight's affairs."
"Don't worry, Second Young Master." The bodyguards assured together: "We don't want to cause trouble."
"It's best to do this, otherwise, you will just wait for my revenge." Pei Jibai said in a deep voice.
The bodyguards shrank and became silent.
"Get out yet." Pei Jibai cursed.
The bodyguards then helped close the door, leaving space for them.
There were only two people in the secret room, Pei Jibai and Qiao Rui.
"What do you want to say to me?" Qiao Rui saw that Pei Jibai had something to say as soon as he dismissed the bodyguard.
Pei Jibai nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, what exactly are you thinking? I heard from my servants that you would rather die than surrender."
"There is no reason to surrender." Qiao Rui smiled lightly: "I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."
"This is not really news. Grandma said it herself." Pei Jibai said, "But sister-in-law, the whole family is now spreading the word that grandma has met her opponent, and you are really going to compete with her."
"It's not that I'm in trouble, I just don't know where I went wrong." Qiao Rui smiled, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "I'm done eating, you can go back quickly."
"You eat very little, please eat more."
"I'm full!" Qiao Rui smiled.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the old lady of the Pei family, Sister-in-law Li, and housekeeper Pei were all standing at the door.
Mrs. Pei smiled coldly: "What is this? My sister-in-law hooking up with my brother-in-law?"
