The next day, Ye Xi and Pei Zhu both slept very late. Ye Xi always did so at home. As for Pei Zhu, they all thought it was because he and Ye Xin drank too much last night, so no one bothered them.

After Ye Xi got up, she thought about what happened last night and first blamed Pei Zhu, but Pei Zhu didn't take it seriously and explained that this was the ultimate happiness in human relationships and that they were husband and wife and no one could say anything if they knew about it, which made Ye Xi angry.

During breakfast, Ye Xi secretly observed the expressions of Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye, and found that they were very natural, so she thought that they should not have been discovered. However, they did not know that their actions last night could not be hidden from others.

When the five of them were eating at the same table, Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye looked calm as old dogs, but Ye Xin was different. Although he was very drunk last night, he was mostly sober by midnight. When he went to the toilet, he inadvertently heard the noise and his face turned red. Now seeing Pei Zhu, he still thought, this brother-in-law is good.

Pei Zhu was shameless to begin with. When he saw the look in Ye Xin's eyes, as a man, he naturally knew what the other person was thinking. Not only did he not feel embarrassed, he actually smiled knowingly at Ye Xin, as if to say: See, I told you that I would not let your sister suffer any injustice.

Ye Xi had been secretly glancing at her parents' faces, thinking that they were fine, but when she saw the two of them making eye contact, her face suddenly became unnatural. She lightly kicked Pei Zhu's foot, telling him not to go too far. Pei Zhu got the message, and knew that he couldn't go too far in front of his parents-in-law, so he straightened his face. But Ye Xin kept going on and on, which made Ye Xi even angrier, so she stretched out her leg and kicked Ye Xin.

Ye Xin yelled without disguising, pretending to be in pain, and said, "Sister, you are so heavy-handed. You don't feel sorry for your brother at all. It's true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out."

Ye Xi glared at him angrily: "You are the water that has been poured out."

As they were talking, the two siblings started to fight without any restraint. When Mr. Ye saw that his son-in-law was still there, he thought that the two siblings' behavior was unacceptable, so he coughed heavily a few times to remind them. Mrs. Ye also pulled Ye Xi with her hands under the table, asking her to behave herself, and only then did the two of them calm down.

Pei Zhu not only didn't mind, but also smiled at the two of them. It turned out that Ye Xi behaved like this at her mother's house, no wonder she was also lively and lovely at his place. Seeing the two siblings from the same mother having such a good relationship, he was very envious. Unlike him, even if he wanted to go back to Pei's house, he had to send a letter in advance and get permission before he could go back, otherwise it would make Pei's mother unhappy.

Pei Zhu couldn't understand it when he first knew that Master Ye had only married one wife in his life. In his opinion, Master Ye had some family background and it was completely possible for him to take one or two concubines, but he didn't. Now he can understand it, because a harmonious family is the key to success, and this kind of happiness is something he can't get. If it weren't for avoiding the suspicion of the Pei family in Hangzhou, he could have stayed and given Ye Xi a better married life, allowing her to visit her parents' home often.

After dinner, Pei Zhu took Ye Xi back to Pei's house. According to the plan, they would return to Suzhou City directly after the Mid-Autumn Festival at Pei's house. But Ye Xi was reluctant to leave and wanted to go home again after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Pei Zhu thought that it was normal for Ye Xi to miss home on such a day, so he agreed to stay at Ye's house for a day after the Mid-Autumn Festival before leaving.

This was the first time they went back to Pei's house after they moved away. Because Pei's mother was so strong and Pei's father had no say, Pei Zhu only needed to send a letter to Pei's house to greet them during the New Year and other festivals, and he didn't need to come back. This time it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he was also in Hangzhou, so he still sent a letter. He didn't expect Pei's family to agree. He was very surprised. It was a done deal and he had to take Ye Xi back.
