Pei Jingmo glanced at him and sneered, "What did you hear? Did you hear it from the incense burner in the nunnery where my wife is practicing?"

The girl couldn't help but shrink her neck in fear, her face flushed, and she was too embarrassed to say a word.

The other girls were also a little scared, and no one dared to be the first to get into trouble.

It was obvious that even seven or eight of them combined could not defeat this little girl and her rebellious son!

Pei Muchuan's face darkened as he prepared to take action himself. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Qingrou slowly walking down the spiral staircase.

She was wearing a beige dress, with an elegant and slender figure, and her long black hair was casually tied back. She seemed to be shrouded in a faint halo and was extremely beautiful. But her face was too calm, so calm that it seemed lifeless.

Pei Muchuan felt a lump in his throat for no reason.

She was not like this when she first married him. At that time, her eyes and eyebrows were clearly lively and smart.

When did she become like this? He was completely unaware.

"Auntie."

Xu Nanyin had been looking for Ye Qingrou since she entered the door. She quickly stood up and walked towards her.

Ye Qingrou looked at her with a gentle smile, "Xiao Xu is here. What do you want to eat later? I'll go to the kitchen and make it for you."

"What are you doing?" Pei Muchuan walked forward, frowning and saying, "You haven't even recovered from your illness yet, why don't you lie down upstairs and recuperate?"

Ye Qingrou, however, acted as if there was no one beside her. She smiled softly and asked Xu Nanyin, "Do you want to eat crab meat and lion's head?"

Xu Nanyin shook her head. "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Let me help you go upstairs to rest."

"It's just a cold, don't worry."

Pei Muchuan's handsome old face beside him was embarrassed and frowned in annoyance.

Ye Qingrou is now increasingly disregarding him, often treating him like air. Last time, she even lied to him about having a terminal illness! If he doesn't teach her a lesson, she'll become even more outrageous!

Pei Muchuan took a step forward, his tall figure separating Xu Nanyin and standing in front of Ye Qingrou, "You..."

Ye Qingrou raised her head, her beautiful black pupils staring at him quietly and clearly.

Pei Muchuan froze, and the words of blame on his lips were inexplicably swallowed back into his stomach!

"Xiao Xu, let's go sit over there."

Ye Qingrou walked around him and sat on the sofa with Xu Nanyin.

"Hello, Aunt Pei."

The girls greeted each other politely and attentively.

Ye Qingrou nodded lightly, glanced around, and said, "It's really unfortunate today. Our second young master had an urgent matter. We originally arranged for him to meet everyone and get to know each other..."

"He has reached the right age to get married. Although I am not his biological mother, I also want to choose a good marriage for him."

The girls looked at each other, and their faces turned green.

What did she mean? Was Mrs. Pei's words hinting that today's "blind date" wasn't arranged for Pei Jingmo, but for the rumored illegitimate child of the Pei family?

After all, they were all legitimate daughters of wealthy families, so why would they marry an illegitimate child? It would only make people laugh if the news got out.

"Aunt Pei, Uncle Pei, I'm leaving first..." A girl immediately looked unhappy and stood up and said.

Soon the other girls followed, and within a minute, seven or eight girls lined up and slipped away.

The living room fell silent.

Ye Qingrou looked at Pei Muchuan indifferently, waiting for him to get angry.

After all, this so-called "Second Young Master" was just something she made up. Pei Muchuan did have an illegitimate child, but he had never appeared in front of her in all these years. No one knew where he was raising him.

however……

Pei Muchuan's face was filled with gloom, and his expression changed again and again as he watched her lips open and close. Finally, he sat down on the sofa, asked the servant to make a cup of Pu'er tea, and drank it slowly.

He didn't get angry at her.

Ye Qingrou couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that the girls were sent away by the aunt with just a few words, Xu Nanyin wanted to say something, but it was difficult to interrupt, after all, it was related to the private life of her elders.

In the living room, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

until……

Pei Jingmo glanced at Ye Qingrou, then suddenly turned to ask Xu Nanyin, "Who is this? My aunt?"

"..."

Xu Nanyin was annoyed. She twisted his arm calmly and said to Ye Qingrou, "Auntie, he has intermittent amnesia and it comes and goes..."

"You bastard! This is your mother!" Pei Muchuan said angrily.

"No way?" Pei Jingmo casually grabbed a handful of pistachios from the dried fruit plate on the coffee table, slowly peeled the shells, and asked Pei Muchuan: "Then who are you? My uncle?"

"Rebellious son!" Pei Muchuan slammed the teacup onto the table.

Pei Jingmo snorted coldly: "It's not my fault, you two don't look like a couple."

Hearing this, Pei Muchuan's face suddenly darkened, even uglier than before.

Pei Jingmo took Xu Nanyin's hand, spread it open, and naturally placed a few peeled green nuts in her palm, saying calmly: "How about you two give me a kiss?"

"..." Xu Nanyin secretly kicked him on the calf.

Pei Muchuan's expression became subtle. He coughed lightly and looked at Ye Qingrou with an ambiguous look.

Ye Qingrou's elegant and beautiful face was silent and expressionless. Suddenly, her brows furrowed, and she raised her eyelids to look at him: "What are you looking at?"

Then she stood up and walked slowly upstairs with her slender figure.

Pei Muchuan frowned and sneered at her back: "If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"

There was a sudden noise at the door.

Xu Nanyin subconsciously turned her head and saw a chubby figure. Special Assistant Huang was carrying two high-end custom-made traditional Chinese style gift boxes, walking towards her breathlessly.
