The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

"Sister-in-law, this fine cotton cloth is not cheap."

Second Aunt cautiously reached out to touch the few feet of green cloth that Xiao Wen had just torn, but before she could touch it, Xiao Wen slapped her hard on the back of her hand.

"Your hands are so rough, don't let me damage them later!"

Xiao Wen said unhappily.

He casually hugged the green cloth in his arms.

"The harvest is good this year, and your eldest brother is very happy. I begged for this piece of cloth for a long time before he gave it to me. It's just right, and the New Year is coming soon, so I'll sew a new jacket for him. I can use the rest to make a dress for Yan'er."

In the past, Xiao Wenshi would never have even glanced at this blue cotton cloth. She only wore silk or satin, so how could she possibly wear cotton cloth like ordinary people?

But things are different now.

After suffering a lot in Ningguta, I now live in a village. Although I still feel unbalanced, at least my life is much better than before.

In the village, this kind of blue cotton cloth is considered a high-quality product, and if you wear it outside, people will look at you every few steps.

My second uncle was reluctant to buy it for the women in his family.

The main reason is that my second uncle’s family has many people, so he wants to buy a lot at once, but the conditions do not allow it.

Second Aunt and Mrs. Gu looked at the blue cloth with their eyes shining.

"Sister-in-law, if you have any leftover fabrics from making clothes, could you give them to me? I'll use them to make socks or shoe covers for the children."

Second aunt said flatteringly.

Xiao Wen's eyes narrowed.

She really enjoyed the feeling of being flattered, something she hadn't experienced in a long time. However, she had hope in her heart.

"Hehe, take it, take it. After the New Year, Yan'er should write to me. He will definitely bring me a lot of money. Then I will not only buy cloth for clothes, but also a pair of gold bracelets. Humph, that Dong Ma who manages the manor has a gold bracelet. She says that Su Li, that little bitch, gave it to her as a gift. She rolls up her sleeves and shows it off in front of me all day long!"

"Bah! Tomorrow, when my son Yan'er becomes rich, I'll not only buy him a gold bracelet, but also a gold necklace and a gold hairpin. I'll wear a different one every year and blind Aunt Dong!"

This year, Xiao Wen was tortured enough by Nanny Dong. She was forced to work in the fields all day long, and would be scolded if she took a break. She was really fed up.

Second Aunt and Gu looked at each other.

They had been hearing Xiao Wenshi say these things to Pei Yan for almost a year now. But in that entire year, Pei Yan hadn't even sent a single word back, let alone money.

"Aunt, where did my third brother make his fortune? Why don't you tell me? Pei Yi is his brother, we're one family. He can lend a hand when needed, right?"

Every day, Gu heard little Wen say that Pei Yan went out to make a living and became rich. Then she looked at Pei Yi, who stayed at the farm every day either farming or plowing the fields. It made her angry just thinking about it.

Thinking of pleasing Xiao Wen, it would give him another way out in the future.

"Yan'er said this is a secret. When he becomes successful in the future, you will all know it."

Xiao Wen was arrogant and refused to say more.

The second aunt smiled awkwardly and went out with Gu and the other two.

"Mom, why are you pulling me?"

Gu was reluctant.

Second aunt rolled her eyes outside the door and said:

"Why is she showing off?! Pei Yan is not at home, and Big Brother is not feeling well. Your father and Yi'er have done so much work for them every day. And they are reluctant to even give them a piece of cloth! Ugh!"

"She boasted to me every day, saying that when Pei Yan became successful, he would come and take her to enjoy a life of luxury. In the future, she would have dozens of maids to serve her, countless gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, and would be even more luxurious than when she was a marquis' wife in the marquis' mansion."

"Hmph, go ahead and brag. You're not afraid that your boast will burst and fall to the ground, crushing you to death."

Gu felt uncomfortable hearing these words every day.

Especially when I compare my life with my husband and then look at Zhuangzi, who seems to be endless, I feel that my life is simply endless sorrow.

When I followed my mother-in-law back home, I saw that my father-in-law had just returned home and was sitting on a chair in the main hall with a heavy expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Who are you showing off to with such a sour face?"

Second Aunt was in a bad mood because Second Uncle didn't buy her some cloth. Now she was even more upset after coming back from Little Wenshi with a rage.

"Look at my eldest brother, how generous he is. Even though he and my eldest sister-in-law quarreled every day, when my eldest sister-in-law asked for a piece of blue cloth, my eldest brother gave her the money without a second thought. What about you? Humph, marrying you is such bad luck. When I was in the Marquis' Mansion, I couldn't even eat warm shit. That stinky brat Pei Yan caused trouble and even implicated us. Now, we are finally living our own lives, and I still have to endure her anger!"

Second aunt kept chattering on and on, completely unaware of the heavy look on Second uncle's face.

"Okay, shut up!"

Second uncle finally spoke.

"Something big happened at my brother's house."

"What's wrong?"

When Second Aunt heard this, she immediately became more energetic and even straightened up. She hurried over to listen to what was going on.

Second Uncle sighed and said:

"Pei Yan is gone. The Duke of Dingguo's Mansion just sent someone to report this."

"Ah? Why is it gone?"

The second aunt was surprised, but her surprise could not suppress her excitement, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.

Only then did my second uncle tell the whole story.

Zhuangzi was isolated from the news, and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion deliberately concealed Pei Yan's affairs, so they still didn't know what happened outside, let alone what Pei Yan did.

After hearing what my second uncle said, my second aunt didn't know whether she was surprised or happy. She opened her mouth wide and said:

"Really? He's so brave! Rebellion is a capital crime, he deserves death!"

Then he remembered that his family and Pei Yan were relatives, and asked fearfully:

"I hope his crime won't implicate us. This time, we've all stayed at the farm and done nothing!"

Gu was also afraid.

"Mom, I'm so stupid. I even thought about asking my third brother, ah, Pei Yan to help Pei Yi. It almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, it's okay!"

Fortunately, Xiao Wenshi ignored her.

If Xiao Wen really agreed to something, she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"Not really!"

Second uncle said.

"Brother Heng sent someone to say that the emperor is very observant and knows that Pei Yan's incident was caused by him alone. We should all work honestly on the farm. This incident has nothing to do with us."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Second aunt and Mrs. Gu patted their chests repeatedly to calm themselves down.

At the same time, I felt a little gloating.

Little Wen, I told you to show off every day, humph, let’s see how you show off now? ! !

From next door came the sound of a pottery bowl smashing to the ground, followed by the hysterical roar of Little Wen:

"impossible!"
