It was all Lin Yiwan's fault for ruining her face. Even after using the expensive ointment, it could only reduce some of the swelling, but the bruises were not so easy to fade away.
Sensing the resentment and uneasiness in her eyes, Old Madam Xiao quickly slapped her lips and said, "It's all my fault for being so outspoken. I'm sure Miss Pei San has something to hide. I'm a bit naive!"
Old Madam Pei's face suddenly turned as gloomy as ink. Pei Saisai was the little girl she had carefully raised, and she couldn't let her be stigmatized.
Regardless of whether she can get engaged to Xiao Rui this time, she must show Pei Saisai's face, otherwise, people outside will talk about her.
She scolded without hesitation: "Saisai, take off your veil. Since you are going to meet Old Madam Xiao, you have to let her see what you look like. What's the point of hiding it? We girls from the Pei family are not ashamed to be seen!"
Pei Saisai was almost scared to tears. She couldn't let anyone see her mottled purple face.
She said subconsciously: "Grandma, have you forgotten? I was bitten by a mosquito and a red spot appeared. I was afraid of scaring Madam Xiao!"
Madam Pei reached out and pulled it off, saying, "The elders only feel sorry for you, how could they be scared?"
Her voice suddenly stopped because she could see the obvious bruises on Pei Saisai's face from being slapped.
Old Madam Xiao was also very smart, so she naturally saw it clearly.
She couldn't help but say, "Madam Pei, Miss Saisai's injury is really serious. You have to take her to see a doctor immediately to avoid leaving any scars. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
At this point, what else can Mrs. Pei say?
She glared at Pei Saisai angrily and said through gritted teeth, "My granddaughter is the most mischievous. She might have bumped into something again. Madam Xiao, please don't mind it!"
Pei Saisai quickly explained to Madam Xiao with grievance: "I accidentally bumped into a tree, and that's why I got the bruise!"
Madam Xiao sighed: "What a poor child, go back and apply some medicine!"
He didn't say a word to Xiao Ruixiang, obviously he didn't want to continue the conversation.
Pei Saisai was extremely depressed. If this marriage failed, wouldn't she be severely punished by her grandmother?
No, she has to fight for it herself.
She quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam Xiao, my injuries will heal, and I won't be naughty anymore. I heard that you love sweet soup the most, so I learned how to make it from the chef in Jiangnan. Can I make it for you when I get back?"
Old Madam Xiao's expression suddenly changed. Is Pei Saisai targeting her?
Seeing that Madam Pei had no intention of stopping it and was obviously determined that the marriage must go through, what should I do?
Just as she was struggling with her thoughts, Lin Yiwan said calmly, "Miss Saisai, why don't you see your cousin Xiaoyu? Could it be that she also ran into the tree with you?"
Pei Saisai was shocked and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She could only mumble something perfunctorily: "My cousin Xiaoyu suddenly felt unwell, that's why she didn't come with us!"
Lin Yiwan suddenly laughed, raised her bright and pretty face, looked at Madam Pei and said, "Madam, Wanwan admires you as a person, so there are some things I don't want to keep from you!"
A cold light flashed in Mrs. Pei's eyes. As the ancestor of the Pei family, she could naturally see Lin Yiwan's hostility towards the third girl.
Originally, he was somewhat dissatisfied and secretly resented her for deliberately going against the Pei family.
Now that she has brought it up on her own initiative, is there something else going on?
She hesitated for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Madam, please tell me, how did I get kept in the dark?"
Pei Saisai's face turned pale with shock. She blurted out almost subconsciously, "Lin Yiwan, didn't you promise not to spread that matter? How could you be such a despicable person who breaks your promise?"
After the words fell, the whole place fell silent.
Madam Pei's gaze suddenly turned sharp as she cast a sharp gaze upon her. She angrily rebuked her in a deep voice, "Pei Saisai, I told you to speak for yourself. You must tell me the truth. How did you get this injury on your face?"
Pei Saisai met Lin Yiwan's playful eyes, and suddenly layers of murderous intent surged in her heart.
That bitch was so despicable that she actually forced her to lose her composure.
She grew up under the care of Old Madam Pei, so she naturally understood her temper. She loved her when she was pampered, and punished her when she was punished.
Anyone who conceals or tells a lie will be guilty of an even greater crime!
She had no way out and could only tell the truth.
Perhaps sensing the undercurrent between the grandfather and grandson, Old Madam Xiao couldn't help but say, "We won't disturb your Pei family's affairs. Let's go somewhere else first!"
There was no way that Madam Pei was willing to let her go. She couldn't afford to lose face in front of that person, and she would never let anyone criticize the Pei family behind their backs.
She stopped him directly: “Madam Xiao and I are friends, so you can listen to this family matter!”
Madam Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to it!"
When she turned around, she found that her son had asked someone to bring back a few stools.
Not only did she have one, Lin Yiwan had one, Meng Yunshang had one, and even Old Madam Pei was given one.
She squinted her eyes happily. Her son was so sensible. He was worried that she would get tired from standing for too long.
Pei Saisai's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why didn't he get her a stool?
Even if Lin Yiwan has an identity, why should she be given to Meng Yunshang?
How could she be worthy of sitting on the stool he had brought?
Seeing that she remained silent, Madam Pei angrily shouted, "Pei Saisai, do you really have to wait for me to punish you with family discipline in front of everyone else before you confess?"
Pei Saisai felt extremely aggrieved. She fell to her knees and cried, "Grandma, I didn't do anything wrong. I was just buying clothes with my cousin at the embroidery workshop and I secretly said that Madam Lin was a shrew. They happened to hear it, so they forced my cousin Xiaoyu and I to slap each other in the face as punishment!"
When Mrs. Pei heard this, her vision went dark and she almost fell headfirst to the ground.
Fortunately, Madam Xiao supported her and said, "Old sister, please hold on!"
Old Madam Pei's eyes turned red with anger. This was the girl she had carefully raised. How could she do such a stupid thing?
Talking bad about people behind their backs and getting caught by the person who did it!
She really brought shame to the Pei family!
Pei Saisai was extremely embarrassed. She thought it was not a big deal, but she couldn't understand why everyone was holding on to it.
Considering that she is a lady from a rich and noble family, is she not as good as a despised jinx?
Madam Pei gritted her teeth and said, "You deserve it. Madam Lin is so kind that she only let you slap each other. She should have taken you sisters to the government office and charged you with gossiping and slandering each other!"
Pei Saisai cried and begged, "Grandma, I already know I was wrong. Can we just forget about this? I didn't mean to do it. It's all because of cousin Xiaoyu who kept nagging me that I spoke without restraint!"
