Mrs. Pei's nervousness and resistance disappeared.

After all, even as a servant in the house, at most one would admire him, rather than look at him with this kind of respect mixed with a hint of worship.

The lectures are really fun.

When she came for the second time, Mrs. Pei went out early and prepared lessons seriously, trying to help every student improve their painting skills.

For a moment, she really forgot about the husband who had been haunting her dreams.

The situation is different with the Ministry of Punishment.

Pei Lin always felt that something was strange these days, as if something was missing.

He called the servant in and asked carefully, "Madam, have you sent any soup over these days?"

The servant shook his head, "No."

Pei Lin sighed helplessly, "It seems she's angry with me again. She's always been spoiled, and now she's the mother of two children, why is she still like this?"

Occasionally, he still missed her when they first met, with her gentle features and extraordinary talent.

Pei Lin wondered again if he had indeed ignored her.

"Go back early today and buy some of the sugar-coated rice cakes that Madam likes."

The servant agreed.

In less than half an hour, Pei Lin returned to the mansion and headed straight for the yard.

He cleared his throat and said, "Madam, I'm back."

The yard was quiet.

Pei Lin frowned in confusion, and a little unhappy arose in his heart. Is he really angry?

"lady."

He raised his voice.

Still no one answered.

Pei Lin's patience was exhausted. He planned to go into the bedroom to question her, but he had only taken a few steps when he saw a maid running towards him in a hurry.

The maid was surprised, "Why did the master come back so early?"

Pei Lin laughed angrily, "Do I need your approval to come back?"

Outrageous!

The maid didn't know why the master was angry, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to admit her fault, "This servant deserves death. This is not what I meant. Please have mercy on me, Master!"

Pei Lin wasn't one to vent his anger on others, so he swallowed his anger several times before saying, "Alright, go get your wife."

The maid's body stiffened slightly.

She said cautiously, "Madam, she hasn't come back yet."

Pei Lin's anger faded a little after he realized that his wife was not throwing a tantrum and refused to respond.

"Going out to relax?"

"No."

The maid's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd. The master never came back so early before, so why did he come back when it was her turn to be on duty?

She shouldn't have run out just now!

This expression fell clearly into Pei Lin's eyes, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. Where on earth was his wife?

He scolded coldly, "Tell the truth."

The maid had no choice but to tell the master everything that happened after the boat cruise and the banquet. The lady had been teaching at the girls' school these days.

Pei Linzhen stayed where he was.

"what?"

Did his wife teach at the girls' school?

That place was secretly excluded by the ministers in the court, not to mention the group of so-called talents, who were terrified that their interests would be deprived and were singing its praises every day.

Pei Lin didn't have any objection. He fell in love with his wife at first sight because her paintings were so stunning.

But this...

Pei Lin felt a surge of anger in his heart, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

After all, he is the head of the family. Shouldn't his wife inform him in advance if she is going to do something so public?

The maid's face turned pale.

She doesn't know what the lady is thinking!

Ever since she attended the lake party, she seemed like a different person. She even told them not to tell the master, as he wouldn't care where she went anyway.

Pei Lin was speechless when he heard this!

"No, I want to see what she wants to do."

"Where are you going?"

Pei Lin just turned around and ran into Mrs. Pei who had just returned from outside, and he stopped in his tracks.

Pei Lin immediately asked, "When did you start teaching at the women's school? Why didn't you tell me? Did you know that doing this..."

At the end of his speech, he fell silent.

Because Pei Lin found that his wife's eyes were not right, too cold.

In the past, the lady always looked at him with admiration and brightness, as if he was her whole world.

Now I seem to have no feelings for him at all!

Pei Lin felt a pang of pain in his heart, and a little panicked, but he didn't know how to continue speaking.

Madam Pei said calmly, "Go on, why don't you continue?"

"lady……"

"I'm just going to the girls' school to do some work for the princess. Why are you so angry? How have I wronged you over the years?"

Before Pei Lin could finish his words, Madam Pei interrupted him.

The attitude is extremely cold.

Pei Lin's eyelids twitched, and his tone involuntarily slowed down. "I'm just worried about you. What's wrong with you? Did someone outside make you angry?"

Mrs. Pei sneered.

The happier she was these days, the more she realized how depressing life had been for her after marrying into the Pei Mansion.

She used to love painting so much, but later on her life became dull and she just spent her days revolving around her husband.

"Why are you being so hypocritical here? Have you ever cared whether I'm angry or not? If you're busy, then just go about your business every day. We'll both be well."

Pei Lin: “?”

How did his wife become like this!

Little did she know that these words had been in Mrs. Pei's heart for a long time, and even the look she gave Pei Lin was filled with disappointment.

"It's okay, I'll go back to my room first."

Pei Lin was at a loss and tried to explain, but in the end, he could only say "no".

Finally, he watched his wife leave.

Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter and immediately chased after him, wanting to argue again.

It was clearly her who went to the girls' school without saying hello, so how did it become his fault in the end?

Pei Lin ran to the door of the room and was about to speak when he saw his wife come out again with a lot of things in her hands.

Looking closely, it is rice paper.

She asked impatiently, "Anything else?"

Pei Lin's momentum weakened and he shook his head slightly.

When Madam Pei passed by him and left, Pei Lin said inexplicably, "I'll sleep at your place tonight."

They haven't slept together in a long time.

Pei Lin thought it would be better not to get angry with her, but to appease the lady and bring up the matter of the girls' school later.

Madam Pei paused and said only two words, "It's up to you."

Pei Lin's face was stiff.

Is she determined to get angry with him?

That night, Mrs. Pei was busy in the study and did not go back to her room to sleep.

It was rare for Pei Lin to be alone in an empty room.

This is the first time this has happened in more than ten years of marriage!

He stayed awake all night.

Pei Lin was very angry, thinking that no matter how angry his wife was, she should stop at a certain point, otherwise how could they manage their relationship?

This has to be discussed openly!

Pei Lin simply washed up and went to look for his wife, but there was no one in the study.

The maid replied stiffly, "Madam went to the academy early in the morning. She said that today's work is very heavy and we can't delay."

Pei Lin almost fainted from anger.

He staggered a few times and was prevented from falling down by the help of the servant.

It’s this female student again!

"Let's go, I want to take a look!"
