Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 254 A Humble Son from a Poor Family VS A Noble Son 17

When they arrived at the Pei residence, Feng Yun was already asleep from exhaustion.

Shengyuan carried him down from the carriage.

When they got off the carriage, Wang was helped down by Pei Ge. Pei Qin followed behind, looking terrified. Pei Cheng and Pei Zhou were also frightened, but they didn't show it on their faces.

Pei Ge watched as her third brother carried his son-in-law down the aisle, and nodded slightly in greeting.

For her, this matter was entirely beneficial, regardless of what others thought.

Her third brother trusted her character and entrusted her with the task of delivering messages, which made a good impression on the Lady of the Marquis and the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion.

Gaining the favor of the Marquis's wife and the future young mistress of the Duke's mansion is always a good thing.

When Sheng Yuan saw her bow, he knew what she was thinking.

No one would be unwilling to accept benefits. Although Pei Ge is not naive, he has no bad intentions or stupid thoughts.

Sheng Yuan returned the greeting and then carried the person back to the courtyard.

Upon entering the mansion, Madam Wang was frightened and exhausted, so she went to sleep.

Pei Ge helped her mother to bed and went out of the room, where she saw her younger brother, Pei Cheng, standing outside.

"Come to my courtyard for a cup of tea," Pei Ge said.

Pei Cheng understood what she meant, nodded, and followed her.

Upon arriving at Pei Ge's courtyard, Pei Ge dismissed the servants.

"What exactly happened today?" Pei Cheng asked when no one was around.

Pei Ge calmly poured himself a cup of tea.

"It's just that some people don't want the Marquis's mansion to be too prominent," Pei Ge said, taking a sip of tea. "Once people get involved in the profits, they become greedy."

“Yes, when there are too many people, one’s heart won’t be so pure. How can one just stand by and watch others prosper?” Pei Cheng poured himself a cup of tea. “Why did you perform the bow of gratitude to your third brother and son-in-law at the gate of the mansion today?”

When Pei Ge saw that he had seen it, he smiled faintly: "Our third brother is not a fool. He probably knows more than any of us. This capital city is rich but also dangerous. There are many people we can't afford to offend."

"You mean he usually hides his talents?" Pei Cheng frowned.

“If it weren’t for my third brother’s instructions, I would never have guessed that this was a scheme orchestrated by someone else,” Pei Ge said. “My third brother told me about this in private, which is how I gained face in front of Madam Feng and Miss Feng. He could have sent Liu Jun to keep an eye on things, but he gave me this opportunity instead, so I should thank him.”

Pei Cheng listened in silence and deep thought.

"Now that we've arrived in the capital, regardless of whether he's truly sincere towards my third brother's husband, my third brother has established a connection with the Marquis's mansion through this marriage, which is beneficial to us. Even if we're not close friends in the future, we can't afford to offend him."

Seeing that Pei Cheng had a long face, Pei Ge carefully gave Pei Cheng some instructions.

"Whether Pei Ze is hiding his talents or not is none of your business. You are young and impetuous, and it's fine if you argue with Pei Zhou in a fit of pique. But in the future, be more composed when things happen. This capital city is not like a remote small county town like Suzhou. It's too easy for someone to die here. Don't lose your life because of a moment of confusion."

Pei Cheng nodded, "Eldest sister is right."

"It's good that you can understand." Pei Ge finished drinking the tea in his cup.

Pei Cheng finished his tea and then left.

He was terrified when he saw those two people commit suicide by poison, bleeding from their seven orifices.

Even the Marquis's residence is not safe.

The capital city was more dangerous than he had imagined; the slightest misstep could mean certain death.

In Aunt Luo's courtyard, Pei Qin hugged Aunt Luo and cried, terrified.

Pei Zhou was kept behind by Aunt Luo.

After hearing what Pei Qin said, Aunt Luo waved her round fan.

"Such a good thing happened today, and that bitch Pei Ge got the benefit."

Pei Zhou looked puzzled when he heard Aunt Luo say this. "Is this important? The important thing is that two people died. This capital city is very dangerous!"

"How can it not be important?" Aunt Luo rolled her eyes at him. "Look at your pathetic self. It's just the death of two lowly maids. What danger is there?"

"Furthermore, the more dangerous the place, the greater the wealth. If you want to make a future, you will inevitably have to go through these things. If you are afraid, you will let Pei Cheng take advantage of you."

Pei Zhou fell silent after hearing what Aunt Luo had said.

He was an illegitimate son in the family, always inferior to Pei Cheng, yet he was always outdone, which he resented.

"Auntie is right. Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles."

Seeing that he had come to his senses, Aunt Luo smiled and said, "It's good that you've come to your senses. My son, you must strive to surpass the daughters of that Wang family and make your mother proud."

"Yes."

In the Ziyun Courtyard, when Sheng Yuan gently placed Feng Yun on the bed, Feng Yun held on tightly and refused to let go, whimpering incessantly, which was heartbreaking. So Sheng Yuan went along with him and fell asleep with him in his arms.

Attending a banquet was already exhausting enough for Feng Yun, but this troublesome matter only added to his exhaustion.

Feng Yun slept for two hours before waking up from hunger.

He scurried about in Sheng Yuan's arms, half asleep. Sheng Yuan, who hadn't been asleep, picked him up when he saw he was awake.

"Shengyuan, I'm so hungry~"

Sheng Yuan looked at the little head resting on his shoulder, swaying back and forth, and laughed. He pinched the boy's cheek and then continued to put his coat on him.

"Hand out."

After hearing this, Feng Yun reached out and asked, "Why do you always pinch my cheeks?"

"I like it," Sheng Yuan said, pinching his cheek again.

Feng Yun pursed his lips, then reached out and pinched Sheng Yuan's cheek, saying with a grin, "It's only fair to reciprocate."

Sheng Yuan let him pinch her cheeks.

There are many things to do in the capital, and they are easy to forget.

On this day, Feng Yunyan got married.

The wedding was a grand affair, and both the Duke of Shen's mansion and the Marquis's mansion were extremely lively.

Shen Qiwei couldn't stop smiling.

Feng Yun was getting married, and although he was her younger brother, he couldn't stop the door. So Sheng Yuan led him to watch from the side.

Feng Chang was extremely serious about picking up his bride. If Shen Qiwei hadn't practiced martial arts with him since childhood and had also trained in the military camp, he probably wouldn't have been able to pick up his bride today.

Feng Yun, watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud, hiding behind Sheng Yuan to laugh out of politeness.

Sheng Yuan stood naturally in front of Feng Yun.

Logically speaking, Sheng Yuan had the status to stop the door, but he didn't want to join in the fun.

Shen Qiwei received Feng Yunyan and went to the Shen State Duke's Mansion.

With the elders above, red silk conveys joy, the newlyweds bow to each other, expressing the will of Heaven; this completes the ceremony.

Feng Yun couldn't help but exclaim, "That's wonderful."

Sheng Yuan held Feng Yun's hand tightly, looked down at Feng Yun, and smiled at each other.

May you be happily married, enjoy a long and happy life together, and be forever united in heart!

Feng Chang found the scene lively and was happy for her sister. She glanced at her younger brother and brother-in-law and couldn't help but roll her eyes. She then moved away from them.

The wedding was a grand affair, with even His Majesty sending gifts to celebrate, which was considered a great honor for the Shen and Feng families.

When they returned to the manor, Feng Yun was so tired that she fell asleep in Sheng Yuan's arms. The Pei family members were already used to seeing Sheng Yuan carrying Feng Yun off the carriage.
