Chapter 504 Differential Treatment

I'll think about the timber workshop and see if I can find a craftsman. "Old Marquis Pei shook his head.

"Okay, I'll arrange the brick kiln first when we get to Mobei." Pei Jingyang nodded in agreement.

A few people talked in the study for a while, and then Nanny Chen, who was beside Old Madam Pei, came over to invite everyone to prepare for lunch.

Several people left the study together. Pei Jingyang stood in the yard, hesitating whether to stay in Songheyuan to have dinner with his parents or go back to Changfengyuan to have dinner.

Walking behind him, Lord Pei, who had picked up the bird cage again, glanced at him and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go back and have lunch?"

Forget it, let’s go back. Pei Jingyang, who was still hesitant, said something loudly to Old Madam Pei in the yard and then left Songheyuan.

Although he left Songhe Courtyard, he was still muttering to himself, mainly to vent his dissatisfaction with Old Marquis Pei.

No matter what, they should show some respect and invite me to have lunch. My parents are so kind that they invited their grandson and granddaughter-in-law to have lunch, but they wanted their son to leave as soon as possible.

It was as if I was getting in his way. Alas, I am a poor child who is not loved by my father and mother. Forget it, I should go back and comfort my wife. I guess my wife is still angry.

Pei Jingyang couldn't help but quicken his pace. As expected, when he returned to Changfeng Garden, he saw Madam Han preparing to have lunch. The dishes on the table were obviously not prepared for him.

"Madam, I'm back. Bai Shao, give me some bowls and chopsticks. I'm starving." Bai Shao and another maid came up in a hurry to get more bowls and chopsticks. The other two maids hurried to the kitchen to add more dishes.

Pei Jingyang washed his hands in the basin in the corner of the room, and wiped his hands with a soft cloth. He then walked behind Madam Han and looked at her expressionless face.

Pei Jingyang bent down and kissed Madam Han on the face, and said with a playful smile, "Madam, you must be starving. If you are hungry, eat first."

"Why didn't you stay in Songheyuan for lunch? You were kicked out." Madam Han glared at Pei Jingyang fiercely while wiping her face with a wet towel.

"How is that possible? My father and mother insisted on taking me to have dinner at Songheyuan. However, I thought of you and came back. I wanted to have dinner with my wife." Pei Jingyang said with a smile.

Madam Han glanced at Pei Jingyang, turned her head away and stopped talking.

"Madam, are you still angry? Okay, don't be angry. Lei'er is really nice. Although her family background is not as good as ours, she hasn't lost her parents, which you would mind.

You, look at the problem from a different angle, ah, you see, Lei'er is pretty, smart, and Jin'er likes her. That's it." Pei Jingyang said softly.

"As parents, don't we all hope that our children will grow up safely and start their own families? Now our children all have their own families, which is great.

You, don't deliberately embarrass Lei'er. To be honest, if you embarrass Lei'er, you will hurt Jin'er. If Jin'er is unhappy, how can you be happy? "

"I didn't dare to make things difficult for her. They were protecting her very well. I don't know if they were afraid that she would break her arm while bringing me a basin of water?

I am afraid that if you make a mistake, I will tear her apart and eat her." Madam Han scooped a portion of the soup into her own bowl.

"How could that be possible? Madam is an open-minded person. Jin'er has already said this. Don't think too much about it. But Lei'er really doesn't need to do the job of serving tea and water.

There are a lot of maids and servants at home, but they are paid monthly wages, just let them serve you, okay." Pei Jingyang picked up the bowl.

"Why? As a mother-in-law, can't I enjoy the filial piety of my daughter-in-law for a day or two?" Mrs. Han was a little angry.

"Of course not. Didn't Lei'er come this morning? She also set the table for you and me and served us our meal. It's enough to show her kindness, okay." Pei Jingyang picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Madam Han's bowl.

"I haven't even put down my chopsticks or said a word, but you guys are rushing to pull her away. Why? Are you afraid that I will scold her? Or are you afraid that I will hit her?"

Mrs. Han was furious when she thought about how Hua Lei was taken away by Pei Jingyang in the morning before she even put down her chopsticks.

"How could that be? I really have something to talk to Lei'er about. The supplies that Mobei needs must be delivered as soon as possible." Pei Jingyang said after taking a bite of rice.

"Just a moment or two? If it's a quarter of an hour late, will the sky fall?" Madam Han glanced at Pei Jingyang.

"Okay, I was wrong. I was impatient and made Madam unhappy. I apologize to Madam. Come, have a piece of tripe slice. Let's be big-hearted people." Pei Jingyang picked up another piece of tripe slice with chopsticks and gave it to Madam Han.

After taking a sip of chicken soup, he said, "Besides, Lei'er came directly to Changfeng Garden early in the morning to pay her respects to you and me, and she didn't even go to Songheyuan. It can be seen that she is very filial to us. Father and mother have been waiting eagerly for us all morning.

You, just stop thinking about these unhappy things. Anyway, my mother didn't ask you to go to Songheyuan to be filial, right? She always asks the maid to serve tea and water, so you can just ask the maid to do the same.

In a few days, we will go back to Mobei, and we will let them do whatever they want." Pei Jingyang said softly.

Hearing Pei Jingyang talking about Songhe Hall, Madam Han stopped talking. Indeed, her mother-in-law had never deliberately made things difficult for her. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh again.

Compared to the angry scene in Changfeng Garden, everyone in Songhe Hall was happy. Madam Pei asked the small kitchen to prepare a large table of dishes, all of which were selected according to Hualei's favorites.

So, before she knew it, Hualei was full again. It was really because Mrs. Pei kept picking up vegetables and scooping soup for her.

"Grandma, I really can't eat anymore. Look, my belly is so round." Hua Lei stroked her belly and smiled as she refused to be fed by Madam Pei.

"You really can't eat anymore? Okay, then eat later. But, Lei'er, you are too thin, you should eat more. By the way, the blood swallow's nest is not ready yet. When it's ready, you can have another bowl." Old Madam Pei put down the chopsticks in her hand.

"Okay, I'll eat when I can. Anyway, everything here, grandma, is good, and I like to eat them all." Hua Lei coaxed Madam Pei with a smile.

"That's great. Let's rest here for a while. We haven't talked for a long time." Old Madam Pei said, holding Hua Lei's hand.

"Grandma..." Rong Jin drawled out his voice.

"Okay, grandma, I'll rest with you later," Hua Lei agreed without waiting for Rong Jin to refuse.
