How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 527: They Have as Much as They Want

Upon just thinking about it, the little maid hung her head low and quickly bowed.

"Lan Zhi pays respects to Miss. How was your journey, Miss?"

Still, her heart pounded with nerves, fearing the Miss might whip her.

Pei Shu’er smiled and nodded, "Lan Zhi, get up quickly. I am fine throughout the journey, and I have safely arrived at the Capital now."

Seeing Pei Shu’er smiling so gently, Lan Zhi’s expression changed.

She cautiously lifted her head to look at Pei Shu’er, then immediately lowered it again.

It was truly like seeing a ghost; their Miss had always been stern and overbearing; when had she ever been so gentle?

No, she had, but only with the Third Prince.

No wonder, no wonder the Madam had been chanting about Shu’er every day since she returned from the frontier.

It turns out their Miss had indeed become so lovable?

Sure enough, tough places do sharpen one’s character.

However, it is a great thing for Miss to change her temper, at least this way, she won’t suffer at her in-law’s.

Lan Zhi nodded and continued to massage Shen Wanqing.

Shen Wanqing had been observing her daughter for a while.

She noticed that on this journey, not only did she not lose weight, but her complexion improved significantly, and her smile deepened.

"Shu’er, come here, let mother take a look at you."

Pei Shu’er walked over, sat beside Shen Wanqing, and winked at her.

"Mother, feel free to look, but remember, after looking at me, you owe me a gift."

Shen Wanqing chuckled softly and gently tapped Pei Shu’er’s forehead.

"Look at you, already married, yet still so unserious."

Pei Shu’er laughed, as they chatted, Shen Wanqing’s gaze unintentionally lingered on Pei Shu’er’s stomach for a moment.

Then she leaned in to ask in a whisper, "Any signs yet?"

Combining Shen Wanqing’s actions and gaze, Pei Shu’er knew what her dear mother was actually concerned about.

"No, actually, it’s better without. The family is not stable at the moment."

Shen Wanqing became a bit anxious.

"You’re already twenty now; when I was your age, you were already born."

Pei Shu’er coughed awkwardly; she felt embarrassed to say that in her world, there were plenty who weren’t married until twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Shen Wanqing said, "I bought a piece of fabric for you, it’s very trendy in the Capital."

Later, Pei Yu got another piece from some noble ladies, saying Xing Ruo found it unrefined, so she gave it away.

That attitude was so condescending, as if she was giving alms.

Shen Wanqing, on the other hand, found this piece of fabric even better-looking than the one Pei Yu took.

She brought out the fabric like it was a treasure.

"You wouldn’t believe it; this kind of fabric has been hyped up to sky-high prices in the Capital, but it’s priceless."

Pei Shu’er was somewhat curious, "Mother, are you perhaps talking about Mermaid Gauze?"

Yinxing also secretly peeked at the fabric with curiosity.

Shen Wanqing shook her head, "I think this is better than Mermaid Gauze."

Pei Shu’er’s curiosity deepened.

When Shen Wanqing mysteriously unveiled the fabric, both Pei Shu’er and Yinxing were silent.

Wasn’t this the Double-sided Brocade from Pei’s Cloth Shop?

They could have as much as they wanted.

But seeing her dear mother treating it like a precious treasure, Pei Shu’er didn’t have the heart to expose the truth.

Pei Shu’er accepted it with a smile, appropriately showing an expression of delight.

"Mother, this is truly wonderful; I really like it."

Shen Wanqing beamed, "As long as you like it, if mother comes across appropriate ones, I’ll buy them for you again."

Pei Shu’er, not wanting to dampen Shen Wanqing’s enthusiasm, smiled and nodded.

That evening, Shen Wanqing had dinner at the Prince Zhan Mansion.

After dinner, Pei Shu’er suggested with a smile, "Mother, why don’t you stay and rest at the Prince Zhan Mansion? We haven’t chatted for a long time."

Shen Wanqing laughed and nodded, "Sure, mother also has a lot to talk to you about."

Returning to Pei Shu’er’s room, the mother and daughter talked about many things.

For instance, her younger brothers and sisters’ recent activities, their progress, any amusing incidents.

She also mentioned her siblings missed her.

Pei Shu’er, of course, knew that Shen Wanqing was merely saying that to make her happy.

The relationship between the original owner and her siblings was beyond merely strained.

The original owner was domineering and unreasonable, having done many embarrassing things for the Third Prince.

Pei Qingxuan and Pei Qingheng had also been implicated by Pei Shu’er and were bullied by their peers and oppressed by the concubine’s children at the Minister’s Mansion.

The oppression was subtle but suffocating enough.

As for the youngest, Pei Jingyi, she was only three when she left and was now six, barely having any impression of Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er didn’t expose this, maintaining a smiling face as she listened.

As for Pei Yu, Shen Wanqing didn’t mention a word.

Pei Shu’er asked with a smile, "Then, what about father? What has he been doing?"

Shen Wanqing genuinely thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don’t know, I’m too lazy to bother about his affairs; anyway, having you kids is enough for mother."

Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but laugh; no wonder her mother could maintain such an innocent disposition, she barely had any room for Pei Yu in her heart.

Come to think of it, if Shen Wanqing had been a woman infatuated with her husband like Liu Xu, she would’ve already been angered to death by Pei Yu’s favoritism and other women’s oppression.

This was, indeed, pretty good.

The next morning, as Shen Wanqing saw Pei Shu’er off, a carriage passed in front of the door.

Pei Shu’er saw her handsome father through the open sedan curtain.

At the moment, he was holding a young, beautiful woman, none other than Xing Ruo.

Pei Shu’er was genuinely puzzled.

"Does father dote on Liu Dahong that much, even taking her to court sessions? And so openly, without the sedan curtains drawn on the streets?"

Shen Wanqing nodded, "Yes, I heard even for meals, baths, and strolls, he brings Xing Ruo along, taking the carriage to the palace gates before letting her off for court sessions."

The subtle use of "heard" was enough to show how much her mother didn’t care about her father’s affairs.

Shen Wanqing joyfully said, "Your father has gone to the morning court; mother will wait for you at the Prince Zhan Mansion. After you’ve met with the Emperor, we’ll go shopping together."

Pei Shu’er nodded, "Okay."

Then she glanced at the cooks,

"Prepare some delicious pastries for my mother, and showcase your best dishes at lunchtime with foods she likes."

Shen Wanqing wanted to say more, but seeing Tang Zan’s longing eyes, she smiled and patted Pei Shu’er’s hand.

"Then, mother is going in."

This time entering the palace were Old Madam Tang, Tang Peiyi, Tang Peixiao, Tang Zan, Liu Xu, and Pei Shu’er; the rest didn’t need to go.

Pei Shu’er thought she didn’t need to go, but the Emperor had named her, so she couldn’t decline.

Tang Zan held Pei Shu’er’s hand.

"Let’s go, time to enter the palace."
