The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1175 - 270: No Good Intentions_4

Pei Qin was feeling depressed about having to live next door to Princess Xi Yun in the future, and she had decided that she wanted the couple to live far apart.

Xie Yi quickly jogged over, "Madam!" No one had told her about the move, and Mo Heng wouldn’t allow her and her brother to dine at the main courtyard anymore, so Xie Yi had just confirmed the news. Pei Qin and Mo Heng were moving out, while Pei Qian and Pei Yuan stayed here. With Mo Heng gone, it wasn’t easy for her to go out frequently, and it was difficult to meet people when she did, so she lost that shortcut!

Pei Qin watched her approach.

Xie Yi came forward and courteously bowed, "I just found out that Madam and the Marquis are moving to Tiance Mansion, and I couldn’t help in any way."

"There are servants for that, no need for help," Pei Qin replied with a slight smile.

Xie Yi looked troubled and knelt with a thud, "I have an improper request, please grant me this favor, madam."

Pei Qin raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

Xie Yi hesitated, then looked up with eyes brimming with tears, "Madam! I heard that this residence would be renovated for Brother Wendong to marry the Commandery Princess. It wouldn’t be proper for us siblings to continue living here. With the legal wife yet to enter and the future concubines already residing honorably in the house, people will criticize Brother Wendong." She spoke as tears fell heavily.

"So you want to move out?" Pei Qin asked.

"Could we move with you first?" Xie Yi looked at her with a hopeful and sorrowful expression, "Wait until I’m out of mourning, and the Princess can accept me, then I can move back in."

Pei Qin also thought it was appropriate for the siblings to move out, "Originally, I thought to send someone with you to your hometown after the New Year, to separate the assets that belong to you and your brother. Once you return to the capital, you can set up your own residence and live comfortably. As for future matters, you might have a different perspective by then." A trip back home and dealing with the Xie family fighting over assets would give her deeper insights and a broader perspective.

Xie Yi cried and clasped onto her skirt, "Madam, please, let us move out! Let us move with you first!"

"Did you listen to the servant’s idle talk?" Pei Qin looked at her and sighed.

Xie Yi tightened her lips and silently shook her head.

But her expression and demeanor had already revealed everything. It wasn’t just idle talk from the servants, there was more.

Pei Qin thought of her previous role as a family elder, almost like a mother-in-law. Xie Yi was in a difficult situation now, and since there was an opportunity, she wanted to cling to her mother-in-law’s power for a favorable position. In the future, if she couldn’t compete with Princess Xi Yun, she could at least avoid being suppressed. After thinking a moment, "We all still have to spend the New Year together. You can move to the Marquis Mansion for these days!"

"Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!" Xie Yi hurriedly bowed her head several times.

Pei Qin extended her hand to help her up, and Xie Yi quickly stood by herself, then kneeled and bowed again, hurrying back to pack her luggage.

She and Xie Ze didn’t have much luggage, and their clothes were quickly packed.

Pei Qian heard Pei Qin agreeing to let Xie Yi and Xie Ze move to Tiance Mansion and rushed over, "Elder sister, are you crazy? How could you let those shameless two move to Tiance Mansion? Aren’t you afraid she’ll start scheming against you again?"

"Enough! Stop conjecturing all day. There’s a wedding here, and it’s indeed inappropriate for them to stay. After the New Year, you’ll be moving too! They will just move to the Marquis Mansion first, and after the New Year, we’ll send them back to sort out their family property," Pei Qin said, knowing she herself had married someone devoted, but in this feudal society, she couldn’t force others to be like her and Mo Heng. Pei Wendong’s case was different, with three people entangled, and thus not easily resolved.

Although it was just for a month or so, Pei Qian still didn’t want Xie Yi and Xie Ze to move to Tiance Mansion, following her elder sister, "I just feel she has ill intentions!"

"There aren’t that many good or bad intentions! Doing bad things brings retribution! Didn’t the entirety of Old Pei’s House end up spending the New Year in jail?" Pei Qin laughed and told her to focus on the house, "We still have to go clean the pots today! Don’t be too late!"

Pei Yuan, less concerned, thought it inappropriate for Xie Yi and her brother to continue living at home, especially close to the wedding date; moving out then would be very embarrassing, and it would reflect poorly on Anping Prince Mansion as well. Tiance Mansion was so large, the two residing in one corner wouldn’t easily see her elder sister or pull any tricks! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Xie Yi and Xie Ze packed quickly, and the Mansion soldiers also took their luggage along.

The accommodations in Tiance Mansion were all arranged earlier, and there was no place meant for Xie Yi or Xie Ze.
