Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 337.2: Truly of the Same Bloodline

Chapter 337.2: Truly of the Same Bloodline

The clan leader madam reached out to grab their hand, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing, no need to call the doctor.” She gradually calmed down, “How come you two came over?”

Such an amiable manner made the two sisters practically overwhelmed by the sudden favor. The younger sister somewhat hesitantly opened her mouth, “Just heard grandmother seemingly……….”

The older sister hurriedly pinched her secretly. They’d kept their eyes on Pei Xiu Ying, that s.l.u.t, at all times, so naturally just learned very quickly that their grandmother seemingly wasn’t too well, but this kind of thing, can it be said out loud? “Younger sister and I just came over to check on grandmother. Just, this granddaughter sees that grandmother seemingly…………Just now, we ran into Xiu Ying outside. You have always loved her the most, how come she didn’t stay with you longer?”

The clan leader madam may be old, but her eyesight was actually still pretty good. She had the two sisters’ movements all taken in. To even play little tricks in front of her face, if switched with the past, perhaps she would’ve gotten angry, and afterwards, coldly have the two sisters sent out. But now, she feels some things really were quite laughable.

Speaking of which, these two children were actually her direct descendant. Pei Xiu Ying was just her older sister’s descendant. Just, her relations.h.i.+p with her older sister was good, and since childhood, they’ve never once fought before, let alone have some dirty scandals. As such, her older sister’s children, from the start, she has always treated as her own children, and with her own children, she has always treated them equally. All these years, even for the people in the Pei clan, many all believed that the di born children were all given birth to by her, because no one felt there was anything wrong, so naturally won’t deliberately go explain.

Towards these two children, she felt somewhat guilty towards, but it was also just this. At most, in the future, she will just no longer be biased towards Xiu Ying. She was someone that was already half buried in the dirt, so unlikely to go as far as to just immediately have all her feelings retracted and transferred onto these two children because Xiu Ying broke her heart.

“I will be going out and will be letting Xiu Ying follow along, so let her go back to pack up.”

The two sisters mutually looked to one another. Their grandmother has not left Pei County in over ten years. Even if it’s a certain in-law family’s old ancestor’s birthday, she has all never attended. This time, suddenly needing to go out, certainly won’t be a small matter. If not taking along Pei Xiu Ying, then they wouldn’t have any other thoughts either, but since Pei Xiu Ying was going, then they must also follow along no matter what. “Grandmother, take us along too.”

“Yes, yes, grandmother, take us along too. We promise we will obediently listen to grandmother, and also won’t go provoke Xiu Ying.”

The clan leader madam was somewhat in a daze, “You two also want to go? Do you know what this is for?”

“Regardless of what, grandmother can’t possibly have us sold off, right? Grandmother, just take us along, please?”

Won’t have you two sold? Heheh, this trip, what difference is there from selling someone? However, based on the Pei clan leader’s saying, she also needed to pick a few more, and certainly can only pick from the grandchildren generation. Among the youngest generation, aside from Xiu Ying, the others were all too small, so naturally can’t take along. Logically speaking, if truly wanting to make a marriage connection, these two children’s status was actually the most suitable.

“Go have your parents called over. I will have the matter explained to them. If they agree to you two going, I will take you two along.” She was just a grandmother, not their parents, and moreover, she was also unable to do something like having her di born granddaughter offered up to someone as a concubine, even if that person was her outer grandson. That’s why, she still needed to explain clearly to their parents, and see their opinion. As for whether or not it needs to be explained to these two children, that was also their business.

As for the other candidates, there were plenty to pick from. Never mind the shu-born’s di-born, and the shu-born’s shu-born, she even had one or two shu daughters that were of marriageable age. Of course, the last kind, in terms of family rank, they were her outer grandson’s paternal aunt. She was unable to do such a deranged thing, but the rest, there weren’t any misgivings. She won’t care what feelings you have, or what thoughts you have, just need to pick the beautiful ones. Of course, because they might become someone of her outer grandson’s rear court, this temperament also needed to be good.

The sisters looked to one another in dismay. In other words, this really wasn’t a small matter. After thinking about it slightly, they were even a bit excited.

Their father, during this time period, was actually at home. As such, their parents were very quickly invited over.

The man was already over fifty, and was the current Pei clan leader madam’s first child. His current wife was already the third one, and the two of them were nearly twenty years apart in age. The woman appeared to still be a young madam, and the man…………forget it. It was better to not say.

The Pei clan leader madam deliberated for a moment, and in the end, still just met with her own son, because she wasn’t sure whether or not this daughter-in-law knew about Guan Guan’s matter.

As the Pei clan leader’s di son, and also not a useless one, the great majority of the matters regarding the Pei clan, he was still aware of. Moreover, because of the Pei clan leader personally teaching by word and example, their natural disposition was all at least thirty percent similar to the Pei clan leader’s. In the very beginning, when planning to make marriage ties with Jin Qinw.a.n.g, what he thought of first was precisely his own twin daughters. However, the Pei clan leader nevertheless had Pei Xiu Ying pulled out. He didn’t dare to disobey his father, so even if he had complaints inside, he still didn’t dare to say anything. Now that there was an opportunity, he naturally didn’t have a reason to not agree.

Seeing this son with a happy expression, readily agreeing, the clan leader madam just had two words in her heart: ‘As expected.’

“……………Then why don’t you go explain to your wife and two children. It’s best if you can ask their opinion. Becoming a concubine isn’t anything glorious after all, let alone even for the imperial family.”

“Mother, you’re thinking too much. At present, naturally it’s all kept a secret. In the future, when that nephew ascends the throne as the emperor, our Pei clan’s daughters, even if not as the empress, would still at least be one of the four consorts^[1]. In fact, might even be the same as younger sister that year, specially getting conferred as the Imperial n.o.ble Consort. Such glory and honor, how would it be a disgraceful matter?”

These words really were just like his old man, taking things for granted.

The clan leader madam forcibly tugged the corner of her mouth. These sons, including the ones given birth to by her older sister, were actually all rather respectful towards her, and perhaps also can be considered sufficiently filial. But, for big and small matters, they all won’t tell her, or inquire her opinion, let alone listen to her. Clearly knowing that towards their younger sister’s matter, she cared about the most, yet to say it this casually, directly stabbing into her heart, was this really considered filial? No matter how cold the heart was, it was also no more than this. “Setting out tomorrow.”

“Yes, this son will take one’s leave.” In terms of bearing and etiquette, there wasn’t the slightest thing out of place. ————But no matter how good this kind of superficial appearance was, what use was there?

After leaving, and returning to his own courtyard, regardless whether it was his wife or his two daughters, the specifics, he all didn’t say, just telling them that the person they will be meeting is Jin Qinw.a.n.g, and what they needed to do was just win his love and stay by his side. And at the same time, it’s best if they can have Pei Xiu Ying kicked aside. The Pei clan leader right now appear to still be healthy, but one can’t deny the truth that he was already old, and might at any time………….Right now, it similarly was the time for them, these brothers, to fight for power. On Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s side, it was a very crucial step. If his daughters can triumph, then the bargaining chips in his hand will immediately double. Even if in the end, the position of clan leader isn’t his, he would still have the ability to fight with the main branch. “……..You two alone perhaps can’t beat Pei Xiu Ying, but your advantage lies in the fact that you two have the same face. Jin Qinw.a.n.g has gone through countless beauties, yet may not have necessarily seen twin beauties before. Men ordinarily have a very strong desire in seeking out novelty……….”
