Chapter 460: Chapter 325 Your Daughter-in-law is Running Away (Request for Monthly Tickets)_3
Pei Zhan said, "Did you need something from me?"
Cheng Chili glanced around, then lowered his voice, "I was just worried about you. Has Aunt said anything to you these days?"
Pei Zhan glanced at him, "What would she need to say to me?"
Cheng Chili stiffened his neck, "How could you forget? Aunt said before that once she avenges the grudge, she’ll split up with you. You wouldn’t just brush it off as casual talk, right?"
Pei Zhan’s face darkened a bit, "And so what if I remember? Hasn’t she said nothing? She’s a person who deeply values feelings. After being married for two or three months, maybe she’s changed her mind?"
"Two or three months is nothing!" Cheng Chili said, "She’s had six years of affection with Xu Yin! Can you really compare your two or three months to that?"
Pei Zhan’s face turned black, and he started walking towards the palace gate.
Cheng Chili chased after him, his legs not as long as Pei Zhan’s. He only caught up when they left the palace, just as Pei Zhan was about to mount a horse.
"Don’t leave! I’m worried about you! I heard you haven’t been going home these days. Are you afraid she’ll bring up the split if you go home?"
Pei Zhan couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and spurred his horse onto the street.
Cheng Chili caught up again.
This time he followed him straight to Pei Mansion.
Once inside Pei Zhan’s courtyard, Cheng Chili could no longer hold it in and hurried forward, blocking him in the small garden. "What are you hiding from? You’re a big man, a dignified General Pingxi, and now you’re avoiding facing this? Where can you even hide?"
Pei Zhan put his hands on his hips, "Are you done yet?"
Cheng Chili chuckled twice, crossing his arms as he sized him up, "Revenge is a dish best served cold. Back then, you toyed with me as if molding clay into balls, and now shouldn’t I watch how you handle your drama?"
Pei Zhan glanced at him, brushed past him, and walked forward again.
Cheng Chili said, "I’ll tell Aunt that you’re deliberately avoiding her because you don’t want to honor your previous agreement!
"You want to be crafty, to renege on your promise!
"Remember how Aunt dealt with Mrs. Du when she wanted to back out of a marriage promise?
"If you dare to be crafty, just see how she deals with you!"
Just as Pei Zhan was about to leave the garden, he suddenly stopped and swiftly turned back. In a few strides, he reached Cheng Chili, who was about to escape.
"What are you doing?"
Cheng Chili turned to look at him, "I’m telling you, this time your threats won’t work. I definitely won’t help you unless you call me brother! You have to beg me!"
Pei Zhan squinted his eyes, about to speak. After a moment of looking at him, he closed his mouth.
He then released the hand that was holding Cheng Chili by the back of his collar.
Cheng Chili watched him silently turn away and leave the garden, swallowing back the gloating remarks he had prepared.
He scratched his head, "Something’s wrong! Why is he acting so timid today?..."
"Uncle Seven, who are you calling timid?"
A voice came from under his armpit just then.
Cheng Chili looked down to see Liang Xuan had appeared beside him at some point.
He said, "Nothing, I was just talking about the big wild goose that flew by earlier."
He looked Liang Xuan over, "Why are you here? I heard your grandmother and second grandmother came back, aren’t you going home?"
"Oh, don’t mention it!" Liang Xuan waved his hand dismissively, "They came back, but I don’t know what’s gotten into my mother. I just finished bowing to my grandmother and second grandmother, and she sent me here.
"But when I got here, I found out that Aunt Five went to my house again!"
Cheng Chili’s heart thumped, "Did Aunt Five go back to see your grandmother and the others? Do you know what they talked about?"
"I don’t know!" Liang Xuan shrugged.
Cheng Chili thoughtfully watched Pei Zhan’s departing direction, then quickly said, "I reckon that your Uncle Five won’t be going out today. You’d better stay here and keep an eye on them, and see if Aunt Five says anything to him."
Liang Xuan rolled his eyes, "What else could Uncle Five do with his puppy love attitude towards his wife? They’re probably just whispering sweet nothings in bed!"
Cheng Chili shook his head fervently like a rattle drum, "That’s impossible! Aunt Five hasn’t even let him into the bed!"
Liang Xuan’s mouth dropped open in surprise, "No way? Aren’t they supposed to share a bed after getting married?"
"They’re different!" Cheng Chili leaned in to whisper, "They’re faking it!"
Liang Xuan was even more surprised, "Really?"
Cheng Chili straightened his posture, "If you don’t believe me, keep an eye out quietly. With your smarts, you should be able to tell, right?"
