After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 297 New arrival
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan thought, "You're using my father to pressure me?"

“Auntie, even if my father came today, if I still say the same thing, no one can change my mind.”

"you……"

The aunt was so angry she was practically fuming. She pointed at Pei Yuan with trembling fingers and cursed, "You're just like that, ungrateful and treacherous. Sooner or later you'll bring trouble to our Pei family."

As she spoke, she turned and left with her entourage.

Pei Yuan coldly watched his concubine disappear from his sight. "If it weren't for Father's favor towards you, I would have turned against you long ago."

The aunt looked seven or eight parts similar to Pei Yuan's deceased mother; otherwise, Pei Yuan's father would not have married this woman.

Pei Yuan bowed to his aunt's retreating figure. No matter what angry words she said, he still had to show proper etiquette.

Pei Yuan led Su Xiaoxiao and the others through the moon gate and into the general's mansion.

After passing through a moon gate, Pei Yuan and his group arrived at a very unique courtyard.

It was tidied up very neatly; there wasn't a single fallen leaf to be found on the ground.

There are more than a dozen houses in this courtyard. After entering the main house, servants brought hot water for everyone to wash up.

Pei Yuan sat in the middle seat, and Su Xiaoxiao and the others also sat down. Maids and servants brought over tea and snacks, all of which were very exquisite.

Pei Yuan waved his hand, ordering someone to go downstairs and prepare the meal.

Pei Yuan then took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "I'm sorry you had to go through that. I didn't expect things to turn out this way..."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly said, "It's okay, this isn't something you can decide. I know you fell out with your aunt because of me, and you're not feeling good about it either."

Su Xiaoxiao said to Pei Yuan, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let the servants help Liu Qiaomei and the others arrange their rooms! Then we'll eat. We're so hungry; I got hungry on the way here."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk about this anymore, Pei Yuan had no choice but to change the subject.

"Go ask the kitchen if the food is ready. If it is, let's start eating!"

They arrived at the restaurant together, and the decor could only be described as high-end, classy, ​​and impressive—it was truly remarkable, prompting one to exclaim, "As expected of the General's Mansion, it's something else!"

The tables were all carved from huanghuali wood, exquisite and very sturdy. Soon, the servants set the tables full of food.

"Everyone, eat! Stop staring, aren't you all hungry?"

It wasn't until all the food was served that everyone felt a little strange, even though they had eaten together as a large group at Su Xiaoxiao's house before.

However, back then, there didn't seem to be so many formalities. As soon as they arrived at the General's Mansion, a large group of servants were serving them, addressing them as "General" repeatedly. Instantly, everyone, including Su Xiaoxiao, couldn't help but become respectful to Pei Yuan in front of them.

Something felt different; everyone had become very reserved, barely daring to breathe.

Normally, Xiao Bao and Da Bao are so naughty, but now they are both sitting upright in their seats, facing a table full of delicious food, not daring to move at all.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Eat! Just like at home."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one took the first bite of food.

Pei Yuan placed a chicken leg on Da Bao's and Xiao Bao's plates. "Da Bao, Xiao Bao, eat up. Don't you two love chicken legs the most?"

"I……"

Da Bao and Xiao Bao remained upright, not daring to move. Pei Yuan was also a bit confused, but after looking at the dozen or so maids and servants standing around him, he finally understood why.

Pei Yuan waved to them, "All of you, get out of here. Don't come back without my permission!"

After the maids and servants agreed, they all left.

The huge restaurant was now empty except for Su Xiaoxiao's family and Pei Yuan, making it feel as if they had returned to Su Xiaoxiao's home in Baihua Village.

Finally, everyone began to relax. Su Xiaoxiao was the first to pick up her bowl and chopsticks and start eating, and the others followed suit, finally breaking the dull and oppressive atmosphere in the room.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao had oil all over their mouths from eating, and Xiao Bao even rubbed his oily mouth on Pei Yuan's clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "This is all because Su Xiaoxiao didn't teach me well at home."

However, Pei Yuan wouldn't let Su Xiaoxiao interfere, and even seemed to be enjoying it. Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to get involved in Xiao Bao's mischief. After all, he was a child, and what could she do if she didn't spoil him?
Moreover, Su Xiaoxiao felt that Pei Yuan seemed to really like Xiao Bao, especially Xiao Bao. Could it be because Xiao Bao is a girl?
While they were eating and laughing merrily, on the other side, in Aunt Pei Yuan's courtyard, she had already started smashing almost everything she could in her room.

"Who does that vixen think she is! Pei Yuan actually turned against me for that vixen! It's outrageous!"

The maids and servants didn't dare to come over and offer any advice, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"A country bumpkin, a widow, and with two children. Pei Yuan actually says he won't marry anyone but her! Haha... What a ridiculous joke!"

The aunt was almost driven mad with anger.

"By the way, what's her name?"

A woman dressed as a maidservant quickly came over and said, "Replying to Madam, her name is Su Xiaoxiao."

“Su Xiaoxiao…”

The aunt gritted her teeth and kept groaning.

"Just wait, I'll go and have a good talk with the Emperor."

The aunt thought to herself, "He actually abandoned his niece Tang Xiaoman for this Su Xiaoxiao. Pei Yuan is such a heartless man. I will make him pay for this."

The servants arranged rooms for everyone, with Xiao Bao and Da Bao each having a large, luxurious room.

Moreover, it was the first time that Da Bao and Xiao Bao had ever experienced such a luxurious room. To be honest, they didn't know how they would sleep on such a soft bed.

Su Xiaoxiao truly felt what it meant to be noble.

Although they're all beds, how did they manage to make this one so soft and comfortable that you just want to sink into it?

After settling the two children in, Su Xiaoxiao followed Pei Yuan to his study.

Pei Yuan sat at the table, engrossed in a book. Su Xiaoxiao was instantly captivated by the scholarly air emanating from him.

This guy is so handsome. He was incredibly brave and invincible when fighting on the front lines.

The way he looked while reading in his study was so refined and charming; indeed, handsome and charismatic men are all multifaceted.

Pei Yuan put down his book, came to Su Xiaoxiao, hugged her tightly, and asked her gently, "Are you tired today? Do you want to take a nap with me?"

Su Xiaoxiao gently shook her head, "No need. You're already so tired, don't read anymore, take a rest."
