He didn't talk much and didn't say anything auspicious. The second master took the lead in raising the wine glass and said with a smile: "Mother, I will toast you first. I wish you a happy new year and everything goes well."

His appearance followed the old lady's. He was not as tall and mighty as his eldest brother. Instead, he was graceful and gentle. In his thirties, he had a kind of elegance that had settled down over the years, and he felt very gentle.

Pei Xing only leaned lazily on the back of the chair, casually playing with the wine glass in his hand, looking like he was out of the way from start to finish.

Next, the juniors also said pleasant things one after another. Because the old lady likes to listen to music, the second wife also invited a few excellent singers.

Everyone ate and listened to music, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Cheng'er didn't like listening to music, and she was full after a while. When she looked around curiously, she saw the third uncle sitting on the other side of her grandmother. He couldn't help but glance at Pei Xing several times. Not afraid, she bent her lips and shook the jade pendant on her neck.

Pei Xing didn't expect that the child would dare to take the initiative to ignore him, so he hooked his finger at him and called out like a kitten, "Come here."

As soon as he said these words, the surroundings instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Cheng'er. There was gloating in the eyes of the young, but he felt that this little fool must have annoyed the third uncle.

Everyone is waiting for a good show.

Zhong Li subconsciously grabbed Cheng'er's little hand, and when she met Pei Xing's slightly evil gaze, her heart tightened, and her little face was faintly pale.

The last time she and Pei Xing broke up, she was afraid of him taking revenge, and also afraid that he would take anger on Chenger. Although she didn't understand why he wanted to give Chenger a jade pendant, she did not dare to let Chenger go alone at this moment.

Cheng'er didn't notice her sister's nervousness at all. There were not many people willing to play with him. Cheng'er always wanted to make friends, so he took the initiative to give him the third uncle of the jade pendant, which made him feel good. He took out his small hand and ran. Arrived in front of Pei Xing.

Zhong Li's heart lifted instantly.

Aware of her nervousness, Pei Xing smiled wickedly, he picked up Cheng'er's collar like a chick, and then put him on his lap.

Zhong Li couldn't help standing up, "Uncle San, Uncle San, Cheng'er is naughty, I'll take care of him."

She quickly walked to Pei Xing and reached out to hug Cheng'er, but he didn't let go. After accidentally touching his hand, Zhong Li was a little embarrassed.

In the end, the old lady helped her out and said, "You can't take care of the children, leave it to Li girl."

Pei Xing smiled, "Don't you want to get used to it in advance? Maybe next year, you will have another good grandson."

When he spoke, he glanced at Zhong Li neither light nor heavy, Zhong Li only felt a tightness in her lower abdomen, and her scalp felt numb for a while.

The old lady smiled and said, "If you really like children, you should marry a daughter-in-law quickly."

Pei Xing only smiled lightly, but didn't answer the words. He noticed that Xiao Sheng was staring at him, and there were waves in his always quiet eyes, and the smile on Pei Xing's lips deepened.

After sitting for less than an hour, the old lady was a little tired, and Pei Xing's patience was exhausted, and she said, "I will help my mother to rest."

The old lady smiled and said, "I haven't reached that step yet. No matter how bad it is, there is still a maid and a cane. You eat well, don't worry about me."

Pei Xing didn't listen and directly helped her up.

Gu Lin was very honest today, and did not dare to make eye contact with Pei Xing throughout the whole process. He suspected that the female secret guard was from the third uncle. Seeing that the third uncle did not ask him to settle the account, he was only happy. In the end, the second master had sharp eyes and found it. The wound on his neck, he asked two questions.

The wound was not deep, and now it had scabbed over, so Gu Lin simply fooled it.

During this period, Zhong Li and Qiuyue exchanged glances for a moment, and when Qiuyue nodded slightly, the tight string of Zhong Li loosened slightly.

After the old lady left, Zhenbei Hou also got up quickly. The second master told him that he had something to do with him, and the second lady sat with everyone for a while before saying: "Everyone, let's go too, young man. If you’re not sleepy, you can keep the year old, and Brother Sheng, don’t study hard, it’s time to rest, you need to rest, you’re exhausted, and the old lady will feel distressed, I asked the kitchen to cook bird’s nest for you, you remember to eat it.”

Xiao Sheng got up and thanked him, "I made my aunt bother."

The second lady shook her head.

Cheng'er was a little sleepy, rubbed her eyes, and leaned into Zhong Li's arms. Zhong Li didn't dare to let him sleep, and coaxed: "It's cold on the road, can I sleep after I go back? My sister also prepared a gift for Cheng'er, let's go back. Opening presents."

Cheng'er was more energetic now, "Is it candy?"

Seeing him, she was thinking about eating, Zhong Li pinched his little face, "No, Cheng'er will guess."

Cheng'er shouted in a loud voice: "Jade pendant! New clothes! Plum blossom cake! Small stone! Little cricket! Little Cheng'er!"

After Cui Shengsheng shouted, he couldn't help laughing, and he was completely refreshed.

After the group walked out of Yangxintang, Zhong Li saw Xiao Sheng's figure.

He stood tall and jade-like, standing under the bare sycamore tree, half of his figure melted into the darkness, the lights flickered, and the other half of his figure swayed slightly with the rhythm.

Zhong Li wanted to pretend he didn't see it, but the next moment he heard his voice, "Sister Li, can you take a step to speak?"

Qiuyue and Xia He glanced at their master quietly. Zhong Li only told them about being drugged, not about rebirth. In the eyes of the two, Xiao Sheng was a modest gentleman, and he would definitely be a good husband in the future. Unfortunately, after the master was drugged, he was rescued by Pei Xing, and he forcibly missed a good marriage.

Zhong Li stopped and said, "It's late at night, you and I should avoid suspicion, so I won't take a step. If cousin Xiao wants to ask me about my attitude, I will speak from the bottom of my heart. When I reach the noble girl who agrees with my heart, Cheng'er has long been sleepy, so forgive me for not being able to stay for a long time."

After she finished speaking, she took Cheng'er and left.

"Because of Pei Xing?" His words came from behind, his deep voice seemed particularly cold in the night.

Zhong Li paused slightly, but did not answer.
