Chapter 2116: Three hundred taels of silver without evidence
PEI GE walked out of the bridal room and looked at the sunlight outside. The guests downstairs had already surrounded the area. She looked into the distance and saw Ji Ziming’s figure not too far away.
The hall on the first floor was full of guests, each with their own blessings and thoughts. They looked at the person they were looking for and never stopped their steps.
The wedding banquet was supposed to be held in the afternoon, but it was just past noon, and the hotel was already packed with guests.
PEI GE slowly walked down the stairs and happened to catch sight of the three children conversing inside when she peeked at the entrance. She walked over and, thus, heard what the three children were planning.
“Sister, don’t you think you shouldn’t have done that? if you had put that thing in mommy’s room, wouldn’t mommy have known earlier? you put it in daddy’s room, but daddy doesn’t come back to his room often. Isn’t that the same as not putting that thing in there?”
An an’s heart ached for his sister as he looked at her. This younger sister of his was always able to mess up everything he had planned out. It was as if this had become his sister’s standard.
“But, yang, you didn’t tell me to put it in daddy’s room. How can you blame me?”
The girl was unconvinced. She looked at an an’s eyes, as if she wanted to make her big brother’s words come true.
“Why Didn’t I tell you? isn’t this …”
“What are you guys talking about?”
PEI GE approached them and could not help but laugh at their worried looks.”Let me ask you; what’s wrong?” Why did they all look like this? Grandma is getting married. Aren’t you guys happy?”
PEI GE did not expect it to be about her and Ji Ziming, and her heart ached at the sight of the three children.
“No, mommy, we’re not unhappy. We’re very happy.”
The three children jumped in shock when they saw her walk over.”Mommy, why are you here? is there something wrong?”
“No, I just came to see what the three of you were doing. It seems like you’re hiding something from me. Tell me, what is it? what is it that you’re treating me like this, as if you have to tell me?”
PEI GE looked at the three children ‘s’ three hundred taels of silver without evidence ‘expressions and smiled inwardly. They did not seem to know that she already knew what they were going to say.
“Mommy, it’s really not like that. Hurry up and leave. Grandma definitely needs you. The three of us flower girls can take care of ourselves. If not, we still have Auntie Zhang. Mommy, hurry up and go with daddy. We’ll be fine here.”
“Oh? You guys are fine here? Don’t you need me to take care of you? Have you three forgotten about mommy? are you doing something behind mommy’s back?”
“We didn ‘t, we didn’ t, we didn ‘t.”
The three children looked at her with a hint of surprise in their innocent eyes. Their mother was indeed the one who knew them well. Indeed, nothing about her could escape her mother’s eyes. Indeed, all of this was the truth that she understood.
“Mommy, go do your work. We don’t need you here. If you don’t go, then we’ll have to leave and go find other children to play with. ”
The three children’s voices carried a hint of laughter as they looked at her eyes in surprise. As long as they saw their mother’s expression, they seemed to become even more lovable.
“Alright, I’ll go down and help. You three take good care of yourselves. If you need anything, come to me. Mommy is downstairs.”
Her voice was gentle as she looked at the three children with gentleness in her eyes. The motherly love she exuded was especially sensitive and calm.
“Alright, we know.”
The three children smiled as they looked at her with increasing reliance. Their mother always treated them like children, which made them feel even more uneasy. It was not their fault that their mother always worried about them.
Seeing that she had left, the three children gathered around her and whispered,”I told you; you guys were speaking too loudly just now. I shouldn’t have told you that I hid that thing in daddy’s room.”
There was a hint of unhappiness in the girl’s eyes as she looked at the two and continued,”what’s the use of you two brothers? it’s still up to me and my little sister to do the work during crucial times.”
The girl proudly looked at her two brothers, her eyes filled with the radiance of a Queen.
“Yes, we do have to keep an eye on you and follow your instructions. That’s why you didn’t go to the places we agreed on. You’ve been hiding in places we don’t know. Little sister, tell me, shouldn’t we just watch what you say? shouldn’t we just let you say whatever you want?”
The boy’s voice was cold as he crossed his arms and shot his daughter a cold look. The way he spoke just now was very similar to how he acted when he was cold.
The girl raised a brow and answered,”of course not. Second brother, I’m telling you; don’t bully me. If you do, I’ll go look for daddy. I’ll tell him that you’re bullying me, and I’ll tell him that you’ve never been willing to play with me or take care of me, your little sister. You’ve never been willing …”
“Then I’ll go tell Daddy that you were the one who put that thing in his room. Is that okay?”
The boy’s voice was cold and calm as he looked at her. The girl, on the other hand, was shocked for two to three seconds before her face turned red and she angrily retorted,”you’re really something, brother. How could you treat me like this? if you tell Daddy, I’ll tell him everything you did.”
“But you have to tell Daddy first. It’s none of my business. Plus, it’s been so long. I’ve given you a chance, but you didn’t want to cherish it. Now you’re still blaming me. Blaming me for being bad. Then, are you …”
While the two kids were arguing, an an, who was standing at the side, did not say or do anything and merely watched them.
