Chapter 75 Bully Back

Pei Jingxiao withdrew his arm.

Jiang Zhaoyue didn't let him go and continued to hit him with his crutch.

"Sister-in-law, stop hitting me!" Zhang Siyin quickly grabbed Jiang Zhaoyue's hand.

Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and asked, "What does it have to do with you if I beat him up?"

Zhang Siyin said: "I am his——"

"You have already divorced." Jiang Zhaoyue interrupted her.

Zhang Siyin denied: "We didn't—"

"He's already given you a divorce letter, so what else can it be but a divorce? Stop meddling in other people's business." Jiang Zhaoyue pushed Zhang Siyin away and started slapping Pei Jingxiao on the body and legs. "You talk about divorce, but you act so frivolously and disrespectfully, trying to grab a girl's clothes. You rascal! You must be taught a lesson!"

"No, don't hit his legs!" Zhang Siyin pounced on him.

Jiang Zhaoyue didn't pay attention and the crutch hit Zhang Siyin right on the body.

Zhang Siyin cried out in pain.

Jiang Zhaoyue's heart tightened and he suddenly retracted his crutch.

Pei Jingzhou put his arm around Jiang Zhaoyue's shoulders to prevent her from falling.

"Si Yin, how are you?" Pei Jingxiao hurriedly lifted Zhang Si Yin's sleeve.

A red mark suddenly appeared on Zhang Siyin's fair forearm.

Pei Jingxiao raised his eyes and glared at Jiang Zhaoyue.

"Glazing! Why are you glaring at her? I just hit her like that! Think about what you did?" Jiang Zhaoyue accidentally hit Zhang Siyin, feeling sorry for Zhang Siyin.

But in front of Pei Jingxiao, she still has the moral high ground.

She cursed unscrupulously: "I smashed the teapot and wet her clothes, smashed the soup bowl and burned her hand, threw the pillow and hit her arm... Think about how many things you have done to hurt her?!

"What qualifications do you have to glare at me?!

“Stare again!

"If you keep glaring at me, I'll break your only arm!"

Pei Jingxiao's angry eyes gradually cleared up after hearing this.

"I hate it most when you do selfish things under the pretext of 'doing it for her own good'. If you really want to do it for her own good, you should let her make her own choice." Jiang Zhaoyue handed the crutch to Xiangqiao.

Xiangqiao quickly took it.

Jiang Zhaoyue bent down and pulled Zhang Siyin up again: "Get up, let's go."

"Si Yin!" Pei Jingxiao grabbed Zhang Si Yin's hand.

Zhang Siyin met Pei Jingxiao's gaze and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Pei Jingxiao called out: "Si Yin..."

Zhang Siyin waited quietly for Pei Jingxiao to keep her.

Pei Jingxiao came from a wealthy family. His father was the Duke of Zhenguo, his mother was the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and his aunt was the Empress Dowager. They all loved him very much.

He lived up to their love and excelled in both civil and military affairs. He inherited the ancestral teachings of the Zhenguo Mansion at a young age, made great achievements on the battlefield, and soon met the girl he loved at a banquet - Zhang Siyin.

Although his mother had some complaints about Zhang Siyin, he still married her.

Everything went so smoothly.

He had no idea what frustration was until Zhang Siyin had friction with his mother.

He learned since he was young that "filial piety comes first in everything", which naturally made Zhang Siyin filial, obedient and tolerant.

But Zhang Siyin is not the type to be manipulated. She reasoned with her mother, argued with him, and insisted on doing what she wanted.

He started arguing with her and said a lot of hurtful words to both of them in the impulse.

In a fit of rage, he went to the battlefield again.

Maybe he succeeded too easily in the past and thought that success would come naturally.

But--

He lost that time.

Complete defeat!

Not only did he lose his left arm, but his legs were also severely injured.

He returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion like a useless man. His former high spirits were gone, his former fine clothes and fine horses were gone, and... everything was gone.

He couldn't accept it.

He roared.

He went crazy.

He cried bitterly.

He self-harmed.

…

His parents, younger brother, younger sister, good friends... everyone comforted and encouraged him.

Zhang Siyin was with him every moment, telling him "it will be fine".

But he saw no hope.

Not at all.

He became more and more disgusted with himself, and at the same time, more and more dependent on Zhang Siyin.

He became anxious when he didn't see Zhang Siyin for a quarter of an hour.

As Jiang Zhaoyue said, he was really afraid of losing Zhang Siyin, and felt that he was wasting the beautiful Zhang Siyin, so he wrote a divorce letter and rudely wanted to drive Zhang Siyin away.

Just as Jiang Zhaoyue said, he had never considered what Zhang Siyin was thinking. He was really selfish, self-interested, pretentious, and self-touched.

He doesn't respect Zhang Siyin at all.

His eyes focused on Zhang Siyin's beautiful face again, and he asked with difficulty: "Are you...willing...to stay?"

Pei Jingxiao had an accident on the battlefield, and Zhang Siyin has been regretting, blaming herself, feeling guilty and in pain. If she had been more sensible, if she had been more tolerant... he would not have been so angry as to go to the battlefield.

But all the negativity won't help.

She maintains an optimistic attitude every day and stays by his side.

She didn't mind that he had a broken arm or that his legs were disabled.

She hoped he would cheer up someday.

But what he got was his divorce letter.

She tore up the divorce papers and insisted on staying, which made him angry.

She really had no other choice.

There is really no other way.

Who knew that Jiang Zhaoyue's simple and rough intervention could help him find himself.

Tears rolled down her face, her voice trembling: "I do, I do, I have always been willing."

"I'm like this—"

"I don't care!" Zhang Siyin cried and got excited for the first time. "No matter what you become, you are still Pei Jingxiao, the Pei Jingxiao I love, the one who walked towards me in wedding clothes and led me into the light."

Pei Jingxiao's eyes were red, and she suddenly thought of the Peach Blossom Banquet that year, when young men and women were admiring the flowers, and from time to time someone would dislike her for being from a farm.

But she stood upright under the peach tree like a green bamboo, looking at the trunk of the peach tree.

He walked up and asked, "Miss Zhang, what are you looking at?"

She replied coolly, "Look at the tree."

He asked curiously, "Why don't you look at the flowers?"

She asked in return: "What's so beautiful about flowers?"

He said, "Flowers are beautiful. Don't people like to compare beautiful women to flowers?"

She said firmly, "I am not a flower. If I want to be something, I will be this tree, with branches and trunks supporting a flourishing tree."

…

yes.

She has never been a delicate woman. She is tough, smart and has her own ideas.

How could he have misjudged her?

He held her hand tightly and said firmly: "Okay, then we will face the difficulties together!"

Zhang Siyin nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Get up." Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Zhang Siyin again.

Pei Jingxiao immediately said: "She won't go with you!"

Zhang Siyin turned her head and said, "Sister-in-law, the misunderstanding between Jing Xiao and me has been resolved."

"Oh, now that your misunderstanding has been resolved, you're all targeting me, an outsider?" Jiang Zhaoyue said dissatisfiedly, "Now that I'm pulling you up to apply some medicine, I'm the bad guy who broke up a couple?"

Apply some medicine?

Pei Jingxiao and Zhang Siyin were stunned.

"Second Master, look, they are bullying me alone. I am so pitiful." Jiang Zhaoyue hugged Pei Jingzhou's arm: "Help me bully them back!"
