Chapter 107: Support her!

Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, and seemed to react belatedly.

She stood there, took a deep breath, and turned to hug Nuonuo: "Axuan, let's go."

Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly upon seeing this and hurriedly grabbed Bai Shutong's sleeve, "Where are you going?"

Bai Shutong's eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly and resolutely refused to let them fall. She stared at Rong Xuanzhou and spoke word by word, "We can go anywhere. Don't let me and my two children be humiliated in vain!"

Seeing Bai Shutong about to leave, Rong Xuanzhou grabbed her waist and held the crying Nuonuo in his arms.

Nuonuo is familiar with Rong Xuanzhou. After being picked up by Rong Xuanzhou, she held Rong Xuanzhou's neck with her two little hands and cried very aggrievedly!

"My, my mother...my mother is not a bad person...my father is a hero..."

"Wuwuwuwu... You bad woman! How could you say that about my mother!"

Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly, his eyes gentle yet distressed. He hugged Nuonuo and glared coldly at Pei Jingxu: "Pei Jingxu, apologize!"

Pei Jingxu seemed to be frightened by the man's roar, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

She bit her lip slightly, and frantically tried to explain to Rong Xuanzhou, "Er, Erlang, that's not what I meant..."

"I'm just worried..."

"Are you worried that I might change my mind while I'm killing enemies on the battlefield?" Rong Xuanzhou's face was stern and frosty. "Pei Jingxu, where were you when Shu Tong was collecting herbs to treat the wounds of my soldiers?"

"Where were you when she was being chased by the enemy and refusing to surrender?"

"She single-handedly saved me from falling unconscious after jumping off a cliff, and took care of me day and night. Where were you?!"

Rong Xuanzhou's eyes were bloodshot, and every word he said was like a knife: "You are just a girl from the boudoir, only knowing the trivial matters of the backyard and some tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. Do you know that Shu Tong once saved the entire army from the plague by himself? That was how the army was able to preserve its combat effectiveness and kill the enemy with one blow!"

"Pei Jingxu, don't impose the dirty thoughts of those women in your harem on Shutong!"

Rong Xuanzhou looked at Pei Jingxu and spoke word by word: "Now, apologize to Shu Tong!"

The people around looked at Pei Jingxu, pointing and talking with contempt.

Rong's face looked grim, as if she was blaming Pei Jingxu for ruining today's good day.

Rong Baimao's expression became even colder. He attached great importance to the reputation of the Rong family. Her "making a fuss" today was simply bringing shame to the Rong family!

"Pei Jingxu, I'm telling you to apologize to Shu Tong!"

Rong Xuanzhou stood in front of Pei Jingxu with a cold face and a frosty expression!

"She was praying for you. She copied five hundred and forty-eight pages of Buddhist scriptures."

A cold and solemn voice came from behind Pei Jingxu.

Rong Jianxue was wearing a bright red official robe, his eyes were cold and his face was frosty.

Seeing Rong Jianxue, Rong Xuanzhou's eyes lit up: "Brother!"

Rong Jianxue's face was devoid of any unnecessary emotion, and her voice was cold and solemn: "After she learned of your death in battle, she cried while helping you with the funeral. She mourned for a year, abstaining from food and drink and not leaving the house."

"She used her dowry to supplement the household expenses and never let her in-laws go short of food, clothing, or other necessities."

"When you were away, she was filial to her parents-in-law. When mother was not in good health for a while, she served her morning and night without missing a single day."

"Last year, my mother suffered from a leg disease and could not get out of bed. So she carried her mother around, massaging her legs every day and looking for medicine everywhere. Only then did my mother recover."

Rong Jianxue stood in front of Pei Jingxu, her eyes cold and stern: "Rong Xuanzhou, since you know nothing, then shut up."

The smile on Rong Xuanzhou's face disappeared.

He opened his eyes wide, never expecting that his elder brother would treat him like this when they met for the first time!

"Brother, why are you helping Pei Jingxu teach me a lesson?"

Rong Xuanzhou looked surprised, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only mutter like this.

Rong Jianxue didn't look at him again, her eyes fell on Bai Shutong and her two children.

When Rong Xuanzhou glanced at Nuonuo in his arms, she forgot to cry for a moment.

Xuanxuan looked up, glanced at him warily, and said nothing.

"Since Madam Bai wants to leave, it's difficult for us, the Rong family, to keep her."

Rong Jianxue signaled to Jiang Hui beside her with her eyes.

Jiang Hui understood, nodded, stepped forward, took out a heavy bag of silver from his sleeve, and handed it to Bai Shutong.

"I have rented a house on the East Street of Chang'an City. Madam Bai can move there with the children. All this money will be used for your personal use."

Bai Shutong stared blankly at the purse in his hand, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Rong Xuanzhou saw this and stepped forward hurriedly: "Brother, Shutong she——"

"I said, shut up." Rong Jianxue ran out of patience and warned in a low voice.

The Rong couple on the higher ground saw that something was wrong, and Rong hurriedly said, "Jianxue, this is all a misunderstanding, don't—"

"Isn't mother still under house arrest?" Rong Jianxue showed no mercy, her eyes cold and stern. "Who allowed you to come out?"

The smile on Rong's face froze instantly, and his expression became ugly.

Rong Baimao rubbed his brows and warned in a deep voice: "Jianxue, stop now."

Rong Jianxue doesn't seem to be in a good mood today.

His gaze finally shifted from Rong Xuanzhou to Bai Shutong's face.

The eyes were deep and dark, like a bottomless cold pond, silently conveying a coldness that could not be violated.

"Madam Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Shutong frowned slightly.

She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Nuonuo in Rong Xuanzhou's arms.

Nuonuo moved her eyes, and the next second she burst into tears: "Uncle Xuanzhou! Nuonuo has a headache! Nuonuo's head hurts so much..."

Upon hearing this, Rong Xuanzhou no longer cared about anything else and ran towards the Rong Mansion with Nuonuo in his arms!

"Don't be afraid, Nuonuo. I'll call a doctor to see you right away!"

Bai Shutong anxiously called out "Nuonuo" and took the boy's hand and followed him into Rong Mansion.

Seeing this, the Rong couple turned around and followed.

The people who had gathered together came to their senses belatedly.

"It's no wonder Pei has the wrong idea. The second young master of the Rong family treats Madam Bai's child... like his own daughter..."

"Actually, I was just about to say this. If it weren't for Second Young Master Rong's rebuttal, I would also think that she was a concubine that Second Young Master kept outside..."

"How can you put your wife down in front of outsiders like this? It's really wrong..."

“…”

Pei Jingxu stood behind Rong Jianxue, looking at the man's tall and straight back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

——It seems that she needs to change her strategy slightly.

Rong Xuanzhou's sudden return to the capital disrupted Pei Jingxu's previous plans, but fortunately...

Judging from the current situation, Rong Jianxue, this "tiger", is indeed very handy.

"Thank you for speaking for me..."

Behind Rong Jianxue, the woman's voice was soft and trembling, as if she had not yet recovered from the quarrel.

Rong Jianxue frowned slightly and closed his eyes.

Without turning around or responding, Rong Jianxue ignored her and walked into the Rong Mansion on her own.

Seeing this, Jiang Hui, who was standing by, gave Pei Jingxu a meaningful look, but without saying anything, he chased after him.

Pei Jingxu tilted his head, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

——She really wanted to know how Rong Jianxue would spend the night?
