Chapter 115 "Are you angry?"

Pei Jingxu's eyes flashed with panic, as if she had not expected the man to come.

Rong Jianxue easily took the bow and arrow from her hand and looked away from the bloodstains on her face.

A hint of pride flashed in Nuonuo's eyes.

She suppressed the smile on her lips, ran to Rong Jianxue crying, and hugged Rong Jianxue's thighs: "Uncle Jianxue, Nuonuo knows I was wrong, don't blame me..."

Pei Jingxu knew that Rong Jianxue had not seen the whole "truth" just now.

She just wanted to see, without knowing the whole truth, who would Rong Jianxue help?

At least in his previous life, he would not take sides with anyone.

In her previous life, these two children had often picked on her. If they met Rong Jianxue, they would put on a pitiful look, as if they were the ones being bullied.

At that time, Rong Jianxue would not completely believe her because of her explanation, nor would she be partial to the two children because of their crying.

In fact, he seldom paid attention to matters in the inner courtyard of the West Courtyard. If he really encountered them, he would ask about them one by one in detail to restore the truth.

Therefore, in the "confrontation" with Bai Shutong in the previous life, Pei Jingxu could only defeat Bai Shutong when Rong Jianxue was involved.

In this life, Pei Jingxu really wants to know——

Will it be different?

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly and looked at Nuonuo, who was hugging Rong Jianxue's thighs and crying loudly. Her voice was still calm and sharp: "Apologizing, not everyone who cries is right."

Nuonuo seemed to be deaf and continued to cry loudly while hugging Rong Jianxue.

Pei Jingxu raised his eyes and looked at Rong Jianxue.

Rong Jianxue didn't look at her. Instead, he lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was hugging his legs and crying.

Until Nuonuo was really tired of crying, her eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse.

Rong Jianxue then turned to Nuonuo and said coldly, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment, and didn't even care about crying. Her eyelashes were wet, and she looked up at Rong Jianxue with her big watery eyes in surprise.

The man's eyes were cold and indifferent: "Since you did something wrong, shouldn't you apologize to the victim?"

"Why apologize to me?" Rong Jianxue's voice was calm and unperturbed, yet she easily saw through her thoughts. "Or do you think that by apologizing to me, you can become a victim and let me seek justice for you?"

Nuonuo's mouth was slightly open, her eyes were shaking, and she stood there in a daze, even forgetting to let go of the hand that was holding Rong Jianxue's thigh.

Rong Jianxue leaned over and pushed Nuonuo away from him, his eyes wandering over the two children.

It fell on the bloodstains on Pei Jingxu's face again.

The mark was very shallow, but her cheeks were fair and rosy, so the red mark looked particularly glaring.

He said nothing, but just lowered his head and clenched the bow and arrow in his hand.

It was the boy who first realized that something was wrong.

He clasped his fists slightly and bowed respectfully towards Pei Jingxu to apologize: "I'm sorry, Second Aunt, it's my poor shooting skills that almost caused a disaster. I beg for your forgiveness."

"Your shooting skills aren't great?" Pei Jingxu chuckled. "I actually think your shooting skills are superb. If you were even an inch off, I'd be covered in blood."

She deliberately acted more aggressive in front of Rong Jianxue.

——She wanted to know how much of her “badness” Rong Jianxue could accept now.

Nuonuo, who was standing by, also reacted. She cried and bowed to Pei Jingxu to apologize: "I'm sorry, Second Aunt, it's Nuonuo's fault. Nuonuo was sick and didn't want to get out of bed, so my brother wanted to shoot arrows to cheer me up..."

"Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, Second Aunt, please don't blame my brother..."

"Since you say your archery skills are not good, I will teach you a few moves today."

Rong Jianxue spoke calmly, ignoring Nuonuo's words, and spoke to Axuan.

Ah Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he had to bite the bullet and clasp his hands together: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Jianxue."

Behind him, Rong Jianxue handed the bow to Pei Jingxu.

Before Pei Jingxu could even react, the man behind her covered her hand, bent his bow and drew his arrow—

“Swoosh——”

The bowstring quickly broke after being tightened!

Pei Jingxu heard the sound of wind being split beside his ears.

The arrow shot straight out, brushed past the boy's ear, cut the solid swing rope, and nailed it firmly to the wooden stake beside him!

With a "bang" sound!

The leaves fell to the ground.

Ah Xuan widened his eyes and looked at Pei Jingxu in disbelief. Then he raised his hand tremblingly and touched his earlobe.

——There was a blood mark on the earlobe.

The rope holding the swing was broken into two by the arrow, and the beautiful swing fell to the ground under the heavy weight.

A mess.

Nuonuo's pupils contracted violently, and she turned her head stiffly, only to find that the swing she had just been sitting on had instantly fallen apart!

Pei Jingxu finally came to his senses.

On her back, she felt the man's steady and powerful heartbeat and breathing.

Rong Jianxue held her hand holding the bow and arrow with one hand, and stretched the bowstring for her with the other hand. The arrow broke through the strong wind, and the leaves of the sycamore tree fell.

Pei Jingxu blinked and came back to his senses a little slowly.

Beside my ear, the man's voice was low and cold: "Are you calming down?"

Pei Jingxu lowered his eyelashes and nodded imperceptibly.

Rong Jianxue put away the longbow and threw it on the ground.

"Have you learned it?" He looked at Axuan and asked calmly.

Ah Xuan's voice trembled slightly as he clasped his fists and bowed: "I've learned it. Thank you, Uncle Jianxue..."

He didn't look at the two of them again. He glanced at Pei Jingxu and turned away.

Seeing this, Pei Jingxu curled up the corners of her lips, but followed with her skirt lifted.

Rong Jianxue didn't wait for her, but took smaller steps.

The two walked to the east courtyard, one in front and one behind.

When Pei Jingxu walked into the East Courtyard, Rong Jianxue had already entered the study.

She was not in a hurry and just stood outside the courtyard waiting.

Soon, the man took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to her: "Apply the ointment."

Pei Jingxu twitched the corner of his mouth, his voice sounding a little guilty: "It's just a minor injury..."

Ignoring what she said, Rong Jianxue sat on the stone bench and said in a cold voice, "Sit down."

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly, but obediently sat down opposite him.

After applying a little ointment on the tip of her thumb, Rong Jianxue raised her hand and applied the ointment on her cheek.

Pei Jingxu felt a chill coming from the cold cream. He frowned and whispered, "Ah Xu, are you being a little unreasonable today?"

——She wanted to know whether what she did today would appear "vicious" in Rong Jianxue's eyes.

She needed to test whether he could accept her "bad" boundaries.

Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged: "Why should I spare someone if I have a reason?"

Pei Jingxu was stunned. He didn't expect Rong Jianxue to say that.

"Besides, you're right." Rong Jianxue calmly stroked her delicate cheek with his fingertips and withdrew his hand. "It's not that whoever cries is right."

Pei Jingxu smiled when he heard this: "But Ah Xu seems to be even more crybaby than those two kids."

"Yeah," Rong Jianxue responded, closing the lid of the ointment, "I don't always side with the truth."

Pei Jingxu was slightly stunned, and then a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

She opened her mouth to say something else when she heard Jiang Hui's voice outside the door: "Master, the Second Master is back. He said... he wants to see the Second Lady."
