Chapter 160 Secret Teasing

A burst of agarwood came and easily enveloped her.

Pei Jingxu straightened his body slightly and sat upright in his original position.

——She is now a little sensitive to this agarwood.

Last night she smelled the agarwood for a long time, mixed with other lustful scents, as if it was about to crash into her body.

The women at the table were all stunned, and there was silence all around.

The silence lasted only a moment, and some female relatives reacted and gasped.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Rong Jianxue nodded slightly and pulled away the chair next to Pei Jingxu: "Excuse me."

As he spoke, he sat down next to Pei Jingxu.

There weren't many empty seats in the tent, and some of the young men who had participated in the hunt held their breath and didn't come back for meals.

As soon as Rong Jianxue sat down, the female relatives around her fell silent, not daring to say anything for a moment.

"Brother Xuanzhou, come quickly. There are still two seats here."

A pure voice came from behind Pei Jingxu.

Pei Jingxu's eyelids twitched, and he saw Bai Shutong holding Rong Xuanzhou's hand and coming to Pei Jingxu.

Bai Shutong's eyes widened slightly as if he had just noticed Pei Jingxu standing beside him. Then he pursed his lips and smiled, "Sister Pei, so you're here."

After a pause, she glanced at Rong Xuanzhou beside her, her tone tinged with worry, "Last night... Brother Xuanzhou was looking for you the whole night. He was almost worried to death."

Upon hearing this, the women widened their eyes and looked at each other, understanding what was in each other's eyes.

——General Xuanzhou and Madam Pei Er were not together last night! ?

That, that sound from General Xuanzhou's tent last night...

The women present were naturally not fools.

Looking at Bai Shutong, I saw that her face was rosy and there was a hint of charm in the corners of her eyes. Although she was wearing a dress that covered her neck, the red marks under the gauze were still faintly visible.

The female relatives rolled their eyes and dared not say anything.

Bai Shutong held Rong Xuanzhou's hand as if no one was around and sat opposite Pei Jingxu.

"Brother Xuanzhou, come and sit here."

Bai Shutong patted the empty seat next to him and asked Rong Xuanzhou to come over.

Rong Xuanzhou's face didn't look good.

——He was still angry about how Pei Jingxu treated him just now.

Nodding, he almost glared at Pei Jingxu and sat down next to Bai Shutong.

Weird.

Very weird.

The husband, General Xuanzhou, sat together with the widow Bai Shutong.

And the person sitting next to this Miss Pei Er was actually the eldest brother of General Xuanzhou.

Rong Jianxue's image in everyone's eyes is noble and cold, so it is impossible for people to think that he has anything going on with this Miss Pei.

On the contrary, it was General Xuanzhou and this Bai family——

Bai Shutong smiled and gently poked Rong Xuanzhou's elbow: "Brother Xuanzhou, peel the shrimp for me."

Rong Xuanzhou's brows softened a little, he smiled, nodded and said okay.

Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that this Bai family and General Xuanzhou... are really about to have good things happen.

It's just a pity for Mrs. Pei.

The female relatives cast sympathetic glances at Pei Jingxu. They saw that Mrs. Pei lowered her head, and the knuckles where she was holding the bamboo chopsticks turned slightly white, as if she was enduring something.

——It seems that the rumors in the capital, that the Second Lady is deeply in love with General Xuanzhou, are indeed true.

Seeing Bai and her husband being so affectionate and loving, she must have felt very uncomfortable.

These were the thoughts of the other women at the banquet.

Pei Jingxu naturally didn't know.

At this moment, she didn't have the energy to analyze what these women were thinking.

She lowered her head, holding the bamboo chopsticks in one hand and placing the other hand under the table, silently confronting the hand beside her.

The hand wearing the Buddhist beads covered the back of her hand.

Secretly, unknown to others, hidden under the table.

Pei Jingxu's face turned red, even the tips of his ears were red.

She lowered her head, bit her red lips lightly, and tried to break free from his hand in panic and helplessness.

The slender finger bones brushed across her palm, causing Pei Jingxu to feel a chill.

He stroked along the palm of her hand to her wrist bone, pressing his fingertips on the center of her wrist, as if trying to feel her pulse.

Index finger, middle finger, ring finger.

Three fingers passed through her palm and slowly and unyieldingly climbed up to her wrist.

——As if reminding her of something.

Pei Jingxu's red lips seemed to be dripping with blood, but she didn't dare to struggle hard. Her knuckles trembled slightly and her fingertips were slightly cold.

On the table, the man pushed the porcelain bowl in front of her.

There were a few peeled shrimps in the porcelain bowl, and he pushed it away calmly, as if the bowl had originally belonged to her.

All the female members of the family focused their attention on the loving Bai and Rong Xuanzhou, and no one noticed this side.

The string of Buddhist beads slipped from his wrist bone and was tied around their intertwined wrists.

The Buddhist beads jingled softly, and Pei Jingxu became more nervous, and the hand holding him began to tremble more.

The man's face was cold and he showed no emotion at all.

He was wearing a clean and neat narrow robe today, and his black hair was tied up, hiding some of his coldness and adding a bit of vigor and vitality.

After peeling the shrimp for Bai Shutong, Rong Xuanzhou raised his eyes slightly and looked at Pei Jingxu who was sitting opposite him.

Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Rong Xuanzhou pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

Frowning, Rong Xuanzhou picked up a dish in front of him and placed it in front of Pei Jingxu.

"Can't you pick up the food yourself? Why are you waiting for others to serve you?"

The hand under the table exerted a little force, and Pei Jingxu's finger bones softened and he groaned!

Everyone looked at Pei Jingxu, only to see that the corners of her eyes were red and she had tears in her eyes. She looked like she had suffered a great injustice!

Rong Jianxue, who was standing aside, remained expressionless, lowered his eyes and ate without saying a word.

Rong Xuanzhou blushed upon seeing this and coughed softly, "Alright, I don't blame you, why are you crying?"

As he said this, his tone slowed down a bit.

Seeing this, Bai Shutong frowned slightly, and some emotions flashed in his eyes.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Don't get me wrong, Sister Pei. It's true that my hand was injured last night and I can't use it much, so I asked Brother Xuanzhou for help..."

This is a very ambiguous statement.

They were in the same room together last night, making love all night long. How could her hand be injured?

——Pei Jingxu hasn’t even said that he’s injured!

Her hands are really powerless!

Pei Jingxu couldn't concentrate enough to deal with the two people in front of him, so he said softly, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

When Bai Shutong heard this, his eyes opened slightly and the corners of his eyes turned a little red.

Upon seeing this, Rong Xuanzhou's face turned cold and his voice became deep: "Pei Jingxu, Shu Tong sincerely apologizes to you, why are you being so mean to her!?"

The beads slid down to her forearm, and along with the hand, it gradually climbed up as if with a sense of punishment.

"Brother Husband!"

Pei Jingxu stood up in a panic, tears in his eyes and his gaze was shaking.

Rong Jianxue glanced sideways slightly, his eyes looking at the woman calmly.

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly, her voice trembling and flustered: "I, I suddenly remembered that you were injured yesterday. I still have some medicine here. I'll go get it for you."

Having said that, not daring to stay any longer, Pei Jingxu lifted her skirt and turned to leave.

Watching Pei Jingxu leave, Bai Shutong's eyes were filled with resentment: "Brother Xuanzhou, Sister Pei...is she still blaming me?"

Rong Xuanzhou's eyes were cold and he slowly stood up: "I'll go talk to her."

After saying that, he walked away.
