Chapter 208 Sister...

"girl!?"

Hongyao, who was standing by, was startled and quickly turned to look at Pei Jingxu.

The vendor was also frightened and stared at her with wide eyes.

Pei Jingxu's pupils trembled and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Hongyao took out a purse from her sleeve and handed the silver to the vendor, then turned to Pei Jingxu.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Hongyao asked in a low voice.

The hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly, Pei Jingxu turned his head slowly and looked at Hongyao, his eyeballs trembling and his eyes full of shock.

Not clothes, not clothes...

When she was young, her father gave her some money and let her run a rouge shop on her own, saying that it was to train her business acumen.

Pei Jingxu didn't know everything at the beginning. In the beginning, she lost a lot of money because she didn't understand the market.

But every once in a while, a messenger named "Fei Yi" would come to the rouge shop to pick out some things, just enough to help her get through the difficult times.

Over time, Pei Jingxu began to pay attention to this person.

Later, the rouge shop began to make a profit, but Pei Jingxu found a lot of rouge and powder she had sold in her brother's room.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Pei Huaifeng, won't you explain?"

The young boy Pei Huaifeng is two years younger than Pei Jingxu, but he has already surpassed her in height.

Pei Huaifeng, who was discovered, laughed dryly and scratched the back of his head: "Sister, if I say I like to use it, do you believe it?"

——Pei Huaifeng used his own small treasury to help her get through those days when she was losing money.

"Fei Yi" is his pseudonym.

Pei Jingxu paused slightly, turned around slowly, and blinked stiffly as if he was hallucinating.

"Red medicine."

"girl?"

"Go to Nanfeng Pavilion."

…

It was a sunny day.

Most of the people in Nanfeng Pavilion are handsome men who welcome female guests, and not many come out to receive guests during the day.

As they approached the pavilion, Hongyao cautiously grabbed Pei Jingxu's sleeve and whispered, "Miss, how could you come to a place like this?"

"If the eldest master knew about this..."

Pei Jingxu wore a veil on her head, and the white gauze concealed the woman's figure and appearance. The wind lifted the gauze on both sides, revealing her solemn face.

"Waiting outside."

After saying that, Pei Jingxu covered the veil on both sides and walked towards Nanfeng Pavilion.

As soon as I arrived outside the museum, two handsome men came to greet me: "Miss, I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

As he spoke, the man put his arm around her shoulders.

Pei Jingxu took a step back and pretended to be calm: "I want to see Feiyi."

Hearing this name, the smiles on the two men's faces disappeared and they rolled their eyes: "Another one looking for Feiyi."

"I don't know what's so good about him."

"That's right, he's average looking, and his personality isn't great. He just knows how to make some extra cash. How did he attract so many women like you?"

"Miss, Feiyi is busy...serving other female guests, why don't you come and see us~"

The young waiters in Nanfeng Pavilion were all good-looking, and there were not many female guests coming during the day. At one time, many young waiters came forward and clamored to "serve" her.

Where had Pei Jingxu ever seen such a scene?

If she hadn't heard the name "Fei Yi" today, she would never have come to such a place in her life!

But now that she's here, she has to meet the person!

Pei Jingxu took a few steps back and distanced himself from the crowd.

He casually took out a few gold leaves from his sleeve, weighed them in his hand, and the group of men were all stunned.

"I said, I want to see Feiyi."

Finally, someone smart enough came to their senses and hurried forward a few steps: "Miss, follow me, Feiyi is upstairs!"

Pei Jingxu looked him up and down, then casually gave him two gold leaves: "Lead the way."

"Young lady, please."

Lifting her skirt, she went up to the second floor. The man brought her to a room in the far corner and stopped. He knocked on the door and said, "Fei Yi, someone's looking for you."

An indifferent male voice came from the room: "We've seen it all today, come again another day."

With just one sound, Pei Jingxu's breathing paused, and he easily recognized the owner of the voice.

The whole person was like an ice sculpture, frozen in place.

The man who brought her up shrugged and looked at Pei Jingxu: "Miss, you heard it too. If you want to see Master Feiyi, you have to queue up."

After saying that, the man prepared to take Pei Jingxu away.

"Pei... Huaifeng?"

She trembled as she called out the name that weighed on her heart, with a hint of tears in her tone.

Before the man next to him could react, the door suddenly opened and a tall man appeared in front of Pei Jingxu.

She raised her eyes and looked towards the man.

Just one glance, and Pei Jingxu's vision was covered with tears. His eyes turned red and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

At the entrance, a man in a moon-white robe looked down at her with wide eyes in surprise and confusion.

He lifted a corner of the curtain, and the moment he saw the woman's face clearly, the man's fingertips paused slightly, as if he was under a spell and was nailed to the spot.

His pupils contracted violently, and he opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to hear his own voice.

"Ah...sister?"

Unable to hold back any longer, Pei Jingxu stepped forward and hugged the man's waist, crying loudly: "You are not dead... Pei Huaifeng, you are not dead..."

This is not the place to talk.

Pei Huaifeng glanced at the dumbfounded guide, then took Pei Jingxu into the room and closed the door.

The door is closed, creating a secret world.

Pei Huaifeng was now more than a head taller than Pei Jingxu. He hugged Pei Jingxu back, his eyes reddened: "Sister, it really is you..."

"I thought I would never see you again in this life..."

After taking off her veil, Pei Jingxu couldn't stop crying. She held Pei Huaifeng's hand tightly, fearing that the person in front of her would be like a dream bubble that would shatter at the slightest touch.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Huaifeng poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit down. Only then did Pei Jingxu feel a little more real.

Still holding onto Pei Huaifeng's hand, Pei Jingxu pursed her lips, her eyelashes wet, but she looked at him seriously: "Xiaofeng, what exactly happened back then? Weren't you and father beheaded? Where is father?"

Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu, his eyes filled with deep sorrow. "When the officers and soldiers found evidence of treason in the Pei Mansion, not only me, but even Dad himself was stunned."

"He told me that he clearly had no recollection of ever having any thoughts of treason, but those letters to and from the enemy were indeed written by him."

Frowning, Pei Huaifeng made an analogy: "It's like... being controlled. By the time I reacted, there was no way to refute it."

At this point, Pei Huaifeng's eyes dimmed. "When the officers and soldiers entered the Pei Mansion to search and confiscate the property, I had a quarrel with my father and was not at the Pei Mansion. I heard the news from the servants who had escaped, so I headed south to avoid being hunted down."

"I lived in the open air and hid outside for more than two years before the pursuit gradually subsided."

"Until a while ago, I returned to the capital with a foreign merchant caravan, changed my name, and stayed in Nanfeng Pavilion."

Pei Jingxu's throat tightened and he looked at Pei Huaifeng in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Just kept crying.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Huaifeng forced a smile towards Pei Jingxu: "Sister, how have you been these years?"
