Chapter 219 Why Not Defend

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Pei Jingxu lowered his eyelids, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Rong Jianxue frowned and put the pastry back on the porcelain plate.

The temple secretary still didn't think there was anything wrong.

He continued to smile as he looked at Pei Jingxu, as if trying to get closer. "I heard that General Xuanzhou had left the Rong Mansion and moved to a new house. Second Madam, you may not know that the mansion you and General Xuanzhou are currently living in was found by General Xuanzhou at his request."

The news of Pei Jingxu's divorce was not spread to anyone except the people in Rong Mansion.

Therefore, I am afraid that in the eyes of this temple secretary, as Rong Xuanzhou's "wife", she is now naturally living with Rong Xuanzhou in the new house.

Pei Jingxu didn't intend to confess anything. When she heard the temple secretary say this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Did he ask you to find it?"

"Yes," the Temple Secretary smiled even wider when Pei Jingxu answered, completely unaware of Rong Jianxue, who sat silently with her head bowed. "General Xuanzhou came to ask me if there was a mansion with good feng shui, preferably one with a prosperous family and harmonious marriages."

At this point, the Temple Secretary sighed solemnly and praised loudly, "General Xuanzhou has always disbelieved in these things about ghosts, gods, and feng shui, but now he wants to ask for good luck and cheer up his wife."

"I found several mansions for General Xuanzhou. General Xuanzhou heard that the previous owner of this mansion had a happy family with children and grandchildren, so he immediately signed the deed."

The Temple Secretary smiled and said, "There were rumors in the past that General Xuanzhou and the Second Lady were not getting along. In my opinion, they were all rumors!"

When Pei Jingxu heard what the temple secretary said, he curled his lips but said nothing.

The temple secretary stroked his beard and said, "If Second Madam doesn't mind, I'll come to visit you someday. I have many old stories to tell you about this mansion!"

Pei Jingxu smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Temple Secretary. I will definitely invite you to visit my house in the future."

Si Cheng also smiled.

Noticing Rong Jianxue, who was standing aside with her eyes lowered and silent, the Temple Secretary coughed lightly and waved his hand hurriedly towards the two of them: "Master Young Master, please enjoy your meal first. I will take my leave now."

Rong Jianxue had a cold expression, said nothing, and didn't even look up at him.

Si Cheng was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Pei Jingxu stood up and bowed slightly to the Temple Secretary. "Thank you for your hard work, Master Temple Secretary. I will leave after Master Young Master has finished his meal. I won't break the rules."

"Hey, what are you talking about, Second Lady?" Si Cheng waved his hands hastily. "Second Lady manages the Rong Mansion and cares about her husband. She is so virtuous and kind, how could she break the rules?"

After saying that, the temple secretary bowed to Rong Jianxue and turned to leave.

At the entrance, Pei Jingxu watched the temple secretary leave and closed the door.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but when the temple secretary walked a distance away, as if a blessing had come to his mind, he turned slightly and looked towards the ancestral hall.

The door slowly closed, and the gap became smaller and smaller.

The temple secretary must have seen it wrong.

——Through the crack in the door, he seemed to see the young master slowly stand up and push the second lady against the door.

The door is closed.

Si Cheng frowned, put this ridiculous idea behind him, turned and left.

…

In the clan house, in a small space.

Pei Jingxu was pressed against the door frame by the man.

A hand reached out from behind her and lightly grasped her neck, forcing her to look up.

He lifted her chin and forced her to accept his rough kiss.

The man was radiating coldness all over his body, and the biting chill seemed to pierce Pei Jingxu through.

He rubbed and bit her lips and tongue, watching every change in her expression with his eyes open.

He had just eaten pastries.

There was still a hint of sweet osmanthus fragrance in her mouth, which was tinged with sweetness and coldness when it passed into her mouth.

Pei Jingxu was pressed against the door frame.

Pei Jingxu's breath was taken away, and tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his eyes turned red: "Sir... Ah Xu knows his mistake..."

Rong Jianxue said hoarsely: "What's wrong?"

Pei Jingxu: “…”

"Ah Xu shouldn't have come to the Dali Temple to deliver food to the master, attracting criticism from others..."

Rong Jianxue sneered.

Still don't know where the mistake is.

The dilapidated door creaked.

If someone passed by the door at this moment, they could even see the vague outlines of two people on the window paper.

He grabbed her finger bones and inserted his fingertips into her fingers without saying a word, not allowing her to escape at all.

Rong Jianxue looked down at her, and lifted her chin with his large, cold hand, forcing her to look up at him behind her.

"Rong, Rong Jianxue..."

He remained unmoved.

"Junmou! Junmou!" She changed her address.

Still no response.

"Husband, husband..." Pei Jingxu closed her eyes slightly and begged him softly, "Husband, please don't be angry with Ah Xu, okay..."

The finger bones on her jaw slowly moved upwards, prying open her teeth.

His index and middle fingers rested on her upper and lower teeth respectively, holding the tip of her tongue.

He just interrupted those sweet but unpleasant words.

He saw her red eyes and the tears in the corners of her eyes.

Pei Jingxu was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you argue?"

The man asked her in a low, hoarse voice, biting her shoulder.

Pei Jingxu almost laughed out loud out of anger.

——Why is this person the first to complain?

"Others don't know about Ah Xu's divorce yet, so it's not easy for me to say anything."

"Young couple, living in harmony?" He spoke to her carefully, emphasizing each word.

Pei Jingxu lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"The previous owner of his mansion had many wives and concubines, and his wife left him," Rong Jianxue said in a deep voice. "Zhang Fu deceived him."

Pei Jingxu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "How does the Lord know this?"

Rong Jianxue raised her chin slightly, her eyebrows raised: "Because of that house, I had considered it before."

"Then why didn't you choose in the end?"

"Bad feng shui," Rong Jianxue bit her neck again, "You'll be separated from your wife and children and live a lonely life."

"Sir, do you still believe this?"

Rong Jianxue supported her waist and said, "It won't hurt."

Before Pei Jingxu could say anything else, the voice of the temple secretary Zhang Fu came from outside the door again.

"Master Young Master, Madam Pei, I forgot something and would like to discuss it with you."
