Chapter 225 He is jealous

Pei Jingxu's back tensed and his sitting posture became stiff for a moment.

When the female relatives heard Jiang Hui's voice, they were all stunned.

Pei Jingxu coughed lightly and tightened his voice, "There are extra robes in the carriage. Guard Jiang can just go get them."

"It's better for you, Madam, to go with me to get it. I'm worried that we won't be able to find it."

Pei Jingxu closed his eyes and wanted to die.

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Pei Jingxu stood up, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

The Imperial Garden was very large. Pei Jingxu glanced at Jiang Hui and found that Jiang Hui was giving her a sympathetic look.

She swallowed and followed Jiang Hui out of everyone's sight.

After passing through an archway, Pei Jingxu looked at Jiang Hui's back and felt a little guilty.

——I don’t know if Rong Jianxue heard their conversation just now.

You can't hear it, right? It's quite far away.

Pei Jingxu thought so in his heart, with a bit of luck.

As night fell, Pei Jingxu opened her mouth and was about to say something when someone grabbed her wrist with force and pulled her into his arms!

Feeling the familiar scent of agarwood, Pei Jingxu did not struggle and allowed the man to push her against the palace wall.

It was quiet and deserted.

In the distance, the lights are coming on and the banquet is extremely lively.

If you hold your breath and concentrate, you can even hear the guests having a lively conversation.

——It’s not far from the palace banquet location.

Jiang Hui coughed lightly, said nothing, and didn't even dare to look back. He walked forward to keep watch for Rong Jianxue.

"Jun, Junmou..." Pei Jingxu called him in a trembling voice, his deer eyes filled with panic, "Guard Jiang said your robe was wet..."

"Yeah," Rong Jianxue responded, and moved her hand to touch his collar, "Help me wipe it."

Pei Jingxu: “…”

Frowning slightly, the beauty angrily said, "You lied to me!"

She was trapped in a corner by him, and he looked down at her: "Pei Jingxu, we haven't finished what we just said."

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly and whispered, "Rong Xuanzhou and I have known each other since childhood."

"Knowing each other since childhood and being childhood sweethearts are not the same thing," Rong Jianxue corrected, "That doesn't count as a friendship."

Pei Jingxu lowered his head, pinched his slender finger bones, and muttered softly, "Stingy guy."

Rong Jianxue held her waist and hips and lifted her up. She was half a head taller than him. "I heard that your husband has a hidden illness?"

Pei Jingxu: “…”

Sure enough, people cannot rely on luck.

Pei Jingxu hurriedly explained in a low voice, "It's just to deal with their nonsense..."

Rong Jianxue's expression was unclear, her dark eyes deep. "Your husband is truly useless, as he prevented my wife from conceiving."

“…”

Who is this bastard scolding?

The moonlight shone on his eyebrows and eyes, making him look like a water demon, almost breathtakingly handsome.

"Would you not consider a different one, ma'am..."

The man covered her waist and counted her knuckles inch by inch.

"Change to one that will allow you to get pregnant..."

Pei Jingxu moved her waist uncomfortably, and saw the man's handsome eyebrows slightly frowned, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"What childhood sweethearts, what youthful friendship," Rong Jianxue raised his head, bit her earring, and forced her to lower her head, "None of that counts."

The vines and branches concealed the figures of the two people.

Pei Jingxu heard the laughter and clinking of glasses from people not far away.

Bai Shutong seemed to have arrived at the banquet, with all the guests congratulating him loudly and cheering in unison.

She couldn't hear what the mountain was shouting.

The man forced her to accept his violent kiss.

Inch by inch, as if to merge her into his bones and blood.

Until she was almost suffocated by the kiss, the man parted her lips and bit her neck.

Pei Jingxu snorted lightly, leaving a conspicuous bite mark on a prominent part of his neck.

After wiping off the lip balm, Pei Jingxu glared at him in confusion and anger: "We'll be seen..."

Rong Jianxue said "hmm" without any emotion: "It's a punishment, accept it."

To punish her for her "youthful friendship" with Rong Xuanzhou.

Pei Jingxu curled her lips. She had no strength left and didn't want to pay much attention to him.

The man calmed down and helped her to straighten her dress.

Pei Jingxu raised her head and let him serve her without helping at all.

Rong Jianxue lowered her head and helped her adjust the belt around her waist. Her voice was cold and clear: "At the beginning, I was in the Burning Lamp Temple and didn't hear those news."

Pei Jingxu was stunned.

Only then did I realize that Rong Jianxue was talking about the Pei family being confiscated and exiled.

She didn't mean to blame Rong Jianxue, and it was not her fault at all.

At that time, not to mention the Rong family, even those noble families that had been on good terms with my father, no one dared to say a word for the Pei family.

——What’s more, it was written in black and white that it was my father who had the intention of rebellion first.

"That was a long time ago," Pei Jingxu said softly, without any emotion. "Rong Jianxue, you did nothing wrong."

There's no need to explain this to her.

He didn't know her at all at that time. Even though she had exchanged engagement letters with Rong Xuanzhou, he and she were just strangers.

——He is jealous.

Rong Jianxue knew clearly that he was jealous of Rong Xuanzhou.

Jealous of the more than ten years he had been with her.

Everyone knows that she and Rong Xuanzhou are childhood sweethearts, and they are the envied "young couple".

But when he met her, it was already late.

After straightening her dress, Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes to look at her and said, "Don't think too much about the marriage. Your Majesty won't issue an order."

Pei Jingxu nodded and said nothing.

She was too lazy to care about things that Rong Jianxue could handle herself.

…

He and Rong Jianxue returned to the banquet one after another.

Pei Jingxu returned to the women's seat and saw Bai Shutong sitting where she had sat before, chatting happily with the women.

"Sister Pei, you're here."

Seeing Pei Jingxu, Bai Shutong smiled at her with curved eyebrows.

Still sitting in that position, with no intention of getting up.

Pei Jingxu curled his lips and smiled: "Greetings to Princess Anyang."

"Come on, come on, Sister Pei, sit next to me. It's been a while since we last caught up!"

As he spoke, Bai Shutong enthusiastically patted the seat next to him and looked at her with a smile.

"Thank you, Princess."

Pei Jingxu followed suit and sat next to Bai Shutong.

The female relatives looked at the two people in front of them, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet for a moment.

They didn't notice it when Pei Jingxu was not around just now, but now that the two of them were standing together, they realized that their eyebrows and eyes were indeed very similar.

If you cover the mouths and noses of the two people, someone who is not familiar with them might really mistake them for each other!

Bai Shutong looked at Pei Jingxu with a smile, narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on the red mark on Pei Jingxu's neck.

A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, but she pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "Brother Xuanzhou has moved into a new house, and Shutong hasn't congratulated you two on your new home yet."

Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and sensed something was wrong.

It would be fine if others didn't know, but Bai Shutong couldn't have been unaware. She and Rong Xuanzhou had already divorced, and she had been living in Rong Jianxue's mansion during this period.

Hearing Bai Shutong say this, Pei Jingxu did not refute. He looked at her with a smile, waiting for her next words.

"Don't blame me, sister. These past few days... Shutong has been busy preparing furnishings for Master Young Master's new residence. I've been a little overwhelmed."
