Chapter 48 Sent to a brothel!

Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness flashed in Rong's eyes.

Her expression changed, and she walked into the house in a kind tone: "It's been a long time since our family got together."

Seeing Rong coming, Pei Jingxu and Rong Jianxue stood up and bowed to her.

Rong waved her hand, asking them to sit down, and then instructed the maid, "Come here, bring the master's treasured Qionglou Imperial Wine!"

The old woman responded and soon came in front of everyone with a wine jug.

At the same time, Rong Baimao also came to the front hall.

After Pei Jingxu paid his respects, the maid came forward and poured wine for the four of them.

Seeing that Rong and Rong Baimao had both drunk the wine, Pei Jingxu no longer had any guard against it and raised his glass with everyone else and drank the wine.

The family dinner went smoothly. Rong Baimao had been away from Beijing for more than a month and chatted with Rong Jianxue about trivial matters in the court.

Hearing that Crown Prince Chen Qianfan was punished by the government, Rong Baimao narrowed his eyes and looked unhappy.

After the dinner, Rong said she was sleepy and left the table first.

Soon, the maid in the bedroom came to Pei Jingxu and said respectfully, "Second Madam, the old lady said she has a headache and wants you to go to the bedroom and massage her."

Rong has always had a headache when exposed to the wind. Pei Jingxu had always been busy running around for her. He learned a lot of tricks to please Rong and help her massage her head.

Pei Jingxu stood up: "Got it, I'll be right there."

As she spoke, she followed the old woman and walked towards Rong's bedroom.

After the two women left, Rong Baimao's voice turned completely cold: "The Crown Prince is not doing a good job in managing the refugees. I think the emperor is already dissatisfied with him."

Rong Jianxue said calmly, "Your Majesty wants to give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince another seven days to see if he can solve the problem of feeding the refugees."

"What if it can't be solved?" Rong Baimao said coldly.

Rong Jianxue's voice was cold and calm, "Your Majesty said that our dynasty also has precedents of deposing the eldest son and enthroning the most capable."

Rong Baimao's eyelids jumped: Your Majesty, are you planning to appoint a new crown prince?

Thinking of this, Rong Baimao narrowed his eyes, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Rong Jianxue had no intention of investigating Rong Baimao's expression. He glanced calmly in the direction Pei Jingxu had left. He stood up and bowed to Rong Baimao, "Since there's nothing else, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Rong Jianxue turned and left.

--

On the other side, Pei Jingxu followed the maid in front of him and came to Rong's bedroom.

"Second Madam, please wait here for a moment. The old lady will be here soon."

The old woman left these words, left Pei Jingxu in the bedroom, closed the door and went out.

Pei Jingxu frowned, realizing something was wrong.

There was incense lit in the bedroom, and the fragrance was different from the usual fragrance in Rong's bedroom.

She pursed her lips slightly, her vision went dark, and she subconsciously held onto the table beside her!

There is something wrong with the incense in the bedroom!

The surging sleepiness enveloped her whole body. Pei Jingxu stumbled to the entrance and wanted to push the door open to go out!

But after trying several times, she finally found out that the door was locked!

Wrapped in layer upon layer of sleepiness, Pei Jingxu felt his eyelids were too heavy to lift, and his legs collapsed weakly to the ground.

It was her negligence!

She always thought that if there really was a problem, it might be the wine prepared by Rong!

But she never expected that Rong's approach would be even more direct than she thought!

She acted so ruthlessly that she absolutely never thought of giving her a chance to turn things around!

Pei Jingxu opened his mouth and wanted to shout something.

But after trying several times, no sound came out.

She heard footsteps, which seemed to stop just outside the door.

"Young Master, why are you here?"

The old woman who had just brought her here appeared in time and saluted the visitor.

Rong Jianxue looked at the tightly closed door and said in a slightly cold tone, "Nothing, I just remembered that I borrowed a few books from Pei a few days ago. I remembered them today and decided to return them."

"Young Master, you are here to look for the Second Lady," the old woman said with a smile, "Young Master, you are late. The old lady just had the Second Lady rub her head and has already gone to bed. The Second Lady should have returned to the West Courtyard."

Separated by a door, Pei Jingxu opened his mouth, but no sound came out!

She bit her lip slightly and reached out to make some noise at the door.

But before her hand touched the door frame, the world spun around and Pei Jingxu passed out!

Outside the door, Rong Jianxue frowned slightly when she heard this: "Going back?"

The old woman still smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Rong Jianxue glanced at the door again and nodded slightly: "Then I won't disturb Mother's rest."

After saying that, the man walked away.

After Rong Jianxue walked away, the old woman's eyes turned cold. She pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom, where she saw Pei Jingxu who had fainted on the ground.

After she bent down to take a look, she waved towards the distance, and two servants walked in one after another.

"Quick, take him out through the back door and don't let anyone see him. Do you hear me?"

"I understand!"

…

When Pei Jingxu woke up in a daze, he felt as if he was in a bumpy carriage.

She half-closed her eyes and heard the movements of the two servants in the carriage.

"Are we really going to send the Second Lady to a brothel?"

"Of course, this is the old lady's order!"

Pei Jingxu's eyelids twitched and his face turned slightly pale.

Something was gagged in her mouth, so she couldn't make any sound. Her hands and feet were tied up, so she didn't dare to move.

"Why does the old lady treat Pei like this?"

"Why else? I heard from that old woman that she'll wait until her chastity is ruined in the brothel, and then she'll bring people to catch her in adultery..."

Pei Jingxu didn't hear the rest of the words clearly, but he understood what Rong meant.

——She wanted to ruin her reputation, drive her out of the Rong Mansion at any cost, and embezzle her dowry!

Her face darkened slightly and she forced herself to calm down.

Pei Jingxu's hands and feet were numb from being tied up with ropes, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face was cold.

Find a way, she must find a way!

——She absolutely cannot fulfill Rong’s wish!

"Which brothel should we send her to?"

"Where else could it be? The largest boat in the capital—Baiyujing!"

Baiyujing?

When Pei Jingxu heard this name, an idea suddenly struck him, and he finally grasped something!

She rolled her eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in them.

The carriage arrived at the destination quickly.

Pei Jingxu must have gone through the back door and was carried into the boat.

She smelled a strange floral fragrance, and then everything went black before her eyes, and she was thrown into a cramped little house!

"Madam, please check the goods."

A plump woman came forward, holding a pipe. She touched the pipe to Pei Jingxu's delicate face and said with a sigh, "Wow, this little face is so pretty! Can you really guarantee that there won't be any trouble?"

"Don't worry, boss lady. Everyone is here. As long as the men are there, there won't be any trouble." The servant smiled obscenely.

The proprietress didn't say anything after hearing this. She chuckled and said, "That's right. I'll find some men and train her. Maybe she can become the top girl on our boat!"
