Chapter 83 Can I give you a new one?

Pei Jingxu, holding the jade pendant, had clear and innocent eyes, a pair of innocent pupils like a young deer lost in the deep forest.

Rong Jianxue pinched the jade pendant in her mouth and motioned her to look up.

His eyes wandered from her face to her rosy lips and the emerald jade pendant.

His jade pendant is of very good quality.

—At least, it’s much better than her bracelet.

Narrowing his eyes, he said solemnly, "The bracelet is old. How about I give you a new one as compensation?"

Bracelet?

Pei Jingxu subconsciously looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist that Rong Xuanzhou had given her before he went on the expedition.

He is of low quality and really not worthy of her.

But it is indeed strong evidence that she is "loyal".

So even though the bracelet was broken, Pei Jingxu still wore it on his hand.

Hearing Rong Jianxue say this, Pei Jingxu suppressed the malice in his eyes and hurriedly let go of the jade pendant in his mouth.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you, sir, but it's not necessary. I like this bracelet very much..."

Holding a corner of the jade pendant in his hand, Rong Jianxue slowly withdrew his hand and looked at Pei Jingxu with some ambiguous emotions in his eyes.

Putting the jade pendant back into her sleeve, Rong Jianxue gently stroked the warm jade: "The jade on the bracelet is mixed in color. This one Xuanzhou gave you is not very thoughtful."

"Sir, this was made for me by Erlang himself. Please don't say such things!"

When Rong Xuanzhou was mentioned, the woman's face finally showed some color and she argued with him.

With his brows slightly lowered, Rong Jianxue turned away, not wanting to argue with her.

"Sir, the doctor is here!"

Outside the bedroom, Jiang Hui arrived just in time, his voice filled with anxiety.

"Yes," Rong Jianxue responded, "Come in."

"yes."

Jiang Hui was smart enough to know that Pei Jingxu was injured, so he asked a woman to be the doctor.

The female doctor came in with a medicine box and began to examine Pei Jingxu.

There were bruises and scars all over her body, and her knee was also bruised. Rong's slap was quite powerful, and her face was red and swollen.

"Girl, you should have other wounds on your body. I need to check you out."

As she spoke, the female doctor turned to look at Rong Jianxue: "You two, please step aside."

Rong Jianxue nodded and walked out of the bedroom with Jiang Hui.

With the help of the female doctor, Pei Jingxu took off all his clothes and bellyband and examined them.

Seeing the bruises all over Pei Jingxu's body, the female doctor gasped: "Miss, how did you get this? How did you get so many injuries?"

Pei Jingxu turned his back to the doctor, a smile on his face. "It's okay, doctor. Will it leave a scar?"

She was afraid of the pain, but she was more worried about leaving scars and looking ugly.

The female doctor sighed and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine to treat bruises and swellings for you. If you apply it regularly, there won't be any scars."

As a woman herself, she naturally understood that women don't like to be left with scars.

"Thank you, doctor."

After the examination, the female doctor wanted to help her put on her clothes.

Pei Jingxu lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the exquisite and small turquoise bellyband beside her hand.

Ah, she suddenly had a "good idea".

"Thank you, Doctor, but I'd like to dress myself, is that okay? I'm not used to having others change me."

Pei Jingxu found an excuse to send the female doctor away.

The doctor didn't say much. He walked aside and carefully prescribed medicine for Pei Jingxu.

Pei Jingxu curled her lips slightly and put on her clothes.

——But not wearing that bellyband.

After tidying up, the female doctor wrote the prescription and let Rong Jianxue in again.

"Sir, just follow this prescription to get the medicine. Also, apply the ointment carefully every day. The girl's back looks like someone stepped on it, and it's covered in bruises. If she can't reach it herself, as her husband, you must apply it evenly for her. Don't be lazy."

The female doctor thought they were a couple, so she spoke to them without being polite.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu hurriedly spoke out to explain: "The doctor misunderstood, we are not—"

"I've made a note of that," Rong Jianxue said calmly, taking the prescription and plaster. "Thank you, doctor."

After giving the instructions, the female doctor prepared to leave.

Rong Jianxue escorted her out of the bedroom.

"Doctor, will she have scars?"

He opened his mouth and asked the doctor.

The female doctor was stunned for a moment, her expression somewhat grim. "Sir, your wife has been seriously injured, and you're still concerned about whether she'll have scars? Why, if she does have scars, you won't like it?"

Rong Jianxue was not angry when she heard the female doctor's question.

He spoke slowly, "She loves beauty and will be unhappy if she has scars."

The female doctor was stunned for a moment, and all the words she wanted to say to teach Rong Jianxue a lesson were stuck in her throat.

Scratching her head awkwardly, the female doctor chuckled dryly, "Don't worry, sir. As long as you apply the ointment every day, there won't be any scars."

Rong Jianxue nodded: "Thank you, doctor."

After sending the doctor away, Rong Jianxue returned to her bedroom.

At this time, Hongyao, who had received the news, finally rushed over: "Girl! Where are you? Are you okay?"

Jiang Hui led Hongyao to meet Pei Jingxu in the bedroom.

"Girl, why are you injured so much?" Hongyao cried while checking.

Pei Jingxu shook her head and turned to look at Rong Jianxue: "Brother, I'm much better now. I won't disturb you anymore and will go back first."

Rong Jianxue didn't say anything.

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly, then as if remembering something, she spoke softly, "As for today's matter, I know that you are just being kind to me and have no selfish motives. So, if my mother-in-law asks about it, you can just push me out."

Rong Jianxue was still playing with the jade pendant in her hand, her emotions unclear.

Pei Jingxu did not linger any longer. He bowed to the man and then, supported by Hongyao, left the bedroom and walked out of the east courtyard.

Seeing the master and servant leave, Jiang Hui whispered, "Master, those women chopped off one of their hands and pulled out their tongues. Do you want to throw them out now?"

As he spoke, Jiang Hui respectfully handed over the Buddhist beads.

Rong Jianxue didn't answer.

The words the female doctor had just said echoed in his ears.

[The girl's back felt like someone had stepped on it.]

Squinted his eyes.

Rong Jianxue said hoarsely, "Break one of their legs, seriously."

His tone was calm and indifferent, without any ripples.

Jiang Hui's back was covered with bumps. He looked at Rong Jianxue in astonishment, "Sir, without their hands and feet, it will be difficult for them to survive in the future."

Rong Jianxue's tone remained unchanged: "It has nothing to do with me."

After a pause, the man's voice was calm and indifferent: "When you drag them out of the house, take them past mother's bedroom and let her hear the sound."

Jiang Hui swallowed and lowered his head: "Yes."

The young master's methods of torturing people are actually more cruel than those of the interrogators in the Dali Temple.

--

That night.

Rong Jianxue was lying on the bed, still playing with the jade pendant that she had once held in her mouth.

The bedroom was filled with the cool scent of agarwood, but for some reason, Rong Jianxue could always smell the scent of jasmine when she lay on the couch.

Moved slightly.

The candlelight in the room flickered.

Rong Jianxue saw a corner of the pillow at a glance.

Something turquoise.
