Chapter 84 He discovered it!

Warm yellow candlelight.

Because I needed to rest, the light in the bedroom was dimmed with a trimmed candle.

Rong Jianxue frowned slightly, and her dark eyes fixed on the object.

Soft, delicate and smooth.

When his fingertips touched the object, he paused for a moment, and finally fell down hesitantly.

The next second, like a soft, wet snake, Rong Jianxue sat up from the bed almost instantly and quickly retreated to the corner of the bed!

The small piece of clothing just lay there quietly. A flash of panic appeared in Rong Jianxue's eyes, and she twisted it slightly with her fingertips.

He smelled the cool fragrance coming from his fingertips.

It's turquoise and very eye-catching.

The candlelight in the room flickered a few more times.

Rong Jianxue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

for a long time.

He closed his eyes slightly and let out a long breath.

When he opened his eyes again, he picked up the small piece of clothing under the pillow and stroked the soft and smooth fabric with his fingertips.

It is made of mulberry silk, with two red and green mandarin ducks embroidered on it. The stitches are fine and continuous, and the two mandarin ducks are lifelike. In the corner of the small garment, the word "Xu" is embroidered with needle and thread.

——She sewed it herself.

The finger bones turned slightly white. After a long time, Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes and tightened her fingers that were holding the bellyband.

The fragrance of flowers came, as if it wanted to engulf him and drag him into hell.

Gods and Buddhas do not understand, they only say mercy.

Pei Jingxu couldn't sleep because of the pain.

What Rong did today was definitely beyond her expectations.

There are too many wounds and bruises on his body, especially the slap mark on his face, which is so ugly.

Hongyao applied ointment on Pei Jingxu's back.

At this time, Pei Jingxu was lying on the bed, his upper body naked, with large bruises on his smooth white back.

Hongyao was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night and stayed with her in the bedroom.

Her eyes were red, and she had been crying since she returned to the West Courtyard: "Miss, are you in a lot of pain? Let me help you apply some more ointment?"

Pei Jingxu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Even if you apply it as thick as a city wall, it won't heal immediately."

Seeing Hongyao crying, Pei Jingxu sighed: "It's okay, I didn't sign the contract today, which is already a good result."

If Rong really forced her to sign the red contract today, Pei Jingxu would find a way to make this matter known to the whole city and sue the Dali Temple.

But that would be too troublesome and time-consuming, so Rong Jianxue's support today really saved her a lot of trouble.

"Miss, when I was making medicine for you today, I heard the old lady cursing in the room."

Pei Jingxu chuckled, "She didn't get her dowry, and Rong Jianxue confined her, so naturally she was furious."

After a pause, Pei Jingxu asked curiously, "Didn't Rong Baimao go to Rong Jianxue to argue?"

Hongyao shook her head: "Guard Jiang said that the eldest master will not see anyone in the mansion except you now."

"The master went there several times, but was stopped by Jiang Hui at the gate of the East Courtyard."

Pei Jingxu curled his lips: "Rong Baimao doesn't dare to go against Rong Jianxue now."

"Ah? Why do you say that, girl?"

"Look, everyone in the capital is saying that Rong Jianxue has offended the emperor and is facing the possibility of exterminating his entire family. Yet, ten days have passed, and not only has the emperor not punished him, he has even been allowed to return to court and participate in government affairs."

This means that all the dissidents in the court have been cleared out, and Rong Jianxue has been reinstated to his original position, just like before.

——Even much higher than the previous status.

As a beloved minister and favorite of the emperor, Rong Baimao naturally did not dare to go against Rong Jianxue.

Therefore, Rong Jianxue confined Rong's feet. Although Rong Baimao was furious and argued with him, he did not dare to take the initiative to release Rong.

Pei Jingxu sighed again and thought that it was a wise decision to cling to Rong Jianxue!

The smile on the corner of his mouth pulled the scar on his face. Pei Jingxu frowned slightly and let out a hiss.

Hongyao naturally didn't understand all this. She just looked at Pei Jingxu with pity, tears in her eyes, and murmured, "Miss, you've suffered too much..."

"Back in the day, in the Pei family, the girl lived a carefree and comfortable life. She never had to think about these things."

"Now that the Pei family is in trouble, the master and the young master..." Hongyao sobbed, "And you have to worry so much about it, young lady. This servant is really distressed."

Pei Jingxu curled his lips when he heard this: "Hongyao, I never felt that my life was that hard."

"Compared to my father and brother, I am extremely lucky to be alive."

Pei Jingxu's eyes were clear and his tone was serious: "I want to survive, even if it means sacrificing everything for it."

--

Main courtyard.

"Get out! Get out!"

In the bedroom, Rong swept all the teacups and food to the ground and yelled at the unfamiliar servants!

These servants were new, personally selected by Rong Jianxue to "serve" the Rong family.

He said he was serving her, but that was only because he had sent away all the maids around her. Now these servants were all cautious and would not easily talk about anything with Rong!

After their food plates were swept away, the servants did not say a word. They quickly and silently cleaned up the mess and bowed before leaving.

"Rong Jianxue! Let Rong Jianxue come to see me! Let Rong Jianxue come to see me, her biological mother!"

In the huge bedroom, only Rong's roar could be heard, and no one responded to her outside the door.

Rong's hair was disheveled, his face was pale and ugly, and his eyes were full of coldness and hatred!

She never expected that Rong Jianxue, as her son, would actually dare to go against her and even side with the Pei family to punish her! ?

For a moment, Rong frowned slightly as if he had thought of something.

Could it be that... Rong Jianxue really...

No, impossible!

Rong frowned, his face looking gloomy and ugly.

She understood Rong Jianxue. He never cared about matters between men and women. It was because she had forced Rong Jianxue to have a childhood marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Rong Jianxue was unwilling, that he went to worship Master Miaofan of the Randeng Temple and became a lay disciple.

If it weren't for Master Rong Baimao who threatened to sacrifice his life to allow Jianxue to enter the officialdom, he would never have left the Randeng Temple and gone down the mountain in this life.

Rong still didn't believe it.

I don't believe that a man like this would have any feelings for Pei.

Thinking of this, Rong's eyes darkened.

No, she still had to find an opportunity to test Rong Jianxue.

If he really had this idea, she would never allow Pei to ruin the reputation of the Rong family!

--

The next day.

Pei Jingxu lay on the bed, too lazy to move.

Anyway, her legs were bruised, her back was black and blue, and even one of her hands was bandaged so she couldn't move it, so she might as well stay in bed and recuperate.

Hongyao boiled the medicine and brought it to Pei Jingxu: "Miss, drink the medicine first."

Pei Jingxu looked at the black medicine soup, which was as black as mud, frowned, and said with disgust: "I don't want to drink it, it's too bitter."

Hongyao smiled helplessly: "Miss, the doctor said that only by drinking the medicine can you recover quickly."

Pei Jingxu said reluctantly, "I can get better even without drinking. It's okay if I recover a little slower."

Hongyao opened her mouth and was about to say something.

Then there was a knock on the door: "Second Madam? My young master is here to see you."
