Chapter 92 As long as it's him, you'll do anything?

Pei Jingxu suppressed his emotions and looked at me intently, "What did you call me for, eunuch?"

The servant still bowed respectfully and said, "I don't know about this. Second Madam, please go to the main hall and ask the master yourself."

Pei Jingxu smiled and dismissed the servants. She turned to Hongyao and whispered, "If I don't come back within an incense stick of time, go to the East Courtyard to find Rong Jianxue."

Rong Baimao had never looked for her before, and now he asked her to go to the main hall to meet him so solemnly. She felt a little uneasy.

Hongyao understood and nodded: "I understand."

After finishing the instructions, Pei Jingxu lifted her skirt and walked towards the main hall.

As I walked into the main hall, I saw Rong Boyao wearing a black robe, sitting upright and solemnly in the main seat. From a distance, he looked like a serious sculpture.

Taking a few steps forward, Pei Jingxu bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, eunuch."

"Um."

Rong Baimao responded calmly, his face showing no emotion: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

"Yes." Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes slightly and suppressed the emotions in his eyes.

Sitting upright on the side, Rong Baimao glanced at Pei Jingxu and said coldly, "Ms. Pei, how long have you been in the Rong family?"

Pei Jingxu said softly, "My dear father-in-law, it's been almost two years."

"Two years. How will our Rong family treat you during these two years?"

Pei Jingxu's eyes flashed with contempt, but his face remained respectful: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law treat me very well."

Rong Baimao nodded, still speaking in a deep voice, "When your Pei family suffered a disaster, it was our Rong family who, despite past grudges, married you into our family. This is why you have this path to survival. You and Xuanzhou are in love, and your mother-in-law wrote the divorce letter for your future happiness."

"So, in the past two years, your mother-in-law and I have been very dedicated to you. What do you think?"

Pei Jingxu curled her lips slightly: "Yes, I am grateful for the kindness of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Rong Baimao narrowed his eyes and said, "In another year, when your mourning period is over, do you have any intention of leaving home and marrying someone else?"

Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground in panic, tears welling up in her eyes: "Eunuch, are you trying to get rid of me?"

"I received the divorce letter and knew I shouldn't stay in the Rong family. But Erlang asked me to take care of the elders and serve my parents-in-law before he left. Other than that, I have no other requests."

She spoke with conviction, tears rolling down her face, and her frail and thin body was limp and powerless.

Rong Baimao frowned: "Xuan Zhou died in battle, and you are still young. Do you really want to be a widow for the rest of your life because of him?"

"As long as you want, the divorce papers are in your hands. We won't blame you if you leave us at any time."

Pei Jingxu bit her lip lightly: "I have never thought of leaving the Rong family."

Rong Baimao rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you truly devoted to Xuan Zhou and have no second thoughts?"

"Yes, Ah Xu has admired Erlang since childhood. Even if Erlang died on the battlefield, even if my mother-in-law gave me a letter of divorce, I am willing to serve you two elders."

for a long time.

On the main seat, Rong Baimao finally smiled and said, "It's just a casual chat. You don't have to be so nervous."

"Get up quickly."

Pei Jingxu had no idea what Rong Baimao was up to.

She responded softly, then slowly stood up from the ground and sat down again.

"I called you here today to discuss a prayer and peace ceremony for the West Courtyard in a few days."

"Peaceful Ceremony?" Pei Jingxu was a little confused.

"Yes, I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. Yesterday, I went to consult a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest said that Xuanzhou's soul was restless and stayed in the West Courtyard. He wanted to pray for blessings so that Xuanzhou could be reincarnated peacefully."

Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

Rong Baimao and the Rong family clearly knew that Rong Xuanzhou had faked his death, and what they told her now was clearly an excuse.

But...what does he want to do?

"If it can let Erlang rest in peace, I naturally have no objection." Pei Jingxu said softly.

Rong Baimao nodded and said, "I know you're sensible, but the Taoist priest said that women can't live in the courtyard for a few days before the peace ceremony. It's too yin, so I'm afraid I'll have to let you stay in the side room for a few days."

Pei Jingxu lowered her eyebrows and said: "These are all trivial matters, I will obey you."

Rong Baimao's brows finally relaxed a little, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Then a cold voice came from outside the door: "Greetings, father."

It’s Rong Jianxue.

Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes: It’s not even an incense stick of time yet.

When Rong Jianxue appeared, the emotions in Rong Baimao's eyes deepened.

He went to the East Court to see him several times, but was rejected by Jiang Hui.

Now, I just chatted with Pei for a few more words...

This Pei family really cannot be kept.

He nodded, his expression unremarkable: "Why are you here?"

Rong Jianxue walked to the center of the main hall and first glanced at Pei Jingxu, who was sitting to the side, to confirm that she was okay. Then he spoke calmly, "I heard that my father and the Pei family were discussing matters in the main hall, so I came to see."

Rong Baimao curled his lips and said, "Nothing serious, just talking about asking for a prayer for Xuan Zhou."

"Holding a ceremony?" Rong Jianxue's voice was cold, elegant and clear.

"Well, I've already discussed it with the Pei family. You don't have to worry about it." After saying that, Rong Baimao looked at Rong Jianxue, "Jianxue, your mother has admitted her mistakes and has been under house arrest for more than ten days. When will she be released?"

Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged: "Father, if you do something wrong, you must pay the price. This is the Rong family motto, you know it well."

"But she is your mother after all!"

"If so much of the injustice in the world is tied to emotion, what's the point of having laws?"

"Rong Jianxue——"

"If father has finished speaking, Jianxue will take his leave."

After saying that, Rong Jianxue glanced at Pei Jingxu and turned to leave.

"Rong Jianxue, you, you——"

After saying "you" for a long time, Rong Baimao still couldn't explain what he meant. His face turned pale and looked very ugly.

Pei Jingxu saw this and didn't linger any longer. She bowed slightly and said, "Eunuch, please calm down. Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"You will move to the side room tonight. Five days later, I will invite a Taoist priest to pray for peace. You can only go back after the ceremony is over. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Ah Xu will remember this."

After saying that, Pei Jingxu lowered his head and left.

Rong Baimao looked at Pei Jingxu's leaving back, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

--

"Sir, wait for me!"

Rong Jianxue took big steps, and Pei Jingxu's dress was tugging at her, so she couldn't catch up with her.

Hearing her voice, the man in front did not stop and continued walking in front with a square step.

Rong Jianxue stopped walking until she reached the gate of the mansion.

Pei Jingxu finally caught up.

Her face flushed slightly, and she gasped for breath: "Why didn't you wait for Ah Xu?"

Rong Jianxue raised her chin and lowered her gaze. "What kind of ceremony are you offering for Xuan Zhou?"

"Ah," Pei Jingxu pretended to understand and explained seriously, "My father-in-law said that my husband's soul cannot rest in peace, and he wants the Taoist priest to hold a peace ceremony in the west courtyard."

"So you left the west courtyard with peace of mind and moved into the side room?"

Pei Jingxu's eyes were clear: "My father-in-law said that women have a strong yin energy and it is not suitable for them to live in the west courtyard these days."

Above his head, the man chuckled softly, his tone cold and indifferent: "Are you willing to do anything as long as it's in the name of Xuanzhou?"

Pei Jingxu was bewildered and confused when she heard this. Her voice was clear and pure, without any trace of emotion: "Erlang is Ah Xu's husband. Ah Xu should naturally put him first and consider him in everything."
