Chapter 349: A Master of Quarrels
"Brother Pei Yuan, why haven't you been to our house recently? My mother has been talking about you all the time!" Li Ying said coquettishly, and she seemed to be very familiar with Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan was annoyed, but he didn't want to do anything too extreme. He responded coldly and went after Chen Jingshu.
He didn't think so just now, but now that he compared himself with Li Ying, Pei Yuan knew that what his grandmother said was true, and the daughters of the Duke's Mansion were indeed different.
Li Ying relied on the fact that he had met him a few times, and he wanted to show that they were very familiar with each other. The women next to him were also shy and timid when they saw him. In the past, he would have thought that he was a man of great literary talent and a charmer.
Today, his eyes seemed to have been enlightened, and he could see through their affectation and flattery at a glance.
This was probably because his grandfather was a regent and his father was promoted.
Pei Yuan suddenly felt bored, but Chen Jingshu was like a breeze, refreshing.
His follower Afu sighed as he saw him walking faster and faster. The girl from the Chen family never even looked at Pei Yuan. The young master was definitely going to fail this time, but it was acceptable for him to fail in the hands of the old lady.
Pei Yuan went around and around, and finally found Chen Jingshu, who was already with her sister Chen Jingya and Su Xiaoxiao.
At this time, she was holding a net and a stick and trying hard to catch something in the pond without caring about her image
.
Chen Jingya was a little worried and said, "Sister, be careful, it's too slippery here. I'll ask the eunuch to come and pick it up!"
"This butterfly is most afraid of water. If you come and go, I'm afraid it will be drowned. Besides, it will be just as dangerous if the palace maids and eunuchs come. There's no reason to let them take the risk for me!"
Chen Jingshu said, but her hands didn't stop moving at all.
Chen Jingya was speechless by what Chen Jingshu said, so she had to hold her sister's other hand tightly and said, "Then I'll hold you, so it won't be easy to slip down."
Pei Yuan heard it carefully and smiled foolishly in his heart, what a fool, two people, risking their lives for a mere butterfly.
But his feet kept moving forward, wanting to go over and help.
But before he got close, he heard Chen Jingshu's joyful voice: "I picked it up, it's still alive, but its wings are wet!"
Then he saw Chen Jingshu carefully placing the butterfly on a leaf in the sun.
The sun shone on her cheek, and her long eyelashes blinked, like a warm painting, which instantly captured Pei Yuan's heart.
This is what a girl should look like, neither humble nor arrogant in front of others, kind and brave behind others, much better than those flower-stands.
Pei Yuan was stunned without realizing it.
"Ouch!" Pei Yuan's head suddenly hurt, and he couldn't help but scream.
It turned out that he was hit on the head by a plum, and the culprit was Chen Jingshu's sister, Chen Jingya.
"Where did you come from, you lecher? Why are you staring at a girl like that? If you continue to be so rude, I'll hit you in the eyes!" Chen Jingya looked at Pei Yuan and started to curse.
Pei Yuan came back to his senses, feeling a little sorry but holding back: "Where did you come from, you little girl? Why are you talking nonsense? I was just looking at the scenery!"
"Looking at the scenery, your eyes are glued to my sister, you old pervert!" Chen Jingya was not used to him.
"You... I'm a good man and I don't fight with women!" Pei Yuan admitted defeat.
When Chen Jingshu saw that it was Pei Yuan, a look of disgust appeared on her face again, but she still knew the general situation and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Pei. My sister is reckless by nature. Don't bother with her!"
Pei Yuan stammered, "Your sister is quick-witted and straightforward. I was rude!"
Chen Jingya rolled her eyes and said, "At least you said something human, but I just thought that a dog can't spit out ivory!"
"Jingya, don't be rude!" Chen Jingshu gave her sister a warning look. This is in the palace, how can she be so presumptuous!
Pei Yuan was very angry, but he was not good at quarreling, so he had to admit defeat.
He looked at Xiaoxiao and said in a brotherly manner: "Xiaoxiao, you are here. I've been looking for you for a long time. Your brother is almost dying of anxiety. Come on, I'll take you to find him!"
Su Xiaoxiao watched Chen Jingya and Pei Yuan with interest, and had no intention of intervening.
She was watching with great interest, but Pei Yuan wanted to leave. Su Xiaoxiao didn't see enough of the show and was in a bad mood.
She drooped her face and said unhappily: "You are here to see Sister Chen, don't use me as a shield!"
Pei Yuan came to see Chen Jingshu, and only he knew about this matter, so how could Xiaoxiao say anything? "What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"
"I knew you had bad intentions, you old pervert, stay away from my sister!" Chen Jingya protected her sister like a fighting chicken.
Pei Yuan looked at Chen Jingshu and wanted to explain, but after hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, the disgust on Chen Jingshu's face became more obvious.
She lowered her head and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Princess, are you going with us to the flower hall, or with Master Pei to look for your brother?"
"I want to go with my sister!" Su Xiaoxiao answered decisively.
Chen Jingshu looked at Pei Yuan with cold eyebrows: "Master Pei also heard that Princess Anle wants to go with us. I will hand her over to Miss Su in person!"
After saying that, she took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and was about to leave.
Pei Yuan saw that Chen Jingshu was angry, and his heart was inexplicably panicked. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Then she suddenly had an idea and said, "In that case, I will go with you!"
"Please stay, Mr. Pei. This is Miss Su's sister. Your sister is behind. You should take care of them first!"
Chen Jingshu said this with a double meaning, and left without looking back, holding Su Xiaoxiao's hand.
Pei Yuan felt empty in his heart, staring at Chen Jingshu's back in a daze. Chen
Jingya suddenly turned around, glared at Pei Yuan fiercely, and made a few gestures in front of Pei Yuan with her fists. Pei Yuan knew what she meant, and when she looked at her sister again, she was not polite.
Pei Yuan sighed deeply. Today was a bad start. Who said that the girls in Guangyi Marquis's Mansion were sensible and reasonable? This Chen Jingya was simply stubborn and annoying.
"Brother Pei Yuan!" Li Ying's coquettish voice rang out from behind again. Pei Yuan was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. She made him angry.
He turned around suddenly, anger in his eyes: "Miss Li, please respect yourself. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't call me brother. Miss Li and I have only met a few times, so don't let people misunderstand me!"
"Brother Pei Yuan, have you forgotten..."
"Yes, I forgot. There is no need to remember insignificant people and things!" Pei Yuan said, and walked away in big strides.
If it weren't in the palace, he would definitely not say so much nonsense to Li Ying, and would have just scolded her directly.
He walked away angrily with his head down, and suddenly bumped into someone.
