Chapter 208 Complaint
After washing up, everyone returned to their rooms. Now Ji Zhisui was the only one in the room. She lay on the bed feeling a little nervous, wanting to close her eyes and sleep, but she was in such a nervous mood, how could she fall asleep?
Then, there was the sound of the door opening. After hearing the noise, Ji Zhisui looked over curiously and saw a man wearing only a middle-length shirt. Perhaps because he had just washed, the tips of his hair were still stained with moisture. The middle-length shirt did not wrap him tightly, revealing a little bit of his collarbone and chest.
This look, coupled with that cold face, was in stark contrast, and it made Ji Zhisui dazed for a moment. Soon, she closed her eyes, trying to pretend that she was asleep and had not seen anything.
Pei Yian took her in clearly, raised the corner of his mouth, and came to the bed.
There was an extra person on the bed. How could Ji Zhisui not notice it? A pair of hands stretched out in front of her, as if to fall on her clothes. She opened her eyes, which were originally pretending to be asleep, and grabbed the man's big hand.
But when she looked down, she found that the other person's hand was just tucking the corner of the quilt for her. By doing this, she was only making her attempt to cover up something more obvious.
She had just taken a shower, but the man's big hands were not cold at all. Instead, they were scorching hot, which made her subconsciously want to let go.
The movement was noticed, and the man's big hand restrained her hand, and brought her into his arms, their bodies pressed tightly together, leaving no gap.
"Sui Sui, did you miss me?" Ji Zhisui felt that the man's chin seemed to be resting on her head. The voice also came from above. She could only hear the man's voice but could not see his expression.
Whenever this man addressed her like that, Ji Zhisui had no resistance. She could only mumble, "No... No!"
"But I miss it very much!" The man raised his voice with an inexplicable allure. At the same time, one of his hands was stroking the soft and slender waist of the person in his arms, and he began to make trouble restlessly.
How could Ji Zhisui not understand the man's hint, and his body became weak and powerless under the man's teasing.
The overflowing desire, dyed with beautiful colors, fell into the abyss... It can be said that a short separation is better than a new marriage.
These days, the Pei family is very busy, as they are all preparing to return to Beijing.
The news of the new emperor ascending the throne and the rehabilitation of the Pei family also reached the ears of the second branch of the Pei family.
After staying in Qizhou County for so long, the people from the second branch of the Pei family never thought that they would be able to return to Beijing one day. Their faces were filled with joy, after all, they could finally leave this remote place.
I will soon return to Beijing to live a good life and restore my former glory and wealth.
But the most realistic problem facing everyone is that their family does not have much money. It takes a lot of money to travel from Qizhou to Lingnan. They walked here in the first place, so they can't walk back!
After the people from the second branch discussed it, they immediately thought of the people from the first branch of the Pei family.
If the eldest wife hadn't committed treason, how could they have ended up in exile and having their property confiscated? It's only right to ask them for help!
Old Master Pei Er came to Baiwei Restaurant with confidence and asked for money as soon as he opened his mouth. It was not a few hundred taels, but several thousand taels.
He also said that after returning to Beijing, I should go to the new emperor to complain, saying that the suffering of the second house was caused by the first house, and that I should be compensated heavily...
Even because of the news that the Pei family had been rehabilitated, there was still a hint of superiority and admonition from an elder in the tone of Old Master Pei II.
Those people are dead. After all, I am the oldest elder in the Pei family. He should be filial to me!
Pei Yian just looked at the man in front of him jumping around coldly, without saying a word, his eyes were cold.
He knew that the people from the second branch of the Pei family had not come to ask for money before, and he saw that it was easier to deceive the Pei family.
The current Pei is no longer the Pei of the past. She knows that money is not easy to make and does not like people from the second house, so she simply and decisively rejected this request.
After Old Master Pei Er finished expressing his demands, he was met with Pei Yian's cold gaze. He felt something was wrong although he had a lot of demands to make, so he shut up awkwardly.
"Why do I remember that you swore that it had nothing to do with our eldest wife?" When Pei Yian said this, there was a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"This... this... this is all a joke, don't take it seriously." Old Master Pei Er also regretted it, but he really couldn't imagine that the Pei family would be able to make a comeback one day!
I should have been more thoughtful and known this earlier...but I regret it now, and it's obviously too late to say these things.
"But I took it seriously. I remembered every detail of the Second House's ruthlessness in my heart." Pei Yian's attitude was firm, without any sign of agreement.
"You...are you being worthy of the ancestors of the Pei family by treating us like this? Besides, we are still a family after all!" Unexpectedly, this person would not listen to any advice. Old Master Pei was very angry and started to scold the man in front of him while pointing at his nose.
"Oh, you may not know that the reason the Pei family was previously cursed was closely related to the people from the second branch!"
Pei Yian only found out later that there was an undercover agent in the second branch of the Pei family. That person was the son of the second old master Pei. For power, glory and wealth, he was also involved in the murder of the first branch's family.
But he was too stupid. He dreamed of rising to the top, but he didn't expect that the man would not leave any survivors or evidence.
"You...you..." Old Master Pei Er wanted to say something, but then he thought of his son who died in the military camp. He opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Just wait! I'll go and complain to the new emperor about you!" After saying this, Old Master Pei Er left angrily.
"You want to complain? I don't mind exposing everything your son did, and then..."
Pei Yian spoke the threatening words lightly without stopping the work in his hands.
He had already done his best by not causing trouble for the second branch of the Pei family, but now this family actually dared to cause trouble in front of him.
If the other party really dares to do anything, he doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
When Old Master Pei Er heard this, his face froze. He wanted to scold him as an elder, but looking at Pei Yian's nonchalant attitude and tone, he knew that he still had something on their second branch's family.
By then, their second branch might be punished, so they had to grit their teeth and leave in disgrace.
Ji Zhisui heard the noise and asked curiously, "Is that someone from the second house?"
"It's not important." Pei Yian was indifferent and obviously didn't take the person seriously.
Ji Zhisui looked at the figure walking away and always felt as if he had forgotten something.
It seems to be about the Pei family, but what exactly is it...
Grandma, the stars are still...
It’s Tiantian!
Something will happen to her!
