Chapter 45 My Sister-in-Law's... Lover
The Zhao couple were both startled to see Pei Duo suddenly appear.
Especially Zhao's father.
When he met Pei Duosen's cold, piercing black eyes, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
The couple had practically watched Pei Duo grow up, but Pei Duo was different from ordinary children. He was aloof and indifferent from a young age, and never made friends with anyone. Even though the two families had been neighbors for many years, Pei Duo would only nod and walk past them when he saw them.
Sometimes, even Zhao's father was quite intimidated by Pei Duo.
I always felt that when this child looked at people, there was a cold indifference in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead person.
For example, right now.
Those dark pupils stared at him.
The stare made Zhao's father's scalp tingle and his hair stand on end.
Li was also startled by Pei Duo's gaze, not understanding why he had suddenly appeared.
Pei Duo stepped into the house, his tall and imposing figure instinctively protecting Jiang Ninghui behind him.
If it weren't for the fear of implicating my sister-in-law.
Today he will end the lives of these two old bastards.
Pei Duo raised his hand, a string of coins hanging from it: "I heard what you two were saying when I came in. This string of coins is the money I gave my sister-in-law last month in advance for the next six months' worth of food expenses. I never expected that you would say it was given to her by her lover outside."
The young man's eyes were icy cold: "This money was given to my sister-in-law. May I ask, Uncle Zhao, am I her lover?!"
Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Li gasped in shock.
How could that be!
Jiang Ninghui's lover could not possibly be Pei Duo.
How could someone so arrogant and aloof be willing to be a married woman's lover?
Zhao's father finally understood why Pei Duo was so angry.
It's probably because he insulted him with his words just now.
However, the two dared not argue with Pei Duo. Over the years, the Zhao family had taken advantage of the Pei family quite a bit, and they would definitely need to rely on the Pei family in the future. They couldn't afford to offend them, especially since the Pei family must have connections with high-ranking officials and nobles.
After all, the Pei family receives guests every year in magnificent carriages and dressed in luxurious clothes.
Being on good terms with the Pei family is beneficial and harmless.
The two realized they had misunderstood their daughter-in-law.
Zhao's father said stiffly, "Duo-ge'er, I misunderstood. Your uncle apologizes."
Pei Duo showed him no mercy: "Uncle Zhao's mistake wasn't just here, it was also that—as a father-in-law, you ransacked your daughter-in-law's wardrobe, tore off her clothes, and carelessly threw her underwear on the ground. Where do you put your daughter-in-law's dignity? As a father-in-law, your behavior is shameless and despicable, worse than a dog or a pig!"
With each word Pei Duo spoke, Zhao's father's expression grew increasingly grim.
By the time he heard the last two sentences, Zhao's father's face had turned a deep purplish-red.
As an elder, how can one swallow such an insult from a junior in front of one's wife and daughter-in-law!
Before he could get angry, Pei Duo said, "If word gets out about your despicable and vile behavior, have you ever thought that it will tarnish the academic career of your most trusted son? In the future, people will criticize and accuse Brother Zhao's father of moral failings. Do you think the court will still allow Brother Zhao to participate in the imperial examinations?"
Upon hearing this...
As angry as he had been, Zhao's father was now equally terrified.
The Zhao family was counting on their son to pass the imperial examination with flying colors, so that they could hold their heads high in Xiping Village and then go to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury in front of the whole village.
If he ruins his son's future, not only will he feel guilty, but his son will probably hate him as his father!
He couldn't bring himself to apologize to his daughter-in-law, so he finally managed to say, "Sui Sui, Dad won't go through your wardrobe again."
After saying that, he quickly left the room.
Li was also quite frightened by Pei Duo's words.
She quickly said, "Brother Duo, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Then she looked at Jiang Ninghui, who was still standing outside the house in a daze: "Tell me, why didn't you say that it was Duo-ge'er who paid for your meals? If you had said that, there wouldn't have been this misunderstanding."
Jiang Ninghui bit her lip and remained silent.
Only she knew that this was an excuse that Young Master Pei had fabricated to help her cover up the money.
Pei Duo: "As soon as I entered the door, I heard Uncle Zhao accuse my sister-in-law of having an affair without any explanation. He threw money at her without giving her a chance to explain. If I hadn't happened to come back today, wouldn't I have really been accused of having an affair?"
A few words from her made Li's face turn pale and then red.
Unable to stay any longer, Li hurriedly went out and snatched the vegetable basket from Jiang Ninghui's hand: "Go and tidy up the house quickly, and then come to the kitchen to help me."
Jiang Ninghui curled her fingers and whispered, "I'll go right now."
After her mother-in-law went to the kitchen and her father-in-law left the courtyard, Jiang Ninghui hurriedly ran into the house and bowed gratefully to Pei Duo: "Young Master Pei, thank you, and thank you for helping me seek justice for myself in front of my father-in-law."
The first word of thanks was understood by only the two of them.
The woman's soft voice trembled slightly from shock.
Pitiful.
And yet, she's so endearing.
The young man clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to pull the woman into his arms and restraining his fingertips from caressing her delicate spine.
He glanced at the two small garments lying scattered on the ground, his dark eyes filled with a sinister and malevolent aura.
If he doesn't kill those two old bastards, he won't be able to quell his murderous intent.
Pei Duo walked past Jiang Ninghui, picked up two small garments from the ground, and tucked them into his sleeves.
Jiang Ninghui stared at the scene in astonishment, her almond-shaped eyes wide with disbelief.
"Young Master Pei, what... what are you doing?"
The young man looked directly at Jiang Ninghui with a calm gaze and spoke in a nonchalant tone: "These two undergarments were touched by my sister-in-law's father-in-law and are now soiled, so they are no longer suitable for wearing. My sister-in-law has suffered humiliation today, and I am not without fault in this matter. I feel guilty and will give her two more undergarments as an apology another day."
"As for these coins, I will keep them for my sister-in-law for two days."
Jiang Ninghui stared blankly at Pei Gongzi's departing figure, unable to understand the meaning behind his words for a moment.
Where does Young Master Pei's guilt towards her come from?
What does it have to do with Young Master Pei that she was slandered and harassed by her in-laws?
She felt that not only was it unrelated, but it almost tarnished Young Master Pei's reputation.
The thought of Young Master Pei taking her undergarments again and tucking them into his sleeves made Jiang Ninghui feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Since her in-laws were both there, she felt embarrassed to ask for it back.
Jiang Ninghui quickly tidied up the messy clothes on the floor and went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law.
Li spoke at length to Jiang Ninghui, telling her not to take the matter to heart and not to spread it outside, lest it ruin Zhao's father's reputation and jeopardize her son's future.
Jiang Ninghui lowered her head to pick vegetables, only responding softly.
At noon, Zhao Zhixue returned home and learned that his parents had come all the way to celebrate his birthday. He was overjoyed. The four members of the Zhao family sat at a table with Pei Duo. The lively atmosphere of previous years was nowhere to be seen. Zhao's father and Li Shi looked somewhat uneasy and apprehensive.
They were afraid that Pei Duo would bring up what had just happened at the table, which would upset their senior and the two elders.
Fortunately, Pei Duo didn't mention the matter at all during the meal.
After lunch, Li gave Jiang Ninghui many instructions, all of which were about how to take good care of Zhao Zhixue, urging him to rest well, eat on time, and not to wear himself out.
After seeing her in-laws off, Jiang Ninghui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She closed the courtyard gate, still feeling somewhat shaken by what had happened that morning.
If it weren't for Young Master Pei's timely appearance today, she would probably have been disfigured by her father-in-law and accused of having an affair by her in-laws.
Jiang Ninghui glanced at Pei Duo's room; the doors and windows were closed.
He and his husband both went to school.
Thinking of the two little garments he took...
Or, she could ask Young Master Pei for it back when he returns from school tonight.
.
It takes two hours to walk from Qingping Town to Xiping Town.
Along the way, you will pass through lush and dense forests.
In the middle of the woods is a path worn down by people over the years, with tall weeds growing on both sides.
The forest is lush and dense, blocking out the sun.
Zhao's father and Li stepped into the forest path, angrily cursing Pei Duo.
I cursed the whole way.
They called him arrogant, eccentric, disrespectful, and cold-hearted.
They didn't seem like children born to the Pei couple; they looked like they'd been picked up from a pack of wolves.
The two were arguing fiercely when suddenly a rope hanging from a tree got caught around their necks. A powerful force suddenly pulled the rope up, lifting them both into the air and leaving them suspended.
The rope was wrapped around the necks of the Zhao couple. They struggled desperately with both hands to pull on the rope, but the force of the rope made them roll their eyes back.
Zhao's father was so frightened that his hair stood on end, cold sweat poured down his back, and he almost wet himself.
Li struggled with her legs, nearly fainting from the strangulation.
Who wants to harm them?!
Who is it?!
As if remembering something, Zhao's father shuddered.
Could it be that there are bandits and thieves roaming this road, killing and plundering here?!
Surely those two old folks couldn't be so unlucky as to encounter such a terrible thing!
Zhao's father tried to look up, but all he could see were large, leafy trees and nothing but green leaves.
The young man stood atop the tree trunk, one hand twisting two ropes, looking down at the two old men's pathetic, dying struggle.
My sister-in-law is so good.
So honest.
Yet they were humiliated by the Zhao family.
The Zhao family obtained such a treasure, yet they squandered it so badly.
All these evil deeds deserve to be punished by death.
but--
Pei Duo loosened some of his grip on his palm.
He suddenly felt that letting them die like this would be too easy on them.
They belittled and humiliated their sister-in-law, while placing high hopes on that good-for-nothing.
He then spared their lives, letting them witness it firsthand.
Later, he would proudly marry his daughter-in-law, whom they looked down upon, and watch as the good-for-nothing they had placed their hopes on climbed to the top step by step, only to be crushed in the mud by him and become a lowly waste despised by everyone.
Then kill them.
That's when it feels good.
The young man's grip tightened suddenly.
The Zhao couple rolled their eyes a few times and then fainted.
Pei Duo loosened the ropes, letting the two men fall to the ground like mud. He slightly raised his knuckles, and a person flew from behind and landed on the tree trunk, bowing respectfully and saying, "What are your orders, sir?"
Pei Duo: "Are there any bandit hideouts around here?"
The man said, "There is a bandit stronghold thirty miles away. The stronghold doesn't have many people, only about thirty."
The young man said, "Take them to the bandits' den and tell them to treat these two well. Remember, don't cripple them. If they are, my good sister-in-law will have to take care of them."
The man bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Pei Duo: "Gouge out one of Zhao Fusheng's eyes and pull out the tongues of both of them."
The man paused for a moment, then replied again, "Yes!"
.
There were quite a few people in Qingping Town today. The young man walked into the town, turned a corner, and entered a small alley.
Seeing that the gate was locked from the inside, they entered through the wall.
In the quiet courtyard, the young man listened to the woman's soft, long breaths.
sister in law--
She fell asleep.
Pei Duo pushed open the door and entered, lifting his robe to sit on the edge of the couch, watching the woman lying asleep in the quilt.
The window was half open.
The afternoon sun slanted across Jiang Ninghui's delicate and beautiful face.
The young man raised his hand, his five fingers lightly tracing the woman's delicate arched eyebrows.
A delicate, petite nose.
Crimson lips.
One by one.
Finally, the young man placed his fingertip on Jiang Ninghui's lips.
Her lips were very soft.
He has tasted it.
That night, he tasted extremely strong flavors.
That feeling was like a nightmare, disturbing his peaceful dreams every night.
Pei Duo's knuckles penetrated deep into Jiang Ninghui's teeth, forcing open her jaw and entering her mouth.
Press down on that crimson tongue tip.
Clear saliva moistened Jiang Ninghui's lips.
The person in their sleep seemed to sense the discomfort of being invaded, their delicate brows furrowed, and they murmured softly in their sleep.
Then, I took a bite.
A dull ache emanated from his skin and flesh. These slight pains did not bring the young man back to his senses; instead, they fueled an even more destructive urge.
He bent his tall back, his handsome thin lips pressed against Jiang Ninghui's eyelids.
Then, he gently brushed against her trembling eyelashes.
"sister in law."
"Don't be afraid."
"Those two old geezers will never be able to curse you again."
The young man's lips traced the corner of her eye and the tip of her nose before landing on her lips.
He gently licked away the moisture from her lips, bit by bit.
A tingling, itchy sensation repeatedly tormented Jiang Ninghui. She whimpered twice, feeling bullied, and then lifted her heavy eyelids—
