Chapter 37 Sister-in-law, we are a match made in heaven!
Jiang Ninghui's heart pounded uncontrollably.
My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.
She spent the entire evening with Young Master Pei.
Especially at the lantern festival, she was held tightly in Pei Gongzi's arms, so close that there wasn't even a gap between them, and her body naturally became covered with the scent of cedar from Pei Gongzi.
She returned and quickly washed up before lying down on the couch without changing her undergarments.
"My wife—"
As soon as Zhao Zhixue opened his mouth, the person in his arms suddenly turned around, and two slender, porcelain-white arms emerged from the blankets to wrap around his neck, shyly kissing his lips.
Zhao Zhixue was stunned, then his face lit up with joy!
More than six months into their marriage, this was the first time his wife had taken the initiative to kiss him.
Zhao Zhixue was overcome with lust and forgot what he was going to ask. He placed the oil paper package on the bedside table, hugged Jiang Ninghui tightly, and turned the tables.
The charcoal fire inside had burned to ashes, but there was still some warmth in the room.
Gradually, the two became more open and honest with each other.
Jiang Ninghui allowed her husband to do whatever he wanted to her.
She knew that Young Master Pei was still awake and would definitely be able to hear the commotion from here.
But she had no other choice.
She couldn't let her husband find out that she had spent the night with Young Master Pei.
She mustn't let her husband find out that she was the woman who was cornered by Young Master Pei tonight.
Jiang Ninghui bit her lower lip, wrapped her arms around her husband's neck, and spoke in a soft, pitiful voice.
"My lord, could you please be a little gentler?"
Zhao Zhixue swallowed hard and hugged her tightly: "I will obey my wife."
Jiang Ninghui closed her eyes, feeling the intense intrusion.
She bit her lip, trying not to make a sound.
But the old bed still made a loud creaking sound.
The sound was incessant, piercing through the thin walls and striking Pei Duo's ears one after another.
The young man stood by the window, and the purple-tipped brush in his hand snapped in two.
He lowered his eyelashes and looked at the rabbit lantern on the pear blossom table.
Rabbits are timid and fragile.
But it will hide.
At the slightest sound, it kicks its legs and runs.
For example, his good sister-in-law.
She was nearly seen by her husband, and was so frightened that she almost jumped out of her skin.
She would hide in the rabbit hole when she returned, and then, feeling guilty, she would have sex with her husband again.
The honest and law-abiding sister-in-law, it turns out, also knows how to be flexible.
but.
She was covered in his scent.
When she is intimate with her husband, can she feel his presence?
Jiang Ninghui in the next room did indeed sense it.
She had originally intended to close her eyes and let her husband do as he pleased, but tonight she would try her best to play dumb.
Pretend that Young Master Pei cannot hear.
But who knew that when she closed her eyes, her sense of smell became even more acute. The faint scent of cedar enveloped her body, transforming into a pair of invisible hands that caressed her skin inch by inch, bound her limbs, broke them open, and then probed deep inside.
Jiang Ninghui suddenly had a strong sense of illusion.
It seemed as if the person on her was not her husband, but Young Master Pei.
Jiang Ninghui, who has always been law-abiding and honest, suddenly trembled when she thought of another young man while having sex with her husband!
A strong sense of shame surged from her toes, spreading throughout her body and making her scalp tingle.
Zhao Zhixue sighed comfortably, hugged Jiang Ninghui tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Wife, you're so sensitive tonight."
Jiang Ninghui's eyes reddened with shame, and she bit her lower lip hard.
She felt like a promiscuous, bad woman.
She was having sex with her husband, but just now she was thinking of Young Master Pei.
Young Master Pei was only seventeen, the same age as her younger brother. Moreover, Young Master Pei was a gentleman of refined character, and his conduct never crossed any lines. His several intimate physical encounters with her were all for the purpose of helping her.
But what about her?
How dare you slander Young Master Pei like this!
Jiang Ninghui felt guilty towards her husband, and also ashamed and embarrassed for having tainted Young Master Pei.
She nestled into Zhao Zhixue's arms, silently shedding tears.
Jiang Ninghui suffered from insomnia that night, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Whenever she closed her eyes, countless voices seemed to be cursing her.
Call her a bad woman.
They scolded her for being shameless.
Call her a slut.
Jiang Ninghui finally fell into a deep sleep late into the night.
"sister in law……"
"sister in law."
"sister in law."
A deep, magnetic voice entered Jiang Ninghui's ears. She opened her eyes groggily and was shocked to see Young Master Pei above her!
The young man pressed down on her, his strong fingers gripping her wrists and pressing them over her head.
His handsome face was masked by a wicked smile.
He lowered his head, his cool lips gently tracing along her eyebrows and eyes, down to the tip of her nose, her cheek, and finally biting the tip of her ear.
Jiang Ninghui heard the young man's panting and heard him utter vile words.
"When you and your husband are having sex, does your sister-in-law ever think of me?"
"Sister-in-law, admit it, you're a bad woman."
"I'm a born bad seed, we're a match made in heaven."
Tears welled up in Jiang Ninghui's almond-shaped eyes.
She sobbed and shook her head, constantly trying to justify herself.
No...no.
"I'm not a bad woman, I'm not a bad woman, I'm not..."
“Sui Sui”.
"Sui Sui, wake up, Sui Sui."
Jiang Ninghui felt a gentle pat on her cheek.
Someone is calling her.
It sounds like my husband's voice.
Jiang Ninghui opened her eyes, her eyes filled with tears, her vision blurry, but she could see her husband clearly. He turned to her and held her face in his hands with concern, asking, "Did you have a nightmare? Why are you crying so hard?"
Jiang Ninghui jolted awake.
She stared blankly at her beloved who was so close to her, only then realizing that it was all a dream.
It was a nightmare.
Jiang Ninghui bit her lip, turned around and snuggled into Zhao Zhixue's arms, replying to his words, "I had a nightmare, it was so scary."
This was the second time she had dreamed of Young Master Pei.
In the dream, Young Master Pei was like a morbid madman, completely different from the Young Master Pei in reality.
fortunately.
That was just a dream.
Zhao Zhixue patted Jiang Ninghui on the back: "It's okay, go to sleep, I'm right next to you."
Jiang Ninghui nodded gently: "Mm."
Once she woke up, she couldn't fall back asleep.
As dawn broke, Jiang Ninghui, feeling dizzy and disoriented, got up to prepare breakfast, knowing that her husband and young master Pei were going to school.
Because she had slept with her husband the night before, and because she had impure thoughts about Young Master Pei, and because she was frightened by Young Master Pei's unusual behavior in her dream, Jiang Ninghui kept her head down at the breakfast table, not daring to look at Young Master Pei.
There was an extra piece of meat in the bowl.
Jiang Ninghui looked up, and Zhao Zhixue smiled and said, "Don't just eat rice, eat some vegetables too."
Jiang Ninghui: "Thank you, my lord."
She vaguely sensed a gaze hovering above her head.
It was Young Master Pei's gaze.
Jiang Ninghui didn't dare to look up and continued to cower like a turtle.
The young man glanced at his sister-in-law, who seemed to want to bury her head in the bowl, before looking away.
Last night, he heard his sister-in-law crying.
She was crying so pitifully.
She said she had a nightmare.
He was rather curious.
What kind of nightmare made my sister-in-law cry so pitifully and helplessly in her dream?
I've had breakfast.
Zhao Zhixue and Young Master Pei went to the school, and Jiang Ninghui tidied up the kitchen and went back to her room for a nap.
She slept without any dreams.
He woke up and sat alone on the edge of the bed for a long time in a daze.
Jiang Ninghui felt that she shouldn't avoid Young Master Pei.
Young Master Pei did nothing wrong. He took her to see the lantern festival, helped her out of a predicament, and bought her a rabbit lantern. Although it was to repay her kindness, these favors were nothing compared to what Young Master Pei had done for her.
If she keeps avoiding Young Master Pei for her own reasons, she is forcing him to find another place to go.
After convincing herself, Jiang Ninghui went to prepare lunch.
After the Lantern Festival, the weather warmed up a bit.
However, the spring chill lingers, and the mornings and evenings are still bitterly cold.
These past few days, Sister Mu's husband has returned from his sea voyage. The two of them, along with their child, have gone to Sister Mu's parents' home and her own family home. They will not return for about ten days. During these ten days, Jiang Ninghui has been staying at home alone, preparing three meals a day for her husband and Young Master Pei.
That day, the fact that she and Young Master Pei secretly went to the lantern festival on the Lantern Festival had become a secret between the two of them.
No one mentioned it.
It was as if that incident had never happened.
That morning, the young master and Young Master Pei went to the school.
Just as Jiang Ninghui finished cleaning the courtyard, a carriage arrived outside, carrying two men.
Jiang Ninghui knew one of them.
He was a servant in the prefect's residence who came to the courtyard twice to fetch Young Master Pei.
Another person, dressed in a dark blue cross-collar robe with fair skin, appeared to be the head of the household. As he entered, his gaze fell on Jiang Ninghui in the courtyard, and when he saw her coarse clothes, a clear look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
But when he looked up at that face, a look of amazement flashed across the man's face.
I never expected to find such a beautiful woman, like a lotus emerging from the water, in this dilapidated alley.
The servant bowed to Jiang Ninghui and respectfully asked, "Young lady, is Young Master Pei at home?"
Jiang Ninghui: "He went to school."
The servant smiled and said, "In that case, we won't bother you any longer, young lady."
Jiang Ninghui nodded gently and watched the two leave.
Before leaving, the other person glanced at Jiang Ninghui one more time.
He was the prefect's brother-in-law, and he was sent here by his brother-in-law to get to know Pei Duo better, preferably to the point of being on friendly terms with him, so that it would be of great help to him in the future.
He couldn't understand how a mere scholar could catch his brother-in-law's eye.
But he had no choice but to listen to his brother-in-law, which is why he made this trip.
Unexpectedly, I met a lovely young lady.
Zhou Hongxiang lifted the carriage curtain and asked the servant, "Whose family was that young lady just now? I remember my brother-in-law saying that Pei Duo is not married."
The servant said, "They are Young Master Pei's elder brother and sister-in-law."
Zhou Hongxiang: "Isn't Pei Duo an only son? How could he have an older brother and sister-in-law?"
The servant said, "I only know that she is the wife of Young Master Pei's fellow villager and friend. I know nothing else about her."
She turned out to be just the wife of a fellow villager and friend.
That has little to do with Pei Duo.
Although the young woman was dressed in coarse linen clothes, she was quite beautiful. Her almond-shaped eyes were soft and gentle, and when she raised her curved eyebrows to look at someone, it made one's body go weak.
It has little to do with Pei Duo, but he is someone Pei Duo can influence.
All you need to do is lure her out, have some fun with her, give her some money, and then send her back safely.
The woman had received a favor and had been touched by him, so she certainly wouldn't tell her husband.
Noon.
Jiang Ninghui prepared lunch, thinking that she would tell Young Master Pei about the visitor from the prefect's residence that morning when he returned.
But only the young master returned at noon; Young Master Pei was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Ninghui set out the bowls and chopsticks: "My lord, won't Young Master Pei be back for lunch?"
Zhao Zhixue placed a piece of meat into Jiang Ninghui's bowl: "After we came out of the school, Pei met an old friend, and the two of them went to a restaurant to eat and catch up. There's no need to wait for him."
Jiang Ninghui: "Okay."
After lunch, Zhao Zhixue went to the school.
Jiang Ninghui finished tidying up the kitchen and came out to hear a knock on the courtyard gate.
She went to open the door and saw a carriage parked in the alley, which was quite different from the carriage driven by the prefect's servants that morning.
The person knocking on the door was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
He said to Jiang Ninghui respectfully, "Young lady, I am a servant of the Longchang County government. I have come to invite you to my residence for a short while, as instructed by the prefect."
Jiang Ninghui's heart sank suddenly, and her hands and feet were covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
Why would the prefect send a servant to fetch a commoner woman to his residence for no reason?
Could it be... that the prefect knows about her and Young Master Pei's visit to the restaurant's cellar?
A tremendous panic and fear swept over Jiang Ninghui like a raging flood, making her legs weak and her face pale.
She lost her composure and didn't know how to respond.
But the servant kept urging her, "Young lady, please hurry up, don't keep the prefect waiting."
Jiang Ninghui's hands and feet were stiff, and she closed the courtyard gate and got into the carriage in a daze.
The carriage drove out of the alley and headed towards the street.
The street was bustling with activity, with pedestrians constantly going in and out of the shops on both sides.
At the intersection of East Street, in a Longchang restaurant, a man sitting by the window stood up and placed a piece of brown paper in front of the young man with both hands: "Young Master Pei, this letter was sent to you by someone who asked me to deliver it to you personally."
Pei Duo lowered his eyes, his extremely cold gaze sweeping over the brown paper.
He asked, "How is he?"
The person opposite said, "That person said that if Young Master Pei asks about him, he would let me answer a few questions."
The young man raised his eyes: "Oh? Tell me about it."
The man hesitated for a moment, then, mimicking the other's tone, forced himself to reply, "A scourge lives on for a thousand years; it won't die."
Pei Duo smiled silently.
That's just his style.
He put away the brown paper and suddenly heard a rapid panting sound.
With each breath, there was intense unease and panic.
That familiar panting sound—
It's my sister-in-law.
The young man's eyes narrowed, and he looked out the window. He saw a carriage approaching in the distance, driven by a child of about thirteen or fourteen. The carriage curtains were thick, so he couldn't see who was sitting inside.
But that panting sound was already etched into his bones.
He couldn't have misheard.
The wheels rolled and churned on the bluestone pavement, the dull thuds carrying into the carriage through the heavy curtains.
Jiang Ninghui gripped her clothes tightly with both hands.
The pitch-black carriage made her tremble uncontrollably. The fear and dread in her heart continued to grow, like a fine spider web binding her and making it hard for her to breathe.
Just as she thought she was about to faint, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Outside the carriage, it seemed as if Young Master Pei's voice could be heard.
"Sister-in-law, come down."
