Chapter 44 The Drama Queen
She stopped and looked over here in surprise with another woman.
Pei Xingju paused.
I feel a little guilty for some reason.
Princess Wu Jing got the hairpin and immediately put it in her bun. She looked up and asked, "Master Pei, does it look good?"
This was exactly the question Zhuang Wan had asked that morning. What did Pei Xingju say then?
He said nothing, but turned around and got into the carriage with an expressionless face.
Zhuang Wan looked at them with a look of excitement, wanting to see how Pei Xingju would respond next, and whether he would also keep a blank expression towards the Princess of Lu.
Facts have proven that she is no match for the Princess of Lu. Pei Xingju nodded slightly and said, "It looks good."
Tsk!
It seems that the rumors are true. Even a fool would know to choose the Princess of Lu, let alone Pei Xingju, who is bent on revenge and full of cunning.
But at this time, Zhuang Wan could not remain indifferent. Firstly, Jiang Baohe was watching her, and secondly, she had deeper considerations.
She planned to play the role of a devoted lickspittle until Pei Xingju regained his memory, and then find an excuse to "break up" and leave. However, the role of devoted lickspittle was easy to play, but a good reason for "breaking up" was hard to find.
Fortunately, it was easy to get it. Isn't the reason here? The Princess of Lu is already there.
I love you deeply, I love you selflessly, I love you to death, but I want you to be happy more. Princess Lu is prettier than me, gentler than me, and more capable of acting like a spoiled child. I am willing to let go and let you be together!
Look! What a great love!
I just want to ask you if you feel touched! If I break up with you, would you feel the nerve to blame me?
Immediately, Zhuang Wan's body swayed, as if she could not stand.
Jiang Baohe supported her distressedly: "Sister Zhuang, maybe it's not what you see."
Zhuang Wan smiled bitterly, "How else could it be? They say seeing is believing, and I saw it with my own eyes, so it can't be fake, right?"
"He really did..." Zhuang Wan looked at Pei Xingju lovingly, her expression hurt and lonely. "...He really chose the princess."
Seeing Pei Xingju about to approach, Zhuang Wan covered her face with her hands in sadness and quickly got into the carriage.
Pei Xingju paused.
On the other side, Chen Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Baohe, and he ran over to say hello.
"Miss, it's been a long time since we last met, but I still remember you..."
Jiang Baohe followed Zhuang Wan into the carriage. She only had time to glance at Chen Yi before closing the door.
Chen Yi felt lost, and uttered the last "I" with regret. The fairy seemed to have forgotten him and turned away without any regrets.
"Master Pei? Master Pei?"
Princess Wu Jing was immersed in joy and shyness. Noticing Pei Xingju's gaze, she turned her head and asked, "What is Master Pei looking at?"
Pei Xingju stood silently.
The look of Zhuang Wan leaving sadly just now is still clear in my mind.
Gradually, I began to feel uneasy.
She must have misunderstood.
At this time, Princess Wu Jing said coquettishly, "I heard that the acrobatics in the capital are really good. Master Pei, can you take me to see them?"
"I'm very sorry," Pei Xingju said after a moment, "I have something else to do and can't accompany the princess."
"Sir Shen," he called out to Shen Yi, "I will be leaving first. Please, Sir Shen, entertain Princess Wu Jing."
After saying this, he didn't even look at Princess Wu Jing's ugly face. He simply snatched the reins from the guard's hand and rode away.
Shen Yi stepped forward with a smile: "Princess, how about I accompany you to watch the acrobatics?"
Princess Wu Jing bit her lip in anger, and became even more annoyed when she saw Chen Yi's playful smile.
"No, let's go back to the guild hall!"
She stepped hard on Chen Yi and got on the carriage angrily.
