Chapter 56: Sleeping with the eldest brother's deceased wife

Pei Yu stared at Zhao Yun without blinking.

He tried to see some forced composure on Zhao Yun's face.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Zhao Yun was actually really worried about his sickly elder brother.

A sneer appeared on Pei Yu's lips, and his eyes swept across Zhao Yun's face.

He thought that no matter how good Zhao Yun was at pretending, there would be a day when she would be exposed.

He stood not far from Zhao Yun every day, watching her often holding her face to look at her elder brother, chattering to her elder brother like a magpie.

Even my eldest brother, who was so boring and weak, was amused by her and smiled.

Pei Yu secretly clenched his fingers into fists, and a hint of anger suddenly flashed through his heart.

He was just wondering how Pei Jue, a sickly man, could smile so dazzlingly.

However, he did not realize that his concern for Zhao Yun had exceeded the scope of a younger brother-in-law's concern for his eldest sister-in-law.

Zhao Yun did not know the rules, nor was he good at playing the musical instrument, chess, calligraphy or painting. He always made a lot of jokes when paying respects.

Every time this happened, she would look embarrassed towards her parents-in-law.

Pei Yu watched coldly.

He seemed to enjoy seeing her being embarrassed. Whenever he saw her being scolded, the corners of his lips would curl up unconsciously.

Pei Jue's mother thought she was embarrassing, so she simply turned a blind eye and forgot her greetings.

Zhao Yun was oblivious to her mother-in-law's secret dislike for her, and continued to live her life with Pei Jue.

But Pei Jue's illness still did not improve.

Even though Zhao Yun took good care of him, Pei Jue still died in that coldest winter.

From that day on, Zhao Yun seemed like a different person, staring in a daze at the geese flying in the yard every day.

Pei Yu didn't know when he started paying more and more attention to Zhao Yun.

Seeing the smile disappear from her face, he felt blinded.

One day, he suddenly broke into her yard and asked her gently if she wanted to learn piano.

Zhao Yun looked at him blankly.

Pei Yu smiled, "My eldest brother used to love playing the qin the most, but later he was sick for a long time and no longer had the energy to play the qin."

"Sister-in-law can learn to play the guitar in the yard. If my brother is still alive, he will be grateful for her kindness."

Zhao Yun didn't know Pei Jue very well.

Pei Yu said so, and she believed it to be true, and studied hard with him every day.

But how could he know that it was not Pei Jue who liked to play the zither, and it was not Pei Jue who liked to listen to "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".

It’s Pei Yu.

There were no maids serving in her yard, so when Pei Yu came here, it was like entering a deserted place.

She was only fourteen years old when she married into the Pei family. In terms of generation, she was the eldest sister-in-law, but in terms of age, she was five years younger than Pei Yu.

Pei Yu told her a lot about Pei Jue.

He taught her how to read and write, and played chess with her in his spare time.

In Zhao Yun's eyes, Pei Yu is a very good person.

If someone had taught her manners since she was young, she would know that what Pei Yu did was definitely not what a brother-in-law should do to his sister-in-law.

But no one told her this.

She just thought that Pei Yu was a very gentle person like Pei Jue.

That evening, Pei Yu came to her yard as usual and handed her a small celadon bottle.

"What is this?"

Zhao Yun took it with some curiosity, opened it, and revealed two beautiful light blue pills.

Pei Yu's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes fell on the part of her exposed fair wrist.

She was much taller than when she got married, so the sleeves of the clothes she had made before were a little short for her.

But after Pei Jue passed away, no one in the mansion took her seriously.

Madam Pei was too lazy to even give her a maid to serve her, nor did she allow her to go out. She only fed her with simple porridge and side dishes, as if she had an extra cat.

As it was, naturally no one would tailor clothes for Zhao Yun.

Pei Yu's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on her fair neck.

He said slowly, "This is a pill to calm your nerves. If you take it, you will sleep better at night."

Zhao Yun was totally unaware of the blatant aggression in his gaze, and instead she smiled at him.

"Really?"

She thought that if she slept more peacefully, she might be able to dream of Pei Jue tonight.

However, this pill not only failed to make her wish come true, but turned her world upside down.

Not long after taking it, she felt weak all over.

Zhao Yun rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Thank you, Pei Yu, I'm sleepy now, you can go back."

Pei Yu did not move.

His hand even touched her cheek, "Ayun, I forgot to tell you that I have never been a good person."

Under Zhao Yun's horrified gaze, he picked the person up by the waist and threw him on the couch.

The moment her clothes were taken off, her world fell apart.

Her face was wrinkled in pain, and Pei Yu was stunned.

After a moment, he actually laughed.

"Pei Jue didn't touch you!"

Even though Pei Jue had such a beautiful woman by his side, he had never touched her before.

Pei Yu had a dark motive, and used humiliating Zhao Yun to vent his dissatisfaction with Pei Jue.

But Pei Jue had never met Zhao Yun, which obviously caught him off guard.

Zhao Yun's face was covered with tears, her eyes were red, "Get out!"

"Pei Yu! I'm going to kill you!"

Her trembling body and red eyes greatly stimulated the dark side of Pei Yu's heart.

Pei Yu smiled.

He pinched her chin and said, "Zhao Yun, you probably don't want the story between you and me to be known to everyone in the mansion, right?"

"If they knew you were my woman, do you think you would still be alive?"

"In other words, do you think my eldest brother will be able to survive from the anger?"

He laughed wildly, his eyes looking somewhat nonchalant.

Zhao Yunhun was trembling all over and his face was as white as fresh snow.

Even if she didn't understand etiquette, she knew that the two of them were having an affair.

The consequences of adultery are nothing more than being put in a pig cage or set on fire.

Pei Jue is dead, and Pei Yu is the only son of the Pei family.

The Pei family won't do anything to him.

But she will definitely die.

Zhao Yun was filled with hatred and fear, but Pei Yu showed a satisfied smile.

He knew that he held her life in his hands, and reached out to touch her hair.

From that day on, he began to come in and out of her house with abandon.

She had no servants here, which gave him the advantage of doing things. Whether he was happy or unhappy, he would satisfy his lust according to her wishes.

It’s not that Zhao Yun didn’t try to resist. She locked her door every day and even hid a pair of scissors under her pillow when she slept.

But when the power gap is huge, her scissors are useless.

Even if she closed the room, Pei Yu had a hundred ways to get in.

One day, Pei Yu was probably drunk. He hugged her waist tightly, leaned close to her ear, and asked without warning: "Ayun, I want to marry you. Are you willing?"

Zhao Yun shed silent tears and did not answer.

He was so strong that it hurt her.

Pei Yu seemed oblivious and kissed her neck passionately.

"Ayun, they say love grows with time. We've been together for so long, you still like me a little, right?"
