Chapter 210 I won’t leave
Pei Xuan didn't dare to go to the prison to see his family. As soon as he looked into Pei Yuanzhong's eyes, he would remember that it was he who caused his entire family to suffer such a fate.
Pei's mansion was raided, and only he and Yang Jiyu were left in the mansion.
He was in no mood to run the incense hall anymore. He stayed in the Household Department and at home all day. None of his good friends came to see him. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. In the past, his peers did not have the same status as him, so they all flattered him. Now that such a big thing happened in the Pei Mansion, they all stopped associating with him.
Sometimes we can't blame them. The tragedy of the Pei family was caused by him. Who would want to be close to a man like him who would sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice?
It seems there is one.
After the incident at Pei Mansion, he dismissed the servants and there were no restrictions on entry and exit. However, no matter when that thin figure left, he would always come back in the end.
When he returned home after finishing his shift, it was already dark, and he happened to meet Yang Jiyu who had also returned.
She was still as timid as when he first met her. She must have gone to Xinglinchun, and she smelled of the bitter smell of medicine.
There was no light in the room, only a candle flickering by the window, reflecting Yang Jiyu's somewhat thin figure.
He couldn't help but spoke first, his voice a little hoarse: "You can go back."
Yang Jiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Where are you going back to?"
"The Yang family." Pei Xuan replied, "Now that there is no one left in the Pei family, I have the final say on my marriage. If you want to return to your brother, we can divorce."
Yang Jiyu didn't move, just looked at him quietly.
The candlelight reflected in her eyes was like two deep pools of water, calm and without ripples.
He suddenly felt irritated, and his former pride suddenly surged into his heart.
He sneered, "Why, are you reluctant to give up the wealth and glory of the Pei family?"
As soon as he said it, he regretted it. The Pei family was gone, so where did the wealth and glory come from? And what right did he have to mock her now?
But Yang Jiyu was still not angry.
She just walked up to him and looked up at him.
"I won't leave."
Pei Xuan was startled: "What?"
Yang Jiyu said again: "I will not leave. I am your wife. I am not someone who covets power. I will not leave you when you are down and out."
Her voice was soft, but every word was clear.
Pei Xuan stared at her and suddenly smiled. "Yang Jiyu, why are you pretending to be so affectionate? You only married into this family because your brother was controlled by my father! Now that the Pei family has fallen, why are you pretending to stay here?"
Faced with Pei Xuan's questioning, Yang Jiyu remained unannoyed and behaved as obediently as usual.
She just looked at him and asked softly, "Sir, do you want me to leave?"
Pei Xuan's breathing stagnated. It was these words that made him realize that this was the only person left by his side. He...
Do you really want to force the last person to leave?
Yang Jiyu stood opposite him, looking at him innocently with her eyes wide open, as if she would stay without hesitation with just one word from him.
Pei Xuan seemed to be bewitched by her gaze and could not utter the word "hope".
Finally he shook his head.
The room was eerily quiet. Yang Jiyu seemed to chuckle, "Pei Xuan."
She called his name for the first time, and he was startled.
"I'm not leaving."
Pei Xuan froze in place, and he suddenly remembered that she had said the same thing not long ago.
"I am your wife."
At that time, he was dismissive and thought she was just a puppet who accepted her fate.
But now, she actually really wanted to stay with him.
