Chapter 158: Awesome Methods
Jiang Fei received the news early the next morning and tore the post to pieces on the spot.
"If he tells me to leave, I leave. If he tells me to go, I go. Am I the kind of person who can be summoned and dismissed at will?"
Wen Zhu finally understood a little bit of her brother's hardships. Now it is really not easy for them to take care of one child each.
She quickly tried to comfort him, "If you don't go, how are you going to question the prince? Besides, the prince has already bowed his head and asked you to go. If you still don't go, won't it seem petty?"
"Don't try to provoke me." Jiang Fei snorted twice, "I won't be fooled."
Wen Zhu: “…”
It seems that her job is more difficult than Duan Jiu's. Miss Jiang Er is not as easy to fool as the prince.
In the afternoon, Jiang Fei figured it out and slowly packed up and went out.
When she was going out, she happened to meet Jiang Chenglang who was coming back from school. He grabbed her skirt and refused to let go, insisting on going with her.
Jiang Fei thought it was better to go, as there was strength in numbers. Besides, there was a child with him. Pei Jing couldn't take advantage of him in front of the child, so he took Jiang Chenglang with him.
Jiang Chenglang climbed into the car and sat down obediently. He couldn't help but ask, "Second sister, which brother-in-law are we going to meet?"
"Pei Jing."
"Oh." Jiang Chenglang nodded, "That's the prince's brother-in-law."
The carriage bumped past the gate of Zhaoning Prince's Mansion, circled half a circle and stopped outside the side door of the palace.
Wen Zhu jumped off the carriage and saw Jiang Fei still sitting there as steady as a rock. He asked, "Miss, aren't you going in?"
"No," Jiang Fei crossed her arms, "Ask him why he wants me here?"
Wen Zhu: “…”
How is this different from a quarrel between a young couple?
"Oh, okay."
Wen Zhu had just taken a few steps when Jiang Fei poked her head out of the carriage and said, "Wait."
Jiang Fei looked her up and down. Wen Zhu was Pei Jing's person. What if she sided with Pei Jing when she delivered the message?
"Don't go. Let someone else go." She glanced at Jiutao and Jiang Chenglang's faces twice.
Jiutao was trembling with fear, and Jiang Chenglang was eager to try. With Jiutao's personality, she might not be able to speak clearly when she saw Pei Jing, so Jiang Chenglang had to take on this important task.
But Jiang Chenglang’s IQ is really a bit worrying.
"It's you." Jiang Fei pointed.
Jiang Chenglang stood up with his mountain-like body, and stepped so hard that the carriage shook twice.
"Second sister! What should I say?"
Given Jiang Chenglang's intelligence, Jiang Fei didn't dare to speak too long, lest he wouldn't remember, so she could only make it short.
"Just tell Pei Jing, 'Grandpa, I'm here,' and don't change a word for it, okay?"
Jiu Tao and Wen Zhu took a breath. He spoke so harshly. Fortunately, they were not asked to pass on the message. It was probably only Jiang Chenglang who dared to say such a thing.
"Grandpa, I'm coming, Grandpa, I'm coming..." Jiang Chenglang repeated several times, and said confidently: "Second sister, I remember it!"
"Go ahead."
Jiang Chenglang got off the carriage, shaking his chubby body and followed the servants into the palace.
He didn't expect the palace to be so big. He was tired after walking around in so many twists and turns. By the time he arrived at Xiesongzhai in Peijing, Jiang Chenglang was almost out of breath.
Pei Jing waited and waited but no one showed up. He hadn't even taken a bite of lunch. When he heard that Jiang Fei had arrived, he adjusted his hair crown and waited for a long time before he saw a little fat boy and a maid come in, but there was no sign of Jiang Fei.
He remembered this little fat boy and even called him his second brother-in-law.
"Where's your second sister?"
Jiang Chenglang panted, "My second sister said she won't come in, and she wants me to tell my second brother-in-law something."
"She doesn't..." Pei Jing's anger was firmly suppressed by the word "second brother-in-law".
With children around, he, as an elder, naturally cannot be too impatient. After all, he has to set a good example for the children.
Pei Jing brushed off his robe and said, "Go ahead."
Jiang Chenglang took a deep breath, puffed out his round belly, and said loudly:
"My second sister asked me to tell my second brother-in-law, Grandpa! I'm here!"
Pei Jing had just rested his elbow on the table when he heard this. His elbow slipped and he nearly fell. "Did she really say that?"
Jiang Chenglang nodded proudly, "Exactly the same!"
Pei Jing turned to look at Duan Jiu, "She, what does she mean?"
Duan Jiu was also a little confused and shook his head.
Jiang Chenglang stepped forward, tugged at Pei Jing's sleeve, pointed at the candied fruit on the table and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat this."
"That's for your second sister." Pei Jing picked up one and stuffed it into his hand. "You can only eat one. If you eat too much, your second sister will scold me."
Jiang Chenglang bit into the candied fruit and said, "Brother-in-law, do you have anything to tell me? I have to go back and tell my second sister."
"You'll have to wait."
After Pei Jing finished speaking, he gave Duan Jiu a look and went to the inner room.
He began pacing back and forth as soon as he entered the inner room. "What's wrong with her? Why is she suddenly calling me grandpa?"
Duan Jiuxin said that even the prince with abnormal brain circuits didn't know what was going on, so he had even less idea.
These two people are really a perfect match. They can do things that normal people can't do.
Duan Jiu racked his brains. "This subordinate is also confused. Could it be that Miss Jiang is apologizing to His Majesty? Usually, the loser in a street fight will cry out for mercy. This subordinate is just guessing. I really can't think of anything else."
Is Xiao Cui the type to admit her mistake? This feels like a trap. Pei Jing is a little panicked.
"Even if she knows she's wrong, there's no need to be like this. Why is she calling me grandpa?"
Suddenly, an idea came to him. He walked over, rummaged through the shelf, and took down a book.
Duan Jiu noticed that it was not "One Hundred and Eight Ways to Chase the Prince", but a book with a very explosive name "Don't Say the Beautiful Girl is Soft, the Prince Kneels and Calls Me Darling".
This, this, this...
"Is this the book I bought for the prince?"
Pei Jing didn't have time to pay attention to him. He flipped through the book and said, "I found it in the book you bought a few days ago."
Duan Jiu felt ashamed instantly. He really shouldn't have given the job of buying books to Wen Zhu.
That damn girl brought back a box of books, and said mysteriously that they were the best-looking ones. He didn't check them one by one, but he never thought that there were books like this mixed in. The titles of the books looked so unremarkable.
"Found it."
Pei Jing sat down and quickly read the page. In the book, the heroine called out to her ancestors and also called out to her daddy when she was begging for mercy on the couch. Isn't this similar to Jiang Fei calling him grandpa?
Duan Jiu saw that his prince's ears turned red instantly. He didn't know what was written in the book and why it made the prince so anxious, so he leaned his head closer.
Pei Jing slammed the book shut with a red face, angrily saying, "I knew she had some tricks! This must be the trick in the missing fragment."
It was amazing, so amazing that he was completely helpless.
Should he compromise? But she was already indecisive. If he forgave her so easily, wouldn't it make him seem easy to please?
Forget it, a real man shouldn't bother with her.
Pei Jing took a deep breath to calm himself down. He straightened his robe and walked out of the inner room pretending to be calm.
There was only half a plate of candied fruit left on the table. Jiang Chenglang had a bulging belly and was still biting half a piece of candied fruit in his mouth.
Pei Jing was so upset that he didn't have time to care about him. He said, "Tell your second sister that since she knows she's wrong, she can come in."
Jiang Chenglang was almost unable to walk after eating so much. Not wanting to keep Jiang Fei waiting for a long time, Pei Jing called two secret guards to carry him out.
