Chapter 18 Kill Me
Duan Jiu quickly returned to the alley.
The sun was high in the sky, and a carriage was parked in the shade of an old, crooked locust tree in the alley.
When he reached the carriage, a voice came from the window, "Is it done?"
Duan Jiu lowered his head slightly and said, "I have failed to perform my duties well and I am willing to accept the punishment."
A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted by a folding fan, revealing a face that was elegant and extraordinary, but there was a deep coldness in the eyes at this moment.
Duan Jiu lowered his head even more and explained, "The young ladies from all the families are in the courtyard. Only one person is in Liu Zhiwei's room. It's just...
"Just what?"
"That person is the second daughter of the Jiang family." Duan Jiu said.
The hand that lifted the curtain paused for a moment, then raised it a little higher. The carriage was filled with ice, and cool air came out from the window.
Duan Jiu couldn't figure out the prince's mood at the moment. He had been with Pei Jing since he was a child, and it had been more than ten years now.
After more than ten years, Duan Jiu still couldn't understand Pei Jing. He was afraid that he would never find anyone in the world who could understand him.
The curtain fell, and Pei Jing landed on the ground. He glanced inside the courtyard wall and said, "I will go get it myself."
…
Jiang Fei didn't like to engage in intrigue with those young ladies, but it was also not a good idea for her to stay in someone else's room for too long. If something was lost, she wouldn't be able to wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
After she washed clean, she got up from the tub, put on her underwear, and scooped up her wet hair. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong.
Jiang Fei suddenly looked towards the screen, where a tall figure was reflected. It was obviously a man.
In a short period of time, many questions flashed through Jiang Fei's mind.
When did the other party come in?
To be able to sneak in without anyone noticing, either the maid was murdered, or they are in the same group.
Was this arranged by Liu Zhiwei?
What if they came to rob her of her money or her body? She didn't have any money, but she did have some sex.
This is ancient times. If this gets out, will she never be able to get married in her life?
Jiang Fei pretended not to notice the other person's presence, turned his eyes away indifferently, picked up his coat and put it on, thinking about how to escape.
There is a window here that you can push open and climb out directly.
She quickly rushed to the window and pushed it hard out.
???
The window didn't move.
She pushed again, but it didn't budge.
Damn it! Could it be sealed from the outside?
Pei Jing had been observing her behind the screen for a long time, watching her rattling the window, which gave him a headache.
Unable to bear it any longer, he came out from behind the screen and said expressionlessly, "That's being pulled in."
Jiang Fei: "Oh, thank you."
After she finished speaking, her body suddenly stiffened and she turned her head, "Why are you here?"
Pei Jing leaned against the screen, "Why can't I be here?"
Jiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The person who came was 'Wei Mingzhen', so she didn't have to be afraid. Even if the matter was settled here, others would only say that they were a little anxious.
Besides, she is eager to make the matter a fait accompli, so there is no need to try to improve Wei Mingzhen's favorability towards her. He has no choice but to marry her.
"Are you following me?"
Pei Jing looked at me as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh." Jiang Fei understood, "You didn't follow me, but appeared in Liu Zhiwei's room. Could it be that you are..."
She narrowed her eyes and raised her eyebrows.
Pei Jing felt that the look and expression were not very clean, so he asked, "What is it?"
Jiang Fei had an expression that said, "I know everything, but I just won't say it." She casually pulled a handkerchief and squeezed the water out of her hair.
Pei Jing slowly approached with a faint smile on his face, took the handkerchief from her hand and gently wiped her hair.
Jiang Fei was a little uncomfortable with such sudden closeness and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But thinking about the fact that if she gets married in the future, not only will she have to do hair drying, she might even have to do more intimate things, she must start to overcome it now.
The handkerchief was twisted through the ends of her hair and moved upwards, the movement so slow that it seemed like flirting.
Jiang Fei's back stiffened. "Okay, are you done?"
"Not yet." Pei Jing's voice sounded faintly in her ears.
"Then hurry up."
"good."
After saying this, Pei Jing raised the corners of his lips slightly, and the handkerchief suddenly went around her neck and pulled back.
Jiang Fei was thrown back by the force, and her back hit Pei Jing's chest.
"Wei... cough cough..."
The handkerchief around her neck gradually tightened. Pei Jing suddenly leaned closer, his breath whispering in her ear as he spoke slowly:
"Don't shout, I don't like it."
Jiang Fei's pupils suddenly contracted, and the feeling of suffocation made her instinctively grab the handkerchief around her neck, "Kill... Kill..."
Pei Jing frowned and loosened his grip a little, "Who to kill?"
Finally, some oxygen flowed into Jiang Fei's chest. She took a deep breath. Pei Jing seemed to be unable to wait for her answer and urged:
"Tell me quickly, who to kill?"
Jiang Fei tilted her neck and said with difficulty: "Kill me..."
Pei Jing curled his lips and answered excitedly, "Okay."
The handkerchief was tightened again.
Jiang Fei: ???
Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet!
Jiang Fei quickly grabbed Wei Mingzhen's hand, her nails almost digging into the back of his hand, "I... I haven't... finished yet."
Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, then relaxed a little. "Do you have any last words?"
At this moment, Jiang Fei wanted to curse all his ancestors.
"Kill me and you might lose your wife!"
She finally yelled out these words, which startled Pei Jing so much that he subconsciously let go of the handkerchief in his hand.
Jiang Fei was freed and immediately hid by the window, looking at "Wei Mingzhen" vigilantly.
Oh my god, this guy is so crazy, how can he be even crazier than Pei Jing?
Pei Jing is a "crazy man hiding behind a jade-like face", he is too lazy to even hide it.
"Why do you want to kill me every time?" Jiang Fei covered her neck and rubbed it. If she used so much force, she was afraid that she would get bruises tomorrow.
Pei Jing: "Didn't you ask me to kill you?"
"I haven't finished what I'm saying yet, okay?" Jiang Fei yelled at him angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's just a moment, can't you wait for me to finish what I'm saying?"
Pei Jing: "..."
Having already yelled, Jiang Fei simply continued, "Do you know what it means to be gentle and considerate to women? Do you know what it means to be gentlemanly? You just wipe my hair, but you came up and strangled me. You are a big man, but you dare not admit that you want to kill me. If you don't want to kill me, why are you strangling me?"
Pei Jing was silent for a moment, as if he finally understood the meaning of her rapid-fire words.
"I'm asking you what your guess is."
When Jiang Fei heard this, she got even more angry. "Just ask if you want to. Can't you ask nicely? If you don't strangle me, will I not tell you?"
Pei Jing was stunned by his yelling. No one had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.
They were all afraid of him, terrified of him, cautious of him, and kept their distance from him.
"But many people won't speak up unless they're taught a lesson."
This is the conclusion Pei Jing has come to over the years. Only if people are afraid of him and terrified of him will they not look down on him.
Jiang Fei rolled her eyes, walked forward and tapped Pei Jing's chest with her finger.
"Speak nicely from now on! Don't scare people all the time. Communicate first. If communication doesn't work, think of other ways. Your mouth can be used for more than just eating; it can also be used for communication. Got it?!"
She withdrew her hand and twisted her fingertips. It felt quite good.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have used just one finger. I should have pressed it directly with both hands.
