Chapter 190: Collect some labor fees
The next morning, Jiang Fei was dragged out by Wen Zhu.
"Miss, hurry up," Wen Zhu pulled Jiang Fei forward, "It's right in front. I heard it was opened during the days when we were not in Beijing."
Jiang Fei was dragged forward by Wen Zhu, but she felt something was wrong. "It's still early. There's no need to rush even for dinner."
“If you’re late, there won’t be any room.”
After turning the corner, Wen Zhu suddenly stopped and pointed ahead, saying, "That's the one."
Jiang Fei looked in the direction of her finger and saw a crowd of people in front of the newly opened restaurant. It was indeed doing good business.
But what happened today was too strange. The one who was greedy was Jiutao, and what attracted Wen Zhu was definitely not food.
Jiang Fei's heart moved slightly, and suddenly she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her.
Wen Zhu hurriedly pulled her aside, and the carriage stopped after passing the two of them.
Pei Jing opened the car curtain and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wen Zhu: "My subordinate and the young lady are here to try the dishes in this new restaurant. Where is the prince?"
Pei Jing said, "It just so happens that I am here to try some new dishes as well."
When Jiang Fei saw Pei Jing, she understood what was going on and watched quietly as the two of them acted in unison.
I thought to myself, it would be fine if I didn't know who you are, but why would you come to a place like this and squeeze with so many people? It's a good thing you didn't just take the cook back to the palace.
Pei Jing got off the carriage and walked in front of Jiang Fei.
This meeting wasn't as awkward as that night, which shows that thick-skinned people are learned through practice.
Wen Zhu immediately took two steps back, "I've been having a stomachache for a long time. It's great that Your Majesty has come. I need to go to the bathroom."
Jiang Fei watched Wen Zhu slip away faster than a rabbit and shook her head helplessly, "You arranged this play really..."
Pei Jing was slightly embarrassed. "Perfect?"
“Full of loopholes!”
Pei Jing was about to retort, but then he suddenly thought of something and curled the corners of his lips.
She knew it was a play and she cooperated with me, which shows that Xiao Cui doesn't completely forget about me.
The two walked side by side towards the restaurant, the distance between them was very close, and the purse on Pei Jing's waist swayed as he walked, rubbing against Jiang Fei's sleeve from time to time.
The purse seemed to be untied and fell to the ground with a "click" as he walked.
Jiang Fei stopped immediately and was about to call him, but her eyes lit up when her sight fell on the purse on the ground. Before Pei Jing turned around, she stretched out her leg and stepped on the purse.
Pei Jing turned around and frowned at her legs stretched out, "Why don't you leave?"
The next step would be for her to pick up the purse and return it to him, and then he would take her out for dinner to express his gratitude and enhance their relationship.
"You go first." Jiang Fei waved the back of her hand outward, "My shoelaces are undone."
"shoelace?"
"Don't worry about it." Jiang Fei was angry, "Just leave!"
Wen Zhu and Duan Jiu hid in the corner of the street, watching the prince walk forward helplessly. Then Miss Jiang Er quickly squatted down, picked up the purse and stuffed it into her sleeve, her movements smooth and flowing.
Duan Jiu, Wen Zhu, and Pei Jing who secretly glanced back: "..."
"It's really an unconventional approach." Duan Jiu sighed.
Wen Zhu: "Otherwise, how can they be said to be a perfect match?"
The system said in Jiang Fei's mind: "Aren't you a five-good youth of the 21st century? A five-good youth will definitely return lost property."
"I'm the villainous female supporting character here," Jiang Fei said. "Besides, what's his is mine. If the drugging had worked that day, I could have confiscated Pei Jing's private money with a clear conscience. My arm is still a little sore from it, so it's not too much to charge him a little for the labor, right?"
Jiang Fei weighed the purse in his sleeve. It looked like there was quite a lot of silver in it, no wonder it made such a loud noise when it fell to the ground.
Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Duan Jiu for help. Things were no longer going his way, so how could he attack?
Duan Jiu didn't expect such a result. He spread his hands and said he was powerless.
"What are you standing there for?" Jiang Fei patted Pei Jing's shoulder. "Are you not going to eat? I'll treat you today."
She added in her heart, it's your money anyway.
Pei Jing was stunned. This was a surprising turn of events. Wouldn't it be the same if he invited her to dinner and she invited him to dinner? Any one of these 108 moves was so advanced.
At this moment, a carriage at the intersection lowered its curtain.
Wei Mingzhen clenched his hands on his knees into fists, his knuckles turning white.
The carriage drove forward and entered another restaurant. In the evening, Wei Mingzhen was helped out drunk and put into the carriage.
Jiang Rulin waited at the door of the marquis's mansion for a long time before Wei Mingzhen came back.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jiang Rulin stepped forward quickly, but before her fingertips touched Wei Mingzhen's sleeve, he moved aside.
This action made Jiang Rulin's heart tighten.
She knew that he didn't like her. Ever since the smile on his face froze and his eyes turned cold when she lifted the veil, Wei Mingzhen had never hidden the coldness in his eyes.
But she always thought, as husband and wife, how could there be a knot that could not be untied? As time went by, he would eventually realize that he was a hundred times better than Jiang Rufei.
Just like the old tree in the yard, it is bare now, but after the cold winter and the spring, after a few rains, won’t it still be able to sprout new green leaves?
"I got home late today. I asked the kitchen to warm up the hangover soup."
The servant supported Wei Mingzhen as he walked inside, and Jiang Rulin followed behind and spoke softly.
Wei Mingzhen didn't answer, but staggered through the hanging flower gate. Wei Ciying came quickly with her maid.
"Why did Third Brother become so drunk?"
Wei Ciying frowned and stepped forward to support him, then walked into the yard and towards the main house.
Wei Mingzhen waved his hand, his voice unclear, "I'm going to sleep in the study..."
Several people had to help him into the study. The study was large enough, with an inner room separated by a screen. Wei Mingzhen had been resting on the low couch inside these days.
Wei Ciying knew what was going on at a glance.
There are always deviations in the process, but the result is always the same as in the previous life. Jiang Rulin still married into the Marquis's Mansion, and Wei Mingzhen still ignored Jiang Rulin.
Wei Ciying felt vaguely uneasy. If this was true, then she...
No, it's impossible.
But Jiang Linyuan is still alive, which is a sword hanging over her head. Only when this person completely disappears from the world can she completely escape the fate of her previous life.
But the palace was heavily guarded, and she sent people there several times but all returned empty-handed.
Wei Ciying bit her lip, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, and turned to Jiang Rulin and said, "Third sister-in-law, go and rest first. I'll take care of you here."
Jiang Rulin clutched her handkerchief tightly and whispered, "Let me do it. This is my job..."
Wei Ciying wanted to refuse, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, causing her to change her mind temporarily. "It would be nice to have my sister-in-law to lend a hand."
The maid brought the sobering soup and Jiang Rulin handed it to Wei Mingzhen. Wei Mingzhen took a look at it and took it.
Wei Ciying said: "I know you are upset. I heard that Jiang Rufei has returned to the Jiang family."
Wei Mingzhen drank the sobering soup with his head tilted back, then slammed the bowl down on the table, startling everyone in the room.
Wei Mingzhen raised his head and looked at Wei Ciying. Although drunkenness had not yet subsided, his eyes were clear. "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say cherish the one in front of you." Wei Ciying said: "What's the point of you being like this all the time? Will she come to see you after you drink? Will she feel bad?"
"Yes, she wouldn't." Wei Mingzhen lowered his head and smiled, "She's probably having dinner with Pei Jing right now."
