Chapter 206 Don’t Think About Her
“Hmm!”
Wei Mingzhen was caught off guard and was kicked out like a kite with a broken string, hitting the tree trunk heavily.
He slid down to the ground, holding his chest. A fishy-sweet taste suddenly surged in his throat, and blood flowed from the corners of his lips.
The clerks and officials not far away were stunned, and the clerk who had been hiding under the eaves just now was so scared that his face turned pale.
If someone dies, Marquis Dingyuan will only settle the score with King Zhaoning, but he is afraid that his anger will be vented on those who did not help.
An old official who was distantly related to the Wei family couldn't help but take a half step forward and plead, "Your Highness, please calm down."
Pei Jing ignored him and slowly walked towards Wei Mingzhen who was lying limp on the ground. Then he turned his head and glanced coldly at the group of officials.
"Before we left, my wife warned us not to endanger anyone." He paused, his gaze returning to Wei Mingzhen, "So you can rest assured, he won't die."
Pei Jing looked down at Wei Mingzhen, "Who do you think you are? The third son of the Wei family, are you worthy of thinking about her?"
Wei Mingzhen coughed up blood and looked up at Pei Jing. "Pei Jing, although you are a prince, you treat human life as worthless. My ancestors fought bravely with Emperor Taizu to build the country, which is why we have the Dingyuan Marquisate today. My Wei family... cough cough, has been loyal and righteous for generations. What right do you have to humiliate me like this?"
"Why don't you know?" Pei Jing sneered, squatted down, grabbed his collar, forced him to look up at him, and said word by word: "Why, you, bitch!"
Wei Mingzhen was shocked by these three words. "What did you say?"
Pei Jing pressed his fingertips hard, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm telling you, Wei Mingzhen, you're nothing but a worthless bastard."
He leaned closer, with undisguised contempt, "Sometimes you don't cherish things until you lose them, and then you start to miss them. If that's not cheap, what is it?"
Wei Mingzhen was pinched so hard that he couldn't breathe, but he laughed instead. "Speaking of cheap, weren't you the one who coveted someone else's things first? She was originally my fiancée! It was you, you who got in the way and snatched her away, and now you're blaming me for coveting her?"
The coldness in Pei Jing's eyes became even stronger. He stared at Wei Mingzhen's face which was twisted with anger, threw off his collar in disgust, and looked down at him condescendingly.
He laughed as if he had heard a ridiculous joke, "If you really cared about her, why didn't you confirm the wedding date? What did you do when you realized she wasn't the right person? If you had been even slightly more determined, even if you had stood up and said, 'I only want her,' how could I be in trouble today?"
Pei Jing's voice grew colder with each word. "It was you who hesitated, who weighed the pros and cons, and treated her as a disposable object. Now that she's here with me, what are you talking about?"
Wei Mingzhen was speechless.
Pei Jing's eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent. "Not only will I take action today, but I'll also tell you that if you ever dare to look at her with those dirty eyes again, or if you ever have any inappropriate thoughts, I'll tear down your Dingyuan Marquis Mansion."
Pei Jing took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his fingers, then threw the handkerchief on Wei Mingzhen's face.
He walked a little further, then stopped and looked back at Wei Mingzhen, "That's right."
"You talk about conquering the country and gaining fame. The merits of our ancestors can protect your family's wealth and prosperity, but they can't protect you from your inappropriate thoughts. I'm telling you today, not to mention that your Wei family followed our great ancestor to conquer the country, even if he were to be resurrected, he couldn't protect you from having such thoughts about her."
Wei Mingzhen's throat was choked by these words.
He suddenly realized that Pei Jing was a madman. In the eyes of a madman, the so-called family background, merits, rules and etiquette were all pieces of waste paper.
This man is extremely protective of his people. Whenever Jiang Rufei is touched, he becomes nakedly violent.
Pei Jing brushed off his sleeves, not looking at the person on the ground anymore. He just raised his chin towards Duan Jiu in the distance and said, "Let's go buy some crabapple pastry."
…
It was almost noon when we returned to the palace. Jiang Fei had already woken up and was leaning on the couch, flipping through a book boredly.
The sunlight filtered through the window sill and fell on her hair, warm as a layer of gauze.
Pei Jing looked at the scene, his heart softening. He walked over and looked down, "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Fei moved the book closer, "It's not as good-looking as the one you tore up."
I was reading a storybook, and I don’t know where it came from.
Pei Jing's face suddenly froze. He reached out and snatched the book from Jiang Fei's hand and put it aside. "Don't read that kind of book anymore."
He turned sideways and opened the oil paper package, trying to change the subject, "Here, try this."
Jiang Fei glanced at the notebook he had thrown away, stopped arguing with him, and reached out to pick up a piece of crabapple pastry.
The puff pastry melts in your mouth, and the sweet fragrance mixed with a hint of fruity acid spreads.
She chewed slowly, secretly looking up at Pei Jing, and said casually, "Did you beat Wei Mingzhen?"
There was a floor heating in the room, which made it a bit hot for Pei Jing.
Pei Jing was unbuttoning his cloak when he heard this. He turned around with no expression on his face and said, "Hmm."
His tone was light, and he obviously didn't want to mention that person anymore.
Jiang Fei took another bite of the Begonia Pastry and said vaguely, "What a pity."
Pei Jing's face darkened. "Do you feel sorry for him?"
Jiang Fei raised her eyes, with some crispy crumbs still on the corner of her mouth, "It's a pity I didn't see it."
Pei Jing's tense jawline softened instantly, replaced by complete indulgence.
He even curled his lips, "How difficult is that? If you want to see it, I'll take you there tomorrow and show you how to beat it again."
Duan Jiu had just stepped into the room when he almost staggered when he heard the words.
My goodness, this is not something you can use to fool people. It's totally unreasonable. How can you think beating people is fun?
Duan Jiu sighed in his heart, fortunately the prince was not the emperor, otherwise he would definitely be a tyrant. In ancient times, King You of Zhou played with the princes by setting fire to the beacon towers, and now King Zhaoning was waving his fist to make his wife laugh.
You can't play it like this.
Pei Jing reached out and brushed the crumbs off her cheek, saying, "When do you want to see it?"
Jiang Fei just said it casually, but she didn't expect Pei Jing to take it seriously. Wei Mingzhen probably didn't expect Pei Jing to treat him as a circus, right?
"Uh..." She swallowed half a mouthful of dessert and evaded the question, "Let's talk about it later."
"Okay." Pei Jing smiled and said seriously, "Then tell me when you want to see it."
…
Wei Mingzhen was kicked in the government office and lost all face. He was immediately sent back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
The servants were so panicked that they hurried to call the palace doctor.
When the Marquis's wife heard the news, she rushed over and found Wei Mingzhen lying down. The chest of his official uniform was covered with dried blood.
The Marquis' wife burst into tears immediately, "My son, you have suffered so much..."
The court physician hurried in with a medicine box. Seeing this, he did not dare to delay and hurried forward to take Wei Mingzhen's pulse. He held his wrist for a while and then lifted up Wei Mingzhen's clothes to check the wound.
There was a patch of blue and purple skin on the chest, and you could vaguely see a shoe print. It was obvious that the kick was extremely powerful.
The Marquis's wife burst into tears as she watched, "Pei Jing is too lawless! He's a prince, can he just do such a cruel thing to the son of a noble family? Don't worry, son, I'm going to the palace to file a complaint. I don't believe there's no place to seek justice!"
