Chapter 241 There's a Ghost
It was obviously not the same outfit she was wearing when she left in the morning. This was a new piece of clothing that didn't even fit her well. She had never seen Duan Jiu wear it before.
Wen Zhu became even more suspicious, and moved closer, his nose almost touching Duan Jiu's collar, and sniffed carefully.
It's not the usual smell, but a strange smell with the scent of soapberry.
Duan Jiu subconsciously took a half step back, his face flushed, "What are you doing? You're not getting this close to a girl, even if I'm your brother."
Wen Zhu narrowed his eyes, looked him up and down, and said slowly, "You took a shower."
Duan Jiu was instantly panicked. The prince had instructed him not to let the young lady know. If he revealed the flaw, the prince would skin him alive.
"W-Why can't I take a shower? I like to be clean!"
The more nervous you are, the easier it is to reveal your true identity. Wen Zhu had a rough idea in mind, nodded, and turned away. "Okay, being clean is a good thing."
Looking at Wen Zhu's back, Duan Jiu pulled up his clothes and sniffed back and forth several times, fearing that the bloody smell was not completely removed when cleaning the bloodstains.
Today, outside the city, the prince couldn't hold back and chopped the doctor with a knife. The blood splattered all over Duan Jiu, forcing him to take a bath.
Jiang Fei and Pei Jing walked into the bedroom together.
"I'll go change my clothes." Pei Jing habitually went home to change his clothes first. He walked around the screen, took off his outer robe and hung it on the clothes hanger.
Just as she was about to take off her inner clothes, Jiang Fei walked around the screen, crossed her arms and asked, "You only want to change clothes, but not take a bath? You haven't taken a bath in two days, right?"
Pei Jing paused in his undressing, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes, "I'm just about to take a shower. I'll change first, then take a shower."
After saying that, he took some clean clothes and went to the bathroom.
Wen Zhu kept looking around, and when he saw the prince go to the bathroom, he crouched down and went into the bedroom, "Miss?"
Jiang Fei poked her head out from behind the screen, still holding the outer robe that Pei Jing had just changed, and she put it to her nose and sniffed it.
Wen Zhu hurriedly asked, "Miss, what did you smell?"
Jiang Fei put the outer robe back to its original place and said with a half-smile, "I can smell that he took a shower outside. After washing outside, he washed again after coming back. He is not afraid of washing off his skin."
Wen Zhu was frightened by that smile, and felt that the prince's good days were probably over.
As a secret guard, she has eaten the prince's rice for so many years, and the time has come to repay the favor.
Wen Zhu made up his mind and said righteously, "I have good news to tell you, young lady. Don't worry, the prince definitely doesn't have any women outside."
Jiang Fei raised her eyebrows, "How do you know?"
Wen Zhu said confidently, "Because Duan Jiu and the prince took a bath together!"
???
Jiang Fei was stunned. She could understand every word, but when they were put together, she couldn't quite make sense.
Duan Jiu, and Pei Jing... taking a bath together?
"Are you sure?"
"Of course." Wen Zhu said firmly, "Duan Jiu and I have confirmed this."
Jiang Fei sat down blankly, still unable to believe that Pei Jing and Duan Jiu were taking a bath together.
The scene flashed through her mind and was a bit eye-irritating.
Good news? It seems to be getting worse.
Seeing her like this, Wen Zhu was about to say a few more good words to the prince when Pei Jing's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Wen Zhu, what are you doing here?"
Wen Zhu was startled, and quickly turned around and put on a smile, "Nothing, I just came to see if the young lady has any instructions. Since there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Without waiting for Pei Jing to ask any more questions, he slipped away as fast as he could, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
Jiang Fei raised her eyes to look at Pei Jing, a bit of a daze still on her face, "You finished washing so quickly?"
Pei Jing walked up to her and raised his hand to tidy up her hair. "I forgot to kiss you just now."
He leaned over and pecked her lips gently, his movements soft and gentle, with a hint of comfort, "Wait for me to come back."
Jiang Fei had not yet fully recovered from the shock of Duan Jiu and Pei Jing taking a shower together. She waited until Pei Jing left before she suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.
Duan Jiu was standing under the eaves. When he saw Jiang Fei, he quickly bowed and said, "Miss."
Jiang Fei didn't respond, but looked at him intently, then walked over and passed by Duan Jiu.
The smell that wafted past my nose was exactly the same as the one on Pei Jing just now, and there was a voice wailing in my head.
It’s over, these two people actually took a shower together.
The system said, "Do you think it's because you're too weak and can't stand his torment, so he turned around and looked for a man who can stand it? People who practice martial arts are so fierce."
Jiang Fei's heartbeats were throbbing, she was speechless and choked with emotion. She wanted to pull the system out and beat it up.
"Host, why don't you say anything? Did I say it right?" The system continued to chatter: "If it really doesn't work, try it again."
Jiang Fei replied angrily, "How can we test him? We can't just tie him and Duan Jiu to the same bed and see if they will sleep in each other's arms, right?"
She stood there pondering for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she got it.
Not long after, Pei Jing came back from the bathroom. After the two of them had dinner, Jiang Fei sat on the couch by the window with a storybook in her hand.
Pei Jing finished his work and came over to sit down. He took Jiang Fei into his arms and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Idle book." Jiang Fei didn't even raise her head.
Pei Jing pressed his body against her back, holding her tight in his arms, and gently rubbed his cheek against her neck.
Jiang Fei felt an itch on the back of her neck from being rubbed by him, but she endured it and pretended to ignore him. She continued to turn the page with her fingers, pretending to be engrossed in reading.
Pei Jing nudged her for a long time, but when she didn't respond, he said in a muffled voice, "Are you unhappy?"
"No." Jiang Fei raised the book in her hand, "I'm not reading a book."
Seeing that she was really focused, Pei Jing stopped bothering her and just put his arm around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.
He glanced at the low table and saw a storybook there, so he picked it up.
Written in tender, small characters on the cover of the book: "A Rough Guard Falls in Love with a Sickly Young Master." This title...
Pei Jing's mouth twitched and he almost threw the book away.
But then he thought about the book he had read before and tore up, which said "The prince's waist was weak, and he was panting on the bed." He thought it was ridiculous and disgusting at the time, but when he turned around and tried it on Jiang Fei, the scene was even more alluring than the book.
So these books are not completely useless. As long as you replace the characters in the books with Jiang Fei and yourself, you will instantly feel the same.
Jiang Fei held the book, and her eyes kept falling on Pei Jing.
I remember that last time Pei Jing tore up all her books after reading them, and forbade her to read them again, saying that such books were disgusting to the eyes. But today, not only did he not throw them away, he was actually engrossed in reading them!
Pei Jing turned the page. The book said that a rough guard clumsily fed the sick young master soup and spilled it all over him. Pei Jing remembered that he once almost drank the soup sent by Wei Ciying. Jiang Fei directly knocked over the bowl and pinched his chin to make him rinse his mouth. She almost blew the roof off the house.
Thinking of this, Pei Jing's eyebrows curved.
The smile was very shallow, but it clearly caught Jiang Fei's eyes.
Jiang Fei felt a buzzing in her head and almost dropped the book in her hand.
Not only did he not reject it, he even watched it with great interest! Could it be that he...
"Bent." The system immediately gave the conclusion: "Bent into a mosquito coil."
