Chapter 36: Deep Love
"Your Highness..." Duan Jiu approached cautiously.
Pei Jing turned his head and glanced at Jiang Fei, his voice cold, "Send her to get treated."
"Miss Jiang." Duan Jiu whispered, "I'll take you inside to heal your wounds first."
Jiang Fei nodded and was supported by the monks and nuns as she walked into the nunnery. After walking a distance, she couldn't help but look back and her eyes met Pei Jing's.
Those eyes contained a fragility that had not yet been retracted, and the moment their eyes met, they turned into sharp blades and shot towards Jiang Fei's eyes.
Jiang Fei's heart skipped a beat and she turned back in a hurry.
Duan Jiu walked in front, and Jiang Fei couldn't help asking: "Your prince..."
Duan Jiu said without even turning his head, "I advise Miss Jiang not to ask about the prince's private affairs."
Jiang Fei stopped talking and silently recalled the scene in her mind.
Judging from Pei Jing’s reaction, it is obvious that Mr. Qinglian is a different person to him. The two are at least ten years apart in age. In the book, the person Pei Jing likes is Wei Ciying, so what kind of feelings does he have for this Mr. Qinglian?
Jiang Fei shook her head violently. What was she doing?
The person she needs to conquer now is Wei Mingzhen. She has to make him like her and marry her. Why waste time on other people?
Jiang Fei has been ill since she escaped from the mountains.
This time the illness came like a mountain, with a cold, fever and infection. The high fever took a whole day to go away.
During this period, the system was online once, and it even mocked Jiang Fei for being as hot as a kettle and saying that she might be burned into an idiot.
Fortunately, there were monks and nuns in the nunnery who were good at medicine. When the Jiang family sent people to pick her up and take her back home, they said that Jiang Fei was ill and should not travel, so she stayed in the nunnery to recuperate.
After lying in bed for three days, Jiang Fei was finally able to get out of bed.
On the fifth day, two more pilgrims came to Jinglian Temple and were led directly by the nun to the side yard where Jiang Fei lived.
Jiang Fei was taking medicine when Jiutao invited someone in.
Wei Ciying, wearing a lilac silk dress, entered Jiang Fei's room with a maid.
"sister in law."
Jiang Fei felt uncomfortable hearing this name at first, but she got used to it after hearing it many times.
"Why are you here at Jinglian Temple?"
Jiang Fei has been taking medicine recently, and there is only clear water in the pot on the table, which makes it difficult to entertain guests. Jiang Fei asked Jiutao to make tea, and Wei Ciying also sent the maid away.
"I went to the Jiang family to look for you. The people in the mansion said you were sick and recuperating in Jinglian Temple. I happened to have nothing to do, so I came here."
"Why have you lost so much weight?" Wei Ciying took her hand and looked at her bandaged arm. "What's wrong with your hand?"
"I went to the back mountain for a stroll and ran into a little wolf." Jiang Fei said.
Wei Ciying cried out, "A wolf?"
Jiang Fei nodded, "Fortunately, I happened to meet King Zhaoning and was rescued by him."
She had thought before that this matter could not be concealed. Instead of hiding it and arousing suspicion, it would be better to say it openly. As long as the people in the Marquis' Mansion had no objection, the rumors would naturally be refuted.
"Prince Zhaoning?" Wei Ciying seemed to be lost in thought. "I didn't expect he would have such a side to him."
Wei Ciying is the key figure who caused the conflict between her and Pei Jing and thus completed the direction of the plot.
Jiang Fei took the opportunity to inquire, "Are you acquainted with Prince Zhaoning?"
Wei Ciying shook her head. "No, we haven't met before. I've seen him from a distance a few times, but we've never spoken. My brother told me to have less contact with him."
Wei Ciying's expression didn't seem like she was lying, which was strange.
Didn't Pei Jing like Wei Ciying in the book? Why hadn't they spoken? Could it be that Pei Jing fell in love at first sight and secretly had a crush on her?
Seeing Jiang Fei was lost in thought, Wei Ciying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her. "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Fei came back to her senses, "Nothing, I was just a little distracted."
Wei Ciying jokingly said, "Are you angry with my brother because he didn't come to see you?"
Jiang Fei smiled awkwardly, "How could that be? The Third Young Master Wei has official business to attend to."
"He's not busy." Wei Ciying pointed outside, "Look who that is?"
Jiang Fei was shocked. No way? He really came?
She reached out and pushed open the window. The people standing in the courtyard turned around and nodded at her, "Second Miss Jiang."
Jiang Fei immediately put on a surprised expression, "Third Young Master Wei."
Seeing Jiang Fei's expression, Wei Mingzhen was stunned. Jiang Fei had already walked to the door and opened it, trying her best to look flattered.
After all, she had to try her best to correct the previous mistake and turn the negative favorability of several thousand into positive, so that Wei Mingzhen would marry her willingly, or at least make him think that she loved him deeply.
Jiang Fei thinks her acting skills are okay, but it is still a bit difficult to express the emotion of "creating love out of nothing".
"Mr. Wei San, please come in and sit down."
Wei Mingzhen put one hand behind his back and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
"Your sister is here too, so there's no inconvenience." After saying that, she stood at the door and looked at him expectantly.
Wei Mingzhen hesitated for a moment, then walked into the room and said, "Sorry to bother you."
Wei Ciying stood up and said, "I said I wanted to come see you, but my brother insisted on coming along. He must be using me as a shield. He actually wanted to come visit my sister-in-law."
Wei Mingzhen frowned and was about to retort, but Jiang Fei's face showed an ecstatic expression.
"Really? Did the Third Young Master Wei really come to see me?"
Jiang Fei was almost disgusted by her own exaggerated acting skills.
Of course she knew that Wei Mingzhen couldn't have come to see her. The plot of the book progressed to the point where Wei Mingzhen was about to get married. At this time, Wei Ciying and the male protagonist Jiang Linyuan had already known each other and fallen in love. The second half of the book was almost all about the two of them encountering all kinds of obstacles and going through twists and turns before they could be together.
The entire Dingyuan Marquis family opposed the two of them being together and kept a close eye on Wei Ciying. Wei Ciying used the excuse of going up the mountain to worship Buddha, and only then was she able to meet the male protagonist.
Wei Mingzhen must have been afraid that Wei Ciying would take the opportunity to meet Jiang Linyuan, so he insisted on following.
Wei Mingzhen moved his lips slightly, glanced at Wei Ciying out of the corner of his eye, and nodded heavily.
Jiang Fei laughed.
She knew that Wei Mingzhen didn't dare to say it directly, and this gave her the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"I knew it." Jiang Fei lowered her head shyly, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and masturbated silently to herself.
Wei Mingzhen frowned even more tightly and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.
Once a lie is told, it must be covered up with more lies. He seems to have made Jiang Rufei misunderstand that he has feelings for her. How should he reject her afterwards?
"Master Wei, this is Ciying." Jiang Fei said, "I've been feeling suffocated in my room for a few days, so why don't I take you for a walk? The scenery of Jinglian Temple is quite nice."
Before Wei Mingzhen could figure out how to refuse, Wei Ciying had already supported Jiang Fei's arm and said, "It's just right that sister-in-law takes us out to relax."
Jiang Fei took the two of them for a stroll nearby. Wei Mingzhen urged Wei Ciying to go home, but Wei Ciying insisted on staying in the nunnery. Wei Mingzhen had no choice but to stay on the mountain.
However, there were no dormitories for male pilgrims in Jinglian Temple, so they could only visit for a short period of time. The only option for accommodation was to go to the inn at the foot of the mountain, which was why Wei Ciying insisted on staying there.
Jiang Fei knew that evening might be the time when the hero and heroine in the book would meet.
