Chapter 6 Jianghu Passerby, See You Again
Jiang Fei looked in the direction he pointed.
A man was sitting in the pavilion with a relaxed posture, holding a teacup in his slender fingers. The sunlight shone on him through the eaves of the pavilion, making him look as delicate as a fine brush painting.
"That's Pei Jing." Jiang Fei murmured.
"Zhaoning King Pei Jing." Pei Jing lowered his body and whispered in her ear with a hint of amusement, "He's a murderer without mercy, and he doesn't even recognize his relatives. Why is Xiao Cui interested in him?"
Jiang Fei was too lazy to correct his address and stared at the other side without blinking.
The book says that Pei Jing is both good and evil, and that he hides madness behind a beautiful face. In other words, he looks very serious on the surface, but you can't tell that he is actually a madman.
Jiang Fei felt that the writing was quite vivid, and the man clearly looked very upright.
Jiang Fei sighed subconsciously: "It's exactly the same as what is written in the book."
"What book?" Pei Jing didn't hear her clearly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in the pavilion seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look over here.
Those ink-black eyes met Jiang Fei's gaze across the shimmering lake, and then he frowned slightly.
Jiang Fei's whole body stiffened, as if she was a prey targeted by a poisonous snake. She subconsciously hid behind the flowers.
"Are you scared?" Pei Jing looked at her with a half-smile.
Jiang Fei was worried, but she said stubbornly, "I just think he doesn't look easy to mess with."
Once you put yourself in the shoes of Fengpi, every normal movement and look of the other party becomes particularly creepy, as if he will chop off someone's head from a thousand miles away in the next second.
Jiang Fei even felt that the gaze from "Pei Jing" on the other side was like a knife.
Pei Jing chuckled softly, "Since you know he's not easy to mess with, stay away from him from now on. It's best not to talk to him. He... likes to kill people with a smile."
Jiang Fei nodded, then shook her head wildly in her heart.
She has to fight against this, and she has to strive for the grass on the grave to grow three feet in three years.
When he poked his head out from the flowers again, he could no longer see Pei Jing in the pavilion opposite, and there was no sound behind him.
Jiang Fei turned around and saw no one behind her. She didn't even notice when the man left her.
Only then did Jiang Fei feel the heat. It was such a strong sun and she was still wrapped in a cloak. She was lucky that she didn't get heatstroke.
This "Wei Mingzhen" is obviously a bit sinister. He wrapped her in a cloak in such hot weather, as if he was afraid that she would die of heat.
She quickly took off her cloak and threw it on the stone beside her, fanning herself with her hands. Suddenly, footsteps were heard not far away.
Jiang Fei thought it was "Wei Mingzhen" who had returned, so she stuck her head out and was about to ask a question, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she almost hit her tongue.
A handsome gentleman was walking on the gravel path. Who was this "Pei Jing" whom he had just pointed out to her?
Jiang Fei's legs went weak. She had a natural fear of crazy people, and instinctively held on to the stone and retreated behind the flowers.
She wanted to provoke Pei Jing, but not now. She had not yet married into the Wei family and had not yet started to harm the heroine. She could not die at Pei Jing's hands now.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally, they stopped right beside the flowers.
Jiang Fei looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, thinking that if he didn't call me, then it would be fine. If Fengpi called me, she would say that it was not appropriate to see blood at the birthday banquet of the old lady in the Marquis's Mansion.
But in the original book, Pei Jing was a madman who dared to kill people even at a palace banquet. What was a mere birthday banquet for the old lady in the Marquis's Mansion?
Just as I was thinking about it, a gentle voice sounded beside the flowers, "What are you hiding there for? Come out."
How could Jiang Fei dare not disobey? She slowly moved out from behind the flowers, stood there with slumped shoulders and her hands hanging down.
Wei Mingzhen laughed when he saw her like this, "Are you afraid of me?"
Is it that obvious?
As soon as Jiang Fei raised her eyes, she saw the smile on his face.
That smile was like the spring in March, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. Jiang Fei immediately remembered what "Wei Mingzhen" had said to her before.
He said Pei Jing liked to kill people with a smile, and recalled the author's various descriptions of Pei Jing in the book.
Some people simply chopped off their hands, some were whipped to death... In short, the people who died in his hands died in all kinds of strange ways.
Jiang Fei couldn't help but shudder. She was too far away to see what he looked like, so she raised her head and glanced at him again. As a result, her gaze bumped into his.
She lowered her head quickly and said, "No."
Even though he was so scared, he still gritted his teeth and said no.
Wei Mingzhen frowned unconsciously when he thought of the rumors he had heard about Jiang Rufei. "If you're not afraid of me, then you're just guilty."
Jiang Fei felt as if what he said hit the nail on the head. She was indeed feeling guilty. Just now, she was telling others that he was a lunatic.
"Did I get it right?" Wei Mingzhen frowned even deeper at her expression. "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. You know best what you've done."
"I..." Jiang Fei said stubbornly, "What did I do?"
Wei Mingzhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He had heard from the maid that his future wife was not living a decent life and was having a secret relationship with Zhao Xingbang, the son of the prime minister.
His mother asked him to meet her by the lake, but he didn't want to see her at all, so naturally he wouldn't go. He didn't expect that she and Pei Jing had become so close in such a short time, and they were even talking and laughing.
What he needs is a well-behaved wife, not a solid cuckold.
Thinking of this, Wei Mingzhen's eyes turned cold, "Quibbling!"
Jiang Fei's legs began to tremble.
She thought to herself, this madman is really crazy! He just glanced at her from across the river and then came straight at her, looking like he wanted to kill her.
She suddenly remembered a passage in the book that described Pei Jing, saying that the more afraid a person was of death, the more excited he became the more he begged for mercy, and the happier he became as he kept killing. He was truly a pervert.
So, if you want to save your life, you have to do the opposite.
At this moment, Jiang Fei seemed to see the light.
She suddenly straightened her back and mustered up the courage to say, "None of your business!"
She saw extreme shock in the other person's shrunken pupils. He put on an appearance of being fearless, but in fact, his hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking like a sieve.
"What did you say?" Wei Mingzhen couldn't believe it.
He had only heard that Jiang Rufei was all show and no knowledge, but he didn't expect that she would curse in front of him. How on earth did the Jiang family raise such a young lady?
"I'm telling you, my affairs have nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about what I say to you in my heart. If I don't say it out loud, just pretend you don't know. If you don't see anything, just pretend you're blind. Am I making myself clear enough? Hmm?"
Jiang Fei finished speaking quickly in one breath and said "Hmm?" to give herself courage.
Wei Mingzhen took two steps back in shock.
This means that no matter whether she cheats on others or not, as long as she doesn't do it in front of him, he should pretend that he doesn't know, right?
Being so self-righteous is simply shameless!
He raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Rufei, "You..."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Rufei raised her chin and said, "Don't I have a name? My name is Jiang..."
She thought about it and decided that she must not reveal her name, otherwise what if Pei Jing came back to settle the score with her?
"My name is Jiang Hulu Ren, see you again if we're lucky."
After saying that, Jiang Fei ran away, fearing that Pei Jing would react and grab her and not let her go.
Jiang Fei ran for a distance before she remembered that she had forgotten to take the cloak that "Wei Mingzhen" had given her. The thing looked quite expensive, and she couldn't afford to pay for it if she lost it.
She sneaked back and hid behind a tree and saw "Pei Jing" still sitting on the stone with her cloak next to him.
I can't just run over and say: Hey, crazy guy, where is my cape?
