Chapter 82 Come and grab it if you can
Duan Jiu really wanted to know what the choice was, but he could only remain silent.
Pei Jing chuckled, stepped forward quickly, and jumped over the two men and climbed onto the horse.
Then he stretched out his hand, glanced casually, and then focused.
The person standing aside was Wei Ciying, and Jiang Fei was standing next to Duan Jiu and said, "I don't know how to ride a horse. Can you take me with you on the way back?"
Facing Pei Jing's sinister gaze, Duan Jiu felt a little dead.
He slowly took two steps back and said awkwardly, "I, I brought nine peaches when I came here."
Jiang Fei said "Ah", "Then assign someone to take care of me."
Duan Jiu didn't dare to do that. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "I think everyone has their own things to do. Um... have you buried the body? Bury it deep. It will stink easily in hot weather. And that guy..."
Seeing Jiang Fei standing there aggrieved, Pei Jing pulled the reins and walked over. "Who said I wanted to give you a ride? You're quite self-aware."
Jiang Fei raised her eyelids and glanced at him without saying a word.
She thought to herself that the heroine is already here, so you, the second male lead, should give her a ride. This is called being considerate, okay?
"Duanjiu!"
"I'm here." Duan Jiu responded quickly.
Pei Jing pointed with his whip, "Pack up that broken carriage and send them back."
Duan Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like he could live a little longer.
A moment later, Jiang Fei boarded the carriage that had taken her hostage, along with Wei Ciying and Jiutao.
It was late at night and everyone was exhausted.
Jiutao curled up and fell asleep, with one hand still pulling at the hem of Jiang Fei's skirt, as if she was afraid that she would be kidnapped again.
Jiang Fei leaned against the car wall with her eyes closed, while Wei Ciying hooked her arm and leaned on her shoulder.
"sister in law."
"Um?"
"Were you scared at that time?"
Jiang Fei opened her eyes. The curtains were half hung and the open window let in the cool night breeze. It should have been a very pleasant moment, but no one had the leisure time at the moment.
"Of course I'm afraid. What if I die there? Who knows what these desperate criminals might do?"
"I'm scared too." Wei Ciying leaned towards Jiang Fei and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of Prince Zhaoning?"
Jiang Fei lowered her eyes and was able to see Wei Ciying's profile. "He is not a bad person."
Wei Ciying had said the same thing to her last time.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ciying hummed softly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
Jiang Fei noticed her hesitation, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't expect him to come and save you." Wei Ciying chose her words carefully. "Didn't you say... that you two don't have much of a relationship?"
"Are you asking this for yourself or on behalf of your brother?"
Wei Ciying stood up straight, "Don't misunderstand, sister-in-law, I just don't want to see my brother being let down."
Jiang Fei smiled and said, "There's no question of betrayal between Wei Mingzhen and me. He's already told me that even though we're husband and wife, we don't talk about feelings."
"What?" Wei Ciying opened her eyes wide and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
"No."
Jiang Fei now just wants to finish the task quickly and go back to the era with mobile phones and the Internet. She has no time to talk about feelings.
Wei Ciying seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. "It's good that you don't have anyone you like. When you and my brother get married, maybe you'll slowly develop feelings for each other."
…
The carriage swayed all the way to the city gate, and it was almost dawn.
Wei Mingzhen received the news and was already waiting here.
As the team slowly drove into the city, he quickly stepped forward, helped Wei Ciying down from the carriage, and looked her over carefully.
"Ciying, are you okay?"
Wei Ciying's eyes were slightly red, "Third brother, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay." Wei Mingzhen breathed a sigh of relief and smoothed her hair. "Father and Mother must be terribly worried. They must have not eaten all night, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted and another person came out.
Wei Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, with an unnatural expression on his face.
Jiang Fei jumped off the carriage without waiting for Jiu Tao to help her and bowed slightly to him, "Third Young Master Wei."
Wei Mingzhen moved his lips, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Is everything okay?" Jiu Tao also jumped down and said, "If it weren't for the prince, something would have happened long ago."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Pei Jing. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but there was a hint of admiration in the prince's eyes when he looked at her.
Wei Mingzhen looked embarrassed. Wei Ciying gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Third brother, thanks to Prince Zhaoning's rescue, we were able to return safely this time."
Wei Mingzhen then turned to Pei Jing and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help."
Pei Jing sat upright on his horse, a meaningful smile on his lips, "You're welcome."
He looked at Jiang Fei and was about to speak when he heard Wei Ciying say again: "Sister-in-law has been quite frightened. Third brother, why don't you send her back and comfort her on the way."
Wei Mingzhen felt guilty for not being able to save Jiang Fei, so he nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Of course."
As he said this, he was about to step forward.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jing suddenly kicked his horse's belly and stood between the two of them.
He looked down at Wei Mingzhen and said playfully, "The people I saved should naturally be sent back by me personally."
Wei Mingzhen's face froze. "Your Highness, you're joking. Miss Jiang is my fiancée. I dare not trouble you."
"Fiancée?" Pei Jing sneered, "Since you knew she was your fiancée, why didn't you go and rescue her last night? If you were to send the person I saved back, you would be trying to take credit in front of your future father-in-law."
These words stung like a knife, and Wei Mingzhen's face turned pale and blue. "I didn't mean that."
Jiang Fei looked at the two men in front of her who were on the verge of a fight, and felt her heart throbbing.
"No is the best." Pei Jing looked at Jiang Fei, "Are you leaving or not?"
"Well, I have to leave, but..."
"Are you leaving or not?" Pei Jing interrupted her impatiently, tapping his palm lightly with the whip in his hand.
Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment.
If she left with Pei Jing, Wei Mingzhen would probably not think that they were having an affair, but if she continued to stick to Wei Mingzhen when he didn't come to save her, wouldn't it seem a bit cheap?
Thinking of this, Jiang Fei immediately had an idea, "I think Ciying is tired too. I guess you had a hard time looking for her last night. You don't have to send me off, so as to save -"
Pei Jing was too lazy to listen to her nagging, and suddenly leaned over and pulled Jiang Fei onto the horse.
"Ah--" Jiang Fei screamed, and before she could react, she was held firmly in front of him.
"Your Highness!" Wei Mingzhen's face suddenly changed and he stretched out his hand to stop him.
Pei Jing pulled the reins and looked down at Wei Mingzhen, his eyes full of provocation. "If you have the guts, you can come and rob me."
After saying this, he kicked the horse's belly and rode away.
