Chapter 84 A fickle man
It was just dawn when the group arrived at the gate of Jiang's house, but no one came to greet them.
There was a little fat boy sitting on the doorstep, running down with a thud, "Jiang Rufei, you wild girl, you still remember to come back?"
Jiang Fei didn't know who this little fat boy learned this from. "You have no respect for your elders. Believe it or not, I will beat you up. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"I've been waiting for you." Jiang Chenglang was about to cry, "I heard you were kidnapped."
Jiang Fei's heart softened.
When she entered the city gate, there was a large group of people waiting for Wei Ciying at the city gate, and someone at home was worried about her. She was actually quite envious.
In contrast, she has always been an orphan, and no one has ever been waiting for her to go home. Even after traveling here, what is waiting for her is still the lonely lamp in front of the door, and there are people at home who wish she would never come back.
Fortunately, there is such a little fat boy, who finally makes her feel a sense of belonging to home.
"Okay, I'm fine, but don't cry. I'm tired and don't have the energy to beat you up today."
Jiang Fei held onto the saddle and prepared to get off, but the horse's back was too high and her feet couldn't reach the ground.
Pei Jing snorted, dismounted, strode over, and took the man down without saying a word.
Jiang Fei originally wanted to thank him, but then she remembered that she had to show some appreciation for the 25 points of favorability, so she glanced at him and said, "Humph, you have good judgment."
Pei Jing and Duan Jiu exchanged a glance, both of them saying the same thing: "See, you're being petty, aren't you?"
Jiang Fei patted Jiang Chenglang's head lightly, "Why didn't you call for help?"
"Oh." Jiang Chenglang raised his head and looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him.
I thought that this man should be the one my second sister would marry in the future, so I must build a good relationship with him. After all, as a dowry, I would have to live with him day and night.
So Jiang Chenglang said obediently: "Second brother-in-law."
Jiang Fei was just stepping onto the stairs when she heard the words and missed a step, almost falling flat on her face.
"What are you shouting about!" What if Pei Jing takes it seriously?
It was over, because she saw an expression of "I see" on Pei Jing's face.
Pei Jing gave Duan Jiu a look, meaning, you see, she just wants to marry me and wants to use a child to force me to submit, but I won't be fooled so easily.
He put his hands behind his back, walked up the stairs, and walked straight into the Jiang Mansion.
…
When Jiang Bingshi and Yao hurried to the front yard after receiving the news, Pei Jing was already sitting in the main hall.
Jiang Bingshi was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. Yao also knelt down quickly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
Pei Jing played with the teacup in his hand. "Someone is missing from home, yet you guys are sleeping soundly while letting me run around looking for him for you. You're quite brave."
Jiang Bingshi's forehead was covered in sweat, and he quickly explained: "Your Highness, I have sent people out to look for her, but I am old and can't hold on any longer..."
The teacup shattered in front of Jiang Bingshi with a "bang", scaring the two of them so much that they trembled.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Pei Jing glanced coldly at the kneeling Jiang couple, "I'm curious, if it was your son who disappeared today, would you still be able to sleep so peacefully?"
Jiang Bingshi said, "Your Highness, we are all looking for them."
Pei Jing snorted softly, "Jiang Rufei, you're not my biological child, are you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Bingshi's face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak. Yao was so scared that she collapsed to the ground, not even daring to raise her head.
Jiang Fei captured all of this keenly.
Could it be that the original owner Jiang Rufei is not really her biological daughter?
But the author didn't write about it at all in the book, and left so many holes unfilled. The book has millions of words, and maybe the author himself forgot about it while writing.
"She's my biological daughter," Yao said hurriedly. "She was born after ten months of pregnancy. However, she was raised on the farm when she was little. She had a bad temper and disrespected her elders, so she wasn't close to anyone at home."
For some reason, Pei Jing felt inexplicably angry after hearing those words. He raised one hand and was about to slam the table when he suddenly met Jiang Fei's eyes.
This girl is already ready to commit herself to him. If he supports her now, won't she be completely devoted to him? Then, wouldn't it be impossible to get rid of her?
Pei Jing swung his sleeves and said, "What are you doing standing there? Don't you know where to sit with your long legs?"
"Oh." Jiang Fei was still wondering who the original owner was. When he suddenly heard this, he found a chair and sat down.
Pei Jing saw her absent-minded look and frowned even more tightly. "What? Can't you hear me?"
Jiang Fei finally came back to her senses and blinked, "Didn't Your Majesty just tell me to sit down? I am sitting down now."
"You!" Pei Jing choked with anger and turned to Jiang Bingshi, saying, "Your daughter is so disrespectful to her elders. It seems she really needs to be disciplined."
Jiang Bingshi nodded repeatedly, but then Pei Jing changed the subject, "But since you can't teach me well, from today on, I will take over personally."
Jiang Fei's eyes widened, "What?!"
Yao gnashed her teeth in hatred. She, the mistress of the house, was still kneeling here, and Jiang Rufei, a stinky beggar, dared to sit on the chair so openly.
"My Lord, I'm afraid this is against the rules."
"Rules?" Pei Jing sneered, "My words are the rules. I will send a capable person from the palace to teach her the rules, so that she won't yell at me all the time."
Jiang Fei wanted to scold but stopped herself. She hadn't yelled much, had she? How did it become a daily thing? It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something.
I wonder if this guy will send her a character like Rong Mama to torture her.
Pei Jing's hand holding the teacup fell empty, and then he remembered that he had dropped the teacup. "It's already dawn, and you can't even have a hot meal? Is this how you, the Jiang family, treat your guests?"
Jiang Bingshi's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will order someone to prepare breakfast right away."
Pei Jing then looked at Jiang Fei and said, "I saved you, so it's worth it for you to cook a meal for me, right?"
"Okay." Jiang Fei agreed immediately.
She really owed Pei Jing a debt, so cooking a meal for him wasn't too much. She could just add a little more salt to lower his favorability.
Pei Jing raised the corner of his lips slightly and glanced at her hands. "Forget it. By the time you're done, I might be starving to death."
A fickle man!
