Chapter 85 Apologies Are Useless
By the time the meal was served, it was already dawn.
The temperature began to rise, and Jiang Bingshi did not dare to delay. He put ice in the room, which made it cooler.
Jiang Fei was already extremely hungry, and she wolfed down the food as soon as she sat at the table. She could pretend to be a lady from a wealthy family, but Pei Jing was not her target, so there was no need for her to pretend in front of him.
Looking at her eating, Pei Jing wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks.
"Are you feeding the pigs?"
Jiang Fei picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his bowl. With her mouth full, she mumbled, "Your Highness, please enjoy."
Fortunately, she was sensible and knew how to take care of him as a guest.
Pei Jing picked up the braised pork and was about to take a bite when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Fei's smiling eyes out of the corner of his eye. His chopsticks suddenly paused as he suddenly realized what was happening.
"How dare you call me..."
"When did I curse?" Jiang Fei looked innocent.
Pei Jing gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and ate the braised pork.
Jiang Fei devoured the food in no time and was full, but Pei Jing hadn't even touched his chopsticks yet. He simply rested his cheek on his hand and watched him eat.
The man sat upright like a pine tree, his back straight, and his chopstick holding posture was elegant and proper. Every time he picked up a piece of soup, he would first gently lean it against the edge of the bowl to drain off the excess soup before slowly putting it into his mouth.
Jiang Fei couldn't help but complain in her heart: This man even eats like he's discussing matters in the court, so methodical, isn't he tired?
"What are you looking at?" Pei Jing chewed slowly without even raising his eyelids.
"It depends on when you finish eating." Jiang Fei said, "I'm sleepy."
Pei Jing paused with his chopsticks in his hand and looked up at her, "Is this how you thank me? You won't even let me have a meal?"
Jiang Fei held up her chin and said, "I didn't rush you. You were the one who asked me what I was reading. Take your time eating and take as long as you want."
She was bored and drawing circles on the table with her tea, when she suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness, Wei Ciying..."
"Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping," Pei Jing interrupted. "Have you learned all the Jiang family's rules?"
Jiang Fei curled her lips. "I haven't learned any rules. I have no manners. So why didn't you save Wei Ciying, and instead saved me?"
"She has someone to save her, but you, if I hadn't saved you, you would be in danger..."
He stopped talking and his eyes turned colder. "I'm not a fool. Can't we look for someone together? Looking for you won't delay looking for her. If we turn the capital upside down, who will be the first to be found?"
My thoughts suddenly opened up, it makes sense!
Jiang Fei thought to herself, no wonder he could become the second male lead in the book. He is indeed a tough guy, unlike Wei Mingzhen, who is so stubborn.
Jiang Fei supported his chin and thought for a moment, then murmured, "So the prince didn't come all the way to save me, he just happened to turn the capital upside down and turned me over first. Thinking about it this way, I don't feel so flattered anymore."
Pei Jing's eyes darkened when he heard this. "Jiang Rufei, can you say it again?"
"That's right." Jiang Fei curled her lips, "Your Highness didn't come all the way to save me, he just happened to..."
"By the way?" Pei Jing sneered, his grip on the chopsticks gradually increasing. "I brought my personal guards and turned the capital upside down, and you call that a coincidence?"
Jiang Fei blinked innocently, "Didn't the prince say that himself?"
"Shut up!" Pei Jing stood up suddenly. "Who do you think I am? A pushover who saves everyone he sees?"
Jiang Fei thought to himself, of course you are not, you are the living devil who kills everyone you see.
Pei Jing looked down at her condescendingly. She had only taken a few bites when she was already filled with anger. "It can't be...it can't be..."
Could it be that when I was looking for you, I happened to find Wei Ciying by the way?
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly choked. Pei Jing was almost so angry that he was buried on the spot. He turned around and strode out.
"Your Highness, please stay!" Jiang Fei subconsciously called out to him.
Pei Jing strode away without looking back, "There's no point in apologizing."
"No." Jiang Fei said a little embarrassedly: "You took our chopsticks."
Pei Jing lowered his head and realized that he was still holding two jade chopsticks in his hand. He raised his hand and wanted to smash them on the ground.
"Fragile, fragile," Jiang Fei hurried forward and spread out his hands, "Hehe, handle it with care."
Pei Jing was so angry that he slammed the two chopsticks into her hands, flicked his sleeves and turned away.
After walking out of the main hall, Duan Jiu, who had been listening to the whole process at the door, hurriedly followed.
After walking for a while, Duan Jiu couldn't help but say, "Um, Your Majesty."
"explain!"
Duan Jiu swallowed his saliva and said, "You and Miss Jiang Er have broken up, so are you still sending people to the Jiang Mansion to teach the rules?"
Pei Jing paused and angrily said, "Who told you we broke up? Breaking up is a childish thing to do. How could an adult break up so easily?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Duan Jiu said carefully, "But didn't the prince say that apologies are useless?"
"Speak..." Pei Jing: "Apologizing is useless, so there's no need to apologize! You don't even understand this principle. It's a shame that you've been working by my side for so long."
"Ah, yes, yes, I know I was wrong."
Pei Jing glanced at him and continued walking forward. "I am not a man who goes back on his word. If I say I will send someone, I will definitely send someone."
Duan Jiu suggested cautiously, "Why don't you ask Madam Cui to take the trouble to come over here?"
Pei Jing frowned slightly, "Madam Cui?"
Duan Jiu nodded and said, "Madame Cui is the strictest. She used to work in the palace, so she knows the rules best. She has disciplined many young ladies from aristocratic families. She can turn even the most lazy and undisciplined daughters around. She will definitely make Miss Jiang learn the rules well, and..."
"No need." Pei Jing interrupted him, "Madame Cui is old, and I'm afraid that girl will make me die of anger."
Duan Jiu was stunned. "Then, then please invite Madam Li? Madam Li has a gentler personality, and..."
"You are too gentle to control that unruly person." Pei Jing said lightly.
Duan Jiu was completely confused. This didn't work, and that didn't work either. "So what does the prince mean..."
"Call Wenzhu back." Pei Jing jumped on his horse. "Wenzhu is quite skilled and can control that girl."
Duan Jiuwu made a big statement. It is true that he can control himself, but the key is whether he dares to control himself?
You said you wanted to teach Miss Jiang the rules, but why did you send a secret guard with great martial arts skills?
"But, Wen Zhu..."
"Find someone to stay with her, so that if she gets lost again one day, I won't have to go looking for her," Pei Jing said, twisting the reins with one hand. "It's not that easy for me to marry her, so I'll just keep Wen Zhu by her side to observe her."
Duan Jiu was speechless.
As the person who knew the prince best in the world, he now found that he was completely confused and could only follow behind in silence.
After a moment, Pei Jing continued, "I think she's become arrogant because of her favor. How dare she say such words to me? How disrespectful."
"That……"
Pei Jing thought for a moment and said, "Let's give her the cold shoulder first."
Duan Jiu nodded, thinking to himself, who is being cold to whom? No one can tell.
Then Pei Jing said again: "Send someone to check on Wei Ciying."
