Chapter 98 Backstabbed
In order to avoid exposing herself, Jiang Fei tried hard to pull her chaotic thoughts back.
"You're right. Now I just have to wait patiently for the Third Young Master to come. September isn't far away."
Wei Ciying noticed the expectant look on her face, and the smile at the corner of her lips gradually spread to her eyes, as if she was also very much looking forward to the wedding date.
"Sister-in-law, have you received that pearl hairpin? It's made of the best pearls that my third brother spent a long time selecting in the warehouse. He even chose the pattern himself. It took him several days to make it."
Jiang Fei pretended to be surprised, "Really? But the Third Young Master said that he was beaten just two days ago."
Wei Ciying waved her round fan and said, "My third brother was lying to you."
"I see." Jiang Fei's eyebrows arched, "The Third Young Master is thoughtful."
Wei Ciying's heart finally settled down.
Even if Jiang Rufei were to live again and escape Zhao Xingbang, there would be no possibility for her to have any further relationship with Pei Jing. It was God's will that Jiang Rufei forget the past.
But when he thought about the last time Pei Jing went to save Jiang Rufei, Wei Ciying gritted his teeth in hatred that he let this woman escape.
"I went to the Zhaoning Prince's Mansion today," Wei Ciying said. "I heard that the prince was ill, so I went to visit him. The prince also saved my sister-in-law last time. Did you go to visit him?"
"I have heard about this," Jiang Fei naturally understood the implication in the words, and said calmly, "It's just that I'm already engaged to the Third Young Master, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to visit him, but..."
"What's wrong?" Wei Ciying immediately became alert.
Jiang Fei added: "Speaking of saving me, it was just a coincidence."
"happen?"
"Don't you know?" Jiang Fei said with a surprised expression, "The prince went to rescue you that day, saying that he would search the entire capital and not believe that he couldn't find you. As a result, the first person he found was me."
Wei Ciying was skeptical, "But he sent you back later."
Jiang Fei suddenly laughed, "That was all done for your brother to see. Although the prince is crazy, he sometimes has a strong sense of justice. He couldn't stand the fact that the Third Young Master didn't send anyone to rescue me, so he did that. Then the Third Young Master came to my house."
She didn't expect Wei Ciying to believe it immediately, but her attitude was already clear, which could somewhat dispel some of her doubts.
"By the way, Ciying."
"What?" Wei Ciying looked at her.
Jiang Fei said, "The prince saw that I was close to you, so he asked me about you. He asked about your childhood in Jiangnan. I just said I didn't know, but the prince was a little disappointed. Did you know the prince when you were young?"
Wei Ciying looked into those eyes. They were pure and clear, as if they really knew nothing.
Of course Jiang Fei knew nothing. If she knew, would she still need to gain 66 points of favorability to exchange for the hidden line?
"There are some overlaps." Wei Ciying said.
For some reason, Jiang Fei's heart suddenly started beating wildly, as if the truth hidden behind a layer of gauze was about to be revealed before her eyes.
Wei Ciying said, "But I don't remember either. I was sick when I was a child, and I can't remember many things clearly. I only remember that when I was in Jiangnan, it seemed that there was indeed such a person."
Jiang Fei was suspicious. "That's really a coincidence. We both forgot the past. It seems we are destined to be a family."
Soon, the maid sent Jiang Fei away. When she came back, Wei Ciying was looking at the embroidery pattern by the window.
"how?"
Zi Fu smiled and said, "Second Miss Jiang is so naive, she kept looking around and dawdling on the way, and even asked me several times when the Third Young Master would be back."
Wei Ciying raised her head and frowned. "She's easier to deal with than Jiang Rulin, but I think it's better to eliminate this trouble forever. It's a pity that she escaped last time, so I can only settle for the next best thing."
Zi Fu served tea, "It's all because of Zhao Xingbang's disappointment last time. The young lady even disappeared on purpose so that the Third Young Master wouldn't have time to worry about Jiang Rufei. If he had taken action earlier, he could have prevented future troubles and we wouldn't have so many worries now."
"Two idiots got together." Wei Ciying's brows relaxed a little. "But it's okay. At least Jiang Rufei is devoted to my third brother and can live an honest life with him. I will spare her life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."
"Don't worry, Miss. Her maid is also an idiot. She knows nothing and only knows how to eat. She ate four plates of snacks right after sitting down. I was choking just watching her."
…
Jiu Tao finally ate her fill at the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion. Rubbing her belly, she said, "Miss Wei's maid kept asking me questions until I got annoyed. Whenever I said I didn't know, she'd coax me into telling her with snacks."
"How much did you eat?" Jiang Fei asked.
Jiu Tao smiled and held up four fingers, "Four plates."
Jiang Fei was shocked. "Didn't you eat enough when you were in the palace?"
"I'm full, but I'm hungry again on the way."
This little girl's appetite was really terrifying when she was growing up.
Jiang Fei reviewed the conversation with Wei Ciying in her mind and suddenly realized a fact that she had always ignored.
Wei Ciying's attention to Pei Jing seemed to be far beyond the ordinary.
It seemed that the person who appeared most frequently in the conversations between her and Wei Ciying since they met was, besides Wei Mingzhen, Pei Jing.
Because the male and female protagonists in the book have been decided, she subconsciously thought that the person Wei Ciying likes is Jiang Linyuan. After all, this is the person Wei Ciying was willing to risk her life and even break up with her family to marry in the book.
In addition, when they were at Jinglian Temple, Wei Ciying also expressed to her that she and Jiang Linyuan were in love with each other, which made her even more convinced of this.
But Wei Ciying was reborn. People who are reborn will always have some unsatisfactory things. How could she follow the trajectory of her previous life completely?
This thought made Jiang Fei shiver all over, because she found that she seemed to have been stabbed in the back.
"system."
She shouted in her mind, but this time she didn't have to wait long, the system's voice immediately appeared in her mind.
"Host."
"So you're here."
The system said: "I only came online after you left Dingyuan Marquis Mansion."
"Who are you?" Jiang Fei suddenly asked.
System: "I am your system."
Jiang Fei's eyes turned cold, "If you continue to hide it from me, I will give up this mission."
"You will die if you abandon the mission."
"That's a year from now. At least I can drag you down with me."
This time, the system was silent for a long time before speaking: "I am indeed your system, but I have indeed concealed some facts."
"You already knew that Wei Ciying was reborn, right?" Jiang Fei speculated, "That's why you dragged me in to correct the plot."
"No," the system said, "I do know that a reborn person has infiltrated this world line, and will destroy the integrity of the entire world line, but I don't know who that person is."
Jiang Fei closed her eyes, "So... you are using me to find the reborn person?"
