Chapter 191 She took the initiative
Wei Ciying's expression changed. "What did you say?"
"I say...we are all pitiful people, there is no need for anyone to laugh at anyone else."
Wei Mingzhen stood up drunkenly and staggered towards the inner room. "You are thinking about Pei Jing, and I am thinking about Jiang Rufei. We are both pitiful siblings..."
"Third brother!" Wei Ciying interrupted sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Ruolin stood aside, the handkerchief in her hand was tangled and deformed. Wei Mingzhen seemed to have just remembered that there was someone in the room, and turned around to give her a sad smile.
"I'm sorry, you're late." After saying that, he went straight into the inner room.
Wei Ciying took a deep breath, turned around and forced a smile at Jiang Rulin, "Third brother has drunk too much, sister-in-law, don't take it to heart."
Jiang Rulin nodded, "I understand."
Of course she understood that it was Wei Ciying who brought up the topic and deliberately rubbed salt into her wounds. How could she not see that?
Wei Ciying added, "We are all pitiful people, all ruined by the same person."
…
It was dusk when Pei Jing sent Jiang Fei to the back door of Jiang's house.
Jiang Fei didn't save money today. She spent most of Pei Jing's bag of silver, leaving only a few copper coins.
"It's getting late, you should go in." Pei Jing said seriously.
Jiang Fei had never been in love in modern times, but today she finally felt the feeling of love.
"I'm already here, you can go now."
Pei Jing hummed, and just as he was about to leave, he felt his sleeve tighten.
The lanterns under the porch cast a warm yellow halo on Jiang Fei's face, and her eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her face.
Pei Jing's mind suddenly moved, and he wanted to just grab the man and torture him severely, but his willpower kept him in place.
Jiang Fei pulled his sleeve down, and Pei Jing lowered his head, "What..."
The next moment, a kiss was placed on the cheek.
Jiang Fei's lips touched and left immediately. Pei Jing stood there in a daze, and the tips of his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Let's go." Jiang Fei pushed him twice on the back embarrassedly.
The two of them had obviously done more intimate things before, but this kiss made Pei Jing's heart beat faster than any other intimate thing. He even forgot to breathe and only felt that the small piece of skin that was kissed was burning.
He walked towards the carriage with his hands and feet together, and stumbled when getting on the carriage, almost stepping on air, which made Jiang Fei burst out laughing.
"Fool."
Pei Jing was still in a daze. When he turned around, he was met with that smile, and he felt his mind become even more dazed.
"Then... then I will leave."
"Let's go."
Pei Jing got on the carriage and lifted the curtain, "I will watch you enter."
Jiang Fei smiled, turned around and ran towards the door.
Pei Jing was stunned for a long time, until Jiang Fei's figure disappeared through the door, then he woke up as if from a dream, "Let's go."
The carriage slowly drove away. Pei Jing was still immersed in the kiss just now. He subconsciously touched the place where he was kissed. It took him a long time to recover from the shock.
Duan Jiu followed on horseback, and after walking a long way, he saw the prince still leaning against the window, so he tentatively called out:
"Your Majesty?"
Pei Jing suddenly smiled, "This trick really works. Although the process is wrong, the result is the same. She seems to have been moved by me."
He raised his head slightly, his tone slightly proud, "She just kissed me, did you see that?"
After saying this, he emphasized it again and said, "She took the initiative."
Duan Jiuxin said, "I'm standing right next to you, how could I not see you?" He didn't even have time to hide.
But should I answer that I saw it or that I didn’t see it?
"Then...did this subordinate see it? Or didn't he?"
Pei Jing frowned. "You must have seen her smile at me when I got on the carriage, right?"
Duan Jiuxin said that I also wanted to laugh at that time, but I didn’t dare.
"I did see it."
"So what do you think?"
"I feel that Miss Jiang thinks highly of the prince. All the expenses today were paid by her." After Duan Jiu said this, he saw that the prince's shoulders obviously relaxed a little.
Pei Jing nodded. It seemed that he was not overthinking this time. His feeling was not wrong.
If I had known this earlier, I would have put more money in my purse today. He was so frugal with his meal that he was only allowed to order three dishes.
"You can send her some more banknotes later," Pei Jing thought, then said, "Never mind, you should prepare ten more money bags for me."
Duan Jiu agreed, "Then what is the prince going to do next?"
Pei Jing said, "She took the initiative to kiss me with just one move. I'm sure if I use all 108 moves, she will definitely be completely devoted to me."
"Don't..." Duan Jiu blurted out subconsciously.
Before you finish using these 108 moves, Miss Jiang Er will think you are sick.
This way of chasing people made him, a bystander, so embarrassed that he was picking his feet, let alone Miss Jiang Er...
Pei Jing turned his head, "What else?"
"What I mean is..." Duan Jiu struggled to think of a response, "If I use all of this, wouldn't it be too harsh?"
Pei Jing thought for a moment, "You're right. It's not good to be too devoted. If I die before her one day, she will be heartbroken. As long as she has me in her heart, it's enough. There's no need to pretend too much."
…
The weather is getting cooler and the wind is chilly at night.
Jiu Tao went in first to make the bed, and came out to tell Jiang Fei: "The young master fell asleep on the young lady's bed."
When Jiang Fei went in, she saw Jiang Chenglang lying on her bed with his arms and legs spread out, snoring soundly.
"He must be here to wait for the young lady and is getting sleepy from waiting." Jiutao said.
Jiang Fei pinched Jiang Chenglang's face and squeezed his mouth into a round shape, but he didn't wake up.
"Let me take him back."
Jiang Fei didn't say anything, but sat down beside the bed. As she watched, the smile on her face faded.
"Are you feeling soft-hearted?" the system said in her mind.
Jiang Fei pulled up the quilt to cover Jiang Chenglang. "He is still so young, and he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong."
The system said, "Why are you worrying about this? You forgot that they are all NPCs. This is his fate in the story."
"But they are living people in front of me." Jiang Fei touched Jiang Chenglang's forehead. "Look, I can touch him. He is warm, just like everyone I meet in modern times."
"Didn't you say you were the evil female supporting character?"
Jiang Fei sighed, "I have to think of a way."
System: "What method?"
Jiang Fei looked at Jiang Chenglang's chubby face, and a bold idea formed in her mind. "The book mentioned that the Jiang family was wiped out, but it didn't mention who the specific people were. So what if he was no longer a member of the Jiang family before the massacre?"
"Tell me, if I give this child to someone else for adoption, can I change his fate?"
The system was silent for a moment: "Theoretically, it's possible, but who are you going to find to adopt him?"
Jiang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Pei Jing, there's no need to adopt him as a son. Just give him a place to stay. If one day I'm gone..."
If she leaves one day, she can leave someone by Pei Jing's side so that he won't be too lonely.
"You think that if you can't stay, Jiang Chenglang might be able to restrain him and prevent him from going crazy?" said the system.
"Jiang Chenglang alone is naturally not enough." Jiang Fei said: "I have other arrangements, but that is the worst-case scenario, I hope it will not be used."
"It's difficult to get the Jiang family to agree to adopt me."
Jiang Fei said: "I have another way."
The system then asked, "Do you have any plans for Wei Ciying?"
"I have a plan, but I'm not sure if it will succeed. Let's give it a try."
It was late at night and everything was quiet. Before turning off the lights, Jiang Fei opened the notebook, wrote a line of words, and then carefully put it away.
