Chapter 215 Don’t reward him!
Pei Jing glanced at her and said, "That domineering mind-capturing technique. As soon as I said 'where do you want to hide', she immediately stopped moving and cooperated perfectly. Could this be some kind of spell?"
When Wen Zhu heard this, his shoulders shook slightly, and he had to try very hard not to let his laughter leak out.
This is not a spell at all. It's clearly the young lady indulging the prince. They are both going together. This is too good to be true.
At this moment, Duan Jiu stepped into the courtyard, "Your Majesty, Jiang Linyuan wants to see the young lady."
"Jiang Linyuan?" Pei Jing frowned, "No!"
Duan Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "How about you ask the young lady first? After all..."
After all, now in this palace, what you say doesn't count. Duan Jiu swallowed the second half of the sentence with great difficulty.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Linyuan was brought into Xiesongzhai.
Jiang Fei was about to go out when Pei Jing moved his feet, blocking Jiang Fei's way.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's talk right here." Pei Jing stood with his arms folded. "I can hear you."
"Who's talking behind a screen?" Jiang Fei tried to go around, but Pei Jing grabbed her waist and hugged her. She sat directly on the couch and said loudly, "Let Jiang Linyuan in."
Jiang Linyuan was brought in. He looked around and saw that the room was empty. "Excuse me, Miss..."
"If you have something to say, just tell me directly." Pei Jing said from the inner room across the screen.
Jiang Fei struggled in Pei Jing's arms, but he held her tighter.
Pei Jing whispered in her ear, "I don't like him looking at you, and I don't like you looking at him. Promise me you'll only drink Silver Needle Baihao. You can't even smell Rock Tea."
The tip of Jiang Fei's ear was burning from his hot breath. She pushed him away in anger and amusement, whispering, "Stop messing around."
Pei Jing didn't move at all, and tightened his arms.
It looked like a beast guarding its food, clearly declaring its territory.
"Miss." Jiang Linyuan's voice came from behind the screen, "I heard that Miss was kidnapped. Fortunately, Miss is safe."
"It's none of your business--" Jiang Fei covered Pei Jing's mouth with her hand.
Jiang Linyuan paused after hearing the voice, then continued, "Thanks to the prince and the young lady, my health has improved and my skills have recovered by 40% to 50%. I will never forget this kindness."
"You don't have to be so polite, Lu—"
As soon as Jiang Fei opened her mouth, Pei Jing sucked her earlobe, making her tremble all over.
"Miss?" Jiang Linyuan's voice was a little hesitant.
Jiang Fei cleared her throat and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. It's just a small favor."
She turned her head and glared at Pei Jing. Seeing the triumphant smile in his eyes, she reached out and pinched him.
Pei Jing became more and more aggressive, his fingertips quietly hooked on her sleeves, slowly exploring inside, rubbing his fingertips against her skin, and his lips almost touching her neck.
"Don't twist it, it's itchy."
Jiang Fei's heart trembled at his annoyance, and she raised her voice and asked, "You just said that you wanted to see Wei Ciying?"
"That's right." Jiang Linyuan seemed unaware of the commotion inside and replied, "I was ambushed that day and nearly died. The mastermind behind this has yet to be found. I'm worried and want to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible, so I invited Miss Wei to meet me to find out what her real motives are."
Jiang Fei was silent for a moment. It seemed that this incident really made Jiang Linyuan believe that Wei Ciying was not a good person.
"You're distracted." Pei Jing whispered in her ear.
Jiang Fei was brought back to her senses by his scorching breath and subconsciously turned her head away, but Pei Jing bit her earlobe and her whole body went numb.
"Stop messing around, let's talk business." Jiang Fei reached out and pressed his shoulder, her fingers feeling weak.
Pei Jing really liked the way she looked. Even when she was being bullied, she still had to hold on, her eyelashes trembling wetly, and she had to glare at him with a stern face.
"I understand," Jiang Fei pretended to be calm and said, "When do you want to see her?"
Jiang Linyuan: "The sooner the better."
When Jiang Linyuan's footsteps disappeared outside the door, Jiang Fei immediately turned around, pounced on him, and pressed Pei Jing directly onto the low couch.
She knelt beside him, her hands supporting his shoulders, the flames in her eyes almost bursting out.
"I'll let you make trouble! You dare to be so presumptuous in front of outsiders? Do you really think I can't discipline you?"
Pei Jing laughed muffledly under her pressure, and simply relaxed his limbs and lay down. He raised his hand to touch her face, but was slapped away by her without getting angry.
Seeing her angry look, the corners of his lips curved even more.
The phrase "in front of outsiders" really makes people feel comfortable.
"I've finished making trouble," Pei Jing blinked. "Now it's your turn. You can pay me back for all the bullying I did to you."
"He's dreaming, don't be fooled." The system said: "Don't reward him!"
"I need you to remind me." Jiang Fei said to the system in her mind, "Could you please not come out and spoil the fun at a time like this?"
System: “Oh.”
Jiang Fei used more force in her hands and pinched Pei Jing's face deliberately. "If you dare to do this again next time, I will make you sleep on a low couch at night."
With just one sentence, Pei Jing was completely subdued.
…
Two days later, in a secluded teahouse in the south of the city.
Jiang Linyuan waited for an incense stick of time before Wei Ciying finally arrived.
She was wearing a plain cloak and a veiled hat on her head, covering her face completely.
"Ms. Wei." Jiang Linyuan stood up.
Wei Ciying raised her hand and took off her veil, revealing her delicate face. "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Are you feeling better these days? Did you remember anything?"
Jiang Linyuan nodded, "Thank you for your concern. I am fine now, but I just can't recall the past."
"That's really a pity." Wei Ciying replied indifferently.
"Speaking of which," Jiang Linyuan said slowly, "after you reminded me last time, I started to pay attention to Jiang Rufei, and I found that this person is indeed a bit strange."
"Oh?" Wei Ciying paused, her hand on the teacup in her hand, a glint in her eyes. "What's so strange about that?"
Jiang Linyuan lowered his eyes, his fingertips slowly circling the teacup, but he didn't drink. "I can't say what's strange, but I just feel that the way she looks at me is not right. Whenever I bring up the past, she looks a little flustered."
Wei Ciying was secretly delighted, the fish had indeed taken the bait.
"Young Master is suspicious..."
"I suspect she was the one who murdered me," Jiang Linyuan said. "Your Highness saved me first, so I shouldn't have been so suspicious of others. But the medicine you sent me two days ago smelled a little off."
Wei Ciying sneered in his heart, it was indeed so.
Once suspicion arises in one's heart, everything seems to be hiding something fishy. Even ordinary medicine can taste wrong.
It wasn't Jiang Rufei's problem at all; it was clearly his suspicion that was at work, but it just happened to suit her needs.
She raised her eyes, a hint of concern on her face. "Since you feel something is wrong, you'd better be more careful in the future. After all, you should always be on guard against others."
Jiang Linyuan nodded, "Miss Wei is right."
"If that's the case, then I'm afraid you're not safe in the palace anymore." Wei Ciying asked, "Have you ever thought about finding another place to live?"
"I don't know where my home is right now, and I'm penniless. Besides, it's just a suspicion, and I haven't found any concrete evidence yet."
"What are you going to do if you find evidence?"
Jiang Linyuan thought for a moment and said, "Of course I'll leave after getting my revenge."
Wei Ciying clenched her handkerchief tightly, feeling a mixture of fear and joy.
If Jiang Linyuan could be made to believe that the enemy was Jiang Rufei, she could get him to help her get rid of this person. Then when he left the palace, would she still be afraid that she would not have the opportunity to attack him?
"Since you have such a heart, I'm sure you'll be able to find evidence soon. However, she's with the prince, so it might be difficult for you to take revenge. If you need any help, please let me know. We've known each other for a long time, and I can't just stand by and watch."
Wen Zhu lay on the rooftop and listened to the entire conversation. After the two left, Wen Zhu frowned and asked, "What does Jiang Linyuan mean? Has he been persuaded by Wei Ciying to defect?"
