Chapter 174 Sick
Pei Jing frowned: "What do you mean?"
Wen Zhu lowered his voice, "There's been something wrong with the young lady since she woke up. Sometimes she talks to herself, sometimes she talks to the air, and sometimes she laughs and claps for no apparent reason. I just heard from Jiu Tao that the young lady was mumbling to herself again after she woke up."
Pei Jing looked at Jiu Tao, who nodded quickly and said, "It happened occasionally before, but not as severe as it has been these past two days."
Pei Jing's face suddenly changed. He strode back, raised his hand to push the door open, then stopped and looked inside through the crack in the door.
Jiang Fei was talking to the system. "It's cute, isn't it?"
The system said: "Cute is not my type. I like muscular men. Ask him to take off his clothes so I can see."
Jiang Fei tsk-tsks, "I've never seen a system like yours."
"How many systems have you seen? You've only traveled through this once."
Jiang Fei suddenly remembered, "You said there was no system when I traveled through time as a child?"
My mind suddenly became quiet for a moment, and the system said, "I think so."
Jiang Fei keenly sensed that there was something wrong with that pause, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, "Could it be that it was you at that time?"
The system chuckled twice and said, "I am just a humble person. But don't ask me about my childhood. I have been blocked."
Jiang Fei snorted twice, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go for now, you——"
Pei Jing suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, his voice stopping abruptly. Jiang Fei turned around and met Pei Jing's shocked gaze, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
Pei Jing could not hide his shock. He had just seen her shaking her head through the crack in the door, occasionally blurting out some irrelevant remarks.
He strode forward and looked down at her. "Who were you talking to just now?"
Jiang Fei rolled her eyes, thinking that it was late at night and it was a good opportunity. If she didn't seduce Pei Jing, she would be doing a disservice to the romantic candlelight.
So she hooked her arm around Pei Jing's neck and pulled him down, whispering in his ear, "I'm talking to the matchmaker, asking him when he'll tie the knot for us."
Pei Jing's heart was in tatters. He asked tentatively in a trembling voice, "What did Yue Lao say?"
Jiang Fei was delighted and said with a smile: "Yue Lao said we will get married tomorrow."
Pei Jing never imagined that the bride kidnapping would cause her such a great shock.
He pulled her hand away, took two steps back, looked at her intently for a while, then suddenly turned and left.
Jiang Fei looked at his almost fleeing back with a slightly smug expression, "What do you think of my trick? Look, his voice has changed. He couldn't withstand my fierce attack at all and just ran away."
The system asked in confusion: "Why do I feel that his expression seems a little frightened?"
Jiang Fei thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. "Is he afraid that he can't control himself?"
…
On the other side, Pei Jing rushed out of the yard and said, "Follow me" as he passed by Wen Zhu and Jiu Tao.
Several people walked out of the yard and made sure that their conversation would not be heard by Jiang Fei who suddenly came out before they began.
"When did she start having these symptoms?"
Jiu Tao had been with her the longest. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Ever since I started following her, she's been like this. Occasionally, she'd say something, and when I asked, she'd say she wasn't talking to me. It was intermittent, and sometimes she wouldn't be like this for days."
"Then who is she talking to?" Wen Zhu asked.
A gust of night wind suddenly passed through the group of people.
Jiu Tao shuddered suddenly, hugged Wen Zhu's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh, oh, oh, could it be that some dirty thing has entangled us?"
"It's not a dirty thing." Pei Jing said firmly, "I was born with the destiny of an emperor. No evil spirits can get close to me. I was even at the door just now, and she was still talking to herself."
"Oh, right," Jiu Tao said worriedly, "sometimes it's like her soul has been sucked out. I call her for a long time but she doesn't respond. It takes a long time for her to come back to her senses."
Wen Zhu frowned and said, "If it's not something dirty, then it can only be..."
Several people looked at each other, and each had a terrible answer in their minds - Jiang Fei was crazy.
Pei Jing's face turned pale in an instant. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned blue and white.
If he had known that kidnapping the bride would make her condition worse, he would rather chop himself into pieces than let her suffer like this.
Jiu Tao was so frightened that she burst into tears. "The young lady...she wouldn't really..."
"Shut up!" Pei Jing shouted, but softened his tone the next second, "She'll be fine."
Pei Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the pain in his heart. "Tomorrow, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the doctor who treats this prince to come over. Then send someone to the Huguo Temple to ask for the abbot."
Whether it was evil spirits or illness, he would help her resolve it.
…
After Pei Jing knew that Jiang Fei had a brain problem, he stopped arguing with her. The next day, when he heard that Jiang Fei had woken up, he went to her courtyard.
Jiu Tao and Wen Zhu stood at the door, pointed into the house, and whispered, "It's started again."
The system has been online for the past few days, and Jiang Fei has finally gotten out of the plot. He is rarely relaxed. While Jiutao and Wenzhu are not in the room, he is chatting with the system and has no idea what is going on.
"What happened to the host later?" Jiang Fei asked excitedly, playing with a strand of hair in her hand.
The system said slowly: "Oh, she finally lived happily with the villain and gave birth to three children."
"Three?!" Jiang Fei almost choked on her own saliva, "This is too fertile!"
"There are also those who marry five husbands." The system said: "The five live in peace."
Jiang Fei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but clapping her hands in amazement. "Five husbands?! What kind of magical plot is this! Tell me the details!"
The system chuckled: "That host was reincarnated as a prince of a country where women are respected. He married five handsome men in one go. There was the gentle and graceful son of the prime minister, the unruly son of a general, and..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Jiang Fei suddenly covered her ears and touched the corner of her mouth, "Stop talking! I'm drooling if you keep talking!"
She lay in bed and thought about it. If she were to marry five people, with Pei Jing's possessiveness, he would probably make a big fuss and kill the other four.
But just thinking about it is okay. If she had five husbands, one would earn money, one would do housework, one would accompany her shopping, one would give her a massage, and another would serve her, and then they would take turns after five days.
Jiang Fei counted on her fingers, the more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She couldn't help laughing and rolled around on the bed.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Pei Jing stood at the door with a gloomy face, followed by the trembling Jiu Tao and the solemn Wen Zhu.
Jiang Fei quickly put away her smile and sat up, "You're here."
Pei Jing hummed, but his face remained gloomy, as if he had heard everything she had just imagined.
Jiang Fei felt that Pei Jing was weird. He came to sit with her but said nothing. Occasionally, she secretly saw him looking at her with a very complicated look.
She understood the regret and the heartache, but there was a hint of... pity in his eyes?
