Chapter 193 Promise
The next day, Pei Jingyuan woke up. When he looked up and saw the familiar room, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He clearly remembered that he was chased by the bandits and fell off the cliff, and was later rescued by a strange woman.
That strange woman fed him some random things. He resisted, but the woman knocked him unconscious again. How come when he woke up this time, he found himself back in the room of the governor's mansion?
"Are you awake?" While Pei Jingyuan was wondering, he heard a woman's slightly joyful voice.
He turned around and saw the woman who saved him pushing open the door and walking in from outside.
Pei Jingyuan frowned subconsciously and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I saved you, why do you have this attitude? If it weren't for me, you would never have woken up. Although, you didn't have any serious injuries on your body, you hit your head at that time. At that time, I had to use some special methods to clear the blood clots in your brain, but you didn't believe me, so I had to knock you out again." The witch explained with some grievance.
Pei Jingyuan was lucky. When he fell off the cliff, his body was hung on a tree, so he only suffered some skin injuries and no bone injuries. However, his head was not so lucky. It hit the rock slightly. If the witch had not found it in time, he would have died by now.
"Young master, are you awake?" At this time, the servant who was originally serving Pei Jingyuan also walked in from outside with surprise.
He quickly explained to the witch, "Sir, this girl is indeed your savior. The young master had you brought back. The doctor said that this girl used her method to clear the blood clots in your brain. Otherwise, you might have died long ago. She has been treating you these past few days, and she has not hurt you."
After hearing what his people said, Pei Jingyuan completely believed the witch in his heart. He just looked at her with a little doubt and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from? Are you a doctor?"
"My name is Chen Xing. I'm not a doctor. I used a poisonous insect to suck out your blood clots. You saw my insect that day, so you were scared." Chen Xing didn't care about Pei Jingyuan's misunderstanding and explained seriously.
After all, most people would be afraid of this witchcraft, and she could understand that.
Pei Jingyuan was stunned for a moment. This time he woke up with a much clearer mind than last time, so when he heard this, he began to think deeply. Gu Shu was something very magical. Last time, he heard that Princess Louxi's Gu could help people determine the father of the fetus. He always thought that it was only available in other countries. He didn't expect that there were people who knew Gu Shu in their Great Xia?
Thinking of this, he was instantly moved. If such a talent could be used by him, wouldn't he be able to use Gu to do many things? Especially, this time the Prince of Yu asked him to deal with Pei Jingchuan, and he was worried about what method to use. If he could use this woman...
Pei Jingyuan's attitude immediately changed. He looked at Chen Xing with gratitude, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed deeply to her, saying, "Thank you very much, Miss Chen, for saving my life! I have no way to repay you for this great kindness."
Seeing that the other party had finally let down his guard against her, Chen Xing smiled awkwardly and said, "I have nothing to repay you with, so can you repay me with your body?"
Pei Jingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked up at Chen Xing's bright smile in astonishment, "Girl, you..."
"By the way! Are you married?" Chen Xing thought of this important question. She was afraid that Pei Jingyuan was also a married man like Pei Jingchuan.
Although she loves handsome men, this love also has its own rules. She does not want to be a mistress, let alone a concubine.
Pei Jingyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and was secretly surprised. This woman seemed to be interested in him. It was really God's help for him. He said, "I don't have a wife yet."
Chen Xing was delighted when she heard this and asked, "Is what you said true?"
"Well! If the lady doesn't mind and really wants me to marry her, then I will definitely agree to it." Pei Jingyuan nodded in response.
Chen Xing's face instantly turned red. She had just been testing the waters casually, but she didn't expect the other party to actually agree!
Now, she has reached the age to get married. Her parents died early, and when the bandits are destroyed, she will be homeless. So she should find someone to marry and start a new family.
The man in front of her was good-looking and suited her taste. After being shy for a while, Chen Xing confidently and boldly stepped forward and took Pei Jingyuan's hand. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Okay! From now on, you will be my fiancé. After this bandit suppression is over, I will go to the capital with you, and then you will marry me.
"Suppressing bandits?" Pei Jingyuan's eyes showed a hint of doubt again. What does she have to do with suppressing bandits?
Seeing his expression, Chen Xing told him about his promise to cooperate with Pei Jingchuan and others to suppress the bandits. After Pei Jingyuan heard this, he had a plan in his mind.
"They confirmed their relationship so quickly?" On the other side, Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan showed a hint of surprise in their eyes after hearing the report from the secret guard.
Although she knew that Chen Xing was one of Pei Jingyuan's official confidantes, she was still a little shocked that they confirmed their relationship after only meeting for the second time. This speed was really fast!
Pei Jingchuan lowered his eyes and thought deeply. After a moment's silence, he said, "I'm afraid he will use Chen Xing to suppress the bandits this time. I wonder if he will take the opportunity to do something."
"Young Master, the Second Young Master wants to see you." Just as the words fell, the voice of a servant came from outside the door.
Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan looked at each other and understood what he meant. They were afraid that Pei Jingyuan was going to start causing trouble.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I heard that you are going to suppress bandits in a few days. Can I go with you?" After coming in, Pei Jingyuan directly told Pei Jingchuan about his request.
"You're injured, how can you go? You'd better stay here and recuperate! Besides, the governor thinks you're dead. If you go with him, won't he know that I already know that he harmed you?" Pei Jingchuan glanced at him and said.
[What on earth is this Pei Jingyuan up to? She just suffered a loss at the hands of the bandits, but she still wants to follow her husband to fight the bandits? Come... come... come... let me see what his plan is. Oh my god! He is really a ruthless person! He actually wants to wait until my husband succeeds in fighting the bandits, and then stab my husband from the back when he is not paying attention, and then say that my husband was killed in this fight. He can then take these merits back to the capital to claim the reward, he is really dreaming! Why do you think that my husband will be assassinated by him?] Xu Qingyan screamed in her heart, and her eyes looking at Pei Jingyuan instantly became full of disgust.
Pei Jingchuan's eyes were dark. His second brother really couldn't wait at all! He was already injured, and he was still thinking about plotting against him?
