Chapter 3 Asking for Dowry
When Pei Jingchuan returned to the new house again, Xu Qingyan was so tired that she was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Pei Jingchuan walked to the bedside and looked down at the person lying on the bed. Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her face. Her red lips were like petals blooming on the branches. He could hear her shallow breathing in the quiet surroundings.
"Where is the bridal chamber as promised? She is sleeping soundly now." Pei Jingchuan couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Afterwards, he gently took off the heavy phoenix crown on Xu Qingyan's head, moved her body to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and took off his outer robe and lay outside.
Xu Qingyan was not very good at sleeping, always tossing and turning, and treating Pei Jingchuan like a big doll. She hugged his waist, rubbing against him constantly, and her soft red lips covered his neck.
Pei Jingchuan suddenly lost all sleepiness. He lowered his eyes to look at the delicate woman lying in his arms. Even his breathing began to become heavier.
"Hmm~" Xu Qingyan seemed to be dreaming. She dreamed that she was eating some delicious food and she made a delicate smacking sound.
This sound was like a bolt of thunder that struck Pei Jingchuan's nerves. His expression was gloomy, and there seemed to be some emotions surging in his eyes.
"Hmm!" Xu Qingyan groaned in a daze. She felt like she had suddenly turned into a dish and was being eaten.
The red curtains were warm, the lovemaking was going on, and the red candles on the table silently reflected the figures of the mandarin ducks mating. It was not until the third watch that Xu Qingyan tiredly opened her already blurry eyes.
[What's going on here...what's going on here...? ] Xu Qingyan couldn't help but exclaim in her heart. She looked at the handsome face that was magnified in front of her, and she felt that her body was in pain and tired. She wanted to get up, but as soon as she struggled, the other party's movements became faster, and the violent kiss made her unable to breathe.
At this moment, Pei Jingchuan could no longer control himself, and he ignored Xu Qingyan's voice. However, when he saw that she was about to cry in pain, he gradually softened.
————The next day————
[Young Master, was it your first time yesterday? I seemed to have no experience at all. I was in so much pain. I hope I can get pregnant this time. I don’t want to continue to feel so much pain tonight!] After Xu Qingyan was dressed neatly, she couldn’t help but complain in her heart.
Pei Jingchuan paused while drinking tea, his face stiffened, and he thought: Is she disliking him? Well, he really didn't have any experience before, so he had to pay more attention to her feelings in the future.
So, he walked up to her and said gently, "I'm sorry for last night. I'll have someone send you some things later. I'll stay in the study tonight. You should have a good rest these few days."
[Wow! What a godly husband, he is so considerate. I was just thinking that he might continue tonight, but he gave me a day off. It's really great! The heroine doesn't want such a husband, she is really at a loss!] Xu Qingyan couldn't help but praise him in her heart.
Pei Jingchuan couldn't help feeling slightly pleased when he heard her praise.
After they finished their breakfast together, they went to the main hall to serve tea to the Duke and his wife.
Pei Jingyuan arrived at the main hall before them. The atmosphere in the hall was serious at this time, and everyone's eyes were looking at Pei Jingchuan and the others.
"Father, Mother." Pei Jingchuan bowed to the Duke and the Duchess, and Xu Qingyan followed suit.
The Duke and the Duchess's eyes passed over Pei Jingchuan and looked directly at Xu Qingyan beside him.
"Brother, I'm sorry." At this moment, Pei Jingyuan, who was standing aside, suddenly bowed and apologized to Pei Jingchuan with an apologetic look on his face.
"It was all my fault that I didn't recognize the bride yesterday and I consummated my marriage with her as my bride. Now that it's done, I feel only guilt towards you. No matter how you want to punish me, I'm willing to accept it." His attitude seemed extremely sincere, and he was just about to lift up his robe and kneel on the ground.
The Duke and the Duchess looked at Pei Jingchuan helplessly. They had just scolded Pei Jingyuan, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good, which made them have no choice but to accept their fate after scolding him.
"I don't blame you. I know that my second brother was too anxious to consummate his marriage yesterday. Even when I wanted to say something to you before the wedding ceremony, you didn't have time to respond. So it's understandable that you recognized the wrong bride." Pei Jingchuan said calmly.
"Was Jingyuan really that anxious yesterday?" The Duke, who was sitting on a high mahogany chair, couldn't help but change his expression when he heard Pei Jingchuan's words.
He didn't know that Pei Jingchuan had already discovered the clues before the wedding, and Pei Jingyuan was so anxious to avoid it, what else could it be if not because he was guilty?
Pei Jingyuan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he smiled awkwardly: "This is my first marriage, and I was too excited and nervous yesterday, and I was afraid that I would miss the auspicious time. That's why I didn't talk to my eldest brother."
[Tsk... You old man are still nervous? You are not worried about being discovered, right? After all, Xu Qingyue is only one month pregnant now, and she has morning sickness every day. If you don't get married quickly, it will be troublesome if she can't hold it anymore and vomits in public! ] Xu Qingyan couldn't help but complain in her heart when she heard Pei Jingyuan's words.
At this moment, the Duke and his wife were both startled.
Who, who is talking? They looked around the hall in surprise, only to see the maids standing aside with their mouths shut and eyes downcast, and no one was talking. Could it be that they heard it wrong?
"Jingchuan, how do you want to punish Jingyuan? Just tell us. He owes you this." The Duke looked at Pei Jingchuan and said.
"It's come to this point, there's no point in punishing him any more. My second brother and I are brothers, let's just forget it!" Pei Jingchuan said. Now he had no evidence to prove that this was planned by his second brother, and it would be meaningless if he kept catching him, and he didn't want to be cuckolded and raise a bastard.
[The young master is very generous. He let it go with just an apology. You let it go, but they don't intend to let it go. They know that the young master is kind and won't care. Then later, they will say that since they made a mistake, then should Xu Qingyue and I get our dowries back? Oh my God, I'm so heartbroken! After all, my dowry is ten times richer than Xu Qingyue's! But later, they will take it away! Woo woo...] As soon as Pei Jingchuan finished speaking, Xu Qingyan complained again with reluctance.
This time, the Duke and his wife finally knew where the voice came from. They suppressed their shock. Their life experience was enough to make their expressions look very calm. However, they were also very curious about whether what Xu Qingyan said was true or false.
But before they could figure it out, Pei Jingyuan said again: "Thank you for your magnanimity, brother. I will live a good life with Qingyue in the future. However, Qingyue said that she is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, and the dowry is different from that of a concubine's daughter. Since the two of them have made a mistake, she wants to exchange the dowry back now. Please understand, father, mother and brother."
Duke Guo:! ! !
The Duke’s wife: !!!
They looked at each other. Is this eldest son’s wife the worm in Pei Jingyuan’s stomach?
"This..." The Duke and his wife sighed in embarrassment, then turned their gaze towards Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan.
"Second brother, since we can make the best of a mistake made by the bride, then there is naturally no question of changing the dowry back. Since I am the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, as his wife, the dowry naturally cannot be shabby." Before Xu Qingyan could open her mouth to agree, Pei Jingchuan had already found a reason to refuse.
[Wow! The young master is so nice! He even knows how to protect me. He is such a good husband! No, I don’t want such a good husband to die in two years. I must find the mysterious doctor in the book and have him cure the young master’s poison! ]
What is this mysterious doctor? And Jingchuan is sick, how could she be poisoned? Can this mysterious doctor really save Jingchuan?
At this moment, the Duke and his wife were shocked when they heard this.
