Chapter 21: Be good. The little mute doesn't understand, but he is obedient. ...
He Zhiliao's bright and delicate face had obvious pinch marks and several swollen nipples. Her beautiful lips were torn and blood scabs formed at the corners of her lips.
The cuffs of the bright lavender dress were torn, and there were faint traces of dust and footprints.
It looks really miserable and distressing.
Pei Ji held him tightly with one hand and supported his chin with the other hand so that he raised his head, his eyes full of heartache.
"Harumi, go ahead."
Chun Jian immediately told the whole story in detail, and secretly added some more. His teeth chattered when he spoke, which showed how much he hated the He family.
With every word Chun Jian spoke, Pei Ji's expression grew colder, until it became impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The person in his arms was still trembling. Pei Ji only responded softly and turned to look at Xixin, "Go and call the palace doctor."
"yes."
"Yanhua, take Harujian down."
"yes."
Haru was stunned, "Master, Zhengjun he——"
Pei Ji frowned slightly and said in a calm tone, "How can I serve him when I'm injured?"
Chun Jian said no more. He had been protecting the young master all the time and had indeed sustained many injuries. He could not easily serve the young master, otherwise he would be laughed at.
After they all left, Pei Ji picked up He Zhiliao and carried him horizontally, walked quickly to the bed, and put him down slowly and gently.
"Take off your clothes, I'll see if you have any other injuries." Pei Ji sat on the edge of the bed, his voice was very soft, and he had no intention of taking off his clothes.
Tears welled up in He Zhiliao's eyes. He blinked to hold them back. He tried to untie his belt with trembling hands, but failed to get the knot untied.
Pei Ji sighed inwardly and immediately helped him untie it.
There were several bruises on the originally smooth and white shoulders, and there were several scratches on the neck and collarbone. The rafters were swollen and looked extremely scary.
There were no scars on his waist and abdomen, which showed that the self-defense skills he had been taught were useful.
"I never realized you were so brave before." Pei Ji said softly with a hint of smile, fearing that he would cry out loud if his words were harsh.
Hearing this, He Zhiliao immediately looked up at him timidly, tears still gathering in her eyes, but they didn't fall out.
Pei Ji's smile deepened, and he gently held his face and blew on it, "If something like this happens again, just agree to it and put it on me. I will naturally protect you. Why do you have to let yourself be wronged because of such a small matter?"
He Zhiliao shook his head slightly.
I don't want you to be embarrassed, nor do I want them to take advantage of you.
Pei Ji held him in his arms and rocked him gently, "As long as it's for you, I won't have any embarrassment. From now on, you can just agree with me and push all these to me. I will do everything."
He Zhiliao curled his lips and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He would never do that, but he would be happy when the other person said that.
Xixin quickly invited the court physician. The old man still remembered the incident when he was almost punched, so he didn't dare to easily offend Pei Si and spoke directly and clearly.
"Jun Zheng is fine. These are just flesh wounds. They will heal with some ointment. But you are still a little weak, so you can't stop taking the medicine," said the court doctor.
"Use the best medicine and don't leave any scars." Pei Ji said.
Not only is his little mute cute, but he already feels inferior because of his disability. If his appearance, which he is proud of, is damaged, he will probably be heartbroken.
The court doctor nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
They are just minor wounds. If you take your time, they will all heal without leaving any scars.
The court physician brought out all the ointments and powders that he had prepared long ago. They were all the best he had. But when it came to good medicine, the best were naturally those from the Imperial Hospital.
"Everyone, go down—" Pei Ji was speaking when he felt his sleeve being gently tugged. He thought of something and said, "Please go and help my husband with the dowry."
"...Yes." The court doctor responded.
Okay, the Pei family is the master, we can do whatever we want!
"Are you satisfied?" Pei Ji chuckled. "I'll clean my hands and apply the medicine for you. Just sit still."
He Zhiliao immediately moved his butt, adjusted his posture, placed his hands in front of him, sat upright, and stretched his legs straight.
When Pei Ji came back after washing his hands, he saw his well-behaved appearance, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing.
【ah? 】
The little mute looked at him blankly and innocently, not understanding why he laughed out loud for no reason. Could it be that he found his clown face funny?
He pursed his lips and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek. The location of the wound was indeed very unpleasant, and it was in a conspicuous place.
Pei Ji walked closer with a smile, "Don't touch it, it will be healed soon after applying some medicine."
He Zhiliao put down his hand obediently and looked at him eagerly.
Pei Ji was just angry that his face was injured, otherwise he would definitely have given him a good kiss.
"Bear with it." Pei Ji said as he began to apply medicine on him.
The milky white ointment instantly makes the face and neck shiny when applied, and quickly blends into the skin.
It’s getting late if we go back and forth.
Ever since he left, Pei Su had been sending people to keep an eye on him. Naturally, it was impossible to hide his miserable return from the mansion.
Pei Su was somewhat helpless. "You seem timid on weekdays, but you actually have some skills. Send me some ointments and supplements from my warehouse."
"yes."
Pei Ding put down the book in his hand, but was still hesitant to stand up. Pei Su saw through his thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "We are all family, just pick out some good things to send over. Yun Zhou and the others won't care about these."
"Yeah." Pei Ding responded lightly, and the person behind him did it immediately, and he continued to read the book.
"You seem to like sitting here with me all the time these days?" Pei Su suddenly thought of something, and his gaze fell on Pei Ding. This younger brother was the one he was most worried about.
Like a saw-mouthed gourd, he is always silent and keeps all his thoughts hidden in his heart, not letting others know easily. This is most harmful to his health.
Pei Ding turned a deaf ear and continued reading.
Pei Su naturally wouldn't really drive him away, so he just let him go.
In the evening.
The aroma was already wafting from the Qingyuan kitchen.
Pei Ji thought of the things his brothers had sent him, and turned to ask He Zhiliao, "Do you want to use them in the front yard today?"
【ah……】
He Zhiliao looked at him blankly. He did have some thoughts in mind, but he was injured today. If he just let it go, wouldn't it annoy his parents and brothers?
"Don't worry, we are going to collect money today." Pei Ji smiled.
The little mute didn't understand, but he was obedient.
After a while, he went to the front yard with the food from the small kitchen.
The round table in the front yard dining room was instantly filled to the brim.
Qin Yurong knew where all the money that was spent like water in the mansion had gone.
"Is Azhi okay?" Qin Yurong asked with concern.
He Zhiliao immediately put down his chopsticks, sat up straight, and nodded slightly.
Qin Yurong was so amused by his behavior that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said softly, "Eat, there are no such rules at home. As long as you're healthy, it's good. There's still some ginseng in the storeroom. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some soup tomorrow."
He Zhiliao quickly raised his right thumb and nodded twice at Qin Yurong.
Looking at the mischievous thumb, Qin Yurong raised her lips and said, "You are dressed too plainly. There are many good things in the warehouse. I will ask someone to take you to choose some later."
【ah--】
"Thank you, mother!" Pei Ji said quickly, "We'll pick after we finish our meal!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his two brothers again, "Then we will not be polite later. I remember that second brother has a jade screen? Third brother also has a set of black jade tables?"
Pei Su: “…”
Pei Ding: “…”
That’s settled.
He Zhiliao didn't even dare to breathe. She just held the bowl and ate obediently, for she was so afraid that her husband would be beaten!
After dinner, Pei Ji took He Zhiliao to various warehouses in the mansion to pick out various things. He ordered people to put anything he thought was good into the Qingyuan warehouse and then put them all on display later.
He Zhiliao watched helplessly as her husband plundered everywhere like a bandit, and soon the Qingyuan warehouse was full.
Pei Ji smiled and said, "Qingyuan is still not convenient, but if you like it, you can live here. I will have someone redecorate it later, and you will like it more."
[Do you need more renovations? This place is great!]
"It's not enough. There has to be someone better to match you." Pei Ji scratched his chin, causing the little mute to nestle in his arms like a cat, and he hugged him contentedly.
He Zhiliao curved her eyes and hid in his arms with longing, wishing that every day could be as beautiful as this moment.
Have a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning.
When Pei Ji woke up, he found that the people around him were gone. He got up and was about to look for them, but Yuan Rong reminded him that he had to go to his mother to learn from her from today.
Naturally, his mother would not torture him. It would be a good thing for him to learn more.
"Go to my study and get some books so I can learn from them." Pei Ji said. It would be bad to leave his little mute child alone with his mother. It would be pitiful.
While walking towards the East Garden, Pei Ji asked him about what he had instructed.
Yuan Rong quickly replied, "Jin Ling sent people to Miaojiang and the Southern Region yesterday. I've also sent people to keep an eye on the He family. Everything has been explained, so don't worry, Master."
Pei Ji: "I have no worries about you guys doing the job. I'll find some experts and renovate Qingyuan."
"yes."
The sun was shining brightly today. When Pei Ji arrived at the East Garden, the only voice in the entire house was Qin Yurong's. After all, the little mute couldn't speak.
When He Zhiliao heard the footsteps approaching from afar, his mind couldn't help but drift away.
After a moment, Qin Yurong heard the noise and looked up, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to learn from you too." Pei Ji said as he showed the book he brought with him. "I'll just sit aside, not talking, not disturbing anyone."
After he said that, he smiled at He Zhiliao, signaling him to listen to his teachings obediently.
He Zhiliao's cheeks turned red, the corners of his lips curved, and he lowered his head.
Qin Yurong instantly glared at him, and Pei Ji immediately raised his eyebrows innocently, sat down with the book, and pretended to flip through it, which really seemed like he had changed his personality.
"Let me continue to tell you about those young ladies from aristocratic families..."
She spoke in detail and knew the temperament of every young lady. After all, people in today's world are open-minded and young ladies and gentlemen are not always at home. You can find out by asking around.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Qin Yurong spoke, and He Zhiliao listened obediently, looking up and meeting her gaze from time to time. He was very well behaved.
Good children always make people feel pity and love.
