Chapter 3: Beast. He felt bad.
Pei Ji waited quietly for his response, but he was extremely nervous inside.
Judging from the ending of his previous life, even if such a thing happened, the little mute treated him the same as before, and his love for him was so deep that it never changed.
But now that he was reborn, many details had changed. He no longer dared to believe that the other party still loved him deeply. After all, what he had done was really too much.
He Zhiliao shook his head gently and wanted to make a gesture to him, but remembered that he didn't like to see her gesture. He lowered his head silently, unable to say much, and dared not say much.
"What's the matter? Just say whatever you want to say, but you feel uncomfortable with me here? How about asking Chun Jian to come in and pass on the message? Or, I can also understand lip reading. Just look up at me and move your mouth, and I will know what you want to say." Pei Ji held his wrist, wanting him to continue talking, even if it meant continuing to gesture.
But the little mute didn't dare.
He didn't trust someone who treated him coldly and with a cold eye every day, and this time even left him alone in the palace to be tortured.
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and his tears fell uncontrollably, directly hitting Pei Ji's palm.
It feels like being cut by a knife.
"Yuanrong!" Pei Ji roared, taking off the token from his waist and throwing it to the servant who hurried in. "Take my token and go to the palace to call the imperial physician. Go quickly!"
Damn it, what happened to his wife?
Yuan Rong did not dare to disobey, so he took the token and left.
"Don't be afraid. I'll ask him to go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to treat you. The old doctor is blurry-eyed and should have been sent away long ago! But your body hurts a lot?" Pei Ji looked at him distressedly and fanned him with the round fan beside him while asking. "Ting Chunjian said he wanted to use ice. I'll have someone send some ice over. We have plenty at home. Feel free to use it."
It's just a worthless thing. If I can make him happy, I would even ask him to chisel the ice himself.
He Zhiliao still shook his head, still did not move his hands, nor did he raise his head or move his mouth. He just let his tears dry in the air, silent as if he was not even in the room.
This is very annoying, and he knows it.
But he had done all these things when he first got married, and was always scolded and taught a lesson by Pei Ji. He was a person who learned from his mistakes. How could he not learn from his mistakes after suffering losses in the past?
If it were at this time in his previous life, if Pei Ji saw that he was so difficult to please, he would have left with sarcasm and not even looked at him. How could he have such patience?
But at this moment, he was more patient than ever.
The little mute had developed a timid and fearful character in the He family. Any disturbance would make him panic. If he was still impatient, he would be unworthy of being a human being.
"Harumi, come in."
Chun Jian walked up to him with his brows lowered and called him respectfully and indifferently, "Fourth Master."
Pei Ji raised his eyelids and glanced at him, not caring about his attitude, and said calmly: "I have something to say to Zheng Jun, you just pass the message here."
He then looked down at He Zhile again, trying to soften his voice. He smiled and said, "It was my fault today. Are you really unwilling to forgive me? Then why don't you trust me again? Now that the matter is settled, let's just get along well. How about that?"
He Zhiliao knew that he had called Chunjian in and was determined to hear his response, so he responded.
The Pei family is powerful, and Pei Ji is his husband. Even if he tries to think it over, he dare not disobey him.
Besides...if he said he had no expectations, he couldn't even fool himself.
He raised his hand and made a few gestures. Before Pei Ji could ask, Chun Jian passed on the message, "Zheng Jun said it's okay."
"This is such a mess... Just scratching it twice is enough?" Pei Ji was a little bit unbelievable, but he still imitated him and did it clumsily. "It's quite simple. After all, you can write. Teach me every day, and it will be easier for us to get along."
He Zhiliao glanced at him quickly and then immediately lowered his head. Under Pei Ji's fiery gaze, he nodded slightly.
Pei Ji's face lit up with joy, but he only wished he could pick him up and spin around. He coughed lightly to hide the insignificant excitement on his face.
He continued to ramble, "I see it's lonely here, and Qingyuan is a side courtyard. Tomorrow I'll have the servants move all your things back. We can live together, and it will be more convenient for me to take care of you. Besides, there aren't many servants here, so it would be inconvenient for you to recuperate."
"No need." Harumi said suddenly.
Pei Ji let out a light click of his tongue with some impatience, and looked at him with a cold look in his eyes. Don't think that he wouldn't dare to attack him just because he was the little mute's personal servant.
Harumi said innocently, "It was Masa-kun who said no."
Pei Ji quickly lowered his head to look at the little mute again, and saw that he seemed to be waving his hands in resistance, and he was a little unhappy.
The main ruler of the family should naturally live in his own courtyard, and things like side courtyards should not exist.
I'll just go back and raze this dilapidated side yard to the ground.
"The side courtyard is not good, it's not as spacious as my main courtyard. Besides, when a couple is newly married, doesn't the wife eat and sleep with her husband?" Pei Ji coaxed patiently.
He Zhiliao shook his head slightly, made a few slow gestures, and then looked at Pei Ji with some sadness.
This person really had never taken him seriously and had even forgotten everything he had just said a few days ago.
At that time, I told him clearly and righteously that he should never get his heart, and that I would never treat him as my legitimate husband. I also said that I didn't want to see his disgusting face and asked him to hide... That's why he hurriedly moved into this side courtyard on the second day of his marriage.
Therefore, no other servants dared to follow.
After all, this is Pei Mansion, and it’s not He Zhiliao who has the final say.
Now, he actually dislikes this place.
Haru Jian said calmly, "Our young master said it's very quiet here. It's good to hide here and spend your days quietly. You won't cause any unhappiness to others."
This was definitely not what the little mute meant.
However, Chunjian is a loyal person, and his attitude is nothing more than speaking up for the little mute. If he really drags Chunjian away and beats him with a stick, the little mute will probably never be friends with him for the rest of his life.
But because of these words, Pei Ji also remembered what he had done before.
brute.
He cursed himself in his heart.
"Ah." He Zhiliao shook his head at Chun Jian, his gentle gaze carrying a hint of disapproval. How could he talk like that?
Chun Jian bowed, his words sincere and respectful, "Master, Madam has told you that you don't need to eat in the front hall these days. I will go to the small kitchen now."
"Are you chasing me away?" Pei Ji's sharp brows were lowered, and even though he didn't say anything else, people could sense a strong sense of solemnity.
Chun Jian immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I dare not."
He Zhiliao couldn't help but get nervous when he saw this scene. Chunjian was the only person who treated him well, and he didn't want to lose him too.
Thinking of this, he gently broke free from Pei Ji's hand and was about to get down to the ground, dragging his injured and painful body. If he also knelt down and begged for mercy, Pei Ji would probably not beat Chun Jian to death.
"What are you doing?" Pei Ji was startled by him and quickly grabbed his wrist. His other hand went around his injured back and supported his lower back. "You're injured, why are you moving around?"
"Ah!" He Zhiliao looked at him anxiously, his bright eyes full of begging and weakness. After realizing that his eyes had met his, he lowered his head timidly again.
You will be beaten.
Pei Ji's heart melted at the sight of this. If there was an ice mirror nearby, it would probably melt as well.
"I'm not angry, I'm not angry, don't worry..." Pei Ji quickly smiled and turned to look at Chun Jian, "Tell the people in the kitchen that I want to eat here too. They will come to do the work. You can leave."
Chun Jian naturally had to obey his orders, and he didn't dare to continue to stick his neck out and be arrogant, otherwise it would make his young master beg for mercy and feel sad.
Once Harumi left, they were the only two left in the room.
He Zhiliao felt uncomfortable. Apart from anything else, he had never been alone with a man like this before, let alone Pei Ji, who was his husband. At this moment, he was clinging to him tightly, not even letting go of his hand.
"Ah..." He Zhiliao said softly.
"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable sitting upright? Let me help you lie down. The bed here is too uncomfortable. I will send you some better ones tomorrow. If you don't want to go to the main courtyard, it's the same if I come to your place." Pei Ji carefully helped him lie down, still muttering to himself.
He Zhiliao didn't know what he was planning. His legs and feet were not working properly now, and he really couldn't withstand Pei Ji's bullying.
He lay down carefully, fearing that Pei Ji would do something bad and press on his wound...
Pei Ji noticed his caution and thought it was just the pain from his wound. He couldn't help but think of Yuan Rong, "The Pei Mansion is so close to the palace, we should be there by foot. Why did you delay for so long? I'll deal with him when he comes back!"
"Ah." He Zhiliao shook his head slightly. His injuries had already been examined by the court physician, so why bother going to the palace to invite the imperial physician, not to mention causing Yuanrong to be beaten and scolded.
"Don't you want me to deal with Yuan Rong?" Pei Ji couldn't help but sigh when he saw him nod. "You seem to care about him. Just now, I was chased out by your servant, so why don't you feel sorry for me?"
He Zhiliao carefully grabbed a piece of his clothes, with a little embarrassment on his face, and shook his head at him.
I don't feel sorry for Yuanrong.
How could I think of him like that? Saying he felt bad for the servant...wasn't that just an attempt to humiliate him?
Pei Ji couldn't bear to see him being so cautious, so he quickly held his hand, rubbed it in his palm, and said, "Okay, okay, I said something wrong, but you can always feel sorry for me, right?"
He Zhiliao nodded slightly, feeling distressed.
"Why are you so obedient——"
"Master, the imperial physician is here."
Before Pei Ji could finish praising him, Yuan Rong came in with the imperial physician.
I had asked the imperial physician to examine me when I just left the palace, and I had asked the court physician to examine me again when I returned home. They both said that it was just a flesh wound, with no damage to the bones or muscles, and that I just needed careful care to recover.
The doctor said, "Now that the weather is gradually warming up, you should be more careful with your back injury. Try not to get it wet, and don't use ice for the time being."
Pei Ji listened to him quietly and winked at Yuan Rong, who immediately asked the imperial physician to leave.
Those old guys who came out of the palace, huh.
"You heard it too. We can't use ice for the time being. How about I just fan you at night? I'll have them bring my things over later. It's convenient for us to live here together. What do you think?"
He Zhiliao hesitated and shook his head slightly. It was not convenient for him to serve his husband like this, so how could he let his husband serve him?
Pei Ji simply ignored his shake of head and laughed, "I knew you would think it was good too."
