Chapter 13 Chun Qiong
“Pah—”
A tear welled up from Shen Yuning's peach blossom eyes. She turned her face away and said in a deep voice, "I will go, don't rush me!"
"General Pei, is there anything else? If not, please let go of my hand. I'm leaving."
Pei Yanzhou's palm trembled and his heart was in turmoil again.
Why did she cry again because I bullied her?
Why do you have to pretend to be strong even when you are crying?
What's wrong with her giving in to me? Can't she learn from Ruyan?
Maybe I'd like to hold off for a few more days?
Maybe I can still...
Pei Yanzhou stared at her closely, and finally reluctantly loosened his hand little by little.
After the girl turned around, he trotted a few steps behind her.
The big hand raised and lowered, then lowered and raised again, and finally retracted its hand with the remaining rationality.
Let’s go, let’s go. Once the divorce papers come out, she won’t be able to find excuses to pester me anymore, and I’ll have some peace!
Pei Yanzhou was thinking awkwardly, when suddenly, a hostile gaze shot towards him from the depths of the bamboo forest.
Chu Ruyan took it all in, and her face gradually distorted.
"What a loving scene! If I hadn't come today, Pei Yanzhou would have chased me out, right?"
"Hug her, hug her, kiss her. Are they going to stay at Yuequan Temple tonight?"
"On a dark and windy night, I played the zither and listened to Zen, our ears rubbing against each other, so tender and melancholy!"
Chu Ruyan smiled coldly and repeatedly rubbed a snow-white pill in her hand.
There are some special things added in here, which are enough to make Pei Yanzhou confused and excited tonight.
Based on her understanding of men, she felt that Pei Yanzhou would not even wait until the day of breaking off the engagement before falling in love with Shen Yuning.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to seize the opportunity and consummate the marriage with Pei Yanzhou first.
Everyone says that she is the daughter of the prime minister, that she lives a life of luxury and is loved by everyone... But only she herself knows what kind of life she has led in the prime minister's mansion since she was a child.
After my mother died, my father soon remarried and gave birth to a crazy and pretentious brother like Chu Mingzhao.
Her father always locked her in a secret room and whipped her again and again:
"Either I enter the palace and become a concubine to the old emperor, or I find a powerful son-in-law to help me!"
"The Chu family doesn't support idlers. If you can't bring benefits to the family, you might as well die!"
"Why are only civil officials delivering visiting cards to you? Are there no military commanders? What's the point of me supporting you?"
Chu Ruyan knew from a young age that she had to find a backer, otherwise, she would never have a good day.
She wants to attach herself to a military general, a military general with utmost power!
Moreover, it cannot be old or ugly, otherwise I won’t be able to eat it!
Undoubtedly, Pei Yanzhou is her best target - young, handsome, the commander of the Xuanjia Guard, and the nephew of Emperor Xiao Sheng.
Who else has a more prominent background than him and has more say in the court than him?
Oh, so what if he's engaged? So what if he's not into women? Didn't I trick him into it?
Chu Ruyan thought so, curled up a sinister smile, and slowly walked towards Pei Yanzhou.
Today, she is not wearing any makeup or fancy clothes... She looks gloomy and scary under the mottled shadows of the trees.
Pei Yanzhou was still staring at Shen Yuning's pitiful back when a cold hand suddenly reached out to him.
——Grabbed his clothes tightly!
"Brother Yanzhou is in such a good mood, are you really going to get married with Shen Yuning under the marriage tree?"
"Have you forgotten Yan'er? Have you forgotten your promise to me?"
Pei Yanzhou's pupils shrank suddenly, he turned his head and was suddenly startled.
Chu Ruyan was dressed simply today and had no entourage.
Without the grand attire of a daughter of the prime minister and the elaborate accompaniment of maids and servants, she looked just like everyone else.
His face was pale and his brows were slightly raised, which was a bit creepy.
Pei Yanzhou was displeased, "Yan'er, why are you here?"
He quickly glanced at Shen Yuning in the distance, and only felt relieved when he found that she had gone far away. "I came here today to make things clear with Shen Yuning, not to meet her privately."
"Brother Yanzhou, do you think I will believe you?" Chu Ruyan said sarcastically, "I saw it all. The two of you are stuck together."
"You're holding her hand tightly, Brother Yanzhou, do you want to hug her?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Pei Yanzhou looked at her impatiently and raised his voice a lot.
Chu Ruyan wasn't afraid of him either. She sneered, "Brother Yanzhou knows whether I'm talking nonsense or not. If I hadn't come today, you would have chased her and coaxed her into the bridal chamber, right?"
"Yan'er!" Pei Yanzhou frowned and got angry at her for the first time.
Logically speaking, the Chu family has strict rules, and Ruyan is simple-minded, so she would never say such inappropriate words.
The almond-shaped eyes looked at her suspiciously, scrutinizing her for the first time.
Chu Ruyan was startled and woke up instantly.
She knew that she had been impulsive just now, her eyes turned red, and she quickly stood on tiptoe and hooked Pei Yanzhou's neck.
"Brother Yanzhou, Yan'er is too afraid of losing you!"
Her soft body rubbed against his arms repeatedly, her voice soft: "Brother Yanzhou, please consummate our marriage! Let me feel at ease!"
"Only in this way can I be sure that you won't abandon me!"
When Pei Yanzhou saw people crying, his expression softened slightly.
"Yan'er, stop making trouble!"
He subconsciously peeled the person off of him and took a step back. "I'm not that kind of person. I won't do anything to hurt you until the day we get married."
"But what if..."
“Nothing can happen!”
Pei Yanzhou said seriously: "Chen Yuning has already agreed to break off the engagement with me. I will go to the emperor to ask for permission soon. Don't worry."
He dodged as if avoiding a disaster, his impatience obvious in his eyes.
Chu Ruyan felt a chill in her heart, and she leaned towards him again. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe Shen Yuning."
"Brother Yanzhou is so good, how could she be willing to let him go so easily?"
Pei Yanzhou's eyes deepened. Yes, how could she be willing to let go so easily?
You actually don't try to buy a few more days? Say a few more words to keep me here?
Oh, after all, no one loves me as much as Yan'er does.
Chu Ruyan said cautiously: "I was jealous and said nonsense because I love you so much."
"I will know!"
He became friendly again and gently stroked her head with his big hand.
Chu Ruyan's heart was relieved. A royal prince with extraordinary power... She had to treat such a man with care.
The fox's eyes gradually darkened. Suddenly, Chu Ruyan stood on tiptoe and, while Pei Yanzhou was relaxing his guard, quickly put the white sugar pill with "ingredients" in her hand into his mouth.
The charm drug was so potent that once it touched Pei Yanzhou's tongue, it immediately turned into water and slid down his throat.
"Yan'er, you..." Pei Yanzhou was shocked, his whole body burning with heat. "Yan'er, what did you give me to eat?"
"Chun Qiong!"
Chu Ruyan smiled sinisterly and said, "I'm sorry, I really like Brother Yanzhou too much."
"I will wait for you at the villa on the outskirts of the city tonight. I won't leave until you show up."
"Brother Yanzhou, if we don't find a woman to detoxify this medicine...it will damage the root."
