This elongated ending tone gradually lingered in Pei Jian's heart, until the rustling sound of changing clothes came from the inner room, which brought his thoughts back.
But as soon as he came back to his senses, he began to feel uncomfortable again.
I thought I had seen through the love between men and women, but now...
He subconsciously raised his hand and pinched his ears which were a little hot.
It's really crazy.
On the other side, Pei Kangsheng and Xu Ying were talking to each other by the Qingque River not far from the banquet palace.
When Xu Ying came, he deliberately chose a place with a rockery for shelter.
After all, Tu Qingyu hasn't gotten into trouble yet, so she shouldn't be too blatant. It would be bad if she was suspected when Tu Qingyu got into trouble.
"Why is Pei Lang looking at me like that?" She stood in front of Pei Kangsheng, lowering her head shyly.
She had been lying down for some time, and it was impossible for the Xu family to have a steady supply of supplements to nourish her body.
Therefore, she is now much thinner than before the accident, but she has makeup on her face. She looks so shy and timid that Pei Kangsheng can see some of the meaning of the sick Xi Shi.
But he was still a little bothered by what happened earlier. "Miss Xu, are you feeling better these days?"
"Xu, Miss Xu?" Xu Ying looked up sadly. "Pei Lang used to call me Ying'er, but now he's so distant?"
Her eyes were slightly red. "Or does Pei Lang also think that I was the one who tampered with the horse farm incident?"
"That's not what I meant." Seeing that she was about to cry, Pei Kangsheng denied it again and again, "I just want the truth."
"The truth..." Xu Ying laughed self-deprecatingly, "I want to know the truth too."
She lowered her head and looked at her calves, tears streaming down her face. "I also want to know why there were so many people at the racecourse, but it had to be me? Why me?"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Pei Kangsheng and said, “In the end, I was covered in bruises, and they still wanted to throw dirty water on me.
Pei Lang, in this world, you are the only one who can make me feel a little warmth, but even you, even you don’t believe me…”
As she said this, her whole body was shaking.
Pei Kangsheng was so distressed that he had no time to ask any questions.
He immediately looked around and saw that there was indeed no one coming here, so he reached out and hugged the person in his arms.
"Don't cry, I believe you, of course I do." Seeing that she didn't struggle in his arms, he began to pat her back again. "It's just that the evidence was given by my father, so I can't help but ask more questions."
"Father..." Xu Ying murmured, "Speaking of Master Pei, don't you think that Master Pei treats Tu Qingyu very differently?"
"Indeed, it's just because she has a good father."
"Is that all? But when I looked at her today, the beads on her wrist looked very familiar."
"Zhu Zi, I didn't notice that." He patted Xu Ying's back, "Okay, don't think too much about it. Look how thin you are now. The most urgent thing is to take care of your health."
"Yeah." Xu Ying nodded, and after a while she spoke again in a sullen tone, "Pei Lang, what are we doing now?"
Pei Kangsheng paused, then gently pushed the person away, put his hands on the person's shoulders, and looked at the person in front of him with deep affection.
"Ying'er, don't worry, I will always find a way to get you to my side."
"What can I do? Your position as the legal wife belongs to Tu Qingyu. The only solution you can think of is..." She bit her lip, unable to speak. After a while of worrying, she spoke lightly, "My Xu family will never be a concubine."
Her method is still the best. It’s unknown how long we have to wait for this man to take action.
In fact, she could guess a little bit that he could think of the best way, but it also depended on whether there would be any opportunity to do it after the marriage.
But she didn't want to marry him and be his concubine.
Even if a concubine is the legal wife, she is no longer the original wife.
Pei Kangsheng was not angry, he just felt that she was indeed not like an ordinary woman, she had integrity.
His eyes were firm, "Trust me, I will make your wish come true..."
Before he could finish the last word, he felt as if something had pricked the back of his neck, and the next moment his head was spinning.
"Pei, Pei Lang, what's wrong with you, Pei Lang, I..."
Xu Ying realized something was wrong and fell down without finishing her sentence.
When they woke up again, both of them had lost their minds because they had inhaled too much aphrodisiac.
The illegitimate son of Earl Xin'an was also being threatened. When he came out of a dark room in a daze, he still had the note in his hand.
However, in his memory now, the person who gave him the paper contract was no longer Tu Qingyu, but Xu Ying, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
But for some reason, Xu Ying changed her mind.
When he saw Xu Ying and Pei Kangsheng doing that in the side hall, anger instantly surged in his heart and he screamed.
There were several palace maids and eunuchs around who were specially left behind by Pei Jian. His shout quickly attracted people's attention.
"Hurry, hurry and find the Queen Mother, and, and..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The maid Pei Jian had left behind glanced at the illegitimate son of the Earl of Xin'an's mansion and said, "Sir, may I..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the young man ran away, muttering to himself.
"That voice... is that her? She was the one who made the appointment, so why is she looking for someone else? This little bitch is so restless..."
The palace where the banquet was held was still very lively at this time. The young men and women were playing balls and appreciating poems. Tu Qingyu had returned here a long time ago and was having fun with Yu Qi and the others.
Pei Jian sat on the chair next to the Queen Mother, sipping his tea with a calm expression.
"Xingzhi, has the matter of Yanzhou been dealt with?" The Queen Mother asked Pei Jian, turning slightly sideways.
Yanzhou has been experiencing continuous rain recently and has been the most prone to flooding in previous years.
Early this morning, Pei Jian summoned all the ministers and the little emperor to discuss this matter.
Pei Jian nodded slightly, "It has been taken care of. His Majesty will be here soon."
"I heard... you came out of the Qinzheng Palace in a hurry, but what happened?" She was a little nervous when she asked this question, without any of the calmness and composure that an empress dowager should usually have.
She always felt that something important had happened somewhere she didn't know about.
Especially when she saw Pei Jian and the youngest daughter of the Tu family appear at the same time again, she became even more panicked.
Pei Jian looked ahead with an unclear expression, then said calmly, "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Shi from the Earl's Mansion rushed in.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress live forever!" He looked up and saw Pei Jian sitting next to him. He was so scared that he lay down again. "Greetings to the Duke of Dingguo."
The Queen Mother frowned, "Why are you so panicked?"
Even if there was something wrong, the palace ladies or maids should have been notified. How could someone just barge in like that?
What's going on with this guard today?
