Chapter 58 That thing was chopped off
"It's all fine now."
The effects of the medicine had already worn off by the time I took a cold shower.
Yu Hai once said that the effects of many medicines would weaken after two hours, and the longer the time passed, the less effective the medicine would become in the body.
In addition, the body has certain antibodies and cold water intervention.
I've managed to control myself now, and I think I'll feel better after taking another cold shower when I get back.
"Really?" Pei Yanchuan asked. "Didn't that Hai guy say..."
Pei Yanchuan was unsure how to begin.
He only remembered the second half of what Yu Hai had said halfway through his sentence.
Did she... relieve herself?
"That's...that's good."
Jiang Wan Ning knew that Yu Hai was deliberately teasing Pei Yan Chuan, and thinking that Pei Yan Chuan would understand, she did not explain.
Jiang Wanning stood up, walked to the coffee table, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a couple of sips.
I just took a cold shower and drank ginger tea, so my mouth feels a bit bitter.
What happened to your arm?
Pei Yanchuan suddenly grabbed Jiang Wanning's hand.
"Is this what Your Highness means?"
Jiang Wan Ning looked at her arm, which she had stabbed with a hairpin. It wasn't serious; the bleeding had stopped.
It seems Pei Yanchuan was too nervous to notice.
He then gave a brief explanation.
"Your Highness need not worry, Peony has already taken care of it for me."
The worry in Pei Yanchuan's eyes gradually subsided.
“Your Highness…the Crown Prince…” Jiang Wan Ning tentatively began.
After all, he was the son of a deceased comrade-in-arms, and Pei Yanchuan was a man of deep affection.
She was really unsure how Pei Yanchuan would deal with Pei Anqing.
Furthermore, since an imperial edict had just been issued explaining the relationship between the two, everyone assumed that Pei Yanchuan was already in good health.
She also got engaged to herself.
If Pei Yanchuan were to kill the person directly, it would inevitably give others leverage against him.
He was said to be ungrateful and that after recovering his health, he cruelly murdered his adopted son.
As for how Pei Anqing treated him, rumors will spread in the direction that the beneficiaries want.
What's more, he had also blinded Pei Yanchuan in one eye.
If Pei Yanchuan dies, how can we find out who's behind him?
Whether the person Jiang Wanru mentioned behind the scenes is the same person Pei Yanchuan was talking about today still needs to be investigated.
"I will certainly take charge of this matter for you." Pei Yanchuan's eyes always revealed a hint of coldness. "Out of consideration for his father's kindness, I will spare his life."
But that doesn't mean we'll let him off the hook.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Wanning told Pei Yanchuan what Pei Anqing had said to her that day.
"Your Highness, I believe the Crown Prince has already colluded with outsiders, and we must be on guard."
"He didn't gain anything today either, only losing an eye. Your Highness only needs to punish him in a mild way."
"Release the person again, and then send someone to keep an eye on them."
"Let's find out who's behind him before we talk about anything else."
"I will handle this matter. You should focus on recovering from your injuries."
Pei Yanchuan said, "I will send secret guards to follow you in the future."
He dared not imagine what the consequences would be if Pei Anqing succeeded today.
Jiang Wan Ning nodded obediently, "Oh, right."
"Those two servants seem to be quite something. Your Highness should investigate them; you might find something out."
"good."
After they finished speaking, they were silent for a moment.
The room was eerily quiet, especially as Jiang Wan Ning recalled what her hand had just touched...
Pei Yanchuan recalled the rumors circulating outside that he was incapable... and didn't know how to explain himself.
Did she believe it or not?
She was in a daze just now, and she probably didn't realize when her little paw touched her.
What would she think if she believed it?
Both of them were lost in their own thoughts, and their faces flushed red.
"Well... it's getting late, I should head back home now."
"good."
Pei Yanchuan escorted Jiang Wanning out of the house and ran into four people squatting in the yard eating shaved ice.
Yu Hai has been enjoying the various delicious snacks and delicacies he's had these past few days.
I successfully infiltrated their circle.
Except for that grumpy girl who likes to eat her own food and loves to scold herself for being shameless.
Where is Zhizhi?
Jiang Wanning spoke first.
The four people stood up immediately upon hearing the sound.
The other three all looked at Mo Ran, who had just joined.
"Why are you looking at me?" Mo Ran asked, looking bewildered. "I just came up from the dungeon."
"Didn't you send the person back to the Shen residence?"
"I don't have the time for that; I don't even have enough for one prince..."
After they finished speaking, they all seemed to realize something and stood there stunned for a moment.
He dropped the ice cream and rushed quickly towards the direction of Shi Ding Lou.
After an incense stick has burned.
The group stood in a neat row in front of Shen Ruzhi.
With her head down and clutching the hem of her clothes, only Pei Yanchuan was present.
"Your Highness, I understand you're anxious about Ningning, but couldn't you at least let your men see me?"
Shen Ruzhi wrapped her arms around herself and said, "Can't you really see me, such a big person, being tied up like that?"
"If you don't come soon, I'll be tied up and gagged all night."
Today, Pei Anqing has booked the entire second floor of Shidinglou Restaurant.
None of those people from Shidinglou came back up.
She lay there, looking so fresh and beautiful, next to the two corpses.
“Zhizhi...the Prince.”
"Don't beg me for mercy. I haven't even said anything to you yet. You just tried to commit suicide."
Don't you know that it's better to live a miserable life than to die? Even if he... did something to you, just consider it as hiring a male prostitute.
"But speaking of which, how do you survive?"
"this..."
"That's not important!" Shen Ruzhi waved her hand. "What's important is that you're not dead. It's been so long and you're only now remembering me."
Yes, yes, yes.
Pei Yanchuan leaned against Jiang Wanning, standing without saying a word.
Although what Shen Ruzhi said just now sounded harsh, nothing else mattered compared to her death.
"And you two, don't you know how many people came out?" Shen Ruzhi pointed at Shaoyao and Yu Hai.
"Ningning has already gone back, but didn't she even ask me about it?"
"And you! What are you trying to hide?!" Shen Ruzhi pointed at Mo Ran, "Wasn't it you who came with your prince back then?"
"He left with such grace and efficiency."
"I've been mumbling to myself for ages, and you haven't even glanced at me."
Mo Ran lowered her head even further.
Ultimately, it was his negligence that caused this.
Shen Ruzhi's gaze shifted to Mo Qing.
"After you've finished talking about them, you're not allowed to talk about me anymore," Mo Qing said. "I really didn't participate."
Shen Ruzhi glared at her.
Jiang Wan Ning stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "It's alright, Zhi Zhi, it was my fault."
Shen Ruzhi glared at Jiang Wanning, "Go away and stand in the corner as punishment."
He then approached Pei Yanchuan and said, "Your Highness."
"You can't just let your adopted son get away with something like this, can you?"
"We should at least make it up to our Ningning, and it would be best if we could get rid of that thing of his."
Shen Ruzhi extended two fingers, making a scissor shape.
"So that he won't always try to bully our Ningning."
"Zhizhi." Jiang Wanning tugged at Chen Ruzhi.
Shen Ruzhi ignored her and continued, "And your shameless adopted son stole the courtyard that Ningning had her eye on. Go and get it back for me."
