Chapter 131: Straight Man



[Why? He is not good at that? ]

[No, there is no problem with both of them. It is not a marriage alliance. Lord Pei also likes Madam Pei very much.] The system predicted several questions that Jiang Yueyang would ask later.

Pei Yan: "...Master Xiao Jiang, this hairpin is too valuable. I cannot accept it."

Although the hairpin that Jiang Yueyang gave away was only a silver hairpin, it was solid.

It is estimated to be around five or six taels.

You know, Pei Yan is a seventh-rank editor, and his monthly salary is only four taels.

"I can take it, I can take it." Jiang Yueyang stuffed the hairpin into his hand, "These are my jobs, so I have to pay you for your help. Besides, even if you copy books for the bookstore, you can get paid."

"Copying books for a bookstore only costs a few dozen coins..."

"Same, I'm more generous." Jiang Yueyang pretended to be unhappy, "If you don't accept it, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Pei Yan accepted it. He was not a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

How many people in this world don’t love yellow and white things?

Jiang Yueyang smiled with satisfaction when she saw him accept the hairpin.

At the same time, she also asked: [Xiaogua, why haven't Lord Pei and Madam Pei consummated their marriage? Is it because Madam Pei doesn't want to? ]

[No, Madam Pei is going crazy wanting to consummate the marriage! ]

Pei Yan's eyes widened in shock, "!!!"

[Why is that? ] Jiang Yueyang was confused.

At this time, lunch was served.

Jiang Yueyang said politely, "Master Pei, please stay and eat with us."

"Okay!" Pei Yan responded straightforwardly.

Jiang Yueyang was stunned. She was just... being polite.

But the words were already out, and she couldn't go back on her word.

Two lunches were placed on the dining table. Jiang Yueyang's lunch had an extra meat dish than Pei Yan's.

“Why are our dishes different?”

Pei Yan smiled and replied, "His Majesty said that Master Xiao Jiang should eat more and better while he is still growing, so he ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare an extra portion of meat for you."

Jiang Yueyang said "oh" in a light tone, but the curve of her mouth and her inner thoughts betrayed her.

[To be honest, your Majesty is actually a pretty good person, except that he occasionally loses his temper and acts foolishly.]

Emperor Yuan: Do you have to add that last sentence?

Pei Yan didn't care about what Emperor Yuan was like. He just wanted to understand the meaning of the sentence "Mrs. Pei is going crazy in her desire to consummate her marriage."

The system hummed in agreement, "Overall, it's good. Host, do you want to hear what Master Pei has to say now?"

[Yes, yes, yes, it goes well with rice. 】

Jiang Yueyang pushed her portion of meat and vegetables to Pei Yan, "My appetite is limited, Master Pei, please eat more and don't waste it."

Pei Yan responded blankly, his mind not on the food.

The system said: [Mrs. Pei is Mr. Pei’s white moonlight, but the white moonlight had loved someone else before. Moreover, she lost her virginity and got pregnant. The scumbag didn’t want to take responsibility, so he married another girl. When Mr. Pei found out, he came to ask for her hand in marriage without saying a word.]

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but secretly glance at Pei Yan. Lord Pei is truly in love!

[Since he loves her so much, why doesn't he consummate the marriage with Madam Pei? Since he can marry Madam Pei, he shouldn't mind that she is not a virgin, right? ]

Pei Yan picked up a piece of fat and put it in her mouth to chew, then lowered her eyes and answered secretly, "Because the person in her heart is not me."

The system explained: [I don’t mind, but Master Pei feels that Madam Pei doesn’t like him, and doesn’t want to take advantage of her. At the beginning, Madam Pei did not like him, but later she slowly fell in love with him.]

Pei Yan paused for a moment, love... in love?

【Then what? 】

[Then Madam Pei began to take the initiative towards Master Pei, but unfortunately she spoke awkwardly. She clearly wanted to devote herself to Master Pei, but what she said was fulfilling her wife's obligations.

Lord Pei was very angry when he heard this and said that he married her because he liked her, not for her body! 】

Jiang Yueyang sighed, "This is how misunderstandings arise. I think it's better for both parties to be honest in their relationships."

[Host, do you think you are honest enough? 】

[Am I not honest enough? ]

The system laughed, [Yes, compared to the girls here, she is very frank. ]

Pei Yan was extremely anxious and wanted to quickly figure out the twists and turns, because he felt like he had missed a lot.

Jiang Yueyang curled her lips. If she played straight like she did in modern times, she might scare people away.

[Stop talking nonsense and continue.]

The system continued: [Mrs. Pei knew that Lord Pei had misunderstood her meaning, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to bring up the matter of consummating the marriage.

Later, she thought of a way. She invited Lord Pei to drink and got herself drunk. She thought that under the influence of alcohol, Lord Pei would be confused and infatuated, right?

When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in bed neatly dressed, with no one around me.

Mrs. Pei was almost mad at the time. She washed herself, got herself drunk, and packed herself up in front of Lord Pei, but Lord Pei didn't realize that this was an opportunity he had deliberately created. 】

【Hahaha……】

Jiang Yueyang knew that she shouldn't laugh at this time, but she really couldn't help it.

[This is similar to the joke on the Internet: "If I'm not drunk, how can I have a chance?" Unfortunately, it doesn't work on a gentleman like Lord Pei.]

Pei Yan: “…”

Pei Yan thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. It turned out that she wanted to get herself and me drunk that day!

But I can never get drunk even if I drink a lot!

System: [That’s what she thought, but she underestimated Lord Pei’s patience and his love for her.

However, she did not give up. She tried every possible way to consummate the marriage every day, but the results were somewhat funny.

The system couldn't help laughing a few times when it said this. [Mrs. Pei pretended to be afraid of the dark, so Lord Pei lit a room full of candles for her. Mrs. Pei pretended to have a nightmare, so Lord Pei sat at the head of the bed and watched over her all night.

Mrs. Pei pretended to be sick and took off her clothes, so Lord Pei tied her hands and covered her with three or four quilts.

Finally, Mrs. Pei cruelly used that medicine on herself. As a result, Lord Pei would rather throw her into ice water than touch her.

Because he felt that Mrs. Pei was acting like that under the influence of drugs, and he didn't want Mrs. Pei to regret it when she woke up the next day.

But Mrs. Pei didn't know that he was thinking this way, and thought that he minded that she was not innocent. Even if he liked her, he still minded. 】

Jiang Yueyang shook her head, [It's a pity that Mrs. Pei has done so much, but Lord Pei, a straight man, doesn't understand! ]

Pei Yan slowly put down his chopsticks and put the unfinished food into the food box.

He stood up under Jiang Yueyang's gaze, "Master Jiang, I'm done eating, take your time."

Jiang Yueyang nodded blankly and watched him walk out.

As soon as Pei Yan walked out of Jiang Yueyang's office, he turned and walked towards Kong Jijiu's office.

Kong Jijiu was still having lunch at this time.

The last second, Pei Yan's face was calm.

The next second, Pei Yan rushed to Kong Jijiu with a sad face, "Master Jijiu, I want to ask for leave!"
