Chapter 248: Pear Blossoms in the Rain (Part 1)
Cui Hejin looked deeply at Jiang Zhiluo with his picturesque and beautiful eyes, which contained a dark vortex, as if it wanted to swallow Jiang Zhiluo.
His hand held Jiang Zhiluo's hand tightly.
But he also carefully controlled the strength, for fear of hurting Jiang Zhiluo.
Seeing Cui Hejin like this, Jiang Zhiluo's heart softened.
Because of the memories of her previous life, she couldn't bear to see him anxious or unhappy.
She pretended to smile lightly and said, "Okay, I was just kidding you."
"It's getting late, and you've been tired all day. Go to bed."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo moved closer to the bed, patted the side of the bed, and asked Cui Hejin to come up.
After Cui Hejin lay down on the bed, Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief.
The oppressive feeling from Cui Hejin was still very strong just now.
Jiang Zhiluo lay on the bed and relaxed, and fell asleep in a short while.
Cui Hejin heard Jiang Zhiluo's shallow breathing and knew that she was asleep.
But he was not sleepy at all.
He turned slightly to look at her, and saw her clearly in the starlight that filtered through the window lattice.
He slowly sat up and looked at her seriously. After a while, he tucked her hair back and sighed softly, "What should I do with you?"
Jiang Zhiluo had no idea about this, she was soundly asleep.
But that night, Jiang Zhiluo came to the Pei family again in her dream and saw the scene of the Pei family.
However, the scene seen this time seemed to be in the past, when Cui Qingci and Pei Nanchen had just gotten married not long ago.
Because at this time the servants in the mansion were all very respectful to Cui Qingci, and no one dared to act rashly.
Cui Qingci's eyes and eyebrows were also bright.
It can be seen that she had a good life in the Pei family at the beginning.
Just when Cui Qingci was reading, someone reported that her cousin came to visit her.
Although Cui Qingci was confused, she still let her cousin Lu Qiuer in to see what she wanted.
"Qiu'er greets cousin-in-law!"
Lu Qiuer was wearing a plain long dress and looked frail. She bowed to Cui Qingci.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhiluo also saw Lu Qiuer's appearance clearly. Lu Qiuer had a melon-shaped face and was quite beautiful. In addition, she was wearing a plain white dress and looked weak, which easily aroused people's pity.
However, in terms of beauty and demeanor, she is naturally no match for Cui Qingci.
Cui Qingci is kind by nature and would not think the worst of others. She thought that the Pei family was as harmonious as the Cui family.
She said, "Cousin, there's no need to be so polite. What's the matter with you coming here?"
Lu Qiuer whispered, "It's okay, I just want to talk to my cousin's wife."
Cui Qingci then had tea and snacks served to entertain Lu Qiuer.
When Jiang Zhiluo saw this, she frowned and looked alert.
Lu Qiuer wouldn't come to talk to Cui Qingci for no reason. She must be planning something.
But nothing happened after Lu Qiuer returned.
But that night, Pei Nanchen found out that Lu Qiuer had been poisoned.
Pei Nanchen went straight to Cui Qingci's room and questioned her directly, "It was you who poisoned Qiu'er."
Cui Qingci looked at Pei Nanchen's cold expression, confused, "What do you mean by poisoning?"
Pei Nanchen looked at Cui Qingci with disappointment and said, "Qiu'er won't be a hindrance to you. Can't you tolerate her?"
"She is already weak, how could you be so vicious as to poison her."
Cui Qingci shook her head and said, "If it wasn't me, why would I poison Qiu'er?"
"Nanchen, I didn't do anything."
Pei Nanchen said: "Qiu'er got poisoned because she ate the snacks here. Who else could it be but you?"
"No one in this mansion will harm her."
Cui Qingci looked at Pei Nanchen in disbelief, "You don't believe me?"
"Just like you said, why would I poison Qiu'er? She is your cousin, so I naturally wouldn't harm her."
Pei Nanchen laughed at himself coldly and said, "Really?"
Obviously he didn't believe what Cui Qingci said.
"Qiu'er almost died. I need to investigate this matter thoroughly."
It was the first time that Cui Qingci saw Pei Nanchen look so cold and stern, as if the sword in his body was unsheathed.
But this sword was pointed at her.
This made Cui Qingci feel very uncomfortable.
But she comforted herself that Pei Nanchen just misunderstood, and the misunderstanding would be resolved as long as she knew that it was not her who poisoned him.
"Is Qiu'er okay?"
Pei Nanchen said: "Do you think she is okay?"
"If anything happens to her, I won't let anyone go."
Hearing this, Cui Qingci couldn't believe it.
No matter how stupid she is, she understands something.
She instinctively felt that Pei Nanchen had special feelings for his cousin.
Pei Nanchen immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the entire Qingzhu Courtyard.
Then a maid was found.
This maidservant was indeed serving Cui Qingci, but she did not bring this maidservant from the Cui family. Instead, she was given this maidservant by the Pei family.
The maid personally admitted that she was the one who poisoned the food. Although she did not say that it was Cui Qingci who ordered it, any discerning person could tell that this matter was related to Cui Qingci.
The maid's refusal to identify him made Pei Nanchen even more certain that it was Cui Qingci who poisoned her.
He ordered his men to deal with the maidservant and then left.
Pei Nanchen went to his cousin's yard to take care of her.
Jiang Zhiluo felt very disdainful when she saw this scene.
This Pei Nanchen indeed looked handsome, with deep and cold features.
Is it because of this face that Cui Qingci fell in love with Pei Nanchen?
Does she like this kind of bold and cold atmosphere?
Jiang Zhiluo came to Lu Qiuer's room with some guesses in her mind.
She was like a gust of wind, just like watching a movie, but the people here couldn't see her.
Lu Qiuer leaned weakly against the head of the bed, coughing constantly.
Pei Nanchen came to the bedside, looked at Lu Qiuer distressedly and said: "Cousin, I'm sorry, this is my fault, and I made you suffer."
Lu Qiu'er shook her head weakly and said, "Cousin, you don't have to blame yourself. It was my fault. I'm afraid I'll die like this and never see you again."
When Lu Qiuer said this, tears welled up in her eyes, and a tear fell instantly, making her look like a pear blossom in the rain.
Endearing.
Jiang Zhiluo watched this scene and sighed, "It would be a shame if he didn't act with such acting skills."
Pei Nanchen looked at Lu Qiuer like this and blamed himself even more. "I'm sorry, don't blame your cousin."
"No, how dare I, cousin, don't worry, I... I don't blame my cousin's wife, I won't say anything, cough cough..."
Pei Nanchen frowned tightly and said, "Cousin, I'll treat you well. I'll have someone find you a good marriage. You can live a peaceful life there. With the Pei family protecting you, no one will dare to let you suffer any injustice."
"No, cousin, cousin, please don't chase me away."
"Brother, I won't get in the way of my cousin's wife. It's my fault. I made my cousin's wife unhappy. Woo woo..."
"Cousin, I beg you, don't do this to me..."
Seeing Lu Qiuer's weak and pleading look, Pei Nanchen softened his heart.
"Well, if you want to stay in the mansion, then stay."
Pei Nanchen didn't stay long. After leaving Lu Qiuer's place, he went to the study and didn't go to look for Cui Qingci.
