Chapter 125 The Thoughts That Dare Not Say Out Loud
"Don't worry about that great scholar, Miss Song San. He is not the prince's teacher." Pei Ji smiled faintly. "He only taught the prince for a short time, but later left because of family problems. Strictly speaking, he cannot be considered the prince's teacher. If anyone in the capital knows about him, Miss Song San can ask Yao Liang and find out."
"Yao Liang?"
"Yes." Pei Ji continued, "This man had the same experience as Young Master Song. He was admitted to high school two years ago. I believe that Young Master Song will listen to some of his words."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Pei for reminding me."
"I will help you check on Fengyi. As for the Bai family..."
"I've asked Tian'er to keep an eye on the Bai family. I've already gained some preliminary knowledge of some of the Bai family's affairs. I think it's only a matter of time before I find something to hold against them."
"Okay." Pei Ji's eyes revealed some appreciation.
She is so insightful and intelligent, and has an execution ability that is not typical of men. It is no wonder that those people in the Song family often suffer losses at her hands.
"Sea transportation will start soon."
Song Ci was contemplating her next move when she suddenly heard this nonsensical remark and looked up. Their eyes met, and Pei Ji's tone was slightly inquiring. "Miss Song San's stockpiled goods, along with the shop space at the dock, will likely see their prices skyrocket soon."
"You, you know everything."
"I'm in charge of shipping. Miss Song's actions are hard to miss. She bought five or six shops of varying sizes within a few days and stockpiled a lot of goods. This has long been noticed."
Song Ci's heart tightened. She was still not cautious enough. She thought she had done things secretly enough, but she was still discovered.
"That...."
"Don't worry. I've already erased all traces, and no one will trace it back to you."
At this moment, Song Ci really wanted to ask, was it because of the bracelet on her hand? What secret did the bracelet hide? Why did the other party want to help her like this?
This doubt troubled her for a long time, and she couldn't help asking, "Why, why are you helping me like this?"
Pei Ji met Song Ci's clear eyes, and suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
At first, it was because of the kindness in the early years that helped, but what happened later?
Why did he continue to help Song Ci? He kept a tight watch, sent trusted men to help him out of danger time and time again. This had long since gone beyond the realm of repaying a favor, so why?
Pei Ji's eyes dimmed slightly, and the reason that was on the tip of his tongue suddenly stopped coming out. He blurted out words that made him regret for a long time.
"You helped me, so I should help you. There's no other reason."
The anticipation in Song Ci's eyes suddenly vanished, and she murmured, "That's right. Master Pei doesn't owe me anything anymore."
The two of them were silent, and Alin was secretly worried behind them!
It's obvious that he has a good impression of Miss Song San, but the words he said sound as if he has a deep hatred for her!
After receiving the news, Song Ci stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly saw the hairpin on his head, which was the one she had given him.
Pei Ji also noticed it, and his eyes looked a little unnatural.
"It really looks good when worn by Master Pei."
After saying that, the man walked out.
Ah Lin couldn't help but said, "Master! Miss Song is gone!"
Seeing that he still hadn't responded, A Lin almost jumped up and down, "Master! They've left so far that they're almost invisible."
Pei Ji endured it again and again, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves. Should he chase after her now? What would he say if he did? He thought of his body. He didn't know how long he could live. Pei Ji was a mess. If he got involved with Song Ci, he would only bring trouble to the other party.
Besides, Song Ci and the Song family are already complicated enough.
He shouldn't, and couldn't, be so selfish as to drag the other party into facing all this that happened to the Song family.
Finally, Song Ci's figure disappeared.
A Lin was stunned and speechless. He couldn't understand. His young master clearly had some feelings for Miss Song San, so why did the other party speak so coldly and heartlessly when asking the question, as if the two of them were just helping each other and nothing else.
"Let's go back." Pei Ji said tiredly. He stood up, pulled his cloak closer, and slowly left.
...
In the carriage, Wanxiang felt sorry for her young lady as she looked at her lost look.
I had already cursed Pei Ji thousands of times in my heart.
The car was very quiet, and after a while, Song Ci finally calmed down.
The time they had spent together these days had made her mistakenly believe that Pei Ji also had some feelings for her. But his response today proved her mistake.
Since that's not the case, she should let go of these thoughts as soon as possible.
Inside the room, there were some snacks and a hairpin on the table.
"Who sent this?"
Qiao Xianglan explained, "Your second brother bought this outside. I heard everyone has it."
"You have them all?" Song Ci picked up the hairpin and took a look. It was exquisitely made and very valuable. It was obvious that it had been carefully selected.
"Wanxiang, go find out what Song Yong gave to other people."
"yes."
The Song family is not big, and Wanxiang came back soon. "The eldest lady is a bottle of hair oil, and the second lady is the latest silk flower and a handkerchief."
Hair oil, silk flowers and handkerchiefs.
What you give yourself is a valuable and exquisite hairpin?
Song Ci just felt disgusted, "Take this hairpin back to him. Tell him I don't like it. Thank you for his kindness, but there's no need to do this."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
She was glad that Qiao Xianglan was out and didn't hear any of this. If she had only been thinking about Song Yong, she would have been worried even more.
..
"Give me back my hairpin?" Song Yong's face was full of amusement.
Wanxiang: "Yes, my mistress said that we cannot accept such valuable items from the Second Young Master."
"Can't?" He said in a gloomy tone, "I still don't want to."
Looking at his expression, Wanxiang felt that this man was indeed dangerous.
Seeing that Wanxiang didn't say anything, Song Yong raised his hand and threw the hairpin out. The hairpin hit the ground and broke into pieces.
"If she doesn't want it, then no one can wear it."
Wanxiang heard a hint of gritted teeth in his tone and shuddered. This man was too dangerous. The lady must stay away from him.
After Wanxiang left, Song Yong looked at the broken hairpins on the ground and said, "So what if you don't want to? I will always find a way to get you."
Wanxiang returned to the third room's courtyard, sweating profusely and anxiously recounting the scene that had just occurred.
Speaking of Song Yong's expression, she trembled all over. "Miss, you didn't see it. The Second Young Master was so angry that he even smashed the hairpin."
"Don't worry about it. Song Yong doesn't dare to do anything now."
Wanxiang was worried, "My servant is worried. Miss, you should be more careful. Looking at the expression of the Second Young Master, something is not right."
"He dares not show his dirty thoughts openly."
