Chapter 13: Apology
"I misunderstood you." Pei Jingzhou said.
"What did Second Master misunderstand?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked knowingly.
Pei Jingzhou paused and said, "I thought your parents and family treated you very well, so that's why you developed your current personality, but in the end..."
Jiang Zhaoyue continued, "It turns out they treat me very badly."
yes.
As soon as she entered the Chengning Marquis' Mansion, Wu deliberately pushed Jiang Zhaoyue aside to provoke him and prove that he was a "petty-tempered" person. However, after Jiang Zhaoyue exposed her purpose, she still tried to make excuses.
Jiang Shihong couldn't see the truth clearly and blindly agreed with Wu.
They said that Jiang Zhaoyue and Wu had a better relationship, but in fact they didn't care about Jiang Zhaoyue's growth at all. They just knew that Jiang Zhaoyue was smart and cute when he was a child.
So what happens after childhood?
Jiang Wanxue is a person with impure thoughts. She throws herself into the arms of her brother-in-law in front of her own sister. Where does she put her own sister Jiang Zhaoyue?
Jiang Junyi even said, "Brother-in-law, teach her a lesson." Does he treat Jiang Zhaoyue as a relative?
…
One thing after another that happened in the Chengning Marquis Mansion proved that the entire Chengning Marquis Mansion did not regard Jiang Zhaoyue as a family member, let alone raising her.
Pei Jingzhou suddenly remembered what she said in the morning: "It turns out that Lord Pei from the Ministry of Personnel speaks so carelessly."
He was angry at that sentence, because she spoke rudely to her parents, because she threw a tantrum, and he was angry and frustrated...
Now I know that I was really careless, and I feel guilty: "Yes, I thought you were an ungrateful person."
Jiang Zhaoyue's life has many similarities with the original owner. Their biological mother died early, and their father and stepmother ignored them, so they grew up with their grandparents.
However, she was luckier than the original owner because her grandfather and grandmother died when she was thirteen, and by then she had already acquired basic ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Therefore, she did not grow up in a wrong direction under the suppression of her father and stepmother, or the exclusion of her stepbrothers and stepsisters. Instead, she developed personal characteristics such as shamelessness, optimism, tenacity, selfishness, independence, and self-entertainment.
This might make someone as self-disciplined and polite as Pei Jingzhou feel uncomfortable, but as long as she is happy, she doesn't care about him.
"I'm sorry." Pei Jingzhou said again: "I shouldn't have judged you like that."
Being able to admit mistakes is difficult in itself, but someone of Pei Jingzhou's status is willing to take responsibility. Jiang Zhaoyue said generously: "I forgive you."
"You..." Pei Jingzhou was surprised.
"How could I forgive you so easily?"
"Um."
"Because you are good-looking." Jiang Zhaoyue said with a smile.
Pei Jingzhou's face immediately darkened when he heard this.
"You really love to get angry." Jiang Zhaoyue rolled her eyes at him and said seriously, "Because you're not wrong. I'm unfilial, rude, selfish, and heartless, but I'm just a person who loves to lose my temper. When I heard you say bad things about me, I got angry right away. After that, I felt it was nothing."
really.
Jiang Zhaoyue is indeed a person who doesn't take emotions to heart.
Pei Jingzhou looked at her: "Then you didn't have a good life in the past..."
Jiang Zhaoyue waited for a while, but Pei Jingzhou didn't say anything more. He guessed that this man was constrained by propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame and couldn't say anything.
Really...
She said bluntly, "I didn't have a good life in the past, but people, don't dwell on the hurt of your original family and blame everything on your background. It's easy to confine yourself to a certain area. Look forward, move forward, and one day, flowers will bloom on the road."
Pei Jingzhou looked straight at her, his eyes dark and unclear.
"What's wrong again?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"You're right." Pei Jingzhou agreed. "You're no longer the Jiang Zhaoyue you once were. You don't need to dwell on the past. Stay well in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If you have any problems, discuss them with me first. Don't be impulsive and rebellious anymore."
"Second Master, do you accept me?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked directly.
Pei Jingzhou sighed imperceptibly, as if he was speechless about her behavior. He said, "Since we are already married, we should live a happy life together as husband and wife."
oh.
It turns out that this old-fashioned man still thinks about the ethics and morals - once married, they are husband and wife, and they should respect each other as equals and treat each other with respect.
Jiang Zhaoyue replied indifferently: "Oh."
Pei Jingzhou emphasized again: "Don't do anything heretical in the future."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked in return: "What do you mean by heresy?"
"It's what you did in Chengning Marquis' Mansion."
"Oh, can I hold your hand?"
Pei Jingzhou suspected that he had misheard: "What did you say?"
Jiang Zhaoyue repeated: "Can I hold your hand?"
"You..." It was the first time Pei Jingzhou met a woman like Jiang Zhaoyue, and he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Zhaoyue said, "You said we are husband and wife, isn't it normal for us to hold hands?"
Pei Jingzhou held it in for a long time, then said, "Women should be reserved—"
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly stood up and held Pei Jingzhou's big hand.
"Jiang Zhaoyue." Pei Jingzhou wanted to pull back.
Jiang Zhaoyue held on tighter.
Pei Jingzhou frowned and said, "Let go!"
Jiang Zhaoyue insisted: "I won't let go!"
"You...how disgraceful!"
"Second Master is a martial artist. It would be easy for him to pull his hand back, wouldn't it?" Jiang Zhaoyue said with a bright smile, "You say 'let go' but don't struggle. Don't you think you like me doing this?"
"Nonsense!" Pei Jingzhou tried to pull his hand back with a little force.
Jiang Zhaoyue was suddenly pulled up, and she pounced on Pei Jingzhou.
Worried that she would fall, Pei Jingzhou quickly reached out and hugged her.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately sat on his lap.
Pei Jingzhou, as if on fire, quickly pushed her onto the stool beside him. His ears were red, and he said sternly, "Jiang Zhaoyue! Respect yourself!"
If the quarrel continued, Pei Jingzhou would probably get really angry. Jiang Zhaoyue stopped while she was ahead and sat up straight: "I know, I know."
Pei Jingzhou really wanted to get off the carriage at this time and didn't want to see Jiang Zhaoyue again, but the carriage was halfway on the road and stopping would be a waste of manpower and resources.
He had no choice but to sit where he was, pick up the tea bowl on the table and take a sip to relieve the soft, fragrant and warm touch on his hands and legs, and suppress the mess in his heart.
"Second Master." Jiang Zhaoyue spoke.
Pei Jingzhou asked without turning his head: "What's the matter?"
"I'm going to tell you something, don't be angry."
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue in surprise: "What did you do?"
"I tampered with the gift list." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Something has been done?"
"Yes, my stepmother should be angry."
Wu was angry. As she looked at the gift list sent by Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue, she couldn't help but throw the list to the ground and cursed: "Bitch! Bitch!"
The maid and the nanny were startled.
Jiang Shihong walked in at this time and saw the gift list lying on the ground. He asked in confusion: "Madam, what happened?"
