Chapter 22 Inappropriate
Pretending to be pure?
chaos?
Where did you learn these words?
Pei Jingzhou was wearing his undershirt and sitting on the bed, looking at Jiang Zhaoyue who was sleeping soundly wrapped in the quilt, feeling discouraged.
He thought that if he compromised, was tolerant and caring, she would become dignified and elegant.
result……
As a result, her temper became worse and worse, and she became more and more unruly.
For the first time, he felt that he and she might really be as everyone said - not suitable.
That's it.
He stood up, dressed, and called out, "Yingge."
Yingge came in quietly and instantly felt that the Second Master was even colder. She didn't know what was going on, so she served him even more carefully.
After everything was sorted out, Pei Jingzhou strode out of Linhua Courtyard without saying a word and got into the carriage.
Pei Jing placed breakfast in the carriage.
Pei Jingzhou was useless and went to court, left court, and entered the government office as usual.
He originally wanted to stay in the yamen for the whole day, but he had a handwritten letter at home and couldn't let anyone else do it.
He had no choice but to return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and pay his respects to Wang at Songqing Hall as usual.
Wang was having breakfast and asked in surprise, "Jingzhou, why are you back?"
"Son, come back and get a handwritten letter." Pei Jingzhou said.
Wang followed up, "You come to see mother every time you get your handwritten letter. You are really filial."
Pei Jingzhou looked around.
"Don't look, your wife hasn't arrived yet." Wang curled her lips and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Pei Jingzhou didn't want to have breakfast, but he didn't want to go back and meet Jiang Zhaoyue at this time, so he said truthfully: "No."
Wang said, "Then let's use them together."
"yes."
Pei Jingzhou and Wang had dinner in Songqing Hall.
Jiang Zhaoyue also had breakfast at Linhuayuan, and then took Xiangqiao to pay his respects.
Since the Second Master did not give instructions, Yingge and Nanny Sun did not accompany them.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked up at the sky: "It's cloudy, a bit cold."
"I'll go back and get a cloak for Second Madam." Xiang Qiao said.
"No need. I'm wearing a lot of clothes and still a little hot. Let's go and pay our respects to Mother quickly. If we are late, Mother and Second Master will be unhappy." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"yes."
"Let's take the small road." Jiang Zhaoyue wanted to get to Songqing Hall quickly.
"Yes." Xiangqiao followed.
When the two were passing through a woods, they saw a girl in red standing upright on the honeycomb bridge, looking at the lake, as if she was about to do something.
"There's something wrong with that girl." Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but slow down his pace.
Xiangqiao took a look and didn't think anything of it: "Second Madam, we can't stop, otherwise it will be too late to go to Songqingtang."
With a "splash", the girl in red suddenly dived into the lake.
"Ah!" Xiangqiao covered her mouth in fear.
Jiang Zhaoyue ran towards the lake without saying a word.
It was already past two quarters past noon.
Pei Jingzhou and Wang had their breakfast.
The fifth lady Pei Sijing and the fifth master Pei Heng came to pay their respects.
"The two younger ones are here, but your wife hasn't come yet." Wang didn't say anything extra, but the meaning was self-evident.
Pei Jingzhou was disappointed with Jiang Zhaoyue again and did not defend her.
Pei Sijing said, "Second sister-in-law might have encountered something on the way and was delayed."
"Yes, yes, yes." Pei Heng continued, "Second sister-in-law will be here soon."
Pei Heng spoke up for Jiang Zhaoyue, and Wang Shi didn't find it strange. However, Pei Sijing, who was usually taciturn, actually spoke up for Jiang Zhaoyue. She asked, "Sijing, you and Jiang Shi are very familiar with each other."
"Mother, I'm not familiar with my second sister-in-law." Pei Sijing wanted to get acquainted with Jiang Zhaoyue, so after finishing her homework today, she came to pay her respects early, hoping to meet her second sister-in-law.
"It's unfair to speak for her without knowing her well."
"Not casually." Pei Heng continued.
Wang turned to Pei Heng and said, "I haven't even mentioned you yet. All you do is play sepak takraw all day. How are your poetry memorizations coming along?"
Pei Heng said confidently: "I have memorized them all. My second sister-in-law taught me—"
Not wanting to hear anything about Jiang Zhaoyue, Wang said directly, "Recite it for me."
Pei Heng recited one poem after another.
Not only was Wang surprised, but Pei Jingzhou also didn't expect Pei Heng to have made such great progress.
Pei Sijing smiled and said, "Fifth brother is amazing."
Pei Heng puffed out his chest and said, "Second sister-in-law helped me!"
Mention Jiang Zhaoyue again!
Wang rolled her eyes at Pei Heng and turned to Pei Jingzhou, saying, "It seems like the end of the Chen hour is approaching. Jiang really doesn't take me, her mother-in-law, seriously."
We agreed yesterday that we would pay our respects to our mother on time and respectfully today.
result……
Although Pei Jingzhou no longer had any expectations for Jiang Zhaoyue, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Seeing that he remained silent, Wang sighed and walked out of the main room, but what she was thinking in her heart was that she finally had an excuse to teach Jiang Zhaoyue a lesson.
Pei Jingzhou stood up and said, "Mother, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Go and get busy." Wang said.
Pei Jingzhou walked out.
Nanny Li rushed in hurriedly: "Madam, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
Pei Jingzhou paused and looked back.
Wang frowned. "Why are you so flustered? What terrible thing happened?"
"Miss Four, Miss Four, she jumped into the lake and committed suicide!" Nanny Li said breathlessly.
"What?" Wang was shocked.
Pei Sijing and Pei Heng opened their eyes wide.
"Where is she now? How is she?" Pei Jingzhou turned around and asked.
"He's been rescued. They're currently trying to help him at the Beehive Bridge. His life or death is unknown."
"Hurry, hurry and take a look!" Wang immediately walked out.
Pei Sijing hurried forward and supported Wang's arm.
Pei Jingzhou took a step with his long legs and quickly walked out of Songqing Hall.
Pei Heng hurriedly trotted after him.
From a distance, I saw a group of people standing next to the Honeycomb Bridge.
Doctor Lu ran towards Fengwo Bridge carrying his medicine box. Seeing Pei Jingzhou, he hurriedly saluted: "Second Master."
"How is Fourth Sister?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"I don't know either. I rushed here as soon as I heard the news."
"Who was the one who rescued me?"
"I don't know."
Pei Jingzhou said no more, strode forward, pushed through the crowd, and saw his fourth sister Pei Siya lying on the grass with a pale face. The one who had been trying to save her was...
Jiang Zhaoyue was wet all over, and her messy hair was dripping with water, but she was concentrating and pressing Pei Siya's chest regularly.
"I'll do it." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Don't make trouble, get out of the way and let the air circulate. Don't you understand?" This was the first time Jiang Zhaoyue faced a life on the verge of death.
She was so focused on saving people that she had no idea who was speaking.
Pei Jingzhou didn't care what she said at this time and quickly asked people to disperse.
Pei Heng, Wang, Pei Sijing, and the doctor from the Lu Mansion arrived at this time. They were shocked to see that Pei Siya had really committed suicide, and they were also shocked that it was Jiang Zhaoyue who saved her.
But Wang Shi didn't believe Jiang Zhaoyue could save the patient, so she hurriedly said, "Doctor Lu, go and save him quickly."
The doctor of the Lu Mansion said: "Madam, the Second Mistress is currently treating the patient. It is inconvenient for her to..."
Wang said directly: "What does she know?!"
At this moment, Pei Siya, who had been lifeless, suddenly spat out a mouthful of water.
