Chapter 29: Tooth for Tooth
"Is this what you meant by 'I'm going to beat him up'?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Pei Sijing asked anxiously: "Second sister-in-law, is the matter resolved?"
"It's solved." Jiang Zhaoyue replied.
"How did you solve it?" Pei Heng asked.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a fake for the real." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Zhu Guangchang used rumors to pressure Fourth Sister, so you should repay him in the same way."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "That's right."
Pei Jingzhou continued, "She deliberately went to the restaurant and caused a scene in front of everyone, letting everyone know that Fourth Sister was infatuated. Zhu Guangchang, unwilling to part with Fourth Sister's connections at the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and his childhood sweetheart, gave Fourth Sister's embroidery to a stranger and spread rumors about her, etc."
"Second Master, you are so awesome." Jiang Zhaoyue praised Pei Jingzhou sweetly.
Pei Jingzhou glared at her and told her to be careful with her words and actions.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled sweetly.
Pei Jingzhou deliberately avoided looking at her.
"But this purse and sachet were not embroidered by Fourth Sister." There was a mess in Private Room No. 2 just now. Pei Sijing took the opportunity to pick up the purse and sachet that Jiang Zhaoyue threw out. She could tell from the stitching that they were not embroidered by Fourth Sister.
"Xiang Qiao embroidered it." Jiang Zhaoyue told the truth.
"Then what did my second sister-in-law say..." Pei Sijing was puzzled.
"I did it on purpose." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"This is confusing the real with the fake," Pei Jingzhou explained to Pei Sijing, "Your sister-in-law's words are mixed with truth. She's exposing Zhu Guangchang's clinging to the powerful, his low moral character, his fickleness, and his pursuit of women to the public, leaving him no room for rebuttal."
Pei Jingzhou is Pei Jingzhou!
I found out the whole story so quickly.
Jiang Zhaoyue said again: "Second Master, you are really amazing!"
Pei Jingzhou glanced at her and didn't respond.
Pei Sijing was also smart, and she quickly realized, "That way, the Duke's Mansion can legitimately cancel the engagement. Even if Zhu Guangchang goes around saying that Fourth Sister and him were holding hands... or something like that, no one will believe it."
"That's right. If he really tells others about him and my fourth sister, not only will others not believe him, but the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion can also sue him openly." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "If he has a normal mind, he will stay away from anyone he sees from the Zhenguo Mansion from now on and will never dare to provoke them again."
"Then the fourth sister can be saved?" Pei Sijing asked in surprise.
Jiang Zhaoyue said confidently, "That's right. If the rumors spread today, the people from the Xinming Marquis' Mansion will come to apologize tomorrow and agree to cancel the engagement."
"That's great." Pei Siya wanted to die because of this matter. Pei Sijing was so worried that she couldn't sleep and felt like the sky was falling.
But!
But my second sister-in-law solved it in no time.
She couldn't help but hold Jiang Zhaoyue's hand and said excitedly: "Second sister-in-law, you are so amazing."
"Second sister-in-law is also the best at playing sepak takraw!" Pei Heng listened for a long time and felt dizzy, but he understood Pei Sijing's praise for his second sister-in-law, so he followed suit.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately raised her delicate face and said proudly, "That's it."
When Zhu Guangchang did such a despicable thing, Pei Jingzhou quickly came up with a solution and did not take Jiang Zhaoyue's words "I'm going to beat him up" to heart.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhaoyue seized the opportunity and rushed to Zhu Guangchang, taking action, accusing, insulting, and making decisions.
Done in one go.
Without giving Zhu Guangchang a chance to refute, he exposed Zhu Guangchang's despicable behavior and then left like a whirlwind.
This gave the onlookers endless imagination, and they would think of "guilty" for Zhu Guangchang.
In this way, the fourth sister's predicament was resolved, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion took the initiative.
He had been in the government office for several years and had been with the old foxes for a long time, so he liked to complicate things.
I never thought that Zhu Guangchang could be solved so easily.
I guess those old foxes in the yamen would also talk about rules and etiquette, and could solve the problem quickly, but they would never be able to solve it as flexibly, naturally, effectively, happily and full of worldly flavor as Jiang Zhaoyue did.
He once again discovered Jiang Zhaoyue's "double-facedness".
The surprising "inconsistency between appearance and reality".
When he looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, his eyes couldn't help but become gentle. He felt that the way Jiang Zhaoyue, Pei Sijing and Pei Heng boasted was lively, smart and very beautiful.
Jiang Zhaoyue just turned around and looked over.
Pei Jingzhou was startled and quickly lowered his head to grab the tea bowl.
"Second Master." Jiang Zhaoyue called.
"What for?" Pei Jingzhou responded coldly.
"You are holding my tea bowl." Jiang Zhaoyue said mischievously.
"Why are you putting your tea bowl in front of me?" Pei Jingzhou immediately pushed the tea bowl in front of Jiang Zhaoyue, picked up his own tea bowl again, and took a big sip.
The slightly bitter and cool tea slid down his throat, and the messy thoughts in his mind also subsided.
He turned to look at Pei Sijing: "After you go back, tell your fourth sister that everything is fine. Tell her not to think too much. There is still a long and good road ahead."
"Well, I've been sleeping with her every night these past few days." Pei Sijing said.
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
Pei Sijing asked worriedly, "What about mother..."
"Don't worry, I'll tell her."
Pei Jingzhou is Wang's biological son, and is also the one Wang loves and values very much. Wang always trusts what he says, so Pei Sijing felt relieved at that moment.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, she immediately went to find Pei Siya.
Pei Jingzhou said to Yingge, "Go to Songqing Hall and tell them that we are back."
"Yes." Yingge immediately went to explain.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Pei Heng: "Auntie Shen hasn't seen you all morning."
Pei Heng raised his chubby face and looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"We'll play football again when I'm fully recovered," Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Okay." Pei Heng left happily.
Jiang Zhaoyue followed Pei Jingzhou back to Linhuayuan.
Pei Jingzhou asked Nanny Sun: "Is the medicine for Second Madam ready?"
"I'm fine now, do I still need to take medicine?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"It will take three days to eradicate the problem."
Jiang Zhaoyue looked worried.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Nanny Sun and said, "Bring it to Second Madam."
Jiang Zhaoyue sat in the main room, rolled up his sleeves, drank a bowl of bitter medicine in one gulp, and quickly stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a red patch on his arm.
"Second Madam, what happened?" Xiangqiao was shocked.
"This..." Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly stopped talking, stood up and said, "It's okay."
"But--"
"I'm going to find the 'murderer'." Jiang Zhaoyue swallowed the candied fruit in his mouth and went to the compartment.
Pei Jingzhou was changing clothes. When he looked up and saw Jiang Zhaoyue coming in, he quickly wrapped his clothes tightly and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Zhaoyue rolled up his arms and stretched them in front of Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Jingzhou immediately saw a red patch on her round, fair arm and frowned: "How did it happen?"
"You did it!" Jiang Zhaoyue accused.
"I?"
"You hurt me when you pulled me in the restaurant." Jiang Zhaoyue said angrily.
When Pei Jingzhou grabbed Jiang Zhaoyue's arm, he felt that her arm was so thin and soft that he didn't dare to use force, so he carried her out of the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, her arm was still injured.
Jiang Zhaoyue raised her eyes unhappily and saw that Pei Jingzhou had not put on his clothes yet, with a large area of cold white skin exposed on his neck, and a small red mole below his collarbone, which looked very tempting.
The lustful thoughts arise again.
She immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged him: "Second Master, it hurts."
