Chapter 73 Poor Eyesight
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Zhaoyue always said whatever she wanted to say. Sometimes what she said made sense, and sometimes it was outrageous. Although Pei Jingzhou criticized her for talking nonsense, he still explained seriously: "When I was investigating a case, I met a suspect who loved to do things like this."
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoyue tilted his head and asked, "So you really don't have a mistress?"
"No."
"If you raise one, tell me."
Jiang Zhaoyue said something similar last time, and also said that men who are not disciplined are prone to carrying diseases and infecting women... Pei Jingzhou said at the time that he would not do such a thing.
Now I wanted to reiterate it, but I heard her say, "Tell me, I can help you."
He asked unhappily, "Can you help us?"
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "So?"
Jiang Zhaoyue asked back: "What else?"
Pei Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Don't you have any other feelings in your heart?"
"What do you feel?"
It was obvious that Jiang Zhaoyue didn't know how to be jealous. Pei Jingzhou felt depressed: "I said, I won't visit brothels or keep a mistress."
Jiang Zhaoyue was bewildered: "Did you tell me that?"
"Don't you remember what I said?"
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Ah, I remember now."
Pei Jingzhou said, "I'll say it again. I won't visit brothels or keep a mistress."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Where's the concubine?"
"I haven't thought about it."
"What about taking a concubine?"
"I haven't thought about it."
"You only want me as your legal wife?" The male supporting role was indeed a male supporting role, and he was extremely virtuous. Jiang Zhaoyue hugged his arm again, rested her chin on his shoulder, and smiled at his handsome face: "Second Master, you are really good-looking and a good person."
Pei Jingzhou tilted his head, his dark eyes meeting her bright almond-shaped ones, and snorted softly: "You only know how to say nice things to coax people."
Jiang Zhaoyue opened her mouth and said, "I am speaking from the heart."
Pei Jingzhou said: "Sometimes I can't see your true heart."
"Can't you see?"
“I can’t see.”
"Then your eyesight is not very good." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou was helpless: "Can't you blame yourself?"
"Why blame yourself when you can blame others? It's so unfair to yourself."
Pei Jingzhou was suddenly speechless.
"However, your intentions are good." Jiang Zhaoyue changed the subject and patted the imperial edict.
"You deserve this imperial edict." Pei Jingzhou followed Jiang Zhaoyue back to the imperial edict. "You saved Heng'er, Miss Qin San, and Princess Duojia, and uncovered the trafficking of women and children at Jingshui Manor. Your contributions are enormous."
"Not only are they trafficking girls, but they're also trafficking children? How despicable." Jiang Zhaoyue sat up straight and asked, "Have you found out everything?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded. "After we returned home, Pei Che and Pei Jing brought Old Man Wu and the others to the government office for immediate interrogation. In the middle of the night, they uncovered the abduction and trafficking of women and children from Jingshui Village. The government immediately went to arrest the perpetrators."
Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but sigh: "This is too fast."
"Since the matter involves the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Princess Duojia, it will naturally be quick."
"I see. Is Old Man Wu related to the Jingzhao Yin?"
Pei Jingzhou shook his head slightly: "No, Old Man Wu's background is the advisor of Jingzhao Yin."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "How dare he be so arrogant?"
"A higher-ranking official can crush others to death. To ordinary people, the advisor of the Jingzhao Yin is also a person of high rank."
"really."
"So you did a lot of good things this time, and Pei Che was praised by the emperor. His marriage with Miss Qin San should be possible." Although Pei Che was the fourth master of the Zhenguo Mansion, he was a bastard after all, and Wang was not willing to marry her daughter to him.
However, now that he has been praised by the emperor, he will definitely achieve something in the future, and she will be willing to hand her daughter over to him.
Jiang Zhaoyue boasted, "I'm really amazing."
Pei Jingzhou smiled silently when he heard this.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly thought of something: "Isn't Madam Xi's status a bit low?"
"Is it low?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"Only fifth rank."
"Fifth rank is not small."
"Mother is a first-rank imperial consort."
"Are you older than your mother?"
Jiang Zhaoyue spoke her mind: "Now that I'm older than her, she won't dare to do anything to me."
"She can't do anything to you in the future." Pei Jingzhou succinctly relayed to Jiang Zhaoyue the gist of his conversation with Pei Maokun and Wang last night.
"When my injury heals, shall we move out?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise.
Pei Jingzhou nodded and asked, "Are you willing?"
"Of course I do. I can sleep as long as I want."
"Now you are not even allowed to pay your respects."
"But it's more comfortable when it's just the two of us." Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and pressed her forehead against Pei Jingzhou's neck, nuzzling like a kitten: "Second Master, why are you so nice, why are you so nice?"
"Stop messing around." Pei Jingzhou said with a smile.
"Second Master, why are you so nice?" Jiang Zhaoyue simply put her arms around Pei Jingzhou's waist, which pulled her right foot, and she immediately screamed in pain.
Pei Jingzhou hurriedly checked and said with a cold face: "Be honest!"
Jiang Zhaoyue had a sad face: "When will it get better?"
Pei Jingzhou gave the correct answer: "Fifty-nine days left."
"Oh my god, it takes so long!"
"If you're in a hurry, you can find something to do."
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't respond.
"Don't you like reading storybooks? 'The Pretty Widow Flirts with the Number One Scholar', 'The Domineering Prince Falls at the Skirt of the Little Maid', 'The Pretty Bride Takes Over the Handsome Groom'." Jiang Zhaoyue was often seen reading a book for a while before going to bed, and then stuffing it under his pillow.
Pei Jingzhou didn't know what she was reading. One day, she was not sleeping well and threw her pillow aside. He suddenly saw all kinds of eye-catching book titles.
Looking through the content again, he saw things like "Sir, I can't walk anymore, please carry me on your back", "Your Highness is so handsome", "Husband, I want to kiss you", which made his eyes hurt.
In her previous life, Jiang Zhaoyue studied, studied, worked, and worked... Her life was filled with all kinds of professional knowledge, so in her spare time, she resolutely refused to touch her profession and liked to read mindless online articles to change her mind.
After reading it, continue studying and working.
She hadn't expected Pei Jingzhou to notice and read out the title so seriously. Fortunately, she was thick-skinned. After a twitch of her lips, she said, "Second Master is right. If you have time, please buy me a few copies to read."
Pei Jingzhou agreed readily.
Jiang Zhaoyue happily stuck to Pei Jingzhou again.
Pei Jingzhou let her stick to him.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked curiously, "Second Master, are you not busy today?"
"I'll stay with you at home today." Jiang Zhaoyue almost lost her life yesterday, and Pei Jingzhou was still in shock. Only by staying by her side could he feel a little at ease.
Jiang Zhaoyue was very happy and stuck to Pei Jingzhou the whole day.
In the next few days, Pei Jingzhou left the court early and came back to accompany Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly felt that life was not so difficult anymore.
"Second Madam, your right foot is much better." Xiang Qiao stared at Jiang Zhaoyue's feet.
"That's why Second Master can't be off duty tonight." Jiang Zhaoyue sighed.
"Second Madam, the Crown Prince's wife is here." Baoxia walked in and said.
"Please come in." Jiang Zhaoyue had always thought that Zhang Siyin was dignified and quiet, but after getting to know her, he discovered that she was passionate and optimistic. Jiang Zhaoyue liked people like her and was willing to interact with her.
"Second brother's wife." Zhang Siyin walked in with a smile.
Jiang Zhaoyue wanted to get out of bed.
"Be careful with your right foot." Zhang Siyin hurried forward.
"It's okay. Second Master made me a crutch. I can use it to get out of bed and walk around." Jiang Zhaoyue took the crutch handed to him by Xiangqiao.
"My second brother is so nice to his wife." Zhang Siyin looked envious again.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't know why, but felt a little sorry for her.
"The Crown Prince's wife! The Crown Prince's wife!" A maid ran in in a panic.
