Vicious Female Supporting Character Left a Widow? Brother-in-law, I'm So Scared

【Brother Takes Younger Brother's Wife + Deliberate Seduction】

(Black-bellied Vicious Woman vs. Ascetic & Cold Young Grand Tutor)

In her previous life, Pei Jingxu faithfully observed three years of widowhood for her husband, Rong Xuanzhou, who was presumed dead in battle. However, she waited only for him to return to the capital with Bai Shutong, the widow of his comrade, and their two children.

Rong family parents remained silent, only urging her to be virtuous and magnanimous. Bai Shutong possessed peerless beauty, and soon after arriving in the capital, she caused powerful nobles to vie for her favor. Even Rong Xuanzhou was captivated, showing her gentle care and protection.

Ultimately, Pei Jingxu was drowned in a lotus pond by an admirer of Bai Shutong, as a token of allegiance. Only at the brink of death did she realize she was living in a storybook featuring a 'magnet for everyone's love,' and she was merely a stumbling block on the path to the heroine Bai Shutong's glorious reign in the capital.

Reborn into this life, Pei Jingxu, as the vicious female supporting character, realized she needed to find a powerful backer before the heroine returned to the capital. Thus, her thoughts turned to the peerlessly elegant, ethereal and upright eldest son of the Rong family, the current Grand Tutor — Rong Jianxue.

That night, Pei Jingxu, with crimson-tinged eyes and thinly clad, soaking wet clothes, wept like a pear blossom bathed in rain as she knocked on his door. "Brother-in-law, Second Brother isn't here, A'Xu is really scared..." Rong Jianxue's gaze was cold and deep, and the Buddhist beads concealed in his sleeve tightened one by one.

After Rong Xuanzhou returned to the capital, he discovered that his 'plain and simple' wife no longer clung to him, but instead frequently entered and exited his elder brother's residence. Having always known his elder brother to be stern, Rong Xuanzhou coldly told her, "If you soften your stance, I'll ask Big Brother not to punish you."

Behind the screen, Rong Jianxue pulled her half-exposed jade arm back. The man's gaze was murky, and he answered for her in a hoarse voice, "She deserves punishment."

Later, Pei Jingxu ran away. Outside the city, private soldiers lined up, and the man approached her step by step, his eyes filled with overwhelming desire. "A'Xu is right, we should have a child now."

Reminder for the plot: The male lead and the male supporting character are not blood brothers.
