Chapter 118: Adults are very important to Ah Xu...
There was a hint of tears in her voice.
The door was banging violently, and the woman's voice was trembling and helpless: "Husband, please..."
"I want to go see him..."
"I promised him..."
It was a sobbing sound, intermittent, through the translucent window paper, two hands covered the door frame.
Just one door away.
Rong Jianxue was wearing a loose robe and stood tall and graceful.
He stood there, his eyes falling for no reason on the shadows of her hands resting on the door frame.
Slender and long, like a tender catkin.
He raised his hand, his eyes flickering, and his fingertips gently touched the shadow of her hand.
Mottled light and shadow.
He heard her trembling cry.
"Husband, please..."
"Husband..."
The door was locked.
Rong Jianxue lowered his head, and suddenly exerted force with one hand——
With a "click", the door lock fell to the ground.
"husband--"
Suddenly opened the door.
The woman's eyes were blurred with tears, and she stared at the man who appeared in front of her with wide eyes.
Going against the light, he seemed like a god.
"Jun..."
The last word was uttered softly, Pei Jingxu's eyes shook, and he let the tears roll down freely.
The last word "husband" hit him in the face like a soft feather.
The man stood straight and looked handsome.
He still stood there, his eyes noble and cold, looking down at her.
He knew that he was now sober and rational.
He looked at the tearful woman calmly and coldly, as if he was looking at himself through her rationally.
Why?
He was puzzled.
The fingertips that had just touched her hand shadow felt restless, as if they were about to burn his fingertips.
She looked extremely aggrieved, as if she had finally seen someone she could rely on. She grabbed the man's sleeve and sobbed softly.
"grown ups……"
"sorry……"
"Ah Xu didn't mean to break the appointment. Please don't be angry with Ah Xu, okay..."
She didn't dare hug his waist like she used to, so she could only grab his sleeves and cry tremblingly and aggrievedly.
His gaze slowly moved downwards, and Rong Jianxue's eyes stopped at the gaps between her fingers which were slightly bleeding.
Noticing the man's gaze, Pei Jingxu sobbed and began to explain: "I, I tried to pry open the door, but failed..."
Rong Jianxue said nothing and let her grab his sleeve.
He is an extremely restrained and sober person.
Even if he really had that intention, he should have suppressed it completely and crushed the spark after Xuan Zhou returned.
Resurgence.
Burning his reason, his self-discipline and restoration of rituals.
Pei Jingxu lowered her head and cried, pulling at the man's sleeve, but she didn't hear the man speak for a long time.
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Sir, Asu——"
"Rong Xuanzhou said that you love him so much that you're willing to die for him."
Inexplicably, a man's hoarse and cold voice came from above Pei Jingxu's head, and the emotion was indistinguishable.
Pei Jingxu tightened her fingers slightly around Rong Jianxue's sleeve, raised her eyes, and a tear rolled down her cheek at the right moment.
The long wind blew up the man's black hair and filled his loose robe.
This is really inappropriate to say.
Pei Jingxu's eyes were slightly startled, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in them.
"Since you love him so much, why are you crying when he just restricted your life?"
Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered.
After just one glance at him, the woman lowered her head in panic again.
The knuckles that were clutching the man's sleeve were slightly white.
Her tone was nasal, trembling and serious: "But, you are also very important to Ah Xu..."
The Buddhist beads on the wrist bone slid into the palm of the hand.
Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes, the light in her eyes flickering.
for a long time.
She finally heard the sound coming from above her head again.
"Pei Jingxu, do you want to stay here or come with me?"
It was just like when she was kneeling in the ancestral hall and he came over with an umbrella and gave her the choice in a deep voice.
This time, she didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed Rong Jianxue's hand and took a few steps forward. The corners of her eyes were red, and her eyes were clear: "A Xu, follow the adults..."
…
In the courtyard, Jiang Hui had a solemn expression as he looked at the servants kneeling on the ground in the yard. He swept his eyes over them without saying a word.
He had just asked the servants and found out that they had arranged the Second Lady in the guest room, while that Mrs. Bai was arranged in the side room next to the Second Young Master's bedroom!
The servants were also used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. Seeing this situation, they actually served Bai and the two children attentively and considerately, as if she was the mistress of the west courtyard!
This is simply outrageous!
Jiang Hui frowned and pressed his hand tightly on the hilt of the sword.
This was the scene Bai Shutong saw when he returned to the west courtyard from outside.
Today, she met a young man named "Yuan Zhou" on Chang'an Avenue. The young man had similar interests to her and they talked about a lot of things.
Master Yuanzhou also gave her a gold hairpin, which looked very valuable.
After bidding farewell to the young master, Bai Shutong returned to the west courtyard and saw a group of servants kneeling on the ground. He frowned slightly.
"What... happened?"
Bai Shutong's voice came from behind Jiang Hui.
Hearing the noise, the servant who had been kneeling on the ground trembling with fear hurriedly raised his head and shouted, "Madam Bai, please save us! Madam Bai, please have mercy!"
Seeing this, Bai Shutong hurried forward a few steps and said, "What happened? Tell me slowly."
"Madam Bai," Jiang Hui said in a deep and solemn voice, "Disciplining servants is our business in the Rong Mansion. You have no right to interfere."
"Guard Jiang, servants are also human beings. How can you treat them like this!" Bai Shutong retorted disapprovingly.
She hurried forward a few steps and leaned over to support the oldest woman: "Grandma Liu, please get up quickly."
“Zheng——”
A sharp blade was drawn from its sheath and pressed against the throat of that old woman Liu.
Jiang Hui's expression was cold and stern, without a trace of emotion: "Who allowed you to get up?"
That old woman Liu had never seen such a scene before! Her legs went limp and she fell straight to her knees on the ground!
"Guard Jiang!" Bai Shutong frowned and turned back, glaring at Jiang Hui. "Grandma Liu is old and can't stand any more hardship. How dare you scare her like this!?"
"Madam Bai, I'll say it again!" Jiang Hui had never seen such an unruly woman before, and his voice turned cold. "This is a family affair of the Rong family, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"You--" Bai Shutong wanted to say something.
In the distance, Pei Jingxu followed Rong Jianxue into the courtyard.
Bai Shutong looked over and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Sister? Didn't Brother Xuanzhou... restrict your feet?"
Her voice was gentle, like a sincere exhortation: "Shutong knows that I am angry with Brother Xuanzhou, but I cannot break the rules and lift the house arrest on my own."
There were tears in the corners of Pei Jingxu's eyes and her eyelashes were wet.
She bit her lip slightly, but hid behind Rong Jianxue.
Rong Jianxue glanced at Bai Shutong, seemingly ignoring her, and turned to look at Jiang Hui: "Have you found out?"
"Yes, I've checked everything," Jiang Hui clasped his fists. "Sir, these servants, especially this old woman Liu, locked up the Second Madam and didn't even give her water!"
Rong Jianxue had an indifferent expression as he walked hesitantly over the heads of the servants.
Without any emotion, he said calmly: "Everything has been dealt with."
"Yes!" Jiang Hui clasped his fists, grabbed Liu Po's collar and dragged her out the door.
"Brother Jianxue, please wait a moment!" Seeing this, Bai Shutong frowned and stepped forward to stop Jiang Hui's actions.
