Chapter 142 "Pei Jingxu, use me."
The Buddhist beads on her wrist bones bound her hands together, and the gold-plated Sanskrit words lingered in her ears like ancient and obscure words.
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
She refused to respond to him, and he did not urge her, but just looked down at her silently.
The dim vision is like substance.
Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly, then finally lowered her eyes after a while, her voice trembling and soft: "Thank you, Mr., for your teachings..."
Finally, she heard his muffled laughter from above her head, with a hint of overflowing joy.
Rong Jianxue leaned over and rested his head on her shoulder.
The Buddhist beads collided with each other above her wrist bones, making a dull sound.
"boom--"
A thunder exploded outside the door!
Pei Jingxu had tears in the corners of his eyes and was trembling slightly, not daring to move at all.
"Brother?"
Outside the door, Rong Xuanzhou seemed to have finally realized something. He took a few steps forward and knocked lightly on the door.
"Brother? What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Rong Jianxue took a slow breath, her voice low and muffled, "I remembered it wrongly. I didn't see Pei."
Rong Xuanzhou frowned when he heard this: "Brother, are you too tired recently?"
Rong Jianxue uttered a vague "hmm".
The rainy night was noisy, concealing countless obscure sounds.
Hearing his brother say this, Rong Xuanzhou said nothing more: "Then big brother, you should rest early. I will go look for it somewhere else."
Rong Jianxue's mind calmed down, and before he left, she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Go to the ancestral hall tonight and kneel for six full hours."
"Brother!" Rong Xuanzhou was indignant. "It's just a small matter. Are you really so cruel as to make me kneel in the ancestral hall for so long on a rainy night?"
"Seven hours."
Rong Xuanzhou frowned for a moment, but he no longer dared to say anything disobedient. He bowed slightly towards the door and said unwillingly, "I understand."
After saying that, Rong Xuanzhou held up his oil-paper umbrella and turned to leave.
The rain slowed down.
The footsteps outside the door gradually disappeared. Rong Jianxue held her wrists with one hand and clasped her waist with the other.
Until the footsteps disappeared, Pei Jingxu used all his strength to push the man in front of him away!
The piece of cloth fell to the ground.
The Buddhist beads on her wrist bones bound her hands together. Pei Jingxu's eyes were filled with tears and the corners of her eyes were bloodshot.
"Let me go..."
Her voice trembled, as if she was gathering up her little courage to face the man in front of her.
Rong Jianxue raised his eyebrows slightly, walked closer to her again, and took the Buddhist beads from her wrist.
Pei Jingxu stared at the man in front of her, tears rolling down her cheeks: "Rong Jianxue, you bastard!"
Rong Jianxue slowly put away the Buddhist beads and said "hmm" in a dull voice.
He was tall, his clothes barely covering his body. He looked down at her, his words clear and distinct: "Rong Xuanzhou doesn't love you, Pei Jingxu, you know that."
"What does that have to do with you!" Pei Jingxu burst into tears as if someone had touched her sore spot. She still looked at him angrily, "She has more in the Bai family than me, but, it's just those two children!"
"As long as, as long as my husband and I have a child, he will definitely change his mind!"
She played the role of a love-struck, foolish and vicious female supporting role to perfection.
"What do you mean by 'equal wife'? What do you mean by 'equal status with me'?" Pei Jingxu's eyes widened, and she took the opportunity to show her "badness" in front of him. "As long as I get pregnant with your child before her mourning period is over, I will never allow Bai Shi to enter the house!"
Rong Jianxue chuckled when he heard this.
His fingertips caressed the beautiful and delicate Buddhist beads, and he spoke word by word, "Do you think Rong Xuanzhou would still sleep with you now?"
Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly, a flicker of emotion in her eyes: "I...I will always find a way."
Rong Jianxue's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was hoarse, with the lust still in her tone: "Pei Jingxu, let me give you a choice."
Pei Jingxu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked up at the man in front of him.
The beast trapped in the cage slowly opened its eyes.
"If you just want a child with Rong family blood to fight against the Bai family."
"Pei Jingxu, use me."
…
Pei Jingxu never returned to the West Courtyard.
Jiang Hui held an umbrella and took her to the side room of Rong Jianxue's master bedroom to rest.
After closing the door, Pei Jingxu leaned against the door frame, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly exhaled.
When she opened her eyes again, the woman's eyes were filled with coldness and calmness.
——She didn't expect Rong Jianxue to suggest tonight that she could use him to give birth to the Rong family's bloodline.
It was earlier than she expected.
But she refused.
If I agree to it now, it will change too quickly and will inevitably make Rong Jianxue suspicious.
She needed a plot push to push her to Rong Jianxue's side.
Raising his hand slightly, Pei Jingxu saw the green jade bracelet on his wrist.
With a smile on his lips, Pei Jingxu stroked the jade bracelet playfully, his eyes cold.
She wants to take her destiny firmly into her own hands.
Even if it means cheating or robbing, I will do it at all costs.
“Knock knock—”
There was a knock on the door from Hongyao: "Miss, I have brought you new clothes."
Pei Jingxu adjusted his mood and reopened the door.
Hongyao was soaked by the rain, but the clothes in her arms were wrapped in a bundle and she was safe and sound.
"Girl, it's a good thing you didn't go back to the west courtyard. The old woman is waiting to trouble you in the side room."
Hongyao came in and took out new clothes while reporting.
"When I came here, I heard Guard Jiang say that the Second Young Master was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. I guess he won't bother you tonight."
Pei Jingxu yawned nonchalantly: "Where's Bai Shutong? How is she?"
"She," Hongyao curled her lips in disgust when she mentioned Bai Shutong, "she cried so hard when she returned home, and even said that since the Rong family didn't like her, she would just take her two children and leave."
At this point, Hongyao sneered, "That's what you say, but in the end, the Second Young Master and the old woman coaxed him together, and he reluctantly stayed in the West Courtyard."
"And those two naughty kids, when they learned their mother had made a fool of herself, they cried and begged Second Young Master for support, saying that you were a bad woman and that they wanted to arrest you and take you to apologize to the Bai family."
"Humph, young but full of evil."
Pei Jingxu chuckled when he heard this: "Don't clean up, you should go to bed early."
Hongyao stopped what she was doing and looked puzzled: "Miss, don't you want to take a rest?"
Pei Jingxu curled her lips slightly: "Look outside, it's still raining. As a wife, shouldn't I care about my husband?"
