Chapter 153 It’s so cool to be a villain!
Bai Shutong's cheeks flushed when she heard this. She lowered her head and said shyly, "Congyue, don't talk nonsense..."
Shen Congyue's face was full of pride: "How can you say that? I've heard it all. If it weren't for a certain ungrateful person who was occupying the position of the first wife and refused to give it up, the second wife might have been replaced long ago."
After a pause, Shen Congyue smiled again and said, "It's just that General Xuanzhou won't let you be his concubine. I heard from my father that General Xuanzhou intends to petition the emperor to make you, Sister Bai, his equal wife!"
With a cold snort, Shen Congyue continued, "Some people, taking the position of the legal wife and showing off, have become obstacles between lovers."
"Okay, Congyue," Bai Shutong pulled Shen Congyue's hand, his voice gentle, "Don't say anymore, you know, I don't care about these."
Shen Congyue said indignantly, "Sister Bai, you are just too easy to talk to. That's why some people always take advantage of you and act arrogantly!"
Pei Jingxu was resting with his eyes closed.
She didn't listen to a word of those indirect criticisms.
The stands were located at a high place, and the wind was much stronger. Pei Jingxu felt cold, so he covered himself with Rong Jianxue's crane cloak and pretended to take a nap with his eyes closed.
Who knew that this action would annoy Shen Congyue even more!
She saw the crane cloak that Pei Jingxu was wearing at a glance!
With a cold gaze, Shen Congyue pointed at Pei Jingxu and said sharply, "Pei! I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?!"
Slowly opening his eyes, Pei Jingxu glanced sideways, looking calmly and gently at Shen Congyue who was high above him: "Miss Shen, are you talking to me?"
"What else? Besides you, who is shameless and doesn't know when to advance or retreat, is there anyone else here?!"
Pei Jingxu's tone was soft and gentle: "I thought that after the previous lesson, Miss Chen would be more restrained."
"What do you mean!?" As if a sore spot had been touched, Shen Congyue shouted, "Pei Jingxu, don't think that Brother Jianxue can always support you!"
"He was willing to side with you at first, but it was only because General Xuanzhou hadn't returned. Now that General Xuanzhou has returned, do you really think Brother Jianxue will even look at you?"
Pei Jingxu tilted her head slightly, her eyes clear and pure: "Miss Chen, do you want to try it?"
Maybe because she is indeed a vicious female supporting role, she does have a bad temper.
Before, when she had no one to back her up, she could just endure it. But now that she has Rong Jianxue to rely on, why should she endure it?
She is a person who knows when to stop and also knows how to adapt to the situation. Now that she has a backer, it would be foolish of her not to use it.
"Pei Jingxu, why are you so arrogant?" Chen Congyue's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her. "You're just an unwanted wife waiting to be driven out of office. General Xuanzhou has disliked you for a long time!"
Pei Jingxu's brows were soft, and he was still looking at her with a smile.
She is so beautiful.
Her skin is as white as ice and as white as cream.
Just standing there, he could easily attract the attention of all the women, whether it was envy or jealousy.
Intense resentment rose in Chen Congyue's heart. Looking at Pei Jingxu's charming and soft face, he was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit her!
With a sound of "whoosh"!
It wasn't the sound of a slap falling.
Pei Jingxu was still standing there, her eyes clear and bright, her head slightly tilted, the sound of the wind passed over her hair and nailed directly onto Chen Congyue's luxurious sleeves.
It was the sound of arrows breaking through the autumn wind.
Chen Congyue was pulled by the force between his sleeves and fell straight to the ground!
The hand she had just raised high was nailed to the ground by a red-feathered arrow that pierced through her sleeve.
The women screamed and stepped away from her in fear!
Shen Congyue widened his eyes and fell to the ground, only then realizing that it was the force of the arrow!
Pei Jingxu's expression remained unchanged as he looked down at Chen Congyue condescendingly.
Everyone reacted and looked towards the stage in the direction the arrow came from!
Rong Jianxue was wearing a neat dark green dress with narrow sleeves and gold patterns, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, with an indifferent expression and calm eyes.
For a moment, everyone's eyes widened.
"The arrow just now...was it shot by Master Young Master?"
"That's for sure. Master Young Master is still looking at us women..."
"Master Master, what do you mean..."
Although this was the question, the women present were not fools and naturally understood what this meant.
——It’s a warning.
Below the stage, the man put away his bow and arrow, without even glancing back at the stage, and turned away.
Only the women were left at the table, a group of women were dumbfounded and silent.
The look in everyone's eyes when they looked at Pei Jingxu changed, from contempt and disdain to shock and fear.
Pei Jingxu still looked nonchalant, with a faint and innocent smile on the corner of her lips, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her.
Yawning lazily, Pei Jingxu smiled as he looked at Shen Congyue, who had fallen to the ground and was still struggling to pull out the arrow. He said softly, "Miss Shen, do you want to try again?"
Seeing this, Bai Shutong's face turned gloomy and ugly.
She took two steps to Shen Congyue's side, exerted force with one hand, and finally pulled out the arrow.
The arrow shot into the wooden board two fingers thick, and Shen Congyue's luxurious robe, which was tailor-made for him, was immediately torn into strips.
"Sister Pei, Brother Xuanzhou told you not to cause trouble when he came here. Now that you've caused such a scene, how is Brother Xuanzhou supposed to cope?"
Pei Jingxu blinked, her face innocent. "Madam Bai, what you said is very strange. I was just resting my mind here, but it was Miss Chen who insisted on arguing with me. How did it become that I was causing trouble?"
Pei Jingxu smiled and glanced at the women. "Sisters present, you all saw this. Was this caused by me?"
Everyone naturally knew what the arrow just now meant.
——That young master clearly wants to support this Miss Pei.
Even though this daughter of the Prime Minister's family was in a much lower position than that of the Young Tutor.
Those who are smarter will naturally know who to support.
"Yes, yes, I just saw it too. It was Miss Shen who had a few arguments with Madam Pei, but Madam Pei didn't do anything."
"I saw it too. The Second Lady was sitting here resting. She didn't move at all."
"right……"
“That’s right…”
Bai Shutong's face became even uglier when he heard what the women said.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly and gave Bai Shutong an almost provocative look.
——It’s really fun to be the vicious female supporting role.
A fox who borrows the power of a tiger and clings to the powerful can still make everyone submit.
Chen Congyue finally stood up. Her face was extremely gloomy. She stared at Pei Jingxu as if she wanted to peel off his bones and pull out his tendons!
She wanted to say something else, but the next second, her hand was grabbed by Bai Shutong.
"Alright, Congyue, we are all sisters and we are here to have fun. Let's not hurt the harmony."
Her voice softened again.
Taking Shen Congyue's hand, Bai Shutong smiled gently: "Let's go, I'll take you to the tent over there to change clothes."
With that, Bai Shutong took Shen Congyue away from the women's table.
As soon as the two of them left, the group of women came up and started asking Pei Jingxu about his well-being.
"Mrs. Pei, my father is the Deputy Minister of Public Administration. Nice to meet you."
"Second Madam, my brother is a scholar in the Cabinet and a student of Master Shaofu."
"I've long heard that the Second Lady is unparalleled in beauty. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is truly well-deserved."
“…”
Sure enough, Pei Jingxu still likes to be a villain and be flattered by others.
--
Inside the tent.
"Sister Bai, why are you pulling me here?" Shen Congyue's face was very ugly. "Then Pei is so arrogant, she should be taught a lesson!"
Bai Shutong handed the new clothes to Shen Congyue, and said patiently: "Congyue, she is now relying on the support of Master Shaofu, so she is naturally arrogant and domineering."
Handing the dress forward, Shen Congyue took a look at it, a strange light flashed in her eyes: "Sister Bai, this is..."
Bai Shutong smiled meaningfully: "Congyue, if you can capture Master Shaofu tonight, all the favor and favour will belong to you."
