Chapter 159 The One Who Spends the Night Together~
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged: "It's common to find painkilling drugs mixed into ointments."
Jiang Hui understood Rong Jianxue's meaning and bowed his head respectfully: "I understand."
Looking at the sleeping woman in front of him, Rong Jianxue suppressed his surging emotions.
He did use some dirty tricks.
But the medicinal properties in the ointment alone were not enough to arouse him.
He also knew that she chose him now and wanted the bloodline of the Rong family, but she just wanted to use the child to make Rong Xuanzhou change his mind.
——He didn't mind, or rather, he didn't care about her thoughts.
He would make her understand that.
…
Jiang Hui left the tent with a sullen expression and said nothing.
If you calculate carefully, the time he spent with the young master was even longer than that with the lady and the master.
Jiang Hui always felt that they didn't understand the eldest son.
In the eyes of the world, this young man is of high moral character and elegant appearance. There is nothing in this world that he cannot obtain.
Actually, it’s not like that.
It’s not so much that there is nothing that the young master cannot get, but rather that the young master has no interest in planning for those things.
For him, everything in the world came too easily, fame, power, or even the emperor's favor, as long as he wanted it, it was within his reach.
Therefore, he had no interest in these things.
It was for this reason that the young master chose to practice Buddhism, hoping to gain some insights that his predecessors had never known.
But if the young master really wants to monopolize something...
Even if he has to use any means necessary, he will keep it firmly in his hand.
Therefore, the game tonight was originally set up by the young master.
The second young master was injured, so the ointment he applied contained some aphrodisiac herbs.
The effect of the medicine is really not a big deal, it will just make people a little more thoughtful. If the second young master has a strong mind, the effect of the medicine will not have any effect at all.
But the young master calculated that the second young master would be confused and infatuated, so he sent him to "invite" the second lady over to let her catch him in the act.
Distract her, let her make a choice, let her choose him out of "jealousy".
Sometimes Jiang Hui even wondered if the young master had the ability to see through people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hui shrank his neck and stopped thinking about it.
"Guard Jiang, have you found Pei Jingxu?"
Not far away outside the tent, Rong Xuanzhou wrapped his outer robe around himself, frowned, and looked at Jiang Hui.
Perhaps out of the guilt after being with Bai Shutong, the worry on Rong Xuanzhou's face was quite genuine.
Jiang Hui's eyes turned cold: "Replying to the Second Young Master, I haven't found it yet."
Rong Xuanzhou frowned even more tightly, but said nothing more. He turned around and continued to search.
The night was quiet, and the tents in the enclosure were brightly lit.
--
When Pei Jingxu woke up, it was already noon.
The autumn hunt will continue today. She glanced beside her and found that Rong Jianxue had already left.
When Pei Jingxu got off the bed, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Supporting his waist, Pei Jingxu bit his lip slightly and secretly cursed Rong Jianxue as a beast.
Jiang Hui's voice came from outside the door: "Second Madam, are you awake?"
Pei Jingxu responded, "Yes...it's me."
Jiang Hui didn't rush in and said respectfully, "The new clothes and jewelry are by the bed. I will go find Hongyao to serve you."
"Thank you, Guard Jiang."
Not long after Jiang Hui left, Hongyao opened the tent door and walked in hurriedly.
Seeing Pei Jingxu, Hongyao's eyes lit up: "Miss, are you okay?"
Pei Jingxu shook his head, signaling her to rest assured.
Hongyao also knew that this was not the place to talk, so she helped Pei Jingxu change his clothes and tie his hair.
"Where's Rong Jianxue?"
Pei Jingxu asked softly while changing clothes.
"My lady, the young master went hunting early this morning, and the second young master and that Bai family member went together again."
When saying this, Hongyao's face was cold and gloomy, and she was indignant.
Pei Jingxu was in a good mood today. He just chuckled when he heard the news and was not affected at all.
Now her plan has completed a big step. At least in the short term, no one dares to touch her life.
She needed Rong Jianxue's child to leave herself a way out, but she also knew that if she really had a child, this child would "appear out of thin air" for Rong Xuanzhou.
Therefore, she needed to find a way to "sleep together" with Rong Xuanzhou once.
Before the child is found, Pei Jingxu must make all preparations.
What she wants is absolute certainty.
These are all things that happened later. Anyway, now Pei Jingxu is in a very good mood because he is eating Rong Jianxue!
After I finished washing up in the room, the sun outside had already reached noon.
Outside the tent, Jiang Hui said respectfully, "Second Madam, lunch will be served in the main tent. Please move."
"I see."
As he walked out of the tent, Pei Jingxu saw Jiang Hui standing guard outside.
Jiang Hui looked at Pei Jingxu with even more respect and bowed slightly: "Second Madam, I will take you there."
"Thank you, Guard Jiang."
…
When Pei Jingxu arrived outside the tent, he saw Rong Xuanzhou at a glance.
I heard that he hunted a sika deer this morning, and he became quite famous for a while.
Seeing Pei Jingxu, Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly and his face turned cold.
He walked over to Pei Jingxu in two or three steps, and looked at her with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Pei Jingxu, where have you been?"
It was naturally impossible for Pei Jingxu to say that he had slept with his elder brother.
Raising her eyes slightly, she looked at Rong Xuanzhou seriously and calmly: "What's the matter?"
Seeing Pei Jingxu like this, Rong Xuanzhou's anger was choked for a moment, and he frowned slightly: "Do you know that I was looking for you all night last night?"
"Pei Jingxu, can you please be more understanding? Do you know how worried I am about you?!"
Pei Jingxu chuckled softly, pretending to be mocking and forbearing: "Did my husband really look for me all night?"
Rong Xuanzhou pursed his lips slightly, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Pei Jingxu turned her head away: "It's nothing, I'm fine, there's no need for you to worry."
After saying that, Pei Jingxu walked past Rong Xuanzhou and headed into the tent.
Due to the shortage of seats in the tent, except for unmarried women, men and women were not seated separately at the dinner table.
Pei Jingxu randomly picked a seat and sat down, preparing to eat.
——She was really hungry.
Rong Jianxue stayed up very late last night, and Pei Jingxu really had no energy left.
While waiting for the banquet to be served, the women at the table began to chat.
"Hey, hey, hey, did you all hear it last night?"
"I heard it, I heard it..."
"That sound seems to be coming from General Xuanzhou's tent..."
As he said this, the eyes of the female relatives fell on Pei Jingxu.
——They all thought that the person who “spent the night” with Rong Xuanzhou last night was her, the legal wife.
Yesterday, Pei Jingxu had a few conversations with several female relatives and their relationship became quite close.
Several women sat beside Pei Jingxu and asked teasingly, "Second Madam, General Xuanzhou is so energetic. He stayed up so late last night with you..."
Pei Jingxu pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
The women sitting together were all married, so they were quite frank about matters between men and women.
"Second Madam, please tell us," the woman who was trustworthy blushed slightly and lowered her voice. "Everyone says that General Xuanzhou and Second Madam are not in harmony, but what we heard last night is not the case..."
Pei Jingxu still had a decent smile on her face, and she was about to say something.
A voice came from above her head.
"Is anyone here?"
The smile on Pei Jingxu's face froze and his body tensed.
