Chapter 177 "What is this, Pei Jingxu?"
He hasn't been here for two days.
It's not because he doesn't dare, but the prince has stepped in to deal with this matter. If he leaves again, others will inevitably gossip about him.
So he just asked Jiang Hui to tell her not to worry, and that he would be able to take her back in two days.
Two days passed quickly. Before the news of Pei's intention to poison the child could even spread, the news from the Dali Temple was heard.
After a special investigation, it was found that the maid who committed suicide out of fear of punishment was dissatisfied with Pei's discipline, so she designed to poison the child in order to destroy Pei's reputation and accuse herself of a crime.
A headless case was overturned by the prince Shen Qianfan himself.
Moreover, his house arrest has not been lifted yet, and he is still kneeling in Fengxian Hall reciting the Treatise on State Governance, waiting for Rong Jianxue's review.
As soon as the charges were cleared, Rong Jianxue came to the dungeon to pick her up.
Hearing her soft sobs, Rong Jianxue pursed her lips slightly, frowned and glanced at the jailer beside her.
The jailer's eyes widened, his legs weakened, and he almost fell to the ground. "Master, Master, please understand. I have not dared to neglect Second Madam in the past two days, and I have not let her suffer the slightest injustice!"
Not to mention feeling wronged, he couldn't even bear to sip a sip of water without this Miss Pei!
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything, but walked towards Pei Jingxu's prison door.
There was a sound of "clang".
The sound of an iron lock falling to the ground was heard. The woman had her back to the prison door, but when she heard the sound, she was like a frightened bird. Her shoulders shrank and she turned around in panic to look!
The moment he saw Rong Jianxue——
The corners of the woman's eyes turned red, and the tears that had been accumulating in the corners of her eyes burst out!
Without even a moment's hesitation, Pei Jingxu took two steps forward and put his arms around the man's neck: "Jun Mou!"
Hot tears flowed down the man's neck and onto his chest.
The jailer opened his eyes wide, and for a moment he thought he had seen it wrong!
Rong Jianxue's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled nonchalantly. She put one hand around her waist and held her in her arms: "Didn't Jiang Hui tell you, it's just a small matter."
Pei Jingxu cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. She hugged the man and refused to let go: "Ah, Ah Xu is scared... It's so dark and wet here... Ah Xu is so scared..."
Rong Jianxue narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip around her waist.
"Why did you come to save me just now..."
"A Xu doesn't know what to do..."
"Guard Jiang didn't tell me anything..."
Her body was so soft and light that the man could easily pick her up with one hand.
The softness of her whole body was like flower petals under the rain and dew, with branches and vines entwining him.
Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes to look at her, and gently stroked her back with his other hand, as if soothing a furious cat.
"It's all right now. It's all resolved."
He said this, his voice a little softer than usual.
The jailer standing by widened his eyes and his jaw dropped to the ground!
This, this, this, if he remembered correctly——
This Miss Pei and Master Shaofu, it seems like they shouldn't have such a close relationship! ?
Noticing the jailer here, Rong Jianxue narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the jailer.
The jailer gasped, not daring to say a word, and lowered his head in panic, as if he wanted to bury his head in the ground!
As if she had just noticed something was wrong between them, Pei Jingxu sobbed, hurriedly pushed Rong Jianxue away, and left his arms.
The hand covering her lower back did not move away. Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes to look at her and said in a low voice: "Go out first."
Pei Jingxu lowered his head and nodded.
Rong Jianxue took Pei Jingxu out of the dungeon.
After staying in the dungeon for two days, Pei Jingxu closed his eyes and frowned uncomfortably when he suddenly returned to the bright daylight.
"Why did the Dali Temple let me out again?" Pei Jingxu turned around and asked, feigning confusion. "Did they find out that I was framed?"
Rong Jianxue nodded: "It has been investigated, no one will gossip, don't worry."
Biting her lip slightly, Pei Jingxu shed tears: "Ah Xu, I don't know what I did wrong. I don't know who is so despicable as to want to kill me..."
The man lowered his eyes to look at her, his dark pupils deep: "You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of the rest."
Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes and rolled his eyeballs.
She naturally knew that it was Bai Shutong who framed her.
She naturally also knew that Bai Shutong was now a cunning rabbit with three burrows. Without solid evidence, she had many people to rely on, so it was unrealistic to defeat her in one fell swoop.
——But it’s okay to let her bleed a little and lose some flesh.
"How is Nuonuo? Is she okay now?" Pei Jingxu raised his eyes with a hint of insincere worry in them.
Rubbing the Buddhist beads on his wrist, Rong Jianxue said in a cold and indifferent tone, "Since he's been poisoned, it's naturally not that easy to recover."
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly and understood what Rong Jianxue meant.
——Since we are acting out a scene about being poisoned, wouldn’t it be a disservice to the little girl’s acting skills if we don’t let her get really poisoned?
Pei Jingxu said nothing more and followed Rong Jianxue into the carriage back to Rong Mansion.
On the way back to Rong Mansion, Pei Jingxu glanced sideways at Rong Jianxue who was standing beside him.
He was closing his eyes, resting.
Pei Jingxu was so focused on acting that she didn't notice it just now, but now she saw that there were some dark circles under the man's eyes.
I guess he didn't sleep well these past two days.
The "hardship" in prison was nothing to Pei Jingxu, and it made her understand one thing.
——She could be taken out safely in two days. Rong Jianxue, this "backer", might be more worthy of her dependence than she imagined.
So, she needs to hurry up with her plan.
She only believed that having a child would make Rong Jianxue devoted to her. Even if he later learned of her plans and arrangements, he would not ignore her for the sake of the child.
The carriage moved forward steadily. The man's eyelashes were as thick and long as crow feathers. He twisted the Buddhist beads on his wrist lightly, as if he was resting his eyes.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.
“Ding-dong—”
It was the sound of two people's jade pendants colliding.
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly, and before he could open his eyes, weight pressed down on his legs, and a slender, cool hand covered his eyes.
The fragrance of flowers wafted in, and before Rong Jianxue could react, the next second, Jasmine's cool warmth covered his lips, and she imitated his previous behavior, prying open his teeth.
His broad, slender palm rested on her lower back.
The Buddhist beads on the wrist bones fit perfectly into the woman's waist.
The woman moaned softly and deepened the kiss on her lips.
Wenliang's hand fell on his eyebrows, the man's vision was plundered, and his other senses became particularly sharp and clear.
She imitated his way of kissing him, but he robbed her of all the air she could breathe. Instead, she whimpered and begged for mercy.
The long eyelashes brushed against Pei Jingxu's palm, like feathers, causing an unbearable itch.
The Buddhist beads were wrapped around her waist.
The man grabbed her wrist with one hand and looked at her intently with his dark eyes filled with desire.
"What is this, Pei Jingxu?"
He asked her, his voice hoarse and low.
There were still tears in the corners of the woman's eyes, but she leaned over and kissed his lips again.
