Chapter 199 Divorce
The ruined gods and Buddhas could not hear her prayers.
She heard the man's muffled laughter behind her.
"As you wish."
…
Pei Jingxu was carried back to the Zen room by Rong Jianxue.
She had fallen into a deep sleep, and in her hazy state she could only feel the man kissing her between the eyebrows.
"A Xu will choose me, right..."
Choose...what?
Pei Jingxu didn't understand, and she wanted to ask him.
But she was so tired and sleepy that after struggling for a long time, she finally fell into a deep sleep.
--
The next morning.
Hongyao knocked on Pei Jingxu's door and said, "Miss, the young master and Guard Jiang are already waiting outside the temple."
Pei Jingxu propped himself up and stood up, his eyes still bleary. “Come in and help me wash up.”
"yes."
After washing up, Hongyao packed her luggage and followed Pei Jingxu out of the Randeng Temple.
Outside the temple gate, Rong Jianxue had already arrived.
Pei Jingxu walked forward, holding up her skirt: "I'm fine, let's go."
Rong Jianxue nodded slightly and got into the carriage with her.
Pei Jingxu didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Jiang Hui’s expression was a little...hesitant to speak?
Without paying much attention, Jiang Hui drove the carriage down the mountain.
When the carriage entered the city gate and was about to reach the Rong Mansion, Pei Jingxu smiled and looked at Rong Jianxue beside him: "Ah Xu heard from Guard Jiang that the threshold of the Rong Mansion was almost broken down during your absence."
Rong Jianxue said calmly, "If you do something wrong, you must bear the consequences. There's no point looking for me."
The carriage stopped outside the Rong Mansion.
Hongyao was in the carriage following behind.
She got off the carriage first and saw servants coming in and out of the Rong Mansion, fiddling with various tables and chairs.
With a bit of confusion in her eyes, Hongyao stepped forward and wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Jiang Hui who jumped out of the carriage.
"Miss Hongyao!" Jiang Hui got off the carriage and ran to Hongyao, smiling somewhat flatteringly, "Miss Hongyao, let me carry your luggage for you."
Hongyao smiled, not noticing anything wrong, and thanked Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui took the luggage from the carriage and laughed dryly: "Miss Hongyao, I will go with you to put the luggage. You lead the way."
Hongyao smiled and said yes, then scratched her head in confusion: "Guard Jiang, do you know why these servants want to display the things in the Rong Mansion?"
Jiang Hui also scratched his head: "Should, should we replace them with new ones and move the old ones out?"
Hongyao nodded, not quite understanding.
She trotted over to Pei Jingxu's carriage and said respectfully, "Miss, I'll go and put the luggage with Guard Jiang first."
"good."
Jiang Hui then brought Hongyao into the Rong Mansion.
Naturally, she also heard the noise outside the door.
Frowning slightly, Pei Jingxu lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and clearly saw many servants coming and going, carrying tables, chairs, beds and mats to the carriage not far away.
That doesn't look like buying a new item, it looks more like... moving.
Pei Jingxu's eyes darkened slightly, and she inexplicably recalled what Bai Shutong had said to her at Randeng Temple.
[When you return to the Rong Mansion, there will be a surprise waiting for you. ]
For some reason, Pei Jingxu had a bad feeling in his heart.
She turned to look at Rong Jianxue beside her.
The man sat upright, his expression cold and calm.
Pei Jingxu got off the carriage.
She casually called out to a servant who was moving something, her tone slightly tense: "What are you moving?"
The servant was slightly startled when he saw Pei Jingxu, and hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Second Madam."
"Second Madam, these are the things from the West Courtyard. They are almost finished moving."
Pei Jingxu's face darkened slightly: "Why do you want to move things from the west courtyard?"
The servant was stunned: "Second Madam, the Rong family has split up. The eldest and second sons have separated from the master and his wife and moved to their own houses."
In an instant, it seemed like a muffled thunder exploded in Pei Jingxu's mind.
She frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand what the servant said.
The servant seemed to have no idea that Pei Jingxu didn't even know about this.
He looked at her cautiously: "Second Madam, Master Shaofu...didn't he tell you?"
Pei Jingxu moved his eyes, turned around and looked at the carriage.
Rong Jianxue was still sitting in the carriage, lifting a corner of the curtain, her eyebrows and eyes were cold and noble.
The moment she looked into the man's eyes, Pei Jingxu finally reacted.
——So, Rong Jianxue agreed to split the family.
Rong Xuanzhou proposed to split up the huge Rong Mansion, but the Rong couple were hesitant, so whether to split up depended on Rong Jianxue.
Rong Jianxue agreed.
But, but he had clearly promised her...
There was confusion and bewilderment in her eyes as she looked at the man, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock.
Perhaps a servant informed Rong, and soon Rong walked out of the Rong Mansion and saw Pei Jingxu standing outside the gate.
"Pei Jingxu, are you satisfied now?"
"You separated my two sons and left me and the master in the Rong Mansion. Are you satisfied now?"
As Rong spoke, she stepped forward and tried to push her.
But before she could even reach out her hand, Rong Jianxue's voice rang out from the carriage: "Mother."
With just two words, Rong was like a frightened bird and stopped what he was doing instantly.
She looked at Rong Jianxue in the carriage in a panic. Rong bit her lip slightly, her face haggard. "Jianxue, go see your father. He hasn't had a good sleep in a few days."
"And your brother, he practices martial arts in the yard day and night. Mother is really worried about him..."
As she spoke, Rong wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and a hint of fatigue appeared between her brows.
Finally got off the carriage.
Rong Jianxue walked to Pei Jingxu, glanced at her sideways, didn't say anything to her, and stepped into the Rong Mansion.
Pei Jingxu stood where she was, letting the servants passing by her. Rong glared at her fiercely but didn't dare to say anything. She followed Rong Jianxue into the Rong Mansion.
--
Night falls.
Upon learning that Young Master Rong Jianxue had returned, the officials and ministers who had been quiet for a few days got wind of the news and all went to Rong's mansion to "visit" Young Master.
It is said that Rong Jianxue returned the greetings from all the ministers.
The main hall of the Rong Mansion was brightly lit. Rong Baimao, Rong Xuanzhou and Rong Jianxue chatted in the main hall for an unknown amount of time.
Partial room in the west courtyard.
Pei Jingxu sat at the desk, slightly dazed.
There is nothing left in the west courtyard, and the division of the family property is a foregone conclusion.
The moonlight was like water, and someone pushed open the door and appeared in front of her.
Pei Jingxu slowly raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the person who came.
"Rong Jianxue, you lied to me." She spoke softly, her emotions unclear.
The man's eyes were clear and handsome as he looked down at her.
"You promised me that you would not agree to split up the family."
——Her plan fell through.
When the two families lived together, she was still nominally Rong Xuanzhou's "wife", so no one would suspect anything even if she was pregnant.
Now that Rong Jianxue agreed to the separation, she was actually forcing her to make a choice.
Make a clear choice between Rong Xuanzhou and him.
Rong Jianxue reached out, placed a piece of paper on the table, and pushed it in front of her.
"What's this?"
"The divorce agreement," Rong Jianxue said calmly, "I got it from my mother."
The divorce agreement written by Rong Shi, including the part about Rong Xuanzhou, used his private seal.
"Sign it."
