Chapter 200 "You can only choose me."
Pei Jingxu's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She first glanced at the divorce agreement that was pushed to her hand, then raised her eyes to look at Rong Jianxue, her eyes flickering.
"This purge of the imperial court was your plan, right?"
Mo Tong's eyes were cold and the look he gave Pei Jingxu was as dim as a candle flame.
The court was cleared up. Rong Jianxue clearly knew that Rong Xuanzhou and Rong Baimao had close relationships with the prince, so they were punished and the Rong family's status in the capital plummeted.
Rong Baimao has always attached great importance to family traditions. With two sons in front of him, everyone would praise them when they saw them. Rong Baimao could also better control the two of them, so even if Rong Jianxue agreed to separate the family, Rong Baimao would not agree easily.
Rong Jianxue knew this clearly.
In this purge, Rong Xuanzhou and Rong Baimao were seen by the emperor as the prince's cronies, and the emperor would not allow it.
Rong Boyao was also well aware of this. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to split up the family and distance himself from Rong Xuanzhou in order to dispel the emperor's suspicion.
——This is the main reason why Rong Baimao agreed to split the family.
Pei Jingxu didn't know how Rong Jianxue persuaded the Rong family and how he got the divorce letter.
But since this divorce letter was in his hands, it meant that the Rong couple had surrendered to Rong Jianxue and allowed him to decide whether Pei Jingxu should stay or go.
In other words, in order to "please" Rong Jianxue, the Rong couple offered her away without hesitation.
So, in fact, Rong Jianxue didn't think of just asking her to lend him her seed from the beginning.
Pei Jingxu was in a mess and frowned.
The original plan was disrupted. Pei Jingxu pursed his lips slightly and thought about the next plan.
She doesn't like the feeling of things being out of her control.
"Where is Rong Xuanzhou?"
Pei Jingxu asked him in a low voice.
The man's eyes were dark and unclear, and there was something surging in his eyes as he looked at her: "A Xu, sign."
He didn't answer any of her questions, but just tapped the table lightly, as if silently urging her.
A pair of almond-shaped eyes fixed on Rong Jianxue. Pei Jingxu stood up and met the man's gaze. "Master Master, do you think Ah Xu will definitely choose you?"
Rong Jianxue's eyes were calm: "Yes, you can only choose me."
The finger bones hidden in his sleeves were slightly curled, and Pei Jingxu looked at Rong Jianxue silently.
In Pei Jingxu's opinion, choosing Rong Jianxue was not a bad idea.
She has now had physical contact with him, and he will protect her at least for a short period of time.
Even if his passion for her fades in the future, as long as she is pregnant with his child, Rong Jianxue can protect her for the rest of her life.
But what if one day her "trick" is discovered?
At that time, she had no other cards left and could only wait for death.
Pei Jingxu dared to guarantee that if a gentleman like Rong Jianxue knew one day that she had played such a big chess game just to get close to him and seek his protection, her fate would definitely not be good even if they already had a child.
She frowned slightly. She had just come down the mountain and knew very little about the inside story.
——She must find an opportunity to see how much Rong Xuanzhou knows before making a decision.
Apart from the rational part, Pei Jingxu is now more angry and irritable.
Rong Jianxue broke his promise and said that he would not agree to split the family, but he took her to Randeng Temple, coaxing her while carrying out his own plan.
She felt the anger of being deceived.
At the same time, she also realized one thing: she was angry because of Rong Jianxue's "deception", but she didn't dare to imagine how Rong Jianxue would react after knowing her bigger plan and "deception".
Fear and anger coexist.
Pei Jingxu moved his eyes and avoided looking at the man.
Rong Jianxue was neither hurried nor slow, and the paper and the divorce letter were still placed neatly beside her.
"Rest early, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
It was as if he was sure that she would sign.
After saying that, Rong Jianxue turned around and left without lingering any longer.
The door closed.
Pei Jingxu didn't dare to stay for a moment. After Rong Jianxue left, he walked out of the room to inquire about Rong Xuanzhou's news.
At that time, Rong Xuanzhou was practicing sword in the courtyard.
According to the Rong family, ever since the order of punishment came down, Rong Xuanzhou has been practicing swordplay in the courtyard day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Bai Shutong seemed to have not returned for a few days. When Pei Jingxu came to the courtyard, he saw Rong Xuanzhou holding a long sword, dancing with a few sword flowers in his hand, and lifting up the dead leaves on the ground.
With a turn, the sword wind blew up the dead leaves and fluttered around the sword, finally rising high up, and then like a withered butterfly, it fluttered and fell down weakly.
He noticed Pei Jingxu's arrival.
The man's eyes focused slightly and he walked towards her.
"Why are you still here? Aren't you going to pack your bags?"
This was said a little too naturally. Pei Jingxu frowned slightly and said calmly, "My mother-in-law said you've been practicing swordsmanship these past few days and she's a little worried."
Hearing this, Rong Xuanzhou twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "It's just a minor punishment, but a serious warning. The emperor still values me."
Pei Jingxu didn't say anything, waiting for Rong Xuanzhou's next words.
Pei Jingxu was not sure how much Rong Xuanzhou knew about her relationship with Rong Jianxue, or whether he knew that Rong Jianxue had obtained the divorce letter from the Rong family.
But seeing that he looks so calm now, he probably doesn't know yet.
As expected.
Sheathing his sword, Rong Xuanzhou smiled at Pei Jingxu, "Don't worry, Xu. After we separate, I...I will get you pregnant sooner rather than later, and we can continue as before."
It seems that I don’t know.
Not only did he not know about the divorce letter, Rong Xuanzhou had never doubted where she went after the family split up.
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Originally, she thought that if Rong Xuanzhou knew about what happened between her and Rong Jianxue, she would not have to explain it, and she would not have to consider whether to continue to keep Rong Xuanzhou as a way out.
But now, Rong Xuanzhou actually knew nothing, which made Pei Jingxu a little troubled for a moment.
Slightly stunned, Rong Xuanzhou just thought that Pei Jingxu was flattered by what he said.
Taking a few steps forward, Rong Xuanzhou took Pei Jingxu's wrist and said gently, "Ah Xu, how about we have a pair of children too?"
Thank you, no need to give birth.
Pei Jingxu had a slight headache.
Rong Jianxue, that bastard, clearly wanted her to confront Rong Xuanzhou herself and tell him in person what was going on between them!
Biting her lip slightly, Pei Jingxu took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Rong Xuanzhou, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?" Rong Xuanzhou looked at her with a smile, "What does Ah Xu want to say?"
Let her reveal her cards, she has been a bad person for a long time anyway.
"Rong Jianxue and I—"
"A Xu!" But before she could speak, Rong Xuanzhou seemed to realize something, and tightened his grip on her wrist, his eyes narrowed as he looked at her, and even his voice became a little stiff.
Rong Xuanzhou pulled the corner of his mouth, his voice trembling slightly: "We... let's talk about it after we separate, okay?"
"After we both leave the Rong Mansion, you can say whatever you want."
