Chapter 202 What if Ah Xu says no?
The next morning.
Pei Jingxu was awakened by Hongyao knocking on the door.
"Miss, Guard Jiang just said that the young master will be going to the new house today."
"Come in."
Pei Jingxu let Hongyao in: "Help me wash up."
"yes."
Coming to Pei Jingxu, Hongyao combed her hair and asked softly, "Miss, are we... going with the eldest master?"
Pei Jingxu looked at Hongyao in the bronze mirror, and raised the corner of his lips: "Do you want to go?"
Hongyao lowered her head, thought carefully, and then said softly, "I feel that the Rong family treats the young lady badly, and the eldest master favors the young lady, so there is nothing wrong with going to the new house."
After a pause, Hongyao frowned again: "But if you leave like this today, will the Second Young Master..."
Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
She knew that Rong Jianxue was forcing her to make a choice, or in other words, forcing her to completely break up with Rong Xuanzhou.
"Let's go, let's go...see Master Shaofu off."
Hongyao followed Pei Jingxu out of the room and came to the door of Rong Mansion.
At this time, there were already quite a few people standing in Rong Mansion.
In addition to the servants coming and going, the Rong couple were also standing outside the mansion with unfriendly expressions.
Rong Jianxue was leaving today. As his younger brother, Rong Xuanzhou should have come to see him off, but because of what happened last night, Rong Xuanzhou was still kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment.
Outside the mansion, servants came in and out, placing the few remaining items on the carriage at the back.
When she saw Pei Jingxu, Rong's face looked very ugly.
Rong Baimao glanced at Pei Jingxu with an uneasy look.
Pei Jingxu bowed slightly towards them as if he hadn't seen them. "Greetings, father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Rong Baimao snorted coldly and said nothing.
The hand hidden in her sleeve tightened even more. Rong took a few steps forward and said in a cold voice, "Pei Jingxu, I'm warning you, don't think I can't do anything to you just because you leave the old house."
Glancing at the low-key and reserved carriage, Rong lowered her voice even more: "Jianxue is only acting on impulse, so she's so concerned about you. You better recognize your place."
"If you dare to speak nonsense in front of him and ask him to take you as his concubine, I will fight you to the death!"
This is Rong's warning.
Rong Baimao also looked over, his eyes full of coldness and solemnity.
In their opinion, Pei Jingxu was just relying on her good looks to win Rong Jianxue's favor temporarily, but it was just for fun and it wouldn't last long.
After all, Pei had once called him "brother-husband", and Rong Jianxue had always been self-disciplined and respectful. Even though they were divorced now, he would definitely not plan to take Pei as a concubine or even marry her.
But it was a spur of the moment thing.
Pei Jingxu raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Rong with a smile, then followed her gaze and glanced at the carriage.
——Rong Jianxue is inside.
Without deliberately lowering her voice, Pei Jingxu spoke softly as usual, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? How could I leave the Rong family and my husband so easily?"
Jiang Hui was helping to carry the luggage.
Hearing Pei Jingxu's words, there was a "clang" sound, and the priceless golden nanmu box was almost lost.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on my back.
Jiang Hui had vowed to the young master last night that the second lady would definitely go with him today.
Why is the Second Lady saying this now?!
Jiang Hui wanted to cry but had no tears.
The man in the carriage was silent, but Jiang Hui was sure that the young master must have heard what the second lady had just said.
Outside the mansion, Rong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and frowned at her: "What do you mean?"
Pei Jingxu didn't want to say more, and only said, "Today I am here on behalf of Erlang to see my husband off."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs with the support of Hongyao.
Jiang Hui widened his eyes and looked at Pei Jingxu with panic and tension.
Pei Jingxu curled her lips slightly, but didn't look at him. She just bowed slightly in the direction of the carriage and said, "On behalf of my husband, I am here to escort Master Shaofu to his new house."
After saying that, he didn't care whether there was a response from the carriage and got on the carriage behind with Hongyao.
Jiang Hui watched Second Lady and Miss Hongyao get into the carriage, and they did not ride in the same carriage with the young master, with a trembling expression on his face.
He turned to face the carriage and said, "Sir, how about I..."
Please ask the second lady to come over?
"Walk."
Inside the carriage, the man's voice was cold and low, as if covered with a layer of frost.
Jiang Hui shuddered suddenly, but didn't dare to say a word. He just replied "yes" softly, bowed goodbye to the two people on the stone steps of Rong Mansion, and then drove away in the carriage.
Rong watched the carriages go away, her brows furrowed. She turned to Rong Bomao and said, "Master, Jianxue is a promising young man with a bright future ahead of him. Could you bear to let a divorced bitch ruin him and the future of the Rong family?"
Rong Baimao narrowed his eyes, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"No one should dare to tarnish the reputation of the Rong family."
--
No conversation along the way.
The carriage moved forward steadily. Pei Jingxu supported his head with one hand and closed his eyes to rest.
Hongyao, who was standing by, whispered, "Miss, why are we sending the eldest young master off in place of the second young master?"
Pei Jingxu chuckled when he heard this, and opened his eyes slightly to look at Hongyao beside him.
"It's just an excuse."
"So what exactly do you want, girl?"
Pei Jingxu stroked his fingertips and said coldly, "I want him to bow his head."
…
The carriage stopped.
Hongyao got off the carriage first, then turned around and wanted to help Pei Jingxu down.
But before she could reach out her hand, Jiang Hui beside her hurriedly called out "Miss Hongyao"!
Hongyao turned to look. Jiang Hui hurried to the carriage and nodded to Pei Jingxu. Then he said to Hongyao, "Miss Hongyao, um... we have some new cloth from the capital in our new house. Come with me to take a look and pick out some to make clothes for the Second Lady."
Hongyao was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to say that she would go later, Jiang Hui pushed her away from the carriage.
He was pushed into the new house.
Pei Jingxu's lips curled up into a smile, but it was not visible on his face.
She squatted down slightly and tried to jump off the carriage by herself.
But when she bent down, she saw Rong Jianxue standing in front of her in a deep blue robe.
A hand held her waist, Pei Jingxu screamed, the world spun around, and the man put her down steadily the next second.
With a hint of panic in her eyes and her deer pupils shaking slightly, Pei Jingxu looked at the man in front of her with fear and uncertainty.
The distance is too close.
Frowning slightly, Pei Jingxu broke free from the man's arms and took a few steps back.
"You said something angry to your mother."
The man lowered his eyes, his dark pupils were cold and calm, showing no emotion.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
With a light laugh, Pei Jingxu looked at him intently, "Sir, why do you think I will definitely choose you?"
Rong Jianxue's brows darkened: "You can only choose me."
The corners of his eyes turned red, and Pei Jingxu smiled self-deprecatingly: "What if Ah Xu says no?"
