Chapter 228 "Pei Jingxu, don't take your anger out on me."
Since the purge of the imperial court, the power of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince has diminished. If there is anyone who could have escaped unscathed during that purge, it would have to be Young Master Rong Jianxue.
Even the prime minister was dismissed for favoritism, but the young master rose to the top like a crane in the blue sky.
In the men's seats, everyone was paying attention to the young master's every move.
All the male guests just saw that Guard Jiang said something in the ear of the Young Master, and then they saw that the Young Master frowned and looked gloomy.
——They thought something big had happened in the court!
Then, everyone stared intently as the young master stood up and walked step by step to the screen in front of the women's seats.
Barely standing still.
The whole room was in uproar.
The man, as tall as a jade mountain, stood in front of the screen. He didn't know what the woman behind the screen had said. He frowned slightly and said in a cold and calm voice, "Pei Jingxu, why are you angry?"
this……
If they remembered correctly, the relationship between Master Young Master and that Madam Pei Er... didn't seem to be one that could lead to such intimate questions, right?
The men's guests held their breath, waiting for what was to come.
Behind a screen, the female members of the family also widened their eyes, and their surprised and shocked gazes all fell on Pei Jingxu.
The smile on Bai Shutong's face froze and his expression turned ugly.
Pei Jingxu tilted his head slightly and squinted at Bai Shutong, with no disguising the provocation and malice in his eyes.
——You see, she really only knows how to depend on men.
But as long as he gets close to Rong Jianxue, even Bai Shutong has to behave well and bow down to her.
She didn't care about any means or any climbing. As long as she could survive and as long as she could surpass Bai Shutong, she would be extremely happy.
Looking at Bai Shutong, Pei Jingxu spoke in a clear voice: "Since Princess Anyang is unwilling to ask, then I will ask."
Pei Jingxu, still facing Bai Shutong, spoke to the man behind the screen, "I heard that Master Shaofu and Princess Anyang are getting married soon."
Behind the screen, Rong Jianxue frowned and said in a cold tone, "Nothing good is going to happen between her and me."
Not paying attention to the looks of the guests around her, Rong Jianxue slowly said, "Pei Jingxu, don't take your anger out on me because of someone irrelevant to you."
The Princess Anyang, who was personally conferred by His Majesty, was nothing more than an "insignificant person" in the eyes of this young tutor.
Everyone naturally heard that the words from the young master's mouth did not seem to be spoken to his... brother's wife.
He held his breath and didn't dare to say a word.
Pei Jingxu raised his lips and looked at Bai Shutong with mockery and sarcasm in his eyes, "But Master, Princess Anyang said that she has been coming in and out of your new house all day, helping you to prepare all the furnishings."
"Pei Jingxu!" Bai Shutong finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up suddenly and glared at her fiercely.
His eyes were wide open, his pupils were constricted, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar to theirs, which made me feel pity for him.
Bai Shutong moved his eyes and looked up in a panic, looking at the figure behind Pei Jingxu.
"Master, please forgive me. Sister Pei drank too much today, so she said some nonsense. It's all fabricated. Master, please don't blame me."
Look at what you said.
Pei Jingxu snorted and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Bai Shutong retreated to advance, but he said it was something "completely fictitious".
In the eyes of others, Princess Anyang did not want to "expose" her relationship with the Young Master, and did not want others to talk too much about the two of them.
She said this, and even if Rong Jianxue said it was a lie, others would only think that the Master chose to avoid the matter because of Bai Shutong's reputation and did not want people to know too early that the two of them were living together.
Bai Shutong's ears turned red as she bit her lip slightly. "Master Young Master, there's no need to listen to Sister Pei's nonsense. Shutong and Master Young Master have always been innocent. Sister Pei doesn't need to care so much about those groundless rumors."
An attitude that only makes things more obvious will make people more convinced.
As expected, after hearing Bai Shutong say this, the women began to talk among themselves, and the suspicion in their eyes lessened a little.
"Master Master, please return to your seat quickly. Shu Tong is really in a difficult situation with so many people watching."
As if taking the initiative, Bai Shutong pursed her lips and smiled, with a blush on the tips of her ears.
——Sometimes Pei Jingxu felt that Bai Shutong was able to become the heroine because she really had some skills.
It was clear that every word he said was true, but it gave people the illusion that he was trying to cover up something, and that there must have been a long-standing friendship between the two of them.
Pei Jingxu let out a low click, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
It seems that now, even if Rong Jianxue denies her relationship with Bai Shutong, it will only further confirm the "affair" between the two.
Pei Jingxu was very unhappy.
Behind the screen, the man has a graceful figure and a handsome appearance.
The night wind carried the man's cold and indifferent voice, like a cold moon immersed in a cold pond: "Pei Jingxu, answer."
Everyone was stunned.
——It seems that Princess Anyang just said so much, but this Master Young Master didn’t hear a single word! ?
Pei Jingxu was not happy, and her tone when speaking to Rong Jianxue was not very friendly: "Master Master, what do you want me to answer?"
Almost paranoid, Rong Jianxue said calmly, "Don't take your anger out on me. This is very unfair to me."
What's more, it was because of that irrelevant person.
Rong Jianxue felt that this was really unfair to him.
Everyone widened their eyes and stood there in a daze.
The man didn't care about the looks of the people around him, and answered her question seriously: "You are the one who takes care of all the furnishings in the house."
Pei Jingxu smiled, her expression profound, "Master Young Master, what are you talking about? I'm not related to you, so how can I take care of your new house for you?"
Rong Jianxue is tall and slender with an upright posture.
The night breeze was refreshing, blowing up the man's brocade robe.
"You are my fiancée, whom I intend to marry after three letters and six ceremonies."
——How can you be considered an outsider?
--
The night falls and the stars are as bright as day.
Outside the palace gate, in the carriage, the sound of a woman crying could be heard.
A low whimpering sound was heard. Jiang Hui sat outside the carriage with his back straight.
The palace banquet ended in a hurry.
After Rong Jianxue said that, the guests present seemed to be frozen, with astonishment and shock in their eyes.
Pei Jingxu still couldn't forget Bai Shutong's ferocious face full of anger and jealousy when Rong Jianxue took her away.
"concentrate."
Like a punishment, Rong Jianxue's light bite brought her back to her senses.
He forced her to lower her head and asked her to kiss him actively.
"Master, Master, Shu Tong wants to tell you something!"
Outside the carriage, Bai Shutong's trembling and unwilling voice was heard.
