Chapter 239 Whose husband hasn’t died yet?
New house.
No, it was already the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time.
When Jiang Hui came out of the study, cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes.
The weather is still bad today, gloomy and depressing, and it seems that a torrential rain will come at any time.
Recalling the conversation he had just had with the young master, Jiang Hui was still frightened and afraid.
Following the news that Pei Jingxu had left the city that day, he found out the man who was with her.
——He is a waiter at Nanfeng Pavilion.
Jiang Hui shrank his neck, trembling with fear when he thought of the young master's expression just now.
After leaving the study, a servant came to inform the commander of the Imperial Guards that he wanted to see him.
Jiang Hui walked to the front door of the mansion and nodded slightly to the visitor.
The commander of the Imperial Guards had a slightly darker expression on his face. He clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Master Jiang Hui, I have already passed on the news as instructed by the young master."
Jiang Hui nodded: "Thank you, Commander."
The commander of the Imperial Guards rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Tell me, Lord Jiang Hui, where is the Crown Prince now?"
When mentioning Crown Prince Chen Qianfan, Jiang Hui's expression turned a little colder.
"I understand what the commander is worried about, but rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound." Jiang Hui paused, his tone slightly lowered. "Young Master's point is that if you do something wrong, you must pay the price, and no one is exempt."
The commander shuddered suddenly and nodded slightly: "I understand."
--
Ten days later, the carriage stopped in Luzhou.
Pei Jingxu gave Hongyao his indenture and a large sum of money, enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.
She is in this situation now, and no one knows what disaster she will face in the future. Pei Jingxu doesn't want to implicate Hongyao.
But when Pei Jingxu told Hongyao these words, Hongyao knelt down in front of Pei Jingxu and cried, saying that she would rather die than go anywhere else but stay with the girl.
It was then that Pei Jingxu suddenly realized that besides Pei Huaifeng, there was someone else who stood firmly by her side after knowing all her evil and unbearable deeds.
Luzhou has beautiful scenery and is far away from Chang'an. If what Bai Shutong said is true, if they stay away from where the heroine is, she and Pei Huaifeng should not be in danger of their lives.
Pei Jingxu rented a house in Luzhou and lived with Pei Huaifeng and Hongyao.
She brought enough property with her from the capital, so she didn't have to worry about anything even if she squandered it.
After staying in Luzhou for half a month, Pei Jingxu finally calmed down from his previous worries and anxieties.
When she first came to Luzhou, she always had nightmares. In her dreams, Rong Jianxue was holding a crossbow, drawing the bow and shooting arrows at her.
Behind him, Bai Shutong was talking and laughing, with a beautiful appearance.
The two of them are like a perfect match.
Intellectually, Pei Jingxu felt that the man on the city wall that day was not him.
Although they were too far away and Pei Jingxu couldn't see her face clearly, she always felt that if Rong Jianxue was standing there, she would not be able to take her eyes off her.
But emotionally, Pei Jingxu knew very well that if she fled the capital this time, Bai Shutong would definitely tell Rong Jianxue everything about her, including her lies and seductions.
Thinking about it carefully, if someone deceived her like this, Pei Jingxu would want to kill him as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether it was Rong Jianxue on the city wall that day, it seemed that she would not have a good ending.
Later, she finally recovered from the panic of that day and gradually stopped having nightmares.
Rong Jianxue didn't come, so I guess she is now with Bai Shutong.
Pei Jingxu knew Bai Shutong's abilities. As long as it was a man she wanted to win over, she could easily win him over if she put in a little more effort.
Perhaps she overestimated herself. She had been escaping from the capital for so long, but Rong Jianxue's army had not come looking for her. They probably had forgotten her long ago.
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu felt a little lost in his heart, but more of it was a sense of ease and laziness.
Pei Jingxu had been in Luzhou for half a month. The neighbors were all very kind to her. When they heard her accent and knew she was from another place, and saw that she was traveling with a younger brother, they thought she was a poor child, so every household helped her a little.
Pei Jingxu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this.
Pei Huaifeng, to put it nicely, is a man of gratitude and chivalrous spirit; to put it bluntly, he is a carefree child king.
When he heard from his neighbors that the private school was short of a teacher to teach riding, archery and martial arts, he decided to take the exam without saying a word.
They use the excuse that the world is not peaceful enough these days, and it is always good to teach these children some self-defense skills.
Pei Jingxu was helpless, but he just let him go.
He had been hiding before, but now he finally had someone to talk to, so he was naturally happy.
Pei Jingxu no longer used the money to open a shop or anything like that, for fear that it would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives and cause trouble.
Since he had enough money to spend, Pei Jingxu simply took out some money to give porridge to the refugees passing by a few times, and actually left a good reputation for himself.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Luzhou is not like the capital, and a lot of news takes ten days or half a month to reach here.
She didn't deliberately inquire about his news. A month was a long time, so long that Pei Jingxu felt that Rong Jianxue had disappeared from her life.
She thought that as long as she stayed away from the capital and never went back, as long as she could spend the rest of her life peacefully with Xiaofeng, she would not ask for anything else.
Pei Jingxu is very beautiful, one of the most beautiful ones.
When she first came to Luzhou, she caused quite a stir.
When many young men from wealthy families heard that a beautiful woman had come to Luzhou, some of them were so rude that they peeked inside through the cracks in the doors.
Fortunately, Pei Huaifeng was there and always with her, so others thought they were a foreign couple. Over time, those people gave up their thoughts.
After getting along with the neighbors for a long time, the surrounding neighbors knew about their relationship.
Old Mrs. Sun, who lived across the wall, came to the door several times and said she wanted to arrange a marriage for Pei Jingxu.
"Oh, Miss Pei, you're old enough now. Although Xiaofeng can protect you now, you'll have to start your own business sooner or later," Old Lady Sun looked at her worriedly, as if she were looking at her own child. "You still need to find someone you can confide in and live with."
The world is a bit chaotic nowadays. Miss Pei is beautiful, and many handsome young men around her are eyeing her covetously. If Pei Huaifeng was not good at martial arts and was not always by her side to protect her, Old Lady Sun didn't know what would have happened.
Pei Jingxu twitched the corners of his lips uncomfortably: "Auntie Sun, I'm actually... already married."
When Old Lady Sun heard this, her eyes widened, but she only took a sip of tea to accept the news immediately.
"That's okay. Every family has lost a husband. Don't be afraid, Miss Pei. You're so beautiful, even if I have to look for one, I'll find you a good husband!"
In the eyes of Old Lady Sun, even if Pei Jingxu was married, ordinary people would not be worthy of her, so she had to find the best!
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu opened his mouth and wanted to explain something.
She...she didn't say her husband was dead...
But when he saw the kind and compassionate look in Old Lady Sun's eyes, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Forget it, matchmaking isn't that easy.
Pei Jingxu thought so, but she never expected that just two days later, Old Lady Sun brought her one.
