Chapter 249 Follow Me Back to Beijing
He seemed to have a morbid obsession with getting her pregnant.
The heartache and concern I had before are all gone.
He bit her earlobe and whispered something in her ear.
Pei Jingxu's eyes were red and tears welled up in the corners.
Under the man's silent urging, she spoke while crying.
"Thank you, thank you for your mercy, Bodhisattva..."
…
Until evening.
Pei Jingxu didn't sleep well either. The man hugged her from behind, and they were silent for a while.
She could feel the man's gaze on her from behind.
——He was not asleep.
Pei Jingxu half-closed his eyes and could clearly hear the man's steady and strong heartbeat.
"Isn't the imperial edict enough?"
Pei Jingxu: “?”
The man's voice was low and cold, and his words were so inexplicable that Pei Jingxu couldn't react to what they meant.
He also seemed to know that she was not asleep.
The force on her arm increased a little, and Rong Jianxue whispered in her ear: "Pei Jingxu, isn't the imperial edict enough?"
Pei Jingxu pursed her lips slightly. She didn't say anything and didn't know what to say.
——What she wanted was never an imperial decree.
Without hearing her answer, the man behind her seemed to be silent for a moment, thinking about something.
I don’t know how long it took.
Pei Jingxu heard the man's voice again. It was pressed against her back, and she could clearly feel the vibration of his chest when he spoke.
"I will inherit the throne in the future," Rong Jianxue said calmly, as if speaking of something very easy and natural. "If your goal is to become empress, why not ask me for help?"
Pei Jingxu: “…”
Finally, Pei Jingxu took a deep breath, turned around, and met the man's eyes.
The two of them were covered with the same quilt, on which was a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, very close to each other.
"Rong Jianxue, I have never wanted any imperial edict or the title of empress."
The reason why she said that before was just a means to deceive Rong Jianxue and make her feel sorry for her.
Pei Jingxu had plenty of money, so there was no need for her to cling to the title of a noble lady.
not to mention.
——She is a vicious female supporting role, stingy and despicable. How can she be qualified to be the queen?
Hearing her say this, the man's eyes darkened, and something flashed in his eyes as he looked at her.
He still looked at her, impartially, without dodging or avoiding.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his mouth and said, "If you find it difficult to ask me for help, I can forgive you."
She was given one "forgiveness" after another, which was almost absurd.
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly and looked at him seriously: "Rong Jianxue, Xiaofeng told me that you scratched Bai Shutong's face."
A hint of deep sorrow flashed in his eyes. Rong Jianxue pursed his lips, his expression slightly colder. "It's just a warning to her. It's not as scary as he said."
After a pause, Rong Jianxue added coldly, "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. I'm just teaching her this lesson."
He deliberately described his behavior at the time as milder and more reasonable.
Pei Jingxu just looked at him without saying a word.
Finally, Rong Jianxue frowned slightly, grabbed her waist with one hand, and hugged her tightly in his arms: "Pei Jingxu, don't be afraid of me."
"I'm already in control."
"It was just her standing there, looking at me with such smugness, that was a provocation to me."
"Pei Jingxu, don't be afraid of me."
"Don't be afraid of me."
Pei Jingxu finally understood why he had passed over the matter at that time.
So, Rong Jianxue felt that his methods were a bit cruel and was worried that she would be afraid of him if she knew?
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu chuckled.
She felt the man's slightly tense body.
"They all say that Bai Shutong's face looks a lot like mine. Rong Jianxue, when you attacked me, weren't you afraid you might have made a mistake?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Jianxue's pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, with a hint of coldness and confusion in his eyes.
"How are they similar?"
He didn't even seem to understand the question Pei Jingxu asked.
They were clearly two completely different faces; he could tell them apart at a glance.
The reason why he was angry at Bai Shutong's face at that time was simply because she wore her dress, wore her hairpin, and even used her cosmetics that day.
Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered slightly: "Xiaofeng said you caught Bai Shutong?"
"Yeah," Rong Jianxue responded emotionlessly, her tone cold, "Imprisoned on death row."
Pei Jingxu leaned against his chest and reminded him in a muffled voice, "She's very cunning and will seize any opportunity to escape."
Rong Jianxue pinched her lower back: "She won't."
Pei Jingxu didn't know why Rong Jianxue was so sure, but what Rong Jianxue said would not surprise anyone.
"Rong Jianxue, Xiaofeng asked me today if I like you."
Pei Jingxu looked up at him with a smile on his face.
She felt the man's sudden tightening force.
"You know how I answered?"
The man pressed his thin lips into a line, remained silent, and just looked down at her.
"I told him, I don't know either."
Upon hearing this answer, the hand that was pinching Pei Jingxu's lower back tightened even more. Before she could react, she was pressed under the man again.
Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered, and the dim candlelight entered her eyes.
He leaned over and held her lips: "Pei Jingxu, you like me."
He said this and no one could argue with him.
"Tomorrow, we will return to Beijing."
Rong Jianxue said this, deepening the kiss.
Probably out of revenge for Pei Huaifeng's "informing", Rong Jianxue kissed her shoulder and whispered, "Go check on Pei Huaifeng's arm some other day."
--
The night is long.
The next day, Pei Jingxu was carried into the carriage by Rong Jianxue.
After the matter in Luzhou was settled, they were about to return to Beijing.
Outside the house where he had lived for more than a month, countless low-key and luxurious carriages were lined up, attracting the attention of many people.
Aunt Sun from next door burst into tears when she saw Pei Jingxu: "Ah Xu, why are you leaving so soon?"
A few days ago, Aunt Sun saw many private soldiers coming into Pei Jingxu's house, and was worried that she was in danger, so she gathered a few neighbors and brought hoes and shovels to rescue her.
Not surprisingly, they were arrested by the officers and soldiers. After Jiang Hui learned about this, he did not blame them. Instead, he thanked these neighbors and villagers for their care and sent a lot of fish and meat to every household.
Aunt Sun was still worried and asked them what they were doing. Jiang Hui said that they were his mother's family members from the capital, and they had come to take Pei Jingxu back to the capital for a reunion.
So Aunt Sun and others knew early on that Pei Jingxu was leaving, but when they saw a row of carriages carrying large and small bags of luggage out, Aunt Sun still had tears in her eyes.
She brought a lot of bacon from home and said, "Ah Xu, Ah Xu, save some for home. When you've settled down in the capital, remember to come back and see Auntie!"
Although Pei Jingxu only lived here for more than a month, he still had deep feelings for his fellow villagers and neighbors.
Her eyes were moist and she nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will come back to see you often after the matter in the capital is resolved."
Aunt Sun nodded and glanced at the man next to Pei Jingxu.
He has a well-proportioned figure, like an immortal.
Aunt Sun came back to her senses in an instant from her sadness: "Ah Xu, this is..."
"This, this is me—"
"Husband," Rong Jianxue took over her words and nodded slightly towards Aunt Sun, "I am her husband."
Aunt Sun's eyes widened and she whispered, "Ah Xu, didn't you tell me that your husband is dead?"
