Chapter 39 "Pei Jingxu."
Rong Jianxue's momentum was so fierce that Shen Congyue's eyes widened in fear, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.
Seeing this, Rong Shi hurriedly said, "Jianxue! Didn't I say it all? Miss Shen has already apologized. The maids and servants who were present just now saw it. What are you doing?"
As she spoke, Rong gave a wink to the maids outside the door.
The maids understood and echoed, "Yes, Young Master, Miss Shen has already offered tea to the Second Lady. We all saw it!"
Shen Congyue, who was standing by, also reacted, tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Jianxue, Ah Yue knows that what she did was wrong, and she has already apologized to the Second Lady..."
As he spoke, Shen Congyue looked at Pei Jingxu: "If Brother Jianxue doesn't believe it, you can ask Second Lady Rong!"
Rong also said: "Yes, if you don't trust us, you should trust Pei!"
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze fell on Pei Jingxu beside him.
Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered, and she seemed to raise her eyes a little slowly, looking at Rong who was sitting in the main seat.
Rong narrowed her eyes, with an undisguised threat and warning in them, clearly wanting her to admit the matter.
Moving his gaze slightly to the left, he saw that although Shen Congyue was sitting upright in the guest seat, his expression was tense, and even the hand on the table was slightly tightened.
She looked at Pei Jingxu with cold and vicious eyes.
——As if she would tear her mouth apart if she said anything wrong.
Pei Jingxu withdrew his gaze, his eyes confused and flustered under his long eyelashes.
Seemingly at a loss, she lowered her head and fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand.
Pei Jingxu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her eyes turned red, but she just lowered her head and bit her cherry lips slightly.
"Pei! Please tell me!" Rong was anxious. "Hurry up and tell Jianxue clearly, did Miss Chen apologize to you just now!?"
Perhaps because his eyes were a little dry, Pei Jingxu blinked quickly a few times, and his eye sockets seemed to be filled with tears, and his lips turned pale.
She gently closed her eyes, as if compromising, and slowly opened her lips: "Miss Shen, she——"
"Pei Jingxu."
Beside her, the man looked at her sideways.
It seemed that he seldom called her by her full name like this.
When he bit these words out from between his lips and teeth, he realized that these words were too light.
It seemed as if any gust of wind could blow her around, without having to worry about her mood and freedom at all.
Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze clear and cold.
Her eyes turned red again and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'm here, telling the truth."
Pei Jingxu's pupils shrank.
When she looked at Rong Jianxue, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Rong Jianxue pursed her lips slightly, stroked the rim of the cup with her fingertips, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a thick layer of frost and snow.
Pei Jingxu stared at him, his eyes like a cat seeing its owner, aggrieved yet determined.
Finally, she turned sideways and looked at Shen Congyue and Rong Shi, and spoke clearly: "Miss Shen has never apologized to me from beginning to end."
For a moment, the main hall was silent.
Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the floating tea leaves beside her.
For some reason, when she told the truth, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He suddenly remembered the kitten he raised in Randeng Temple a long time ago. It was usually cautious and tried to please others.
But every time I see him, he acts as if he has something to rely on, and he acts like a fox taking advantage of the tiger's power.
--That's fine.
Rong Jianxue stared intently, her tone stern and cold, "These old women who lied will be fined three years' salary and forced to kneel for two hours. Jiang Hui, drag them to the courtyard and make them a public example."
Jiang Hui couldn't stand it anymore!
Now, after hearing the order from his young master, he clasped his fists in response, and then dragged those old women who were begging for mercy away!
Rong and Shen Congyue were both stunned!
"Ms. Pei! What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Shen has clearly just—"
"Mother."
Without waiting for Rong Shi to make any more excuses for Shen Congyue, Rong Jianxue glanced over and said in a cold and indifferent voice, "Silence."
Frightened by Rong Jianxue's cold aura, Rong Shi really couldn't utter a word!
Chen Congyue looked at Rong Jianxue in panic. She shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Brother Jianxue, you can't just believe Pei Jingxu's words! I, I really have already apologized!"
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was cold: "Miss Shen came to apologize, and Pei said she didn't apologize, then she didn't apologize."
After a pause, he continued: “Miss Shen, serve tea and apologize.”
Chen Congyue bit her lip and glared at Pei Jingxu fiercely with tearful eyes: "Pei Jingxu! Why did you frame me! Explain quickly! Explain to Brother Jianxue!"
Rong Jianxue didn't look at her again and said calmly, "Jiang Hui."
"yes!"
Jiang Hui understood, went to the main hall, poured another cup of tea, handed it to Shen Congyue, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Shen, please."
Chen Congyue frowned and stared at Rong Jianxue unwillingly: "Master Master! My father is the Prime Minister! You are humiliating me like this now, aren't you afraid that my father will find out and blame you!"
"You don't need to tell me what happened today. I will report everything to the Prime Minister," Rong Jianxue said in a voice as cold as a pond. "But now, Shen, serve tea."
Shen Congyue was really frightened by Rong Jianxue's eyes.
She tremblingly took the warm tea from Jiang Hui's hand, bit her lip unwillingly, and Chen Congyue almost moved step by step to Pei Jingxu.
"Mrs. Pei, I was sorry for you a few days ago on the Qiqiao stage. I shouldn't have joked with you like that. Please forgive me..."
When Shen Congyue said this, he gritted his teeth with every word, wishing he could bite his silver teeth to pieces!
Pei Jingxu even believed that if she could jump off the cliff at this moment, she would never stay here and apologize to her, Pei Jingxu!
Her eyes were filled with humiliation and resentment, as if she wanted to skin Pei Jingxu alive!
Pei Jingxu was in a very good mood and met her gaze without flinching.
Pei Jingxu looked at her provocatively, with a hint of teasing and sarcasm in his eyes, but he took the tea from her hand with a serious expression.
"I forgive you, Miss Shen."
impossible.
Unless one day she also pushed Shen Congyue into the pond and let her experience the feeling of drowning, otherwise, she would never forgive her.
Shen Congyue's eyes were full of coldness and viciousness!
She stared at Pei Jingxu intently, gritting her teeth and saying, "Pei Jingxu, just wait..."
As if he couldn't bear this humiliation, Shen Congyue didn't stay in Rong Mansion anymore and turned away!
Rong finally reacted and stood up to chase after him!
Rong Jianxue didn't care about these things, but just glanced at the boxes of ginseng and deer antlers in the main hall.
——This is clearly a tonic for Madam Rong.
She said she came to apologize, but none of the "apology gift" was hers.
"Jiang Hui," Rong Jianxue said in a deep voice, "Send these things back to the Prime Minister's residence intact. Tell the Prime Minister the truth about what happened today."
"yes."
When Rong heard that Rong Jianxue was going to send all the supplements back, she was shocked!
She accused him sharply, "Rong Jianxue! What on earth do you want to do! If you offend Miss Shen, you will offend the Prime Minister! How will this benefit your career?!"
Rong Jianxue raised her eyes and looked at Rong Shi coldly: "My career as Rong Jianxue has never relied on anyone's mercy."
His eyes were cold, and after Rong looked at him, she subconsciously wanted to dodge.
"Although Shen was at fault for what happened today, mother is by no means innocent either," Rong Jianxue said coldly after a pause, "If mother continues to criticize Pei in the future, I can kneel in the ancestral hall with you and be punished according to family law."
After saying that, Rong Jianxue stood up and left without looking at Rong Shi who was already stunned.
Seeing this, Pei Jingxu picked up her skirt and chased after him.
