Chapter 58 Does the Second Lady Want to Climb into Bed?
Pei Jingxu is not a kind-hearted person who helps the people.
The reason why she was willing to sell the grain in the grain shop to Shen Qianfan at a low price was not for that good reputation.
——She needs to make plans for her future.
She knew in her heart that even if she did not agree to sell the grain to Shen Qianfan at a low price, Shen Qianfan would send people disguised as robbers to take away all her grain.
Rather than getting nothing, Pei Jingxu would rather take this opportunity to put forward his own conditions.
Not to mention whether Chen Qianfan would really pay her five times the price in three months, Pei Jingxu didn't care about that little bit of money. What she cared more about was whether she could capture Rong Jianxue's heart before Rong Xuanzhou returned to Beijing.
After spending some time together, Pei Jingxu could conclude that if he could not get Rong Jianxue before Rong Xuanzhou returned to the capital, he would stay away from her after Rong Xuanzhou returned to the capital and there would be no contact between them.
Pei Jingxu is not smart enough. The only thing she can rely on after her rebirth is that she knows more about the plot than others.
But ever since Rong Boyao came back half a year earlier than in the storyline, Pei Jingxu began to feel guilty.
If even the plot contents were changed, Pei Jingxu really didn't know how to win the "heroine halo".
Therefore, Rong Jianxue must be captured before Rong Xuanzhou returns to Beijing.
Shen Qianfan on the side seemed to notice that Pei Jingxu was thinking about something.
Her movements were very quick, and even though her face showed no expression, she did not stop serving porridge to the refugees.
Shen Qianfan took a few steps forward and walked in front of her: “What are you thinking about?”
The voice was a little cold and hoarse. Pei Jingxu shuddered suddenly, and the spoon in his hand shook, and the spoon of porridge he gave to the refugee in front of him was half gone.
The refugee glanced at Pei Jingxu awkwardly: "Female Bodhisattva, can you give me another spoonful?"
Shen Qianfan, who was standing by, chuckled softly and reached out to take the rice spoon from Pei Jingxu's hand. Pei Jingxu dodged him and smiled as he filled the rice spoon for the refugee in front of him: "If it's not enough, there's more."
The refugees left with many thanks.
Shen Qianfan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes: "It shouldn't be my illusion, the Second Lady seems to have never liked me."
Pei Jingxu quietly spread the porridge, his voice calm, "Master Yuanzhou, are you gold? Why do you think I must like you?"
Shen Qianfan was not annoyed: "Even if you don't like it, there is no need to be hostile, right? The Second Lady seems to be very hostile to me."
Finally, the last batch of refugees were deployed.
Pei Jingxu put down the spoon in his hand and turned to look at Chen Qianfan: "Do you need a reason to dislike someone? I think Master Yuanzhou is not as good-looking as Master Shaofu. Is this a good reason?"
Shen Qianfan smiled happily, covering his mouth with a folding fan: "If that's the case..."
He leaned forward slightly, his upturned fox eyes full of cunning: "I quite like the Second Lady."
In fact, Pei Jingxu's ability to endure is not very good.
Just like now, she clearly knew that she shouldn't break up with Shen Qianfan. He would become the common ruler of the world and the new emperor in the future. It would not be wise to show disdain to him.
But she just couldn't help it.
Thinking of how in her previous life, Chen Qianfan sent people disguised as bandits to rob her grain shop, and then fell in love with Bai Shutong at first sight, and in order to win her favor, he repeatedly made trouble for her and even asked her to dance for Bai Shutong at a palace banquet, Pei Jingxu felt annoyed.
In order to get the female protagonist's peacock tail, the male supporting role loves her so much that he wishes he could give the world to her.
And she, Pei Jingxu, is nothing more than a cannon fodder whose death is not worth regretting when the infatuated male supporting role devotes everything to the female lead.
Such thoughts made Pei Jingxu feel angry and frightened.
On the one hand, she hated Shen Qianfan for what he had done in his previous life. On the other hand, such a man who killed people without blinking an eye finally became the emperor of mankind and had the power of life and death over everyone. Her life was nothing more than an ant in front of him.
Even now, when he could smile leisurely and say "I like the Second Lady very much", Pei Jingxu had no doubt that if she angered him, he would retaliate a thousand times.
Pei Jingxu took a deep breath and took a few steps back calmly.
"Today's porridge is over. If Master Yuanzhou has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."
Before Pei Jingxu left, Shen Qianfan curled his lips and smiled, his eyes gentle, like a gentleman: "Second Lady, do you want to climb into bed?"
With a "buzz", Pei Jingxu turned around, unable to retract the shock in his eyes.
Shen Qianfan tilted his head and smiled, waving his folding fan: "Second Lady, do you want to climb onto Master Shaofu's bed?"
Pei Jingxu widened his eyes, and when he realized what was happening, his eyes were already filled with tears.
The corners of her eyes were scarlet as she looked at Shen Qianfan in disbelief, as if she had never expected such words to come out of his mouth!
Chen Qianfan didn't seem to think he'd said anything shameful. He curled his lips in a smile, his eyes curved, "Isn't it? The Second Lady has been in and out of Master Shaofu's study so many times. Isn't she trying to offer herself to him?"
Pei Jingxu blinked slowly a few times.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she laughed at herself, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "So, there really are people who think this way."
"What?" Shen Qianfan smiled, seemingly not quite understanding what Pei Jingxu meant.
Pei Jingxu gave a bitter laugh and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing, Master Yuanzhou is right, it's my fault for being rude and causing you to suffer so much criticism."
She lowered her head, her voice trembling: "I am sorry for him."
Shen Qianfan curled his lips: "If the Second Lady wants to climb the high branch, why don't you look up?"
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "Although there aren't many people in Chang'an who can compare to Master Shaofu, there are some, too. What do you think?"
Pei Jingxu bit her lip lightly and bowed solemnly to Chen Qianfan: "I am married to the Second Lang of the Rong family. My heart is with him. Even if the Second Lang dies, this will will not change, this heart will not change."
Shen Qianfan seemed to grit his teeth.
But his face was still smiling brightly: "Second Madam, your love is so touching that it could move heaven and earth. Perhaps, with God's mercy, your husband could be brought back to life."
Pei Jingxu didn't want to bother with him anymore, so he said "goodbye" and turned to leave.
Shen Qianfan looked at the woman who was leaving, with emotions flashing in his eyes.
--
It was almost evening when we returned to Rong Mansion.
When Pei Jingxu returned to the west courtyard, she was about to ask Hongyao to help her boil water for a bath, when she saw a man standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, waiting for her.
"grown ups?"
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react.
Under the tree, the man, bathed in moonlight, turned and looked at her.
His expression still looked as cold as a mountain, and his eyes showed no emotion when he looked at her.
As if coming to his senses, Pei Jingxu hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed to the man, "Why are you here, sir?"
It was earlier than she expected.
Pei Jingxu thought that this "front line" would take some time.
She lowered her head, her long hair hanging on her shoulders, revealing her slender white neck.
Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes to look at her, looking at her goose neck, not knowing what he remembered, and felt a little irritated for no reason.
