Chapter 66: Adults are the best...
A cool and sweet floral scent wafts in the air.
Rong Jianxue's pupils trembled slightly, and the hand that was originally tapping the table curled up slightly.
"Um……"
Pei Jingxu moaned softly, like a child, rested her head on his shoulder, and coughed twice.
Rong Jianxue pursed her lips, his body stiffened uncomfortably, and he glanced at her sideways.
Perhaps realizing that something was wrong, Pei Jingxu suppressed her drunkenness and lifted her head from the man's shoulder.
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
Pei Jingxu lowered his head and shook it: "Sir, you seem to have two heads..."
Rong Jianxue closed her eyes slightly, with a hint of helplessness between her brows.
With all the ministers present, he couldn't do anything, so he could only whisper, "Should I take you home?"
Pei Jingxu shook his head again, his words a little sticky: "No, you want to tease Shen Congyue..."
She revealed her "badness" to him.
Hearing this, Rong Jianxue raised the corners of her lips slightly, without any harshness in her eyes: "You're already drunk, how can you still tease me?"
Pei Jingxu sniffed and seemed a little unhappy.
Perhaps because her head felt heavy, Pei Jingxu kept her head down, her delicate body curled up neatly in the corner. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve: "Sir, please help Ah Xu..."
She was drunk.
Even if a drunk person does something out of line, he can be forgiven.
Like a child who was unhappy because he couldn't get a piece of candy, Pei Jingxu tugged at his sleeve and said in a soft and sticky voice, "Sir, can you help Ah Xu tease her... please?"
It's really outrageous.
Her beautiful eyebrows slightly lowered, and Rong Jianxue stretched out a hand to suppress the force she was pulling on him.
A cool touch touched the back of her hand. Pei Jingxu subconsciously shrank her neck and looked at him with tearful eyes.
"not good."
Meeting her clear eyes, Rong Jianxue replied in a hoarse voice.
Pei Jingxu became even more unhappy.
The wine was indeed quite strong. Pei Jingxu pouted and reached for the jade pendant hanging on his belt.
While fiddling with the jade pendant, Pei Jingxu said sullenly, "Good... My Lord, you are the best..."
Her delicate hands caressed the jade pendant on his body, clearly without any lust in them, but it made Rong Jianxue's eyes dim a little.
"Again, who's the best?" he asked.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyes, his eyes flickering, his tone sticky and sincere: "My Lord is the best..."
It seems that he finds this sentence very useful.
Rong Jianxue raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her lips curved up.
"I later heard from Jiang Hui that when Shen came to apologize, she treated you as a servant and ordered you around." He paused, then calmly took back the jade pendant she was fondling. "How about I ask her to serve you tea and food?"
Pei Jingxu chuckled, her face flushed, but she looked at him very seriously: "Sir, you won't lie to me?"
"Yeah," Rong Jianxue nodded hoarsely, "I won't lie to you."
Pei Jingxu was happy then. He sat back in his seat obediently, tilted his head and glanced in the direction of Rong Jianxue, indicating that she was ready.
Rong Jianxue admitted that although it was a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine, it still smacked of favoritism and corruption.
After taking a look at the drunk Pei Jingxu, Rong Jianxue sighed.
Well, Shen knowingly committed the crime and continued to do so despite repeated bans. He should be taught a lesson.
The reason why the Prime Minister allowed Shen and Pei Jingxu to sit together was actually his tacit approval. He wanted to punish Shen a little so that she would learn her lesson.
“Miss Shen.”
He finally spoke, his tone cold and calm.
Shen Congyue, who had originally planned to eat Pei Jingxu alive, turned around suddenly when she heard Rong Jianxue calling her, and even thought she had misheard!
"Master Master," Chen Congyue smiled. She moved towards Pei Jingxu with a shy look on her face. "What's the matter with calling Ah Yue?"
Rong Jianxue spoke slowly and calmly, "Ms. Pei is drunk. Since Miss Chen said she wanted to take care of the distinguished guest, why don't you help her serve tea and dishes and keep an eye on her."
The smile on Shen Congyue's face disappeared.
She stared at Pei Jingxu beside her, and chuckled in disbelief: "Master Master, are you going to let A Yue serve her?"
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged as she nodded, "Is it not possible?"
A tone that brooks no argument.
Shen Congyue's eyes widened, and she pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing an extremely arrogant and ugly smile: "Master Master, I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"So what?"
When Rong Jianxue said this, the meaning was already very clear.
Shen Congyue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she met the man's eyes, she looked away guiltily and lowered her head: "No, nothing..."
"Thank you, Miss Chen."
Shen Congyue moved to the front of Pei Jingxu's seat in an almost shameful manner and said through gritted teeth, "Second Madam Pei, let me pour you a cup of tea."
Pei Jingxu raised the corner of his mouth, and even glanced at Shen Congyue provocatively: "Thank you, Miss Shen."
At the banquet that followed, the ministers noticed that the daughter of the Shen family had condescended to take care of Madam Pei Er in every detail.
Everyone's impression of Mrs. Pei Er changed a little.
Chen Congyue originally wanted to take advantage of Pei Jingxu's drunkenness and put some drugs in her tea or food to humiliate her, but Rong Jianxue's personal bodyguard Jiang Hui stood directly behind them, observing her every move.
Not to mention drugging, even if a cup of tea was poured too full, Guard Jiang would step forward and give a few words of warning.
Shen Congyue had no chance to attack at all!
Hearing the discussions of the guests around him and seeing the looks they cast at him, Shen Congyue's face turned grim, and he wished he could die together with Pei Jingxu!
Looking at the drunk Pei Jingxu in front of her, Shen Congyue narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly remembered the secret information she got from her father.
——Hmph, Pei Jingxu, when your beloved husband really comes back, I wonder if you can still laugh!
After three rounds of wine, the banquet was half over.
The sky suddenly turned gloomy, dark clouds covered the sun, and it seemed as if night had fallen.
The banquet was set up outside in the courtyard, and before anyone could react, heavy rain poured down!
"Ouch! It's raining!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Everyone, go indoors and get out of the rain!"
"Hurry up! The rain is too heavy!"
“…”
The sudden heavy rain broke the harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
Rong Jianxue saw this and glanced at Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui understood and carefully supported Pei Jingxu, who was still drunk, and quickly came to the main hall to take shelter from the rain!
The sky suddenly became gloomy, and dark clouds rolled in, as if swallowing up the sky and the earth.
Chen Anshan glanced at the sky and laughed loudly, attracting the attention of the guests: "The weather is good, I think this autumn will be a good season!"
The guests also laughed and echoed: "Noble people are prone to storms, Prime Minister, this is a good omen!"
"Yes, yes, may the Prime Minister live a long and prosperous life!"
“…”
After some conversation, everyone resumed the banquet in the main hall and prepared to continue.
"Boom—"
A deafening thunder was heard, Pei Jingxu suddenly screamed and subconsciously grabbed Rong Jianxue's arm.
Her strength trembled slightly, and both her hands grasped his, her body stiff.
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Pei Jingxu's forehead. Her face was pale and her lips were trembling. She just hugged his arms tighter.
"A-A-Xu... I'm afraid of thunder..."
