Chapter 82 Selfishness
Pei Jingxu was completely exhausted, but still awake. He fell weakly into Rong Jianxue's arms, with his eyes slightly lowered.
She saw Rong Jianxue's empty wrist.
——He didn’t wear Buddhist beads.
The last time Jiang Hui told her, if the young master didn't wear the Buddhist beads, he would bleed.
Pei Jingxu's gaze slowly shifted downwards, and he saw the blood-stained corner of the man's clothes. Looking down again, he suddenly saw the two bloody severed hands dropped to the ground.
The next second, her eyes were covered by a gentle and broad hand.
Covering up all the blood and ugliness in front of her eyes.
Pei Jingxu didn't have the strength to move and let him hold her.
"Jianxue! Are you crazy? They are all my trusted confidants!" Rong screamed.
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were full of calmness and coldness as he looked at Rong.
"As for Mother—"
Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes slightly, and when she saw the red mark on Pei Jingxu's face, a layer of frost and snow seemed to condense in her eyes.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils were so dark that it looked like ink could drip out of them.
His voice was low and cold, as cold as ice: "First, keep her in the room. If Pei Shi hurts a few fingers, mother will compensate her."
Rong even thought he had heard it wrong!
Her eyes widened, her voice losing its tone: "Rong Jianxue! I raised you! You actually want to cut off my fingers!?"
"You unfilial son! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of being cursed by the world?!"
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was indifferent: "If your mother breaks a few fingers, I will break a few for you."
After a pause, Rong Jianxue said coldly, "Mother, it's best for you to pray day and night, praying that Pei's family is safe and sound."
After saying this, Rong Jianxue no longer looked at Rong's shocked expression. He picked up Pei Jingxu and walked out of the ancestral hall.
Jiang Hui had already taken all those old women away.
In the huge Rong Mansion, the ups and downs of the old woman's wails were heard.
Rong Jianxue held Pei Jingxu in his arms and walked towards the east courtyard.
Pei Jingxu raised her eyebrows slightly, but reached out and grabbed his sleeve with her good hand.
The force was not great, but it easily stopped Rong Jianxue.
Her voice was weak, and her lips moved a few times, and she could barely make out the sound: "Send me back to the west courtyard..."
She didn't want to go to his East Courtyard.
It was as if she had made up her mind to sever all ties with him.
Looking at her bloody finger bones and the obvious fingerprints on her face, Rong Jianxue's face was not good to begin with.
Now, hearing her say this, those cold eyes suddenly turned cold.
He started walking again, but did not listen to her and continued walking towards the east courtyard.
Pulling his sleeve with even more force, Pei Jingxu said weakly, "...not going to the East Courtyard..."
Rong Jianxue looked straight ahead without saying a word.
The woman seemed really anxious. She tugged at the man's clothes, as if she thought he didn't hear her.
"Sir... please..."
"Not going east—"
"Pei Jingxu," Rong Jianxue said, not even looking at her. Her tone was so cold it could freeze a person to death. "Shut up."
As if frightened by the man's cold expression, Pei Jingxu curled up in the man's arms and finally calmed down a little.
Take her to the bedroom in the east courtyard.
Rong Jianxue put her down.
Her arm was dislocated, and the slightest movement was painful.
Pei Jingxu's face was pale and his legs were a little stiff.
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly when she saw this. He reached out and gently pressed on her kneecap.
"Hiss——" Pei Jingxu bit her cherry lips lightly and took a breath of cold air.
"Is your knee also injured?" Rong Jianxue asked in a deep voice.
Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes and was not prepared to answer him.
"Jiang Hui is going to get a doctor. Please bear with it for a while."
There was no emotion on his face when he said this.
Pei Jingxu's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long while, she finally spoke weakly: "Thank you..."
The man's brow moved slightly.
"If you were not here tonight, I might have been forced to sign the red deed."
Rub with your fingertips.
Without the Buddhist beads, it feels like I have taken off my shackles, and there is a little less weight on my wrists.
"That's all?"
Gods and Buddhas are greedy and want more.
"What?" The woman on the bed seemed a little slow to react. Meeting the man's cold gaze, she whispered, "Thank you also for helping me arrange the notarization in advance. I believe my mother-in-law will no longer think about the dowry in the future."
"What else?" he pressed on.
"Also..." Pei Jingxu thought for a moment and continued, "Also, Your Excellency, don't be too harsh on my mother-in-law. She's also thinking about the Rong family and wants to take care of everything for them."
"Pei Jingxu."
Rong Jianxue's cold voice came from above his head, like broken sand rolling across a thousand-year-old glacier.
She raised her eyes and met the man's cold and angry eyes.
"The Rong family doesn't need to take care of everything, let alone be so shameless as to use your dowry."
Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.
for a long time.
Rong Jianxue took a few steps forward, grabbed her wrist with one hand and held her shoulder with the other.
Before she could even react, she heard a "click".
A sharp and short pain flashed by, and before Pei Jingxu could even cry out in pain, the pain disappeared.
"Move your arms." He commanded coldly.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu shook his dislocated arm and found that it had been reconnected.
He came to the other side, and just like before, he held her wrist with one hand and pressed her shoulder with the other.
“Wait a minute!”
Without waiting for Rong Jianxue to exert any strength, Pei Jingxu spoke in a panic.
The last time, I was not mentally prepared, so I didn’t feel much pain.
This time she realized it, and in a panic, she used her intact hand to press the back of Rong Jianxue's shoulder.
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, her eyes flickered slightly, her lips rosy red: "A Xu is afraid of pain..."
She sat on his bed, raised her eyebrows, and a little cold sweat broke out on her slender white neck.
The small, delicate hand pressed against the back of his hand, unable to even wrap around it.
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything, his eyes fell on her hands.
As if realizing that something was wrong, Pei Jingxu's eyes became panicked and he subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand.
It was not successful.
The hand that was originally covered by her suddenly took the initiative and turned over. Each finger bone forcefully and irresistibly inserted into her fingers and interlocked with her five fingers.
A bit of color finally returned to his pale face. Pei Jingxu lowered his head in panic and struggled: "It hurts..."
Rong Jianxue's eyes were dim.
He took off the jade pendant from his waist and placed it against her lips.
"Bite it."
Are you afraid that she will scream in pain and bite her tongue?
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, but finally opened her mouth obediently and gently bit his jade pendant.
Rong Jianxue narrowed her eyes, letting the emotions in them flicker.
The next second, while she was still not reacting, he pressed his hand slightly and heard the sound of bones moving again.
“Hmm—”
Biting the jade pendant, Pei Jingxu hadn't even come to his senses when his arm was reconnected.
Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes, and her slender finger bones pinched the jade pendant she was half-biting.
