Chapter 90 "Beast."
She is his...
Thinking of this, Rong Jianxue's brows darkened and he clenched the green in his hand.
What on earth is he doing...
The candlelight in the room flickered twice again.
Rong Jianxue exhaled a breath, his eyes flickering with the light.
He closed his eyes slightly again and cursed himself softly.
"Beast."
--
Main courtyard.
Rong Bomao stood outside the bedroom where Rong was confined, his expression unclear.
I heard that Rong Jianxue had replaced all the servants in Rong's house. Even if Rong took two more steps today, the servants would tell Rong Jianxue everything.
Rong Bomao initially strongly disagreed with the confinement of the Rong family, and even tried many times to find Rong Jianxue to kowtow and admit his mistake to the Rong family.
But later, Rong Jianxue returned to court and easily suppressed the rumors in the court.
Rong Jianxue's status was not affected at all. On the contrary, he seemed to be more favored by the emperor than before.
The court officials were used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. Seeing this, they all came closer and rushed to chat with Rong Jianxue.
Rong Baimao's expression improved a little when he saw this.
What he cared more about than the Rong family being under house arrest was naturally the survival and reputation of the Rong family.
Now that the Rong family is safe and sound, and the eldest son of the Rong family has a higher status, he no longer mentions the matter of Rong Jianxue being confined to the Rong family.
——After all, after some time, when Rong Jianxue has calmed down, the Rong family’s house arrest will naturally be lifted.
Rong Baimao stood outside the bedroom door, his hands behind his back, frowning slightly.
He planned to comfort Rong first and let her stay in the bedroom for a while. Rong Jianxue has always been filial, and even if he was angry, he would not really confine her to the bedroom for life.
Thinking of this, Rong Baimao brushed his sleeves and walked forward.
Rong was confined to the master bedroom, and on weekdays only Rong Boyao would come to see her and ask the servants about her situation.
Seeing him about to go in, the servant took a few steps forward and bowed slightly: "Master, the eldest son has ordered that no one can go in to visit the lady unless he agrees."
"I'm his father! I want to go in and see my wife, and I need his permission!?" Rong Baimao's face turned pale and his tone was cold and hard when he heard this.
The servant bowed his head even lower: "Master, please forgive me. We dare not disobey the eldest master's wishes."
Rong Baimao pushed aside the servant who was blocking his way and said coldly, "Then go tell Rong Jianxue. I want to see what he can do if I go in today!"
Having said that, he ignored the servants who tried to stop him and pushed the door open.
Seeing this, the servants looked at each other and stopped trying to stop him. They closed the door and went to report to the eldest son.
After all, they are just slaves, so it is impossible for them to disobey the master's orders.
After closing the door, Rong suddenly came out from the inner room. Seeing Rong Baimao, tears flowed down her face: "Master!"
While shouting, Rong trotted to Rong Baimao and threw herself into his arms: "Master, I knew you would come to save me!"
"That bitch Pei! She must have done something to punish me like this!"
"Hmph! When I get out, I'll make sure she's in trouble!"
When it comes to Pei Jingxu, Rong's face becomes even uglier. "Pei is a disaster. I don't know where she got the courage from. When did she dare to disobey my orders?"
"Fortunately, the master is here! The master must have come to rescue me, right?"
Rong cried and expressed her "grievances".
Rong Baimao frowned and pushed Rong away from his embrace: "Jianxue said that he would confine you. How can I get you out?"
Rong was stunned for a moment, and even the tears on her face stopped.
Her eyes widened, her brows furrowed. "What do you mean? Master, aren't you here to rescue me?"
Rong Baimao coughed lightly and straightened his clothes that had been messed up by Rong Shi. "You have always known that Jianxue is upright and unyielding. He cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. How could he force Pei Shi to submit and sign in the ancestral hall?"
Upon hearing this, Rong finally realized that something was wrong.
She chuckled, nodded vigorously, and said "OK" several times. Then she pointed at Rong Baimao's nose and cursed loudly: "Rong Baimao! You and I are really blind! Am I not doing this for our Rong family?"
"The Rong family has been ravaged, and everyone needs to be taken care of. Your meager salary and reward isn't even enough to fill a gap in our teeth! I just want to sell her dowry to make plans for the Rong family's future!"
At this point, Rong was anxious and angry, and blurted out: "Don't think I don't know, don't you want Pei's dowry! Now that the matter has been exposed, you put all the blame on me! Rong Baimao, you are so shameless!"
"Enough!" Unable to bear any more words from Rong, Rong Baimao growled with a gloomy face!
Frightened by Rong Baimao's appearance, Rong calmed himself down and swallowed his saliva.
Rong Bomao paced back and forth in front of Rong Shi a few times, then walked up to her again, pointed at her, and lowered his voice: "Who told you to force Pei Shi when Jian Xue happened to see you! With Jian Xue's personality, there's no way she would allow you to confess under torture!"
Having said that, Rong narrowed his eyes, and a dark current flashed in his eyes.
She looked at Rong Baimao and gently reminded him, "Master, do you think Jianxue is too concerned about Pei?"
Rong Baimao was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrank slightly, and he warned in a low voice: "Rong, do you know what you are talking about!?"
"Of course I know!" Rong said anxiously, "It's just that you didn't see it, sir. At that time in the ancestral hall, Jianxue drew her sword for Pei's sake, and there was blood!"
Rong Baimao frowned, his face stern: "What did you say? He saw blood in the ancestral hall!?"
"Yes! And you don't know, Master, the way Jianxue held Pei in her arms and looked at me..." At this point, Rong shrank her neck, "It was as if she wanted to eat me alive!"
Rong Baimao still didn't believe it and snorted coldly: "That's because Jianxue can't stand you using torture privately to force a confession!"
"Master!" Rong whispered, "Jianxue has been training in the Burning Lamp Temple for many years and would never easily shed blood. Even if he resents me and those old women, given his personality, would he allow the tablets in the ancestral hall to be stained with blood in front of all the ancestors?"
A gloomy look flashed across Rong Baimao's eyes.
"I think it must have been during the time when Jianxue was teaching Pei about accounting that Pei, a man of no moral integrity, seduced Jianxue!" After a pause, Rong whispered, "Master, Pei is a disaster, a vixen, she must not be allowed to stay..."
Rong Baimao narrowed his eyes and said, "These are just your guesses. There is no basis for them."
"Master!" Rong whispered, "What's the big deal about a Pei family? But if she destroys the reputation of our Rong family and Jianxue, then our future career in government... won't it be hopeless?"
When Rong Baimao heard this, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"You don't have to get involved in this matter. I will handle it."
When he said this, Rong Baimao's tone had completely turned cold.
Rong was right about one thing.
It doesn't matter if Pei dies. No matter whether she has any problems with Jianxue or not, as long as she is dealt with, the trouble will be eliminated forever.
The reputation and career of the Rong family cannot be encroached upon by anyone.
--
At noon the next day.
Pei Jingxu slept soundly. When she woke up, she heard Hongyao come to report: "Miss, the eldest master said that when you wake up, you can go to the East Courtyard to find him. The matter you asked him for has been resolved."
