Chapter 113 She Discovered His "Secret"
Rong Xuanzhou was slightly stunned, and the words of rebuke were stuck in his throat, and he was speechless for a moment.
He doesn't like women crying.
Crying means feeling wronged and sad, but who among those displaced on the battlefield is not wronged and sad?
Therefore, Rong Xuanzhou always felt that Pei Jingxu was too pretentious for shedding tears over such a trivial matter.
White tung is different.
She witnessed countless deaths and bloodshed on the battlefield, but she never cried to others.
Just like the grass breaking through the cracks in the rocks, it is tenacious and strong.
But she started crying again, tears in her eyes and the corners of her eyes were red.
In fact, she looks very beautiful when she cries. The plain white dress makes her look even more beautiful and delicate.
Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly and turned his head away: "Stop being so sullen, come over and have breakfast with us!"
Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly and stood there without moving.
Rong Xuanzhou sighed softly upon seeing this.
He stood up and walked slowly to her side, extending a hand towards her: "Come here."
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
——I am really confused.
She remembered that in her previous life, she had tried everything but could not win a glance from Rong Xuanzhou in the "competition" with Bai Shutong.
What happened today?
Rong Xuanzhou has changed his personality?
She was lost in thought.
Seeing this, Rong Xuanzhou thought she was flattered. The corners of his lips curled up, and he put his arm around Pei Jingxu's waist and carried her down from the corridor.
Rong Xuanzhou has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his arms are strong and powerful, so it is very easy for him to pick up Pei Jingxu.
Seeing this, Bai Shutong frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Pei Jingxu was startled by Rong Xuanzhou's sudden hug around the waist. She cried out softly and saw the man standing outside the courtyard gate at a glance.
After carrying her down from the corridor, Rong Xuanzhou put her down with an awkward and cold expression: "It's not easy for Shutong to take care of two children. You should be more sensible."
Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Rong Xuanzhou tried to hold her hand again.
Outside the door, Jiang Hui called out hurriedly, "Second Young Master!"
The hand that was about to hold hers was withdrawn. Rong Xuanzhou looked in the direction of the voice and saw Rong Jianxue standing outside the courtyard gate in a bright red official robe.
His expression was calm, and his dark eyes fell on her waist, which he had just picked up.
Pei Jingxu's waist was so slender that a man could pinch it with one hand, as if he could break her bones with a little force.
His eyes were cold, he just glanced at her and then looked away.
"Brother, why are you here so early?"
Seeing Rong Jianxue, Rong Xuanzhou walked forward with a smile and welcomed Rong Jianxue into the yard.
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything, but glanced at Bai Shutong who was having a meal with two children under the sycamore tree.
His expression was cold and indifferent: "It is against etiquette for you to dine with Bai."
Rong Xuanzhou smiled nonchalantly upon hearing this, "There aren't so many rules on the battlefield. I used to eat with her, so I'm used to it."
Rong Jianxue looked indifferent, and her cold gaze fell on Rong Xuanzhou, who was still smiling.
As his eyes fell, Rong Xuanzhou restrained his smile.
"The battlefield is the battlefield, and the capital is the capital," Rong Jianxue said calmly and indifferently, "Now that you're back, you must abide by the rules."
Rong Xuanzhou shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "Brother, why do I feel like you seem to be very resentful towards me this time when I returned to Beijing..."
Rong Jianxue didn't respond and said coldly, "Follow me into the palace."
Speaking of business, Rong Xuanzhou also became more serious: "Okay."
Although he didn't quite understand why his brother insisted on asking him to apologize to His Majesty, he felt that it was a bit of an overreaction.
No matter what, he defeated the enemy and made great military achievements. Even if he joined forces with the prince and used some tricks, the emperor should be able to forgive him.
But he has always respected Rong Jianxue, so there must be a reason why he asked him to do this.
He said hello to Bai Shutong under the tree: "Shutong, eat slowly. If I'm not back for lunch, just take Nuonuo and Axuan to the kitchen to explain."
Bai Shutong smiled and said, "I can take good care of myself and the child. Brother Xuanzhou, don't worry."
After saying that, Rong Xuanzhou didn't even look at Pei Jingxu, and walked in front.
Rong Jianxue glanced at the little food left on the stone table.
He frowned slightly and pursed his thin lips.
But he did not stay, not even looking at Pei Jingxu, and walked out of the west courtyard.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
Leaving so easily?
Holding up her skirt, Pei Jingxu followed them out of the west courtyard. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched the two people leaving one after the other.
Pei Jingxu didn't come to his senses until the two disappeared from his sight.
——She even had some doubts, was there something wrong with her judgment of Rong Jianxue?
Perhaps Rong Jianxue was not as special to her as she imagined.
If that's the case, Pei Jingxu needs to change his strategy.
She turned around, and before she could take two steps, Jiang Hui appeared from nowhere: "Second Madam!"
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Hui: "Guard Jiang? Didn't you enter the palace with the master?"
Jiang Hui laughed foolishly: "Second Madam, didn't you have breakfast?"
Pei Jingxu pulled the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
Jiang Hui then said, "When the young master left just now, he instructed his subordinates to go to Simeizhai to buy you some breakfast. Second Madam, why don't you go to the East Courtyard and wait a while, so as not to be bored eating in the West Courtyard?"
ah.
suddenly see the light.
——It seems that her plan does not need to be changed.
Pei Jingxu showed a look of surprise: "But, but this is against the rules..."
Jiang Hui snorted coldly, clearly very dissatisfied with Bai Shutong. "What's against the rules? Bai is eating with the Second Young Master. If the Second Lady is upset, what's wrong with avoiding her?"
Pei Jingxu pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this: "Guard Jiang, thank you. Please also thank the Master on my behalf..."
…
There was no one in the East Courtyard.
There were few servants in the East Courtyard to begin with, and now that Jiang Hui had gone to Simeizhai to buy breakfast, Pei Jingxu was the only one left in the huge courtyard.
Jiang Hui naturally didn't worry about Pei Jingxu running around.
Without even saying anything, he placed Pei Jingxu in the yard, asked her to wait for a moment, and then disappeared in a flash.
Pei Jingxu didn't let Hongyao follow.
She first went to the study.
The Pixiu was well kept on the desk in the study, even though she had completed her studies long ago and even though she should have taken the "pen rest" away.
She "forgot" to take the pen holder with her, and he didn't remind her.
Let that out-of-place Pixiu grow on this square table and dominate the place.
There was also a pile of scriptures on the desk, mostly mantras for purifying the mind. The handwriting was vigorous and beautiful, but there were several typos on the paper. It was obvious that the person who copied the scriptures was not "pure-minded" enough.
Walking out of the study, Pei Jingxu pushed open the man’s bedroom door.
Pei Jingxu lifted the curtain, entered the inner room, and came to the man's bed.
She saw the familiar piece of cloth that belonged to her and that she had deliberately left here.
Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed, and a wicked arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
——How could she pretend to have “accidentally discovered” this?
