Chapter 15 She wants more than just to survive!
His Buddhist beads were still hanging on his wrist.
The increasingly tight force made Rong Jianxue tilt her head slightly.
He lowered his eyes to look at her. The man was like the Buddha in the portrait, with kind eyes and benevolent features, and no emotion could be seen.
——It was as if her pain, sorrow and joy had nothing to do with him.
Pei Jingxu frowned, her eyes moved, thinking about what to do next.
"grown ups--"
She wanted to call him again, but before she could say anything, the next second, Rong Jianxue grabbed her wrist and pulled her over, protecting her under his body!
Before Pei Jingxu could react, he heard a commotion behind him: "Brothers! Follow me to kill Shen Anshan!"
It's the sound of swords clashing!
People were thrown to the ground, and the originally lively banquet suddenly became chaotic. The women on the other side of the screen all screamed in panic!
Pei Jingxu had his back to the assassins and was protected in Rong Jianxue's arms.
——It’s an assassination!
The sound of wine glasses falling to the ground, guests screaming, and short blades clashing...all kinds of sounds intertwined together, and the scene was extremely chaotic!
Pei Jingxu pressed against the man's chest and heard Rong Jianxue's calm yet strong heartbeat.
In the previous life, Pei Jingxu was framed by Chen Congyue and was taken to a side courtyard by her maid, just avoiding the assassination.
She remembered that the assassination was aimed at Shen Anshan, but Rong Jianxue had set up an ambush early and captured these assassins in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu was no longer worried. Instead, he moved his eyes and thought about how to maximize his own interests.
Pei Jingxu's lips curled up slightly as he thought of something, but his voice trembled: "Sir, what's wrong?"
"There's an assassin, and we'll take care of him immediately."
Pei Jingxu saw Jiang Hui coming with a sword drawn out of the corner of his eye. He led everyone and instantly surrounded the assassins in the yard and started to fight back!
Those assassins were defeated one after another and were far inferior to Jiang Hui and others!
Success or failure is already determined.
Pei Jingxu rested his forehead against the man's chest, his voice soft and hoarse: "Sir... Ah Xu feels so uncomfortable..."
Rong Jianxue protected her back with one hand and looked down at her, thinking that the effect of the medicine had not yet worn off, with a cold and indifferent expression.
"Sir, save Ah Xu..."
As Pei Jingxu spoke, her hands "unconsciously" wrapped around his arms, like a kitten seeking shelter.
The leading assassin struggled desperately, raised his sword and slashed at Jiang Hui like a trapped beast!
Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold: "Kill."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui slightly turned the back of the knife in his hand into a sharp blade, and chopped at the person without hesitation!
"laugh--"
Warm, flowing, sticky blood.
Pei Jingxu subconsciously turned around to look, but the next second, a big hand behind him covered his eyes.
"Don't look."
The voice was clear and indifferent.
The effect of the medicine on Pei Jingxu disappeared completely.
She touched the blood, and the dress behind her was also covered with blood stains.
At this moment, Pei Jingxu only felt a buzzing in his ears, and even the sounds around him became blurry and hazy.
Ah, someone is dead.
——Instigated by Rong Jianxue.
Even in her previous life, Pei Jingxu had never faced death like this. The warm blood flowed all over the ground, and the slippery touch seemed to soak her whole body.
At this moment, Pei Jingxu finally felt the reality of Rong Jianxue.
——He is not only a kind-hearted man with Buddhist beads on his hands, but also a powerful official who kills people without blinking an eye.
The last time he was attacked on the way down the mountain, Jiang Hui simply repelled the assassin, but now, he killed him on the spot.
Pei Jingxu felt a chill all over his body.
——If, if one day, Rong Jianxue knew the truth, knew that everything she did was to seduce him, just to survive, would he kill her?
Yes.
A man like Rong Jianxue cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. He will definitely not keep a woman with such a despicable mind like her.
The hands covering her eyes were cool and large, without any trace of lust.
"What's wrong?"
Feeling Pei Jingxu's stiff body, Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Pei Jingxu curled up in the man's arms, unable to utter a word.
Rong Jianxue's voice came from above again: "It's over. I'll have Jiang Hui take you back home."
Pei Jingxu took his hands off the man's arms, took a few steps back, and left his arms.
Do you want to stop?
Such questions arose in Pei Jingxu's mind.
Should I stop? If I stop here, at least Rong Jianxue won't notice anything unusual, and she can still escape unscathed.
If she just wanted to survive, she had other options.
It would be fine to give all the dowry to the Rong family. In this way, she could take advantage of the situation and let the Rong family drive her out of the Rong Mansion, and leave the capital city and live a free and open life.
——She can survive too.
The description of Rong Jianxue in the storybook made Pei Jingxu deeply feel at this moment that such a "true gentleman" would not tolerate deception towards him.
But……
Pei Jingxu raised his eyes slightly, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Why is it just survival! Why is it just survival!
Just because she is a cannon fodder female supporting role in a storybook, does that mean she doesn’t deserve a comeback and revenge?
She is unwilling to accept it!
Pei Jingxu was born into a merchant family. Her father taught her since she was young that doing business is like a gamble. It all depends on whether you dare to sit at the gambling table and have the courage to "go all in"!
——She dares to go all in.
She wants more than just to stay alive.
This vicious female supporting character is determined to try and see if she can rewrite the fate and crush the heroine's halo!
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu's pupils trembled a few times, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"I'm a little... afraid to see Guard Jiang..."
It is my fear and terror.
For some reason, when Rong Jianxue heard her reject Jiang Hui, her originally frowned brows inexplicably smoothed out a little.
"Jiang Huike can stay and deal with the aftermath. I'll take you back first."
"good……"
Rong Jianxue chatted with Chen Anshan for a few more words, then did not stay any longer and took Pei Jingxu on the carriage back home.
In the carriage, Pei Jingxu leaned weakly on the frame, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Men from outside the house were not allowed to ride in the same carriage with women from the inner house, so Rong Jianxue sat outside the carriage and did not go in.
"Sir... Ah Xu wants to drink some water..."
Inside the carriage, the woman's voice was soft and weak.
Rong Jianxue: "The kettle is in the secret compartment under the cushion."
Pei Jingxu pretended to search for a few times, and as if he had exhausted all his strength, he fell back on the mat.
"Did you find it?"
"No...but it's okay. I'm going back home soon. It'll be the same if Ah Xu drinks again when he gets home."
Rong Jianxue pursed her thin lips when she heard this.
A woman's violent dry cough was heard from inside the carriage, and it sounded very painful.
Rong Jianxue closed his eyes slightly, and finally, he said "Excuse me" to the woman in the carriage, then lifted the curtain and leaned in.
Pei Jingxu closed his eyes in "pain" and lay crookedly on one side, his face pale and sweat on his forehead.
Rong Jianxue took out the kettle from the secret compartment, poured it into the teacup, and handed it to Pei Jingxu.
"Wake up and drink the water."
Pei Jingxu suppressed the smile on her lips, supported herself shakily, and took the water cup from the man's hand.
"Brother Xuanzhou, thank you..."
