Chapter 209 I Only Believe in Sister
Pei Jingxu's throat felt like it was blocked by cotton, unable to swallow it but also unable to spit it out.
She had no choice but to pinch Pei Huaifeng's broad fingers and lower her head: "Okay, everything is fine..."
Pei Huaifeng has always understood his sister.
Good or bad, she always says everything is good.
Pei Huaifeng pulled the corner of his mouth and shook Pei Jingxu's sleeve: "Sister, I want to eat the snacks you made. I haven't eaten them for many years."
Pei Jingxu burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Okay, I'll make it for you today."
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment when he said this. He looked at Pei Huaifeng and said, "You are still charged with crimes. Why are you back in the capital?"
Pei Huaifeng pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "I want to investigate the truth of what happened back then and clear my father's name."
Pei Jingxu was slightly stunned, and even the hand holding Pei Huaifeng tightened a little.
"Sister, don't you think what happened back then is peculiar? You and I both know Dad. He's definitely not the kind of person who would sell out his master for personal gain. Even if he really wanted to do that, why did he leave behind those letters of treason, giving the soldiers a handle to confiscate our property?"
Pei Jingxu was speechless for a moment.
She didn't know how to explain to Pei Huaifeng.
To explain these people, they are just living in a storybook. The writer only mentioned the death of their father briefly, just to enrich the blackening process of this vicious female supporting role.
——If I must say it, it was she, Pei Jingxu, who killed the Pei family.
If my father and Pei Huaifeng were not her relatives, they should have lived a good and happy life.
But the vicious female supporting character needs a reason to be "vicious" and needs to have an indelible stain in her life.
As a sinner, this stain is enough for the heroine to wear the halo of the heroine, stand on the moral high ground to judge her and erase her.
Her existence, and even the experiences of her father and Pei Huaifeng, were just stepping stones for the heroine Bai Shutong to climb up.
Pei Jingxu didn't know how to say these words to Pei Huaifeng.
Would Pei Huaifeng think that she was a lunatic, that she didn't want to investigate and overturn the case for her father, and that it was an excuse for her to cherish her life?
A breath was stuck in Pei Jingxu's throat.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Jingxu looked at Pei Huaifeng in front of him.
She clearly remembered that her younger brother Pei Huaifeng was a handsome and heroic young man. When he rode his horse on Chang'an Street, he would attract countless girls to look back with envy.
The boy today has lost his youthfulness and immaturity, and his posture is steady and his emotions are not obvious.
——Pei Huaifeng has grown up.
Pursing her lips tightly, Pei Jingxu thought for a long time before finally speaking in a low voice: "Xiaofeng, if... if I said, I don't want you to go--"
"good."
Before Pei Jingxu could finish speaking, Pei Huaifeng's firm and serious answer came from above his head.
Pei Jingxu widened his eyes and stood there in a daze.
She looked at him, opened her mouth, and took a long time to find her voice: "Do you know what I want to ask you?"
Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu with a steady gaze: "Sister, I know."
Pei Jingxu's nose felt sore, and her voice started to tear up: "Then why aren't you going to ask me why?"
Pei Huaifeng still looked at her seriously, with a pair of eyes and eyebrows similar to Pei Jingxu, and gave her all his trust.
"Sister, in this world right now, the only one I can trust and rely on is you."
Pei Huaifeng's tone was calm and gentle, as if they had never been separated before. She held his hand and brought him home countless times.
"If I don't believe or listen to what you say, who else can I trust?"
Having said that, Pei Huaifeng was like a tired bird returning to the forest. He lost all his strength and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Sister, can you take Xiaofeng home?"
Pei Jingxu's eyes turned red and tears rolled down.
"good."
…
Pei Jingxu helped Pei Huaifeng redeem himself.
Pei Huaifeng had not been in Nanfeng Pavilion for long, but because of his face and the little bit of business acumen he showed, he became the top star of Nanfeng Pavilion as soon as he arrived.
When she heard that someone wanted to redeem him, the madam of Nanfengguan was the first to disagree.
Pei Jingxu didn't waste any words. He threw a large bag of gold leaves to her and asked her coldly, "This is the deposit. I'll send the rest tomorrow."
The madam had never seen so much money!
His eyes widened immediately, and he held the bag of heavy gold leaves tremblingly, without even bothering to look at Pei Huaifeng.
"Mr. Feiyi, your luggage has been packed. You have finally met someone you truly cherish!"
Taking Pei Huaifeng out of Nanfeng Pavilion, Pei Jingxu was more worried that Pei Huaifeng's face would be seen by someone with ulterior motives than himself.
So she put the veil on his head and whispered, "I'll take you to find a house to stay in first, and we'll discuss the rest later."
With his sister, Pei Huaifeng only knew to nod along with her: "I will listen to you, sister."
Hongyao was originally waiting outside. When she saw her daughter "sneakily" leading a "strange man" out of Nanfeng Pavilion, her eyes widened immediately and her jaw almost dropped to the ground!
Pei Jingxu didn't want to explain too much to Hongyao, so he just ordered, "Hongyao, go back to the new house and help me guard it. If Rong Jianxue asks about it, you can help me answer a few questions. I will go back immediately."
"G-Girl!?"
Before Hongyao could say anything else, Pei Jingxu pulled Pei Huaifeng and disappeared from the alley.
--
That night.
When Pei Jingxu returned to his new house, he felt tired and energetic!
She originally thought that according to the plot, Xiaofeng would no longer be alive, but now that he is found again, she would be happy even if she has to work a little harder!
She talked a lot with Xiaofeng today. If the situation allowed, she would have a lot more to say to him!
She bought a house for Pei Huaifeng not far from the new house. Because time was urgent, the house was not big, but fortunately it was enough for him to rest for a while.
Pei Jingxu was not quite sure why Xiaofeng was not beheaded in public as planned, but he was still a wanted criminal, and Pei Jingxu did not intend to tell anyone about this except Hongyao.
Rong Jianxue is even worse.
Rong Jianxue is a loyal minister who has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. If he knew that she was harboring a suspect, especially a death row inmate, he would definitely not let her go and track her down to the end.
Taking a deep breath, Pei Jingxu adjusted her mood and walked into the mansion with her skirt lifted.
The house is exceptionally quiet tonight.
Pei Jingxu pursed her lips slightly and walked lightly.
Just as he stepped over the threshold of the gate, Pei Jingxu heard Jiang Hui's anxious voice from not far away: "Second Madam, why did you come back so late?"
Like a frightened cat, Pei Jingxu straightened his back instantly and gave Jiang Hui a forced smile: "Guard Jiang, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"
Jiang Hui was in tears: He was still resting, and he was almost dismissed from his job and investigated!
"Second Madam, the Master is waiting for you in the study..."
As he spoke, Jiang Hui showed a sympathetic expression towards Pei Jingxu.
…
Outside the study.
Jiang Hui knocked lightly on the door and said respectfully, "Sir, the Second Lady is back."
The lights in the study were on and the door was closed.
"Let her wait."
