Chapter 283: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (42)
Ever since Liu Mengmeng found out that Ruan Guannan was not dead and had become Pei Jingmo's wife, she had become as excited as a badger in a melon field. From time to time, she would run to Bailou to find Ruan Guannan and admire the couple she had seen a long time ago from close range.
She said that Guan Nan's beauty is the best match for the current handsome man. What is that thing? It hurts your eyes if you look at it too much!
She leaned close to Ruan Guannan's ear and whispered:
"There are many people out there who are talking about you and the Marshal behind your back. After all, you attended the banquet with your original identity, and many people have seen you. But they only talk about it behind your back and dare not speak in front of you, otherwise the Marshal will have to shoot them dead."
Liu Mengmeng is not exaggerating. Pei Jingmo is not the original Pei Shichang. He acts in a swift and resolute style, and his methods are decisive and ruthless.
If he knew that someone had offended his wife, that person would definitely not be able to survive in Jincheng, so no one dared to be the first to speak out.
Moreover, Liu Mengmeng and Ruan Guannan were good friends, so the Liu family naturally stood behind Pei Jingmo. The Liu family had a high status in Jincheng. After the death of the former director of the Finance Department, Wen Lishan, the Finance Department was transferred to the Liu family.
Now that the Liu family has boarded Pei Jingmo's big ship, his position as the commander-in-chief is as stable as a rock, and there is no opposition at all.
Ruan Guannan poked his son's soft little face and smiled very gently.
"I can't stop them from talking. Let them say whatever they want, just don't get close to me."
Liu Mengmeng nodded, and followed her to admire the little guy in the cradle. Her eyes were almost shining, and she said excitedly:
"Xiao Zheng'er, you are so pretty, aren't you? You are really the most beautiful little guy I have ever seen!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but lower his head and sucked on her little face a few times, and the smile on his face was almost abnormal.
Liu Mengmeng has been coming to Bailou more frequently recently, and Pei Jingmo's face has become a little ugly, especially when he saw her sticking so close to his wife, Pei Jingmo's eyes were so cold that he wished he could freeze her to death.
Liu Mengmeng didn't dare to commit a crime against the law. She was not allowed to kiss the beauty, but it should be okay for her to kiss the child who looked like the beauty, right?
She was very confident and under Ruan Guannan's amused gaze, she bent down and kissed him several times until the little guy's eyes were curved.
After Liu Mengmeng left, Pei Jingmo walked into the room with a cold face. Without saying a word, he wet his handkerchief, bent down and wiped the little guy's face several times, until the little guy shook his head in dissatisfaction to avoid it.
Ruan Guannan pinched him speechlessly, "What's wrong with you?"
A long time ago, he wiped her hands, and now he wiped his son's face. Is this the only effect he has from carrying a handkerchief every day?
Pei Jingmo leaned over and kissed her several times, until she became breathless, then he reluctantly let go, and kissed her lips several more times before speaking:
"Zheng'er looks like you..."
Before he finished speaking, Ruan Guannan understood what he meant. Because Zheng'er looked like her, he couldn't stand others kissing his cheek.
She tried to hold back her laughter, but still got angry and said teasingly, "What if Zheng'er gets married? Don't you allow them to be close to each other? Are you going to wipe his face in his new house?"
Pei Jingmo held her tenderly, kissed her earlobe and said, "Just don't let me see it."
Ruan Guannan pinched a piece of flesh on his waist and twisted it, but seeing that there was no change on his face, she changed her strategy, held his head and bit it directly with a clear goal. This was exactly what the man wanted, and he held the back of her neck and kissed her until he lost himself.
The last hurdle was out of control, Pei Jingmo picked her up and strode into the bedroom.
After a while, some indescribable sounds came from inside, causing the little guy in the cradle in the outer room to babble non-stop. He thought his mother was calling him and waved his hands happily.

Ever since Pei Jingmo won the battle in the north, the entire north has been under his control, and the south has also been integrated and merged by Marshal Nie of Wancheng.
In the study, Adjutant Liu frowned and reported: "There has been a lot of restlessness in Wancheng recently. Marshal Nie seems to be ready to tear up the peace agreement."
Pei Jingmo's eyes flashed with deep meaning, "The agreement was originally a delaying tactic for him. Now that he has freed up his hands, isn't he eyeing my territory?"
"If they dare to start a quarrel, we in the North District will not be pushovers. We will teach them a lesson!"
Adjutant Liu spoke passionately. Pei Jingmo glanced at him without saying anything, but he agreed in his heart.
"Always pay attention to the developments in Wancheng and urge all armies to be prepared for battle."
"Yes."
At the same time, in a study room in the Wancheng Marshal's Mansion, Nie Lianzhou leaned back in the armchair, his eyes slightly narrowed, listening to his subordinates reporting the news from Jincheng.
When he heard the familiar name, Nie Lianzhou slowly sat up, put his hands on the table, stared at the people below, and asked word by word:
"You mean, Pei Shichang's ninth concubine faked her death and married Pei Jingmo, and became the Marshal's wife now?"
"Yes, this news is not a secret among the upper echelons of Jincheng. It is indeed true."
Nie Lianzhou's eyes flashed, and he sat back in his chair without saying anything for a long time. The stunning face of Furong appeared in his mind again, and his mood was a little complicated.
As a spy, she was undoubtedly successful. Not only did she get close to Pei Shichang, she also killed Pei Shichang's biggest backer, and now she has become the wife of the current Marshal.
He had some compassion at first, thinking that if she failed to complete the mission, calling her back could save her life.
But not long after, he received the news that she had completed her mission, but had passed away. He was silent for a long time, feeling a sense of regret and pity in his heart.
Now that he suddenly knew that she was still alive, Nie Lianzhou's heart inevitably began to ripple.
Thinking of the increasingly tense situation between the North and the South, he was secretly planning in his mind.
At the beginning, he let Ruan Guannan kill Wen Lishan in order to cut off a major arm of Pei Shichang, and then instigate and induce the old man Zhang Mao to fight with Pei Shichang. After the chaos in the north, he would take advantage of the opportunity and catch them off guard.
But he and his father didn't expect that the stubborn old man in Sucheng actually had a trick up his sleeve, which made it take them a long time to annex Sucheng. And Zhang Mao was even more of a waste, and he was defeated by Jincheng so quickly.
No, it should be said that they were beaten down by Pei Jingmo. Although they had been alert to Pei Jingmo, they still underestimated his strong skills. The Liao District was defeated so quickly as a good example.
With Pei Jingmo in charge of Jincheng, their ambition to annex the north and unify the north and the south is likely to encounter obstacles.
He sat in the chair and pondered for a long time, then said to his men in a deep voice: "Send her a message secretly, and ask her to find a way to report Pei Jingmo's recent situation back to Wancheng."
The subordinate took the order and left. Nie Lianzhou sat in the study without saying a word.
He already had a guess in his mind that Ruan Guannan had become the wife of a high-ranking marshal in Jincheng and had even given birth to a child for that man, so her heart might not be here anymore.
No, she has never been here. The most important thing in her mind is revenge for her family. Now that she has achieved her revenge, nothing can hold her back anymore.
However, this did not stop him from trying it out. Let him see whether she still remembered that she was the spy he trained.
