Chapter 256: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (15)
Since Shen Yin became Pei Sizhe's concubine, his marriage was put on the agenda and he was officially engaged to the Liu family.
So in the past few days, Wen Shuqin smiled a lot more, which shows that she is really satisfied with this marriage.
However, her good mood came to an abrupt end when she learned that the eighth concubine was pregnant.
Since she became the Marshal's wife, except for the eldest son left behind, she is the only one in the entire Marshal's Mansion who has given birth to a son and a daughter. This shows how capable Wen Shuqin is.
But unexpectedly, because she was busy with Pei Sizhe's marriage during this period, she neglected to let the eighth concubine secretly get pregnant, which made Wen Shuqin very angry.
Let's not talk about how angry Wen Shuqin was behind her back, just say that Pei Shichang himself was extremely happy. He attached great importance to the eighth concubine's baby. In addition, the eighth concubine's deliberate nagging made Pei Shichang unable to take care of the ninth concubine who he had been thinking about for a while.
Ruan Guannan couldn't help but start to get anxious. She had also thought of ways to take the initiative to find Pei Shichang, but she was always unable to meet him due to various reasons. If Ruan Guannan still didn't know who was behind this, then she would be a fool.
Ruan Guannan wanted to stab Pei Jingmo, this annoying guy, to death. He felt inexplicably angry in his heart. After hearing that the Marshal would be returning home soon, Ruan Guannan dressed up carefully and went to a garden in the mansion.
This garden is the only way for the Marshal to return to the front hall. She secretly made up her mind to get close to Pei Shichang today.
She sat in the pavilion in the garden, with the breeze blowing past, bringing a pleasant fragrance, and she formed a piece of scenery in herself in the dim skylight.
After Pei Sizhe came back from the theater after listening to music, he saw the beautiful scenery that he had been thinking about. He immediately turned around and quickly went up to the pavilion.
He sat down opposite Ruan Guannan, handed the flower branch he had just picked to her, and said in what he thought was a low voice:
"Flowers are only matched with beauties, and the Ninth Concubine is even more beautiful than this flower."
Ruan Guannan looked up when he heard the voice and was disgusted by Pei Sizhe's obsessed look. He said coldly:
"Second Young Master, I am the Marshal's concubine, you are out of line."
It has to be said that Pei Sizhe is extremely bold. She is nominally his elder, but he comes to tease her so openly. Is he fearless or does he think that he is so charming that she will take the bait as soon as he throws it?
Pei Sizhe's smile faded a little, but his eyes were still glued to her beautiful face. He leaned closer and whispered:
"My father has too many concubines to take care of you. Besides, he is not young anymore. How can he be as young and interesting as me?"
Ruan Guannan glanced at him sideways, picked up the flower branch and looked at it casually, without saying anything.
Pei Sizhe saw that there was a chance, and his voice was even more seductive, "Why don't you just follow me? I will protect you well in the future and make sure you don't suffer any loss in this Marshal's Mansion."
Ruan Guannan was almost laughing in his heart out of disgust at his words. Didn't he mean to be sneaky with her so that he could get her without offending his father? Wasn't it the best of both worlds?
Ruan Guannan had changed his plan when he first saw him. Now, after hearing what he said, he asked uncertainly with a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Really? You didn't trick me?"
Pei Sizhe's hands were shaking with excitement, and he kept assuring her, "I really like you, how could I bear to lie to you?"
Ruan Guannan bit her lower lip with her teeth, lowered her eyes and thought for a long time. When Pei Sizhe was about to lose his patience, she nodded hesitantly, quickly raised her eyes and looked at him embarrassedly, then stood up and walked out.
Pei Sizhe was instantly captivated by her glance, and his throat couldn't stop rolling. How could he let the beauty in his mouth fly away like that?
He looked around and saw no one, so he quickly chased after him in the cover of night.
Looking at the slender figure right in front of him, the strange thing is that Pei Sizhe is always a few steps behind her, and he can only follow her pace to avoid her and walk farther and farther away.
When the people in front stopped, Pei Sizhe leaned against the wall and breathed lightly. Ruan Guannan turned around and stood up straight for the sake of his reputation, looking relaxed.
Ruan Guannan pointed shyly towards a secluded courtyard, suggesting that they go in together.
Pei Sizhe became even more energetic and couldn't wait to follow Ruan Guannan into the yard. Before he even entered the house, he was eager to pounce on Ruan Guannan.
The remote little courtyard was silent, and the coldness on Ruan Guannan's face was obscured by the night, making it difficult to see clearly.
She glanced sideways and saw that she had been holding the sharp hairpin in her hand all the way, just waiting for this vicious and lustful idiot to get close, and Ruan Guannan took the opportunity to get rid of this trash.
From the first moment she saw Pei Sizhe, she wanted to cut him into pieces.
But he kept hanging around in front of her. Even though she knew she would be at risk of being exposed if she took action now, she could no longer bear Pei Sizhe to be alive.
Thinking about how his sister had been molested by Pei Sizhe in such a disgusting way, or even worse, Ruan Guannan's eyes turned red with anger, filled with cold murderous intent, waiting for that scum to approach.
With a "bang", Ruan Guannan did not wait for Pei Sizhe to approach, but heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind her. She was so frightened that she subconsciously turned her head to look over.
Instead of seeing the face she imagined, she was suddenly met with a pair of cold and gloomy eyes. Ruan Guannan felt a chill in her heart and could not help but take several steps back.
Pei Jingmo didn't care how panicked she was. He stepped over the pile of things on the ground whose lives were unknown, and approached the target with a cold face. He didn't stop until he had forced the person into a corner with no way to retreat. He looked down at her.
Ruan Guannan avoided his sharp gaze. His eyes, hidden by his eyelashes, became even redder, spreading to his eye sockets. He looked like a pitiful person who had been bullied.
Until Pei Jingmo came a little closer, Ruan Guannan raised the hairpin in his hand and pointed it at him, with obvious panic and fear in his eyes, "Are you going to force me here too?"
Pei Jingmo paused, and looked at her with a deeper look in his eyes, "Pei Sizhe is forcing you here?"
Ruan Guannan turned his head away, letting his tears fall like beads from a broken string.
"What else? You, the Pei family, are really amazing. You are all so cruel and crazy, without any sense of human ethics."
Pei Jingmo heard her sarcasm, but didn't say whether he believed it or not. Seeing her tears falling, the anger that was stuck in his throat could not be vented for a moment.
He reached out and grasped her small hand that was tightly holding the hairpin, and with some strength he pried it apart and held it up to his eyes. Sure enough, he saw that the delicate palms were covered with marks from fingernails.
Pei Jingmo rubbed his hands a few times without any expression. Ruan Guannan pulled his hand back angrily and said angrily, "You don't need to pretend to be kind."
"What? Are you going to die with him?"
