Chapter 248: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (7)
Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, and Ruan Guannan bit his lower lip tightly, silently resisting Pei Jingmo's beastly behavior.
Even when she was exhausted, Pei Jingmo still had no intention of letting her go, and he acted so ferociously that he seemed to want to kill her on the bed.
In the end, Ruan Guannan couldn't hold on any longer and cried for mercy.
Her voice was hoarse and weak, and her face was tearful, which made Pei Jingmo's heart tremble. He leaned against her forehead and said in a deep voice:
"Don't let him touch you again."
The voice was hoarse and low, with heavy breathing. Although the consequences were not mentioned, Ruan Guannan could feel the threat contained in it even with his eyes closed.
She was too exhausted to deal with this psychopath to bother with him, so she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Pei Jingmo turned over and got out of bed. With the help of the bright moonlight, he could see her condition clearly. Her cheeks were wet from crying, tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, her beautiful red lips were swollen, and her body was covered with dense red marks, which looked a little shocking.
Pei Jingmo stood by the bed and looked at her for a long time, then turned around, fetched a basin of water and wiped her briefly. Finally, he took a last look at the person on the bed, picked up the clothes on the chair and strode away.
Ruan Guannan slept very deeply until she heard someone calling her, then she opened her eyes with difficulty.
Seeing a strange girl standing beside the bed, Ruan Guannan asked in a hoarse voice:
"Who are you? Where's Lotus?"
"Ninth concubine, Sister Hehua has been transferred to another place. My name is Xiaoyu. I will serve you from now on. If you need anything, just tell me."
Xiaoyu stood there respectfully, ignoring the marks on Ruan Guannan's body.
Ruan Guannan glanced at her secretly and realized that she should be the person sent by Pei Jingmo to monitor him. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Could it be that Pei Jingmo began to suspect him?
His mind was filled with mixed feelings, but his face showed a sad expression as he nodded weakly to show that he understood.
As soon as she moved her body, Ruan Guannan frowned uncomfortably. Seeing this, Xiaoyu hurried forward to support her and helped her wash up.
Xiaoyu was a man of few words and served Ruan Guannan very attentively. Seeing that the Ninth Concubine had not smiled at all and had not eaten much the whole day, she could not help but feel a little anxious and said worriedly:
"Are you feeling unwell? Do you want a doctor to come for you?"
Ruan Guannan forced a smile and soothed him, "It's okay, don't bother, I just have no appetite."
As the ninth concubine of the Marshal, she was forced by her husband's son. It was already a determination that she did not bang her head against the wall. Could we really expect her to pretend that nothing had happened?
Seeing that the Ninth Aunt was worried, Xiaoyu didn't dare to say anything.
He was specially sent by the Young Marshal to serve the Ninth Concubine, and was ordered to monitor her every move and report any abnormalities to the Young Marshal without missing a word.
But she always felt that the young marshal's words did not only mean surveillance. When she saw the look on the Ninth Concubine's face this morning, she understood everything and served her even more carefully.
After the servants fell asleep, Xiaoyu reported the abnormality of the Ninth Concubine today and waited for the Marshal's instructions.
When Pei Jingmo finished his work, the person in charge of contacting the Marshal's Mansion was waiting on the side and reported all the news to him.
Pei Jingmo frowned more and more as he listened, "You haven't eaten for a whole day?"
"That's what Xiaoyu said."
Pei Jingmo's face was expressionless, still as cold as an iceberg, but judging from the frequency of his fingertips tapping on the table, he was not as calm as he appeared.
Thinking about what he had been busy with these days, Pei Jingmo suppressed his irritability and said in a deep voice:
"Keep staring."
Thinking of the tearful eyes in his mind, Pei Jingmo's frown became tighter and tighter.
He didn't want a woman to affect his emotions, and the timing of her appearance was indeed suspicious. He thought of keeping a close eye on her so that if there was any unusual movement, he could deal with it immediately.
But he didn't expect that this woman could do such a big thing without making a fuss, which made him feel unhappy as if things were out of his control.
But more importantly, it was because of the anger that she had climbed onto Pei Shichang's bed so decisively despite resisting him, as well as the slight jealousy hidden in the deepest part of her heart.
Pei Jingmo pounded the table in annoyance. It was originally a trivial matter, but now the situation was complicated, plus there were two entanglements between them. After all, she was his first woman, and he really couldn't let go for the time being.
She'd better be consistent in what she says and what she means. If she really has a relationship with the man from the south, even if he has some strange feelings towards her for a while, he will definitely not be merciful.
In the Marshal's Mansion, Ruan Guannan has been quietly staying in his own yard these days and has not gone out, and has had no interaction with anyone in the Marshal's Mansion.
She felt that she was content, but with a face that Pei Shichang was infatuated with, how could he just sit there and watch her?
So one night, Pei Shichang suddenly came to her yard, saying that he came to check on her health and then have dinner with her.
After Ruan Guannan reacted, he nodded obediently and asked the people below to prepare a few more delicious dishes.
Pei Shichang smiled and pulled her to sit down, and asked her a few questions gently. When she said that it was almost done, the smile in Pei Shichang's eyes deepened a little, and he stared at her face for a long time without moving his eyes away.
Ruan Guannan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and his ears turned red. He lowered his head, nervously clutching his handkerchief, and said nothing, but there was a cold look in his lowered eyes.
Especially when Pei Shichang mentioned her family, the hatred in Ruan Guannan's eyes became even stronger, and she almost couldn't help but want to kill him.
But she couldn't. According to her perception, there were soldiers guarding outside the yard. If she killed someone, she might be shot to pieces by bullets the next moment.
She has more than one enemy, she can't just give up here.
Ruan Guannan tried his best to suppress the hatred in his heart. With a look of pain on his face, he told Pei Shichang everything that Pei Jingmo had investigated.
Sure enough, Pei Shichang's face showed even more pity.
Beauty is naturally attractive. If this beauty has a miserable life and he is the one who saves her from suffering, no man can remain indifferent.
Not to mention, there is a man like Pei Shichang who is extremely chauvinistic and lustful.
From Pei Shichang's slightly gentler expression, Ruan Guannan could guess the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, but this was exactly what she needed, and she didn't mind letting him dream for a while.
Pei Shichang wanted to get close to Ruan Guannan, and Ruan Guannan also obeyed his wishes. Outsiders could really see a hint of warmth between them.
After the meal, Pei Shichang really stayed. From the first moment he saw her, Pei Shichang wanted her to be his woman.
Although she fell ill as soon as she entered the mansion, this did not reduce his longing for her. He always felt itchy in his heart before he really got her.
This time he was determined to stay with her and do something good with her.
Pei Shichang had beautiful ideas, but reality often did not go as he wished.
While Pei Shichang was waiting for the beauty to come back from washing, his men knocked on the door hurriedly.
"Marshal, the young commander has something important to report. Please go to the study!"
Pei Shichang wanted to scold him, but when he thought about his eldest son saying it was important, he realized that the matter should not be underestimated.
He frowned and thought about it, then gave Xiaoyu a few instructions and strode out of Ruan Guannan's yard.
When Ruan Guannan came out after washing up, there was no one in the room. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing his face, Ruan Guannan was afraid that he would not be able to resist and take action.
So she slept peacefully all night.
