Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 245: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (4)

After Pei Jingmo finished his report, he stood there with his eyes lowered, waiting for instructions from above.

"Hahaha, well done! That grandson of Zhang Mao thinks we're easy to bully? You did a great job this time."

Pei Shichang laughed out loud, and his originally cold and majestic expression softened a little. He praised his eldest son a few words.

Pei Jingmo remained silent, his mood did not change at all because of his praise, he was taciturn and cold.

Pei Shichang was already used to his son's silence, so he didn't mind it. He stood up, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Stay for dinner later, there's no rush for official business."

"Ah."

Pei Jingmo nodded and followed Pei Shichang to the main courtyard.

When he came in, the bustling hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone stood up and invited Pei Shichang to take a seat.

Among them, the eighth concubine was the bravest. She was not afraid of the Marshal's majesty. She came over, took his arm and started to act coquettishly.

This eighth concubine was the youngest concubine in the Marshal's Mansion. Pei Shichang liked her lively and pretty appearance very much. He usually indulged her and allowed her to sit at the main table during meals.

At this time, she was the only one who dared to pester the Marshal in public. She even sat next to him, pushing Pei Jingmo to the next seat.

The Marshal didn't say anything, so the Eighth Concubine took it for granted.

Pei Jingmo didn't say anything, and no one dared to greet him, except Pei Yue.

"Brother, what have you been busy with these past few days? I can't even see your shadow..."

Pei Yue ignored Pei Jingmo's cold face, sat steadily beside him, and complained in a coquettish voice.

"I have official business."

Pei Jingmo spoke briefly and to the point, and did not show any sign of familiarity because of her proximity.

Pei Yue was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, but she still looked well-behaved, which made the eldest lady opposite even angrier.

He was already filled with anger because of the bitch, the Eighth Concubine, who acted coquettishly regardless of the occasion.

Now seeing her biological daughter not being close to her own brother, but running to ask about the son left behind, she felt even more upset. Although she still had a decent smile on her face, her voice had become deeper.

"Yue'er, go back to your seat."

Pei Yue was somewhat reluctant, but when she saw her mother's gloomy look, she sat back down.

Pei Shichang smiled and pointed in her direction. He had always doted on his daughter.

She glanced around, but didn't see the person she wanted to see, so she asked the eldest lady:

"Where is the Ninth Concubine?"

The first wife had just breathed a sigh of relief because the Marshal did not mention where her son was.

As a result, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Marshal's words got stuck in her throat. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

Pei Shichang frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with her behavior.

The two had already had a quarrel over the matter of him taking a ninth concubine.

Originally, he thought that the first wife was usually decent and had given birth to a son and a daughter. He didn't want to make things too awkward with her, so he stayed in her room tonight to ease the relationship.

But seeing her expression change when she mentioned the Ninth Concubine, he lost his mood and his face darkened.

Seeing how he treated her like this for that woman, the first wife felt even more disgusted with that enchanting woman, but she still spoke:

"I've sent someone to call them. They should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone walking in from outside. As soon as she stepped in, the whole hall became brighter.

The yellowish light shone on the delicate, porcelain-white face, making it even more dazzling for no reason.

When Pei Shichang saw her, the obsession in his eyes was obvious. He frowned and looked at the Eighth Concubine beside him and said coldly:

"Go to the next table."

The Eighth Concubine was faced with the Marshal's rapid change of expression. Even though she had seen it several times in the past few days, she was still very upset.

But she did not dare to disobey him. She had already been punished for disobeying him before, so even if she was unwilling, she could only get up and go to the table of the concubine next door.

Pei Shichang looked at the Ninth Concubine and smiled gently, "Come and sit next to me."

"Ah."

Pei Jingmo didn't care about the new concubine. He knew Pei Shichang's character. He was a romantic and passionate person, but he was also very ruthless towards those he disliked. This one would not be an exception.

He sat in his seat in silence until that pleasant and familiar voice sounded, and then a barely perceptible fluctuation appeared on his face.

Pei Jingmo's thoughts flashed through his mind so quickly that he couldn't catch them in time.

The person next to him sat down, and the fragrance that invaded his nose evoked his memory faster than his brain. Pei Jingmo suddenly turned his head to look over, and only saw the woman's perfect and beautiful profile, but this was enough.

Pei Yue, who had been secretly watching him, immediately noticed that something was wrong with him. Seeing that he had been staring at the Ninth Concubine, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis and warned him loudly:

"Brother, you haven't met this Ninth Concubine yet, right? Father brought her back from Paramount at great expense, and she is very much loved by father."

The people at the table subconsciously looked at Pei Jingmo, but he had already retracted his gaze. Everyone only saw his expressionless face and his teeth were chattering from the cold.

Pei Shichang was somewhat displeased. Although he usually loved his eldest daughter very much, he felt that his authority was challenged when she commented on her father's concubine in public.

He gave her a warning look, but was reluctant to say anything harsh to his daughter.

Once the atmosphere had eased a bit, everyone started eating and drinking with peace of mind.

Pei Shichang fixed his eyes on the beauty next to him. The more he looked, the more lustful his eyes became. His voice also became much gentler as he asked in a low voice:

"are you better?"

Ruan Guannan has been feeling nervous ever since he met Pei Jingmo.

Because of the Chinese medicine I took that day, my mind was fuzzy and I only vaguely remember the man's general appearance, but I had no idea about his identity.

I didn’t expect that he was the Marshal’s son!

Suddenly facing this horrifying scene, Ruan Guannan's body was tense and he dared not relax, for fear that he would say something.

Hearing the Marshal's question, Ruan Guannan forced a smile and replied, "Much better."

The Marshal nodded and liked her more and more the more he looked at her.

Ruan Guannan lowered his eyes to hide the hatred in them, and he lowered his head to eat without saying a word.

She also wants to avenge her parents, she must not be exposed!

Then the only thing we can do is to find a way to get rid of those who pose a threat to us.

Since leaving that day, Ruan Guannan returned to Paramount.

Sister Bai thought that the young marshal would discard her after using her and had no intention of taking her as a concubine. She felt worried but also happy.

This time, Paramount will not be able to rely on the young marshal, but with Ruan Guannan's stunning face, they will not have to worry about not getting rich in the short term.

Ruan Guannan didn't explain much. He was packaged by Sister Bai, given the stage name "Red Rose", and prepared to be launched.

Then she went on stage and danced, and was invited over by the distinguished guests in the box on the third floor.

Sister Bai was extremely happy. She knew who was in the box and had deliberately let Red Rose show her face in front of that person. As expected, she was chosen.

As for the fact that both the father and the son are with the same woman?

Sister Bai curled her lips in disdain. It was unclear whether the young commander would like her or not. Besides, if he was looking for a woman at Paramount, would he care whether she was chaste?

She only knew that if she could show off in front of the Marshal and make money at the same time, only a fool would refuse.

……

Hey, hey, chop off my claws? I, Thomas Roundhouse, will be your stepmother!

Hey, good night, babies.
