After Jiaojiao got pregnant, her husband who died in the war came back

However, the person inside was one step faster than Baizhi.

The bead curtain swayed, and a tall figure strode up to her, startling everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Bai Zhi's face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue. After reacting, she immediately saluted: "General!"

The others also shouted in unison: "General!"

Pei Jingyi stared at her for two seconds, then swept his eyes across the crowd. His face was as cold as ice, and he said sternly:

"Who allowed you to bring people in? I didn't even know. Are you the one who calls the shots in this mansion?"

Bai Zhi still didn't believe that Pei Jingyi had anything to do with Xie Shuyao. She pointed inside and hurriedly explained, with a somewhat ferocious expression, saying:

"General! Xie Shuyao had an affair with a wild man and even brought him back to the mansion blatantly. If you search the mansion now, you will definitely find him."

A guard who had a good relationship with Bai Zhi also explained: "General, Bai Zhi is also eager to protect her master. Someone really saw a man carrying her back just now. You must investigate carefully."

Pei Jingyi looked at the man in front of him coldly, and uttered a few words from his thin lips: "No need to check, the wild man you are talking about is this general."

Baizhi:!

She still didn't think that Pei Jingyi would have such a good relationship with Xie Shuyao. Everyone knew that he was cold and abstinent, an unattractive high-necked flower, so how could he fall for a jinx?

Bai Zhi blurted out: "Impossible! General, have you been deceived by her?"

Pei Jingyi was really angry this time. There was a chill in his narrow eyes, and he said expressionlessly: "Otherwise, ask that person to come and confront us face to face."

Realizing that his tone was wrong, Bai Zhi shook off her anger and quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake: "I dare not."

Pei Jingyi slammed the table and angrily said, "I think you are very daring! I never realized that you have such big ideas before. Why don't you start your own business?"

As soon as he said this, everyone knew that he was really angry.

Everyone present had been with Pei Jingyi for many years and had been through thick and thin together. The same was true for Bai Zhi. Upon hearing this, they all knelt down and begged for mercy: "General, please have mercy!"

This episode gave Pei Jingyi a headache. He looked at the people kneeling on the ground and took a deep breath.

After his expression softened a bit, he said in a calm tone, "The mansion has no room for you, go to the training ground on your own."

What she meant was that she was not allowed to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

Although this order seemed harmless, it was like a loud slap in the face to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi lowered her head in anger, not daring to anger Pei Jingyi again. She gritted her teeth and said, "Bai Zhi, listen to my orders."

Although she managed to escape by chance, Bai Zhi did not reflect on herself, but hated Xie Shuyao even more.

After leaving, Bai Zhi glanced at the house behind her, her eyes full of resentment.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Qin Lang quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't be sad, the general said that in a moment of desperation, and..."

At this point, he leaned over to Bai Zhi's ear and whispered, "It is said that family disgrace should not be made public. The general may have done this to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi, who was very sad just now, suddenly brightened up and said, "You mean..."

Jiang Dong followed behind the two of them. He had excellent hearing and heard every word of their conversation.

He pushed Qin Lang on the shoulder, his eyes full of warning: "What are you talking about? Don't believe everything you hear."

Qin Lang was not convinced: "You are the one who said this."

When Jiang Dong first discovered that Xie Shuyao was dating a strange man, he did complain a few times, but now that the general was not going to pursue the matter, what else could he say?

The general certainly has his reasons for what he does.

He said calmly, "Anyway, don't worry about it. Just follow the general's orders."

Bai Zhi sneered after hearing this, as if she didn't agree with Jiang Dong's words, "You are obedient."

The crowd dispersed and Pei Jingyi returned to the house.

Xie Shuyao huddled in the quilt, still maintaining the same posture as before, with a dull expression, only her eyes following Pei Jingyi's movements.

Their eyes met, and Pei Jingyi saw that her face was flushed and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. Suddenly, the scene that had just happened not long ago flashed through his mind, and his throat suddenly felt dry.

He avoided her gaze, sat down at the table, and poured himself a glass of water.

After the cool water entered his intestines and eliminated his heat, he looked at Xie Shuyao and slowly spoke: "Why are you mute? You were quite talkative just now."
