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

Xie Shuyao was lying on the bed, feeling the heat in her body, which had just subsided, begin to warm up again.

But she had no time to care about her body's reaction, her mind was full of reviewing Pei Jingyi's reaction.

Pei Jingyi's attitude just now was a bit fierce and his words were cold, but he is usually like this and it seems that he is no more serious than usual.

Does this mean that he is not too angry?

Judging from the current situation, he might have known that she was lying but never took any action. He just helped her to get rid of the drug. Maybe... he doesn't hate her that much?

Thinking of this, Xie Shuyao felt more and more that this was the case, and felt secretly happy.

She sat up quickly, changed her clothes and went out.

But she quickly rejected her idea.

Xie Shuyao didn't dare to go to Pei Jingyi openly, so she could only sneak into the study to see if Pei Jingyi would have a violent reaction or lose his temper, so that she could formulate a strategy.

When passing by the window outside the study, Xie Shuyao happened to hear a conversation coming from inside, so she stopped and pricked up her ears.

Due to the distance, and Xie Shuyao's hearing was not very sharp, she could only hear roughly what was said.

She heard Pei Jingyi mention her name and then say "it's been resolved" and "no one will investigate further."

She stood on tiptoe and moved upwards, and finally heard a complete sentence.

Pei Jingyi said in an extremely cold voice: "Tell the public that he is dead. The mansion refuses all visitors."

Xie Shuyao was startled and felt the corpse was warm.

She seemed to have underestimated how dark Pei Jingyi was.

There are only so many people in the mansion, and if someone dies, it cannot be known to outsiders.

That's just her!

This bastard wants to kill people to silence them!

No, no, she hasn't lived enough, she can't just die here.

At this moment, there was only one word in her mind: run!

Xie Shuyao returned to the house without looking back, simply looted the valuables, and turned around to run away.

In her expectation, Pei Jingyi was talking about something and would not come back so soon. As long as she was fast enough, escaping would be easy.

Although the great cause is lost, life is more important.

But she miscalculated again.

Just as she finished packing and pushed open the door, the person outside also opened the door.

The other person was a little faster than her, causing Xie Shuyao to stagger forward due to inertia and almost fall.

The door opened, and Xie Shuyao was shrouded in the other person's shadow.

Outside the house, Pei Jingyi glanced at her coldly and said in a flat voice, "Where are you going?"

He had just heard someone acting suspiciously outside the study room, and he didn't expect it was her.

Xie Shuyao swallowed her saliva, moved her body unnaturally, and explained with a fake smile: "No, I didn't do anything, I was just strolling."

Before she could finish her words, a gold bar suddenly fell out of her sleeve.

There was a loud bang, and the sound was quite crisp.

Xie Shuyao closed her eyes speechlessly. If she had known this thing was too heavy, she should have tied it more tightly.

Pei Jingyi glanced at the gold bars on the ground, then looked at her leisurely and said faintly: "Carrying gold bars with you?"

The smile on Xie Shuyao's lips froze, and she said without daring to move: "Maybe it was accidentally stuffed in when I was getting dressed, hehe, how could it be such a coincidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingyi raised his hand, pulled out the corner of her collar that was exposed from her bulging chest, and pulled out a stack of silver bills.

He weighed the banknotes in his hand and said calmly, "Were these tens of thousands of taels of banknotes also stuffed in by accident?"

After saying that, without waiting for Xie Shuyao's reaction, he raised his eyes to look at the top of her head: "And you have five gold hairpins on your head. Was that also an accident?"
