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

Bai Zhi pursed her red lips. Seeing him bringing Xie Shuyao over just now, she knew that between herself and Xie Shuyao, she chose to believe the latter.

At this time, quibbling will be useless.

She could only blame herself for underestimating Xie Shuyao's abilities.

She immediately knelt down and saluted: "Because of my negligence, I have offended the lady. Since the general blames me, Bai Zhi has no complaints."

Pei Jingyi was indifferent and somewhat inhumane, and said sternly: "Treat him by military law."

Just a few simple words, but they sent a chill down the spine of everyone present.

Pei Jingyi has always been considerate of his subordinates and rarely says these words.

But Bai Zhi didn't even have the intention to resist, and just accepted it: "I will follow the general's arrangements."

The reason why Bai Zhi admitted her mistake so quickly was not because she realized her mistake, but because she didn't want to give Xie Shuyao the opportunity to make a fuss.

Seeing this scene now, people who don't know the reason will only think that she was punished because she offended Xie Shuyao.

Although she was the one who was beaten with a stick, people would feel more sympathy for her and hate Xie Shuyao.

Having lost the support of the people, Xie Shuyao would not be able to stay in the position of general's wife for long.

Qin Lang was not convinced and was the first to stand up and speak up for the injustice:

"General, Bai Zhi is our brother who has been through thick and thin with us. She is not a maid who can be ordered around by others. What did she do wrong? Why should she…"

Before Qin Lang could finish, Pei Jingyi asked sternly, "Do you want to be punished with her?"

Seeing that he was really angry, Qin Lang suddenly wilted, lowered his head and said nothing more, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.

Just when Bai Zhi thought that the matter was over, Pei Jingyi suddenly looked at Xie Shuyao and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Bai Zhi was stunned after hearing this, and her face suddenly became stiff. She didn't expect Pei Jingyi to ask Xie Shuyao for her opinion.

Xie Shuyao certainly would not miss this opportunity. She cleared her throat and raised her voice to make sure everyone present could hear her.

"I hope Miss Baizhi can put herself in the right place. She took the initiative to drive away my guests this time. Who knows what she will do next time? Don't do evil even if it's small. Everyone understands this principle."

This sentence undoubtedly revealed the truth that Bai Zhi had just been vague about.

There was a buzz of discussion around:

"What? She was the one who drove the guests away. Didn't the lady tell her to order her around?"

"I can't believe she's that kind of person."

Bai Zhi almost bit her back teeth when she heard the discussions around her. Xie Shuyao didn't even give her the last bit of dignity.

This bitch!

That night, Xie Shuyao wanted to discuss the future with Pei Jingyi, but after seeing Bai Zhi off, she saw Pei Jingyi changed his clothes and looked like he was getting ready to go out.

Xie Shuyao stared at him and sighed in her heart: What a busy man.

Pei Jingyi never liked being served by others. He was used to doing things like dressing and washing by himself, so his movements were very neat and tidy. Xie Shuyao had already witnessed this.

But this scene inexplicably reminded her of the day after they finished, when he was standing by the bed and getting dressed.

Seeing Xie Shuyao staring at him, Pei Jingyi didn't know that yellow bubbles had begun to appear in her head, and subconsciously explained: "I have to attend a social event tonight, and I will be back later."

After he finished speaking, Pei Jingyi realized that he seemed to be reporting. He was stunned for a moment and turned his eyes away uncomfortably.

Xie Shuyao didn't notice anything unusual about him and her focus was on something strange.

return?

Are you going back to her place? I think so, otherwise why would you say that?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Xie Shuyao's mind. She walked forward silently, and seeing Pei Jingyi adjusting his waist belt, she raised her hand to help him.

Pei Jingyi glanced at her, loosened his hand and let her go.

At least Pei Jingyi helped her deal with Bai Zhi today. Xie Shuyao felt that he performed well and could still be used.

After Xie Shuyao had tidied herself, she did not leave, but stood opposite him, with her palm facing upward, stroking his collar, her fingertips resting on the collar, gently caressing the skin on his neck.

Pei Jingyi noticed her little movement and raised his eyelids to look at her.

Just at this moment, Xie Shuyao raised her eyes and stared at him straight.

Their eyes met. Xie Shuyao's gaze was earnest, even a little coquettish, and she said in a brisk tone, "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
