Chan Yi looked at him with tears in her eyes, and finally lost her temper. No matter what, it was their own fault. She didn't want to tell him everything, because she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would dislike her for always causing trouble.

In an emergency, the lower the profile, the better. She was even more afraid that if she went out by herself in the future, Pei Jin would send more people to follow her. How could she do things under their noses?

"Come on, tell me, who is it?" Pei Jin felt heartbroken when he saw her pitiful appearance.

His little concubine was always too weak and was bullied at every turn. He hated those who followed her as useless, but he also blamed himself for being negligent and sending all the secret guards to protect the royal siblings, which made her suffer.

Seeing him being so aggressive, Chan Yi had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "It was... it was my cousin. They... they came in without caring and wanted to pinch An'er's face when they saw her. I refused, so they hit me on the back with a green pomegranate. I was holding An'er at the time, and when the pomegranate hit me, I... I almost let go... An'er was about to fall to the ground."

Pei Jin was furious when he heard this. He said, "You Wang sisters! This time, I will not let them off easily."

"They are courting death! They even dare to touch my people." Pei Jin was furious. He was a hundred times more angry than when Dong Qing told him that these two people were going to drug Lu Jingqiu. He wished he could rush back to Zhuxiang Garden and slap them twice.

"My lord, I didn't let them be too arrogant. I took a stick and drove them out of the yard. If anyone dares to touch An'er, I will fight them to the death." Chan Yi said angrily.

"Chan Yi, it's my fault that I failed to protect you. Today's incident is my fault." Pei Jin grabbed Chan Yi's shoulders in annoyance and checked her injuries.

"My lord, Chan Yi is of a low position and cannot blame others for looking down on her. But An'er is, after all, the young master of the Marquis's Mansion." Chan Yi lowered her head and spoke softly, her voice beginning to choke.

"Chan Yi, back, back..." Pei Jin hugged her and was speechless. Yes, Chan Yi was right, she was just a maid, anyone with a little bit of status could easily step on her.

Especially in noble families, hierarchy is the most important. If a concubine like her angers her mistress, she would be beaten, killed, or sold for any reason.

He looked at her humble little face and felt even worse. This little girl had endured too much for him. He was sorry for her and An'er. He must make it up to them in the future.

"Master, I'm fine. It's not a serious injury. It's just that my skin is thin, so it looks a little scary." Chan Yi forced a smile and leaned in his arms and said softly.

"I'm sorry, Chanyi, it's my fault. From now on, I will expel those who bully you from the Marquis' Mansion one by one. After the wedding, I will make you my concubine. What do you think?" Pei Jin said in a hoarse voice, looking at Chanyi with a firm gaze.

"Chan Yi is already content in this life as you, the prince, are protecting her. Master, please go back soon. Madam might be looking for you." Chan Yi was speechless. Every time she was asked what was the point of raising her as a concubine? Who would care about her!

She felt that she had run out of words. Acting in a sad drama was too exhausting and not something that ordinary people could do. If she were to continue acting, she was afraid that she would become depressed. Fortunately, there were not many days like this left.

"I'll ask the little girl to go to the court doctor to get a blood-dissolving ointment. Fortunately, the wound hasn't broken the skin yet. I'll rub it for you." Pei Jin softened his tone and reached out to rub her shoulders.

"Master, here it is. It's the ointment you asked for from the palace last time. I was just about to ask Xiao Que'er to massage it on me, but who knew you would come back just after I took off my clothes." Chan Yi muttered.

"From now on, don't let them help massage me. Only I can do it." Pei Jin pressed her shoulders domineeringly and made her lie diagonally on his legs.

He was heartbroken. Chan Yi's skin was so tender. Even after giving birth to a baby, she was still as tender as a young girl, so delicate that it could be pinched to produce water. He couldn't bear to see her skin, so delicate that it could be squeezed to produce water, being kneaded by others, even if it was a woman.

"No..." Chan Yi shouted.

"What's wrong with that? I'm your husband!" Pei Jin patted her back gently.

"Put a pillowcase under you. I'm afraid the milk will be squeezed out..." Chan Yi said angrily. This man was really talking to himself. She was feeling bloated right now and it was really uncomfortable to press on his legs.

"It's okay." Pei Jin dragged the quilt over her legs and carefully helped her lie down slowly. "Is this better?"

"Hmm," Chan Yi replied softly, finding a comfortable position on his legs.

"Did you tell that girl Dongqing what she said?" Pei Jin picked out a piece of ointment, applied it on the wound, and massaged it slowly with his fingers.

"Well, I just happened to hear them talking under the pomegranate tree." Chan Yi answered honestly, "But they didn't know, otherwise they wouldn't let me go so easily."

The woman he liked was really kind-hearted. If it were someone else, they might even hope that his marriage would fail. Pei Jin's heart was filled with warmth.

"Chan Yi, I want to thank you on behalf of the eldest lady of Wuyang Marquis's Mansion. If it weren't for you, she might have made a fool of herself today." Pei Jin gently massaged the bruises on Chan Yi's shoulders and said softly, "She looks sensible. I think if she were to marry you, she would definitely treat you well."

"Prince, is your marriage settled? Chan Yi congratulates Prince." Chan Yi said while holding her breath, her shoulders were rubbed so hard by the man that they were burning.

It was so unlucky. Since Pei Jin came back, she had suffered so much and was beaten every now and then. She felt that she and he were destined to be in conflict. God, please bless me and An'er to leave this mansion smoothly. She really didn't want to stay there for a day.

Pei Jin heard a choke in her voice and thought that she must be unhappy, so he quickly picked her up from his legs.

"Chan Yi, are you unhappy?"

"How could that be? I am really happy, my Lord." Chan Yi rubbed her nose and said, "My Lord, it's time for you to get married, otherwise I will be afraid of those people."

"Chan Yi, do you really want me to get married?" Pei Jin looked at her steadily.

"Of course, the lady you choose must be the best, My Lord. I believe in your vision." Chan Yi climbed down from his legs and began to put on her clothes.

"Are you telling the truth?" Pei Jin grabbed her hand.

"It's the absolute truth." Chan Yi turned her head and smiled, pulling her hand out of his big hand. She kept muttering in her heart, this guy is really hypocritical, if I say I don't want you to get married, will you not get married?

Pei Jin just felt that he clearly heard what he wanted to hear, but he couldn't understand why he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
