Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it
Chapter 15: The Cannon Fodder Lady: They All Want Her (15)
Shengjing Street.
It has been raining frequently since Qingming Festival, and there has only been a sunny day today.
The streets that had been washed by water before were filled with a cool green air. With the warm sunshine and gentle breeze on a sunny day, it was perfect for a stroll.
Street vendors also came out with the sun, and the Hu Ji Shaobing Shop in the east of the city was still lined with people as usual.
One by one, the steaming big pancakes fresh from the oven were delivered to various people. Chi Mo took the five big pancakes he had just bought with his hands tucked in, and looked at Xingjiu who had jumped on his horse and was running away.
How come I always run into people from the Cui Mansion? It's no wonder, though. Hu Ji's food is so good that even those self-proclaimed noble ladies often send people to buy it.
Hu Ji is an old shop that has been open in Shengjing for thirty years. He often came here to buy when he was a child. He would buy more than ten at a time. He would keep one for himself, and the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the sixth lady would each hold one and eat it.
Nowadays, everyone has their own things to do, some are getting married, some are going to work, so he had to buy five and eat three of them himself.
Chi Mo shook his head, rolled the pancake in oil paper again, put it in his bag, and walked back to find Pei Jingxun.
While he was daydreaming, he saw his second master sitting on the horse with a serious expression on his face. Chi Mo quickly squeezed back to his seat with the crowd.
Yirou sat on the left side of the carriage, lifted half of the curtain and looked at Pei Jing, who was sitting on the reddish-brown horse with an indifferent expression.
Originally, Sui Heng was supposed to follow the orders of his subordinates, but in the end, there was an extremely important reason - no one could speak the foreign language.
The minor official who worked with Yirou and was fluent in both languages just happened to be on sick leave.
After searching the entire Ying Dynasty court, it seemed that only Pei Jing, who had spent more than half a year on the border, knew something.
Pei Jing's face was cold and serious, as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.
The weather is just right today, perfect for taking Yaoyao out for a walk.
As a result, he was suddenly assigned such a task, which was within Uncle Sui's job scope. It was difficult to refuse, and his expression while riding on the horse could almost be described as dark as ink.
If anyone approaches without any tact at this moment, he will definitely be scolded.
Chi Mo took a look and felt that his young master's expression was as if he wanted to run away. He secretly handed the sesame cake in his bag to Pei Jing, who took it and put it in the embroidered bag on the horse's back that was used to store food.
"Master Pei, do you have something important to do today?" Yi Rou's voice interrupted.
Pei Jing's eyes didn't move at all, and the corners of his eyes slowly drooped, like a long-haired lion that had fallen into the water. "Yes, Princess, if you have any curiosity about Shengjing, please tell me as soon as possible."
Every word he said sounded quite polite, but... the man on the horse's intention to leave was so obvious that it was almost written on Yirou's face.
He was almost telling her that he was leaving.
But in a flash, Yirou saw that the expression on that face suddenly changed. The curve at the end of the eye became happy, the eyes suddenly lit up, and he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and ran towards the street ahead.
Yirou leaned against the window and saw the carriage in front of her, engraved with the seal of the Xie Mansion, slowly stop, revealing the jade-like face.
It was just hidden by the veil, so one could only clearly see the rosy lips opening and closing, spreading a pool of spring beauty.
She remembered this person, Sui Yu, who danced enchantingly on the altar, so beautiful that she was completely convinced.
Xie Shengzhi is her husband and Pei Jingxun is her brother.
It seems that all the beautiful things in the world should be placed in front of her, and she will never feel sorry even if they are discarded by her.
Just because... being noticed by her is already a blessing.
..
When Sui Yu was held in the man's arms and was rolling around with his lips kissed very gently, the curtain of the carriage was almost lifted up. She was so frightened that she hid in the arms of the man who was holding her with tears in her eyes.
If someone were to suddenly see her, her scandals would spread all over Shengjing tomorrow, and might even be published in storybooks.
Then she really doesn't need to live anymore.
Xie Shengzhi's second finger bone was stretched white as he pressed it under the car curtain and closed the inward-facing window. There was an extremely crisp sound of wood knocking against each other, which made Pei Jing, who was lifting the curtain outside the door, dazed.
Most men go out on horseback. Although he doesn't want to admit it, it is undeniable that he knows Xie Shengzhi very well, and it is impossible for him to go out in a carriage.
Old Madam Xie lives in seclusion and rarely steps out of the Xie Mansion except to worship Buddha.
Therefore, the person sitting in this carriage can only be Yaoyao.
Not to mention that Pei Jing had excellent eyesight and immediately saw Iris following behind the carriage, with Cheng Ze leading the horse.
"Yaoyao? It's me." Pei Jing knocked on the outside of the carriage with his fingers. His movements were slow and obscure, and he already had some guesses in his mind.
After several breaths, when Pei Jing saw Sui Yu wearing a veiled hat, his closed eyes met Xie Shengzhi in the carriage.
The corners of his lips were bitten, and Xie Shengzhi's smile was full of satisfaction and provocation.
Sui Yu adjusted her veil and looked up at Pei Jing, "Brother, aren't you accompanying Princess Yirou on an outing today?"
Why did you come to see her?
Pei Jingxie could understand the meaning even without asking the question.
"What? Yaoyao doesn't want to see her brother?" Pei Jing's pupils were very dark. When he was angry, his anger settled, and they were like black jade that could absorb all the light.
It makes people feel inexplicably scared.
On the battlefield, many people would be frightened into surrendering and losing before the battle when they saw the murderous look in his eyes.
But in the bustling and noisy streets of Shengjing, Xie Shengzhi, who was glaring at him by the man he had distracted, simply raised his eyebrows.
He even tried to be very "caring" and courteous to Sui Yu, "Brother... Yaoyao didn't mean that. Why did you misunderstand her like that?"
Sui Yu stopped calling Pei Jingxue "brother" ever since he forced her to kiss him. Just calling him that would remind her of the powerlessness she felt when she was shackled that day.
Listening to Xie Shengzhi's deliberate address to him, Pei Jing felt as if his heart was blocked by a lump of mud.
It stuck to his beating heart bit by bit, grew bigger with its beating, and finally suffocated him to the point where he couldn't even breathe.
Xie Shengzhi is her husband, and she can call him "brother" along with any other titles.
It seems like he is just a brother.
All the relationships between them will be encompassed by this one name, and this name will also firmly block any possibility.
Even when he sent someone to invite Sui Yu back to Pei Mansion for a small gathering a few days ago, Xie Shengzhi took Sui Yu away before he left the court.
I wasn't angry because of his negligence, or even because of him as a person, I just didn't want to be involved with him anymore.
Pei Jingxue suddenly smiled, and his whole face changed from gloomy to bright and clear, just like the beautiful weather today.
"Zidan, you must be joking. How could I have misunderstood Yaoyao? I was just joking. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"
"Today I am taking Princess Yirou to travel around Shengjing. Why not have Yaoyao come too? She can be a good companion." Pei Jing's voice suddenly widened as he proposed to Sui Yu loudly.
"Isn't Yaoyao very curious about Princess Yirou?"
At the banquet, Sui Yu looked at Yi Rou, but his eyes were following Sui Yu.
Naturally, he would not miss the bright light in the girl's eyes when she looked at Yirou dancing.
If she likes it, then just go and get in touch with her.
If Yirou is not a good person, we can find a reason to deal with her when the time comes.
It doesn't matter.
Other things won’t be a problem either!
When Sui Yu heard this, she leaned out the window and looked forward, and her eyes met Yi Rou's.
After just a moment of stunned silence, Sui Yu laughed.
She saw something familiar in Yirou's eyes - obsession.
The heroine is obsessed with herself, a cannon fodder who is about to die?
interesting.
"Okay, then could you introduce someone to me, brother?" The blush at the corners of Sui Yu's eyes seemed to indicate that she was very excited, bringing out a charming charm.
The anger that was stuck in Pei Jing'e's heart was completely dissipated by this sentence.
He raised his hand and called Chi Mo over, "Go to Fanlou and reserve a private room. Order a song of 'The Lock of Hair'."
"The Peony Pavilion" is Sui Yu's favorite play. She always orders it every time she goes back.
Yirou's carriage stopped near Sui Yu. She got out of the carriage without wearing a veil, looking quite heroic.
After getting off the carriage, Sui Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, causing Xie Shengzhi to hold her hand a little tighter. He looked at Yi Rou with a cold expression, and one could even vaguely sense some annoyance.
Sui Yu looked up, but her expression was unclear through a veil.
"Princess Yirou is truly a heroine. During the sacrificial ceremony, her feet were as white as jade, and she spun around to show her affection. I have long admired her."
He paused at the end of his words, then raised his voice slightly, "It's true... hearing about it is worse than meeting it in person."
I couldn't understand the words, but I could still understand the tone.
It's faintly prickly, yet strangely...contains a slight tremor.
It was as if he didn't want to say such insulting words, but was forced to speak.
Pei Jing frowned and walked over to Sui Yu. "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
Why is it so strange?
She even said something sarcastic that she would never say in normal times.
At that moment, Pei Jing felt that Sui Yu was not Sui Yu, as if, as if... she was controlled by something.
Everyone who is close to Sui Yu knows her personality. She likes to be lazy on weekdays. Not to mention those subtle and sharp words that require a lot of effort. If she is upset, a slap in the face would be considered diligent.
Usually it was done by Pei Jingxie or Iris beside her.
How could such a quiet and weak person say such words?
