Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it
Chapter 4: The Cannon Fodder Lady: They All Want Her (4)
Half a month before the ancestor worship in Ying Dynasty, a blessing lantern festival would be held at night. A stream of river lanterns would flow down along the gurgling water, illuminating the entire moat with brilliant light.
There were indeed a lot of people, crowded together on the river bank. Lanterns from the tall buildings were hung all over the walls. The lights were as bright as day, blending with the moonlight to illuminate Shengjing.
"Sir, it's very lively up ahead. I went to check it out today, and there will be a circus performance. Madam will definitely like it." Cheng Ze was driving in the front, his feet dangling outside the wheel tracks.
"If you ask me, you're just too much of a gentleman. Madam hasn't even expressed her opinion yet, yet you let her ride with Madam Pei. I don't think our seemingly magnanimous Second Brother Pei is a good person. Who knows what he might be thinking of our Madam."
Xie Shengzhi sat upright in the carriage. Even though the carriage occasionally swayed, his back remained straight, looking elegant and otherworldly in the bleak wind and snow.
"Do you still remember the art of weighing pros and cons that I taught you?" Even the voice was filled with the warmth that came from Yuqin.
Cheng Ze controlled the carriage so that it did not stray too far from Pei Mansion's carriage. Upon hearing this, he leaned over and leaned to the carriage curtain to listen. "Remember, sir, is there any deep meaning?"
"If you push too hard, you'll feel constrained. It's better to soak it in bit by bit, slowly, just like practicing calligraphy. Three thousand pages a day isn't enough, but six thousand pages in ten days is manageable."
Knowing that Cheng Ze's brain wasn't that bright, Xie Shengzhi tried his best to use words that Cheng Ze could understand.
"Wow, human hearts are treacherous, sir. You are so smart." Cheng Ze thought about it for a while before he barely understood it, especially when it was compared with calligraphy practice, which he hated the most. It became very clear to him. Not only did he feel amazed, but he also remembered it firmly in his mind.
"Power and achievement are like a battlefield. People have never been judged by their moral character or integrity. The same is true for the relationship between husband and wife."
As long as I can get what I want, I will give in temporarily, starting with her guilt, little by little, until she feels that she cannot live without me.
She didn't ask for a deep love for him, as long as it grew stronger day by day, Xie Shengzhi would be satisfied.
Xie Shengzhi's voice reached Cheng Ze's ears through the carriage, as if he was trapped in a cage, and once the cage door was opened, the beast would bite him.
As they were talking, they arrived at Zhengyangmen Street in the east of the city.
Xie Shengzhi lifted the bamboo curtain of the carriage and got out, looking graceful in his light green gown.
It was near Qingming Festival, and although it had not rained yet, the wind was blowing frequently, sweeping across the streets of Shengjing, making clothes flutter, and wrapped in the cold but very pervasive fragrance of bamboo ink, tightly wrapping up Sui Yu.
Through a thin layer of clothes, Sui Yu could feel the taut and smooth figure hidden in the brocade robe with just a raise of her hand.
On the bed, this man would also use these tricks to make her beg for mercy.
Xie Shengzhi watched the earlobe within his pupil turn from jade white to pink, and chuckled softly. He leaned closer, letting his hot breath stain the pearls even darker. "Yaoyao, what did you think of?"
I was just putting on a cloak, and I just accidentally touched his body, but why did the tip of my ear feel like it was almost burned off?
"I didn't think anything." Sui Yu quickly looked away and wanted to withdraw her hand from under her cloak, but was held gently yet forcefully without leaving any room for retreat.
His eyes darkened, and Xie Shengzhi's Adam's apple rolled violently, but his face remained calm. "It's cold at night, and it might be hot after getting off the carriage, but you should put on a cloak, otherwise you might catch a cold."
In the carriage not far away, Pei Jingxue finally followed.
But it would be better not to come, it's so annoying.
Pei Jing's eyes were scarlet as he stared at the two people's clasped hands like a jackal, wishing he could bite off the annoying claw and tear it into pieces to feed the dog.
With their fingers intertwined and being caressed and touched skillfully by a pair of hands with a slightly darker complexion, it is not difficult to imagine how they would enjoy the precious touch even more if there were no outsiders around.
Maybe she would be entangled with marks, and then kiss away the overflowing tears. In the ups and downs, she would only cling to him tightly. If she got angry, she might even tickle him a few times...
But - that is not something Pei Jingxie can control now.
His identity was merely Sui Yu's brother, and he was just a bystander watching their love.
Pei Jing's finger bones, which had turned white to the point of being completely bloodless, were pressed against the axle of the wheel.
He lifted the curtain and got out of the car, staring at the real fairy couple in front of him like a masochist. Occasionally, one or two passers-by smiled knowingly and secretly blessed this extremely well-matched couple.
Since the founding of the Ying Dynasty by Emperor Yuanzong, there have been fewer restrictions on women.
The atmosphere is more open-minded, and such ordinary and ordinary greetings and concerns are blessed by everyone.
Not to mention that the lotus lanterns are in full bloom along the entire river, shining brightly like the warm sunshine. This is an excellent opportunity for the couple to cultivate their relationship.
As the smoke of gunpowder filled the air silently, a loud shouting came from the street corner.
"The magistrate is investigating a case. Get out of the way immediately."
The majestic shouts coming from far away frightened everyone, and made the behavior of the man in coarse cloth who was being chased seem even more strange.
In addition, it was obvious that the expressions of several people among the people were not right. While other ordinary people were panicked and confused, they were looking around.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the man in rough clothes waved the knife in his hand wildly, and the sharp blade injured several civilians who were close to him, and the closest one was aimed at the crying child.
Pei Jing's eyes became fierce, and he casually pulled out the hairpin and threw it at the knife.
There was a clear buzzing sound as the lily-blossoming hairpin collided with the iron, and then it broke into two pieces.
"Protect Yaoyao and the others."
After leaving these words to Pei Jingxuan, Pei Jingxuan flew up and stepped on the lamp hanging to gain leverage, took the knife thrown by Chi Mo, turned around and kicked away another thief who pulled out a knife from under the table to chop people.
Sure enough, there are allies.
This was definitely a premeditated riot.
What is the purpose of disrupting the crowded prayer lantern festival?
The man in coarse cloth was struck by the jade hairpin, and his hand softened for a moment, but he did not lose his strength. He hacked away with a gesture of death. "There is no justice in this world. The powerful and wealthy bully my wife and children and kill my mother. All of you will be buried with me."
The people around were unable to dodge in time, and the order was in chaos, which scattered the yamen runners who were chasing closely behind. For a moment, they didn't know whether to catch the thieves first or protect the people first.
"Bring the thief to justice first."
"Kill them all."
Two orders came out one after the other. The former came from Pei Jingxie, and the latter...
The man in black clothes pointed his toes, used the horse's back as leverage, and chopped off the head of the man who had just climbed up and was about to continue chopping people.
Blood splattered, leaving traces of blood on everyone who was fleeing in panic, and the smell of blood spread out instantly.
Xie Shengzhi suddenly frowned and took a few steps to block Sui Yu and the others' view.
Frightened by this, the people who had been fleeing in panic stopped running around. Instead, they gathered into groups of two or three, and were protected by the yamen runners, and withdrew from the melee.
Without any restraints and with orders, he quickly took control of the situation with a flick of his sword.
Just the smell of blood filled the entire street.
Pei Jing parried the bailiff's sword and looked at the black-robed man coldly, "Cui Ci'an, you are so arrogant. You killed people in the bustling city of Shengjing without even giving them a trial?"
Cui Ci'an, who did not respond when questioned, threw the knife back and put it back into the scabbard steadily.
He raised his gloomy, narrow eyes and glanced at Pei Jing lightly. His expression was cold and stiff, and a few drops of blood splashed on his face. "You are causing trouble in the street, resisting arrest, and injuring people without reason. The Criminal Justice Department had no choice but to do so in order to handle the case. I hope that Master Pei will forgive you."
Pei Jing sneered, "You killed the first person, I think I did it to control the situation, but later on, did Lord Cui really have no choice?"
"It's true that I have no choice." His tone was flat without any fluctuations, and he looked at Pei Jing grimly, like a poisonous snake that would suddenly attack and bite someone in the next moment.
Pei Jing, who was naturally fiery-tempered, raised his chin slightly upon hearing this. "Lord Cui is eloquent, so why not go before His Majesty and explain why you were forced to do so?"
He smiled sarcastically, "I wonder if Prince Rui will protect you when the time comes."
"There is no need for Mr. Pei to worry about this." Cui Ci'an's thin lips moved slightly.
The pollen-sized, inky black teardrop mole under his eyelid began to move, adding a touch of eerie feeling. "But you, Second Young Master, are probably in trouble."
