Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it
Chapter 5: The Cannon Fodder Lady: They All Want Her (5)
"The Criminal Division is under orders to handle a case. How come Second Master Pei rushed out for no reason and interfered with the work?"
"Lord Cui, are you trying to turn the tables?" Pei Jing gave him a cold look, not intimidated at all.
Even if things really get out of hand, no one knows who will be severely punished.
Cui Ci'an sneered and stared at Pei Jingxie with a gloomy look, as if he would not stop until he bit off a piece of his flesh.
Seeing the arrows being thrown back and forth several times, Pei Jingxuan would certainly not watch Cui Ci'an and Pei Jingxun fight in the street.
If this is true, then the one who will be offended will probably be King Rui.
Although the Pei family is not afraid, the murder scene on the street still needs to be dealt with, and how to deal with this matter is the top priority.
He asked Chi Mo and the others to protect Sui Yu and the others, and Pei Jingxuan stepped forward to mediate.
【The third male protagonist Cui Ci'an appears.】
The electronic sound that had been silent for less than a day reappeared, but it was not as cold and inorganic as before. It was just a reminder without any requirements.
Sui Yu lowered her eyes, and her long, thick eyelashes moved downward, casting a silhouette under the bright light.
"Husband."
"Hmm?" Xie Shengzhi came back to his senses and turned his attention back to Sui Yu.
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Sui Yu's eyes are clear, and when she looks at someone intently, it often makes people feel that they are cared about.
Xie Shengzhi dodged in a panic, his ears reddening silently, "Yes, I want to go and see."
Xie Shengzhi has always been extremely honest with Sui Yu.
"We still don't know which faction is responsible for this farce, but Cui Ci'an is backed by Prince Rui. If my brother and the others start a dispute on the street, Duke Pei's mansion will likely be dragged into the unprovoked dispute."
Pei Ying didn't understand, but it sounded serious. She pulled her sister-in-law aside and asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Sui Yu folded her hands and smiled at him, "Husband, you have a way, right?"
"Although the eldest princess married the old Duke Pei, the Duke Pei's Mansion has always been neutral in the court and has not been involved in the struggle for imperial power. However, my father was the Grand Tutor of three dynasties, and behind the Xie family is the Emperor."
In short, although the Peiguo Mansion is close to the imperial power, it is not biased towards anyone in the royal family and only does things to be loyal to the court, at least on the surface.
The Xie family is different. They absolutely favor the emperor and stand on the side of the prince.
The current emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, and the situation is still unstable.
As the younger brother of the current emperor, Prince Rui was favored by the late emperor. Even after the current emperor ascended the throne, some old ministers still felt that Prince Rui should have been the best candidate to succeed him.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that there will be a surge of movement in Shengjing.
Xie Shengzhi couldn't help wanting to look into Sui Yu's eyes. His eyelids trembled, revealing a bit of his youthful thoughts. "Yaoyao, I can help you."
These words were truly despicable, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was repaying a favor. This was also the first time he had revealed his dishonest side to Sui Yu, except on the bed, but...
He wanted Yaoyao to remember him more.
Even if it's just gratitude, as long as he doesn't completely indifferent, he's fine with it.
There is no need to be so calculating between husband and wife. Matters of the heart can be cultivated. He has the patience and confidence to do so.
Thinking of a scene I had seen before during a spring outing, the tender white feet were firmly shackled in the wheat-colored palms, unable to escape, which made people's blood boil and even more jealous.
Xie Shengzhi looked at Pei Jingshen in front of him dimly, mocking him in his heart. He would never let Pei Jingshen take Yaoyao away.
He is just a reckless man.
Just knowing a little about love, he wants to flirt with Yaoyao. How can he win the heart of a beautiful woman if he is so rude and reckless?
……
"We will act according to the rules. Please don't make things difficult for us, Master Pei." Xingjiu, who was also dressed in black, spoke on behalf of his master and smiled at Pei Jing and the others.
No matter what they say, we have to follow the rules and do it only when necessary.
But it was a foregone conclusion that Second Master Pei would rush out and disrupt the work.
Anyway, he was determined to drag the Pei family into the water.
Even if Pei Jingxuan had all the skills of talking, he could not match his opponent's shamelessness.
"The blessing lantern festival is a big mess, so it's better to deal with the scene as soon as possible. If too many people are involved, it will definitely cause additional trouble."
Xie Shengzhi strode forward, his ears a little red, his eyes seemed to be filled with spring water, he was dignified and self-possessed, and saluted Cui Ci'an as a colleague.
Cui Ci'an gave a mocking laugh but did not return his greeting. He sat on his horse and looked down, "Why is there another Second Young Master? I don't know why I am so unlucky today."
His hostility towards Xie Shengzhi seemed even deeper, and it was obvious to everyone present.
"Your Excellency, please don't say that. Second Young Master Xie and Second Young Master Pei are both treasured treasures of their families. We can't compare to them. If we sue you, we will definitely have to eat a meal in vain."
Xingjiu quickly acted flattering and passed on a message to Cui Ci'an.
Xie Shengzhi ignored Xingjiu's malicious teasing and had a very good temper. The bright moonlight fell on him, making him look even more gentle and moist. "If I were to work, I wouldn't be considered a young master. I'm just an official of the court, helping the people and working for the court."
After a soft rejection, Cui Ci'an's lips curved slightly in a mocking tone, "You're quite right. Swords and knives were blazing in the streets just now, but why didn't Mr. Xie... come out to 'relieve my worries'?"
"Please forgive me, sir. My husband was just trying to protect us." A soft and sweet voice like the sound of a falling spring came, which made Cui Ci'an freeze for a moment.
The drooping thick eyelashes suddenly lifted up, and the deep and fierce eyes were fixed on Sui Yu. The corners of the lips unconsciously curled up, full of predatory meaning.
Xie Shengzhi's eyebrows twitched, and he stood in the middle of Cui Ci'an's sight, and met his gaze coldly.
Sui Yu walked behind her sister-in-law Yan, Pei Ying held her arm, and all three of them wore veils.
In such a situation, it is better for women to stay away.
Yan had something in mind. As one of the older people in the group, she took the initiative to bow to Cui Ci.
Striving to strike a perfect balance between being polite and assertive, she said calmly, "My sister is right. With the family accompanying us, I've made things so restrictive for my husband and the others. I'm guilty of that."
"We had originally planned to go out for a family stroll at the Lantern Festival to pray for blessings, but we never expected something like this to happen. My brother had just returned from suppressing bandits, and when he saw this bloody scene of wounding people, he impulsively stepped forward to stop it. It was really wrong."
What he meant was that he was waiting for more civilians to be hacked to death or injured, and then he would stand by and watch as you, the officials of the judicial department, killed them one by one.
A family came out to pray for blessings and visit the Lantern Festival. When they saw an injustice and stepped forward to help, they were accused of obstructing the work. Such a small matter was magnified so much, and the hero who had just suppressed the bandits was dragged into the water. Cui Ci'an used such shady means that he really deserved the name of a poisonous snake in the prison.
The words were not said explicitly, but the implication was very obvious.
Pei Jingxuan walked up to his wife and lowered his head to hide the smile on his lips so as not to appear too proud.
There are some things they cannot say, but the female members of the family can say them. After all, a woman's misconduct is "tacitly acknowledged", and she does not hold any official position, so no one can say how your wife has stabbed others.
Cui Ci'an pulled the reins, and his slender fingertips could not be hidden by his inky black gloves. His throat was dry, so he dismounted and walked towards Sui Yu and the others.
I didn't notice it when I was on the horse just now, but as soon as I got off the horse, the height of the person coming became apparent.
The black robe was embroidered with cloud patterns, and the waist was pinched to be extremely thin by the black belt, but she did not look thin, but instead looked intimidating for no reason.
This is because he is surrounded by a dark, tangible evil spirit and an unrestrained madness.
At a time when many people were wearing light-colored clothes, it looked even more terrifying.
Just like now——
Xie Shengzhi blocked his way, so he took advantage of the situation and made a detour, blocking several attacks with his side, and stopped not far from Sui Yu.
"Why did Miss Sui Liu come out?" The voice was soft and a little scary. It felt dangerous and awkward when it was held in the mouth of a poisonous snake.
Sui Yu's biological father, Sui Hengting, was the third child in the family. His two older brothers both had daughters, so Sui Yu was the sixth daughter.
Pei Jing took two steps forward and stood in front of Sui Yu. "Cui Ci'an, what are you doing crazy again?"
As everyone knows, this censor is not only ruthless but also has some mental problems.
I don't know when I will have to go to the prison and give the prisoners a thorough trial.
But he is very capable in doing things. No matter how tight-lipped the prisoner is, he will be forced to confess after being in his hands.
Cui Ci'an glanced at him coldly and said sarcastically, "You are the one who is crazy, your whole family is crazy."
Sui Yu: ...
When Sui Yu looked at him like that, Cui Ci'an blinked twice and realized a little slowly that what he had just said seemed to have included Xiao Jiaojiao.
"You are the only one who is crazy." Cui Ci'an changed his words again and looked unkindly at Xie Shengzhi who was standing in front of Sui Yu again.
This bunch of second young masters is really annoying!
Xingjiu, who was in charge of finding out about Sui Liuniang, felt his back tighten and stiffly handed a handkerchief to his master to wipe the blood off his face.
Xingjiu pursed his lips tightly and dared not move. Recently, King Rui was going to make a big move, and he was so busy that he couldn't find the rudder. Unexpectedly, he forgot about this matter.
Knowing that the master values and cares about Lady Sui Liu, Xingjiu no longer dares to be so arrogant, for fear of damaging the image of his master again.
He also knew that Cui Ci'an knew nothing about other things besides handling cases and punishments, so he tugged at his sleeve through his clothes.
Cui Ci'an's burning gaze finally moved away from Sui Yu and looked at Xing Jiu.
Thinking of something, Cui Ci'an finally took two steps back and stopped staring at the person.
