Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it

From the prison, one could hear constant screams and occasionally the sound of rats gnawing on rotten flesh.

Cui Ci'an took off his shirt and half-knelt in front of the rack. There were bursts of wind breaking sounds behind him, and dozens of blood marks appeared on his back.

New wounds piled up on old ones, and countless scars stretched across his back. The thin lines between his shoulder blades and spine were smooth, and drops of blood were winding along them.

The eunuch with a shrill voice begged for mercy: "My lord, please don't blame me. This morning, at dawn, Duke Pei came to see Your Majesty to ask for an imperial decree. That night, a horrific tragedy occurred, involving the young masters of Duke Pei's mansion and the Xie mansion. Even if Your Majesty regarded you as a confidant, it would be difficult for him to cover up for you."

He spoke with a smile, and the strong and powerful guard who came to carry out the execution did not reduce the strength in his hands. The whip was soaked in salt water. With one whip, the flesh broke in the middle and blood seeped out like a needle.

Drops of blood dripped down the barbed whip, gathering into a pool of blood under his body.

After thirty lashes, the guard's hands were aching slightly from the shock. One could imagine how much strength he had used.

"The Inspector General of the Criminal Justice Department has received your Majesty's order to investigate the matter thoroughly within three days and not to treat Masters Pei and Xie unfairly."

Cui Ci'an half-knelt and turned to face the young eunuch who was smiling kindly. His lips were pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead to his collarbone. He trembled and swayed, and then tears rolled down his face.

"Your Majesty, take the order."

After the others left, Xingjiu quickly helped Cui Ci'an up, his expression indignant. "Bah! What confidant? You're clearly a major concern. Prince Rui wants you to make a big deal out of this, but His Majesty wants you to suppress it. It's like two great Buddhas fighting each other, and in the end, you're the one who suffers."

Cui Ci'an glanced at him coldly.

"Okay, I won't tell you. We're in prison now, so I'll definitely keep my mouth shut outside."

Xingjiu applied the medicine to his master as gently as possible, feeling the muscles under his hands were extremely tense. He felt pain just by looking at the little bit of medicine applied, but Cui Ci'an didn't even make a sound.

Only the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead revealed how serious the injury was and how painful it was.

Cui Ci'an was in so much pain that he was barely breathing. He whispered, "If Xiao Jiaojiao comes, remember to tell me."

"Yes." Xingjiu agreed, but he was still worried and warned: "Sir, you can't just act recklessly when pursuing a woman. If she doesn't like you, you should temporarily step back. If necessary, you can pretend, for example-"

Xingjiu's eyes swept from top to bottom over Cui Ci'an's exposed upper body. Even though his body was covered with whip marks, his well-defined waist and abdomen were the type of figure women loved the most.

"Your injuries."

..........................

In the Neisi Yamen, the lights in the two side-by-side rooms were on, but one of them was empty.

Pei Jing leaned forward, looking like a ferocious tiger about to attack someone in the next instant. His aura was terrifying. "Xie Shengzhi, I'm warning you one last time. Yaoyao is not someone you can covet."

If he had been willing to let go in time, perhaps the two of them would not have resorted to such unscrupulous means.

Xie Shengzhi kept his back straight. Even though he was in the judicial office and was being threatened, he did not show any sign of panic.

But that expression was not as gentle as the one he showed in front of Sui Yu.

"Yaoyao is already married to me and is my legitimate wife. What right do you have to shout at me here? And what right do you have to make decisions for Yaoyao?"

"She's not a child. She has her own desires and knows whether she wants them or not. She's not someone you can decide for yourself."

Without waiting for Pei Jing'e to answer, he spoke with a stinging tone, his palm resting on the edge of the table, veins bulging. "As her brother, you are unworthy of being Yao Yao's master. As her lover, you are even less legitimate than me. Pei Jing, how can a mere reckless man protect her?"

Just like this time.

The person behind him happened to want to use others as a raft, so Pei Jingxun found ways to get himself in.

Even if it is not what they want, the result is that Yaoyao will definitely worry about them.

How can such a reckless person bear such a heavy burden?

There was also the disappearance of Yaoyao when he was young. He couldn't even notice that something was wrong around him, and yet he wanted to snatch her away from him. What a reckless man.

Pei Jing choked and decisively avoided the topic. "Yaoyao and I grew up together. Tell me, if something happens to me, who will she side with between the two of us?"

The answer is beyond doubt.

Xie Shengzhi knew that this was an advantage that belonged only to Pei Jingxun.

But... so what?

He has already married Yaoyao, even though she is not in love with him now.

Divorce? Impossible, unless he dies.

"Don't dream of a long-lasting relationship. Even if we get married, we can still get divorced. As long as Yaoyao has me in her heart, you lose."

No one gained anything from the confrontation, and both of them were furious.

Pei Jing returned to the room, but his temper suddenly disappeared. The corners of his lips, which had been tightly pursed just now, suddenly curled up and he smiled.

"Yaoyao, why are you here? The Nei Si is cold and gloomy, don't scare you."

Sui Yu took out food from the food box on the table. The most eye-catching thing was a large plate full of jujube paste cakes, with osmanthus petals sprinkled in the middle of the blooming petals.

You can tell at first glance that it is made with great care.

"Your matter has been brought to the attention of His Majesty, so I naturally cannot hide it from Grandmother. I came here to comfort her."

Pei Jing didn't care what the reason was. He just looked at the pretty girl standing in front of him. Even if her eyes were full of anger, he could still smile.

"Isn't Yaoyao worried about her brother?" A pair of almond-shaped eyes drooped innocently. When she was not crazy, she was pure and innocent. But when she was crazy, the scarlet at the corners of her eyes and the crazy look made her cruelty even more prominent.

Sui Yu tilted her head to look at him, pursed her lips, and fixed Pei Jing's gaze on her. "If you continue to look like this, I'll leave."

Pei Ying, who was standing aside and being ignored, raised her expression and began to strain, "Brother, why do you only see your sister every time? I, such a beautiful sister, am standing in front of you. Are you blind?"

Clang—the other food box in Iris's hand hit the corner of the wooden table, making a slight sound.

Pei Jing's desire, which had just been growing wildly, was stopped. The corners of his lips curled up, and he put on the innocent look that Sui Yu liked the most.

But the smile that he had pretended to have on his face disappeared the next moment when he heard Sui Yu's words.

"I'll go see my husband." Sui Yu said this lightly, and walked to the next room without caring about Pei Jing'e's expression behind her.

Before I even stepped out of the door, I was embraced in an extremely warm embrace.

"Niesi is so bloody, Yaoyao shouldn't have come here?"

The warm breath burned Sui Yu's ears. Sui Yu looked up, and Xie Shengzhi happened to lean over to look at her expression, and their lips brushed against each other.

It was so light and subtle that it wasn't even a kiss.

But Xie Shengzhi's eyes were as bright as stars, suddenly lighting up, but there was a lust in his eyes that he tried hard to hide, which made people want to explore deeper when framed on this upright gentleman.

Sui Yu pursed her lips and tilted her head to answer his question, which was not really a question: "Grandmother asked me to come and see."

"Then... Yaoyao doesn't want to come see me?"

The man lowered his head slightly and spoke softly, as if he was afraid that Sui Yu would feel uncomfortable with such intimacy in public. After asking in a gentle voice, he stepped back a little.

Where Sui Yu couldn't see, the slightly raised corners of her eyes were full of provocation and show-off, and she looked straight at Pei Jing.

Sui Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt the man's powerful and accelerated heartbeat under his clothes. She pulled her hand out and said, "You're too hot."

It's so hot that it makes me uncomfortable.

Xie Shengzhi's calm expression suddenly became turbulent. During the wedding nights, Yaoyao didn't want to get pregnant. When he came out after they had sex, her soft complaints were the same as they were now.

Her voice, tinged with honey, was tinged with fatigue. She fell asleep in his arms, not even waking up to wipe her body...

As if unaware of the huge waves her short words had stirred in the man's heart, Sui Yu gestured to Iris to hand the food box in her hand to Cheng Ze.

"Now that the food has been delivered, Kankan and I will go back first. Grandmother is still waiting."

Sui Yu pushed the man in front of her. The touch against her palm was tight, like a fully drawn bowstring that was about to break in her hand.

As if she was just delivering a meal, Sui Yu returned home with Pei Ying.

He completely ignored the jealousy between the two men in the prison after she left.

Pei Jing was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, eating jujube paste cakes in an ungraceful manner, but his eyes were dark.

The slightest interaction between Yaoyao and that person would make him feel like a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart, and he would wish he could kill the person with a knife right away.

But no...

Secular etiquette could not constrain him. If Xie Shengzhi's death made Yaoyao feel even a little sad, Pei Jing...

Pei Jing couldn't do it.

..

At that time, Sui Yu and Pei Ying walked around several corridors and arrived at the gate of Neisi.

He met Cui Ci'an who was walking hurriedly.

Pei Ying still remembered the bloody scene from the night before and was somewhat afraid of this venomous snake that everyone hated.

Sui Yu protected her behind her, and Rourou bowed and saluted before walking towards the carriage.

"Lady Sui Liu, please stay."
