The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

Chapter 55 I'm Here to Join You

Pei Jinzhi had just finished drinking the medicine and frowned.

Good medicine tastes bitter, and this medicine is even more bitter.

He looked at Li Jiu: "Have the medicines been delivered?"

Li Jiu nodded with a hum.

"It won't be peaceful tonight, add more manpower."

He had a strong premonition that since the assassination attempt in the street that day, and Baili Xi's early arrival at Fengshui, the danger was getting closer and closer.

Li Jiu whimpered twice again and looked at him pitifully.

Pei Jinzhi was both angry and amused:

"Alright, now that your punishment is resolved, go make the arrangements."

Li Jiu breathed a sigh of relief:

"I can finally speak. I was almost dying of suffocation."

He has been holding it in for two hours since he came back in the afternoon.

"I asked Xiaoshun to deliver the medicine. Master, Miss Sang has moved to a new house in Xinghefang."

"So soon." Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows. "His brother really knows how to enjoy life."

"Master, was that medicine really left by Miss Sang?"

Li Jiu always felt that something was wrong.

Pei Jinzhi's expression changed slightly:

"Well, Qinghe gave it to her. She didn't take it away."

"Oh, really?" Li Jiu stretched out the words.

"Really." Pei Jinzhi turned his back and didn't look at him.

Li Jiu lowered his head and smiled secretly, then bowed and retreated.

The servant knocked lightly on the door and bowed his head to report:

"My Lord, the Princess of Jianing County requests an audience."

"Please go to the flower hall."

After being cold to her for a few days, it came back again.

Pei Jinzhi changed into his outer robe and went to the flower hall alone.

As soon as the Princess Jianing saw him, she immediately went up to him and tried to shake his arm, but Pei Jinzhi slightly turned his body and avoided it perfectly.

Jianing's sweet smile froze: "Brother Jinzhi."

"County Lady, please sit down and have some tea."

The Princess of Jianing sat down awkwardly and smiled again:

"Brother Jinzhi, I heard that you haven't been feeling well these past few days. Are you feeling better today?"

When she heard that Foxy was sent out of the house, she was in a good mood.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Pei Jinzhi's brows were sullen and his tone was cold.

"Brother Jinzhi, why do you always call me the County Princess? You used to call me by my nickname Zhu'er."

The Princess of Jianing pouted, pretending to be cute:

"Could it be that you are still angry with me?"

"You didn't know the rules when you were a child. If you are still like this now, you will go backwards." Pei Jinzhi said with a cold face.

"Brother Jinzhi, you and I..." Jianing smiled shyly while pinching the handkerchief, "There's no need to be so distant."

Seeing Pei Jinzhi remained silent, she simply made it clearer:

"The Emperor and the Empress both like you, Brother Jinzhi, and you understand my feelings. When you enter the government, I will be your support."

"County Lady." Pei Jinzhi raised his eyes slightly, his gaze cold, "You'd better not focus on me and don't delay your own future."

"Brother Jinzhi, why do you always push me away? You clearly have me in your heart." Princess Jianing was puzzled.

Pei Jinzhi was a little confused:

"How do you know I have you in my heart?"

Say it out loud and he will change it.

Jianing pursed her lips and smiled, deciding that he was pretending to be aloof.

"If you didn't have me in your heart, how could you send that vixen away so quickly? Look, you still care about me."

Pei Jinzhi laughed: "County Lady, you almost killed someone in Zhaoyun Courtyard. If I didn't send him away, would I keep him for you to kill?"

"Impossible. The eldest lady said you did it for me." Jianing blushed and didn't believe it.

Pei Jinzhi sneered, the Kang family really spared no effort.

"She lied to you. I don't like you at all." Pei Jinzhi was very resolute. "A forced melon is not sweet. County Lady, please respect yourself."

"Pei Jinzhi, I don't believe it! We were childhood sweethearts, and you even saved me. How could you not have me in your heart?"

"I also saved the dog of my next-door neighbor. Could it be that I still have dogs in my heart?" Pei Jinzhi retorted.

The Princess of Jianing County was so frustrated that she almost died of anger:

"How dare you! How can I compare myself to a dog?"

"You are certainly not worthy of being compared with that dog. It is a famous dog from the Western Regions."

The Princess of Jianing was almost mad with rage:

"Pei Jinzhi, don't try to provoke me on purpose. The more you do this, the more it shows that you care about me and love me. Isn't that how you men are? The more you like someone, the more you like to make them angry."

As she spoke, she suddenly realized, immediately calmed down, and smiled again: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it! That's right, you do admire me."

She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had discovered a new world:

"I'm so stupid. It turns out you love me."

Pei Jinzhi held the teacup, petrified: "I really want to cut open your brain and see what's inside."

"Brother Jinzhi, you'd better open my heart. My heart is filled with you." Jianing smiled sweetly with a blush on her face.

On the roof, the tiles moved slightly.

Pei Jinzhi listened to the movement, his eyes were even colder: "I'll tell you a secret."

Jianing thought he was taking advantage of the situation to confess his feelings, and immediately pricked up her ears.

"Come here."

Pei Jinzhi waved at her with a devilish smile.

Jianing couldn't help but feel her heart pounding.

Pei Jinzhi blew into her ear:

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I like men."

Jianing took a step back, his face full of disbelief: "No, it's impossible. How could you be."

Outside, Li Jiu opened the door, holding a bowl of tea, pinching his throat and saying, "Master, you must be tired today. This is the ginseng soup I stewed specially for you. Drink it while it's hot."

Pei Jinzhi picked up the teacup and said, "You're being rude! Didn't you see I was talking to the county lady?"

Li Jiu held the wooden tray in her hand and snuggled up to Pei Jinzhi in an awkward manner: "The county lady is not someone else. She grew up with me since she was a child, so she naturally understands, right?"

Pei Jinzhi patted Li Jiu's butt and said, "Go away, don't show off."

The eight-foot-tall, bearded man whimpered and acted like a spoiled child, stamped his feet and left: "Master~~"

The Jianing County Lady turned pale and slumped down on the rosewood chair. "You, you guys... the rumors are actually true..."

She had often heard rumors over the years, but she never believed them.

Li Jiu is a rough man, how could he be worthy of Brother Jinzhi's attention?

It must have been Qiuyue and the other bitches who deliberately deceived her. She had never taken it to heart, but she never expected to see it with her own eyes...

Her eyes…Aaaaaaahhh!

Princess Jianing's heart was broken into rags, full of holes.

Pei Jinzhi drank the ginseng soup slowly and without even raising his eyelids:

"If you insist on marrying me, it's not impossible. But what happened today will appear before you every day in the future. Just be able to bear it."

"Brother Jinzhi, I am sincere. Can't you change for me?" Jianing gritted her teeth.

With tears in his eyes, Pei Jinzhi thought of Sang Wan.

He suddenly felt upset: "No."

The Princess of Jianing County was so sad that she became angry. She bit her lip, her eyes gradually became resentful, and she seemed to have made a decision.

Pei Jinzhi revealed her thoughts:

"Li Jiu is different from others. If you want to touch him, think about how many heads you have."

The Lady of Jianing County saw with her own eyes that Li Jiu beat Dong Xue to death with a stick that day. At this moment, her body trembled and she stopped thinking.

"Brother Jinzhi, I won't destroy you."

She swallowed, as if she had made a great decision, and looked at Pei Jinzhi affectionately: "I'm here to join you."

He choked on a mouthful of ginseng soup, but he forced himself to swallow it down, his eyes full of helplessness: "You go."

He was defeated and at a loss for words.

Princess Jianing looked back every few steps, reluctant to leave.

"Brother Jinzhi, thank you for telling me your secret. I will never tell anyone else."

"If you treat me sincerely, I will never let you down."

"Brother Jinzhi, I can really accept it."

Pei Jinzhi frowned and put down the teacup with a bang: "Show me away!"

Princess Jianing ran out of Zhaoyun Courtyard like a frightened rabbit.

There was a rustling sound on the roof.

A black shadow flew down and rolled on the ground.
