Chapter 93 You smell like me
Her screams attracted the night patrol guards and alarmed Zhaoyun Courtyard.
Pei Jinzhi almost rushed over, his clothes still stained with blood.
Li Jiu: "My Lord! Ji Feng has bitten someone!"
Sang Wan was thankful that she had held her breath and not inhaled the drug. Still in shock, she clutched Pei Jinzhi's clothes tightly and pointed at the shadowy figure: "He tried to push me into the lotus pond."
In the light of several torches, Li Jiu tore off the black cloth on the man's face. He was a servant from the outer courtyard.
"Tell the truth, why did you try to murder Grandma?!"
Li Jiu held his chest and asked viciously.
"I was just passing by. It was dark and I couldn't tell the direction. I bumped into Grandma. How can you say it was murder?"
Li Jiu slapped him twice:
"Bullshit! Do you think I'm blind? Why are you wearing a mask in the dark? If you're not doing anything bad, why are you afraid of seeing people? I think you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Pei Jinzhi covered Sang Wan's eyes:
"Don't look. I'll take you back."
"Wait, it was the dog that saved me." Sang Wan held his hand, "Give it some meat."
Pei Jinzhi raised his lips and said, "It's called Jifeng, it's a wolf."
Sang Wan was very surprised: "Is there really a wolf in the garden?"
"Of course." Pei Jinzhi raised his hand, and Ji Feng opened his mouth, ran to his side, rubbed his palm, very affectionately.
"Did you raise it?" Sang Wan squatted down and reached out his hand tremblingly to touch it, but he didn't dare.
Oh my god, it’s a wolf.
In the past, when she was in the mountains, she was always chased by wolves.
"Come, touch it and try it."
Pei Jinzhi held her hand and gently stroked Jifeng's head. Jifeng lay down obediently and let her stroke him.
It recognizes its master and also Sang Wan.
"Why did it recognize me?" Sang Wan was very curious.
"Because you smell like me."
Pei Jinzhi whispered in her ear.
The heat made her ears red. These words were strange and sounded inexplicably ambiguous.
But Sang Wan remembered the blood and suddenly realized.
"Yes, the smell of blood won't dissipate for a while, that's for sure."
Pei Jinzhi didn't take it seriously and squatted down with her.
The two men and the wolf were chatting on the side, while beside them, Li Jiu was interrogating the prisoner with the sound of slapping slaps.
The scene is quite interesting.
*
Chunhui Hall is brightly lit.
Yu Que followed Pei Jinzhi and Sang Wan to identify the maid.
She quickly found the girl holding the lantern among the group of maids. The girl was so scared that her legs and feet went weak and she fell to her knees with a thud.
"Madam, please spare my life! I am just following your orders."
Mrs. Pei slammed the table:
"Obey orders? Whose orders are you obeying? You belong to my Chunhui Hall. You use my name to harm others, and you dare ask me to spare your life? Even if the Buddha comes, he cannot forgive your crimes. Tell me, who ordered you to do this!"
"Yes...it's Qian Lu." The maid confessed directly.
Li Jiu brought in the servant who had pushed Sang Wan into the lotus pond. The servant immediately knelt down:
"Madam, it was Qian Lu. Qian Lu ordered me to do this."
Pei Jinzhi raised his hand, and Xiaoshun brought up Qian Lu, who was tied up.
"Madam, Young Master, when I went there, he was packing up his belongings and preparing to flee."
"Qian Lu, why did you want to murder Miss Sang?"
Only then did Sang Wan recognize that Qian Lu was the servant who had had an affair in the garden that night.
So that's why he wanted to kill her.
No, even if the servant and the maid were caught having an affair, they would just be expelled from the house. Would they be silenced?
Seeing that the plan had failed, Qian Lu stiffened his neck and said:
"This Sang Wan is nothing but a bastard born to a prostitute. Why does she deserve to be the wife of the prince of the Pei Mansion? I just think she has polluted the prince's courtyard and I can't stand her. Prince, you will inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo in the future. How can she be qualified to be the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo? She..."
Pei Jinzhi's face darkened and he covered Sang Wan's ears: "Li Jiu, slap her."
"Even if you kill me, I will still tell you! She is a bastard, she doesn't deserve it! She... wuwu..."
Qian Lu's mouth was blocked, and the huge Chunhui Hall was extremely quiet except for the sound of slapping.
Everyone's eyes seemed to shift to Sang Wan.
She was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Pei Jinzhi picked her up horizontally and strode out of the flower hall without even saying hello.
Mrs. Pei raised her hand behind him, then sighed and put it down.
Mother Sun whispered something in her ear, and the old lady's face became even gloomier.
He stomped his dragon-headed cane and twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand even faster. "Nonsense! How can you enter the ancestral hall as a clan wife? Go and call Kang to come see me."
*
The bluestone road is very long, the moonlight shines brightly, and the bamboo forests on both sides rustle in the wind.
Pei Jinzhi held her and walked forward step by step without any fatigue.
Sang Wan thought to herself, this guy doesn't look like a sickly person at all, he's even stronger than her.
Several maids followed behind him at a distance, holding lanterns.
"Master, you can let me down now." Sang Wan buried his head, his face flushed.
"No, if I don't hold you, I'm afraid you will run away." Pei Jinzhi said seriously.
Sang Wan lowered his head and laughed at himself: "He is not wrong."
Many people have scolded her like this since she was a child, and she has long been accustomed to it.
But when Qian Lu suddenly reminded her of this today, she felt a little sorry for Pei Jinzhi.
"I'm sorry for embarrassing you by following me. I think it's best that we get divorced as soon as possible."
Pei Jinzhi's body stiffened and he put her down.
"Sang Wan, when did I ever say you embarrassed me?"
His dark eyes were filled with anger, and Sang Wan looked a little scared:
"You didn't say it, I just thought so myself."
"Strong people look up to them, while weak people only care about what others think. Never underestimate yourself again."
"Okay." Sang Wan hid her thoughts and smiled at him, "Then please teach me how to become stronger, my lord."
"You don't need to listen to these gossips while I'm here. From now on, if anyone behaves like this again, I will pull out their tongue and gag them."
Her smile slightly reduced Pei Jinzhi's anger.
"The world is so vast, and with so many people gossiping, how can one stop it? Wouldn't the prince be busy pulling out his tongue day and night?"
Sang Wan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly, casting a shadow under her eyes, making her face look even brighter like the bright moon.
Her teasing sounded like she was acting coquettishly, and Pei Jinzhi's heart softened into a clear pool.
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
"I think we should just leave it alone. Eat what we should eat, drink what we should drink, and don't take anything to heart."
As Sang Wan spoke, she stood on tiptoe, like a chirping bird, and amused herself.
Pei Jinzhi looked at her heartless look and completely let go of the heavy stone in his heart.
He couldn't help but reach out and scratch Sang Wan's nose, his voice full of pampering: "That's absolutely right. Are you hungry?"
"How do you know I'm hungry?" Sang Wan opened his eyes wide.
"You were a thief last night and you're making medicine today. I see you haven't eaten much, so you must be hungry. Tell me, what do you want to eat? The moon in the sky, or the mud on the ground? As long as you want it, I'll find it for you."
"You really are such a fool! Who would want to eat mud?" Sang Wan smiled sweetly and read out the menu:
"Crystal fruit, honey-floured pear flower, donkey meat hot pot, braised prawns, steamed chicken. It's hot, and some icy yogurt would make it even more perfect. Remember to sprinkle some chopped almonds..."
