Chapter 25: Brainless Things
Glancing at Chi Wanyue's quiet little face again, a smile flashed in Ning Huaizhao's eyes.
Ghost girl, not very good, a lot of ideas.
In the final analysis, Chi Bangyue still caught Ning Huaizhao's softness towards her.
Some people are just obsessed with their hearts and don't know it.
Here is a warm and harmonious place, but Cheng Wan is turbulent there.
When Cheng Wan saw Ning Huaizhao come out with Chi Bangyue in her arms, she knew that she had failed, her face turned blue with anger, and she slapped the railing and planned to leave Man Tingfang.
But before he could go out, he was stopped by a scholar.
Cheng Wan was in a bad mood at this time, and she didn't have a good tone to speak: "What are you doing?" ”
Yin Mo nodded slightly, looking very respectful: "Miss Cheng, my family is invited." ”
Cheng Wan frowned: "Who is your adult?" ”
"Master Pei Yanpei, the squire of the Criminal Department."
Cheng Wan squinted slightly, it turned out to be Pei Yan.
She originally wanted Ning Huaizhao to catch Pei Yan and Chi Bangyue's rape, but she was afraid that something unexpected would happen so she would find two additional men, thinking that if the plan to catch the rape failed, she would completely let Chi Bangyue lose her innocence, and she would be over.
Unexpectedly, she never saw Pei Yan on the painting boat, so she would let the two men in.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yan actually came, but he didn't go to the painting boat, so that his plan fell through.
Thinking of this, Cheng Wan waved her hand angrily, and her tone when she spoke was not arrogant.
"It's just a squire of the Criminal Department, and Miss Ben is also worthy of him."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Wan raised her feet and wanted to leave, but Yin Mo behind her slowly spoke: "My lord said that if Miss Cheng is not afraid of being retaliated by King Jin, just leave." ”
These words really made Cheng Wan successfully stop, turned her head to look at Yin Mo, and thought about it a few times, and then reluctantly turned around: "Lead the way." ”
Yin Mo stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Miss Cheng, please." ”
Cheng Wan raised her head and followed him to a secluded room in Man Tingfang.
The furnishings in the room are luxurious and understated, and the incense burner is burning in the room, and the white smoke rises and spreads throughout the space.
It is a thousand-year-old agarwood top.
Pei Yan sat at the small table, wearing a dark blue cloak, carrying a teapot to refill the teacup, and a few coughs came out from time to time, looking weak.
When Cheng Wan came over, she saw such a scene, the man lowered his eyebrows, thin and clear, and his every move was not hurried or slow, but it was very elegant.
When she heard the rumors about Pei Yan, she thought that he was a reckless man who didn't know poetry and books, but now that she looks at it, it is far from his rumors.
She really couldn't figure out how such a man could be so ugly in front of the people and Chi Bangyue, and asked Chi Bangyue to change her mind at the expense of losing face.
Seeing her coming, Pei Yan looked at her, slowly curled his lips, and his eyes were shining, like broken glass that was hard to buy.
These eyes actually made the not outstanding facial features a little more brilliant, and Cheng Wan couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
"Miss Cheng, please be seated."
Cheng Wan came back to her senses, a touch of chagrin flashed in her eyes, and she said in her heart: It's really a rumor.
How did she know that Pei Yan in front of her was not Pei Yan?
Sitting across from him, Cheng Wan seemed to be trying to regain her dignity at a glance, always like a proud Luhua chicken, with her head held high and her tone pampered.
"Pei Yan, since you're here, why don't you go to the painting boat? Are you willing to watch Ning Huaizhao and Chi Bangyue hook up and commit adultery? ”
Pei Yan chuckled, picked up the cup on the tea table, put it to his lips and took a sip, his tone was not hurried, and his voice was gentle and mellow.
"Since Miss Cheng is unwilling to destroy it, why use it?"
Cheng Wan was said to be weak-hearted, her eyes fluttered, and she said as if she was cheating: "When did I use you?" You don't want to spew blood, this is the root of the bane, Miss Ben doesn't admit it. ”
Pei Yan was not annoyed, and covered his lips and coughed a few times.
"Miss Cheng doesn't admit it, just don't admit it, it's just that what you did, King Jin will find out sooner or later, and at that time, he won't be able to drink tea so calmly like you and me."
At the mention of Ning Huaizhao, fear appeared in Cheng Wan's eyes, and her fingers unconsciously picked the edge of the table, and she had no confidence to speak.
"It's just a demon that everyone shouts and beats, what can I do?"
A hint of ridicule flashed in Pei Yan's eyes.
It's really a fool, but it's just used to make use of it, and it's even easier to use things that don't have brains.
"The emperor originally sent him to the fiefdom, and he planned that the father and son would never see each other again in this life, but the emperor personally issued a summoning order to let him return to Changjing, and even urged him three times and four times, wanting to see him, do you really think that he is a useless wreck, and he can't pose a threat to you and the Cheng family?"
Cheng Wan has never cared much about the affairs in the court, and she can't figure out this twisting and turning thing.
But what Pei Yan said was conveying a message to her on the surface.
Today's King Jin is not what it used to be, and he is relied on by the emperor, and it is not something that their Cheng family can compete with.
Cheng Wan lowered her eyes, her eyes wandered around, and after she figured it out, a layer of panic appeared on her face.
"But...... But the person who sent the message was Chi Qingliu, what does it have to do with me? ”
"You're the culprit, aren't you? What's more, I heard that King Jin also captured two men, and they have nothing to do with you? ”
Pei Yan's expression was calm and indifferent from beginning to end, but there were layers of sharp light flying in his eyes, and every word was aggressive, trying to push Cheng Wan into the trap he had woven step by step.
"But I never came forward, and those two men were bought by my maid."
As she spoke, Cheng Wan looked at Yingqi, although she said so, the panic in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
Yingjian was suddenly named, a little flustered, but still set his eyes on Pei Yan's face, and then moved away, bowing slightly: "It was indeed the slave maid who did it, and they used a scarf to cover their faces, they should not be recognizable." ”
Pei Yan raised his eyelids, looked at her, and after being silent for a few seconds, he beckoned to her slowly: "Come here, let me see." ”
Ying Hairpin glanced at Cheng Wan, and only walked over after seeing her nodding, her heart was worried.
She walked up to Pei Yan and lowered her eyebrows.
Pei Yan glanced up at her, his eyes fell on the red mole between her right eyebrows, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips, his voice was soft, but a chill rose from the tail vertebrae.
"This red mole between the eyebrows is quite special."
Ying Hairpin instantly turned white, and his heart was even more worried, and even his body trembled.
Pei Yan smiled harmlessly: "Come closer." ”
Yingqi was so frightened that her lips were shaking, and she looked at Cheng Wan like asking for help.
