Chapter 49
Drive away
After Pei Mo heard what Bai Mengying said, he looked at Bai Mengying with a mocking look on his face, as if he wanted to see through her.
After Bai Mengying saw Pei Mo's expression, she lowered her head with guilt.
Pei Mo said after a while: "Are you sure you saw it? If you lie, you will be beheaded."
Bai Mengying flinched a little, but in order to wrongly accuse Murong Qing, she still had the courage to say: "I just saw it."
Pei Mo looked at Bai Mengying with disdain and said, "Bai Mengying, I don't believe a word you said. It's impossible for my wife to do something like that."
Seeing that Pei Mo didn't believe it at all, Bai Mengying said quickly: "It's true. I saw him laughing in front of the burning house. She must have set it up." Her voice was louder than before, as if she wanted to
Pei Mo believed the same as her.
Pei Mo ignored what Bai Mengying said and called for someone to take Bai Mengying into custody.
"General, if you don't believe me, you believe her." Bai Mengying said in disbelief.
"She is my wife. I don't trust her. Who do I trust? Do I trust you?" Pei Mo said firmly.
Bai Mengying was very angry. She never thought that she would tell Pei Mo that not only did Pei Mo not believe him, but he also kept protecting that bitch Murong Qing, and she was unwilling to accept it.
She said angrily: "General, you must have been deceived by that foxy girl. You believe her without any discrimination. I saw it with my own eyes."
Before Pei Mo could say anything, Bai Mengying received a slap on the face, and five slap marks immediately appeared. Bai Mengying's face was in burning pain. Pei Mo was already very angry just now because he didn't believe her, but now he was so angry again
After being beaten, she immediately looked up with anger on her face to see who had hit her. She was about to say, "Who dares to hit me?" When she looked up and saw it was Murong Qing, the words got stuck in her throat and she did not say it out.
Murong Qing just wanted to come to Pei Mo to discuss how the fire started, whether it was man-made or unintentional. As soon as he arrived outside the study yard and was about to enter, he heard Bai Mengying and Pei Mo talking, and he thought
Listen for a while and see what Bai Mengying is here to do. Unexpectedly, she is here to frame herself. She was very angry at first and was about to come in to refute, but she didn't expect Pei Mo to firmly believe in herself. She was indeed very moved, which she did not expect.
But Bai Mengying could not frame Pei Mo if she framed herself. So she couldn't hold it back and rushed up and slapped Bai Mengying.
"Madam, why are you here?" Pei Mo saw Murong Qing's sudden appearance and suddenly didn't react. He didn't expect Murong Qing to slap Bai Mengying.
When Murong Qing heard Pei Mo ask her, she replied: "I was taking Ping'er for a walk around the house, and then I heard a noise, and I found that there was a fire over there. I went over and took a look and the fire was quite big.
I just wanted to come to you and ask you what caused the fire over there, but I didn’t expect to see such a good show."
After hearing what Murong Qing said, Pei Mo comforted him: "Don't take what she said to heart, I don't believe it at all." After saying that, he saw that Murong Qing's clothes were a little thin, so he asked the housekeeper to bring him a cloak.
By the way, I whispered a few words to the housekeeper and then let him go down.
Pei Mo walked up to Murong Qing with his cloak, put the cloak on Murong Qing, and said with concern: "There is heavy dew at night, so don't catch a cold."
Murong Qing smiled and said, "Okay, it wasn't very cold when I came out in the afternoon, so I wore a little thin clothes."
Bai Mengying was so jealous that she could crush her teeth. Her face was burning with pain while she wanted to watch the sweet interaction between Murong Qing and Pei Mo.
Murong Qing walked up to Bai Mengying, changed his smile from before, and said viciously: "If you dare to say such things to Pei Mo again in the future, I will make you pay the price."
Bai Mengying said harshly: "What can you do to me if I tell you?"
Murong Qing smiled contemptuously and did not answer Bai Mengying's words, "Whoever comes, drag her down, pack her luggage and drive her out."
"Yes." After the servants answered, they pulled Bai Mengying down.
"Murong Qing, why did you drive me out? General, don't drive me out." Bai Mengying cried and shouted while being pulled out by the servants, but no one paid attention to her.
Pei Mo didn't say a word while Murong Qing was talking to Bai Mengying. He just stood beside her silently, defaulting to being on the same side as Murong Qing.
Pei Mo didn't say a word after Bai Mengying was pulled down. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he just took Murong Qing's hand and asked, "Why are your hands so cold? Come on, let's go into the study and talk."
Pei Mo took Murong Qing's hand and entered the study. It was indeed much warmer in the study. They didn't speak and were waiting in a tacit understanding.
Until a servant came into the study and told them that Bai Mengying had been kicked out. Murong Qing nodded to show that he understood, and stretched out his hand to let the servant go out.
Murong Qing looked at Pei Mo. Although Pei Mo didn't say anything, she knew that Pei Mo must have a lot of doubts in his heart, so she took the initiative and said, "Just ask whatever you want to ask, and I'll tell you."
Pei Mo saw Murong Qing take the initiative to speak, and knew what she wanted to say, so he asked, "Why did you kick Bai Mengying out?"
"Because I found that there was something wrong with her, judging from what she just said, she framed me, and it was a bit unsafe to keep such a person around, so I drove her away, so that there wouldn't be anything
There is a safety risk." Murong Qing said to Pei Mo seriously. "And she was talking nonsense about you just now. I am also afraid that she will do something that will endanger you when she becomes angry."
Pei Mo listened to what Murong Qing said and thought seriously, "Are you talking about the arson incident?"
Murong Qing said: "I think it might be her. She might be the only one in the mansion who would do such a thing to frame me."
What Murong Qing was thinking was: Bai Mengying's false accusation against me this time might be arson, and the next time he falsely accuses me, it might be murder, so it would be safer to send her away.
Pei Mo looked at Murong Qing's frown and realized that Murong Qing might be talking about the incident that happened just now. He also knew that Murong Qing might have sent Bai Mengying away because he was worried about him, and he felt happy.
He reached out and touched Murong Qing's head, smoothing away the frown on her brow, and said to Murong Qing with a smile: "Madam is actually worried about me, but I have already found out who did this, and it is not Bai Mengying."
After saying that, he called the butler in. The butler revealed that he was a servant whom the general had taught him a lesson. He had a grudge against the general, and secretly set the fire on fire just to get revenge on the general.
But this doesn't sound right.
