Can’t afford to pay

Pei Mo said with a cold face: "It's no use trying this trick with me."

"General, why are you so fierce? I will be scared." Bai Mengying's face froze, but she still tried to stay calm. The more scared you are at this time, the more calm you should stay.

But Pei Mo had lost his patience, and he took Bai Mengying directly to an empty room in another courtyard without saying a word.

The lights in the empty room were dim, and there were dust and cobwebs everywhere. It looked very scary. This was the first time Bai Mengying had been treated like this. She would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid.

"General, what do you want to do?" Bai Mengying backed away, her apparent composure almost no longer possible.

Pei Mo sneered, with an expression that Bai Mengying had never seen before. Although he usually acted like a monster in the mansion, Pei Mo was mostly a bystander. He would never show such a frightening expression.

"What to do? If you don't explain it properly, I will treat you the same way I treat a dying person." Pei Mo changed his past tolerance and became calm and serious.

Such a sentence frightened Bai Mengying to death.

"What are you looking at me for? Why don't you tell me the truth quickly? Don't you want your eyes?" Pei Mo slowly approached and narrowed his eyes. He looked like the Lord of Hell from hell.

Bai Mengying couldn't hold it back any longer, and her tears fell down. It looked like she was very frightened. She blinked her eyes and said in a trembling tone: "I said, I said, I hope the general will spare my life!"

Pei Mo saw that she was about to attack so quickly, so he didn't say anything and just silently took a few steps back.

"Actually, it was the third prince who asked me to look for some kind of portrait." Bai Mengying said with tears, looking so pitiful. She was sobbing while talking, if other men would have been distressed already.

Pei Mo frowned when he heard this, not understanding what the portrait the other party was talking about was.

"Tell me more specifically."

But in fact, Bai Mengying was not very clear about it, and the tips given by Sheng Xiuyan were also very vague.

"Anyway, he asked me to go to your study to find a portrait of a middle-aged woman, and told me that the woman was very beautiful." Bai Mengying told the truth. Now she was afraid of losing her life, so she didn't dare to hide anything.

Pei Mo frowned and realized quickly. What Sheng Xiuyan asked her to find should be her mother's portrait.

But why are you looking for this? Also, no one knows the identity of his biological mother. Could it be that Sheng Xiuyan discovered something?

"But I didn't find anything! General, can you spare me this time? I promise this will never happen again in the future." Bai Mengying cried, her tone pleading.

If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?

Pei Mo had long sensed Murong Qing's displeasure with her, but now she had openly become a traitor. No matter how much Bai Mengying begged for mercy, it was useless.

"Pack your things and go." Pei Mo said calmly.

Bai Mengying just wanted to speak and plead for herself. But when she saw Pei Mo's eyes as cold as ice, she couldn't hold back any words.

Pei Mo then turned around and left, while Bai Mengying froze in place for a long time, unable to recover.

She was trying to understand the meaning of Pei Mo's words. Pack her things and leave? Does that mean she was kicked out of the house?

Sheng Xiuyan already didn't like him very much. If he left the general's mansion again, he would have completely lost his value. Bai Mengying shook her head and was determined not to let this happen.

The next day.

Bai Mengying struggled with her thoughts all night and decided to go to Murong Qing to intercede. At this point, she could only give it a try.

"Madam! Please! Please don't drive me away!" As soon as Bai Mengying entered the door, she knelt directly in front of Murong Qing and shocked Murong Qing.

Murong Qing was a little confused about this sudden gift.

Ping'er and Murong Qing looked at each other, neither knowing what the other was up to.

"Who wants to drive you away?" Murong Qing quickly grasped the key point and asked. Apart from himself, only Pei Mo had the right to speak in this mansion.

Bai Mengying immediately replied: "It's the general! I know that I am careless, but if I leave the general's house, I will be homeless. Besides, I regard my wife as my own sister. If I leave you, I really don't know."

What should we do!”

At this time, she actually brought out the relationship between the two of them, and it was so pitiful and sensational.

"This is the decision made by the general. I can't change it. What's more, the general is a kind man. I'm afraid you haven't made any unforgivable mistakes. The general won't be so cruel to drive you out of the house, right?" Murong Qing touched his hand.

The jade bracelet on his head said lightly.

Bai Mengying's face turned dark after hearing this.

At this time, Murong Qing stood up, walked slowly in front of the other party, and then suddenly said softly: "However, we grew up together, and our affection is naturally incomparable with others."

As she spoke, she tucked the strands of hair beside her behind her ears, and at this moment she took off the earrings from her ears.

"Yes, yes! We have played together since we were young, and we talk about girls' concerns. Although they are not biological sisters, they are better than biological sisters in the slave's heart." Bai Mengying thought that the other party was soft-hearted, so she smiled brightly and began to follow what the other party said.

Murong Qing also smiled and nodded, "What you said is true, and I think the same thing as you."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to pull Bai Mengying up from the floor. Just after the two hands met in the air, Bai Mengying had just exerted a little strength and wanted to use her strength.

Murong Qing fell, and she took the opportunity to let go of her hand. The pieces of the beautiful earrings scattered all over the floor.

"Ah!" Murong Qing exclaimed.

Coincidentally, Pei Mo saw this scene as soon as he walked in. He frowned, strode forward, and pulled Murong Qing up.

He still looked like a baby and asked: "Where did you fall? Does it hurt?"

Murong Qing, the drama queen who was being supported, got up and began to complain aggrievedly: "It hurts. I fell on my arm. But these are all fine. You gave me that pair of earrings specially. They are broken now. I'm sorry." After that,

She lowered her head.

Pei Mo smiled fondly: "Why did you deliberately knock down Madam just now? Her earring was broken. What are you going to pay for it?" He turned around and immediately changed his attitude towards Bai Mengying.

Those who didn't know better thought it was two people talking just now.

Bai Mengying was shocked by the sudden accusation. How could she have any money now? The money she had before was all given by Murong Qing because of her good relationship with Murong Qing.

My current monthly money is not enough to buy some rouge and gouache, let alone those earrings that look extremely expensive.

"General! Me! I can't afford to pay." No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, Bai Mengying had to admit that she really didn't have the ability.

Murong Qing pulled Pei Mo at this time: "Forget it."
