Pei Jinting sent Mr. Yu back to the backyard. However, he did not see Gu Qingyuan in the room.
Usually at this time she would be copying scriptures on a specially set up desk in the house.
Ever since the news came that Zhen Guogong had lost contact, she would quietly copy scriptures when she had nothing to do.
Obviously the knuckles that were pricked by a hairpin that time in the palace have not fully healed yet.
He also refused to stop.
As if this can guarantee the safe return of Zhen Guoping.
He seems to be such a calm person, but his heart is still turbulent.
No matter what the reason was, she cared about Duke Zhen Guo very much.
However, Pei Jinting was a little surprised as to where the person had gone.
He asked, and He Zheng came over and whispered back to him.
"Master, Madam went to see Marquis Jingyi today."
Lu Wenze.
Pei Jinting's eyelids twitched inexplicably.
He turned around and walked out the door.
"Go find the lady."
He Zheng followed Pei Jinting and looked at his face.
His face was so dark that he couldn't speak, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pressed.
He Zheng only dared to whisper,
"Sir, when you went to see the husband of the Yu family, Marquis Jingyi sent someone to deliver a letter. My wife has gone out now, and the letter is probably still in the house..."
He was asking Pei Jinting if he wanted to see the letter sent by Lu Wenze.
He asked, looking at Pei Jinting carefully.
Pei Jinting pinched the ring on his knuckles, looked at the tall red bean tree in the courtyard, and was silent for a long time.
"No need."
There were layers of dark clouds in the sky, as if it was going to rain, and the wind was swirling in place, without any relief from the condensation and dullness.
At the door, Pei Jinting turned around and ordered, "Have someone bring me some scissors..."
In front of the mansion, the husband of the Yu family got on the carriage and left.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear a voice instructing the coachman to go to the government office to submit paperwork.
What documents need to be submitted to the government office?
It seems that what Lu Wenze said is true.
The husband of the Yu family indeed came to reconcile with Chen Zhao and wrote a letter of reconciliation.
Gu Qingyuan thought about it, and suddenly felt an unspeakable feeling.
She gently exhaled a breath from her chest, entered the house and returned to the backyard.
When I returned to the yard, I saw Pei Jinting in the house as expected.
At this moment, he was sitting in the corner of the room specially set aside by her, in front of the desk, his body upright, and he was copying something.
On the desk that originally contained only pen and ink, there was a pure and elegant porcelain vase with white enamel.
The bottle body is rounded with perfect curvature, and inside is a bunch of unpruned, plump red bean flowers.
It's not pretty, but it catches people's eyes.
This scene is so abrupt that people notice its existence at a glance.
Gu Qingyuan stopped by the door.
As if hearing the sound of footsteps, Pei Jinting raised his eyes, saw Gu Qingyuan, and put down the pen in his hand.
When she looked out from the window just now, she thought she was going to see Marquis Jingyi without incident, but now it looked like something was unusual.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan stop at the door instead of coming over, her eyes fell on the porcelain bottle.
"I don't know which of the maids in the courtyard breaks things when they see them in the courtyard. She doesn't even fold them well, so she just takes the branches to make up for it."
He looked disgusted, "If you don't like it, let someone take it away..."
But to be honest, the semi-ripe yew pods placed in the porcelain vase are already as red as fire, and some are half hanging in front of the vase.
Red and white contrast with each other, and there is a hint of weird elegance in the roughness.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the burning red beans and moved slowly,
"No."
Under Pei Jinting's surprised and expectant gaze, Gu Qingyuan said softly,
"Red beans represent lovesickness. Very good."
This courtyard is staffed by servants of the Pei family.
Because Pei Jinting doesn't like to use maids, except for frost branches, he can enter this house, but others can't enter at all.
Pei Jinting said that the situation where the maid pruned the branches and inserted the bottles did not exist.
But since it can appear on the desk, the answer is obvious.
Who is he missing?
It can never be her.
Pei Jinting raised his eyes and glanced at the porcelain vase.
"Since you like it, you can always have people cut the branches and put them in bottles."
Gu Qingyuan's thoughts were a little confused now, so she was a little absent-minded in her reply.
"It's fine hanging on the branch, why bother cutting it."
The corners of Pei Jinting's mouth dropped downwards, and the place on his hand that had just been accidentally scratched seemed to hurt even more.
"Did you go to see Marquis Jingyi today?"
Gu Qingyuan didn't want to hide it from him, so she nodded along with his words.
Pei Jinting stared at her intensely, as if his eyes were trying to penetrate her mind.
"Gu Yuanyuan. Don't forget that Lu Wenze is a petty, self-willed, arrogant and self-righteous person..."
After scolding Lu Wenze with his eyes blinking, he said slowly,
"What did he say to you..."
He asked this question quite clearly.
Gu Qingyuan saw that he really ran out of words to belittle Lu Wenze, she pursed her lips and smiled,
"He said there was news about my father. So I went."
After hearing this, Pei Jinting's eyelashes trembled slightly and his fingertips curled up slightly.
A flash of discomfort flashed through his heart. It was fleeting and came too fast to be caught.
Then, he heard Gu Qingyuan say,
"I didn't expect he was just lying."
Pei Jinting's hand holding the ring finger didn't know when to stop.
He contains hypocrisy and regret, his eyes are as dark as the deep sea,
"A man who doesn't even dare to tell the truth is simply despicable..."
Halfway through, he narrowed his eyes slightly and mumbled his lips, "He is just a despicable person..."
Gu Qingyuan felt uncomfortable because she and Lu Wenze were in the same room before returning, so she picked up her clothes and asked someone to prepare water for a bath.
But before she could go to the cleansing room, Pei Jinting grabbed her by the waist and took her into his arms.
His movements were sudden and his arms were strong.
Gu Qingyuan was so startled by him that her eyes widened.
Pei Jinting's heart suddenly sank at her frightened look. Before she could speak, he held her head, lowered his head and kissed her.
There was no atmosphere, no emotion or tenderness in this kiss.
He fell down hard.
Gu Qingyuan was stunned, but her waist was tightly held in someone's arms.
She had to raise her head in his palm, and her lips were kissed heavily.
The next breath, it seemed as if there were lips and tongues trying to pry open the teeth and poke their way in.
It seemed like an army was about to invade the city.
Gu Qingyuan finally noticed something was wrong with the man and put her hand against his chest.
Pushing every part of his body with my hands was useless.
Instead, when she moved, the man's kiss became more ferocious, and in the end she almost suffocated from his kiss.
There was an unknown heavy atmosphere in the room.
Just when Gu Qingyuan couldn't withstand his offensive, she thought she was going to be trapped on the bed by him like the previous few days.
The man in front of me suddenly stopped.
The breath hit Gu Qingyuan's ears heavily,
"We are temporarily living in the mansion, over there in the other hospital, and my sister is moving there to recuperate."
Gu Qingyuan was slightly startled, then suddenly realized.
