Pei Zhi was sitting in the study at this time, his face ashen.
Shenzhao and the others knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to step forward.
After Shuang Ning came back and saw this description, "Master doesn't like those women?"
Pei Zhi glanced at her and said nothing. Shen Zhao looked at Shuang Ning who didn't know whether to live or die, and wanted to pull her away.
Shuang Ning calmly avoided his hand: "According to slaves, how can the Jiang family control such a noble status as the master?"
Pei Zhi didn't interrupt, but just signaled her to continue.
Shuang Ning's mind was moved: "Let me tell you this. The eldest lady's behavior in this aspect is really ridiculous. She is just being intimate with a guard. How can she just pull someone to the master?"
She felt Pei Zhi's gaze looking over at her, and her palms tightened.
It took a lot of effort for the master to be so angry, and he was still angry at this moment. If he took this opportunity to completely stalemate the relationship between the two people——
After Pei Zhi heard this, the Zihao pen he was holding suddenly broke into two sections.
He naturally knew who the guard Shuang Ning was talking about was.
He asked directly: "What did you see?"
Shuang Ning was waiting for her master to ask. After hearing this, she hurriedly knelt down and recounted the scene she had just seen.
Pei Zhi was not as angry as he imagined. Although there was anger in his eyes, there was still some sense.
"Based on these alone, you can conclude that she is related to that guard?"
The coldness in her tone made Shuang Ning unable to help but feel frightened.
As expected, I was still too aggressive.
Pei Zhi stood up and rubbed the jade ring in his hand: "Shuang Ning, how long have you been with me?"
Shuang Ning knelt on the ground and said with sincere fear: "Since I was born, this slave has been here for my master. I have been with my master for exactly three years now."
She felt uneasy. Why did the master suddenly ask about this?
The look on Pei Zhi's face was unclear: "Three years?"
Shuang Ning came closer: "Master, it has been three years, and this slave has been very loyal to his master."
Pei Zhi suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "What a loyal person."
Shen Zhao knew his master better than he did, so he naturally knew that Shuang Ning's words were a taboo.
She wanted to sow discord between the master and the eldest lady, but how could it be so easy to sow discord between the two people now?
Although the master was angry because of these things at this time, Shuang Ning said these words for no reason, so the master must be protecting the eldest lady.
Shuang Ning has been with her master for almost three years, but she still hasn't figured this out yet.
"From today on, you don't have to be with me anymore."
Although Shuang Ning felt something was wrong, she did not expect that Pei Zhi would say such words, and there was shock in her eyes.
"Master, what did Shuang Ning do wrong?"
Pei Zhi took out a new Zihao pen from the pen holder and said with an indifferent expression: "I can't tolerate people who gossip."
Shuang Ning was shocked and wanted to defend herself. Shen Zhao on the side said: "Shuang Ning, how can I allow you to question the master's decision?"
Shuang Ning seemed to remember something after being reminded like this. She trembled slightly and said nothing more.
She was quickly taken down by Shen Zhao.
Shuang Ning clearly knew how much it cost to leave her master.
She has been the master's secret guard since she was born, but now the master cannot tolerate her...
When Shen Zhao asked someone to take her out, he saw her with a despairing look, and finally couldn't bear it.
Fighting through so many people to reach the master's side, how many hardships have been put in, how can outsiders explain it.
In the end, he just said: "Take care!"
Shuang Ning held her sleeve tightly. If it weren't for that bitch Jiang Li, how could she have left her master.
——
Jiang Li had already come towards Hanshuiyuan at this time, and Shen Zhao saw her just as he sent people away.
I couldn't help but let out another thump in my heart. Why did the eldest lady suddenly come over at this time? The master is very angry now. If the eldest lady said something that shouldn't be said...
He originally wanted to hide away, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to hold him back after seeing him. Shen Zhao complained in his heart.
"Miss, why are you here at this time?"
He gave some hints with his eyes, "Master, I'm afraid now..."
"Shen Zhao, this is exactly what happened to me."
There was a hint of refusal in Jiang Li's tone: "Take me there, I have something to talk to Third Brother."
After hearing this, Shen Zhao said, "Miss, the master is in the study now."
He won't get over it. Sometimes it's not good to know too much.
After Jiang Li heard this, she walked directly towards the study.
After Pei Zhi dealt with Shuang Ning, although he knew that her words were sincere provocations, he still felt very depressed in his heart.
Jiang Li is becoming more and more capable now, and she can make herself so angry with just a few words.
On the one hand, he was angry with Jiang Li for saying those words and pushing some inexplicable women to him. On the other hand, he was angry with himself because he couldn't control his emotions in front of Jiang Li.
Thinking of what Shuang Ning said, the little girl knew it clearly, but when Mu Bai looked at her expression, she might not be so innocent.
He had bumped into each other before, when Mu Bai taught Jiang Li how to dance a sword. The relationship between the two people was described as intimate. If he didn't know better, he might have thought it was...
The more he thought about this, the more he couldn't control his temper. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and swept everything on the table to the floor.
Jiang Li came in at this time.
As soon as he stepped forward, he heard the sound of broken tools, and his whole body was startled.
There was some astonishment in his eyes: "Third brother...?"
Pei Zhi didn't expect Jiang Li to suddenly appear here. He noticed that he was losing his composure and coughed slightly, then there was a hint of mockery on his face: "What are you doing here?"
Seeing Pei Zhi like this, Jiang Li said in a dull voice: "Third brother, what happened today -"
As soon as she mentioned this, Pei Zhi raised his head and stared at her with his eyes, which seemed to burn her skin.
Jiang Li looked into his eyes, and the words she was about to say stuck in her throat.
There was a hint of ridicule in Pei Zhi's voice: "Jiang Li, what on earth do you want me to do? Am I someone who can come and go at a push?"
Jiang Li hurriedly explained: "Third brother, of course I didn't mean that."
I came here this time just to make this matter clear.
After Pei Zhi heard this, the coldness in his eyes became even more intense. He moved closer. Jiang Li was already much shorter than him. There was a big difference in height between the two of them.
Jiang Li only felt that Pei Zhi's entire body was shrouded in front of her at this moment, and there was a sense of pressure. She swallowed subconsciously.
Pei Zhi's breath almost hit the left side of her eardrum. Jiang Li's ears were already sensitive, so she subconsciously wanted to move away, but the person in front of her held her shoulders, preventing her from moving.
Pei Zhi looked gloomy: "Then what do you mean?"
There was a hint of stubbornness in his expression, and he came closer, staring at Jiang Li: "Jiang Li, don't do this to me."
Jiang Li saw her third brother like this, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.
No words came out of my mouth.
Seeing her like this, Pei Zhi suddenly stepped away, and all the ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Li felt the people retreating and felt empty in her heart.
"Third brother, I came to you because of this matter."
There was a bit of mockery in Pei Zhi's eyes: "Do you really think you can take care of my affairs?"
When Jiang Li heard this unhesitating sarcasm, her heart ached, but she couldn't find anything to say to refute.
"Third brother, for some reason today, you actually agreed to grandma. If that's your nature, I won't say much. But if you agree like this out of anger, it will be irresponsible to everyone."
After hearing this, Pei Zhi looked like he was smiling but not smiling: "Jiang Li, you thought of the method. Now I accept the method you thought of. Now you are talking about this."
"I just don't want Third Brother to be so random -"
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Zhi interrupted him hastily: "How do you know if I'm being random?"
Jiang Li was yelled like this and paused for a moment, looking confused and not knowing what to do.
Except for the beginning, when Pei Zhi didn't want to see him, that's why he spoke to her in this tone. Later, the relationship between the two became better, and Pei Zhi has always been amiable.
Since the last time, the third brother seemed to be increasingly unable to control his emotions in front of her, and Jiang Li felt aggrieved in her heart.
When Pei Zhi saw the little girl like this, he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
But when I think of what happened on New Year's Eve, my heartache is suppressed.
"Jiang Li, you don't want to be with me, and you don't even want to give me the chance to connect. You just push me to others. Now that I accept it, you come to persuade me in the opposite direction. What's the reason?"
"Or, you haven't seen your heart clearly at all."
"In your heart, you don't want me to get close to the woman next to you."
Jiang Li subconsciously retorted: "That's not the case."
Pei Zhi's eyes were unpredictable: "If this wasn't the case, why are you blushing?"
When Jiang Li heard these straightforward words, she looked panicked: "I just... I just..."
It only lasted for a long time, but I couldn't say anything else.
Pei Zhi looked at the panicked little girl in front of him and calmed down: "Jiang Li, you have to know that I am not indispensable to you."
After Jiang Li heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.
What does third brother mean by this——
Pei Zhi picked up the calligraphy and paintings that he had just dropped on the ground, put them on the table and rearranged them: "Jiang Li, if you really don't have any interest in me, why did you act like that when you heard my promise? ?”
"Or tell me what exactly it takes to satisfy you."
Jiang Li looked at the man in front of her and couldn't say a word.
Pei Zhi saw how she knew that his words had an effect.
What Yuan Jing said is not entirely correct. To deal with Jiang Li pretending not to understand, she should be given a strong dose of medicine to make her understand the stakes.
Pei Zhi naturally has his own pride, and such humble requests twice and three times are already very rare.
"Jiang Li, I'll give you some time to think about it."
"If you have that kind of interest in me, as long as you don't treat me like your brother, we'll take our time with the rest."
"If you really can't pass the psychological test, I won't force you from now on. You are the head of Rongan County, and you should enjoy all the glory for the rest of your life. But from now on, we don't have to see each other again."
If the little girl really couldn't pass the test in her heart, it was impossible for him to watch her marry someone else. Pei Zhi stayed in Luoyang, beside His Majesty, to complete his mission.
Jiang Li knew that Pei Zhi's words were absolutely no excuse.
The third brother never tells lies.
He said that he would never see each other again from now on, so there must be no day to see each other again.
When she thought that she and her third brother might never see each other again, Jiang Li's heart felt sour and painful, as if a cut was being made in her heart, and something very important was disappearing.
"Third brother, I..."
"You don't have to answer now, just go back and think about it."
Pei Zhi grabbed her hand and placed it on Jiang Li's heart: "Jiang Li, ask your heart and follow your heart's choice."
——
Shen Zhao didn't know what happened inside, but saw the eldest lady running out in a panic, her face turning red.
He was shocked, the master had done something to the eldest lady!
After entering, I was shocked again when I saw the mess all over the ground.
Pei Zhi returned to his room. After he finished what he had just said, he looked at the little girl's reaction and felt a little regretful.
It's just that it's better to say these words as soon as possible. If not, you should get out in time.
He now knows that he can grab the things he likes and tie them to the people he likes as long as he moves his hands.
But the heart is different.
Of course he has many ways to trap Jiang Li by his side, but if the little girl doesn't want to and will not be happy in the future, it's okay not to use this method.
After all, I raised him by myself, so I can’t bear to let him go——
Jiang Li fled all the way back to her yard, covering her blushing face. She must have been frightened by the third brother. The third brother always talked to her about this, so she came up with this idea.
She shook her head, trying to get rid of those ridiculous thoughts, but Pei Zhi's words just now lingered in her mind.
Those words were like a seed sprouting from the ground in my heart, just waiting to grow into a towering tree one day.
For several days after that, Jiang Li stayed in her yard, hiding behind closed doors and seeing no one.
Even when the old lady came to call for help, she was turned away.
She really should think about it carefully. Is her feelings for her third brother really just a brother-sister relationship?
——
At this time, the Li family in Luoyang.
The atmosphere in the mansion was dull. Suddenly, a young man ran in with joy on his face.
"Master and Madam, we have found the second young lady!"
A thin woman ran out, "What, we found Qingxue——"
A tall man followed closely behind him. Although his eyes were cloudy, he could not hide his joy.
