Chapter 124 - 124:I Will Send It to Jingtang



Earlier, at Heavenly Water Bridge…

When Pei Xiangjun returned from the business trip, she was faced with the trivial matters of the past month. She worked in the accounting room until late at night before she roughly sorted them out.

She returned to the Pei residence with some fatigue. The house was very quiet.

Pei Xiangjun went straight to the back residence. She saw her sister-in-law, Madam Zhang, sitting in the tea hall with a needle and thread in her hand and a happy expression on her brows. “Sister-in-Law, why are you so happy?”

“Hello, Third Lady. Have a seat. This morning, Luo’er was unconvinced and took the initiative to go out with Jingtang to do something. In the end, Jingtang fought his way from Parasol Street to the West Market alone and subdued Luo’er. When he came back, he praised Jingtang for being amazing. Then he packed his belongings and returned to the academy. It seems he feels pressured and knows that if he doesn’t study, the Pei family will have nothing to do with him in the future.”

Pei Xiangjun wasn’t surprised. She sat down opposite the tea table. “Jingtang is indeed impressive. He did a good job this time. It’s just that… he’s a little rash…”

Mrs. Zhang poured Pei Xiangjun a cup of tea. “Are you talking about the matter with Zhou Huaili? If Jingtang can resolve the subsequent troubles, then he’s not rash. He’s really capable…”

“Sigh…” Pei Xiangjun was talking about the cult mistress, but she really didn’t dare to let her sister-in-law know about this. She thought for a moment and said tactfully, “Jingtang met a heroine in Jianghu. She’s from the Pacifying Heaven Cult…”

Mrs. Zhang’s eyes narrowed as she said warily, “The Pacifying Heaven Cult came to poach him?”

Pei Xiangjun nodded. “The Pacifying Heaven Cult definitely has the intention of poaching him, but Jingtang seems to really like her…”

Madam Zhang put down her needle and thread, and her expression turned serious. “Third Lady, I told you when Jingtang first came that we had to guard against other Jianghu forces poaching him. Were you not prepared at all?”

Pei Xiangjun sighed. “I didn’t expect the Pacifying Heaven Cult to come so quickly. Jingtang promised me that he would continue to help the Pei family…”

Mrs. Zhang patted the tea table, a little annoyed. “Jingtang isn’t related to our Pei family. Second Brother ran away from home. Even if he helps out of friendship, our Pei family shouldn’t accept it with a clear conscience. Now that he has made a promise, will you really not be ashamed to keep him?

“I already said a long time ago that you could either do it yourself or choose a beautiful girl from the pavilion to keep his heart here first. In the end, you didn’t do it yourself and refused to let the people of the pavilion get involved.

“Xiuhe has been looking forward to it for so long. Didn’t you see it? When we were discussing matters in West King Town, the hall master of the Ze Province Hall shamelessly brought up his granddaughter. But you immediately stopped him and let an outsider take the lead. What are you thinking?”

Pei Xiangjun originally thought that it was nothing. Now that she heard her sister-in-law’s scolding, she realized that what she had done was not much different from what Uncle Song did. She hesitated for a moment and sighed faintly. “Then, what do you think 1 should do?”

Madam Zhang frowned and said, “The Pacifying Heaven Cult is using a honey trap. Don’t you know how to do it? You’re still in a favorable position. Can you not play with the Pacifying Heaven Cult that’s thousands of miles away?”

“I… Sigh… 1 haven’t known Jingtang for long. It’s really hard to make a decision on such a big matter…”

Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment and said with a straight face, “If you can’t make the decision, 1’11 make the decision for you. The eldest sister-in-law is like the mother. Your brother and master are not around, so 1 should make the decision on your marriage. You didn’t even eat such a good man when he brought himself to your mouth. If your master knew about this, he might kick his coffin lid open and give you a mouthful.

“If you miss Ye Jingtang, you will regret it for the rest of your life. I will decide for you on this matter. Even if you regret it in the future, you can only scold me for poor matchmaking. At least the Red Flower Pavilion will still be able to hold on. No matter what, it’s better than him running away and the Red Flower Pavilion ending. You will regret it for the rest of your life.”

Pei Xiangjun blinked. “1… Sigh, I’ll find a chance to talk to Jingtang about this…”

While the two of them were chatting, a sound came from outside the door.

They turned around and saw Xiuhe running in through the door with the big bird in her arms. “Third Lady, Young Master Ye’s bird suddenly flew over…”

“Chirp chirp-”

When the bird saw Pei Xiangjun, it flew to the windowsill and raised its wing to point outside. “Chirp!”

Pei Xiangjun was a little confused. She stood up and held the bird as she asked, “What are you doing? Did something happen to Jingtang?”

“Chirp chirp chirp-” The bird flapped its wings and chirped, indicating: 1 just chased after the bandit and finally followed him to his lair. But when 1 returned, 1 found that Tangtang had actually gotten off work first.

I couldn’t find him at home, so 1 went to Jasper Pavilion. 1 didn’t find Sister Fat-Headed Dragon there either, so I could only look for you…

Pei Xiangjun didn’t understand half a word, but she understood that something must have happened. She didn’t dare to delay and went out with the bird.

The bird was smart. It didn’t bring Pei Xiangjun directly to the place where the murderer was hiding. Instead, it went to the Anti-Crime Division’s office first.

Pei Xiangjun made some inquiries and learned that Ye Jingtang had just fought with the murderer and had gone to Imperial Physician Wang’s residence.

She really didn’t expect that he would be able to fight from morning to night on his first day back. Worried, she quickly rushed to Literary Virtue Bridge.

The breeze parted the clouds, revealing the silver moon and starlight.

Pei Xiangjun hurried to the medical clinic and found the carriage of the Prince of Jing Estate parked not far away. She hesitated a little.

But Jingtang might be seriously injured since the Prince of Jing had come.

After much thought, Pei Xiangjun finally brought the bird to the entrance of the clinic.

It wasn’t too late. Occasionally, members of the wealthy families of Literary Virtue Bridge would come to seek medical treatment. The guards of the Black Office nearby didn’t stop the woman when they saw her walking toward the clinic.

Pei Xiangjun walked to the door. Before she entered, she vaguely heard a sentence.

“… Pretend to know nothing. Wait until he goes to get close to you, then reluctantly…”

?

Pei Xiangjun recognized Madam Wang’s voice and was a little puzzled. She stuck her head out to take a look.

She saw Madam Wang standing at a corner of the medicine cabinets, talking to someone in a low voice.

Opposite Madam Wang was a cold and beautiful woman. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were rather eye-catching…

Isn’t she Jingtang1 s…

No! Isn’t she the cult mistress of the Pacifying Heaven Cult?

Pei Xiangjun’s expression froze for a moment, but she immediately regained her senses. There was a strange look in her eyes.

The bird was very enthusiastic. It stuck its head out from the corner of the door and raised its wings. “Chirp-”

There was silence inside and outside the clinic.

Madam Wang turned around and was slightly surprised. “Miss Pei, why are you here alone so late at night? Is there an emergency at home?”

Luo Ning’s heart trembled when she suddenly bumped into Third Lady. She wanted to act like a gentle little wife, but she felt that something was wrong…

Overnight, Xiangjun’s hair turned gray…

If I’m his fiancee, then this female boss should be my love rival…

Luo Ning’s heart raced. She put on a neither servile nor overbearing attitude and nodded. “Third Lady, are you here to visit Jingtang?”

When Pei Xiangjun saw that the cult mistress didn’t know her identity in the Red Flower Pavilion, she immediately felt much more at ease. She walked into the hall with a dignified bearing, as if she was an elder coming to visit her nephew. “Miss Ning’er, you’re here too. Madam Wang, Jingtang is the young master of my family. 1 heard that something happened, so 1 came to visit…”

Mrs. Wang really didn’t know Ye Jingtang’s family background. She said in surprise, “Is that so? I was wondering which family raised such a handsome man. So he’s the young master of Heavenly Water Bridge. Young Master Ye is fine. The old master is performing acupuncture. You two chat first.”

Since Miss Ning’er had met an in-law, Madam Wang naturally couldn’t stand here and chat. She immediately left the hall of the medical clinic.

Pei Xiangjun folded her hands at her waist and walked to Luo Ning unhurriedly, her eyes full of concern. “Miss Ning’er, why are you dressed like this? Did you and Jingtang go out to do something just now?”

“Yes. Um… Third Lady, why are you here?”

“The bird flew over to find me, so I came here.” Pei Xiangjun was a little curious. She looked around the back of the clinic and asked, “The Prince of Jing is also here. Did you meet her just now?”

“Hmm?” Luo Ning really didn’t notice the princess was here. She went to the door to check and found the carriage of the Prince of Jing Estate parked on the street.

Luo Ning’s current identity was love rivals with the princess!

And her true identity was even more outrageous. One was the emperor’s sister, and the other was the wife of a rebel leader. If they bumped into each other, it would be a fight to the death.

For this reason, Luo Ning didn’t dare to stay for long. She thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t see the princess. Uhm… Jingtang is inside. He’ll probably come out soon. I’m a woman from Jianghu, so I don’t dare to disturb the princess. Why don’t 1 go back first while you wait here?”

Pei Xiangjun knew that the cult mistress didn’t dare to see the princess. Although she really wanted to teach the cult mistress a lesson for poaching, she was afraid that her identity would be exposed and Luo Ning would settle scores with her. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it and said very understandingly, “Then, Miss Ning’er, be careful on the way. Hmm… What is this?”

Pei Xiangjun looked at the medicine box in Luo Ning’s hand.

?!

Luo Ning, who was about to run away, stiffened and pretended to be calm. “It’s the medicine Madam Wang prescribed for Jingtang to recuperate his body…”

Pei Xiangjun nodded in understanding and naturally reached out to take the medicine box. “Really? I’ll give it to Jingtang later.”

Luo Ning held the small medicine box, not wanting to let go at all.

Unexpectedly, Third Lady was quite domineering. With a clean pull, she took away the medicine box.

“Huh?” Luo Ning was shocked. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Pei Xiangjun thought that the cult mistress was treating her as a love rival who was ‘scrambling to serve her lover’. A little unhappy, she put the medicine box into her sleeve and asked, “Miss Ning’er, is there anything else?”

I’m fine, but I’m afraid something will happen to you…

Luo Ning’s eyes widened. She felt very strange. She wanted to say that this was a medicine to liven things up, but if her love rival in front of her found out that she had asked Madam Wang to prescribe this medicine, she didn’t know what Pei Xiangjun would think of her.

Luo Ning hesitated again and again, but in the end, she didn’t dare to explain. She only reminded tactfully, “This medicine was prescribed by Madam Wang. I haven’t asked about its usage and effects yet. Uhm… Third Lady, you must listen to the doctor’s advice first. I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Luo Ning quickly ran away.

Pei Xiangjun felt that the cult mistress was a little strange, but she didn’t take it to heart. She went to the back of the medical clinic and found Madam Wang, who was busy, and asked, “Madam Wang, how should we use this medicine?”

Madam Wang was packing up dried medicinal herbs when she turned around and saw the small medicine box in Pei Xiangjun’s hand. She was slightly stunned. Miss Ning’er is also foolish. How can she leave this kind of thing to someone else? Isn’t it aggrieving enough to have the Prince of Jing suppressing her?

But after all, this was someone else’s family matter, so Madam Wang couldn’t say anything. She only explained softly, “One pill at a time. It will take effect in half an hour.”

“Oh…”
