Chapter 272: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (31)
"You damn bitch, give me back my daughter! My Yue'er..."
Wen Shuqin had completely lost the dignity and decorum of a Marshal's wife, and she cried heart-wrenchingly at the charred corpse on the ground. The corpse had a bracelet on its wrist, and the wife recognized it at the first sight, and it was because she recognized it that she became even more devastated.
Marshal Pei also suddenly looked much older, with an obvious decadence and heaviness on his face, and his usually upright back was bent.
After all, Pei Yue was his only daughter, and he had loved her for several years. How could Pei Shichang not be sad?
Wen Shuqin's crying kept echoing in the room, making everyone present feel a little depressed.
At this time, Pei Shichang's adjutant came over and reported: "Marshal, the ninth concubine...she was not rescued."
Pei Jingmo lowered his eyes and glanced at the corpse being carried over. There was no emotion in his eyes. He was the only one who knew that this was just a death row prisoner in the prison who had a similar body shape to Ruan Guannan.
So, there was another corpse in the yard. It was so charred that its original appearance could not be seen. It was hard to believe that she was the overly beautiful Ninth Concubine.
Pei Shichang took a deep breath and stared at the body of "Ruan Guannan" for a long time. He closed his eyes tightly and suppressed his rage and ordered:
"Throw Shen Yin's body into the mass grave and feed it to the dogs!"
Wen Shuqin's eyes were red with hatred. She pulled out the gun of the adjutant next to her and fired several shots at Shen Yin's body on the ground. She did not stop until she ran out of bullets and the body was turned into briquettes.
Wen Shuqin's crazy look frightened the women at the scene, and they quickly took several steps back, fearing that they would be implicated by her.
Pei Shichang didn't say anything, just waved his hand and asked his subordinates to carry it away.
The next day, white banners were hung in the Marshal's Mansion and a funeral was held for Pei Yue.
As for the ninth concubine, Ruan Guannan, Pei Shichang really liked her, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about her from time to time. He also considered her health many times and did not force her.
He felt very uncomfortable because such a beautiful woman as a flower died in such an undignified way in the Marshal's Mansion.
Even so, he did not break the rules to set up a mourning hall for her. He just stayed in the room next to Pei Yue for a few days, and then a thin coffin would be enough for her.
When the senior officials of Jincheng learned of the sudden news, they all brought their families to the Marshal's Mansion to pay their respects.
They didn't know what exactly happened. Pei Shichang had asked Pei Jingmo to block the news. They just came to comfort her with a sad face and pretended to do so. However, the group of people who had been good friends with Pei Yue during her lifetime were truly sad for her.
Liu Mengmeng was one of them. Because her family had frequent contacts with the Marshal's Mansion, she obviously knew more than those present, and she also learned the news of Ruan Guannan's death.
She had been holding back her tears the whole way, but when she reached the next room, she could no longer hold it back and cried bitterly.
Although she and Ruan Guannan had only known each other for a short time, she had a great liking for Ruan Guannan. The two had a lot of interactions after they met, and she had long regarded her as her most important friend.
She didn't expect that after not seeing her for just over ten days, the next time she saw her would be when she heard the news of her death.
Liu Mengmeng's eyes were red and swollen from crying. After lighting a stick of incense for Ruan Guannan, she prepared to leave with the Liu family.
Before leaving the Marshal's Mansion, she was stopped by someone. Liu Mengmeng didn't have the energy to deal with others now, so she said to Pei Sizhe in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"
Pei Sizhe wanted to show some concern and try to bring them closer. After all, they were already engaged, and it would be bad to be as distant as before. But seeing her impatient expression, Pei Sizhe's face turned unhappy.
However, his "little childhood sweetheart" is getting more and more beautiful now, Pei Sizhe still likes her, and patiently comforts her:
"I know you have a good relationship with Yueyue. You must feel sad when such a big thing happened to her."
It is impossible for anyone to remain indifferent after losing two friends at the same time. Liu Mengmeng hung her head and said nothing.
"As Yueyue's brother, I feel very bad too. I see your eyes are swollen from crying. If you really can't let it go, wait until I'm done with Yueyue's affairs and then I'll take you out to relax."
Pei Sizhe invited her, and he was sure that Liu Mengmeng would agree. He was quite confident in his own charm.
Liu Mengmeng looked at him carefully and felt that Pei Sizhe had changed a lot compared to a few years ago. Although he tried his best to show his steadiness and edge, he still couldn't hide the frivolousness in his bones.
Liu Mengmeng no longer had any good feelings towards him. She shook her head and rejected his proposal. "No, you're usually very busy. I won't bother you."
After saying that, she turned and left, deciding in her heart to renegotiate the engagement with her family.
Pei Sizhe looked at her back as she left, his face completely gloomy, and he was a little angry at Liu Mengmeng for being ungrateful.
But when I think about my current situation, the big brother above me is excellent in every way and very popular.
Not only did he lose his grandfather who was the director of the Finance Department, but his physical body was also damaged by that bitch, leaving him with a manly foundation. Although he had gotten better after treatment, he was still affected.
Now even his fiancée has to give him a cold shoulder. If it weren't for the fact that she is quite pretty and comes from a wealthy family, he would have ignored her long ago.
Pei Sizhe kicked the pillar next to him angrily, but the force was so great that he grimaced in pain, and even his originally handsome face became distorted and gloomy.
He turned and walked towards the mourning hall, thinking about how to win over Liu Mengmeng and make her family become his helpers.
The more he thought about it, the more he blamed others. He blamed his grandfather for dying so miserably, blamed Wen Shuqin for not being loved by his father, and even blamed his father for letting Pei Jingmo grow up and crush him...
Unfortunately, what Pei Sizhe didn't know was that if Pei Shichang hadn't sent people to protect his yard, Shen Yin was actually going to kill him and Pei Yue together. She had secretly prepared enough cooking oil, and wanted to take this opportunity to take the two people who harmed her to hell together.
Unfortunately, Pei Sizhe's yard was guarded by someone, so even if a fire was set, it would be put out quickly. So they had no choice but to attack Pei Yue first, and Pei Sizhe also escaped.
These grudges also came to an end with the deaths of Shen Yin and Pei Yue. Pei Sizhe, the scourge, is still alive and well, thinking about how to replace Pei Jingmo.
However, Pei Jingmo didn't take this trash who was not even an opponent seriously from beginning to end. Only Pei Sizhe was jumping around happily.
When Pei Jingmo finished his work and returned to Bailou, Ruan Guannan had already gone to bed early.
He asked Xiaoyu in detail about Ruan Guannan's activities today, and found that she was not affected much, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Jingmo walked lightly to take a look. Looking at her sleeping face, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He leaned over and lifted the corner of her quilt, then gently stroked her abdomen through the quilt with his big hand, and then tiptoed back to the next room.
……
Hey, good night~
