Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 252: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (11)

On the night Pei Shichang returned, the eldest wife carefully arranged a family dinner to welcome him and his son.

"Marshal, is the journey smooth?"

The eldest wife, Wen Shuqin, had obvious worry on her face as she looked back and forth between Pei Shichang and Pei Sizhe.

The sternness on Pei Shichang's face also eased a little. After all, they had been married for many years, and he was still very grateful for the care of the first wife. He patted her hand and said in a warm voice:

"It went very smoothly, don't worry."

Then he followed her gaze and saw Pei Sizhe. Thinking of the joke he had made in the border area, his face, which had finally relaxed, darkened again.

Pei Sizhe shrank his shoulders, a trace of fear on his handsome face. He lowered his head in embarrassment and dared not say a word.

The first wife keenly sensed that something was wrong between the father and son. She was afraid that Sizhe had done something to make the Marshal angry again, and she was a little anxious.

But she absolutely could not let her son lose face in front of a room full of concubines, so she suppressed her thoughts and did not say anything.

When Pei Shichang passed by Pei Jingmo, he patted him on the shoulder, said nothing, and went straight into the hall.

Pei Jingmo's face remained cold and indifferent as he followed Pei Shichang inside, causing Pei Sizhe to roll his eyes.

Since he was a child, he had a lot of dissatisfaction with this older brother who was seven years older than him. He had a dead look on his face all day long and was so cold that it could freeze a person to death.

What made him most angry was that the way he looked at himself was as if he was looking at some unpresentable garbage, and he wanted to get rid of it in the next second.

So he disliked this eldest brother very much, but at the same time he was very afraid of him.

But so what?

No matter how outstanding he is, doesn't his father still value him as the second son more?

His father always took him to every important occasion, and the position of young marshal would be his sooner or later.

Whenever facing Pei Jingmo, Pei Sizhe feels superior.

Pei Jingmo fought so hard to get something, and his father would give it to him just by moving his fingers! So when facing Pei Jingmo, how could he not be proud?

Pei Sizhe's thoughts were interrupted by the pain in his waist. His face was distorted in pain and he glared angrily at Pei Yue beside him.

Pei Yue ignored his angry look and whispered in his ear:

"Why were you glaring at me just now? Can you please stop hating people who are better than you?"

Pei Sizhe was almost pissed off to death by his own sister. From a long time ago, this sister had always been very nice to Pei Jingmo and always looked down upon him as her brother. She was really an ungrateful person who couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong.

The conflict between the brother and sister later did not attract everyone's attention. The women in the room were busy trying to show their courtesy to the Marshal. A large group of women surrounded a man and asked him about his well-being. The scene was ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.

Ruan Guannan did not go over, but was quietly blocked by a group of women behind him, without fighting or competing.

But unable to resist the thought that someone was thinking about her, Marshal Pei glanced among the crowd several times before he finally found his beautiful ninth concubine in the corner.

Seeing that she was being excluded by a group of women and couldn't get close to him, Marshal Pei felt very pity for her and waved his hand to signal someone to come over.

Ruan Guannan was stunned. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she hesitated for a moment, walked to the Marshal obediently, and said softly:

"Commander."

Pei Shichang looked at her with a smile, and the more he looked, the more fascinated he became.

Although she was not dressed very extravagantly, her pretty face alone was far superior to others. The key point was that she had a bright and charming appearance, but she was a well-behaved and timid person, which made Pei Shichang miss her even more.

Thinking that he hadn't tasted her yet, he felt itchy in his heart. He reached out and took the woman's hand, pulling her and preparing to let her sit next to him.

But before she could sit down, her body was suddenly pushed away by someone. She was caught off guard and took a few steps back, and was unexpectedly bumped into a hard chest.

The man subconsciously held her waist, and after she stood firmly, he withdrew his arm indifferently, as if he was just giving her a support.

Pei Shichang looked at the ignorant Eighth Concubine in front of him, frowned slightly, and just when he was about to open his mouth to scold her, the Eighth Concubine hugged his arm like a spoiled child.

"Marshal, you've been gone for so many days, I miss you, don't you miss me?"

After all, she was his beloved concubine, and he would not embarrass her in front of so many people. His unhappy expression eased a little, but he still opened his mouth and scolded her lightly.

"Behave yourself, it's outrageous."

After saying that, he looked up and saw that Ruan Guannan had already taken a seat, so he didn't say anything else.

Ruan Guannan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She had originally planned to keep Pei Shichang hanging for a while, letting him take notice of her, and then secretly planned to get rid of him.

Otherwise, Pei Shichang has people protecting him all the time, and he won't be able to escape unscathed just by killing himself. He has to make her trust him.

But plans can never keep up with changes, and she didn't expect Pei Jingmo to be a variable. She was worried that Pei Jingmo would disrupt her plans, so she didn't plan to leave Pei Shichang alone, and it would be better to act as soon as possible.

She originally wanted to follow Pei Shichang's wishes and get close to him, but the Eighth Concubine suddenly showed up halfway. Ruan Guannan could only suppress her urgent thoughts and try hard to maintain her own personality, for fear that the sensitive and indifferent man next to her would notice her abnormality.

Just as she sat down and was about to start eating, Ruan Guannan's body suddenly stiffened. She subconsciously wanted to shake off the hand that was being held under the table, but when she thought of the current situation, she held back.

Her heart sank, but she tried her best to hide the fear and panic on her face. She tried slightly to break free from the man's grip, but the man's hand held her tightly like an iron clamp.

Ruan Guannan was afraid that others would notice the abnormality between her and Pei Jingmo, so she stretched out her other hand and pinched a small piece of flesh on the back of his hand and twisted it hard, but the man remained calm, as if she had just pinched a piece of pork and didn't care at all.

Ruan Guannan did not see the slightly trembling muscles on Pei Jingmo's cheeks. She weakly let go of her hands and lowered her head to hide her anger and fear.

Seeing that she had stopped struggling, Pei Jingmo took out a handkerchief and forcefully grasped her hand, wiping it again and again. He did not lower his head to look at the scene below. While wiping his hands, he answered Pei Shichang's questions with a cold face.

In short, the mouth and hands are busy with their own things and do not interfere with each other.

After he finished wiping, he loosened his grip without Ruan Guannan struggling, allowing the little hand that had been held by someone else to escape from his palm smoothly.

Pei Jingmo folded his handkerchief calmly and put it back into his military uniform pocket nonchalantly. He was so natural that no one at the table noticed anything unusual.

After all, even if they believed that Pei Sizhe would become a loyal man one day, they could not believe that the young marshal, who always looked like he had no feelings or love, would flirt with the beautiful Ninth Aunt with a cold face in public and under the table.

But the fact happened so clearly, and no one noticed it. Even Shen Yin, who had been secretly paying attention to Pei Jingmo, did not notice anything unusual.

Shen Yin saw from the corner of her eye that his face was as indifferent as before, and she felt both excited and disappointed, and could only suppress this love deep in her heart.

Pei Yue stared at this country woman with evil intentions and did not give her any chance to show her affection to her eldest brother.

Ever since Pei Yue learned about Shen Yin and her mother's plot last time, she has always wanted to teach this ungrateful woman a lesson.

But because I had just returned to China and was often invited to parties by my sisters, I forgot about this matter for a while.

Now seeing that this bitch Shen Yin was still so evil and had been secretly spying on her eldest brother, Pei Yue wanted to drag her out and give her a beating.

She had been secretly planning to get Shen Yin out of the Marshal's Mansion. As usual, she secretly dealt with all the women who had bad intentions towards her eldest brother so that they would not dare to have any more thoughts.

Pei Yue still had a lively and pretty smile on her face, but the darkness in her heart had made her come up with countless vicious plans. The look she gave Pei Jingmo inadvertently was filled with frightening paranoia and arrogance.

She looks like a sister but isn't really a sister. But if it can be classified as a shocking liking, it doesn't seem to be that. In short, Pei Yue's feelings for Pei Jingmo are very complicated.
