Chapter 265: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (24)
Every once in a while, the Marshal's Mansion would hold a fixed family dinner, and everyone would gather in the main courtyard to eat together.
Ruan Guannan saw the pregnant eighth concubine, her belly was slightly protruding, and she was already showing her pregnancy. Pei Shichang obviously had a crush on her baby. After all, he had many women over the years, but only had two sons and one daughter. It was not known whether Wen Shuqin was very capable or Pei Shichang was unable to do so.
When the Eighth Concubine became pregnant this time, Pei Shichang looked very pleased with himself and protected her like the apple of his eye.
Wen Shuqin didn't have the energy to get angry for the time being. Her father had just died, and those who had been trying to curry favor with the Wen family had all started looking for better opportunities elsewhere. The Wen family's status in Jincheng had visibly declined.
If the Wen family and the Marshal's Mansion were originally close allies, then after Wen Lishan's death, the Wen family became dependent on the Marshal's Mansion. How could the always arrogant Wen Shuqin tolerate this?
At the same time, she was also very flustered. Although she didn't want to admit it, Pei Shichang's respect and love for her was largely due to the status of the Wen family in Jincheng, so she was very confident in front of Pei Shichang.
Now, the only ones she can rely on are probably her two children.
Wen Shuqin's smile was forced, and Pei Shichang was not in a good mood either, so everyone was very quiet during the meal and no one dared to make trouble.
We persisted until the second half, and just when everyone thought it was over and were ready to breathe a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened.
A little maid ran to the dining room of the main courtyard and said urgently to Pei Shichang and Wen Shuqin at the table, "Marshal, Madam, something bad has happened, the Second Young Master... Something has happened to the Second Young Master..."
After he finished speaking, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and it was obvious that he was frightened.
"What? What happened to Sizhe?"
Wen Shuqin's voice was a little sharp. She stood up suddenly, and the chair was almost knocked to the ground because of her large movement.
Pei Shichang's already bad mood became even worse. He threw his chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "What's wrong with him?"
The maid suppressed her fear and said tremblingly, "Cai Die...Cai Die used...force on the Second Young Master, the Second Young Master..."
Even though it was spoken intermittently, everyone roughly understood what was going on. It was because they understood that they were even more shocked and unbelievable, but most of them were laughing at the joke of Wen Shuqin and Shen Yin.
Wen Shuqin was almost fainted from anger. After she came to her senses, she ran directly to Pei Sizhe's yard. Pei Shichang's face was also clouded with gloom. He didn't want to see that rebellious son now, so he directly sent his adjutant to check the situation.
This family dinner also ended in a bad mood. Everyone pretended to be worried and returned to their own homes, but they were secretly waiting for the joke to happen over there.
Before going to bed, Xiaoyu asked Ruan Guannan about the result.
It turned out that Caidie took advantage of the time when Pei Sizhe was kicked and unable to move, and wanted to climb into Pei Sizhe's bed under the pretext of taking care of him, in order to make the matter a fait accompli.
But Caidie didn’t seem to be in her right mind for some reason. She was too anxious and accidentally broke Pei Sizhe’s penis!!!
In the end, Caidie was beaten to death by the furious Wen Shuqin.
After listening to this, Ruan Guannan felt that it was a bit dramatic, but she felt very happy. She had originally planned to kill Pei Sizhe the next time he left the Marshal's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Pei Sizhe had such a good fortune waiting for him. For a lustful beast like Pei Sizhe who is rotten to the core, making him inhumane and without descendants is indeed the best retribution for him.
After hearing the news, Ruan Guannan felt much better and had a dreamless night.
Shen Yin also slept soundly.
After dealing with the remaining drug residue, Shen Yin lay on the bed looking at the dark ceiling, tears silently sliding down from the corners of her eyes.
No one knew better than her why Caidie would impulsively do such a thing. The credit naturally came from the Chinese medicine that Shen Yin personally prepared.
Everyone only knew that she was a country girl who was not presentable, but no one knew that her grandfather was a famous country doctor.
Shen Yin also learned Chinese medicine from her grandfather since she was a child. Although she can’t say she is very good at it, she has some experience.
She secretly prepared a strong dose of tiger and wolf medicine and pretended it was a medicinal diet for nourishing the body. Caidie wanted to get close to the second young master and have a child, so she drank the bowl of stuff secretly herself. Unexpectedly, it sent herself to death.
It was the first time that Shen Yin hurt someone, and she was still a little scared. But when she thought about what had happened to her, the anger in her heart finally dissipated a little, and the worthless guilt soon faded away.
In the next few days, Wen Shuqin kept asking for doctors in the mansion like crazy, both Chinese and Western doctors, but Pei Shichang turned a blind eye and let her do whatever she wanted.
After all, he is the son whom she has loved for so many years. Even if she is disappointed in him, she does not want him to be without descendants.
However, since then, Pei Shichang has paid more attention to the child in the eighth concubine's belly and asked about her condition three times a day.
Ruan Guannan felt a little puzzled. Even if Pei Sizhe was useless, there was still an excellent heir like Pei Jingmo. Logically, Pei Shichang should pay more attention to his eldest son.
Now, he attaches great importance to the fetus in the eighth concubine's belly, whose gender is unknown. This makes Ruan Guannan think about something.
Thinking of Pei Jingmo, Ruan Guannan's heart moved slightly.
Ever since he was injured a few days ago, the two haven't seen each other. Pei Jingmo did not attend the family dinner either. It seems that he was seriously injured.
In fact, Pei Jingmo was indeed recuperating in the Bailou.
Although Ruan Guannan did not hit the vital part, she stabbed very deep. Otherwise, Pei Jingmo, who has always had an excellent body, would not have almost fainted from excessive blood loss that day.
When Adjutant Liu saw him walking out of the Ninth Concubine's yard covered in blood, he was so scared that he almost rushed in with a gun, but was stopped by Pei Jingmo's cold face.
When a doctor was secretly invited to bandage the young marshal's wound, Adjutant Liu couldn't help but feel resentful towards Ruan Guannan.
After all, in his heart, the Young Marshal has always been the one he swore to follow until death. Now he has been hurt like this by a person of a different identity. If Pei Jingmo hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to arrest the Ninth Concubine and give her a thorough interrogation.
But what shocked him even more was that even though she had already decided to kill him, the young marshal was still protecting her!
It seems that the young marshal is really going to be in trouble this time because of the ninth concubine. What a disaster!
