Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 258: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (17)

The next morning, before Pei Sizhe opened his eyes, the pain in his body had already invaded his brain, and he lay on the bed grimacing and screaming in pain.

After relieving the piercing pain in his neck and waist, Pei Sizhe suddenly felt something was wrong. He remembered that he had an appointment with the Ninth Concubine last night, and he was about to succeed, but before he could do anything, he was ambushed by the despicable villain behind him.

Thinking of this, Pei Sizhe's hairs stood up, and he quickly called someone in, "How did I get back last night?"

"Second Young Master, it was Adjutant Liu who brought you back yesterday. He said you were drunk outside...sleeping on the street, and then he brought you back."

The little maid stared at Pei Sizhe's incredulous look and repeated what Adjutant Liu said yesterday.

Pei Sizhe's heart suddenly sank, and his heart finally died.

He pounded the bed several times in annoyance, thinking bitterly in his heart, it would have been okay if anyone saw it, he could still find a way to silence them, but why did it have to be that evil Pei Jingmo.

This was over. If Pei Jingmo told the Marshal about this, his father would break his legs. Even if he didn't tell him, he would definitely use this as a handle to threaten him!

He waved his hand weakly to let them go, and leaned on the bed thinking about how to deal with the situation.

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to go out and hide for a while.

By the time Marshal Pei's adjutant came to call people to discuss the matter, Pei Sizhe had already slipped away, enduring the pain.

Pei Shichang's face was terribly gloomy, and he looked at Wen Shuqin with a sharp gaze. His second son's behavior today was all due to his being spoiled by his own mother.

But when he thought of what he wanted to say, Pei Shichang waved his hand and didn't bother to mention the rebellious son. Then he said in a deep voice: "I asked you to come today because someone from Wancheng is coming. There will be a welcoming banquet at the provincial capital hotel the day after tomorrow. Senior military and political officials will go with their families. The first wife will go with me then."

Then he glanced at the concubines again. Each of them had an excited look on their faces and looked at the Marshal expectantly.

Hearing Wancheng, Ruan Guannan's heart moved, and he looked up and happened to meet Pei Shichang's eyes. The latter smiled and said, "Ninth Concubine hasn't been out since the Marshal's Mansion, so I'll take you to have a look."

Ruan Guannan blinked his eyelashes a few times, and nodded slightly under the jealous or envious gazes around him, "Thank you, Marshal."

Pei Shichang stared at her for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wen Shuqin,

"Ninth Concubine rarely goes out. Tomorrow, ask the people in the clothing store to bring clothes to the Marshal's Mansion and let Ninth Concubine carefully choose a few pieces. The day after tomorrow is an important occasion, so you can't be careless about what you wear."

Wen Shuqin had a heart attack, but due to the majestic gaze of the Marshal, she still smiled and nodded.

"Got it. I'll arrange it later."

Ruan Guannan looked at Wen Shuqin gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

On the way back, Ruan Guannan thought secretly in his heart that it seemed that Pei Shichang had been going out early and coming back late during this period, probably to deal with the people from Wancheng.

The banquet was held in a hotel in the provincial capital, and the high-ranking military and political leaders of Jincheng were invited to welcome him. The guests could not have been small figures from Wancheng.

As for who it is, we can only find out when we attend the banquet the day after tomorrow.

At the entrance of the Provincial Capital Hotel, pairs of well-dressed people walked into the hotel gracefully and calmly. The entire street was strictly guarded by soldiers on both sides, attracting the attention of passers-by.

However, ordinary people would never dare to join in such fun.

The current situation is quite tense. Although the two factions in the north and south have always not interfered with each other and have been minding their own business, as the power of Wancheng in the south continues to expand, the various warlord forces have begun to become tense.

Jincheng and Liaocheng in the north are evenly matched. There have been constant frictions in the past two years, but no one has gained the upper hand.

The situation in the south is different. Although it is also divided into two areas, Wancheng and Sucheng, Wancheng is obviously much stronger. Judging from the actions of the Wancheng commander, it is only a matter of time before he annexes Sucheng.

Once the upper class is in turmoil, the lower class people will suffer as well. When they encounter such a big scene, they can only avoid it and watch from a distance.

In the restaurant, men and women separated and started socializing and chatting.

Military officers all wore uniform military uniforms, and politicians either wore suits or long gowns.

Most ladies like cheongsams. There are some who wear Western skirts, but not many. Generally, those who have studied abroad prefer these.

When Pei Shichang and his men walked in, the people who were talking stopped and gathered around to greet them.

It can be seen that in this world, those who hold guns have the final say.

Pei Shichang felt happy to be complimented. He had worked his way up from the bottom, and even though he was a rough man, now that he had been in officialdom for so many years, he had become smooth and adept at dealing with people in political circles.

Wen Lishan, the director of the Finance Department, and his wife also came up to greet him. Pei Shichang's smile became more genuine, and he said in a clear voice, "Father-in-law, how are you these days?"

Wen Lishan nodded kindly, "I'm fine."

When Wen Shuqin saw her parents, her mood improved a lot. She took Pei Yue's hand and went to talk to Mrs. Wen.

As soon as Wen Shuqin and Pei Yue left, the figure that was hidden by them was revealed.

Wen Lishan's eyes paused, and after seeing the woman's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but scream in his heart, when did this kid Pei Jingmo get married?

It's not his fault for misunderstanding. Because of the team-standing issue, Pei Jingmo and Ruan Guannan both followed behind Pei Shichang and Wen Shuqin, and the two of them stood side by side.

Moreover, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The moment they walked in, the whole hall seemed to become brighter.

Especially the girl, who was wearing a light green short-sleeved cheongsam that fit her body exceptionally well, with an arc-shaped waistline that made her look slim and slender.

Half of her thick black hair was draped over her shoulders, and the other half was tied up with a light green lace headband of the same color. She looked like a lotus just emerging from water.

But what is more outstanding than her clothes is her appearance.

The facial features are delicate and eye-catching, bright and eye-catching, and the beauty is very aggressive. Logically speaking, a person with such appearance should be a charming and glamorous beauty.

But her dress and personality seem somewhat inconsistent with her enchanting looks. She looks well-behaved and gentle, and smiles shyly, which makes it easy for people to let down their guard.

Wen Lishan withdrew his gaze. No wonder it was so quiet just now. Everyone was whispering to each other. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. If he could be twenty years younger, he would probably have some improper thoughts.

He raised his head and gestured to Pei Shichang. He was about to ask when Pei Jingmo's marriage would be arranged, but Pei Shichang saw his gaze, smiled and nodded, and introduced:

"The ninth concubine who came into the mansion some time ago."

He didn't say much else. It was somewhat inappropriate to introduce his concubine in front of his father-in-law. If Wen Lishan hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have said it.

Ruan Guannan nodded politely as a greeting, and Wen Lishan came to his senses and sighed in his heart.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the Marshal's concubine. Although it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in that era, Shuqin was his daughter after all. With such a beauty appearing by the Marshal's side, he couldn't help but worry about his daughter.

At the same time, I also felt a little emotional. Pei Shichang is really lucky...
