Chapter 23

Perhaps it was related to the weakness of childhood, or it could be caused by anxiety. As he got older, Pei Youan's sleep became less and less. Today, although he was drowning in the wind and dust during the day, it was late at night, and he still had no sleepiness, tossing and turning, and he simply got up, a clear lamp, an old book, and when the surroundings were silent, suddenly came from the partition wall. There was a voice calling for "Save Afu". Although the sound was faint, the still water broke under the lamp. In his mind, a vague but very clear figure appeared immediately.

He could clearly identify that this call for help was sent by the cousin of the Zhen family. But it is unbelievable, how could she suddenly appear here, the partition calling herself so? When Xunsheng opened the door, he never thought that what he saw was such a scene. What made him even more unprepared was that she rushed over and hugged him.

Pei You'an clearly felt that the body in his arms was shaking slightly. After saying that, seeing her as if she hadn't heard of it, she was still holding him tightly, obviously extremely frightened.

Suddenly there was a warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms. This feeling... made him very uncomfortable, his heartbeat was a little abnormal, his breathing was not smooth, and his hands had nowhere to put, but seeing her so frightened, he couldn't bear it. Forcibly pushed her away, hesitating for a while, I had to leave her for the time being. Instead, I raised my eyes and looked at the old lady in the palace opposite, and said, "She is my cousin, who has always lived in Quanzhou. Whoever borrowed your courage to do it Because of the human trafficker's activities, she was brought here?"

He has always been gentle with people, and his emotions and anger are not visible, but at this moment, the two eyes that were cast were as sharp as electricity, and the voice was not loud, but it was implicitly harsh, and he was obviously angry.

Before Mother Zhu came out, she was instructed not to reveal the news of her trip, so she met Pei You'an at the door before, afraid of being seen by him, so she hid it immediately. I really didn't expect that even though Pei You'an was not the real brother of this Zhen family girl , but the two are actually cousins. She has been doing things for thousands of years and was planted in the hands of the little ghost. This girl looked honest, weak and timid, and not only did she set fire to almost burn herself to death, but also called Pei Youan out.

At this moment, thinking of her previous reaction when she saw Pei You'an at the door, the woman finally understood that she was completely tricked.

Madam Zhu was angry and a little flustered, she managed to calm down, moved closer, and said with a smile, "Master Pei has misunderstood, how dare I do this kind of thing? I really don't know, she is Master Pei, your cousin, just now she set fire to the house and almost burned me to death inside. Master Pei, you also saw it. I was afraid that she would disturb others and chase after her, so I became anxious. , and also invite Haihan. Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the noble person has invited the little lady, and there is no disadvantage at all, Master Pei can rest assured, please give the little lady to me."

"Which noble?" Pei You'an asked coldly.

Madam Zhu opened her mouth and closed it again. Seeing that the girl from the Zhen family hugged Pei You'an, she kept shaking her head at him, knowing that this matter was completely broken.

The name of the prince can never be mentioned, but if you don't say it, how could this Pei You'an let someone go to her? Otherwise, how will she explain it?

"Master Pei! Is something wrong with you here?"

From the leader of the corridor, the voice of the postmaster came.

In the chaos just now, this postmaster was also brought over. When he saw a fire in the direction of the upper room where the people lived in the palace, he was shocked and hurriedly called people to put it out. Fortunately, this house was not connected to other houses. It was too early, and the fire didn't spread. As soon as the fire was over, he rushed here in a hurry. Yingyingchaochao, he saw a woman clinging to Pei You'an, and the woman in the palace was also there. There seemed to be a conflict between the two sides. The situation was strange, and the Yicheng guessed that there should be a hidden relationship in the middle, and it involved the palace, which was not caused by himself, so he did not dare to approach, and only shouted across the corridor.

Madam Zhu turned her head and saw that a lot of people had gathered at the other end of the corridor. They should have been attracted by the movement just now, and their faces were a little ugly.

If things are messed up, if it is leaked out again, there is really no way to explain it.

"I have nothing to do here! It's not too early, tell the brothers to go and rest!"

Pei You'an raised his voice and responded.

Soon, there was silence at the other end of the corridor.

Madam Zhu settled down and said, "Master Pei, you have to forgive others and forgive them. You also know that I am acting under orders, so please don't be embarrassed..."

"Cousin is like my own sister. You go back and tell that noble person, I will take you away, come to me if you have something, and I will wait in Wuding Mansion."

Pei You'an interrupted her, then lowered her head, gently took down Jiafu's arms that were still around her waist, and said, "It's alright, come in with me."

Madam Zhu watched him lead the Zhen family girl and turned into the courtyard gate. As the courtyard door closed, the two of them disappeared. She touched her aching face and bit her. Gritting his teeth, he turned and walked away.

...

Jiafu's hair was unkempt, with a few streaks of soot on her face, and she held the cloak with her hands to cover her body, but even so, she still couldn't cover her two snow-white legs and a pair of naked jade feet, her toes were round and lovely. At this moment, he seemed ashamed to see people, and curled up tightly together, in addition to being embarrassed, he was a bit charming and charming.

The originally quiet room became lively because of the addition of such a girl.

Pei You'an looked away, her voice a little dry: "Do you still have clothes over there? I'll ask someone to fetch it for you first."

Although she had escaped danger, Jiafu was still in shock, and when she heard him ask about clothes, she suddenly felt the cold wind swooshing up from under her cloak. I ran away and took all my clothes away at night, the fire just now, it should have all burned out..."

Pei You settled down for a while, then took a heavy coat of his own and put it on the side. He didn't say anything, but turned his back.

Jia Fu understood, and endured the shame in her heart, walked over and took his clothes, took off the cloak that was not long enough on her body, put his clothes on the outside, closed the placket, and fastened the belt. Finally covered her feet.

She whispered, "I'm fine."

Pei You'an then turned around, glanced at her again, and then motioned for her to sit down.

Jiafu glanced at him secretly, saw that his expression had returned to his usual seriousness, and sat down obediently, with his hands on his lap, not moving.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Jiafu recounted everything from Xiao Yintang holding him out of the city to the accident outside the Mazu Temple that day. When she was talking, Pei You'an listened without interjecting. Until Jiafu finished speaking, he still didn't say a word. He just turned around and walked slowly to the window. god.

Jia Fu looked at his back, and gradually became a little uneasy in her heart.

Because of his help to her in the previous life, she took it for granted that he would also help her now.

Indeed, he just shot just as she thought, so that he finally escaped smoothly. But this is obviously not over yet, based on his position, this should also be a very embarrassing thing for him.

Jiafu bit her lip, stood up slowly, and said softly, "Big cousin, am I embarrassing you?"

Pei You'an turned around and glanced at her. Seeing her eyes wide open, she looked at him with a fixed gaze, smiled at her, and said, "It's okay. You don't have to be afraid, I have everything."

"I promise to send you home safely, and nothing like this will happen again."

He spoke again in a serious tone.
