After the favored concubine remarried, the aloof and powerful minister forcibly took her away.

Chapter 27 If you want to sleep, shut up.

Originally, it was Xiang Ning's turn to keep watch tonight, so Cheng Hua didn't need to stand guard at the door.

In the middle of the night, Chenghua was half asleep when he saw a light on outside and said that the master wanted to use water.

Now Chenghua was completely awake. Water?
For some reason, Cheng Hua got dressed, stood up, and went to the door of Pei Yanzhi's room. Sure enough, it was the same.

If water is needed at this time, then it must be Xingxiang Ning.

This Xiang Ning is indeed very capable.

Chenghua yawned and had a servant carry the water to Pei Yanzhi's room.

He and the other servants stepped aside.

Xiang Ning was still a little dazed inside the room, her small face flushed red, like the rosy clouds at sunset.

The servant had just moved the water to the side, and Xiang Ning was about to get up, supporting herself.

The old lady had sent Kang Mama over once before to teach her the proper etiquette: get up, wash, and then use the contraceptive decoction.

When Kang's mother came last time, she left some contraceptive soup. I'll go and cook a bowl of it later.

As soon as Xiang Ning got off the bed, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Pei Yanzhi, who had just returned from a bath, heard the commotion and went to help her.

"pain?"

He frowned and asked this question, and Xiang Ning blushed upon hearing it.

Pei Yanzhi himself did not realize how much effort he had used, but Xiang Ning truly felt it.

"No, it's just that I'm physically weak."

Xiang Ning's arm was being held by Pei Yanzhi, and her fingers were trembling slightly, so it seemed she couldn't get up.

Pei Yanzhi was silent for a moment, then reached out his other hand and lifted Xiang Ning up in his arms.

He was skilled in martial arts and possessed extraordinary strength. He lifted her up with one hand and used his other hand to pull off his coat to cover Xiang Ning.

"Don't force yourself if you can't get up."

As he spoke, he carried the person to a place separated by a screen outside, where someone had already changed the water.

Xiang Ning was covered with Pei Yanzhi's outer garment, and her arms were around his neck.

"I can do it myself."

After Pei Yanzhi put the person into the bathtub, Xiang Ning's face turned even redder.

After all, he was only wearing one piece of clothing, and Xiang Ning could sense his reaction when he walked.

Is this person never going to stop?

"I'm afraid you'll fall and die in the bathtub."

Pei Yanzhi looked at her, who seemed to want to hide her entire body in the water, and her eyes held a hint of shyness as she looked at him.

Sometimes, she's quite cute.

He bent down, revealing the scratches on his body.

"Master?"

"If you want to sleep, shut up."

Pei Yanzhi sighed softly and reached out to help her tidy her long hair, which was wet with water.

Xiang Ning felt nervous and unconsciously pursed her lips. Just as she raised her head, a kiss followed.

Pei Yanzhi, unaware of the effects of the poison, heard a splash as Xiang Ning thrashed about underwater.

They didn't stop until dawn.

Cheng Hua and several servants stood guard outside, not daring to leave for even a moment, for fear that Pei Yanzhi inside would call for help.

It seems we'll need to have two more people on night watch from now on, so the master can find us.

The next day, when Pei Yanzhi got up, Xiang Ning was still asleep.

She stayed up too late last night and her voice was hoarse, so it was rare for him to comfort her.

The word "Ning'er" escaped his lips, tinged with a hint of restraint, yet also somewhat hoarse and lost in thought. He stood at the head of the bed, dressed, and then turned to look at Xiang Ning, who was sleeping on the bed.

The girl had red marks on her face from being pressed down while she was asleep.

His eyes were dark as he turned around and adjusted her sleeping position to make her more comfortable.

After Pei Yanzhi left the house, he said to Bitao, who was guarding the door, "There's nothing else to do today, so let her sleep."

Bitao naturally replied with a smile, "This servant understands."

After leaving those words, Pei Yanzhi departed.

The commotion at Mosong Garden last night naturally reached the attention of Old Madam Pei.

After all, this was the first time Chenghua and his team had properly handled something like this, and they were in a flurry of activity, causing quite a few problems.

Madam Pei didn't think it was a big deal, but Madam Pei had a long face first thing in the morning.

The reason Xiang Ning was sent there was twofold: firstly, because Pei Yanzhi personally came to ask for her, and secondly, because Xiang Ning was relatively honest.

But now, Madam Pei only feels that she made a mistake in this matter; these maids are used to seducing people.

In the middle of the night, she's keeping her master awake, doing this kind of thing.

“Bijun, Yanzhi is at the age of youthful vigor. It’s human nature, and it’s not a bad thing. I’ll send an old woman over later to set some rules for that girl.”

Madam Pei didn't need to ask any more questions to know what Madam Pei was thinking.

I've never seen her, as a mother, be particularly enthusiastic about her son's affairs.

When something bad happens, they tend to make a big deal out of it.

She realized that Qin Bijun loved herself more than her son, fearing that her carefully cultivated good reputation would be ruined.

Madam Pei glanced at Qin Bijun with impatience.

"Alright, you two can go back now. I'm tired and need to rest."

After saying that, Madam Pei raised her hand and gestured for the two of them to return to their respective courtyards.

The two stood up, bowed to Madam Pei, and then left.

“Mother Kang, please let Mother Fang go to Mosong Garden to serve him. She watched Yanzhi grow up since he was a child. She is a steady and honest person, and I trust her.”

“Tell her that no matter what Yanzhi thinks, no illegitimate children are allowed to be born before the bride enters the household.”

Madam Pei said something harsh.

The Pei family's reputation must not be ruined because of a mere maid.

Yan was young, and for more than twenty years before that, he had never had a woman to serve him. So when they first met, it was inevitable that he couldn't control himself.

This is his own business, and Madam Pei won't interfere. However, she absolutely will not allow any child born to a concubine to be born before he marries.

"I understand, I'll go tell Mama Fang right away."

Madam Kang bowed and agreed, and then heard Old Madam Pei say, "Send someone to deliver a message to my good-for-nothing eldest son. If he doesn't acknowledge me as his mother and doesn't acknowledge the Pei family, he should never come back in this lifetime."

“I’m old, how much longer can I take care of them? Tell me, why is he so troublesome?”

Thinking of these sad things, Madam Pei felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Kang's mother quickly brought over the medicine and gave it to her, comforting her and telling her not to get angry.

Every family has its own troubles, so who can you blame but yourself?

At this moment, in the second room, Dong Yan had just returned to the courtyard when she encountered an unexpected person.

"Second Miss, please walk slowly."

"I've only been at my maternal grandfather's house for two months, and this has happened. Where is that vixen? Bring me a stick, I'll beat her to death!"

The girl's voice was decisive and efficient, almost exactly like Dong Yan's.

Upon hearing this voice, Dong Yan smiled helplessly.

“Yuan Rong, why are you still in such a hurry? If your father sees this, he will get angry again.”
