The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan went straight out of the Princess's Mansion.

Pei Yi knew that Xie Zhichan had arranged a carriage and guards to send Jingyu back home, and he knew that she was a responsible person, so he was not worried about Jingyu. Pei Jingrou was being taken care of by Lin, so naturally he didn't need to worry about her.

It seemed that the mother and daughter wanted to watch a play at the Princess's Mansion, so Pei Yi let them go.

After getting on the carriage for the return trip, Pei Yi kept a gloomy face and glanced at Xie Zhichan from time to time. He saw that she was completely immersed in her own world, as if she was thinking about something. She didn't say a word to him for a long time, and didn't even give him a glance.

Although he knew it was unlikely, he was worried because of love. He was very upset and could not help but come up with many impossible guesses: Could it be that Ah Yuan was thinking about Lu Xiuzhu? Was her sobriety and decisiveness when she broke off the engagement all an act, and she really couldn't bear to let go of that guy? Was she still thinking about living with Lu Xiuzhu after divorcing him?

……

The atmosphere in the carriage became strange for no reason.

Suddenly, the carriage wheel accidentally ran over a large rock, causing the carriage to shake. Xie Zhichan lost her balance for a moment and was about to fall face first onto the carriage floor. Pei Yi quickly grabbed her and angrily said, "Why are you sitting still in the carriage? What on earth are you thinking about?!"

Xie Zhichan felt that Pei Yi was pulling her arm very hard, and it hurt as if her arm bones were about to break. She cried out in a low voice and said anxiously, "You hurt me!"

The moment she raised her head, she saw Pei Yi's face full of anger. She was shocked. She had never seen Pei Yi get angry before. It turned out that when he got angry, he became inexplicably manly!

Pei Yi saw the distorted expression on Xie Zhichan's face and realized that he was angry and used too much force. His anger receded and he felt guilty again. He immediately relaxed a little towards Xie Zhichan, helped her sit down, and then let go of her hand and said, "I'm sorry, let me take a look."

As he said this, he lifted up her sleeve to check.

He saw several blue finger marks on the smooth white arm. If he used more force, he might even break the bones. He couldn't help but regret it. Why could he not control his temper now?

After Xie Zhichan admired the handsome man, he came to his senses and cursed Pei Yi for being rude. He said unhappily, "I just cured you, and you want to repay me with hatred?"

Pei Yi ignored her angry words and asked, "Do you have any special medicine that can make it heal faster?"

Xie Zhichan reached his other hand into his sleeve and took out a small black bottle. Just as he was about to unscrew it, Pei Yi took the bottle away.

Seeing Xie Zhichan glaring at him, Pei Yi explained, "I'm strong, I can rub the blood clots for you and make them disappear faster."

After saying that, he unscrewed the bottle cap and poured some medicine from the small black bottle into the palm of his hand. He didn't know what the medicine was, but he felt the coolness in his palm, which was very comfortable.

He supported Xie Zhichan's arm with one hand, and with the other hand he covered the bruise with medicine and rubbed it gently.

Xie Zhichan only felt the cool sensation of the medicine stimulating her skin, and then she felt Pei Yi's rough palms caressing her skin. It was not the vigorous rubbing she expected, but a tingling and unbearable caress.

She frowned, stared at Pei Yi's serious face, and asked, "Prince, are you sure that this strength can rub the bruises away?"

Pei Yi had not expected this result. He had intended to use more force when he attacked, but when his palm landed on Xie Zhichan's arm, he felt it was as smooth as a baby's, so he unconsciously reduced his force for fear of leaving another bruise.

After being exposed by Xie Zhichan, he couldn't help but feel a little hot in his ears, so he let go of her arm and said, "You should do it yourself."

Xie Zhichan complained in his heart about why Pei Yi suddenly became so pretentious. He rolled up his sleeves, took the medicine bottle, poured some on his palm, covered the bruise, and rubbed it himself.

But then he thought: Am I being hypocritical? She was a secret agent in her previous life! What is she doing now? She needs to apply medicine and rub a little bruise?

But, being treated as a weak girl seems to be a good feeling? Maybe even a strong person needs a fulcrum.

She rubbed it while thinking about random things.

That white spot kept flashing in front of Pei Yi's eyes, causing him to turn his head away unconsciously. He turned around and saw that she was in a daze again. He became angry again and finally couldn't help asking her, "Were the words you said to Lu Xiuzhu in the rockery sincere?"

Xie Zhichan was stunned. She didn't expect that when she and Lu Xiuzhu were talking in the rockery, Pei Yi was also nearby. She felt a little guilty for some reason and asked, "How much did you hear?"

Pei Yi sneered in his heart, how much did he hear?

He stared into Xie Zhichan's eyes, stood up from the wheelchair, sat down beside her, and repeated through gritted teeth, "Divorce? Set up a daughter-in-law? Be grateful for his kindness? Think too much and live a bad life now? Live like a zombie?"

Xie Zhichan listened to Pei Yi repeating her white lotus quotes word by word, and watched his gloomy face getting closer and closer. He had a sense that something like a domineering president's forced love was about to happen. What was going on?

And he actually heard it all?

Pei Yi's face was so close to her, so close that his breath brushed against her face.

This strong sense of oppression made her feel that she had to tell the truth.

She swallowed, her neck gurgled, and said, "It's true, but I didn't mean it."

Pei Yi paused, as if the answer he longed for was right in front of him. He could see it clearly as long as he pushed away the fog. However, he was afraid to go back home, so he didn't dare to do it. After a long while, he stared into Xie Zhichan's eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xie Zhichan felt that she could not hide anything when being stared at by these eyes. Perhaps she did not want to hide it from Pei Yi in her heart and did not want to create any rift between her and Pei Yi.

She further expanded her explanation: "What I say is true, but I don't say it out of my sincerity towards anyone."

Then, she took off the hairpin that Princess Yongtai had given her, placed it on the tea table, and said, "This hairpin that Princess Yongtai had given me was originally soaked in catnip, but I washed it off with medicine. The cat slave was originally prepared for me."

Pei Yi was stunned. He had guessed at that time that Princess Yongtai must have bad intentions, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Thinking of the wound on Princess Anle's face, which would probably leave a scar forever, he immediately became angry, but was also glad that the little fox was smart enough.

Otherwise, even if he gave her both Yue Yan and He Ying, he might not be able to guard against the beast that might rush out from nowhere.

He continued to stare at Xie Zhichan, knowing that she had more to say, and waited for her next words.

Xie Zhichan continued, "They wanted to disfigure me in this way, so I certainly couldn't let them off easy. To completely destroy a person, you have to take away what she cherishes most. For Princess Anle, Lu Xiuzhu is her most precious thing, and I said those words deliberately for Lu Xiuzhu to hear."

After saying that, she stared at Pei Yi's face, and she was actually afraid that Pei Yi had misjudged her and really regarded her as a green tea or white lotus.

Fortunately, Pei Yi did not show any strange expression on his face. Instead, the oppressive feeling emanating from him immediately dissipated.

He asked, "So you said those words deliberately for Lu Xiuzhu to hear? Just to annoy Princess Anle?" As if he was just confirming something.

Xie Zhichan nodded obediently for no reason.

She always felt that the answer to this question could only be yes, otherwise the big dog in front of her that had just been combed would instantly turn into a wolf.

Pei Yi finally felt relieved.

The little fox is such a smart person. If she says this, Lu Xiuzhu will still have expectations for her, and Princess Anle will not be able to get Lu Xiuzhu's whole heart.

For Princess Yongtai, Princess Anle is her treasure. If she hurts Princess Anle's heart, Princess Yongtai will not be happy.

However, when he thought of Lu Xiuzhu's thoughts, Pei Yi's eyes darkened for a moment.

He then asked, "How did you let the raccoon slave who was supposed to attack you scratch Princess Anlu instead?"

Xie Zhichan smiled slyly, pointing at the hairpin that Princess Yongtai had given him on the tea table, and said, "I used a potion to wash off the catnip smell on this hairpin when no one was around. I found another hairpin, smeared a potion that would excite cats on it, and gave it to Princess Anle through Lu Xiuzhu."

Pei Yi asked worriedly, "Will the potion you used be discovered?"

Xie Zhichan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, my lord. The potion I used is colorless and odorless. Even if all the doctors in Dajin searched, they couldn't find any flaws. Besides, that hairpin was put on Princess Anle by Lu Xiuzhu himself. Princess Anle wouldn't suspect that Lu Xiuzhu wanted to harm her."

After a pause, she said solemnly, "I won't cause any trouble for Prince Yan's Mansion."

Pei Yi heard the last sentence. It turned out that she explained so much because he was worried that she would cause trouble for Prince Yan's Mansion. He murmured, "I'm afraid you'll get into trouble! Prince Yan's Mansion cannot confront Princess Yongtai's Mansion head-on. If we are discovered, I bet Prince Yan's Mansion will not be able to protect you."

Seeing that he was genuinely worried about her, and hearing from him that he was willing to risk the entire power of Prince Yan's Mansion if she was in danger, Xie Zhichan couldn't help but be moved by his sincerity.

Thinking of Qin Baiwei, he felt that it was necessary to remind him. Although Pei Yi said that he had no romantic feelings for Qin Baiwei, they grew up together after all, so there must be some other kind of friendship between them, so he thought of a gentler beginning.

She asked, "What does the prince think of Miss Qin?"

Pei Yi was puzzled, and he was very unhappy that Xie Zhichan put him and Qin Baiwei together. He frowned and said, "Didn't I say that I don't have any romantic feelings for Miss Qin? In my heart, I just treat Qin Baiwei the same as Jingyu."

Xie Zhichan paused. If she treated Qin Baiwei like Jingyu, wouldn't that be the same as treating her like her own sister? If she said something bad about Qin Baiwei now, Pei Yi would think she was trying to sow discord, right?

Xie Zhichan just said: "I'm afraid Miss Qin doesn't want to be the prince's sister."

Pei Yi thought Xie Zhichan didn't believe him, so he continued to explain, "My mother had some friendship with her biological mother. Miss Qin's biological mother died of complications during childbirth, and her father remarried soon after. My mother was worried that she would be abused by her stepmother, so she often invited her to the Prince of Yan's mansion to play, which made her stepmother a little cautious and didn't dare to embarrass her. The name 'Sister Wei' was also what my mother asked me to call her."

Xie Zhichan thought to herself, Pei Yi is such a straight man, telling his wife how much his mother likes another girl, if she was suspicious, she would have a fight with him. Fortunately, she was a simple-minded person and didn't care at all.

After listening to it, she just said "Oh" lightly, and thought about it. Pei Yi didn't seem to trust Qin Baiwei much. He didn't even tell Qin Baiwei that his body had recovered. She didn't need to remind him.

So he stopped talking.

Seeing that Xie Zhichan stopped talking, Pei Yi also sat down next to her and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage fell into silence.

After a while, Xie Zhichan realized that Pei Yi had been sitting next to her. The distance was too close, and when the carriage turned a corner, their bodies would easily touch each other.

So she reminded Pei Yi: "Sir, don't you plan to sit back in your wheelchair?"

Pei Yi said "hmm" and continued to close his eyes to rest, pretending that he could not hear the hint in Xie Zhichan's words.
