The Male Wife

At night, when the sound from the master bedroom of the Chengbeijiang house completely stopped, someone knocked lightly on the wooden window behind the house.

Jiang Linzhi, who was lying on the bed and hugged Pei Cheng, opened his eyes with a swipe. There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, and he was completely awake. A coat walked to the wooden window, propped it up, looked at the person standing outside, and said, "What's the matter." Inside stood a mysterious person who had never appeared before. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "My lord, it's getting late. If we continue to delay, we won't be able to wait long for the affairs of the imperial capital."

Hearing this, Jiang Linzhi's jaw was tightened, and the line of his jaw was extremely cold, "How is the situation in the imperial capital?"

"The situation is still improving, but I still need my father to go back to support the overall situation. The manager said that he is afraid that things will change again." Seeing that Jiang Linzhi had no intention of leaving immediately, the mysterious man was in a hurry, and could not care about himself and Jiang Lin. The difference in status between them, "Master, the imperial capital has already urged me several times, if it continues to delay now, it will not be good for anyone."

Jiang Linzhi frowned." Pursing his thin lips, his breath suddenly became cold, "Go prepare the horse and set off immediately. "

The mysterious man breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't want to go over and say these words, but if Jiang Linzhi delays the time now, he may delay the time to return to the imperial capital, and at that time, he is afraid that other accidents will happen, so he has to Don't urge Jiang Linzhi.

Jiang Linzhi put down the wooden window, turned around and walked to the edge of the bed, and stared at Pei Cheng's sleeping face. After looking at it for a long time, he stretched out his hand to caress Pei Cheng's face.

Pei Cheng felt a little uncomfortable in his sleep, he babbled in his sleep, frowned, avoided the extra touch on his face, lay on his side, buried his face on the pillow, and fell into a deep sleep again.

The corner of Jiang Linzhi's mouth bent, he lowered his head, and kissed and kissed the lips of the person under him, until the lips of the person under him became red and swollen, so he was reluctant to get up, and changed into a set of dark clothes in the dark , and then left quietly.

The next day, when Pei Cheng woke up, he was the only one left in the room.

After putting on his coat and sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, he finally regained consciousness.There was no sign of Jiang Linzhi in the house, and Pei Cheng forgot what Jiang Linzhi said to him last night for a moment, Pei Cheng walked around the room, saw that there was no trace of Jiang Linzhi in the room, and rubbed it irritably forehead, said: "Come on."

Dong Lai opened the door and walked in from the outside, and said, "Ma'am, do you want breakfast?"

Not long after, the servant also came in. The servant was holding a washbasin filled with hot water and put it on the shelf. Pei Cheng walked over to wash his mouth and face, and then he woke up.

"What about the second master?"

Dong Lai was a little surprised, he thought that Pei Cheng would know where Jiang Linzhi had gone, but the surprise on Dong Lai's face was not obvious, Dong Lai looked at Pei Cheng, and said solemnly: "Mrs. I left early in the morning. I said that I will explain to you when I come back." Pei Cheng paused, then sat on the chair calmly, his face was obviously stiff, he said lightly, and picked up the chopsticks , picked up the noodle bowl in front of him, stirred it a few times with chopsticks, and waited for the sauce in the noodle bowl to blend with the noodles before Pei Cheng lowered his head and ate in small mouthfuls.

"Everyone go out, Donglai stay here." Pei Cheng ordered without raising his head, "Go to the backyard and get the carriage ready. I'll go to the cockfighting ground later."

The servants glanced at each other, bowed their bodies, and exited respectfully, leaving Donglai alone in the room.

Dong Lai didn't know what Pei Cheng was saying to him, he looked a bit puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions, Shou waited for Pei Cheng to finish his meal so he could clean up the dishes.Because Dong Lai waited for a long time after all the servants in the house quit, but Pei Cheng didn't say anything, so Dong Lai couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought Pei Cheng was going to ask him about Second Master Jiang.

Pei Cheng put down his chopsticks, probably because he was really tired and hungry last night, so Pei Cheng, who usually can only eat half a bowl of noodles, ate more than half of the noodles today.

"Donglai, tell me the truth, did Jiang Linzhi leave in the middle of the night, or did he leave early this morning?" Pei Cheng stared at Donglai's eyes, which were full of Donglai's familiar but familiar Unfamiliar threats and dangers.

Dong Lai was taken aback by Pei Cheng's eyes.In fact, Donglai has always felt that Pei Cheng is a soft-hearted and easily vacillating person, so Donglai was thinking about Jiang Linzhi, who didn't even like the noble man in the imperial capital, why did he fall in love with him? The mediocre Pei Cheng?

But Dong Lai suddenly understood that Pei Cheng only looked gentle and harmless on the surface, but secretly he was not a good target. Answer honestly: "The second master left at midnight last night. Something happened in the imperial capital, and the second master had to leave, so he rushed to the imperial capital overnight."

"If you hurry up, how long will it take for the second master to arrive at the imperial capital?" Pei Cheng said suddenly, "What happened to the second master in the imperial capital? Is there something wrong with the business over there?"

Dong Lai was startled, he didn't expect Pei Cheng to know that Jiang Linzhi also had business in the imperial capital, but Dong Lai knew better that Jiang Linzhi should have taken the initiative to tell Pei Cheng, otherwise Pei Cheng would definitely not Know.

But Donglai didn't know, it was Pei Cheng's guess.

Yesterday afternoon, Pei Cheng knew from Jiang Linzhi's mouth that Jiang Linzhi was going to the imperial capital to deal with some matters, but Jiang Linzhi didn't explain in detail to Pei Cheng what it was.But Pei Cheng guessed that it should be a business matter.

Therefore, Pei Cheng was talking about the words.

Dong Lai didn't know about it, thinking that Jiang Linzhi had already told Pei Cheng about the imperial capital, so he obediently told what he knew, "Yes. Being dishonest has given the people in the imperial capital a handle who have long been displeased with our business, so the second master is now going to deal with the affairs of the imperial capital."

Pei Cheng didn't speak.

Donglai thought that Pei Cheng was worried about Jiang Linzhi, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, madam, the second master will have nothing to do in the emperor, and he will come back after dealing with the affairs of the imperial capital."

"Since he still has business in the imperial capital, why should he stay in Hwaseong instead of just staying in the imperial capital." Pei Cheng casually drank his tea, probing casually.

Donglai didn't know the little Jiujiu in Pei Cheng's heart. Hearing him ask this question, Donglai really thought about it seriously, and then smiled and said: "This is the master's mind, and the slave doesn't know."

"When did he start preparing for his business in the imperial capital?" Pei Cheng didn't seem to intend to stop the topic just like that, and continued to ask, "I guess it started before the cockfight."

The topic is up to now, if Donglai still can't hear the temptation in Pei Cheng's words, he won't be able to stay by Jiang Linzhidao's side for so long, Donglai said with a smile: "This business matter is not a slave's business." Yes, this is the master's business, and it's not easy for slaves to intervene. If the madam really wants to know, you can ask the second master directly after the second master returns from the imperial capital."

Pei Cheng didn't answer, the teacup he was holding was out of tea, Pei Cheng put down the teacup, poured himself another cup of tea, picked it up, took a sip, his eyes were full of indifference, he said: "Huh? Do you really not know, or do you think you can't tell me, Donglai?"

Looking at Pei Cheng like this, Dong Lai was a little scared. Dong Lai complained incessantly in his heart, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "Ma'am, aren't you insulting this slave? The slave really doesn't know, if Madam, if you really want to know, then you should wait for Second Master to come back and then ask Second Master."

Seeing the embarrassment on Donglai's face, Pei Cheng waved his hands, and stopped embarrassing him, just said: "Go and prepare the carriage."

Dong Lai breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up and left, turned around and walked out quickly.

Pei Cheng sat in the carriage, leaning against the side of the carriage, thinking about what happened yesterday.Pei Cheng thought that his behavior of staying with Jiang Linzhi in the alley outside yesterday afternoon as if there was no one there was a bit...inexplicably weird.

Before yesterday, Pei Cheng felt that he was not the kind of person who could accept close contact with his lover outside, but yesterday, Pei Cheng didn't know if he was too angry, and he forgot about the two of them for a while. At that time, he was outside, not "touching" the carriage at home and stopped suddenly. Pei Cheng, who was sitting in the carriage and leaned his head against the carriage, slammed heavily into the carriage because of the sudden movement of the carriage.

Pei Cheng was dizzy from the pain, and could only frown from the pain.

Dong Lai's nervous voice sounded outside the carriage, because Dong Lai was a little closer, so he also heard the sound from inside the carriage just now, and immediately said nervously, "Ma'am, are you alright?"

Pei Cheng had something to do, but he wanted to save face, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine. What's going on outside."

Dong Lai, who stood guard outside the carriage, had unusually cold eyes. He stared at the boy who had just rushed out to stop the carriage and surprised the carriage, and said, "Who are you?"

"The servant is the servant of the Pei family." The servant was trembling with fear from Donglai's eyes. He didn't understand why he was also a servant, but Donglai didn't feel like a servant, but like an escort agency. Those escorts with blood on their hands?

"Pei's family?" Pei Cheng's ears sharpened, and he heard Pei's family.

The young man touched him, knelt down in front of the crowd, and said: "The old lady is sick. I beg the second young master to go back and see the seriously ill old lady. The old lady is your mother after all, the second young master!"

The pedestrians around were all attracted by the boy's sudden action, walked over unconsciously, and pointed around the carriage with the boy.

Donglai walked over, firmly and forcefully picked up the seemingly thin boy from the ground, and said: "Two days ago, Mrs. Pei came to see our wife in good health. Why, it's only been two days since she fell ill Now, the sudden illness, are you telling lies, eh!?"

The boy was so frightened by the cruelty in Donglai's eyes that he closed his eyes.

Pei Cheng said: "Come east, let him continue talking."

Dong Lai's raised hand slowly clenched into a fist, and finally let go, and walked aside respectfully, but his eyes were still staring at the servant. If the servant was dishonest, he would come over and arrest him. kill.

The boy complained endlessly in his heart.
