Chapter 159: Drawing a Knife to Slash Pei Yan
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the petite and delicate girl in front of her and felt a sense of helplessness.
What did this girl eat to grow up like this? How can a girl have such strength?
It's utterly unbelievable, and one might even wonder if the other person grew up on fake medicine.
Little Linglong blinked her big, expressive eyes, looking at him with a hint of confusion.
"Your name is Fang Xiaoxiao, right?"
"Ah."
Fang Xiaoxiao, having regained her senses, responded softly.
"What's wrong? Do you know me?"
Xiao Linglong licked her lips and said slowly.
"do not know."
"???"
This guy, why ask if he doesn't even know me?
Fang Xiaoxiao silently complained to herself, feeling somewhat speechless.
Little Linglong immediately smiled and said...
"We didn't know each other before, but we do now."
"I've heard Brother Pei Yan mention you before..."
What? Why did Pei Yan bring me up?
Fang Xiaoxiao was puzzled and was about to speak.
"Brother Pei Yan said you are a strange woman, and extremely ugly."
But then Xiao Linglong continued.
He said meeting you was the most regrettable decision he ever made in his life!
"!!!!!!"
As soon as these words came out.
Fang Xiaoxiao wished she could immediately grab a knife and find Pei Yan to ask him directly.
What is a strange woman? What is someone who is extremely ugly?
Little did she know that the girl next to her was subtly smiling.
All of this was actually said by Xiao Linglong on purpose, and her goal was simple: to make Fang Xiaoxiao hate Pei Yan.
Only in this way will she have a chance to marry Brother Pei Yan.
Of course, those words she just said were not something she could have come up with herself.
It was all her mother's idea that made it possible for her.
Her mother also told her that she had married her father in the same way.
After hearing her mother's words, Xiao Linglong was initially incredulous, but then, as if her blocked intestines had met an enema, they were instantly cleared.
She was secretly overjoyed.
Fang Xiaoxiao was furious.
Just in time.
A tall figure walked in from outside the door.
She looked up.
Upon seeing who it was, a chill appeared on his face.
The chill instantly swept over Pei Yan, who was completely bewildered.
Seeing his wife like this, he was completely baffled.
Strange, why is my wife looking at me with such hostility today?
Pei Yan pondered for a moment, then, without any clue, turned his gaze to Xiao Linglong, who was standing up and looking down like a little dork.
Ok……
In an instant, he seemed to understand something.
Seeing that Xiao Linglong was about to leave, he quickly grabbed her wrist and said coldly.
"What did you just say to your wife?"
Xiao Linglong shook her head vigorously, looking determined not to tell anyone.
In her opinion, as long as she didn't say anything, Pei Yan would never find out in his lifetime.
Once a person does something wrong, they will feel very guilty, and their eyes will even involuntarily dart away, as if afraid to meet the person's gaze.
Pei Yan could easily see through the little girl's little scheme.
So he pretended to have made a mistake, then immediately let go of Xiao Linglong's arm, switching to a gentle demeanor in his words.
"I'm sorry, brother was overthinking it."
"Hmph, it's just that Brother Pei Yan is overthinking things."
Seeing that he had given in, Xiao Linglong even raised her voice a few decibels.
"Never mind, it's nothing anyway, I'll go now!"
Just in time.
Fang Xiaoxiao angrily got off the bamboo bed and rushed to the two of them.
She put her hands on her hips, looking like a ruthless bandit, and shouted angrily.
"Well, Pei Yan, I never expected you to be this kind of person."
"You're two-faced; I must have been blind to save you."
“Little Linglong just told me everything.”
Her voice was so loud that even passersby could hear it clearly.
Pei Yan, who was always very concerned about his image, could not stand her criticism.
He reached out and covered her mouth, making a shushing gesture.
"Shh, what nonsense are you spouting? When have I ever said one thing to your face and another behind your back?"
Fang Xiaoxiao reached out and shook off his large hand that was covering her mouth, and said indignantly.
"You still want to shut me up? I think you're like lighting a candle in a latrine, looking for death!"
"Today I'm going to hear what you're up to, why you call me a weird woman and say I'm incredibly ugly."
This statement came out.
This immediately drew discussion from passersby.
"Good heavens, did our young master really say that?"
"That's impossible. The young master has been praising himself for meeting such a wonderful wife, and he even said that she was the one who cured him of the poison."
"Yes, what exactly happened?"
As they spoke, they turned their gaze to Xiao Linglong, who was looking down.
For a moment, everyone seemed to realize what was happening.
However, they didn't say anything, they just quietly watched the group.
inside the house.
Pei Yan was startled by Fang Xiaoxiao's words.
He had already guessed that all of this was Xiao Linglong's doing.
This little guy is petty and cunning, and he doesn't think before he speaks; he dares to say anything recklessly.
If it weren't for the fact that they were family members of a military guard, they would have been sentenced to be executed along with their entire family in the capital city.
To criticize a prince is tantamount to disgracing the royal family.
This is no small crime.
Pei Yan sighed helplessly and spoke gently.
"It's all a misunderstanding, my lady, please don't listen to other people's slander."
"How could I, a mere scoundrel, fabricate rumors and slander against others?"
That seems to make some sense.
Fang Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and finally understood.
It turns out I was tricked, and it was all Xiao Linglong's doing.
There was a moment of silence.
I never expected that she would be misled by a little girl's few words.
I pondered this over and over again.
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't intend to pursue the matter further and could only pretend that her anger had subsided.
"Never mind, never mind, I'm not a petty person."
"So what if I said it? It's not like it's going to hurt me."
She waved her hand, indicating that the matter should be put behind her.
As for Xiao Linglong, judging from her expression, it's probably not something she could come up with.
Seeing that his wife had given him a way out, Pei Yan naturally decided not to pursue the matter further.
At this moment, Xiao Linglong felt extremely guilty and quickly ran towards the door.
After watching Xiao Linglong leave, Fang Xiaoxiao jokingly said.
"This guy is really cunning."
"It's a pity I can't take her with me."
For a fleeting moment, she thought of taking a few people out to help look after the shop or something.
However, this was ultimately unrealistic, because Pei Yan had mentioned before that these people were all criminals, and once they showed their faces, they would probably face annihilation.
Pei Yan's words instantly dispelled all her thoughts.
Fang Xiaoxiao changed the subject and asked.
"When are we going back?"
"Just these two days."
