Chapter 254 Extra 2: (Feng Shu) Fallen leaves follow the breeze (Part 2)
In the alley, Pei Yunshu glared at the person in front of him.
She and Fangzi went out to buy things, while Qiongying stayed at home with Baozhu. When she came out of the restaurant, she left something behind. Fangzi went back to get it. She was waiting downstairs, but she didn't expect to meet Mu Sheng.
Prince Wenjun Mu Sheng was her former husband and her former bed partner.
Pei Yunshu and Mu Sheng reconciled because of Meng Xiyan's "child worry". Pei Yunshu did not expect it to go so smoothly at first, because the marriage between two surnames sometimes involves not only the couple, but also the two families.
But Mu Sheng didn't say anything, didn't come to trouble her, and even let her take the orb away.
Later, Pei Yunshu found out that Pei Yunying had visited Mu Sheng once and did not know what he had said to him.
If he could shut up Mu Sheng, Pei Yunying would definitely have his life in his hands. At that time, Pei Yunshu was thinking about the orb and did not want to get entangled with him. She just wanted to escape from the den of jackals and tigers in Prince Wenjun's palace as soon as possible.
After the reconciliation, Pei Yunying arranged a house for her, and she was guarded by guards on weekdays. She never saw Mu Sheng again.
Her ex-husband, whom she had not seen for a long time, was right in front of her, but he was far less glamorous than before. He looked haggard, and his clothes and entourage were not as good as before. When a man was in poverty, even his proud spirit of having eyes above his head was gone.
Seeing Pei Yunshu, Mu Sheng's eyes lit up, he called "Madam", grabbed her wrist, and walked quickly into an alley.
Pei Yunshu struggled for a long time before throwing his hand away: "What are you doing?"
"Madam," Mu Sheng looked at her with a strange look: "Long time no see, you are really different from before."
In the past, in Prince Wenjun's palace, Pei Yunshu didn't like to talk to him. She was cold and indifferent every day, not gentle at all, and as boring as all the ladies from high families. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a long time, Pei Yunshu, who had been divorced, was wearing bright clothes, and her eyes were shining with hope, and she seemed to be a different person from before.
"I am no longer your wife." Pei Yunshu said coldly, "The prince respects himself."
The more she acted like this, the more uncomfortable Mu Sheng felt.
Since he and Pei Yunshu broke up, he had no choice but to let him go because of Pei Yunying's threats. Instead, he became the laughing stock of the whole capital. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, his "old man" is in a precarious situation. Seeing that the situation was not good, the people in Shengjing all avoided him like a snake or a scorpion. He had no ability in the first place. In the past, he only relied on the title left by his ancestors to pretend to be powerful. Now that the title has been reduced, he is not as good as before. In a short time, Mu The home will be completely destroyed.
When a man is down and out, he suddenly sees his glamorous ex-wife, especially since his ex-wife seems to be doing quite well now, and a little bit of reluctance suddenly arises in his heart.
He smiled falsely: "Yunshu, you and I were once in love as husband and wife, so why do we talk so distantly?"
He stepped forward to take Pei Yunshu's hand, but Pei Yunshu immediately took a step back.
Mu Sheng's hand fell empty, he looked up at Pei Yunshu, and changed his affectionate look: "Yunshu, how is our daughter now? I heard that you named her Baozhu. It's such a nice name... Ever since she was born , I, the father, have not hugged her yet. Where is she now? I want to see her..."
Pei Yunshu's expression changed: "Stay away from the orb!"
"Why should I stay away from her? I am her father." Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Yunshu, in fact, the 'Xiao'erchou' incident was indeed caused by my neglect. I apologize to you. Every time I think about it later, I feel in my heart I regret it endlessly... There is a treasure between you and me, and the treasure also needs a father. It is better to reconcile and reunite..."
"Reunion?"
"Yes, a couple's love lasts for a night. We also had a relationship in the past..."
Pei Yunshu looked at the face pretending to be affectionate and felt both ridiculous and disgusting.
When she was in Prince Wenjun's palace, Mu Sheng rarely looked down upon her. Their marriage had nothing to do with "love". Pei Yunshu also knew in her heart that the reason why Mu Sheng still came to pester him was not because of old friendship. But because now the title has been reduced and the Mu family is in decline, his younger brother is still walking in front of the emperor with a bright future, so he wants to establish a relationship.
"I'm sorry," Pei Yunshu said coldly, "I have no interest in getting back together with you. My maid is still waiting for me downstairs. Please leave."
After being rejected twice in a row, and seeing Pei Yunshu's firm attitude, Mu Sheng's face gradually became ugly.
"I am Baozhu's father, why do you want me to leave?" He grabbed Pei Yunshu's hand, and Pei Yunshu's wrist turned blue. Pei Yunshu couldn't struggle, so she had to say angrily: "Let me go, Mu Sheng, don't be too angry." Too much!"
"Too much?" Mu Sheng sneered: "I have something even more excessive!" After saying that, he leaned over and kissed Pei Yunshu's neck.
Pei Yunshu was startled and immediately humiliated. She was struggling hard when suddenly, Mu Sheng's movements froze.
She raised her eyes and saw a long black knife stretched across Mu Sheng's neck. The blade was cold. Even colder than this was the gaze of the person holding the knife.
"...Deputy Ambassador Xiao?"
The person who came was actually Xiao Zhufeng.
Mu Sheng also sensed the murderous intention behind him and quickly raised his hands. Xiao Zhufeng kicked him with a cold face. Mu Sheng was kicked and fell to the ground.
"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Zhufeng asked with a frown.
Pei Yunshu shook her head with lingering fear and looked at him again: "Why are you here?"
"I was passing by and heard your voice. Come and take a look."
The two of them seemed to be talking to each other as if no one was around, but in Mu Sheng's eyes, they took on a different look. Looking at the man holding the knife, there was a coldness all over his body, but when he spoke to Pei Yunshu, his tone was caring and gentle.
Jealousy, unwillingness, and anger were mixed together. Mu Sheng suddenly realized it. He pointed at his ex-wife angrily and said, "No wonder she looked like a chaste and righteous woman just now, but she turned out to be an adulterer and an adulterer, shameless!"
Pei Yunshu was extremely angry: "Shut up! You are talking nonsense!"
"Where am I talking nonsense?" Mu Sheng looked up and saw the man's tough figure and handsome appearance. He became more and more dazzling and said indiscriminately: "You whore, maybe you had an affair with him when you were in the county prince's palace." Tong, and your daughter, I can’t tell if she’s mine, bitch!”
Even if he insulted himself for no reason, he still insulted Baozhu like this. He had never seen such a shameless person. Pei Yunshu was so angry that he was shaking all over.
With a "swish" sound, the long knife was pressed against the throat of the man on the ground again. Mu Sheng froze, and the man looked at him with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Shut up."
The cold blade on his neck diluted some of the anger just now. When he came back to his senses, Mu Sheng felt a little regretful.
After marrying into Prince Wenjun's palace, Pei Yunshu almost never left home. It was indeed impossible for her to have an affair with anyone. It was true that Baozhu was his daughter. However, he was just unwilling to give in. Why could Pei Yunshu find a younger and more handsome man after she reconciled with him? Why could she still live such a good life? She should be haggard and in pain, crying every day, and when they meet again, she should be speechless and reluctant to let go of him.
Instead of being like this now, he was down and out and she was dismissive of him. This was not what he wanted to see at all.
Mu Sheng stared at Pei Yunshu, and after a moment, he suddenly laughed.
Pei Yunshu frowned: "Why are you laughing?"
"I laughed at you for being stupid." Mu Sheng put away his smile and spoke harshly, "You are a divorced woman with a slutty daughter. Which good family in Shengjing dares to want you? Either because of your money, or... Just teasing you. Pei Yunshu, don’t think you can really climb a high branch, be careful and end up with nothing, but become a joke in other people’s mouths!”
As soon as he said these words, he pressed the blade on his neck, and a trace of blood slowly flowed out from under the knife. Mu Sheng shrank and shut up suddenly.
Pei Yunshu slowly walked up to him.
"Whether others are after my money or teasing me, it has nothing to do with you."
Pei Yunshu looked at him with anger: "Being married to you is the most disgusting thing I have ever done in my life."
"You!" Mu Sheng gritted his teeth, "Don't forget, I am Bao Zhu's father. You want to remarry in the future, but which man is willing to be the father of someone else's daughter?"
"I do."
Suddenly, someone spoke. Pei Yunshu and Mu Sheng were both stunned.
The man who had never spoken had a calm tone and repeated slowly: "I am willing to treat her as my biological daughter and love her sincerely, so you can get out."
"If you don't get out," the blade slowly moved to Mu Sheng's mouth, "I'll cut your tongue."
The man in front of him looked indifferent, not like he would make a fuss when he said harsh words, but there seemed to be danger hidden in that calmness. Mu Sheng suddenly felt a kind of horror, that the other person really had the courage to cut out his tongue.
He glanced at Pei Yunshu again, climbed up from the ground unwillingly, and ran away full of resentment.
Mu Sheng disappeared from the alley, and Pei Yunshu looked at Xiao Zhufeng.
He put the knife back into its sheath, raised his head, and met her eyes.
It was quiet all around, and the two of them didn't speak for a while.
After a long while, Xiao Zhufeng explained: "He was disrespectful to you just now... Those words of mine," he paused, "we said in a hurry, so Miss Pei doesn't need to take it to heart."
"Those words" refer to the words that she would regard the orb as her biological daughter.
Pei Yunshu was silent and then laughed: "I know."
"Deputy Ambassador Xiao said this because he was trying to save me from the siege. However, Mu Sheng is particularly shameless. I'm afraid that if he spreads the word outside, he might cause trouble for Deputy Ambassador Xiao."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Zhufeng said, "I'm not afraid of him." He added, "If he comes looking for you again, you can come to me in front of the palace and I will drive him away for you."
Pei Yunshu shook her head: "Why bother bothering Deputy Ambassador Xiao all this time? If the day comes, I will just tell A Ying."
She was still smiling, but her attitude suddenly became more alienated. Xiao Zhufeng was a little at a loss.
Pei Yunshu's eyes fell on the ground, paused, and bent down to pick up a bead string from the ground. Just now, when Xiao Zhufeng drew his sword, it fell from his wrist.
The bead string is different from other sandalwood strings. It is crystal clear and has a light pink color. It looks like women's jewelry.
Pei Yunshu handed the string of beads back to Xiao Zhufeng: "Deputy Ambassador Xiao dropped something."
Xiao Zhufeng was stunned and hurriedly took it, his expression flustered for a moment.
This panic fell in Pei Yunshu's eyes, confirming his suspicion more and more, so he smiled slightly and said: "I will go back and tell A Ying about today's matter, and remind Mu Sheng not to talk nonsense outside. Even if Deputy Xiao is generous and doesn't care, can he? Don’t care what your sweetheart thinks?”
Xiao Zhufeng was puzzled: "Sweetheart?"
Pei Yunshu's smile became even fainter: "Isn't the string of beads on Deputy Xiao's wrist a gift from my sweetheart? How could a man use such beautiful jewelry?"
Xiao Zhufeng lowered his head and glanced at the string of beads, suddenly realized, and explained nervously: "No, no, this is not a gift from the woman, it is bought by Duan Xiaoyan, and one of the staff in front of the palace is used to attract peach blossoms... If you don't believe it, you can Ask Pei Yunying...he also bought one."
It was rare to see him stutter, and Pei Yunshu was a little surprised. When she heard him say the words "attracting peach blossoms", she became even more surprised. She couldn't help but say, "Does Deputy Ambassador Xiao have someone in his heart, so he wears the beads?"
Xiao Zhufeng shut up immediately.
The two were silent when Fangzi's voice sounded outside: "Miss, miss..."
Pei Yunshu turned around: "Fangzi, I'm here!"
Fangzi ran over with the box in hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Pei Yunshu: "I can't find the lady anywhere, but I'm scared to death." When she saw Xiao Zhufeng again, she saluted in surprise: "Why is Deputy Xiao here?"
"I just passed by by chance." Pei Yunshu replied, and then said to Xiao Zhufeng, "Thank you, Deputy Xiao, for taking action today. Since nothing happens, we will go back first."
She smiled and nodded to Xiao Zhufeng, then turned around and walked out of the alley with Fangzi.
Xiao Zhufeng looked at her back, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered what Pei Yunying had said to him before.
"My sister is young and beautiful, and has a family. Now that I have won the favor of His Majesty, there are countless men in Shengjing City who want to be Baozhu's father."
"You are my brother, so I am making an exception to tell you that if you still want to be my brother-in-law, you'd better take the initiative. Don't look back and miss the opportunity and fall in love with a married woman again."
There are countless men who want to be Baozhu's father...
Pei Yunying didn't lie. Even a **** like Mu Sheng wanted to come and eat it up. Of course, this is not only because of Pei Yunying, she is still worthy even without those external things.
She was the best woman in the world.
Above his head, a fallen leaf swayed leisurely and was blown away by the wind, falling into his arms. The half-green and half-yellow leaf reflected his mood at the moment. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he will no longer be able to tell whether he will live or die tomorrow as before. And her smile that suddenly faded when she misunderstood him made him feel sad.
All caring people in the world will understand the longing for each other and die. The unfaithful people in the world don’t know the meaning of lovesickness...
There is a heart and a heart that is negative, I don’t know where it falls...
He wants to be a caring person and is willing to die for lovesickness. Nor do I want her cherished heart to be let down by this world.
Xiao Zhufeng suddenly squeezed the leaves tightly and strode forward.
Pei Yunshu just walked to the entrance of the alley when she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "Miss Pei."
She turned around and Xiao Zhufeng stepped forward.
The man had a sharp knife on his waist, and a hint of redness appeared on his usually cold face. He said in a deep voice: "This is not a rescue."
He raised his head and looked into her eyes: "What I said just now is true. I will treat her as my daughter. I like Baozhu very much, and I also like..."
Before Xiao Zhufeng finished speaking, Fangzi had already covered her mouth to suppress her scream.
Pei Yunshu looked at the person in front of her. The taciturn and cold-hearted man lowered his head slightly, acting awkwardly and awkwardly, which was different from the past.
The long wind blew the fallen leaves that covered the stone steps in the distance. She was silent for a while, pursed her lips and smiled, and walked forward with a graceful look.
Take two steps and stop.
"Bairi Baozhu said that he would like to go to the east of Panlou Street to see the sugar flowers in the evening, and Aying has already agreed."
Xiao Zhufeng was stunned.
"Deputy Ambassador Xiao, do you want to go with us?" she asked.
The woman's voice was gentle, and for a moment, it was like going back many years ago. She put the medicine into his hand, grabbed his skirt and left in a hurry. He looked at the other person's back. It was getting farther and farther away, but the shadow was getting closer and closer.
In this way, it was clearly reflected for many years.
So he smiled softly and responded softly.
"good."
