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

Chapter 62 I should really hide her away

Pei Yanzhi's words were somewhat inexplicable, but Xiang Ning understood them immediately.

She obediently lowered her head and moved closer to Pei Yanzhi.

“This servant does not know why he insists on bothering me. This person is really strange.”

After speaking, Xiang Ning looked up at Pei Yanzhi, her eyes still showing a hint of fear.

Fearing that Pei Yanzhi might misunderstand something.

Pei Yanzhi knew Xiang Ning's personality; she wasn't the type to flirt.

So he reached out and ruffled Xiang Ning's hair: "Go inside."

Xiang Ning nodded with a smile. When she smiled, her eyes curved, making her even more beautiful.

Yao Yao smiled and followed Xiang Ning's steps.

Li Yunfan watched this scene and gripped the hairpin in his hand tightly.

So she was Pei Yanzhi's maid, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. No wonder she looked down on him.

Thinking of this, Li Yunfan stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Lord Pei."

Pei Yanzhi stood there, looking down at Li Yunfan.

As a close advisor to the emperor and a noble young master raised in a prominent family, his demeanor was naturally impeccable.

The prestige and luxury built upon gold and jade were beyond Li Yunfan's reach.

"May I do some business with Lord Pei? That maidservant of yours..."

As soon as Li Yunfan spoke, Pei Yanzhi's face turned dark.

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yanzhi kicked him.

"Uh...you, why did you hit me?"

Li Yunfan fell onto the cobblestone road, wincing in pain, and his Southeast Asian pearl hairpin was shattered along with it.

Pei Yanzhi narrowed his eyes: "You should be glad I didn't bring a knife today."

Otherwise, Li Yunfan would have been dead long ago.

After saying that, Pei Yanzhi turned and left. Li Yunfan tried to get up, but in the next instant, a bamboo leaf with a sharp aura cut off his long hair by his ear.

The originally soft bamboo leaves seemed to transform into the most resilient hidden weapons at this moment.

Li Yunfan was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. When he looked up, he saw that Pei Yanzhi had already stopped and left.

At this moment, Xiang Ning and Yao Yao arrived at a slightly secluded pavilion.

When Pei Yanzhi approached, Yaoyao understood, said something to Xiang Ning, and then walked out.

"Master? Hmm..."

When Xiang Ning saw Pei Yanzhi, she had barely uttered a word when he pulled her into his arms.

A warm, wet kiss landed on her red lips, and she was completely enveloped in Pei Yanzhi's embrace.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiang Ning felt like she could hardly breathe before he finally let go of her.

"I only let you out for a short while, and you've already attracted a lot of attention."

Pei Yanzhi lowered his head and repeatedly wiped Xiang Ning's lips with his hand.

As he wiped the lipstick and gloss off her lips, his gaze grew even darker.

Pei Yanzhi only realized today that Xiang Ning was very beautiful.

Previously, when Pei Yongcheng chased after her, looking like he would never give up until he got her, Pei Yanzhi simply thought that Xiang Ning was very clever.

Looking back now, the reason Pei Yongcheng couldn't have her was because Xiang Ning's looks were so stunning that he would likely never meet another like her in his lifetime.

She was a delicate flower in bud, radiant and full of life, yet she could only bloom for him alone, and be admired by him alone.

Especially now, panting and slumped in his arms, she makes you want to love her without a second thought.

"This servant does not know; he insisted on chasing after us."

Xiang Ning clutched Pei Yanzhi's clothes, feeling utterly wronged.

That Li Yunfan was like someone who couldn't understand human speech. He chased after me, which forced me to deal with Pei Yanzhi.

As Xiang Ning spoke, her red lips opened and closed, exhaling warm breath.

Pei Yanzhi looked at her, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

We should really hide her away, so no one can see her. "Then why are you trembling? Aren't you feeling guilty?"

But Pei Yanzhi didn't intend to let her off so easily. Instead, he said something that made Xiang Ning pause in surprise.

Wasn't she trembling because of the restless hand that was resting on her waist and abdomen?
Pei Yanzhi saw that her face was flushed, as if she had been covered by a layer of sunset.

"Keep quiet, or you'll attract attention."

He bent down and whispered something in Xiang Ning's ear, his teasing voice making Xiang Ning's body burn.

Xiang Ning parted her lips, then lowered her head and clutched his clothes tightly. How could this person have become so indiscriminate in his tastes?

Does he enjoy watching her tremble under his hand, with nowhere to escape?
The atmosphere in the pavilion gradually rose, but two people were standing behind a tree not far away.

"Miss... isn't Lord Pei supposed to be the most aloof and arrogant? How come he seems completely different from the rumors?"

The maid Lüzhi's words made Wen Caifu shush: "No matter how aloof and proud he is, he is still a man."

She walked forward, holding onto the green branch. The girl was dressed in a bright green dress, which looked very fresh and pretty.

"But Lord Pei is not engaged to the young lady yet, and he already has such a favored concubine by his side, and he even brought her to the banquet with him."

Green Branch was afraid that Pei Yanzhi would favor his concubine over his wife.

If my daughter marries into that family, she'll be bullied.

Upon hearing this, Wen Caifu stopped in her tracks: "Don't other families have this problem?"

“My father works with Lord Pei and knows his character best. To put it bluntly, this marriage is a step up for me.”

Wen Caifu understood perfectly well that she was not, after all, a noblewoman from a high-ranking family.

With the Pei family being so prestigious, what kind of woman couldn't Pei Yanzhi find?

The reason why the old lady of the Pei family took a liking to the Wen family was simply because of the Wen family's moderate entry requirements and the reputation she had cultivated.

"girl……"

"Alright, that's enough. I'm quite open-minded. Compared to many men in the capital, Lord Pei is already very good."

Wen Caifu lowered her eyes. He held a high position and a noble status, and had no bad habits.

This was the best marriage she could find.

Green Branch felt a little sorry for her daughter, but she also understood that everything she said made sense.

After the two walked away, a person dressed as a maid from the royal palace frowned.

Not long after, Lu Jiamin, who was changing clothes in the room, heard the words of her maid Lianxiang and immediately stood up.

"you sure?"

“Princess, I heard it right. The Wen family girl said that Lord Pei has a concubine.”

Lu Jiamin held her head and turned to scold the maid who was combing her hair: "Clumsy!"

The maid who was combing her hair immediately knelt down, begging for mercy incessantly.

"Let's go, I want to see who this audacious person is who dares to seduce Pei Lang!"

Lu Jiamin felt furious whenever she thought about Pei Yanzhi spending every night with the same maid.

This concubine had gained Pei Yanzhi's favor earlier than her, how could she not be angry?

At this moment, in the pavilion, Xiang Ning collapsed into Pei Yanzhi's arms, panting.

The man's clothes were not disheveled at all, except for the wrinkles caused by Xiang Ning's grip on his arms.

"If you can't walk, don't force yourself."

"Isn't this all because of you, Master?"

Xiang Ning sat on his lap, her legs feeling a little weak. This man, even without any real physical contact, had his own ways of tormenting her.

"Sir, the Second Madam is looking for you in the front hall. Miss Wen is also there."

Just as Pei Yanzhi was about to speak, Cheng Hua stood not far away with his head down and said something.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Ning's blush faded, and she quickly stood up and stepped aside.

"Wait for me here, and don't wander off."

I'm going to write another one about forceful acquisition in my next book!!! I love this kind of story so much.

Maybe I can get a five-star review from my little darlings?
