stern wife

Chapter 606
Pei Wenchang raised his hand, pointed to a figure who was hurrying down the wooden stairs, and said:
"That one seems to be my sixth younger sister's subordinate. I have been lucky enough to meet her a few times and I recognize her. How could she appear here?

Could it be that my sixth sister is also here? "

"Xiao Ran is there?"

When Emperor Chixuan heard this, he was even happier, and clapped his hands and said:

"Exactly! How about calling her here, let's have a drink together!"

Zhu Yuting and Pei Wenchang looked at each other, both of them had a tacit triumphant smile in their eyes.

Zhu Yuting pretended to be impatient and urged:
"Didn't you hear what my father said? Why don't you go and invite Miss Pei down?"

"Yes!"

Pei Wenchang trotted forward and blocked Xiaorou's way.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rou directly drew her sword to face each other. After the two of them had gone through dozens of moves, Xiao Rou pretended to have just discovered the identity of the other party and exclaimed:

"Fifth Young Master?!"

Wenchang Pei grabbed Xiaorou's wrist, brought her directly in front of Emperor Chixuan and the others, and asked with displeasure on his face:

"How did your master teach you? Why do you do it when you see someone?"

Afterwards, Xiaorou introduced the identities of the three of them. Xiaorou hurriedly knelt down and wanted to salute, but Zhu Yuting grabbed her with sharp eyes and quick hands.

Zhu Yuting said:

"Walking outside, it is inconvenient to reveal your identity, so there is no need to perform this great gift."

Xiao Rou nodded, but her expression was a little absent-minded, she always raised her head to look upstairs frequently, and there seemed to be anxiety and panic in her eyes.

Emperor Chixuan had been emperor for many years, so he naturally possessed such eyesight, so he immediately lowered his expression and asked:
"What are you looking at?"

"Ah? No, nothing..."

Xiaorou seemed to be greatly frightened, even her face turned pale, but she denied it.

Emperor Chixuan took a panoramic view of her expression calmly, and asked again:
"Is your lady in this restaurant?"

Xiaorou's head immediately shook like a wave drum, and she repeatedly denied:
"No, no, my master is not here..."

However, at the end, his tone became weaker.

Pei Wenchang said suspiciously:

"Aren't you a subordinate of Liumei? If Liumei is not here, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Rou hurriedly said:

"I... I came here to eat alone."

Zhu Yuting sneered and said:

"One of your men comes to this kind of restaurant to eat? I'm afraid that one meal can cost you several months' monthly money?"

Xiao Rou clenched her lower lip and said nothing more.

Zhu Lianxi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke:

"Since Miss Six is ​​not here, let's not force her and let her go."

Let her go?How is that possible!

Zhu Yuting ignored Zhu Lianxi's proposal, and just stared at Xiaorou closely, saying:

"Speak! Are you hiding something from us?

If you don't want to say it, then don't blame us for punishing you for deceiving the king! "

Xiaorou's knees gave way, and she knelt down on the ground, her thin body trembling, but she still just bit her lower lip tightly, refusing to confess.

Emperor Chixuan had already seen that Xiaorou's expression was wrong, and now seeing her frightened like this, he felt the seriousness of the situation.

He darkened his face slightly, and asked in a deep voice:
"Did something happen to Xiaoran?"

Xiaorou still wanted to shake her head, but she heard Zhu Yuting's stern warning:

"If you dare to hide or lie again, you will be dragged out and executed!"

Xiaorou's movements froze, and after repeated hesitation, she finally said in a trembling voice:

"This, this matter, the slaves don't know anything, don't know anything...

It's all, it's all what the master ordered the servant to do, the servant... the servant is wronged..."

As he spoke, he was so frightened that he began to cry.

Emperor Chixuan asked coldly:
"What did your master ask you to do?"

Xiaorou swallowed her saliva forcefully, as if she was about to pass out in the next moment, tremblingly said:

"Master...Master, she asked me...to let me come down every once in a while to see if...anyone is following us secretly."

If you didn't do anything wrong, is it necessary for your subordinates to come down so diligently to check?
Emperor Chixuan has always trusted Pei Xiaoran.

However, judging by the appearance of this little girl, it doesn't seem like she is lying.

Could it be... what Xiaoran is doing secretly and hiding it from him?
No, it's impossible, didn't the people from Qin Tianjian once said that Xiao Ran was the one who brought good luck to Suzaku and would never bring disaster to Suzaku?
But people... will always change.

Especially when people have power and money in their hands...

Desires are hard to fill, but the marrow knows the taste. Could it be that even that child can't escape the abyss of power?

Emperor Chixuan thought over and over again, finally stood up, and said to Xiao Judo:

"Take me to meet your master!"

Xiaorou pretended not to disobey the order because she was afraid, and obediently led everyone upstairs.

When she got to the door of a house, Xiao Rou stopped and signaled to everyone:

"The master is... right here..."

Pei Wenchang stepped forward to push the door, but he couldn't push it open. He then asked the people to back off a little while he kicked the door open.

Immediately, a warm and warm fragrance rushed to the face, and the room was also filled with smoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little ambiguous for some reason.

Emperor Chixuan frowned slightly, and Zhu Lianxi's expression darkened.

Although Pei Xiaoran is no longer a child, he is now in his [-]s.

But... she is not married yet!
If she does anything wrong with others, it will definitely damage her reputation!
This world is very harsh on women, not to mention that she often needs to lead troops out to fight. Once her reputation is ruined, the morale of the army will be weakened, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Emperor Chixuan stood outside the door, wondering whether he should just break in to find out.

He loves this child from the bottom of his heart, and he loves the virtuous and talented even more, and he doesn't want to lose one of his arms because of it.

Pei Wenchang, who was on the side, saw Emperor Chixuan standing outside the door hesitantly, and felt jealous and happy for a moment.

What's jealous is that Pei Xiaoran can actually make a dignified king into a dilemma because of her, what a great skill!

But so what?

Now that the matter has developed to this point, neither he, Xiao Rou, nor His Royal Highness the Third Prince will ever let it go by the wayside.

Hehe, Pei Xiaoran, your good days are coming to an end soon!
Sure enough, when Zhu Yuting saw that Emperor Chixuan did not step into the door, he changed his mind and decided to retreat:
"If Dad doesn't want to go in, then let's not go in, maybe it's just a misunderstanding?

Little General Pei is now in a high position, so he is naturally extremely cautious in doing things, it can't be said that we are worrying too much, hehe~"

His words sounded like he was speaking for Pei Xiaoran, but in fact, he was reminding Emperor Chixuan that now that Pei Xiaoran has great power, if something happens, it will be a major event that will hurt Suzaku!
Besides, if you are really frank and upright, why should you be so cautious?
It's clearly harboring evil intentions and a guilty conscience!
