Chapter 79 Green grassland above the head
  When he entered the room with a basin, Duan Zhuyu was already wrapped in a quilt and huddled in the corner of the bed, his eyes empty and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Zhu Yu?" Pei Jingshuo called her carefully.

Duan Zhuyu was not wearing any clothes inside, and he didn't dare to look at it. He just lowered his head and kept looking at the water in his hand.

Only then did Duan Zhuyu react. She stood up from the bed, and the quilt slipped from her body. A large area of ​​her fair skin was exposed to the cold air, and even the ambiguous marks on her body were glowing red.

"Jinglang..." she called softly, and a pair of white lotus-rooted arms climbed up Pei Jingshuo's body.

Pei Jingshuo stumbled and almost threw the basin in his hand to the ground.

Duan Zhuyu bit his lip, and just when he was about to keep trying, Pei Jingshuo pushed her away as if he had touched something dirty, almost as if he was running away.

Looking at his fleeing back, Duan Zhuyu was stunned and a little hurt.

She picked up her clothes from the ground and looked down at her belly with a flash of resentment in her eyes.

She really couldn't understand why Pei Jingshuo didn't want to touch her.

The two have known each other for two months. From the beginning, she took Su Xing's position as the courtesan. When she performed on stage for the first time, she and Pei Jingshuo made eye contact.

Because of this, Pei Jingshuo often went to Zhaixinglou, and she didn't do anything when he ordered it. Every time he was in the house, he would sit at the table and drink tea, letting her have a good rest.

But from the beginning to now, Pei Jingshuo has never touched her.

Duan Zhuyu raised his hand to caress his lower abdomen, and there was a trace of fierceness in his lowered eyes.

Song Tinglan on the other side was still uneasy after returning to his house.

Her personal maid Hua Que stood aside with an angry look on her face, and couldn't help but said: "Miss! They've gone too far! It was Pei Jingshuo who asked for this marriage in the first place! It was clearly agreed upon at the beginning that the marriage would be done when the lady was old enough. We were engaged, and now the result is like this——"

"Hua Que, shut up." Song Tinglan didn't look very good. She sighed, her voice still soft: "You can't force love. Since the Second Young Master Pei has already said that he already has a sweetheart and the marriage is off, then Just listen to him and give up."

"Miss—" Hua Que was unconvinced and wanted to say something more, but Song Tinglan raised her hand to stop her.

"You go to the warehouse to pick out a few gifts, call your parents, and come with me to the Cheng Mansion."

"Even if the marriage is cancelled, I, Song Tinglan, should be the one to back off from this marriage!"

Mrs. Cheng took Pei Qianyue and Pei Shao all the way back to her house. She squeezed her fingers tightly on the carriage and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Mother, second brother...second brother was also confused for a while."

Pei Qianyue sat next to her, a little unable to bear it, and spoke out to persuade her.

Pei Shao lay aside and said nothing. He looked exhausted, but he was full of fighting spirit inside.

[Is the second brother possessed by a ghost? He is so obsessed with Duan Zhuyu! 】

[Is this my second brother? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The eldest brother is so smart and the third sister is so capable, why is the second brother so stupid...]

[When he is stabbed in the back by Duan Zhuyu, knowing that his mother is well, he will not let him come back even if he wants to go back to his home. Hmph! 】

Listening to Pei Shao's childlike words without any scruples, Cheng finally felt a little better.

"He is not young anymore. He should bear the consequences of what he does and the path he chooses."

"On the contrary, Tinglan...it's a pity that Jingshuo is not so lucky."

Seeing that Mrs. Cheng had figured it out, Pei Qianyue also shut up and said nothing more.

She also felt that her second brother was not doing the right thing.

Zhu Yu made it clear in that paragraph that he had been used as a concubine for others, but he was still so stubborn and insisted on believing Zhu Yu's one-sided words.

Mrs. Cheng didn't say a word, she just sat there with blank eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

It wasn't until he returned to the mansion that the maid who was guarding the mansion ran forward to report. "Miss An Bai! Mr. Song and Mrs. Song heard about the second young master and brought Miss Song to our house! They are waiting for you to come back and make the decision. They have been waiting for a long time now!"

When Mrs. Cheng heard this, the string that had been tense in her heart finally broke.

She had been uneasy ever since she met Tinglan.

She originally thought about how long she could hide it, but when she got through to Jingshuo, she would personally take him to the Song Mansion to apologize to Tinglan.

But no wonder.

Tinglan is the daughter that Mr. Song has always held dear to his heart, and he is reluctant to let her suffer in the slightest.

"Where is Master Song now?" she asked.

"It's in the west hall!" the maid replied: "The old lady has rested now, so the servant didn't bother her. Girl, please come over quickly!"

Pei Qianyue knew that such an occasion was inappropriate for her, so she simply said goodbye to Mrs. Cheng and went back to her house.

Mrs. Cheng took Pei Shao and hurried towards the west hall.

Master Song and Mrs. Song were already drinking tea, while Song Tinglan sat aside without saying a word.

"Mrs. Cheng."

Seeing Mrs. Cheng come in, Mrs. Song nodded slightly, as if she wanted to intimidate her, but did not get up from the chair.

Song Tinglan, on the other hand, stood up and bowed politely.

Mrs. Cheng saw this and fell in love with Song Tinglan even more.

The eyes looking at Mr. Song and Mrs. Song were also full of guilt.

"Since Mrs. Cheng is here, I will make it clear." Mrs. Song stopped immediately and said: "I brought Tinglan here today because I wanted to cancel the engagement. Tinglan and Jingshuo had decided to get married as a baby. It's just a joke between the two parents. Since Jingshuo already has a beloved woman, I don't want my Tinglan to join in and beat the mandarin ducks with a stick."

Although Mrs. Song felt unhappy, she did everything she could to save the family's face.

A joke was easily revealed, and it wouldn't bring any infamy to Pei Jingshuo.

Mrs. Cheng also saw what Mrs. Song meant and was grateful.

"I'm here today. Let's just let the marriage of our two children go."

Mrs. Cheng had known that this would happen, so she was not surprised. She just kept apologizing to Mrs. Song.

On the contrary, Mrs. Song was a little embarrassed.

It was difficult for Mr. Song to interrupt the child's handwork, so he just sat aside, drinking one bowl of tea after another like a boring gourd.

Pei Shao sat next to Mr. Cheng, his almond-shaped eyes darting around. When he saw Song Tinglan, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This was the first time she saw Song Tinglan.

She is dressed in pink clothes, but she is not weak at all, but has a tough temperament around her. With bright eyes and good eyesight, and skin as smooth as gel, she looks like a great beauty.

Yan Gou Pei Shao was attracted almost immediately.

I felt even more heartbroken.

Such a great beauty! The second brother didn’t seize the opportunity! Instead, he was played around by a scheming woman! It's such a pity that I don't even know about the first-come-first-served position near the water...

Sensing Pei Shao's gaze, the beauty raised her head and met her eyes, with a slight smile on her face.

Pei Shao was stunned.
