Chapter 235: Chapter 236: Forced Kiss Chapter 235: Chapter 236: Forced Kiss The two left the Princess’s Mansion, and Shao He shook off his hand, frowning, “You are being too impulsive, this will expose the relationship between us. Even if I adamantly refuse, Princess Huimin wouldn’t be able to do much.”
What she feared more was that The Emperor would punish Pei Huaian again because of this.
“No, I can’t let you and the child suffer any more grievances and harm.”
In the past, he had no way to protect them openly, but now that things had co to this point, he didn’t want to continue letting Shao He and the child suffer.
He would fight with everything he had to protect them!
Shao He was sowhat touched inside, looking at the man’s resolute profile and spoke gently, “By doing this, you are completely severing ties with Princess Huimin. Are you sure you won’t regret this?”
Pei Huaian held her hand, tenderly saying, “I won’t regret it, I just want you and our child to be safe and sound.”
“But I still have to marry soone, how… mmm…” Her words were swallowed up by their lips eting.
Shao He widened her eyes, incredulously staring at the handso face before her, a thought flashing through her mind—
He was taking advantage of her, her hand had just been raised when he caught it, it took a while before Pei Huaian finally let her go with a deep gaze, his voice husky and seductive, exuding lethal attraction.
“I won’t allow you to talk about marrying anyone else, you can only marry .”
Shao He’s cheeks reddened, and she glared at him angrily, “You… seducer!”
Then she shook off his hand and hurriedly left, going a distance before patting her flushed cheeks, what was wrong with her, why did her mind go blank in that instant, even forgetting to resist.
Pei Huaian followed behind with a smile on his lips, continuing until he saw her enter her room before he stopped following her.
He raised his hand and touched his lips, understanding in his heart that Shao He’s actions belied her true feelings, she must like him too.
“Master, I’ve found out that Chu Yu hasn’t found any leads connecting to the Second Prince. In recent days, he’s been focused on getting back the young master.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Huaian raised his eyebrows, sarcasm in his eyes.
“Since that’s the case, let’s help him out.”
Ah Mo didn’t understand what his master ant, why should they help Chu Yu.
Before he could ask, Pei Huaian explained, “What if his investigation leads to Pei Chengye, how will Pei Chengye react to protect himself?”
“Does the master want to kill with a borrowed knife?” Ah Mo realized, surprised.
“Exactly, use this case to swiftly trap Chu Yu; I need to deal with him quickly.”
Ah Mo frowned, “Master, haven’t we already set them up to be at each other’s throats? Isn’t intervening now a bit improper?”
Pei Huaian shook his head, silent for a long ti before slowly saying, “Chu Yu needs to be dealt with quickly.”
Ah Mo understood that Chu Yu was a man who couldn’t be kept around.
Shao He returned to Anji Hall, and as soon as she walked in, she saw Jhiang Yijia waiting inside.
“How co you didn’t ntion you were coming? Have you been waiting here for a long ti?”
“Not too long.”
Having said this with a guilty expression, Jhiang Yijia said, “I ca here to apologize for what happened to you at the full moon feast.”
He had always thought that if he hadn’t sent Shao He an invitation, perhaps she wouldn’t have been humiliated by Princess Ninghe.
Shao He smiled and waved her hand, pulling him toward the back garden, “Speaking of which, I should be thanking you for standing before then.”
Jhiang Yijia was slightly startled, he hadn’t taken that incident to heart, but Shao He still rembered, and he felt sowhat embarrassed, “I didn’t actually help you out of that situation, instead, I let you be wronged.”
Shao He smiled jokingly, “If you say that, I’m going to feel hurt.”
Jhiang Yijia couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s not what I ant.”
As they talked, the two reached the back yard chamber, where blossoms filled the air as flowers freshly picked were arranged in the room.
“How have you been doing at the Fang Family recently?” Shao He knew his situation there must be difficult.
Especially since last ti, going against Princess Ninghe for her sake would definitely have displeased Lady Fang.
Sure enough, Jhiang Yijia sighed, slowly saying, “Ah, Lady Fang keeps pushing maids towards , overtly saying it’s to care for the child, but actually she wants to give them to Fang Jue, which leaves no good way to refuse. I can only keep one honest person to get by.”
“As long as Fang Jue isn’t interested, Lady Fang can do whatever she wants, it’s no bother.”
“Fang Jue hasn’t looked at them from the start, and he even had a big fight with his mother over this.”
As Jhiang Yijia ntioned his husband, the corners of his lips unconsciously curved slightly, his eyes brimming with affection.
Shao He smiled and asked, “How about the child? She is the first child I actually delivered myself.”
Jhiang Yijia imdiately had the nanny bring over the child, Shao He saw the chubby little one and couldn’t help but adore him; this child looked so tender and fresh unlike the initially seen Xiao Linzhang.
Jhiang Yijia also leaned over, just about to hold the child when he was handed over, the child started to wail loudly.
“Wah, wah…”
This startled everyone present, even Shao He didn’t react in ti.
At that mont, a capable and plain maid hurried into the room, skillfully took the child in her arms, and the child suddenly stopped crying.
This series of abnormalities made Shao He narrow her eyes slightly.
It wasn’t right, how could the child not recognize his mother, yet be so close to a stranger?
