"Xu Xiaoyu, you'd better give me a good reason!"
She controlled her strength and slammed the table. The sound was so loud that it made people's ears itch.
Jiang Pengji didn't have a bad temper, but who would like to be woken up at a critical moment when they were sound asleep?
The weather in Hejian County was cold, not to mention the temperature in the middle of the night. It was chilly as if she had been thrown into an icehouse.
She waited patiently for Xu Ke to speak.
She wanted to know what kind of big matter it was that made him abandon his warm and fragrant wife and come to disturb her sleep in the cold air. Thinking of the hot bed and the soft quilt, Jiang Pengji couldn't be nice to Xu Ke.
Sitting on the seat of honor, she rubbed her face to dispel her sleepiness and stared at Xu Ke, who was kneeling in front of her.
Xu Ke had just been married, but he could hold his wife and have sex with her. It was hard not to feel hot.
But she was just a single dog, all alone. If the heat in the blanket ran away, she would have to warm it up again, okay?
"Why are you here in the middle of the night, instead of holding your wife and carrying on the family line?"
Jiang Pengji's tone was harsh. There was still a red sleep mark on one side of her face, which showed how bad her mood was.
Xu Ke coughed secretly. He was a little uneasy.
He only remembered that the matter was important, but he forgot that it was not a good time to disturb her.
Most of them had fallen into a deep sleep, including Jiang Pengji.
"I have something important to tell you, Langjun. Please calm down a little."
He was really afraid that Jiang Pengji would be in a fit of anger. After hearing about Xun Mei, she would add fuel to the fire and accidentally hurt her teammates.
"Say it! I'm very calm now. "
Jiang Pengji said with a long face. Her mood was obviously not as good as she said.
Xu Ke was speechless and thought for a while.
"This matter is related to my wife, Xunmei. Please forgive her this time, considering that she has been by your side and carefully took care of you. If you are still angry after hearing this, you can blame it on me. I only hope that you can give her a chance to make up for her mistakes. "
Xu Ke said solemnly. He told her everything Xun Mei had told him, no matter how big or small.
It was not difficult to explain the matter clearly. The difficult part was how to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial, so as to remove Xunmei from this matter.
Fortunately, Xunmei hadn't really done anything wrong yet. Confessing would actually result in a lighter sentence.
However, Jiang Pengji's reaction was beyond Xu Ke's expectation.
Even if she didn't fly into a rage, she should have shown a gloomy and angry expression. After all, Xun Mei's actions had already constituted betrayal.
"I knew about this a long time ago, but I didn't expect Xunmei to confess to you so soon."
As soon as Jiang Pengji spoke, Xu Ke's expression changed.
She continued, "Xunmei is very tight-lipped, and she's very defensive. As far as I know, you're the only one she's told. At first I thought she would keep it a secret until it was too late. If the news gets out, she'll be in an awkward situation. "
Xunmei's act of betrayal could be called "unjust" and "disloyal"!
As her husband, how could Xu Ke not feel disgusted by such a woman?
Not to mention that Xunmei had betrayed the Liu residence.
The Liu residence was indebted to Xunmei and Xu Ke!
As a scholar, it was impossible for him to accept such a stain on his reputation.
"When did you know about it?"
Xu Ke was dumbfounded. If Xunmei hadn't taken the initiative to tell him, he wouldn't have noticed.
Jiang Pengji smiled. "There's no perfect plan in this world. Xunmei and Taxue aren't professional spies, so they're not good at hiding. Some of their actions are different from usual. As long as you're careful, you'll notice. "
Xu Ke was startled when he heard that. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Xunmei took the initiative to tell you about it, which also shows her position," Jiang Pengji said. She looked into Xu Ke's eyes and said, "Go back and comfort her, lest she thinks too much. As for Taxue, we can't touch her for now, but I'll take her away. The Liu residence is usually heavily guarded, so the people in the dark won't dare to extend their claws in. Xunmei is just an unimportant chess piece, so she won't be in danger. "
Xu Ke sat on his knees with his hands clenched into fists.
His expression was inexplicably complicated. "You don't care about Xunmei's mistakes?"
"She didn't do any substantial harm, and she's your wife. Why should I care about her mistakes?" Jiang Pengji shook her head and said, "In fact, when Xunmei wanted to marry you, I didn't plan to settle the score."
Xu Ke was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"She's a smart woman. I think she already realized that her future was uncertain, so she wanted to retreat and get out of the swamp. You said it yourself, she took care of me for many years, and our relationship is no less than that of a biological brother and sister. If that's the case, why would I kill her because of the harm that hasn't happened yet? I gave her a chance, and fortunately, Xunmei didn't let me down. "
Xu Ke was silent for a long time after hearing that.
"I don't support the marriage between you and Xunmei. Do you know why?" Jiang Pengji explained in detail, "There are two reasons. First, you, Xu Xiaoyu, are not an ordinary person. People's hearts change. If you become successful in the future, and Xunmei is just an ordinary woman, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep you, and you'll end up as a resentful couple. Second, even if I forgive her, it'll always be a hidden danger if I don't say it out loud."
Fortunately, Xunmei took the initiative to confess, which left a great buffer for the contradiction. It could be said that she made up for her mistake.
After a long time, Jiang Pengji added, "I don't blame her."
In fact, there was really nothing to blame.
She yawned and said sleepily, "If there's nothing else, go back and hug your wife. Don't disturb my sleep."
Xu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He thought the matter was serious, so he came here in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect to get such an outcome.
"Ke thanks you on behalf of my wife."
Xu Ke had reason to believe that the person in front of him had a rare breadth of mind.
"Are you done?"
Jiang Pengji supported her head with one hand, and sleepiness came over her.
The couple was fighting, and she, as a single dog, was disturbed from her sleep. She could only fight with her eyelids.
Xu Ke also knew how to read people's faces. He knew that Jiang Pengji was sleepy, so he bowed and left.
Jiang Pengji took a deep breath and tried to keep her eyes open. She crawled back to the bed with her hands and feet, hugging the quilt and rolling to the inside of the bed.
The world was big, but sleep was the most important. Anything else could wait until dawn!
Xu Ke carried the lantern back to his room. There was a lamp in the room, and the orange candlelight warmed his heart.
"It's settled."
He took off his outer shirt and put it aside. He hugged Xunmei's waist and sighed as he rested his head on her shoulder.
"It's settled? So fast? "
Xunmei waited anxiously, and her heart was anxious.
"Yes, Langjun is broad-minded. Ordinary people can't be compared to him. I've informed him about this, so it should be settled. "
Xunmei lowered her eyelids, and her heart finally fell to the ground.
"We're leaving tomorrow …" Xu Ke whispered, "But it's still early. My wife, settle down."
"Huh?"
