Chapter 475 (2/2)

”What?” Ning Mingjie frowned.

Pengxin continued to cry as she said, ”I want my sword. Without my sword, I can only be bullied by you and everyone else. Give me back my sword. If you dare to act so horridly towards me again, I'll hack you into pieces!”

Ning Mingjie was so angry that he laughed. ”You were the one that made a mistake. And you're demanding me to not act horridly?”

Pengxin angrily said, ”If Luoqi hadn't said that you still love Ji-s.h.i.+ the most, why would I have gone there to look for her? I didn't bring my sword with me. I just wanted to see what kind of woman you like so that I can learn from her! You haven't come over to see me in half a month! Why can't I compete for favor too?! What have I done wrong?!”

Luoqi said that? Ning Mingjie slightly froze in surprise for a moment. ”It was because of her words that you went to Marquis Moyu's estate?”

”Exactly.” Pengxin wiped her snot on the lapel of his robe. ”I understand things now. She got me to go there because she knew you would get angry. Ji-s.h.i.+ was right. I can't trust her words.”

Ning Mingjie was stunned.

Luoqi was someone that had been by his side since early on. She had always been a kind-hearted and sensible woman. She was considerate and gentle. That's why, after she gave birth to a child, he had promoted her to an honored concubine.

The woman in his arms was a carefree and careless person, who wasn't the type to be suspicious about other people. Could she have really been wrongfully accused?

After a long time pa.s.sed, Ning Mingjie sighed and said, ”In the future, go to the marquis's estate less often and talk to Luoqi less too.”

”En.” Pengxin nodded. Her eyes brightened. ”Then, I won't have anyone to talk too. You can't ignore me again. Otherwise, I'll die of loneliness.”

Ning Mingjie put her down next to him and said, ”En, that won't happen.”

The foolish girl smiled. She had already forgotten about getting her sword back.

Pengxin didn't have a child, and Luoqi's child, Ning Jinxing, was already five years old. From the household's important matters to the trifling ones, Luoqi was still in charge of everything. It was because the Yuzhen Princess was illiterate and didn't know how to handle these matters.

Ning Mingjie was very busy. When he was home, he could only keep Pengxin company once every few days. Since Pengxin was very bored, Ji Man sent over Zhu Yurun to keep her company.

Zhu Yurun said, ”I don't know why, but Mister Ji said we're the same type. So, she told me to come over often and chat with you.”

Pengxin looked at the chubby young woman in front of her. Could it be that in Ji-s.h.i.+'s eyes, she was also a chubby person? She felt distressed at this thought.

Still, with someone coming over to keep her company, Pengxin felt a lot happier. She would occasionally go with Zhu Yurun to a Hundred Flowers a.s.sociation to play. Her days pa.s.sed by easily.

However, one day, Zhu Yurun happened to come over while she was eating, and her entire face scrunched up. ”Is the general's household lacking in money? You're the main wife. Why are you only eating this?”

Zhu Yurun wasn't sensitive to the clothes and jewelry that Pengxin worse, but she was very sensitive to food. ”There's only a small plate of meat and two plates of vegetarian dishes. Isn't this an ordinary concubine's meal?”
