Chapter 783: Punishment
When Pei Qinghan returned to Changyuan Houfu, he immediately went to the courtyard where Bai Zhenzhu lived.
There was charcoal burning in the pavilion, which made the cold wind outside the house warm like spring.
Bai Zhenzhu was wearing a delicately embroidered lily dress. Her dark yellow skin became much whiter under the intensive care these days. However, her appearance was inborn, so no matter how much she dressed beautifully, her appearance didn’t change.
A maidservant was ma.s.saging her shoulders, while the other maidservant was peeling an apple for her. Bai Zhenzhu was sitting in a cus.h.i.+oned chair leisurely with her eyes closed.
The next moment, the door was kicked open, and Pei Qinghan came in angrily.
The two maidservants stopped what they were doing and looked at their master in a daze. Bai Zhenzhu opened her eyes. When she saw the look on Pei Qinghan’s face, she didn’t even get scared at all.
She had Pei Qinghan’s weakness in her hands, so she was not afraid of what he will do to her. It was he who was supposed to be afraid of her.
“Father looks like has something to say!”
Pei Qinghan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, then waved his hand for the maidservants to retreat and made them closed the door. He walked closer to Bai Zhenzhu and slapped her in the face. Bai Zhenzhu felt dizzy and heard a ringing sound in her ear as blood flow from the corner of her lips.
“You are so courageous. You dare to instigate the Bai father and son to kidnap and kill my daughter? You seemed to have eaten the gallbladder of a leopard.”
Bai Zhenzhu held her swollen and painful cheek. She didn’t show any slightest fear on her face. Instead, she sneered: “What? You just learn about it right now? But now you don’t have evidence. So I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to convict me.”
Pei Qinghan suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Zhenzhu’s slender neck.
Bai Zhenzhu couldn’t breathe. This time, she began to feel nervous. When people become extremely angry, they will have an impulse. And when they were under the impulse, they will suddenly make mistake.
“You, aren’t you afraid, Liu, Liu Guihua—” She said these words intermittently.
Pei Qinghan suddenly drew back his hand: “Bai Zhenzhu, this is the last time I will warn you. If you want to survive, you should stay here honestly. Otherwise, I might kill you at any time.”
When Pei Qinghan finished saying those words, he turned around and left. He didn’t dare to stay in this place for another second, for fear that he would really kill Bai Zhenzhu in an impulse.
It’s not because he pitied this lady, but because he couldn’t kill her until he hasn’t caught Mrs. Liu and her son.
After Pei Qinghan went out, he directly called the head maidservant in charge of the backyard and told her to stop the charcoal supply in the Lan Courtyard and all the expenses for food and clothing. All the maidservants must also be transferred somewhere else so that Bai Zhenzhu could enjoy the ‘Prosperity and wealth’ in the yard all by herself.
After returning to the study room, Si Fu said to Pei Qinghan: “Houye, I’m afraid she won’t give up just like this after experiencing a good life.”
Pei Qinghan coldly snorted: “What else can she do aside from sneaking out to find Mrs. Liu? I’m afraid she would look for her soon. And that would be the best.”
Si Fu understood immediately and laughed: “It’s still Houye who is clever.”
The warm inner chamber in the pavilion became cold little by little. The floor outside has long been cold like mud. Bai Zhenzhu couldn’t help but wear another piece of cloth. Most of the cotton-padded coats worn by the young ladies in the capital were made out of brocade. To make it look attractive, it was only filled with a little cotton. It was good to wear a single one. However, wearing two could make people look fat and ugly. So wearing this kind of clothing was only advisable inside a warm pavilion.
Bai Zhenzhu wore one piece after another, but she still felt cold. She yelled to call the maidservants outside, but no one answered her. The hot tea in the teapot on the table turned cold, but no one helped her make another one. Bai Zhenzhu felt strange. Why was the room turned cold? She remembered that after Pei Qinghan left, her face hurt so bad that she lay on the bed to rest and fell asleep after lying down… …
