Chapter 191 Being Stimulated
Pei Jingyi's eyes were filled with resentment. He stared at Xie Shuyao and repeated, "Don't you really want to see me?"
Xie Shuyao glanced at him and said, "Not really."
Without waiting for her to explain, Pei Jingyi seemed to suddenly understand, and said with a self-deprecating chuckle: "You think it doesn't matter whether you see me or not."
Because I don’t like it and don’t care, so I don’t care at all.
Xie Shuyao didn't know how to respond to this, so she just pursed her lips and lowered her head without saying anything.
After two seconds of silence, Pei Jingyi stood up and left. "Okay, these are the dishes for the banquet. You can go now."

After leaving the General's Mansion, Xie Shuyao kept recalling Pei Jingyi's face when he left, and always felt a tightness in her chest.
In fact, it wasn't his fault, it was because she didn't remember him. If she were Pei Jingyi, she might not do better than him.
Because she felt guilty, she went to find Pei Jingyi on the day of the banquet, intending to make things clear.
But when she found Jiangdong, she learned that Pei Jingyi was not there.
"There was a party at his mansion, but he wasn't there. What's going on?"
Jiang Dong shook his head, revealing a helpless expression, "There's nothing we can do. The general is in Nanjing and won't be able to come back for a while."
When Xie Shuyao heard the word Jinling, she felt it sounded familiar. Wasn't this the place she heard when she met Pei Jingyi last time?
She had a bad feeling in her heart and subconsciously asked, "What did he do there?"
Although Pei Jingyi had told Jiang Dong not to talk nonsense, Jiang Dong felt that Xie Shuyao still needed to know, so he leaned over and said:
"The general was supposed to recuperate, but for some reason, he insisted on going to Nanjing a few days ago as if he was provoked.
Now, he was injured while participating in the campaign to suppress the rebels, and his old injuries recurred, so he fell ill and will not be able to recover for a while."
After saying this, Jiang Dong looked at Xie Shuyao with a meaningful look in his eyes.
After meeting Xie Shuyao, Pei Jingyi left. It was possible that the person who caused this incident was her.
As soon as the words fell, Xie Shuyao's face changed.
Pei Jingyi is too impulsive. He left just because she asked him to? Does he have his own opinion?
And he was injured. Why was he dancing with a sword with his bare chest that day? No wonder his old injury relapsed.
Xie Shuyao left in a daze, and after returning to Wangyue Tower, she comforted herself: It is inevitable that soldiers will get injured. This wasn't her fault, so it's none of her business.
Yes, he was just being stubborn, it had nothing to do with her!
Xie Shuyao comforted herself like this as she went to sleep, but in her half-awake state, she kept thinking about the conversation she had with Pei Jingyi before he left.
"You want me to leave?"
"Of course!"
Xie Shuyao didn't sleep well that night.
The next morning, seeing the shop assistants going out of town to buy supplies, she suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I have to go out for a while too."
*
When the carriage stopped at the Jinling government office, Xie Shuyao suddenly felt a little regretful.
I heard from Jiang Dong that Pei Jingyi was recuperating here, but they were not related at all, so why did she come all the way here?
"Well... I was just passing by and wanted to see if you were seriously injured."
Ah! Why do you want to curse me like that?
"Hey, why are you so serious? I just said it casually and you took it seriously."
It still doesn't work. Why does this sound so ambiguous?
Forget it, she should just go back.
However, when Xie Shuyao turned around, she suddenly met Jiang Dong who had been waiting there for a long time.
Jiang Dong smiled widely and said, "Madam, I knew you would come today."
*
Xie Shuyao entered the house with a nervous mood, but was startled by Pei Jingyi's angry voice before she reached the door.
"Didn't I say I don't want to take medicine? If you dare bring it in again, I'll pour it into your mouth!"
