Chapter 167 Girl, please respect yourself
Chapter 167 Girl, please respect yourself
Now that the weather is getting colder, Gu Jiaorong also changed into new clothes.
Now that her belly is obvious, she can no longer wear her spring clothes. Fortunately, Fanglan made many new clothes for her in her spare time, and they were also brought by Shaoyao this time.
"It looks like it fits me well. Fanglan's craftsmanship is really good. I must reward her when I get back."
Gu Jiaorong looked at herself in the mirror and she was still so radiant, and this was also related to the clothes she was wearing.
As the saying goes, Buddha needs golden attire and people need clothes. Even if a woman is very beautiful, her pearls will be covered in dust if she wears a coarse linen shirt.
Gu Jiaorong understood the situation clearly, so she naturally wouldn't pretend to be noble in this regard.
She knew that even during pregnancy, she couldn't live in a sloppy manner, as that would only be annoying.
"Then I would like to thank Auntie on Fanglan's behalf."
Shaoyao and Fanglan have always had a good relationship, so when they heard this, they naturally responded with a smile.
"I've made a note of this for her. When we get back, I'm going to give her a good meal and ask her to treat me to a good meal."
These girls all grew up in the palace. Even if their relatives are still alive, except for the children born in the family, most of the others have very ordinary relationships with their families.
It’s not that they are cruel, but those who are sold as slaves usually have many brothers and sisters in the family, and the one who is sold is the least favored.
For a family like this, even if they go back, they may not get what they want. It is better for them to save some money for themselves so that if they have the opportunity to redeem the family in the future, they can live a stable life.
When Gu Jiaorong thought of this, she felt that the original owner was an innocent person.
Even though her parents were so partial to her, she was still willing to keep bringing money home.
Such a greedy pair of parents can only rely on money to maintain family affection. Once Gu Jiaorong has no money, they will immediately turn against her and even use filial piety to pressure her.
If it was not her who was pregnant with Pei Xu's child at this moment, but the original Gu Jiaorong, then Gu Jiaorong would definitely use the child as a condition to create a better living environment for her parents' family.
"Why are you so stupid?"
Gu Jiaorong spoke softly. She was speaking to her body, not to anyone else, so there was no need to speak too loudly.
"Auntie, why are you frowning? What's the problem?"
After Shaoyao finished having fun, she noticed that something was not right with Gu Jiaorong.
She has been serving Gu Jiaorong for a long time and is very familiar with her every move.
"Nothing, just thinking about something, don't worry."
Gu Jiaorong waved her hand without explaining to her what she was thinking.
There are many things that cannot be told to outsiders, and only she needs to understand them.
Besides, even if this kind of thing is said out loud, it seems a bit strange.
Pei Xu is a prince after all, so it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines, and she is just a concubine now.
When Pei Xu loses interest in her and the old is replaced by the new, it will be of no use even if she dresses up beautifully.
Therefore, if she were Pei Yunqing, she would take action at this time to alienate her relationship with Pei Xu.
Although it is not easy to guess Pei Xu's preferences, it is certain that he is good-looking.
A beautiful young woman, her heart and eyes completely devoted to a man. Even if the man is determined, he probably won't be able to resist for long.
Just as Gu Jiaorong thought, people of all kinds and appearances began to appear around Pei Xu.
No matter how perceptive Pei Xu was, he could not have imagined that Pei Yunqing would come up with such a bad idea. It was really disgusting.
Even though he might not be a loyal person, he was not the kind of person who was seduced on impulse. All the women he was close to were just taking advantage of his relationship.
Even when it came to Gu Jiaorong at first, he couldn't see his heart clearly right away, but as they got along, he accepted her more and more.
Pei Xu thought that he was a heartless person, but he never thought that Pei Yunqing was even more despicable than him.
Perhaps this is because the Pei family has a common lineage.
None of them was honest in this matter, and all of them had taken advantage of women.
It’s just that Pei Xu received more information and his moral standards were slightly higher.
He frowned and looked at the woman approaching with a defensive look on his face.
If Pei Yunqing saw him like this, others would probably think that he had a mental problem. Since a romantic encounter was right at his doorstep and he didn't have to take responsibility, why not take advantage of it?
But Pei Xu is not a casual person, and he gave all his indulgence in the next life to Gu Jiaorong.
If possible, he hoped that Gu Jiaorong would be the first and the last person, and there would never be a second person except Gu Jiaorong.
Pei Xu already regretted that he did not take Gu Jiaorong seriously, but treated her like a plaything.
"Girl, please respect yourself."
Pei Xu took a step back and looked at the woman in front of him with a cold voice.
He came to Jinzhou City for serious business, not for pleasure, so sending women to him was not a very clever method.
When the woman heard Pei Xu's words, she bit her lip, her eyes red, and looked at Pei Xu pitifully.
"Your Highness, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to thank you for helping us."
The other person's voice was soft and gentle, yet with a hint of tenderness, as if she was imitating Gu Jiaorong.
"No need to thank me. This is what I should do. Besides, this matter is not over yet. It won't be too late to thank me after it's over."
Pei Xu acted in a businesslike manner and obviously had no intention of communicating with her properly.
Even though her master had told her when she came that Pei Xu was not someone who could be easily seduced, she still felt ashamed and angry after being rejected.
"Your Majesty~"
The woman called out to Pei Xu, her tone of voice full of twists and turns, obviously wanting to pull him into her own world.
Only when Pei Xu faces it can she truly start.
"Your Majesty, it was my fault. I will never do it again."
Pei Xu raised his hand and asked the guards around him to help her up. I don’t know whether you sincerely apologize, but you now have a chance to atone for your sins. Whether you have direct contact with him or not, the cooperation in this regard is consistent.
"You're already the third one. I advise you that trying to get the skin of a tiger will not end well. No matter what Pei Yunqing promised you, he won't really give it to you. He's just using you."
Pei Xu originally didn't want to tell them this. Pei Yunqing's use of others had nothing to do with him.
He really didn't have the patience to play with these people.
If he wants to see beautiful women, he might as well go home and look after Jiaorong.
What's more, these people were probably brought here on purpose, and they actually have some resemblance to Gu Jiaorong.
The woman naturally knew that she was the third one. The first two had failed, so she thought she would be different, but the result was no different.
Pei Xu looked at her without any ambiguity in his eyes.
"My Lord, I don't know what you are talking about."
The woman refused to admit it. Since she had already received the deposit, she naturally had to do the job well.
