After Jiaojiao got pregnant, her husband who died in the war came back

Chapter 146 Becoming suspicious

Bai Zhi found Pei Jingyi almost immediately, and while they were discussing the battle plan, she came close to him and said carefully:

"General, I think I saw the lady today."

With the experience from last time, Bai Zhi didn't say anything so decisively, for fear that Xie Shuyao would try to cut off the source of the trouble again.

Pei Jingyi didn't react when he heard this at first, and answered casually: "Really?"

It was obvious that he had no intention of continuing the conversation with her.

He didn't know Bai Zhi's thoughts before, but now that he knows, he should keep his distance and not give her false hope.

Bai Zhi had already anticipated Pei Jingyi's reaction, so she had her ultimate move ready for later.

She then said, "She seems to be with the Third Prince, talking and laughing, and they seem to be very familiar with each other."

After he finished speaking, Pei Jingyi's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, but his gaze was still on the letter in his hand, and he did not look up.

Bai Zhi couldn't see his expression clearly, and couldn't figure out his reaction for a moment. She pursed her red lips and said tentatively:

"No wonder the plan worked. Could it be that Madam and the Third Prince are old acquaintances? If we had known about this relationship, we wouldn't have had to wait so long."

At this point, Pei Jingyi finally had some reaction.

He raised his head, glanced at Bai Zhi, and said expressionlessly, "Anything else?"

The tone was calm and indifferent, without any impatience or questioning, which really confused Bai Zhi.

She had known that Pei Jingyi never showed his emotions, but she hadn't expected him to be so good at hiding it. He didn't even react when he was cuckolded. Or did Xie Shuyao really have a relationship with Shangguan Hao, and he knew it too.

Bai Zhi lost her confidence, shook her head and said, "No more."

Pei Jingyi didn't say anything else, and his meaning was very clear: he could leave if everything was fine.

Bai Zhi left in disappointment, and the moment she closed the door, Pei Jingyi revealed a sinister expression that was completely different from his usual one.

He clenched his hands at his sides into fists, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes were as cold as a sword.

In the evening, Xie Shuyao took a shower, put on the pajamas she had just bought today, wiped herself clean, and then prepared to go out.

The moment she pushed open the door, Xie Shuyao was caught off guard by the tall figure outside. She covered her chest with her hands and screamed, "Ah! When did you get here?"

Pei Jingyi was dressed in black and had a cold expression on his face. If Xie Shuyao had not been familiar with this face, she would have thought that he was an enemy coming to claim her life.

She let out a long sigh, not noticing that Pei Jingyi's expression was strange, and walked straight to the bronze mirror and took out the night cream to wipe her face.

The two of them have done it more than once, so there is no need for fake greetings.

Pei Jingyi followed Xie Shuyao's gaze, took off the sword from his waist, threw it aside, and asked expressionlessly: "Where did you go today?"

When he asked, Xie Shuyao jumped up immediately, ran to the bedside, dug out a bundle, took out the things inside and gestured, saying:

"I went shopping and bought a lot of things. These are the underwear I bought for you. Do you want to try them on?"

As she spoke, she compared the clothes to Pei Jingyi, looked at the size and nodded with satisfaction, "It's okay if you don't try it on, there will definitely be no problem."

She knew Pei Jingyi's waist size very well and would not buy the wrong one.

Xie Shuyao put away her clothes and muttered to herself:

"If it's inconvenient to wash clothes, you can just change and wear them. Oh, and here are two pairs of shoes. I'll leave them here for you."

Seeing her busying around, Pei Jingyi's expression suddenly softened, but he still said nothing.

Only then did Xie Shuyao notice that his silence was different from before.
