After Yusheng's departure the whole place become cold from Pei Jin releasing his chilly aura. Chen Yi was shocked and nervous from the sudden change in his nephew. Then remembering the gossip of how this nephew had turned to a henpecked husband like his father he regrets his desicion to stay behind.
While Qingfeng was all pouty and grumbling of being restricted and not to mention having to remain in this stingy demons presence. With nowhere to vent his unhappiness he foolishly attacks Pei Jin.
"What..I to am not fond and happy to be here...it was clearly your wife's instruction..how come that naughty fellow gets to roam around...he is much worse than me... if you have complains..go and talk with your wife...chiling the room with your aura to the point of freezing isn't going to help" grumbles and complains Qingfeng.
Pei Jin who was already irritated and annoyed was now livid with anger. Raising his eyebrow and curling his lip making him looking demonic he replies "Oh..so it's benwang's consort that is at fault..hehh..feng oh feng..seems like your bones are itching..ah.. seems to like you have forgotten about our past warming up excersise..ah..why don't we practice a bit as both us are free now...hmm?"
Qingfeng immediately sobers up from his grumbling when reminded of those times. More than excersise it was just him being a punching bag for Pei Jin. He quickly changes his tone and fawns on Pei Jin "hahaaa...no need..no need...we better not disturb others...and when did I say it was sister in laws fault...it's clearly my fault..my fault..staying here is good...come come though early why not share some cup of wine..Uncle Yi...how is everything in your side theses days?..been quite a time since we met"
Marshall Chen Yi who was clearly used as a shield feels helpless from the childish act of Qingfeng but still goes along to stop them from bickering. "Everything is good.. how is your father doing...have you talked to Zexu these days...heard he is doing very well and showing his talents as vice general" asks Chen Yi to change the topic but before Qingfeng could answer Pei Jin attacks again.
"Of course Zexu is doing well...though young he has the right composure unlike his frivolous, flirty and itchy eldest brother...that is why Yu'er chose him for the position unlike his frivolous brother who was reprimanded twice counting today..
Must have eaten some pigs brain thus effecting his own brain..trying to be some..wise great general...infront of benwang's beloved consort..but instead turned to a circus clown..disgracing himself and even managing to gain dislike..
While world knows of how much benevolent Yu'er is..most of time she is very good natured and isn't interested in other party...managing to draw dislike from her from first meeting..say feng should I call you brave or down right idiot.." snorts Pei Jin rubbing lemon all over Qingfeng's face.
Qingfeng though sour and dark face doesn't bicker with him in fear of being dragged to become a punching bag. As if not heard a thing turns to the side and looks at the wall as gold was sprouting from it.
Chen Yi couldn't help but agree that his nephew had become more stingy with improved poison tongue of his. Not wanting to squish himself he makes silly excuse and takes his leave.
The atmosphere had turned more chilly with the two. Even the servants couldn't help but tremble from cold while serving wine and dishes fleeing the scene immediately after their task.
Sipping the poured wine Qingfeng pouts to Pei Jin "I was not that bad..I was just curious about her..not to mention I was respectful till the end.."
"Hah..don't stick gold on your face now..what not bad..you clearly had intention of making trouble..even after given chance..you were stubborn...feng think yourself lucky that Yu'er let you off with some words...if not for that I had good plans for you...
But my Yu'er is indeed very intelligent..she can differentiate between good and bad..it's because of your frivolous nature that even I am suffering..having to babysit you..wonder how the world will view you if it were to leak..ah.." Pei Jin rubs more lemon.
Qinfeng finally unable to handle the sourness bursts "what intelligent and benevolent...she was clearly like you stingy and demonic..hah..birds of same feather indeed.."
Pei Jin smirk becoming more demonic after Qingfeng's outburst and before he could even blink he was dragged to a clear space to fight. Too late to say sorry he also attacks but as usual slowly he was becoming punching bag.
Finally after landing quite far from the kick he raises his both hand to surrender and says in a very pitiful voice "dear friend..mercy..ah..I accept my fault..so stop acting like I am your anger venting pot or punching bag..later..later for sure ..I will apologize to sister in law..ah.."
Pei Jin finally feeling a bit good snorts at his friend and orders him to be presentable and to come back in the dining hall and leaves flinging his sleeve.
