Chapter 239: Poisoned

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If it couldn’t be Bai Jingyuan, there was still Xie Xingyun!

Pei Ying made up her mind and swam towards Xie Xingyun’s ship.

By the time she reached the shore, her clothes were drenched.

The people on the ship still did not know what had happened. The guards fished her out. “Why is there a girl who fell into the water?”

Pei Ying looked extremely pathetic. “1 was… chased out by Miss Bai.”

When the surrounding guards heard this, someone recognized her. “So it’s Miss Pei from Lord Bai’s ship.”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They could only say, “I’ll report to Commander Xiao. Miss, wait for a while.”

Pei Ying asked, “Where’s your master?”

“Master is in the room bathing.”

Pei Ying’s eyes lit up. “Then I’ll ask him myself if I could stay!”

“Miss, please wait!” The guard’s expression became serious. “Master doesn’t like people getting close to him, especially women.”

“Oh… Then I’ll go over there and sit down. The wind is strong here, and it’s a little cold.”

The guard looked at her clothes. A weak woman indeed could not stand the cold, so he said, “Go ahead.”

With that, someone immediately went to inform Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng had been so busy these past few days that he was dizzy. He had finally finished his work and rested early.

While the guards went to report, Pei Ying quickly found a man’s room!

Hearing the sound of water inside, it must be Xie Xingyun’s room!

Now that she had learned her lesson, it was best to be more direct. If a man saw a woman’s body, he would definitely not be able to hold it in!

Xie Xingyun was even a Marquis. With such a noble status, it would be good to even be a concubine!

Pei Ying loosened the straps of her clothes and everything else, then without knocking on the door, she directly pushed the door open and entered.

The man sat in the bathtub with his back facing her, revealing his strong shoulders. His chest was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. His arm was resting on the edge of the wooden barrel!

Pei Ying immediately took off her clothes. She was only wearing a thin undergarment. She approached him quietly and with the wooden barrel’s support, she suddenly jumped in front of him!

“Ahhhh—!”

“All, ah—!!”

Two screams sounded at the same time. One was a woman, and the other was a man!

Gu Yu grabbed the woman and threw her out of the bathtub. His eyes widened and his face turned green and red. “Damn, where did this woman come from!! Why is there a woman on Xie Xingyun’s ship?!”

Pei Ying was thrown in front of a large vat. Instantly, all the Gu worms in the vat surged out!

She screamed in panic, “Ah!! There are so many worms, help!”

As she spoke, she ran towards Gu Yu again. Gu Yu was about to vomit blood!

He could not possibly wear clothes in front of her, but how could he hide from her without clothes!

“Don’t come over!! If you come any closer, 1’11 throw you out of the window!”

“Young Master, save me!”

“Don’t come over, help!!”

“Xie Xingyun! Xiao Zheng, save me!”

When Xiao Zheng heard the commotion and rushed over, he saw a woman in thin clothes chasing Gu Yu all over the room. As she ran, she cried. Gu Yu moved his bathtub and his face turned red. He used all his strength to distance himself from her!

H H

“Save me, Xiao Zheng. There’s a female hooligan here!”

Xiao Zheng,”…”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly closed his eyes and listened to the commotion to grab the woman!

Then, Pei Ying was covered with a robe.

She cried, “Isn’t this Lord Xie’s room? Why is there another man?”

After Gu Yu put on his clothes, he had no time to care about her. He was busy catching the Gu worms that were running around!

“This is my room! Xie Xingyun’s is next door!” Gu Yu almost couldn’t breathe. “Xiao Zheng, quickly send someone to help me catch the worms.”

Xiao Zheng nodded and immediately found someone.

Pei Ying was lying on the ground and crying pitifully. Her shoulders were shaking. At this moment, Xie Xingyun also came.

He glanced at the person on the ground expressionlessly. “What happened?”

Pei Ying restrained the nervousness in her heart and suddenly threw Xiao Zheng’s robe aside. She went forward and wanted to hug Xie Xingyun’s leg. “Sir, save me!”

Xie Xingyun slowly drew the guard’s sword. “Stop.”

Pei Ying did not dare to take another step forward!

She cried, “Sir, Miss Bai threw me into the water because of a misunderstanding. I have no one to rely on now. 1 only have a pure body. I’m willing to serve you!”

This was the first time Xiao Zheng had seen such a bold woman.. There were so many guards on the ship, but she actually said such words!
