The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 208: Turning into Stone

In the Peng Mansion villa in Fugui City, Guo waited for a while and found that Peng Qi did not move.

He asked tentatively from under the covers, "Master, when are you going to take action against Gongzi Ri?"

Peng Qi turned over and said, "Forget it! Zi Ri has already said that he will not tell anyone about this."

"In that case, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to just live in peace?"

"I feel like I'm really old, and I'm no longer interested in all that fighting and killing."

"I've noticed that the young master treats Ruo'er very well these days, and now I really can't bear to do it to her."

"If Zi Ri really ascends to the throne in the future, my Peng family will still prosper and become a royal family."

After hearing this, Guo felt discouraged and thought, as expected, the old man was persuaded by Peng Ruo.

Humph! It doesn't matter to you which of your two daughters becomes the Crown Princess.

But it is completely different for my mother and me. It seems that we can no longer rely on the old man and we have to rely on ourselves.

Thinking of this, she glared at Peng Qi fiercely, turned over and closed her eyes.

During this period, Zi Ri saw that Peng Qi had no intention of harming him anymore, and he gradually became close to Peng Qi's family.

They came to visit Peng's house every now and then, and Peng Qi was very satisfied.

Peng Xi, however, felt envious and jealous. He went to find Guo and angrily asked, "Mom! When are you going to kill them?"

Guo quickly covered her mouth: "Ancestor, keep your voice down, you are going to die!"

Peng Xi pushed her hand away: "It's been so many days and you still haven't done anything! Have you forgotten about this?"

Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes at her daughter. "That's easy to say, but killing them is not that easy!"

"Young Master Ri and Peng Ruo have only been coming back to the mansion more frequently recently. We have to find the right opportunity before we can take action!"

"Why did you have to do it in the mansion? Even if you kill them, can we get away with it?"

"Oh my dear, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. If anything happens to those two, it will be traced back to us!"

"This won't work! That won't work either! To put it bluntly, it's because you're too timid to do it!"

Mrs. Guo was irritated by her daughter's attitude. She glared at Peng Xi and said, "You're so brave! Go and do it yourself!"

Peng Xi said disdainfully, "I'll do it! What's the big deal?"

After saying that, he waved his hand and left angrily.

Mrs. Guo looked at her daughter's back and shook her head. She sighed and murmured, "I've spoiled this child..."

After returning to the room, Peng Xi slowly began to think, how to kill them?

I can't beat him in a fight, I don't have the ability to attack him by surprise, I can hire a killer, but I don't have the money...

At this time, the maid knocked on the door outside: "Miss, Master Yue is here."

Gongzi Yue? Peng Xi slapped his forehead. Got it…

She hurried downstairs and opened the door, and saw the handsome and elegant Master Yue looking at her with a smile on his face.

She pulled Ziyue into the room and closed the door: "Ziyue, you haven't been here for several days. I missed you so much."

Ziyue hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry Xier, I haven't contacted anyone these days because I've been taking exams and I'm afraid of being affected by the outside world!"

Peng Xi hugged Ziyue tightly, snuggled into his arms and said coquettishly, "It's okay, as long as you have me in your heart."

As soon as Zi Yue and Peng Xi's bodies touched, he felt an electric current running through his body, making him numb and hot all over.

Suddenly, he felt a part of his lower body begin to harden.

Ah! Ziyue was so scared that she pushed Peng Xi away.

His mother once told him that he should not hug or cuddle with women, otherwise he would turn into stone.

Now, he could feel that a certain part of his body had begun to harden and might turn into stone.

Seeing Ziyue reject her enthusiasm once again, Peng Xi's expression changed immediately and she fiercely questioned, "Ziyue!"

"It's been two or three years! Every time I try to be intimate with you, you always push me away! What do you mean? Don't you like me?"

Ziyue blushed and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no! Yue'er, you know I like you!"

"Humph! Is this true or fake?! Are you in love with someone else and don't want to touch me anymore?"

"No! I don't. Ziyue's heart is already filled with you. There's no room for anyone else!"

"Humph! Sweet talk! Since I'm the only one in your heart, why don't you want to touch me!"

This...this...I...I...Zi Yue blushed and was speechless.

Seeing that Ziyue was silent, Peng Xi glared at her and said angrily, "Ziyue!"

"If you don't tell the truth today, we'll break up!"

When Ziyue heard that Peng Xi wanted to break up with her, she shouted anxiously: "No, Xier! Ziyue can't live without you..."

After saying that, he hugged Peng Xi and begged, "Xi'er, Xi'er, please don't break up, okay..."

Peng Xi pushed him away forcefully: "It's okay if we don't break up! You have to tell me why you don't want to be intimate with me!"

Ziyue lowered her head and held it in for a long time before she said, "Xi, Xi'er, it's like this."

"My mother once warned me not to cuddle with women! Otherwise, I would turn into stone!"

"Ah? What? There's such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it? You must have made it up!"

Ziyue smiled bitterly and said, "Why would I make up a story? If you don't believe me, forget it. This is the truth anyway."

"And I've tried this many times. Every time you hug me, something in me starts to get hard."

Peng Xi looked at him with strange eyes: "Ziyue, you are not sick, are you? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital?"

Ziyue waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I'll just ask my mother someday, she'll definitely know what's going on."

"Okay then. By the way, Ziyue, is there something you need to talk to me about today?"

"Yes! Something's up. I'm hosting a banquet at the Yipin Restaurant on Commercial Street tomorrow at noon to welcome back Brother Ri and Sister Ruo."

"You and Sister Ruo are sisters, I would like to invite you to come and sit with me."

Peng Xi was delighted. This was her chance. She nodded immediately, "Okay! I'll be there tomorrow!"

After Zi Yue left, she disguised herself as an old lady, bent over and leaning on a crutch, and walked towards a pharmacy.

The next day was Monday. After Zi Ri came back, his mother arranged for him to serve as a general in the army.

After leaving court, he was invited by his younger brother to have lunch at the Yipintang Restaurant.

This is a high-end restaurant, and the food prepared by the chef is very delicious.

The dignitaries and prominent people who returned to the city all chose to entertain guests and dine here.

Ziyue, Peng Ruo and Peng Xi had already booked a private room and were waiting there.

When they saw Zi Ri coming, they immediately stood up to welcome him. Zi Ri waved his hand and said, "We are all family. There is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

Ziyue ordered the waiter to bring the menu: "Second brother, I'm the host today, so feel free to order whatever you want!"

Zi Ri took the menu and said with a smile: "Okay, today, Second Brother will give you a good price."

Ziyue also laughed: "No problem, second brother, I have brought enough silver, eat as much as you want, order as much as you want."

After a while, Zi Ri ordered a table full of delicious dishes.

Seeing that there was no wine, Peng Xi suggested, "Brother-in-law! Fine wine goes well with delicious food."

"You ordered so many dishes, how can we do without wine? As the saying goes, no feast is complete without wine. Waiter! Bring me a bottle of Moutai!"
