Chapter 1197 Chapter 1197
"Before he died, his whole body was festering. The most sensible and sensible eldest son of the Pei family was tortured by a serious illness before his death. When my third brother and I went to visit him for the last time, he was so skinny that he could not say a word. He just looked at us and cried."
"You two brothers have a very good relationship..."
Pei An nodded and stood under the jujube tree outside Kuoyuezhai, sighing a little.
"My second brother has soft tears. He starts crying when he sees my eldest brother. He cries even more sadly than my eldest sister-in-law and mother." Pei An couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of the things that happened before his eldest brother's death.
"Second brother?"
The dandy young man who roams the red-light district now, Pei Chen?
Song Guanzhou could not imagine it. Pei An smiled faintly, "He and the eldest brother are about the same age. They grew up together and had a close relationship. After the eldest brother left, besides the eldest sister-in-law, the second brother was the saddest."
"I didn't expect my second brother to have such a temperament."
Pei An laughed in silence, "Second brother never thought about being the crown prince. He made it clear to me and third brother that any of us would be better than him. He has no ambition to do this."
"Second brother looks like second uncle?"
"Like him! He's more soft-hearted than my second uncle." Pei Chen could give up all his family property and travel around with his favorite concubine. He wouldn't return home for years and he rarely asked about his children's marriage.
Pei Chen can't do it.
He has a strict father, Pei Jian, and a domineering mother, Xiao.
The couple stopped for a while, then walked forward with the lantern. When they reached a dark place, Pei An said, "This is the small Buddhist temple."
Where does the Xiao family live?
She raised the lamp, looked at the place where everything had changed and sighed.
Pei An tilted his head, "Why are you sighing?"
"Jinzhu died in here, causing me to have nightmares for a long time. The little girl kept pestering me. Fortunately, you are here, Silang, and Aunt Fang..."
That aunt whose appearance I had almost forgotten, "She came to thank me in my dream..., ah!"
"The last time I went to see my third brother, he mentioned Aunt Fang and seemed a little lonely."
"Third brother loved Aunt Fang very much. Mother bought Aunt Fang and planned to put her in Third brother's room."
Aunt Fang is a few years older than Pei Che, but they fall in love with each other after pretending to be together.
What the hell?
Song Guanzhou's gossipy spirit was instantly ignited, "...I don't remember where I heard those crazy words, I just thought they were just rumors, I didn't expect there was such a thing——"
"Father doesn't know."
Pei An lifted the girl on his back and walked deeper into the garden. "If father knew, none of this would have happened. Mother is cruel and ruthless, and she did this on purpose..."
I wish I could destroy all of Pei Che's foundation.
"Silang, if you say this about your own mother, others will blame you for being unfilial."
"It doesn't matter, Guan Zhou, I'm not that pedantic."
The couple had been wandering around the garden for a long time. When they were about to go up to the viewing pavilion, they were suddenly discovered by a patrolling servant. They were about to scold them, but then they saw a lighted lamp. When they got closer, they were shocked. "Fourth Master, Young Madam, what are you two doing——"
"I'm going to walk around with the young lady."
Pei An's face was not red, his heart was not beating, he spoke calmly and slowly, the servant was speechless, he could only smile, "Then where do you want to go, the fourth young master, I will hold a lantern for you two..."
They came out to hang around in the middle of the night. Both the husband and wife were wearing long silk gowns. The young lady had her long hair loose and was holding a lantern about as tall as a person. From a distance, it looked incredibly strange.
"No need. The young mistress and I will be back in a while. You guys just take care of the night patrol."
"Yes--"
He bowed and left. After the two young guards had gone far away, he whispered, "I've always heard that the Fourth Young Master dotes on the Young Madam. It turns out he dotes on her this much."
"I went out to burn incense today, and they said something big happened. Have you heard about it?"
"I heard a few things. Brother Liu came back in a hurry. The subordinates asked a few questions. I also heard a little. It seems that the fourth young master's wife killed someone."
"No, no, no, no... No way."
"You went to the horse farm and were not there. I heard Xier say that the young lady was very brave. She killed all the thieves who came to assassinate her with one sword -"
"Ouch!"
Pei An and Song Guanzhou followed closely behind. Just when she heard these words, she suddenly curled up and pressed her face against Pei An's. "Silang, are you afraid? I killed someone..."
"What do you say? Have I ever been afraid?"
Pei An walked steadily and chose the path back to Shaohua Garden at the fork in the road. "Not only am I not afraid, I am also very relieved. If someone else encountered the same thing as you, they would have been in great danger and their souls would be gone. Therefore--"
"So what?"
"Your husband wants to reward you."
When Song Guanzhou was about to ask what the reward was, Pei An took the initiative and said, "Don't ask what it is yet. I didn't expect it either, but I will definitely not let you down."
"it is good."
Pei An was grateful that Song Guanzhou did not mention Jin Fuyun at this time. Now his feelings towards Jin Fuyun were very complicated, difficult to understand and describe.
If Song Guanzhou said, "Take Jin Fuyun's life," then he naturally couldn't do it.
The couple walked along the path, through the garden and up the slope, until Pei Hai stood in front of them holding a lantern. His old face had a complicated expression, "Fourth Master, Young Madam, it's already cockcrowed, you two should rest."
The girl on Pei An's shoulder said coquettishly, "Uncle Hai, were the two guards disturbing you just now?"
"Not really."
Pei Hai walked up to them and took the lantern that Song Guanzhou was shaking in his hand, "I'll hold the lamp for you two." He was wearing a dark robe, not revealing his true appearance.
But Song Guanzhou knew that he should not be underestimated.
Hearing this, she frowned slightly, "Uncle Hai, I couldn't sleep, so Silang carried me out on his back."
"My subordinates know."
Pei Hai looked back. Under the dim yellow light, his face was calm and indifferent. "Young Madam, have you lost your soul?"
"Uncle Hai, don't worry. I'm not frightened by what happened during the day. It's just that..." For some reason, Song Guanzhou told Pei Hai, who was not close to him, his deepest thoughts, "Uncle Hai, killing people is so simple."
As soon as these words came out, Pei An stopped immediately.
When he wanted to ask what Song Guanzhou meant by this, Pei Hai replied calmly, "Young Madam, do you think it is difficult to take someone's life?"
"That's natural."
Song Guanzhou hugged Pei An's neck tightly. Her chest rose and fell slightly when she spoke, affecting Pei An's body. "That's a human life, not grass. How can it not be difficult? Uncle Hai, I thought I would never hurt anyone in my life."
"Guan Zhou, those are bad guys. They were the ones who wanted to hurt you first."
Pei An comforted him. Song Guanzhou smiled and whispered, "Silang, I don't regret killing people. I just sigh. Look at my bare hands. They can burst out so much potential when it comes to survival. Uncle Hai, you have followed your father back and forth on the battlefield, so you must be used to seeing life and death."
Are you used to seeing it?
