=====================
Pei Xin'er once thought that Zhao Yucang's arrival would have a great impact on her "reclusive" life, but she felt from Zhao Yucang's hurried coming and going - she really thought too much!
After a day of rest, she felt that she had calmed down the ripples caused by Zhao Yutang's arrival, and she resumed her life as usual. When Ruiniang and others saw it, they didn't know whether to be happy or worried, but she herself was not happy
Even though he was concerned, he didn't take it to heart.
Another day passed, that night, after dinner, Pei Xin'er was playing Go with Sister Ling. She was not very good at chess, but Sister Ling seemed to be quite talented in this area. Drawing inferences from one example, now
He is actually on par with her.
It was really embarrassing to think that she was twenty-three years old and was stumped by a six-year-old child, but she was very happy - how smart her daughter was!
Just as she was about to praise Sister Ling, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside. She couldn't help but be startled, and looked at each other with Ruiniang and others, her heart suddenly lifted.
Ruiniang's face turned a little pale. After looking at her, she said, "Auntie, little... little one, go out and see what's going on?"
She nodded, hugged Sister Ling tightly in her arms, and looked very nervous.
She has lived here for three years and nothing has happened. How could she suddenly...
Sister Ling didn't know what the adults were worried about, but she could tell from the expressions of her mother and others that something was wrong, so she couldn't help but obediently snuggle into her mother's arms, even though she felt that her hands were too strong.
It was too big and it hurt me, but I didn't say a word.
Ying'er and Juan'er hurriedly walked to their mother and daughter's side, their bodies trembling slightly and their eyes fixed on the direction of the door.
Ruiniang took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to stand up, and was about to walk out. Suddenly, she saw a little maid running over in a hurry. She rushed through the door and said quickly: "Auntie, the general is here. Hurry up."
Go and greet us!”
Pei Xiner breathed a sigh of relief immediately, feeling her whole body go limp and almost lying on the kang.
It turned out that Zhao Yuchang was here, she thought...
A smile had just appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it suddenly condensed on her lips. She suddenly thought - what is he here for?
Ruiniang, Ying'er, and Juan'er also breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and suddenly felt a little weak. Juan'er patted her chest, took a breath and said, "I was scared to death. Who did you think it was?"
, it turns out to be the general! Why is he here so late?"
This question brought out everyone's thoughts, and everyone unanimously turned their eyes to Pei Xiner. Pei Xiner was puzzled, and now was not the time to think carefully, so she stood up and handed Sister Ling'er to her.
He gave it to Ruiniang and then walked out the door.
When Zhao Yu comes, it will be considered rude if she, the concubine, does not go out to greet him.
However, as soon as she walked to the door, she saw Zhao Yutang striding towards her, and he was in front of her in the blink of an eye. His figure seemed to be taller in the dark night, and the light of the lantern was dim. He stood before her.
In front of her, a shadow cast down, seeming to cover her whole body in his shadow, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression coming over her. He seemed to exude an aura that made people have to surrender, which made her feel a little...
Suffocated, I subconsciously took two steps back, then lowered my head and said respectfully: "I have met you before! I arrived at night, but I was not able to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
Zhao Yutang, shrouded in the dark night, could not clearly see the expression on his face. He only said a faint "hmm" and said: "Get up."
Then he strode into the house.
Pei Xiner cursed in her heart, then stood up and walked into the room, helped him take off his shirt, twisted the towel for him, washed his face, and served him a cup of hot tea, then stopped.
She looked at him and asked: "Why are you here so late? Have you had a meal? Do you want the kitchen to cook something?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask more was, didn't he go hunting with the emperor? Why did he come to her now?
Zhao Yutang took two sips of tea to quench his thirst and moisten his throat. Then he shook his head and said, "No need, I came here after eating."
Pei Xiner responded, stepped aside, took Sister Ling's hand and came to him, and asked him to greet him. Perhaps because they had only met him two days ago, Sister Ling behaved better this time.
She is not as afraid of strangers as last time, but she still feels that she is a little afraid of her father.
Zhao Yutong raised his eyebrows and noticed Sister Ling's fear of him, and couldn't help but feel helpless. He had long noticed that his daughter had an inexplicable fear of him, and he couldn't understand why.
Scared the child? But he couldn't find the reason why Sister Ling was afraid of him, so he was helpless. In order to prevent Sister Ling from being afraid of him even more, he even kept a certain distance from her every time he saw her.
She feels a little more secure. But why does something seem to be going against her wishes?
Pei Xin'er was naturally aware of the tense atmosphere between father and daughter, and felt helpless for a moment. She had no choice but to tell Ruiniang that it was time for Sister Ling to go to bed and let Ruiniang lead her down. After Sister Ling left, it was obvious that she didn't care about Zhao Yutsao.
Pei Xiner breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Yutiao glanced around, and immediately spotted the unfinished red needlework piled on the head of the kang.
He couldn't help but frown, glanced at Pei Xiner, and asked, "Did you do that?"
Pei Xiner followed his gaze and immediately misunderstood what he meant. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do it at night if the light is not good."
That's not the problem, right?
He looked at her again. As the aunt of the General's Mansion, even if she is a concubine, she doesn't need to be a prostitute herself!
He then remembered her various behaviors when he came last time.
After pondering for a moment, he said pointedly: "I guess you haven't gotten the share you deserve in the house, right? Feng has gone too far in this matter."
Pei Xiner glanced at him in surprise - how could he pay attention to these things? He had never asked about it before!
After calming down, she smiled slightly and said: "I was driven here because I made a mistake. Naturally, I don't dare to expect any exception."
Zhao Yutang raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "Don't you complain at all?"
"What are you complaining about?" Pei Xiner asked without answering.
Zhao Yutsang's eyes darkened and he said with deep meaning: "I blame Mrs. Feng for driving you to a place like this; I blame me for turning a blind eye to you and not upholding justice for you."
Pei Xiner suddenly wanted to laugh - what was he doing? After ignoring her for so long, his conscience suddenly became aware of her?
It's a pity that she doesn't care about it!
