After returning home, Xi Xiangdong fell into the sofa tiredly.
Pei Xiao was actually very tired. As soon as she woke up from the anesthesia, she rushed outside the study room and broke down the door with Xiao Zheng. When the door opened, she saw Xi Xiangdong whose face was covered in blood. She was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She also had injuries on her neck, but she almost forgot about it. As soon as she entered the door, she boiled water, twisted a towel, wiped his face, and squatted at his feet to help him put on his slippers.
His face was covered with a towel and he remained motionless.
Pei Xiao followed the prescription, divided the medicine he needed to take according to dosage, cooled the warm water for him, and then said: "Take the medicine."
Her voice was hoarse. Xi Xiangdong sat up, the towel slipped from his face, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
She was startled for a moment, then handed over the pills calmly. Xi Xiangdong took the pills obediently, and then noticed the gauze around her neck.
"What's wrong?" His cold fingers touched the wound.
She avoided it for a moment, smiled and said, "It's a small injury, it's okay."
He sighed and held her in his arms: "I failed to protect you."
"It's none of your business." Pei Xiao quietly curled up next to him, resting her face on his knees, "You are too nervous, how can they still take human lives?"
Xi Xiangdong said nothing. He was not afraid of human life even if he was careless. There were many ways to make life worse than death.
"My mother... died of postpartum depression." He suddenly spoke, his voice full of tired hoarseness.
Pei Xiao was startled for a moment, lying on his lap as quietly as a cat.
He put his fingers into her hair and stroked her gently, his voice seemed to be filled with a kind of pain: "I always thought I was the one who killed her, but it wasn't... In that family, everyone was an accomplice.
"
"When I became an adult, I investigated my mother's case and found that she had a record of taking a large number of sleeping pills. After she became pregnant with me, she started to quit taking sleeping pills, but she had become dependent and could not sleep at all. Every night, she kept her eyes open in pain.
Eyes, when the whole world fell asleep. The doctor said that when she was seven months pregnant with me, including the fetus, she only weighed 94 pounds."
"When she gave birth to me, she suffered a lot and almost died. However, she endured such great pain and did not survive the postpartum confinement period. My father knew that she was dependent on sleeping pills, but he did not strictly stop her.
, still allowed her to secretly take sleeping pills from a private doctor. Later, she died on the gastric lavage table, and the doctor found thirty-six sleeping pills in her stomach."
As he spoke, another drop of liquid fell into her heart.
Pei Xiao held his hand. His palm was cold, covered in cold sweat, and was trembling.
"I was too young at that time and didn't understand many things. Later I realized that my father once told my mother that the daughter of the Fu family was interested in him, and the Fu family could help him get to the center of the political arena. Military marriages cannot be divorced easily.
Unless my mother behaves immorally, or...she dies. My mother has a dull and introverted character. When she saw their private meeting, she didn't even dare to say a word, let alone do something shameless. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to die. She
She was depressed and dependent on sleeping pills from that time on. My father knew that she was severely dependent on drugs, but did not stop him and watched her die. He finally got his wish, and within a year after my mother left, he
I married the rich daughter of the Fu family, and from then on I rose rapidly in the political arena..."
Such a story was so shocking that even Pei Xiao was speechless.
Are money and power really that important to many people? When he got home, Xi Xiangdong fell into the sofa exhausted.
