"Are you worried?" Pei Ce asked.

Yu Shiqing shook his head: "No, no."

Pei Ce thought she had it, but if she didn't say it, Pei Ce could do nothing against her. He always felt that there was a layer between him and Yu Shiqing.

He felt like he couldn't catch her.

As the wedding was approaching, Pei Ce was still a little nervous, and Yu Shiqing was even more nervous.

The wedding day finally arrived.

Like Pei Qing's wedding, the Pei family only invited some friends and relatives over, which was quite lively, but Yu Shiqing's sisters and brothers all came.

The gongs and drums were noisy and the sky was very lively. Yu Shiqing and Pei Ce worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then she was sent to the bridal chamber.

Then, she knocked the maid unconscious and went to Pei Zhan's pharmacy while the Pei family were busy in the front hall.

The last time she came here she didn't get much results, so she went to Pei Zhan's bedroom again.

Tao Zhen…

She should call her mother, but she couldn't, because Tao Zhen's appearance showed no signs of age. She looked abnormally young, and so did Pei Ce's second aunt Ye Tan.

The adoptive father thought that the Pei family must have mastered some medicine that could lead to immortality, so he asked Yu Shiqing to steal it. When the time comes, as long as Yu Shirong can present the medicine of immortality to the emperor, the emperor will reward him.

Yu Shirong doesn't want power or gold or silver. He just wants a legal fief to give the descendants of Yu Shi's family a place to live.

This is not too much to ask for.

Yu Shiqing couldn't refuse, so she rummaged through the boxes, but still found nothing.

"What are you looking for?"

The sudden sound startled Yu Shiqing, and she turned around stiffly.

Pei Ce didn't know how long he had been here, nor how long he had been looking at her.

"Senior sister, just say what you want, why bother?" Pei Ce looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness and disappointment.

Yu Shiqing couldn't explain it, it sounded so bizarre.

And how could the Pei family give something as precious as the elixir of life away for nothing? "It's nothing." Yu Shiqing's face was very cold: "It's hard for you to wait for me here."

"Am I waiting for you?" Pei Ce thought it was ridiculous: "Senior sister, you have to be unreasonable. It was obviously you who made the mistake first..."

Yu Shiqing ignored him and walked out. Pei Ce grabbed her wrist: "You married me because you like me, right?"

He desperately wanted an answer.

Yu Shiqing didn't look back, but her heart felt clogged and uncomfortable.

"I...not." Yu Shiqing left.

Pei Ce was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't believe it."

He didn't believe it would be like this.

The two of them were speechless after that. Yu Shiqing went to the Yamen the next day, but Pei Ce didn't go. He stayed at home, with decadence written all over his face.

When Xu Chao saw it, he couldn't help but advise him: "Although you are young and full of energy, you must also pay attention to moderation."

Pei Ce “…”

Pei Ce decided to ask Yu Shiqing to find out, but Yu Shiqing was obviously evading, and the relationship between the two was not awkward at all.

Yu Shiqing actually had a hard time, she knew it was her fault, but she couldn't help it.

Yu Shirong said he didn't blame her and just asked her to continue looking for opportunities.

Yu Shiqing didn't want to look for him at all, and he didn't want to embarrass his adoptive father.

Even the Pei family could see their state. Tao Zhen had talked to Yu Shiqing once. Seeing her gentle look, Yu Shiqing wanted to express her thoughts.

But when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them out.

Pei Ce also felt very sad. He clearly married the girl he loved, but he seemed to be separated from her by thousands of rivers and mountains.

He was very depressed, and then he saw Li Shenzhi who was even more depressed than him. (End of chapter)
