stern wife

Chapter 515
Nie Xichen will be her second brother-in-law in the future, so it is also appropriate to go to greet her mother.

Someone had rushed back to Pei's mansion in advance to bring the news, so when Pei Xiaoran arrived at Wu's courtyard, he found her eldest brother, second sister, third brother, and fourth brother were all there.

It's a little strange why the third sister-in-law Zhao Zixuan is not here, but Pei Xiaoran has no intention to explore these things at this time, because the eyes of these people looking at her are completely devoid of the previous doting and intimacy.

Even Pei Yanhe, who had always pampered her the most, had a face full of condemnation.

Pei Xiaoran knew that the lie he told at the beginning might have been exposed long ago, so he knelt down as soon as he entered the room, lowered his head, and honestly admitted his mistake:
"I was wrong, no matter how you punish me, I will be happy with it, there is no other way."

Seeing that Pei Xiaoran came back fully bearded, with no injuries on his body, Wu's heart that had been hanging in his throat since he learned that Pei Xiaoran was going to fight was finally relieved.

Then he slapped the table in anger, and said to Pei Xiaoran in a rare way:

"Who taught you to lie? Even if you go to war, you shouldn't hide it from us! Dare to teach you so many years of teaching, have you taught it to the dog's belly?"

Pei Xiaoran muttered softly:

"I said it because I was afraid that you would worry, and you would definitely not agree to my going, but I have to fight this battle, and I have to go early."

Seeing that she still had a reasonable look on her face when she did something wrong, Mrs. Wu laughed angrily and said:
"Okay, okay, okay, I know we won't agree, but I still want to go, the wings are hard, right? If you are so capable, then let me go to the ancestral hall and face the wall to think about it! You can only come out when I tell you!"

ah?What about her training?There is still a battalion of soldiers waiting for her to practice!
Pei Xiaoran immediately looked at Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan for help, however, these two elder brothers who are usually obedient to their sister, at this time, one was comforting Wu, and the other was serving Wu tea to suppress the fire, pretending that they did not see the news from the sister. help-seeking gaze.

Wu seemed to understand Pei Xiaoran's concerns, and said coldly:
"I will let your eldest brother enter the palace and explain to the Holy One."

Pei Xiaoran's small shoulders immediately collapsed, and he said dejectedly:

"Yes."

Seeing Pei Xiaoran so deflated, Nie Xichen looked on very gloatingly.

But when he found that Pei Yutong was looking at him coldly, this little general from Lu Wei immediately felt cold.

It's over!He was only focused on watching Pei Xiaoran's joke, how could he forget that he also lied to Pei Yutong before he set off?

Sure enough, after Pei Yutong finished training Pei Xiao in the Wu family, he turned to look at him, and said with a half-smile:
"I went home to pay respects to my deceased relatives. I have been worshiping for nearly a whole year. How do I remember that there is no such a long distance between Lu Wei and Suzaku?"

Nie Xichen said with a dry smile:
"Yutong, listen to my explanation..."

Pei Yutong turned her head, stood up and bid farewell to Wu Shi and the others, then turned and walked out.

Now that she has seen her sister return safely, she has nothing to worry about.

Nie Xichen immediately followed suit and chased after him.

"Yutong, wait for me!"

Hearing the yelling behind him, Pei Yutong accelerated his pace even more.

It's just that no matter how fast she walked, she was no match for the strong and healthy Nie Xichen. Soon, she was stopped by someone with open arms.

Nie Xichen said with a shy smile:

"Yutong, I know I was wrong. Just this time, I will never lie to you again. Can you forgive me? Xiaoran and I lied because we were afraid that you would be worried, but we really didn't want to lie to you." What do you mean!"

Pei Yutong pursed her lips, looked at him coldly, and said nothing.

She could naturally guess the reason why the two lied.

It's just that the people who thought they were going home to pay respects actually went to the battlefield to fight. The panic and worry are really unbearable.

She didn't speak, and Nie Xichen didn't rush, the two just looked at each other.

After a while, Pei Yutong sighed softly and asked:
"Any injuries?"

Hearing the concern in the other party's words, Nie Xichen knew that the other party no longer cares about him, and immediately grinned silly and shook his head like a rattle:
"No, no, who am I, how could I be injured!"

Injuries in battle are inevitable, but he has a lot of combat experience, so he only suffered some skin trauma, and after so many days, he will naturally recover.

However, there is no need to tell Pei Yutong about this kind of thing, so as not to frighten her again.

Pei Yutong nodded slightly and said:
"If that's the case, that's good. It's getting late, Mr. Nie, go back and rest. I'm going back to rest too."

Having said that, the man stood there without moving, his eyes fixed on the long-lost face as if he had his own consciousness.

Thinner and darker, but still very good-looking.

Sensing the relatives in the other party's eyes, Nie Xichen's heart also softened.

Looking behind her, the two girls who were following her retreated to the distance as early as when they were talking.

There were only the two of them left here, and Nie Xichen couldn't help but get closer, his brows and eyes were full of tenderness, and he asked with a low laugh:
"We've been apart for so long, do you miss me?"

Pei Yutong's pink cheeks were slightly red, but she gave him an angry look, and said not very decisively:
"No."

Nie Xichen smiled lowly, his expression became extremely serious, he lightly held her hands folded in his sleeves, and said:

"But I miss you very much, I think about you every day, even in my dreams I dream of you."

Pei Yutong blushed even more, lowered her head to avoid his affectionate gaze, but listened to the other party continue to say in a gentle tone of drowning:

"Yutong, I will definitely protect you in the future, and I will never let you be bullied by anyone again. If someone dares to bully you, I will smash his bones into ashes and tear him into pieces!"

Pei Yutong blinked her eyes, always feeling that what she said was a bit heavy.

Moreover, although she is a concubine, Wu Shi has been taking care of her after her mother died, and Xiaoran's attitude towards her has become better and better since then. The two close maids around her are also her own, but no one bullies her. pass her.

But what Nie Xichen said...why does it seem that someone has bullied her?

However, the current atmosphere is just right, and it is not suitable to get to the bottom of it, so Pei Yutong just nodded.

It was a little cold outside, but the two of them didn't feel it at all, they just felt warm in their hearts.

Somewhat reluctantly, he let go of the opponent's hand. Although there was still a layer of fabric, the soft and warm touch remained in the palm.

Nie Xichen said:

"It's cold outside, let me take you home."

Pei Yutong nodded, and walked side by side to his yard with him. Xia and Hua Qing who were not far away immediately followed after seeing this.
