stern wife

Chapter 670

"Don't dare to bother the Duke to see you off, so we will take our leave now."

Pei Xiaoran saluted, then turned around and left with Wu Shi without hesitation.

Looking at the backs of Mrs. Wu and the group leaving, Pei Xingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, and for some reason, remembered an incident a long time ago.

At that time, he had just married the Wu family, and once, he accidentally caught a cold.

He has practiced martial arts all the year round, is physically strong and rarely gets sick, probably because his body lacks the experience to fight against these minor diseases and disasters, but he suddenly fell ill in bed, and the attack was quite serious.

When the high fever persisted and he fell into a coma, he vaguely heard some messy voices in his ears, which made him even more upset.

Suddenly, a gentle and graceful voice poured into the ears like a clear spring, and the room quickly became quiet.

Then, he felt a soft and moist touch from the palms and soles of his feet. It should be that someone was smearing his palms and soles of feet with wine to dissipate heat.

The coolness brought by the volatilization of the wine immediately made him feel much better.

Soon, he felt chills all over again, and was struggling to wake up. When he asked the servants to add an extra quilt, he felt a slight weight on his body, and someone had already added an extra layer of brocade quilt for him in good time.

Under such meticulous and considerate care, Pei Xingshan soon fell into a deep sleep, although he was still sick, but he was no longer so uncomfortable.

Moreover, he could feel that there was always someone by his side who was with him, not the official companionship of the servants, but the genuine concern for him, so he dared not leave.

The feeling of being cared for was so good that Pei Xingshan immediately called someone to ask who took care of him when he found no one around after he fell asleep and just woke up.

When the doctor said that the person was Mrs. Wu, and that he had been in a coma for almost two days, and Mrs. Wu went back to rest because she couldn't bear it anymore, Pei Xingshan's mood suddenly became quite complicated.

He thought it was some caring aunt who planned to pamper and pamper her in return in return!
Unexpectedly, it was the Wu family.

Out of prejudice against his wife, Pei Xingshan quickly put this matter behind him, pretending that he didn't know anything, and he didn't even say thank you to Mrs. Wu.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wu treated Pei Xingshan very well until after Pei Yuxuan was born and found out that she had a congenital illness, so her attitude towards Pei Xingshan gradually faded.

Pei Xingshan didn't take it seriously.

Because he feels that most of the women in this world are gentle and gentle, there are women like Wu, and he does not lack this one.

But now, looking at Wu's gentle eyes are only focused on Pei Xiaoran, Pei Runzhi and other children, as well as the man wearing a mask. When looking at him, his eyes are indifferent as if looking at a stranger.

Pei Xingshan's heart felt extremely painful as if someone had stabbed him hard with a needle.

It turns out that although there are many gentle people, not everyone is willing to give their gentleness.

Not everyone deserves their tender treatment.

It's fine for Pei Xiaoran and the others, that masked man...

Pei Xingshan's eyes could not help but slowly shifted to Wuming's tall and slender back.

Out of his intuition towards the strong, Pei Xingshan could feel that this was a man whose ability and courage were not inferior to his own.

Such a man, it is difficult for anyone not to be attracted to him.

With such an excellent man by her side, Wu believed that it won't be long before the good things between the two of them will come true.

What's more, Wu Shi has reconciled with him now, even if he marries someone again, he doesn't have to care about other people's opinions and opinions.

At that time, he and the Wu family will really become strangers.

A dark light flashed in Pei Xingshan's eyes, and his thin lips were pursed.

Even if the things that belong to him are lost or destroyed, he will never let others take them away!

-

On the way back, Pei Xiaoran put Wuming into his carriage, then raised his chin and asked:
"Well, where did the poison come from? Why do you have that poison?"

"poison?"

Wuming shook his head and said with a smile:
"That's not poison, otherwise, the person would be gone after I fed it, so why wait until the middle of the night before dying?"

Pei Xiaoran squinted his round eyes, looked at him suspiciously, and said:
"But... before you went in, the old lady was fine, why did she suddenly look like that after you went in?"

The death of the old lady is certain, but it shouldn't be so painful. Someone must have done something to her.

There is no doubt about this.

Wuming did not answer the question, but said:

"Do you know Xi Zhaoguo?"

Pei Xiaoran frowned slightly, not understanding why the topic changed so quickly, subconsciously replied:
"I know, but before I was born, the country was already destroyed. Why do you ask this?"

Wuming laughed and said:

"You have read a lot of history books, and you even know this."

In fact, Pei Xiaoran didn't read about Xi Zhaoguo's affairs from the history books, but from the military books.

Xizhao Kingdom used to be a neighboring country of Suzaku. Later, a dispute arose between the two countries, and Xizhao Kingdom was destroyed and became a part of Suzaku.

That battle was also Suzaku's Wei Guogong—Pei Xingshan, the battle where her own father became famous when he was young.

Previously, because of his status as a concubine, Pei Xingshan had not been looked down upon by the world, even though he had inherited the titles of the Duke of the State and the Duke of Wei.

But all of this is really not glorious, it is because the two direct brothers and father in front are all dead, so he was able to pick up such a big bargain.

Otherwise, with his identity and ability, he is not qualified to take over all of this.

Therefore, after the victory against Xi Zhaoguo, Pei Xingshan became famous, gained real power in his hands, and began to gain the favor of the Holy Majesty.

It has to be said that Pei Xingshan is quite capable, otherwise the Holy One would not have given him real power, at most he would have been given a hereditary title so that he and his descendants could live comfortably, even if he was worthy of what the ancestors of the Pei family had done to the royal family and Suzaku .

Pei Xiaoran had carefully studied how Pei Xingshan commanded and formed formations in that battle, so he was very impressed with this battle, and he also wrote down the name Xi Zhaoguo by the way.

Nameless continued:
"I did feed Old Madam Pei something, but that thing is not poisonous, and it is a rare medicine to prolong life!
It's just that inside... what is wrapped in it is a medicine that can make people die of pain, called Lie Yan Burning Heart.

Lie Yan Burning Heart itself is not poisonous, so it will not poison people to death, it will only make people die of pain. "

"Burning flames?"

Pei Xiaoran frowned, although he understood why the old lady didn't die on the spot, he still had doubts, so he continued to ask:

"Then what does this medicine have to do with Xi Zhaoguo?"
