Chapter 100 Don't Cry

Facing Liu Fuying's questioning, Shen Xiunian only replied with a bland tone.

"It will work out."

It wasn't enough to say it once, he repeated it again.

"When the time comes, there will be results."

After saying that, he returned to his lifeless appearance, turned around and went into the inner room.

Liu Liu stood there, holding Ying, and he had barely caught his breath.

She felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't swallow or exhale the breath she was holding in her heart.

Even though she had already thought of the wording and made sufficient preparations, Shen Xiunian's words that he would receive an imperial decree to go to the capital to receive the reward still caught her off guard and she was completely unable to resist.

It is hard to resist the grace of heaven. The emperor wants her to go, how can she not go?

If the situation gets out of hand and becomes serious, Pei Zhouwu might be implicated as well.

Even if they want to divorce, it has to be after seeing the emperor.

The emperor said he wanted to reward her. If it was just simple gold, silver and treasures, she would not have to come to the capital in person. But if he wanted to grant her an imperial edict or something, it would be even more difficult for her to divorce with the imperial edict. At that time, it would not just be a matter between her and Shen Xiunian.

That's better.

How should she start talking to Pei Zhouwu?

Shen Xiunian was the same, his ambiguous words were annoying.

When I returned to Shuxing Courtyard, I heard someone crying in the yard from a distance.

After entering the room, Xiyun immediately wiped his tears and ran towards Liu Fuying. When she squatted down, he hugged her neck and cried even harder.

"Mother...Mother, my sister tore up my book."

"I didn't do it on purpose. My brother didn't let me see it, so I tore it accidentally."

Perhaps knowing that she had done something wrong, Xi Xi stood in the middle of the yard and didn't dare to come over.

"Mother." Xiyun cried even more sadly and hugged Liu Fuying tightly. "I only learned half a page... and it's broken. Mother, I want a new one, I want a new one."

"Okay, mother will buy you a new one."

Liu Fuying coaxed Xiyun out, and her eyelids couldn't help twitching as she wiped his tears.

She didn't even dare to look closely at Xiyun's red eyes.

Every time she looked at him, she would think of Pei Zhouwu.

If Pei Zhouwu knew about the imperial edict, he would not cry like this, right?

"Xixixi, come here." She waved for Xixixi to come over.

Xi Xi came over trotting, frowning and looking pitiful.

"Whether it's a book or something else, or whether it's my brother or someone else, you can only take it if the other party agrees to it. That's my brother's book, and if he says no, you can't take it. Think about yourself, if my brother takes your sugar man without your consent, what would you do?"

I only saw Xi Xi frowning even more tightly.

"You'd be unhappy too, wouldn't you?"

"Yes." Xi Xi nodded solemnly, and then said, "Mother, I know I was wrong."

"I shouldn't say this to my mother."

Xi Xi immediately grabbed Xi Yun's sleeve and said in a serious manner: "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have torn up your book."

Xiyun was still sobbing, with tears streaming down her face.

"Ah Yun, stop crying. It's okay. You have the right to decide what's yours. If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Don't put yourself in a difficult position. It's only you who are willing to give it. But, will you hate your sister from now on because of this?"

When Xiyun heard this, she put down her hand that was wiping her face.

He looked at Xi Xi's frowning face and thought about it again and again.

"No." After thinking it over, he answered affirmatively, "My sister is also very nice. She just gave me some pear cake."

After saying that, he also grabbed Xi'er's hand.

"Sister, when mom buys me a new book, shall we read it together?"

"Okay, thank you brother."

Even though they had reconciled, Liu Fuying still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.

After coaxing the younger one, I still don’t know how to coax the older one.

After returning to the house, Liu Fuying has been thinking carefully about how to deal with Pei Zhouwu.

It was originally agreed that she would go to find Pei Zhouwu after talking with Shen Xiunian today, but today she didn't leave until it was dark, and she just stayed in the house and didn't want to move.

If she doesn't go, Pei Zhouwu will naturally come to find him.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, Pei Zhouwu finally set out for the Shen family.

Outside of Shen Xiunian's room, Zhang Ke was knocking on the door anxiously. After a long time without any response, he could not help but shout directly at the door, "General, I just saw Uncle Pei enter the mansion, and he went to the direction of Madam's courtyard."

"General?"

He stood by the door and waited for a long time but heard no response.

In a hurry, he pushed the door open and went in.

Shen Xiunian usually never went to bed at this time, so Zhang Ke thought that Shen Xiunian had fainted due to worsening injuries.

Unexpectedly, when I pushed the door open, I saw Shen Xiunian sitting behind the desk.

"General, Uncle Pei..."

"No problem." Shen Xiunian lowered his head and held the pen, the white paper on the table was filled with densely packed words.

He didn't seem to care about Pei Zhouwu's affairs at all.

He already knew and saw with his own eyes that Liu Fuying and Pei Zhouwu were together. If he didn't say anything, they naturally didn't need to hide it anymore.

Come as you please, let them be.

"Wait a moment, I have something to tell you." He said to Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke saw that he was serious, so he moved closer and asked, "General, do you have anything to tell your subordinates?"

Shen Xiunian paused writing, and finally raised his head.

His eyes were solemn, and when he looked at Zhang Ke, there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes that he didn't know how to express.

"I'm going out for the next two days."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Ke became even more curious, "Where is the general going?"

…

Combing Star Courtyard.

Liu Fuying took off her bright coat and was now sitting on the bed with a haggard look on her face. She was wrapped in pure white clothes and looked particularly fragile and pitiful.

She sighed again and again, wondering why no one had come yet.

Suddenly, the door creaked.

If it was a servant in the yard, he would have called her when he entered the door, but the person who came in at this time was silent.

Seeing this, she had an idea in mind.

Then he made faces and pretended to cry, while making low sobbing sounds.

The person who entered the room ran straight to the bed, and quickened his pace after hearing the crying.

The curtain was lifted.

The person who came in was none other than Pei Zhouwu.

"Hina."

Liu Fuying glanced at him with red eyes, then immediately turned her back and went inside, as if unwilling to face him. Her crying became louder and louder, making Pei Zhouwu anxious.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Don't come over here."

After Pei Zhouwu sat down, he wanted to reach out to her, but was rejected by her choked voice.

"Azhou, don't come over here."

The more she did this, the more anxious Pei Zhouwu became.

"What's wrong with you? What happened? I've been waiting for you for a long time but you didn't come. It turns out you were hiding and crying."

Liu Fuying sat with her back to him and her knees hugged, her shoulders shaking from crying.

"A Zhou, it's all my fault. I've let you down."

"What are you talking about?"

"I am too embarrassed to see you, Azhou, please go away."
