Chapter 54 Pei Zhouwu can leave Xiangshan

Seeing her action, Jin Li reacted very quickly.

"Ma'am, are you pregnant?"

Liu Fuying didn't say anything, just looked at her belly and smiled softly.

"Great, now Madam can..."

"Go back to the city!"

Jin Li was just getting excited when she was interrupted by Shen Xiunian's loud shouting outside.

"Ma'am, the general seems very angry."

"Don't pay attention to him." Liu Fuying lifted the carriage curtain and looked naturally in the direction of Xiangshan. "He can't be with the one he loves, so he is jealous of me. Let him be angry. I don't know who he is showing this to, and who would like to see it."

She didn't have the energy to care about Shen Xiunian now.

I don’t know what Pei Zhouwu is doing at this moment.

Now that there was no one to talk to him, he would probably sit there in a daze like he used to.

But he still has several decades of life ahead of him...

"Why is Madam sighing? Are you unhappy about having a child?"

Only after Jin Li reminded him did Liu Fuying realize his frequent sighing behavior.

"I……"

He opened his mouth but couldn't answer a word, and in the end all his words turned into a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"It's okay, let's go back."

…

The carriage was moving slowly on the dirt road in the mountains. The traces of the wheels on the way here had long been covered and obliterated by the dust, and the traces of the wheels on the way out would eventually disappear with time.

All traces will be erased by time, slowly faded away and disappeared.

Just like the trace she left in Pei Zhouwu's heart.

Will all disappear.

After returning to the city, the carriage gradually stopped outside the general's mansion.

Chen Xiunian got off his horse and ran straight inside without saying a single extra word, and Liu Fuying naturally didn't need to say anything either.

However, she noticed that the potted Podocarpus trees that were originally placed on each side of the gate were gone.

The further you go in, the more something seems wrong.

There was a sense of emptiness everywhere, as if the house had been emptied out.

The number of servants coming and going was not as lively as before. I didn't see many people all the way back to Shuxing Courtyard. It was quiet everywhere.

"Ma'am, I feel weird."

"Yeah, it's really weird."

Before I even stepped into the courtyard, the voice of Old Madam Shen could be heard from inside.

"I won't rest, I won't rest. Ayin will be back soon, and I want to see her as soon as possible. It's been more than a month, and I miss her so much."

"Madam, the general is coming back today too. Don't you want to go see him? Don't you miss him?"

"That kid, I've been watching him for more than 20 years. Who cares to watch him? I'm tired of him."

"What the old lady said was just childish talk. Hey, old lady, look, isn't that the young lady?"

"Ah? Ayin, let me take a look."

Old Madam Shen ran around the window and out of the door. As expected, she saw Liu Fuying in the yard. She was so excited that she almost tripped over the threshold.

"Ayin, you're back!"

The old lady burst into tears, stumbled over and hugged Liu Fuying in her arms.

"Thank God, you are finally back and finally caught up."

Caught up?

Liu Fuying smiled along, still patting the old lady's back like coaxing a child, and said, "Mother-in-law, why are you crying again? You've only been away for a month and you miss me so much? You said you've caught up again, what did I catch up with when I came back?"

The old lady wiped her tears and took two steps back, blinking her innocent tears and said, "In time for us to leave Beijing, didn't Xiunian tell you?"

"Leaving Beijing?"

How far away from Beijing?

Thinking of the empty yard just now, Liu Fuying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We...are leaving Shangjing City?"

"Yes, Yin, you really don't know."

"I……"

She doesn't know, what does she know?

Liu Fuying was confused, and his brain seemed to be stuck in paste and couldn't move.

"Where are you going?" she asked with a trembling heart.

"Go to... what Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang or something like that? Yes, Southern Xinjiang. Xiunian said that he has submitted a petition to move his family out of Shangjing City. From now on, he will be stationed in Southern Xinjiang to protect the peace of the border and will never return to Shangjing City again."

“…”

Why didn't Shen Xiunian tell her about such a big thing?

"When did this happen and when are we leaving?" she asked again.

Madam Shen didn't notice her abnormal mood, and replied with a smile: "I'll leave in three days."

Leaving in three days!

To Liu Fuying, these words sounded like a bolt from the blue.

Isn't three days later the day she promised Pei Zhouwu would return?

How ridiculous!

What kind of outrageous coincidence is this? If you don’t know, you would think it’s a storybook.

"Isn't it too hasty to leave in three days?"

"Don't worry. We have been preparing for a month. After you left, your family has been busy with this matter. Now everything is ready and we are just waiting to set off. You have come back from a long journey, so take a few days to rest. We will set off in three days."

“…”

"Ayin, Xiunian said that the borderland is vast and the scenery is beautiful, and it is not as strict as the capital. There are so many rules over there..."

"Ayin, where are you going?"

“I’m going to find Shen Xiunian.”

Liu Fuying strode out of the yard again. She walked so fast that Jin Li had to run to catch up with her.

"Madam, it's better to go to Southern Xinjiang. We can stay away from this place and bury the secret of Xiangshan forever."

"No, it's not like that..."

Liu Fuying walked even faster.

In fact, she hasn't completely decided whether to go back to find Pei Zhouwu.

As long as you spend more time and think up a perfect reason, it may not be impossible.

That's good...

Because they were going to move away from the capital, almost all the valuables in the house were moved out, and even most of the servants were dismissed. There was no one guarding the door of Shen Xiunian's study, and Liu Fuying heard the conversation inside as soon as he arrived.

"This letter concerns Uncle Pei, so it's better to be cautious."

Liu Fuying's hand, which was about to knock on the door, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Why was Pei Zhouwu mentioned in it for no reason?

"Yes, there is evidence in here about Pei Zhouwu being framed. We held it in our hands to protect ourselves, but now we are about to leave Beijing and stay in Southern Xinjiang and never return to the capital. Without the threat to those people, we will naturally be safe."

"Then, General, should you give this letter to the Pei family? With this evidence, Uncle Pei will probably be able to return from Xiangshan."

"...Keep it for now, just in case."

…

Liu Fuying withdrew his hand and stepped back step by step.

After being stunned for a while, she turned around and went back the way she came.

But when he left, he no longer had the anxiety he had just shown. Every step he took was slow, which made Jin Li, who was standing beside him, anxious, and Ji Liu and Fu Ying had an ugly look on their faces.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

"You are still pregnant, ma'am, please don't worry too much or you might hurt the fetus."

The eyes under Liu Fuying's eyelids gradually turned red.

She didn't cry before, even when she parted with Pei Zhouwu, she held back.

At this moment, my nose is sore and I can't hold back the urge to cry.

He can come out.

Pei Zhouwu was able to get out of the Xiangshan cage!
