Chapter 56 Madam, You Are Back

"How is that possible?"

Liu Fuying closed his eyes and a sigh flowed between his lips and teeth.

"Of course, we can't report such a big thing directly. After all, it's just a letter. We can't guarantee that they will turn around and say that the letter is fake. Now that we know who framed us, we must investigate thoroughly first. Once we have a target, we can collect evidence and make sure that the other party has no way to defend themselves. Only then can we have a chance of winning."

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he spoke again.

"I'm afraid it will take several months at the earliest. If the other party is cunning, it is possible that it will take several years. However, the Pei family has been standing in the capital for so many years and they are not pushovers. The Pei family only has this one son, so they will definitely do their best to save him."

"lady……"

"Let's go back home."

Liu Fuying didn't want to say anything more. He was already very tired after walking on the mountain road for such a long time in the morning.

On the way home, she fell asleep.

When they arrived at the door of Shen's house, Jin Li gently woke her up and then sent someone to call a doctor. Although Liu Fuying was roughly sure that she was pregnant, she still had to wait for the doctor to check her pulse before she could be completely sure.

When she heard that Liu Fuying had called a doctor, Old Madam Shen hurried to Liu Fuying's Suxingyuan again.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, she saw the doctor coming out of the house with a happy face and congratulating her, saying: "Congratulations, old lady, you will have a grandson soon."

This confirmed that Liu Fuying was indeed pregnant.

"That's great, that's great, Ayin..."

The old lady came into the room and took Liu Fuying's hand to look her up and down. Even though she couldn't see anything at the moment, she felt happy.

"I knew I hadn't made the mistake of letting him go."

The old lady's smiling words also made Liu Fuying raise his eyebrows in amusement.

She knew that what Madam Shen was talking about was asking Shen Xiunian to accompany her to Yizhou.

Speaking of which, I really have to thank Madam Shen for this.

Otherwise, she would have to make a good plan. She would say that she was pregnant after returning from Xiangshan, and the doctor diagnosed that she was already one month pregnant. That didn't match the months. After all, he and Shen Xiunian were separated for this month, and the child must not be his. If he met someone who couldn't keep his word and told others about it, then what future would she have?

Chen Xiunian probably thought of this, so he endured everything and went to Yizhou to help her act.

However, Shen Xiunian did it not for her but for the reputation of the Shen family.

She found it funny when she thought of Shen Xiunian's helpless and humiliating look.

He must have felt uncomfortable all the way to Yizhou.

A decent husband was so humble as to cover up the scandal between his wife and her lover. No one would believe it if he told others about it.

"Ayin, you must take a good rest. By the way, if this is the case, should we set off to Southern Xinjiang later? It's a long journey and I'm afraid you can't handle it. What if..."

"It doesn't matter."

Liu Fuying refused without hesitation, averted his eyes and suppressed the unspeakable emotions.

"The doctor said that my pulse is stable and I'm fine. I just need to rest and sleep well during the journey. It's not a rushed journey, so I just need to take my time on the way."

Now that you have made up your mind, don't give yourself room for regret.

It's time to end it.

The relationship between her and Pei Zhouwu had originally been planned to end at this point.

Old Madam Shen gave instructions for a long time, and only left Shuxingyuan reluctantly when it was time to take the medicine.

After that, Liu Fuying lay on the couch and rested.

I don't know how long I slept when I heard a noise outside the house. It sounded like Shen Xiunian had arrived.

She looked up and saw that it was dark outside the window.

With a "bang", the door was knocked open, and indeed, Shen Xiunian walked in with a lot of anger.

"General, our lady..."

"roll!"

Jin Li was afraid that Chen Xiunian would hurt Liu Fuying, and wanted to persuade him, but Chen Xiunian yelled at her until her soul was trembling. She looked at Liu Fuying aggrievedly, and when she saw Liu Fuying's eyes telling her not to worry, she nodded and walked out the door.

"Where are the things?"

Chen Xiunian strode over and stopped in front of Liu Fuying's couch.

"Don't try to deny it. I can't think of anyone else in this mansion who would dare to smash my study."

"Look." Liu Fuying lay on her side, propped up her elbow and looked at him, smiling, "You can already guess that it was me who did it, so how can I honestly keep the things and wait for you to come and take them?"

"You sent it to Pei's house?"

Liu Fuying did not answer, but just raised his eyebrows disapprovingly as a response, which could be regarded as his tacit agreement.

This time, Shen Xiunian was silent.

He didn't even have time to change into his official uniform. He probably came to her as soon as he found out about what happened in the study.

Liu Fuying noticed that his sleeves moved, perhaps because his fists were clenched tightly under his long sleeves.

"It's him. It really is him."

Liu Fuying seemed to be thinking about something, wondering what he meant.

What do you mean it really was him?

I thought Shen Xiunian would guess that her lover outside was Pei Zhouwu only after he knew that she had sent the letter to the Pei family and came to question her.

But from what he said, could it be that he had guessed that there was something going on between her and Pei Zhouwu before?

"That day I heard him keep calling out the name 'A Ying' in his sleep. At the time I thought I was crazy and thought that person was you. Later when I saw the firefly hairpin, I realized that the 'A Ying' he was talking about was not you, A Ying. But it turned out...it was all true."

Liu Fuying lifted the hair on her forehead and thought, so that's how it is.

His intuition was quite accurate. It turned out that he had started to suspect her and Pei Zhouwu since that time.

"Do you know what kind of disaster will be brought to our family if someone finds out?!"

"You shout again, shout louder, shout louder, shout louder until everyone knows, and then the disaster may come as you wish."

“…”

Chen Xiunian glanced back, but in the end he still lost some momentum.

"You said you would send the letter, but you didn't even discuss this with me?"

"Heh." Liu Fuying couldn't help but sneer, staring at him and said, "So, there is something we can discuss?"

“You…” Shen Xiunian understood her sarcastic tone.

She was blaming him for not discussing with her the matter of moving the family out of Beijing.

"Liu Fuying, you..."

"I am pregnant."

"What did you say?" Shen Xiunian was shocked again.

He had just come back from outside and had not yet heard that Liu Fuying was pregnant.

Liu Fuying did not repeat it a second time, but said solemnly: "I will be leaving Beijing soon. As long as you don't tell anyone about Pei Zhouwu and I, no one will know. I have sent the letter, and I am pregnant with the child. I will not mention this matter again. If you are really angry, then write a divorce letter to me. But, do you dare?"

He doesn't dare.

He also has a mother who could go crazy at any time, and he doesn't dare to risk it.

"Liu Fuying, you are so cruel."

After brewing for a long time, Shen Xiunian just sneered and uttered this sentence.

He also sincerely thought she was cruel.

He, his mother, or even... Pei Zhouwu, no one is taken seriously by her. Anyone can become a tool for her to achieve her goals, and anyone can be discarded by her at any time.

She was so cruel that he admired her a little.

He clenched his fists under his sleeves, tightened and unclenched them, but in the end he didn't get any results.

He originally wanted to seek accountability from Liu Fuying, but ended up being confronted by her instead, leaving him feeling ashamed.

It seemed as if he was always at a disadvantage in front of her and could never get anything good.

He could only swallow his anger, turn his back and walk away from her in embarrassment.

*

Xiangshan Bamboo House.

There was no light in the bedroom, only a hint of moonlight shining through the window.

The door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and light footsteps stepped in from outside, slowly walked to the bed and sat down.

Slender, warm fingers slid across the nose of the sleeping Pei Zhouwu, and finally landed on the corner of his cold lips. After being awakened, Pei Zhouwu opened his eyes and saw the person in front of the bed, and struggled to sit up.

"Ma'am, you're back."

He opened his arms to hug her, but unexpectedly he hugged nothing.

This time, I was truly awakened.

The silent room had no lights or colours, and it was so quiet that it made one feel an uncontrollable emptiness.

The food on the table in front had been there since noon. He only took a few bites. Ever since his "Su Yueying" left, he had no appetite at all.

Turning over and sitting up, he looked down at the firefly wooden hairpin that he had been holding tightly in his hand.

"What to do, I missed you so much."
