Pei Yunchu's eyes flickered slightly, his handsome and unruly face showed some embarrassment, and a blush quickly appeared on his cheeks.

He lowered his head and stammered,

"I...Xiaoyi, actually, even if I didn't come today, I was planning to come see you in the next two days."

"I've discussed it with my family, and my parents agree. I plan to take you in as my concubine."

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Pei Yunchu raised his eyebrows complacently, "Why, are you so happy that you've become stupid because I let you follow me?"

"It's nothing, it's all thanks to your own hard work. My parents love you very much, and this is the blessing you have received."

"No need to be grateful. Just serve me well in the future and that will be your way of repaying my kindness."

Shen Ningzhu gritted her teeth.

Repay him? No, now she just wanted to beat him up, the kind that would blow his head off with a hammer. What a blessing, it's better to keep it for him, her Xiaoyi doesn't look down on it.

Pei Yunchu stood up and searched around the house, puzzled. "What is she doing?"

Liu Zhiyi was much calmer.

"Zhuzhu——"

Shen Ningzhu looked at her and saw her shaking her head slightly at her. She immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Xiaoyi, don't let love cloud your mind. I won't allow you to ruin yourself like this."

Pei Yunchu was dumbfounded.

What's wrong with yourself?

He was the young prince of the Peiguo Mansion, a young and proud general, and being his concubine was actually a disgrace. Was this woman mentally ill? Did she really think she was a dishonor?

They are all like her, acting like clowns for so long, but in the end they just become Ayan's concubine?

If he were to say, it was because A Yan, the taciturn person, was too easy to control. The woman was disobedient simply because she was giving her too much face.

"Xiaoyi, don't listen to her nonsense. Although I can't make you my concubine, I can promise you that I will treat you with the utmost love in the future. With this, you will be second only to the mistress in the entire Peiguo Mansion."

"Food, clothing and other necessities won't be bad either."

"Your Kung Fu is pretty good. If you practice diligently in the future, you will definitely be more capable than those ladies from wealthy families in the capital."

"If I go to the battlefield in the future, I will take you with me. We will be a great couple and we will definitely create a good story. What do you think? I still love you, right?"

Shen Ningzhu: ...

No, she really couldn't stand this peacock for even a second.

"You go."

Liu Zhiyi said lightly.

Pei Yunchu smiled and said, "Are you so anxious to become my man? Well, wait, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

Liu Zhiyi smiled slowly.

She tried to struggle to get up, but as soon as she moved, the wound was pulled. She grimaced in pain and fell back.

Shen Ningzhu didn't bother looking for a stick and hurried over to help her. Pei Yunchu smiled and said,

"Just lie down, we're almost a family now, why are you still bothering with those empty formalities? You don't have to see me off."

Liu Zhiyi insisted that Shen Ningzhu help her sit up, looking into Pei Yunchu's eyes, and said word by word,

"Young General, please go back. From now on, we are separated by mountains and rivers. I only wish to never see you again."

Pei Yunchu stood there in a daze.

It took a long time before his eyes moved. He was a little confused for a moment. He knew every word Liu Zhiyi said, but why couldn't he understand when they were put together?

Shen Ningzhu kindly reminded him.

"You can go now. As for taking a concubine, forget it. My Xiaoyi doesn't like people like you."

Pei Yunchu certainly couldn't leave. Seeing that a commotion was about to break out, Liu Zhiyi hurriedly said,

"Zhuzhu is right, I definitely don't like you."

"Who do you like then?"

"Sorry, I like eunuchs. If you want me to be your concubine, it's not impossible, unless..."

Puff——

Chen Ningzhu almost laughed out loud, "Did you hear that? If you want to marry my Xiaoyi, please go to the palace first, otherwise you won't be able to win my Xiaoyi's heart."

Pei Yunchu was finally angry and left.

Shen Ningzhu sighed and could no longer laugh. She sat back at the head of the bed in a daze, her eyes darker than ever before.

"Xiaoyi, do you think I'm particularly useless?"

"After working so hard for so long, I suddenly realized today that in this era, even if a man hates a woman, he can still let her into his house and take his surname."

"Maybe it's because of a vested interest, or maybe it's because that woman has put her stamp on him, so in this life she can only be his, and when she dies, she can only be his ghost. There's no way she'll be wandering around outside."

"I actually still wanted to struggle. Ultimately, I was too naive and ridiculous."

But she really didn't want to accept it.

Not to mention love, Princess Qingyi almost took Liu Zhiyi's life. Later, the Crown Princess entered the mansion, and there were all kinds of concubines, noble concubines, maids, and maids.

By then, where would there be room for her and Liu Zhiyi to survive?

Is she really going to accept her fate, fight to the death in this backyard, and become neither human nor ghost?

No, she would rather die than do that.

The bright young lady who once dared to love and hate, lived freely and unrestrainedly, and was so sunny and full of vitality, but now there is a unprecedented confusion in her eyes, which makes Liu Zhiyi feel extremely distressed.

"Zhuzhu, you are not wrong."

The mistake is that they have received many years of higher education and have absolute self-awareness, but they traveled through time and space and became powerless ordinary people.

Living in this backward feudal dynasty, they were confined and oppressed by the ideology of male superiority and female inferiority.

In such a general environment, what can these two weak women, who are powerless and unable to even tie a chicken, do?

Having your spine crushed and your pride broken are nothing. Being alive is already very difficult.

"Xiaoyi, whenever I think about living like this from now on, in darkness forever, I feel so sad."

"I don't want to see that disgusting couple. They're so in love, why should they make us just a part of their play?"

Liu Zhiyi pursed her lips.

"Zhuzhu, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually doesn't like Princess Qingyi, and only has other feelings for her?"

Shen Ningzhu wiped the tears from her cheeks and snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"What difference does it make? As long as he's the crown prince, I'll never like him in my life."

She has had emotional cleanliness since she was a child.

The emperor was ruthless, not to mention loyal to one person. She was just an ordinary person, and she didn't dare to bet that she would be an exception. She was lucky not to be sacrificed to his imperial power.

The wooden door was kicked open with a bang.

The luxurious boots clung to the ground, making a dull sound. The man was handsome and unparalleled, but his face was as black as ink.

“Chen Ningzhu, who did you just say was disgusting?”

If Pei Yunchu hadn't come to complain to him, he wouldn't have been able to hear this wonderful scene!

He considered himself ruthless and cold-blooded, but compared to the woman in front of him, he was not even half as cruel as her.

In her eyes, she actually found him disgusting?

You are affectionate and affectionate with him one second, and cry your heart out to others the next. Do you think he is disgusting?

Who was it that kept saying that he loved him and was desperate to enter his prince's mansion?

"Chen Ningzhu, speak."
