Chapter 35 Someone is coming

When it was daybreak, Qiao Qiqi woke up in a daze and found Pei Shaoling sleeping with his arms around her waist.

She gently moved his strong arm away and tried to get up.

Unexpectedly, the strong arm suddenly tightened.

Instead, she got closer to Pei Shaoling.

I could smell the faint herbal fragrance and a hint of blood on Pei Shaoling.

She frowned secretly.

Is his wound split open?

Did it accidentally crack after I sat in the wooden wheelchair yesterday?

"Are you hurt? Did the wound open?"

Leaning on Pei Shaoling's chest, she asked in a low voice.

"Well, do you want to help me?"

A man's deep and pleasant voice came from above my head.

"I, I, how about I ask Shaoan and the others to come?"

Although she had already slept in the same bed with him, Qiao Qiqi was still a little shy.

She has been single for over 20 years and has never seen a naked man.

"good."

The pleasant voice came again.

Just as Qiao Qiqi was preparing to refuse, she was stunned when she heard him say "OK".

I didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

"You are my wife. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."

Pei Shaoling gently embraced her, stroked her hair and said.

"Then last night you..."

Qiao Qiqi said sullenly.

"I couldn't help it. But you didn't reject me at the time, and you even looked..."

Pei Shaoling didn't say the next words, with a smile in his eyes.

Qiao Qiqi's face flushed immediately. "Stop talking. I'm going to make breakfast."

As soon as she finished speaking, she broke free from Pei Shaoling's restraints, stood up and tidied her clothes and hair.

In the morning, we still had porridge and beef buns.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business.

Today is the third day since they came to this place, and the rain is still falling.

The torrential rain mixed with the roaring sound was endless.

Qiao Qiqi sat on the horizontal board in the corridor, holding a medical book and looking at the rain outside.

In fact, it would be nice if it could always be like this.

There is nothing to worry about, and the years are peaceful and quiet. This is probably what it is like.

However, this idea did not last long.

The intrusion of a group of uninvited guests made her suddenly remember that she was on the road of exile.

And he was on the road of exile with natural disasters.

At this moment, she only has temporary peace!

It was noon and Qiao Qiqi was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.

She heard a loud noise outside.

When Qiao Qiqi walked out of the kitchen holding a spatula, she saw a group of people with ragged clothes and messy hair breaking in.

She frowned. How could it be them?

How did they get here?

Didn’t they say that the mountain road has collapsed?

The people who came were none other than the Xu family members who had fallen off the cliff in the ruined temple just like them and then escaped.

The Xu family was also stunned when they saw the eldest wife of the Pei family walking out of the house.

Mother Pei, who had reacted, frowned and asked the Xu family, "How did you find this place?"

However, the Xu family did not answer. Instead, they quickly walked up the stairs to the corridor and looked at the house.

"Mom, this house is nice, why don't we stay here for a while!"

The eldest son of the Xu family looked at the house with satisfaction and said to Mrs. Xu.

"good."

The Xu family members acted as if the eldest branch of the Pei family did not exist and spoke to themselves.

"Mrs. Xu, what do you mean? This house is full. If you want to live here, you can renovate the house next door and move in there!"

Mother Pei frowned and said to Madam Xu.

"Mom, the roof of the house next door is broken. It's uninhabitable."

The second son of the Xu family walked up from the stairs and said.

"Did you hear that? No one can live next door. I think this place is nice, so we'll stay here."

Madam Xu said with a domineering look on her face.

"Well, we won't take all of them. You and your family can live in the east or west wing, and the rest will belong to our Xu family."

She looked around the house again and said proudly.

"Why?"

Qiao Qiqi grabbed the spatula and stepped forward. "Everything should be based on first come first served. We are the hosts and you are the guests. We don't welcome bad guests like you. Get out!"

"Oh, isn't this the bride from the Pei family who had amnesia? What's wrong? Is she going crazy again? You have no right to speak here?"

Mrs. Xu glanced at Qiao Qiqi and said something sarcastic.

Qiao Qiqi felt cold when she heard this and was about to speak.

Suddenly, Pei Shaoling's low and pleasant voice was heard, "Who gave you the courage to bully my wife? An Lei, teach them a lesson."

Then, An Lei's figure appeared.

Bang bang bang!

Every member of the Xu family had a red and swollen palm print on their face.

Then, An Lei easily kicked them into the mud under the steps.

"You, you guys, are going too far!"

The Xu family member who was thrown into the mud pointed at Pei's mother and others and cursed them, saying that they did not have the demeanor of an official's wife at all.

Instead, she is like the unreasonable shrew in the village.

"Mrs. Xu, that's not what I meant. If you hadn't come here to occupy our house, no one would have treated you like this."

There was also a hint of anger on Pei's mother's face.

"If you had spoken to us nicely, I would have definitely vacated half of the house for you to live in, but you completely ignored us."

"Humph, if it weren't for your Marquis, my husband wouldn't have been beheaded. Why should I talk to you nicely?"

Mrs. Xu's eyes were full of hatred.

"What are you talking about? It was clearly your family's Minister Xu who dragged my family's Marquis into this situation, and you actually bite back!"

Mother Pei was furious. "The imperial examinations are the responsibility of you, the Minister of Rites. My Lord Marquis is merely holding a sinecure in the Ministry of Rites."

"But the leaked answers were copied from your Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, weren't they?"

Madam Xu glared at her fiercely, "The Emperor has already investigated thoroughly. It was your eldest son who stole the answers to the exam questions from the Ministry of Rites and sold them to the candidates!"

"You're talking nonsense! My brother didn't do that!"

Pei Shaoming on the side couldn't help but swear.

"No? If it weren't for your Marquis Mansion, would my Xu family be implicated and exiled? Don't you, the Marquis of Pingyuan Mansion, feel even a hint of guilt?"

Mrs. Xu continued to blame the eldest wife of the Pei family.

"The truth of right and wrong will be made clear one day. There's no need for you to show off here."

Qiao Qiqi glanced at Madam Xu calmly and said, "An Lei, invite the Xu family to the empty room in the west wing."

"Sister-in-law, why? Can't you just chase them away?"

Pei Shaoming became anxious.

These people pointed at the noses of the eldest branch of the Pei family and cursed them, asking how they could be allowed to stay.

"Your eldest brother's leg injury hasn't healed yet. If these people go out and encounter the officials and expose our place, we will be in trouble."

Qiao Qiqi explained, "Lock it up first and we'll talk about it in a few days."
