Chapter 83 Confession, to marry her

Forgive him for having to trick her into coming this way. She really can't just sit there and wait for death any longer.

If Shen Yuning went to the Imperial Hospital, who knows how many sour poems those pedantic civil servants would write for her.

Not to mention my cousin's succubus who is eyeing me covetously.

"He's prettier than a woman, and he's a master of martial arts. Fortunately, he has a hidden illness, otherwise even I would be ashamed of myself!"

Ye Feng frowned and walked out of the tent with the post.

Now I am less and less willing to help my master.

As the night gradually darkened, Pei Yanzhou returned to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion early.

He burned incense, bathed, combed his hair, and selected several brocade robes to compare in front of the bronze mirror.

Finally, I chose a white one to wear.

Afterwards, Pei Yanzhou took out the gifts that Chen Yuning had given him over the years, including the purple jade flute, sachets, picture albums, jade pendants, hair crowns, etc.

He picked out a few of the ones he liked best and brought them to Yuelai Inn.

Over the years, no matter how much he said he hated Ana Shen, he carefully treasured the things she gave him and was reluctant to throw away any of them.

Pei Yanzhou laughed secretly, "It turns out that I have fallen in love with her for a long time, but I didn't know it myself."

He used to be arrogant, unwilling to admit his feelings, and too concerned about other people's opinions. He was really stupid.

——

Yuelai Inn is prosperous and is the most luxurious inn in the capital.

It is specially used to receive royal relatives, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

Pei Yanzhou found a room in the upper wing, ordered a table full of dishes, and waited happily for Shen Yuning to arrive.

When she came over, she was still wearing the most ordinary plain robe, but her graceful figure and beautiful face could not hide her natural beauty.

A faint fragrance wafted over, and Pei Yanzhou's eyes darkened instantly.

"Ning'er--" He stretched out his big hand, wanting him to sit closer to him.

Shen Yuning sat across from him, a good distance away. Her expression was calm, showing no emotion at all.

"I wonder why the general called me here so late? Did something happen in the barracks?"

"Do you need me to help you with anything medically? Do you want me to ask other doctors to come along?"

She just thought that Pei Yanzhou was really inviting her to the banquet because of something that happened in the court.

Pei Yanzhou stared at her delicate little face and did not speak immediately.

Thinking of all the harsh words she had said to her, her eyes reddened and tears instantly flowed.

"Ning'er, do you have to be so distant when talking to me? Can't you meet with us if it's not a matter of the court?"

"I remember the General saying that you and I are strangers and should avoid contact as much as possible. I have always kept this in mind. Please get straight to the point, General. No more small talk."

She didn't see his tears and just thought that he was being so polite because he wanted something from her.

Pei Yanzhou felt a sharp pain in his heart and felt extremely guilty.

He was really afraid of Shen Yuning's eyes. That kind of calmness was more painful to him than being tortured to death.

He would rather she hated her, because at least hatred was accompanied by emotion.

Pei Yanzhou: "The reason I came here today is not actually about the court, but I want to talk to you about our affairs."

"Pei Yanzhou, I don't want to listen. Can I leave?" Shen Yuning suddenly stood up. "For so many years, I have risked my life for you and done so many things for you."

"What's owed should be paid off, right?"

She thought he was going to scold her again. "If you want to scold me, then you can impeach me. Stop... scolding me. I... can't stand it anymore. I won't accept it. Okay?"

She jumped away as if by reflex, instinctively feeling that Pei Yanzhou was going to say something harsh to her again.

"Ning, Ning'er..." Pei Yanzhou shed tears, "I didn't. I won't... won't talk about you today."

"No, I won't say harsh words to you anymore. I was wrong before!"

"I want to tell you that you have always been in my heart. I...I love you very much, Ning'er!"

"Pei Yanzhou, why are you doing this?" Shen Yuning frowned, looking puzzled.

Her first reaction was not to be touched, but to wonder if Pei Yanzhou had come to her for help again because of something concerning Chu Ruyan.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Pei Yanzhou quickly took out the gifts she had given him:

"Ning'er, do you still remember these items?"

"This is the folding fan you gave me during the Lantern Festival, this is the four treasures of the study you gave me during the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is the jade pendant you gave me during my coming-of-age ceremony, and this is the purple jade flute you gave me when we got engaged... In addition, there are also sachets, tiaras, purses, calligraphy and paintings, and so on."

Pei Yanzhou trembled as he laid out the things one by one. "Ning'er, I lied to you before and said I threw away all the things you gave me. That was all said in anger!"

"In fact, I keep every single one of them, even a handkerchief you gave me as a gift."

"Put it in the bedroom and look at it every day. I...I love you very much."

His chest heaved, and he couldn't control his emotions. After suppressing them for so long, he finally spoke out what was in his heart.

"Ning'er, forgive me. I don't want to miss you again. Can you give me another chance?"

"Ning'er, Brother Yanzhou begs you, marry me, okay? I really can't lose you!"

Shen Yuning finally turned around and looked at him with an incredible look, "Pei Yanzhou, you are getting married on the eighth day of next month, what are you talking about now?"

"Do you know who I am? Have you been drinking today? Does Chu Ruyan know that you are drunk? Do you want to inform her?"

"Ning'er!" Pei Yanzhou held her hand tightly. "I know you understand. You are not allowed to run away. You love me too, right?"

He pointed at the gifts and said, "You've put so much thought into me and given me so many things. I don't believe you can forget me just like that!"

He said firmly: "Ning'er, you love me too!"

As soon as the voice fell, before Shen Yuning could say anything, there was a sudden movement in the private room next door.

As the partition was slowly moved away, the two private rooms were connected in an instant.

Chu Ruyan sat on the chair with tears on her face, and the vicious Hong Gu stood beside her.

The room opposite was also filled with a dazzling array of gifts, various jewelry and items, which were particularly dazzling in the candlelight.

"Brother Yanzhou said that Sister Yuning gave you a gift because she loved you very much. Then you gave me so many gifts, so you must love me very much too!"

"Brother Yanzhou, are you confused by saying this to Sister Yuning?"

"The person you love most is me!"

Chu Ruyan, with her hands stained with red, pointed at the objects in the room and said:

"Look, these are the jade hairpins, jasper hairpins, gold hairpins, red agate hairpins, as well as oriental pearls, bracelets, and earrings you gave me on my birthday every year. I can't even count them all!"

"Not only that, every year on the Lantern Festival, the Ghost Festival, the Qiqiao Festival, New Year's Eve, and even... Brother Yanzhou gives me surprises on almost every festival except Qingming Festival."

"Poor Yan'er, my stepmother neglected me and I have nothing decent to rely on. If it weren't for Brother Yanzhou, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up among the noble ladies in the capital!"

Hong Gu also came up at the right time. She said in front of Shen Yuning and Pei Yanzhou:

"Yes, General Pei, words can lie, but things can never lie! Do you need to tell me who you have in your heart?"

"Over the years, you've put so much effort into Miss Chu, and you've also put so much effort into Miss Shen. Everyone can see it!"

She looked at Shen Yuning seriously, "Right? Miss Shen? General Pei has never given you a gift, right?"
