Chapter 41 His lovely wife got drunk and asked him for a kiss
The woman in green was surprised that the young lady beside this handsome young man would react so strongly. After a moment's pause, she smiled and said, "Young lady, you are so jealous. I was just joking with your husband..."
Shen Youran hugged Pei Huaijin's arm, glared at her fiercely, and dragged Pei Huaijin away angrily.
Pei Huaijin lowered his eyes to look at the person who was walking forward with his arm around his shoulders. There was a smile in the corners of his eyes and brows that he had not noticed.
No one knew why she suddenly became obsessed with his arms. Even when she returned home, she was already drunk and confused, but she still held him tightly and refused to let go.
Seeing her like this, it seemed that she couldn't walk, so Pei Huaijin asked Qing Jian to drive the carriage to the back door. He picked up the drunk person with one hand and got out of the carriage.
Just like that, he held her in his arms, and she held his arm, and they returned to Yunzhiyuan in a very strange posture.
She ordered Danruo and the others to prepare hot water and clean clothes. Her body and hair were covered with dust, so even though she was drunk, she had to take a bath.
"Why don't you let go?" Pei Huaijin held her in the hall and waited for a while, not knowing if she could still hear what others were saying. "If you don't let go, do you want me to bathe with you later?"
Fortunately, she still had a little clarity of mind, and after hearing what he said, she finally slowly let go of his hand.
His arm felt empty and the warmth and softness were gone, but Pei Huaijin actually felt a little reluctant to let go.
But she was still leaning in his arms, her head resting on his shoulder, and the scent of alcohol gently sprayed on his neck, making him feel itchy and making his heart itchy as well.
The big hand lifted her small chin, and the pair of lips smelling of alcohol appeared under her eyes.
I wanted to kiss her on the way to Fengle Building, but she didn't let me.
Can I kiss you now?
His fingertips gently stroked those rosy red lips, and accidentally parted them, revealing a few white teeth...
That time she was drugged and touched him all over in the carriage. When he tried to stop her from doing that, she got upset and bit him with these teeth.
He moved his fingertips down a little, and with a little more force, the mouth opened even wider, and he could see the moist, rosy tongue inside.
After staring at the square for a long time, Pei Huaijin finally closed his little mouth: Forget it, if I kiss her awake later, she will definitely scold him for being a dog who takes advantage of others.
Qing Jian walked in and said to him, "My dear, someone came to Haitang Garden and said that the eldest lady wants to see you."
"I see." He thought his mother must have heard about what happened at the Changxing Marquisate today. She must have asked him to go over because of Meng Wanxin's matter. "Tell that person to go back and tell mother that I have something else to do right now and won't be there for about two or three quarters of an hour."
"yes."
A quarter of an hour later, Danruo came in and said that the hot water was ready, and Qinghe also brought clean clothes.
Pei Huaijin carried the person in his arms into the bathroom and handed Shen Youran to two maids. Then he left the yard and walked towards his mother's Begonia Garden.
*
Zhu has been feeling uneasy today, always feeling that something is going to happen.
Today, in addition to asking Pei Huaijin to go to Changxing Marquis Mansion to congratulate her on her behalf, Zhu also prepared another gift and asked someone to send it over.
Before it was completely dark, the person she sent came back and said that there was a sudden fire in the backyard of Changxing Marquis's Mansion, and the marriage was terminated halfway through.
I heard that a maid named Mei Niang was burned to death in the courtyard where the fire broke out, and Lin Jia Wulang was clinging to the burnt corpse like a madman and refused to let go...
Zhu's heart sank. Long before Meng Wanxin wanted to marry Lin Wulang, she had heard that Lin Wulang had a concubine. She had also warned Meng Wanxin that Lin Wulang was not someone she could entrust her life to, but the girl hadn't listened and had married him anyway. Now that something like this had happened, the marriage was probably difficult to continue...
After all, she was the maid who had served her for two years, and Zhu had treated her as half a daughter. Now that something like this had happened to her, Zhu naturally could not stand idly by, so she sent someone to Yunzhiyuan to call Pei Huaijin over to discuss Meng Wanxin's matter.
But the person sent to Yunzhiyuan came back soon and said that the eldest son and the eldest lady had not returned yet.
Maybe their carriage was a little slow.
Zhu had no choice but to calm down, wait for another quarter of an hour, and sent someone to Yunzhiyuan to ask again, but the answer she got was the same.
Why haven’t you come back yet?
Didn't they say that all the guests at Changxing Marquis' Mansion had dispersed? If he didn't go back to the mansion, where else could he go?
Zhu was so anxious that her stomach was burning with anxiety, but the man didn't come back. She had no choice but to send people to guard near Yunzhi Courtyard. If they saw the eldest son coming back, they would leave and ask him to come to Haitang Garden to see her.
An hour later, I finally got the news: "Madam, the eldest son has returned. He said he has something else to do and won't be able to see you for another quarter of an hour..."
"At this time, what could be more important than Wanxin's matter?" Zhu was anxious, but helpless.
When her eldest son finally came over, she was filled with rage and immediately started to scold him: "Where have you been? Your cousin got into such a big trouble, and you didn't stay at the Changxing Marquis' Mansion to help her make the decision. But since you left, why didn't you come back earlier to talk to me about all this?"
"Mother, calm down." Compared to Zhu's rage, Pei Huaijin was as calm as an outsider. Admittedly, he did consider himself an outsider. "When I left the mansion, I had someone notify my cousin's family. They left not long ago and will be back in two or three sticks of incense. They will help my cousin make a decision. I'm just a distant cousin, so it's not my place to interfere..."
"Although we're distant relatives, she's been filial to me for two years. Considering this friendship, you shouldn't abandon her."
"Three years ago, I was transferred to Lingzhou to serve as an official. I was unable to fulfill my filial duties to my mother out of helplessness, but how can I say that my cousin fulfilled her filial duties on my behalf? She is staying in the mansion temporarily, and serving you is her intention. It has nothing to do with me. Mother, please don't confuse the two things..."
Her son was always good at reasoning, and Zhu was choked back by him. She was so angry that she didn't say anything for a long time: Forget it, now is not the time to talk about filial piety...
"Tomorrow, you will accompany me to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion. I heard that the maid that Lin Wulang kept died. He was in a terrible rage. It would be unfortunate for Wanxin to marry such a person. Regardless of whether this marriage is successful or not, the Changxing Marquis' Mansion must give Meng girl an explanation..."
Pei Huaijin had just told her that he was just an outsider and didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the Meng and Lin families. It seemed that his mother didn't listen to him at all.
He was too lazy to repeat the same thing and just said, "I have other things to do tomorrow. If you want to go to the Changxing Marquis Mansion, I apologize that I cannot accompany you."
"What else do you have to do tomorrow?"
"Let's go to the Xiao Mansion." Pei Huaijin said, "You Ran is well now. I will take her to the Xiao Mansion to ask Aunt Xiao to come back and continue teaching her."
Zhu had thought it was something very important, but when she heard him say this, she almost laughed out loud. "Your cousin is in dire straits right now, and yet you're still thinking about asking Aunt Xiao to come and give lessons to the one in your room? Can't you tell which of these two matters is more important?"
"As a son, I know what's important and what's not, and I hope you can also know what's near and what's far. If you don't have anything else to tell me, I'll go back first."
Zhu was furious and anxious. She pointed at him and said, "One day you're going to make me die of anger..."
"I'm not trying to piss you off. You're often angry, so you should look for the reasons within yourself..."
Zhu: "...Get out of here!"
Now that he was out, Pei Huaijin simply went to Ciyouyuan again.
The window of the study was lit, and Shen Yunshu was reading with Pei Huaian inside.
Pei Huaijin asked someone to call Shen Yunshu out and talked to her in the yard.
"Today, a fire broke out in the Changxing Marquis' Mansion, and my seventh brother was frightened. Please pay more attention to him at night. I'm worried that he will have a nightmare..."
"I heard him talk about it, but he said Youran was scared."
"You Ran was safe and sound, and is now fine. My seventh brother experienced a fire when he was young, and it left a scar on his heart, though he's unaware of it. When he suddenly saw the fire today, he was stunned and fainted for a moment."
"I see. Thanks for the reminder, big brother. I'll pay more attention to it at night."
"Yeah." Pei Huaijin glanced at the window of the study and praised her, "You've done a good job of disciplining her."
"It was Qilang who figured it out on his own and realized how to make progress."
Pei Huaijin praised her generously: "It was only after you came that he gradually became sensible. You have worked hard."
"These are what my sister-in-law should do."
"Come in, no need to see me off."
"yes."
It was a dark winter night, and lights were on everywhere in the courtyard. When Pei Huaijin returned to Yunzhi Courtyard, he saw Qinghe taking another stronger maid to the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" he asked Qinghe, "She hasn't finished her bath yet?"
"The young lady fell asleep in the bathtub and couldn't be woken up no matter what we did. Danruo and I couldn't carry her out..."
Pei Huaijin glanced at the slightly strong maid, thinking that she might not be able to carry the slippery person out of the bathtub, so he said, "I'll go."
Qinghe widened her eyes slightly, but didn't dare to say anything more. She had to ask the maid to leave and followed him into the bathroom.
There was a floor heating system and a stove in the clean room, which made it warm, humid and filled with steam.
After getting used to the mist, Pei Huaijin's eyes quickly locked onto the bathtub.
The person in the tub was sleeping with her head resting on the tub wall, her face on her back, looking completely unaware of the world. A considerate maid had placed a towel behind her neck to protect her from any scratches.
The fine black hair hung outside the bathtub, and the white neck was tilted back, drawing a beautiful arc.
As I got closer, I could see the other side of the tub. Her injured hand was resting on the edge of the tub. Her arm, moistened by the warm water, was white and smooth, as if it had been waxed...
The water in the bathtub was neither too deep nor too shallow, rippling gently beneath the delicate collarbones.
The water is clear and if you look closely you can see the spring scenery under the water.
Pei Huaijin had no intention of peeping, so he had to look away and take off his outer robe first to avoid getting her dirty when he hugged her later.
After Dan Ruo Qinghe prepared the towel for wiping the body, he bent down in only his undershirt and pulled the person out of the bathtub.
The sound of water is so clear and crisp, as if a piece of delicate and warm jade has been fished out.
Although he turned his head away intentionally, his peripheral vision still caught sight of things he shouldn't have seen, such as white, undulating, and slender...
The moment his girl was pulled out, Danruo quickly covered her with the wide scarf in his hand.
Pei Huaijin wrapped the person in his arms with a handkerchief, and then carried her to the soft couch beside him. Two maids were responsible for one wringing out her hair and the other wiping the water off her body.
The person being served was still sleeping comfortably.
The person had already been carried out, and he couldn't stay here any longer: "If she doesn't wake up later, go to the study and call me."
The two maids responded: "Yes."
Pei Huaijin took his outer robe and walked out of the hot and humid bathroom.
It was only a short while, but I was already sweating.
About half an hour later, Danruo came to the study to find him and said that he was still asleep.
He asked Danruo to get the crane cloak that her seventh brother had given her from the closet, take it to the bathroom, wrap the still sleeping person tightly, and then carry him back to the bedroom.
The hibiscus soaked in water has jade-like skin, rosy red lips, and looks gorgeous and charming.
Pei Huaijin always knew that his wife was a beauty, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted so many young men outside to be obsessed with her.
But looking at her tonight, I feel that she is even more breathtakingly beautiful. Her closed eyes are beautiful, her long folded eyelashes are beautiful, her straight nose, her rosy lips, and even the strand of black hair on her forehead are all so beautiful that I can't take my eyes away...
He had originally planned to go to the study to read for a while after putting her down, but at this moment, he felt for the first time that those books were boring and not as pleasing as the Sleeping Beauty in front of him.
Until Qing Jian came and knocked on the door: "My dear, the water has been changed."
Pei Huaijin only then realized that he had been staring at a sleeping person for so long.
When he came back from showering, Qinghe brought him a bowl of sobering soup, saying that she had prepared it when they left the house this afternoon.
But now the only drunk person had fallen asleep. Pei Huaijin thought about it and decided to take the sobering soup from that night to see if he could wake the person up and feed it to him.
He brought the sobering soup back to the dormitory, placed it on the small table beside the bed, then bent down and pinched the delicate little face.
"Wake up..."
Perhaps his voice was too low and his movements were too gentle, so the sleeping person was not disturbed at all, and even his eyelashes did not tremble.
He fiddled with those two red lips again.
"Wake up..."
Her lips opened and closed with his movements, and her pearly teeth appeared and disappeared.
Obviously this method is useless, and he knows it himself.
After realizing that he had done something very childish, Pei Huaijin smiled secretly, gave up the idea of waking her up to drink the sobering soup, took off his shoes, and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.
Perhaps he made some noise when he came up, and the person who had been sleeping with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.
Pei Huaijin had just laid down when he saw her "wake up" and wanted to get up to get her some sobering soup.
Just as he sat up, she suddenly hugged his arm, holding him tightly like before.
Pei Huaijin knew then: she was not awake, but sleepwalking again.
She had been so frightened today, and he expected that she would not sleep well tonight. Unexpectedly, she did not cry or make a fuss, but just hugged and embraced his arms.
"Mine, this is mine!" Her tone was fierce and aggressive, as if something was trying to snatch it from her.
They had a similar incident in the restaurant, so he agreed with her and said, "It's yours, no one is competing with you for it."
She was still angry, her cheeks puffed up with anger: "Don't talk to her..."
Who should not talk to?
Pei Huaijin was puzzled, but still cooperated: "Okay, I won't talk to her."
"You can only talk to me."
"good."
"Hold me..."
"..." Hmm? In her dream, who did she want to hug her?
Pei Huaijin didn't respond for a moment, and she immediately became anxious.
"Hold me, Pei Huaijin, please hold me, I'm scared..."
Hearing her say his name, Pei Huaijin immediately took her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, I'm holding you."
"Wuwuwu..." She suddenly burst into tears, tears falling down, and said aggrievedly, "Such a big fire, such choking smoke, I can't run away, wuwu, I can't run away, Pei Huaijin, why don't you come to save me..."
Sure enough, I was still shocked by the fire.
Pei Huaijin patted her back gently, rubbed his chin against her forehead, and said guiltily: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone so late, I'm sorry."
She finally let go of his arm, grabbed his collar, and while mumbling curses at him, she wiped all her tears and snot on his pajamas.
Soon, a large area of his shirt was wet.
While staining his clothes, she also smeared her own face with dirt.
When she had almost cried enough and stopped shedding tears, but just sobbed in his arms, Pei Huaijin pulled the thin rope beside the bed, and the clear sound of bells was heard outside.
After being married for so long, this was the first time I called for water, and it turned out to be like this.
The maid on duty quickly brought the water. Pei Huaijin didn't ask the maid to come in. He got out of bed and took it himself. He soaked the handkerchief in it and wiped her face first. Then he changed the handkerchief and wiped the area in front of his body.
As for the pajamas that she had soiled, he had thrown them under the bed. There were still some bloodstains on them. I guess they were from the wound on the back of her hand when she was crying while clutching his clothes...
Pei Huaijin changed into pajamas and came over to check the wound on her hand.
She sat on the bed with her eyes half open and half closed, and she was quiet now.
He lifted her injured hand to check, and sure enough, one of the wounds had opened a little.
He took out the medicine and reapplied it, then out of the corner of his eye he saw her staring at him with her eyes open.
Are you still sleepwalking?
Pei Huaijin blew on the ointment on her hand and was wondering what she was going to say in her sleep when he suddenly heard her shout, "Brother-in-law."
His hands trembled, and he looked up at her in disbelief: "What did you call me?"
She frowned, looking very conflicted: "Brother-in-law, why are you my brother-in-law?"
It seems that he is not sleepwalking, but has woken up and is talking drunkenly.
Pei Huaijin held her hand. Although he knew that she was not in a clear mind at the moment, he still explained to her seriously: "I am not your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is Pei Huaian..."
"No, Pei Huaian is my fiancé..."
"He used to be your fiancé, but now I am your husband."
"But you are my future brother-in-law?"
"I'm not your future brother-in-law, I'm your current husband." Pei Huaijin caressed the confused face, his eyes falling on her slightly parted lips. "You called me 'husband', do you remember?"
That was the day she returned home. She was drugged and lost her mind. She pressed him down in the carriage and kissed him, calling him "husband" several times.
She seemed to have heard it, and opened her eyes wide in confusion: "So are you my brother-in-law or my husband?"
He bent down and kissed her lips: "What do you think?"
She was stunned and confused: "Why did you kiss me?"
"Because I am your husband, and only your husband can kiss you..."
She was stunned, looking up, not knowing what to think. After a few breaths, she took the initiative to move closer to him: "I'm still not sure, kiss me again..."
Pei Huaijin felt something explode in his chest. His heart was beating wildly, and every beat challenged his sobriety and rationality, which he was so proud of.
She is so cute.
His wife is so cute.
His lovely wife was asking him for a kiss.
The moment her sanity collapsed, his big hands passed through her cloud-like black hair, grabbed the back of her head, and pressed her hard against him.
Those two lips that he had wanted to kiss since the carriage were taken into his mouth. He pried open the pearly teeth beneath the red lips, and drew out the small tongue hidden inside, entangled with them, and sucked...
Shen Youran's tongue felt numb and a little painful from his eating. She struggled to say "enough, enough", but he swallowed all the vague, tiny words and the sweet, alcohol-scented juice into his stomach...
A quarter of an hour later, he rang the bell again.
*
Leaving Youyuan.
Tonight, Pei Huaian took the initiative to read in the study for two hours. Perhaps he overworked his brain, so after taking a bath, he fell asleep on the Arhat bed.
The room was deep and silent. Shen Yunshu planned to go to bed late tonight because of Pei Huaijin's reminder. Now she was sitting on the edge of the bed, reading a book by the light of a small lamp.
The candle wick crackled and sparks flew, startling Shen Yunshu. She looked up at the clepsydra and found that it was already the middle of the night.
The person on the other side of the screen was sleeping soundly. Shen Yunshu was also tired, so she prepared to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
But at this moment, a scream came from the other side of the screen: "Father, Mother..."
“Don’t die…”
“Don’t kill me…”
“It hurts so much…”
Shen Yunshu didn't bother to put on her shoes and ran barefoot to the screen: "Pei Huaian, Pei Huaian..."
"Don't kill my father and mother, please..."
"Pei Huaian, wake up!"
"Save my father and mother, who will save us..."
"Pei Huaian..."
Shen Yunshu pieced together from his mumbling that he was trapped in a horrible nightmare. In the dream, someone was hunting him and his parents. He was begging for mercy, for help, and crying with his hands covered. His voice was filled with pain and despair...
Why did he have such a dream?
Has he ever experienced such a terrible thing?
Shen Yunshu called him anxiously, shook him, pulled him up from the bed, and hugged him: "Pei Huaian, wake up quickly, everything will be fine when you wake up..."
He felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and desperately hid in her arms, wishing he could stuff himself into her body.
She had no choice but to hug him tighter and stroke his head: "It's okay, Pei Huaian, I'm here, I'm here..."
He still didn't wake up, but gradually became quiet.
Shen Yunshu stroked him again and again until his breathing became steady.
She wanted to put him back on the couch, but as soon as she separated from him, he started to convulse again. She had no choice but to hug him again, patting him and comforting him.
Later, she could no longer bear his weight, but she could not leave, so she had to lie down with him.
He rested his head on her arm, leaned into her arms, and hugged her waist, like a big bird leaning against her...
