Chapter 224 Scars

Chen Shiyi was picking gifts for Mrs. Lan and Mo Xunyan and loading them onto the carriage.

Lan Qinghe gave Pei Luoshu a look.

They talked as they walked.

"From now on, stay in Jiangzhou and try not to go to Kyoto."

After listening to Lan Qinghe's words, Pei Luoshu was silent for a while and nodded.

"You are now a married woman, and you married Chen Shiyi, who is the benefactor of the Lan family army. You must ensure that she is safe and sound."

Pei Luoshu bowed respectfully.

"Eleven is my wife, I should love her with all my strength."

"She is a rare woman, brave, resourceful, and loyal. I don't want her to marry you, but since she likes you, there's nothing I can do about it."

Pei Luoshu pursed his lips and did not reply.

"You know your identity. Going to Kyoto is like going to a den of wolves and tigers. Find a way to stay in Jiangzhou. You two can live a good life together and live a happy life."

"Follow Marshal Lan's instructions."

Chen Shiyi and Pei Luoshu sent them out of the city gate until they were out of sight, and then they returned in a carriage with Pei Luoshu.

"What were you and Brother Lan whispering about just now?"

Pei Luoshu smiled.

"He said that you are a very special woman and a benefactor of the Lan Family Army. He asked me to treat you well. If I make you unhappy, he will peel off my skin."

Chen Shiyi thought it was really funny.

"Brother Lan is a serious person. He rarely jokes with others. You probably made up most of what you said, right?"

Pei Luoshu took her hand and held her in his arms again.

"I heard from others that there is a hot spring villa in Yuhua Forest with beautiful scenery. How about we stay there tonight?"

Chen Shiyi put his hands on his shoulders.

"Wherever you go, I'll go."

The heat in the hot spring villa was rising. When I got off the carriage, I felt a wave of hot air blowing towards me. My face was suddenly covered with a layer of steam, which was extremely comfortable.

The hot spring pool is built in a blue-brick and tiled house. To be more precise, this blue-tiled house was built for the hot springs here. Across the straight corridor bridge, you will enter a flower garden full of colorful flowers and groups of dancing butterflies, which is very lively and moving.

Chen Shiyi slid into the water and immediately felt relaxed both physically and mentally. She leaned against the edge of the pool, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, the corners of her lips slightly parted, her black hair wet and scattered on her fair shoulders and neck.

The spring pond was rippling slightly. Chen Shiyi opened her eyes and found Pei Luoshu standing beside her.

She raised her eyes to look at him, and her playful expression suddenly became awakened.

Why does he have so many scars?

I had slept in the same bed with him for the past two days but I was too shy to even open my eyes. Now that I saw it, I was truly shocked.

"When were you injured? Why didn't you tell me?"

Pei Luoshu smiled faintly.

"It's been so many years, I can't quite remember."

Chen Shiyi felt very distressed when he heard this.

She stroked the long scars on his waist, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Does it hurt?"

“It didn’t hurt…”

He sank into the hot spring pool, leaned on her shoulders and neck, and said pitifully.

"But it hurts when you touch it."

Chen Shiyi was amused.

She climbed onto his arms, rested her forehead against him, pecked his handsome face with the corner of her lips, and pulled his red ears.

"A Luo, let's have a child who looks as beautiful as you."

"Well, it's just like you, smart and kind, making people feel sorry for you."

At the edge of the hot spring pool, waves were stirred up, rising and falling again, and white shadow curtains were floating and drifting. In the haze, only overlapping figures could be seen, warm and affectionate.

Her voice was hoarse and broken.

"Slow down..."

"I think it's too slow..."

Then I heard a low and hoarse voice.

"Hurry up, it's easier to have a child..."

"Oh well…"

Chen Shiyi decided not to have any contact with Pei Luoshu for the time being.

Ever since he came back from the hot spring villa, he mentioned again and again that he wanted to go to the villa again.

Chen Shiyi didn't want to pay attention to him.

Besides, he had to deal with the political affairs of Jiangzhou, and she had a lot of things piled up on her hands for her to make decisions.

Pei Luoshu added another table next to the desk in his study.

"I will handle Jiangzhou's affairs here from now on, and you can handle yours."

Chen Shiyi was a little hesitant.

"That's not good. I don't mind, but I'm afraid there are people with bad intentions here in Jiangzhou. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it."

Pei Luoshu asked with a smile.

"Aren't all of you here your own people?"

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"I have to meet with many of the managers in person. These people are not like Bailing and Jingran who are loyal to me. I only have a relationship of interest with them. As long as someone gives them enough temptation, they will abandon me."

Pei Luoshu thought about it carefully.

"Then I'll set up a separate place for you to handle your work. You can't be too far away from me anyway. I don't want to be separated from you."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

She felt that she could get to know Pei Luoshu again.

In the past, I was a gentleman like a bamboo, humble and polite, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, speaking clearly and doing things in an orderly manner...

Now, he has a very bad shortcoming.

He is too clingy.

It's so clingy.

He speaks sweetly and knows how to coax people. Sometimes she doesn't know where he learns all this from. She will go back and ask Fu Feng what kind of books Pei Luoshu usually reads. She must not be led astray by the sour words and erotic books in them.

She has another worry recently.

When she was eating and sitting on the stool, he would hold her on his lap. When she was reading, writing, or resting...

Finally, she couldn't help but ask Pei Luoshu.

"Am I unworthy of sitting on the stool?"

He was quite serious.

"Those stools are not worthy of you."

Chen Shiyi's subsidy is really a headache.

Jing Ran recently received a message.

It is said that the governor of Anzhou, Yuan, had his injuries healed by a miracle doctor, and now he is trying to take over the Anzhou tea house.

Chen Shiyi asked.

"You didn't tell him that he needs to take the antidote every month?"

Jing Ran replied.

"He should know that, so this is just a test. If this problem is really solved, our Anzhou industries will be taken away by him under various pretexts."

Chen Shiyi sneered.

"It seems he hasn't had enough stabbings."

Pei Luoshu, who was sitting next to him, listened carefully and thought for a long time.

"Is that the beast who wants to take you as his concubine?"

Chen Shiyi had never heard Pei Luoshu swear. When he did, he felt that he was righteous and aloof, which made him even more charming.

"Um."

Pei Luoshu chuckled.

"Jingran, don't tell Madam about his affairs in the future, lest it pollute her ears. Just let me deal with this man."

Jingran nodded.

"Boss, Chang Yi and I have to go back to Anzhou first. I think the shopkeeper Li will be too busy to handle the situation."

"OK."

Jing Ran turned around to leave, but was stopped by Chen Shiyi again.

"How are Li Dazhang and An Xianwei doing now?"
