Chapter 103 Carving a New Firefly Hairpin
"You are the most cruel woman I have ever seen."
Pei Zhouwu said this, but his hand wiped Liu Fuying's tear-stained face with pity. Every movement was so gentle as if he was afraid that it would break if he touched it.
"I admire you, Ying. I really admire your ability to tell lies fluently."
Liu Fuying lifted his buttocks and moved back, looking apologetic.
"So, you really did go over the mountain to find me, right?" she asked.
"What do you think?"
Every time she stepped back, Pei Zhouwu would get closer.
"I climbed several mountains, but I didn't see a hunter's thatched house, or even a ghost."
He said this with some grievance, and didn't want to experience this kind of grievance again in the future, so he told Liu Fuying, hoping that she would not lie to him again in the future.
"I almost lost the firefly wood hairpin you gave me. My heart was almost broken."
Hearing him talking about the firefly wooden hairpin, Liu Fuying subconsciously looked up at his hair.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you wearing that firefly wood hairpin for a long time."
After hearing this, Pei Zhouwu turned away with his eyelids twitching.
Seeing this, Liu Fuying blinked and asked, "You didn't throw it away when you got angry, did you?"
Pei Zhouwu didn't answer immediately. His eyes were wandering, not knowing whether to say yes or no.
He thought about throwing away the hairpin and burning it, but then he couldn't bear to pick it up again.
Liu Fuying thought he had really lost it, so she stroked his hand and consoled him, "It's okay, I just bought it at the market anyway, so it's lost, it's not worth much."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhouwu's eyelids twitched and his expression changed.
Seeing this, Liu Fuying realized that he had said the wrong thing and smiled slightly awkwardly.
"You...didn't lose it?"
Then, she immediately made up for it.
"No, it's okay. I will carve a firefly hairpin for you in the future. I will learn how to carve gold, jade, and glass. I can also carve for you."
"No."
Pei Zhouwu sighed softly, with a comforting smile on his lips.
"No matter how precious anything is in the future, it will never be as valuable as the wooden hairpin that I have held in my hand and carried with me the memories of the past three years."
Liu Fuying pursed her lips, frowned, and looked like she was about to cry again.
"Azhou, you are really good at talking. You are so nice."
She held Pei Zhouwu's face and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
"Then, about Shen Xiunian..."
Regarding this matter, Pei Zhouwu shook his head at her, touched her head and said: "Don't worry about this matter anymore, it will be as you wish in the end."
"Are you so sure?"
Liu Fuying wanted to know more and more what he and Shen Xiunian talked about.
"It's getting late. I came back to tell you so you can rest assured. I have something else to do and I can't accompany you tonight."
He was determined not to say anything, and Liu Fuying did not force him.
"Then, go ahead."
Pei Zhouwu nodded, turned around and pulled the quilt over her, motioning for her to lie down in it. She was rarely so well-behaved and obediently lay down in the quilt.
"Go to sleep."
Pei Zhouwu's eyes were gentle. He bent down and kissed her forehead, then carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for her.
When she left, she carefully blew out the candle in the room for her.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Liu Fuying turned sideways and looked at the door in a daze.
Three months later…
Is there any way to avoid going to the capital in three months?
Pei Zhouwu, that fool, was so stupid that it made her feel sorry for him. She couldn't bear to let him wait any longer.
With her eyes closed, her mind was still full of thoughts of countermeasures, she was thinking so deeply that she didn't even realize when she fell asleep.
Pei Zhouwu walked out of the door and was about to enter the gate opposite when he suddenly saw a piece of clothing floating over the other side of the courtyard wall.
As I slowly approached, I heard a faint human voice.
"Stop pulling me, let me go."
It was a woman's voice.
"Jie Ling, listen to me, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to tell you..."
Hearing this voice, Pei Zhouwu's eyes lit up and he became curious. This was Kong Linyu's voice.
The person with him was probably Shen Jieling from the pastry shop.
"Say whatever you want, don't say anything."
"Jie Ling, I..."
"Shut up, let me go. What if someone sees us pulling and tugging?"
Chen Jieling struggled out of the alley and bumped into Pei Zhouwu. She was immediately frightened and shook off Kong Linyu's hand, turning around and running towards home.
"General."
Kong Linyu was also embarrassed to be bumped into by Pei Zhouwu. He scratched his head and his tongue was swollen.
"When did it happen?" Pei Zhouwu asked him.
"General, it was... it was the day when I opened a side room in the pastry shop for you and Madam Liu. She was the one who received guests that day. The shelf was shaking and almost fell on her. It was me... I helped her."
Pei Zhouwu raised his eyebrows, looking as if he understood.
"But General, Jie Ling and I are innocent. We didn't... didn't..."
"Why are you so nervous? I didn't say anything."
"Yes, yes."
"Let's go back home first. I need to write a letter. Please send it back to the Pei family in Shangjing in secret as soon as possible."
"Good General."
…
The next day.
Shen Xiunian got up early and went to his mother's yard, personally serving soup and feeding the old lady breakfast.
"No more eating, I'm already full."
The old lady smiled and waved her hands, like a child, refusing to finish it even though there was only one mouthful of porridge left.
"I don't know if Ayin has eaten it."
Eight out of ten sentences the old lady said were about Liu Fuying.
Shen Xiunian did not respond to this, he put down the bowl in his hand and pushed it forward, and said calmly: "Mother, I have to go on a long journey in the next few days, and I may not be back for a long time."
"Is Ayin going too?" The old lady was a little anxious.
It was not until Shen Xiunian shook his head, indicating that Liu Fuying would stay at home, that the old lady felt relieved.
"Mother, from now on..."
Shen Xiunian wanted to say something, but in the end he had to hold it in.
The old lady stood up, wiped her mouth casually and was about to go out, muttering, "I'm going to go see Ayin. I haven't seen her for a night. I miss my grandchildren too."
After crossing the threshold, she walked into the yard.
Shen Xiunian looked at her quietly, the reluctance and reluctance in his eyes made him suppress his emotions again and again.
Even if they are not biological children, they are still attached to and love their mothers since childhood, and the grace of their mothers in raising them is very heavy.
But everyone has his own sins, and he must pay for them in the end.
When he couldn't hold it back anymore, he simply stood up and walked out.
After leaving Shen's house, he went to Jiang Susu's residence again. Seeing him, Shen Huaijun was very excited.
Today, Shen Xiunian was also very patient and played with the children in the yard for a long time.
Jiang Susu was preoccupied with something, and just stood at the door, watching them silently.
It was almost noon when Shen Xiunian and Jiang Susu came in alone.
"Xiunian, the medicine Jiang Yan gave me can only temporarily suppress the poison in Huaijun's body. If there is no antidote, he won't be able to hold on for long."
"I know."
Shen Xiunian turned his back and faced the closed door.
"Then we..."
"You don't have to try to get Pei Zhouwu anymore. I will take care of the antidote myself."
