Chapter 112: Raising Many Little Lovers
"Perhaps I just realized that you are so important to me."
Tears welled up in Liu Fuying's eyes again.
"I didn't have time to think about that. When I saw the knife, I only had one thought in my mind, which was not to let you get hurt. When I thought about you getting hurt, I was so scared that I didn't have time to think about anything else. I rushed over on the spot."
She grabbed Pei Zhouwu's clothes and tried hard to suppress her sobs.
"So you see, I really love you in my heart."
There was a hint of coquettishness in the ending of her voice, as if she was waiting for him to praise her, and at the same time it was mixed with a thick nasal tone, which sounded endearing.
Pei Zhouwu lowered his head and looked at her, with worry still in his eyes.
"Azhou, don't be angry."
In fact, Pei Zhouwu was not angry at all. Even if she was angry, she was only angry at himself for almost causing trouble for her, Liu Fuying.
"I will never do this again. If something like this happens again, I will save my own life first. No matter how dangerous or deadly it is, I will run away first. Will you be more satisfied if I do this?"
Pei Zhouwu was suddenly amused.
"Yes!" He gritted his teeth and poked her forehead again, "It's best not to encounter any danger again. As long as you are fine, I don't mind dying."
At this moment, it was Liu Fuying's turn to have a stern face and remain silent.
After suppressing her emotions for a long time, she spoke again.
"Yes, it's just right that you died. This way I don't have to be responsible for you. I will be a free person from now on. I can have many little lovers to play with me. Just think about how that would feel. It must be wonderful."
Pei Zhouwu's expression changed immediately.
He frowned and pinched Liu Fuying's chin, "Really?"
"Seriously, of course I take it seriously." She waved his hand away and turned her face away angrily.
Pei Zhouwu's face turned pale. Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, she thought about how he didn't even have a formal status yet, and she was already thinking about keeping a little lover, even though she had just kept saying she loved him.
"you……"
Just as he was about to say something, Liu Fuying came just in time to coax him, turning around and hugging his neck.
"Then don't talk about life and death anymore. No one will die. We all need to live well."
"Of course." Pei Zhouwu's words were sonorous and powerful.
"Of course I have to live well. I want to see how you are going to go out and support your lover."
Liu Fuying laughed, and a hint of cuteness appeared on her face.
"But I think there is no better lover than you in this world. You are always by my side, seducing me and making me crazy. How can I have the energy to keep another lover?"
Pei Zhouwu held her waist, asked her to sit up straighter, and reminded her that this was not the time to be frivolous.
After his reminder, Liu Fuying came back to his senses.
Come to think of it, what happened just now still made her feel quite strange.
When she blocked Pei Zhouwu's way, she clearly felt something pressing heavily against her lower back. How come she was not hurt in the end?
After returning home, Pei Zhouwu still invited a doctor for Liu Fuying.
He went to look for Shen Yiliang himself.
Kong Linyu and his men locked Shen Yilian in a small room in the backyard. When Pei Zhouwu entered, he was slumped on the ground with a deathly look on his face. He did not even look up when someone came in.
Pei Zhouwu stopped in front of him, holding the knife that Shen Yiliang was going to use to commit the crime.
The blade looks sharp, but it actually retracts into the handle with a slight press.
It was clearly a fake knife and couldn't hurt anyone at all.
He threw the knife in front of Shen Yiliang, and then said in a solemn tone: "I have asked someone to rescue your little nephew."
Hearing this, Shen Yiliang looked up suddenly.
Looking at this face that looked like his, Pei Zhouwu couldn't tell how he felt.
"I started to have doubts the first time I saw you. Although there are people in this world who look alike but are not related by blood, I still kept my eyes peeled. Especially after seeing my two children who are related by blood, I became even more suspicious of whether there is a special relationship between you and me."
Shen Yiliang's eyes were moist, and he did not object to Pei Zhouwu's words.
"I found out that you are not the biological son of the Shen family. You were brought into the Shen family when you were about four or five years old. At the same time, I remembered an old incident more than ten years ago. My father's younger brother, my second uncle, was exiled to Yunan for colluding with the rebel king and died of illness on the way."
When Shen Yiliang heard this, he pursed his lips tightly as if he could no longer endure it.
"My second uncle was exiled with his family, and his little son was also exiled with him."
Since Pei Zhouwu said this, it means that he has confirmed that the youngest son is Shen Yiliang.
This Shen Yiliang is also his cousin.
"Yes." At this point, Shen Yiliang had no way to refute, "Father said that the eldest uncle refused to rescue us for the sake of the Pei family's prosperity and wealth, and instead distanced himself from us. Otherwise, we would not have ended up in exile."
He suddenly raised his eyebrows, but couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"Believe it or not, I have never thought of taking revenge on the Pei family or you."
He said that he didn't care whether Pei Zhouwu believed it or not, but his eyes, which were fixed on Pei Zhouwu, revealed his inner expectations, indicating that he wanted Pei Zhouwu to believe it.
"At that time, I was still young and didn't understand anything. I did hate it for a while, until my parents risked their lives to send me out and I was adopted by the Shen family. Shen's father, Shen's mother and my sister were all very good people. They treated me like their own child, taught me how to read and write, and taught me how to behave in society. They told me not to seek to be upright but to be honest and kind."
His tears flowed as he spoke.
"So many years have passed, I have long since let go of what happened back then. I know what a sin it is to collude with the Rebel King. Being exiled to Xudu is the result of my uncle's dedicated protection. Otherwise, my family would have died along with the Rebel King."
As for today's incident, Pei Zhouwu had already investigated it clearly.
Prime Minister Jiang was unwilling to fall from power and vowed to fight to the death. However, he still had some loyal men who were willing to avenge him.
However, both the Shen and Pei families were guarded by guards and were difficult to approach.
That's when he approached Shen Yilian and threatened him with his nephew's life to carry out the assassination.
It is possible that Jiang Yan has known about Shen Yilian's existence for a long time and has been eyeing him for a long time, waiting to use this chess piece someday.
“Today…” Shen Yiliang spoke again.
His nephew was kidnapped, and his sister doesn't know the truth yet. He just lied to his sister and said that the child went to the house of a friend he knew well.
"I never thought of taking revenge on you. My only selfish motive today is that I'm jealous of you being with Sister Fu Ying."
As he said this, he lowered his head again, not daring to face him.
"But you couldn't bring yourself to do it in the end, so you had to use this fake blade. You didn't want to hurt anyone, but you couldn't ignore your nephew's life. You might as well choose to sacrifice yourself."
He was thinking that he could be shot dead on the spot while committing the crime today, so that he could have the best of both worlds.
But he didn't expect that Pei Zhouwu had already figured out everything.
No wonder Pei Zhouwu said nothing and took no action at the cemetery.
"Get up."
Pei Zhouwu extended his hand to him.
