Chapter 24 Romantic Hug
"you……"
Pei Zhouwu was surprised but happy, but his joy was also mixed with fear.
The words he wanted to say were distorted by the shock, and when he opened his mouth he couldn't say anything.
"I know what you are going to say." Liu Fuying leaned forward slightly, looked down at him and said slowly and seriously, word by word: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself. I won't be stupid enough to put myself in danger. I will keep my life to repay you for saving my life."
"and……"
Liu Fuying paused and a smile appeared on his face.
"And we have an appointment. I'll come to see you on the first day of next month."
At some point, a layer of wet mist filled Pei Zhouwu's eyes, and his panicked mood softened as if being soothed, as he listened to Liu Fuying continue talking.
"I won't break my promise. I will definitely come."
The smiling face, brighter than the sun, seemed to exude a fragrance that was so refreshing that Pei Zhouwu even forgot the pain in his body.
Liu Fuying supported him again, and this time he did not resist.
But even with his deliberate cooperation, it still took a lot of effort to help him onto the bed. When he lay down, Liu Fuying's body fell down unsteadily and almost fell on the wound on his chest.
But clearly, she had supported herself with her hands and did not actually fall down.
But in just a blink of an eye, she loosened her hand and leaned down actively, one arm around his neck, the other around his shoulder. The silent hug was still filled with a strong smell of blood, but it also became romantic because of the sincerity of the person hugging.
She didn't say another word, and after the hug she stood up and turned her back.
When he squatted down to pick up the washbasin, he also picked up the incense stick that had fallen at the foot of the table while Pei Zhouwu was not paying attention.
When he turned around and put the basin back on the shelf, he lowered his head and smelled the fragrance.
What a strong incense!
She just leaned in close and smelled it, and her mind became dazed.
Moreover, it was obvious that the incense was almost burned out, which showed how much Pei Zhouwu had inhaled. He also knew what kind of situation he was in when he was dizzy and trying to protect himself and kill the other party. How did he hold on?
Turning around, Liu Fuying hid the incense under his sleeve but did not intend to take it away.
Instead, hide it somewhere deeper.
She returned to the bed, squatted down, and threw the incense under the bed.
"Wait for me, I will come back to find you."
After saying this, she walked towards the door, listened for a while to make sure there was no one outside, and then carefully opened the door.
However, she didn't know that the moment the door was closed after she left, Pei Zhouwu on the bed actually shed a tear from the corner of his eye.
His mind was filled with what Liu Fuying had just said.
"Even if everyone in this world abandons you and doesn't believe in you, I will never give up on you."
And, there was the hug that brought tears to his eyes.
When he was accused of treason, he wished that the people around him would tell him to believe it.
But in the end, nothing happened.
Neither his father nor his mother came to see him, and they even avoided suspicion by not coming to see him once.
Of course, he understood the principle of sacrificing the pawn to save the king. The queen and the prince were the hope of the family. If sacrificing him could save them, he would be willing to do so and he did not complain.
only……
Even if it's just a word of care and trust...
A bitter smile spread from the corners of his lips, countless figures flashed through his mind, and in the end only a bright smiling face remained.
"Su Yueying."
"Su Yueying..."
He whispered her name several times.
The pain in his body had become numb, and his mind had also become numb. He could no longer bear the heaviness of his eyelids, and everything around him became blurry. Only Liu Fuying's face in his mind was exceptionally clear, and it was becoming clearer and clearer.
"Su... Yueying."
Liu Fuying, who had just come out of the water, seemed to have sensed something and floated to the surface and looked back.
She was very worried and just hoped that Pei Zhouwu could hold on.
Otherwise, she will have to choose a man again.
Shen Xiunian is now in good health, and he will have to return to the battlefield sooner or later. If she gets pregnant after he leaves, she will definitely be criticized for being a bastard.
However, if Pei Zhouwu could survive this disaster, he would surely begin to truly open his heart to her.
In that case, the matter of having a child won't be far away.
"Ma'am, be careful. I'll pull you up."
Jin Li was behind her on the shore, carefully pulling her up.
But Liu Fuying was soaked at this time, and it was not a good time to go back.
Fortunately, this forest is deserted and no one will see me taking off my clothes. I spread them on the stone beach and expose them to the sun, so they will dry in a short time.
Anyway, it takes time to burn incense in the temple.
After drying himself completely, he went back to the carriage. The driver was taking a nap. When he saw people coming back, he quickly opened the curtain and let them get on. He didn't dare to look at the two single women for too long. Their faces were covered with handkerchiefs and long sleeves. The driver probably hadn't even taken a close look at what they looked like up to this point.
After descending the mountain and entering the city, Jin Li ordered the coachman to park the carriage outside the inn in the city.
Liu Fuying did not return to the Shen family, nor did he plan to return to the Liu family.
When we were looking for a hotel to book a room, we heard people whispering in the hall.
"The Liu family really doesn't know how to curry favor with a mere fifth-rank official. Their daughter married into the general's mansion, so they should have treated her with respect. But in the end, their daughter finally came back and not only didn't get a cup of hot tea, but they didn't even have a place to sit. Such neglect is hard to change their hearts."
"Yes, I heard that the general's wife left home not long after she returned."
"Alas, she has to endure the bullying at her husband's house, and she also has to endure the bullying at her parents' house. I heard that she went back to her parents' house today because she had a quarrel with General Shen about the issue of offspring."
"What's there to argue about? If my wife had to pray to the gods and burn incense every few days in order to give me a child, I would be grateful to her."
"Who says it's not true? The general's wife is living a miserable life."
“…”
The general's wife they were referring to was naturally Liu Fuying.
The rumor had already spread, but when the real person came before them, they didn't recognize him.
The rumor was spread by Liu Fuying when Jin Li was about to go out.
Just because she was going out of town, and she disappeared when she returned to the Liu family, the Liu family had to go look for her. They went to the Shen family but couldn't find her. What if the matter got out of hand and everyone paid attention to her whereabouts? Who knows how ugly the rumors would be, and there was no guarantee that she would not be discovered to have left the city.
It would be better for her to spread the rumor herself first.
This is how Shangjing City is. Rumors can crush people more than facts.
Restaurants and inns are places where rumors are most easily spread, and there is a big restaurant next to the inn.
At noon, Jin Li returned to her room in the inn carrying a food box.
"Ma'am, I have done everything you said. I think the news will spread soon."
"Okay." Liu Fuying pulled Jin Li to sit down and let her catch her breath.
"Madam, can this really save Uncle Pei?"
