Chapter 31 Caught in Bed
Liu Fuying brought a small bamboo stool and sat down in front of the bed.
She held her chin with one hand, staring at Pei Zhouwu's handsome face without blinking.
As he watched, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up again.
His breathing was very shallow. If you didn't look closely, you would think he was fast asleep and had not even breathed.
She pulled a stool closer and stretched out her fingers to trace his contours along the tip and bridge of his nose, extending to his brow bone, forehead, and profile. After carefully drawing a circle, she finally landed on his lips.
In the past, she didn't know that she was such a pervert.
But Pei Zhouwu is really too charming.
What a pity! Pei Zhouwu was seriously injured and unconscious, unable to do anything, and such a precious night of solitude was wasted.
He withdrew his hand and moved his eyes downward, to the thick iron chain hanging around his waist and abdomen.
I had never looked at it carefully before, but when I looked closely today, I found that the iron chain was rusted in many places. Inexplicably, Liu Fuying recalled what Pei's mother had said to Pei Zhouwu in this room earlier.
Pei's mother asked him to be patient and not to vent his grievances even if he felt extremely wronged.
Thinking of this, Liu Fuying suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
I feel sorry for Pei Zhouwu.
If Pei Zhouwu had kept silent and allowed himself to be bullied last night, he would probably have died by now.
And you still blame him for not being patient enough. He has already been patient to the extreme for the Pei family.
Realizing that she was feeling sorry for Pei Zhouwu, Liu Fuying quickly shook her head to get rid of unnecessary thoughts. What was her purpose in pestering Pei Zhouwu? Wasn't it to borrow his sperm to have a child? It would be better to pity herself more than to pity the man.
It's not like she will really be with him forever.
The more pitiful Pei Zhouwu is, the better it is for her, isn't it?
He retracted his fingers and tapped lightly on the bamboo bed, and lazily uttered a few words that only he could hear.
"I'm not a good person."
At this time, Pei Zhouwu had indeed fallen into a deep sleep. When Liu Fuying went out to wash the gauze, he was already unconscious.

Chen Xiunian rode his horse towards Xiangshan without stopping and had already arrived at Changming Temple.
He did not ask the Taoist priest to tell Liu Fuying to come out, but prepared to go in himself.
But he himself did not realize how wrong his behavior of wanting to catch someone cheating in bed was. He was not here to catch someone cheating in bed, and he had allowed Liu Fuying to have a secret meeting with someone outside. So, no matter who the adulterer was, he just needed to tell someone to let Liu Fuying come out. He came to find Liu Fuying for his mother.
At the moment, he himself didn't realize it.
He actually wanted to go and see what the adulterer looked like. He didn't know if it was because of Liu Fuying's words "I don't like you" in the morning that stimulated him.
"It turns out that he is Mrs. Liu Shanren's husband. Mrs. Liu Shanren is a kind person, and her husband is also a filial son."
Shen Xiunian used the excuse that his mother was seriously ill and lied that the jade pendant blessed by a Taoist priest was left in the temple by Liu Fuying. His mother cried and made a fuss to get the jade pendant back, so he hurriedly made this trip.
"Mr. Liu came down the mountain before sunset the day before yesterday. He might have left the jade pendant in a hurry. Don't worry. I will take you to the yard where Mr. Liu rested to look for it."
The Taoist priest led the way in front, with a calm look and a smile on his face.
Chen Xiunian knew that the Taoist priests in the temple must not know that Liu Fuying was having a secret meeting with someone in the backyard. If they were discovered doing that under the noses of the immortals, what would be the end of them?
If this gets out, the reputation of the General's Mansion will be ruined.
So, when they were almost at the residence, Shen Xiunian planned to dismiss the Taoist priest and go in alone.
"But there are several rooms in the yard. They were all bought by Ms. Liu Jingxin. No one will go in when she is not here. It is dark inside. You may not be able to find the light. I will go in with you and help you look for it."
Chen Xiunian stopped and heard what the Taoist priest meant, saying that Liu Fuying was not here?
Can……
Could it be that she sneaked in to meet her adulterer, and the Taoist priests in the temple didn't know she was there?
How can this be possible!
Shen Xiunian didn't dare to think about what would happen after being discovered by the Taoist priest.
No matter what, he was still willing to believe that Liu Fuying was having a secret meeting with her adulterer in there.
"No need for that. I have a fire starter with me and I don't dare to bother you. It's so late at night. I feel uneasy and I'm afraid the gods will blame me. I can go in by myself."
Since he said so, the Taoist priest had no choice but to give up. He pointed the door for him and turned around.
Shen Xiunian walked quickly, but stopped suddenly when he stood in front of the door.
If we go in now, there might be some extremely terrible scenes inside. Is it really possible?
Wouldn't he, as a husband, feel embarrassed when he sees Liu Fuying and the adulterer in disheveled clothes?
He just felt his mind was in a mess, and he recalled what happened in the bathroom in the morning. At that time, Liu Fuying was not fully dressed yet, and was almost thrown to the ground by him in anger.
At that time, he said a lot of unpleasant things.
When he drove the person away, he realized that he had wronged her, and as a result, his mother became seriously ill and suffered.
It's obviously not her fault!
According to the agreement before marriage, the Shen family property was handed over to her, and she would take care of his mother in her old age.
But if his second uncle's family really seizes the family business on the grounds of having an heir, then the agreement between him and Liu Fuying will be in vain, and he will have to go back to the battlefield soon. What will his mother do then?
He would never touch Liu Fuying, so the so-called adultery was clearly something he condoned personally.
Now, why should he make such a fuss?
What did Liu Fuying do wrong?
After calming down, he took two steps back hesitantly and gave up the rash idea he had when he came here.
After thinking about it, he just raised his head and slowly knocked on the door.
Jin Li is with Liu Fuying. She is having an affair with her lover. Jin Li will definitely keep watch for her in the yard. As long as she hears any noise, she will be the first to report it.
He waited for a while, giving Liu Fuying and her adulterer time to clean up.
Not long after, he knocked on the gate again.
Wait a little longer, and it will be another while.
Chen Xiunian gradually realized that something was wrong. Logically speaking, in order to calm the person knocking on the door, Jin Li should at least respond to prevent the person outside from breaking in directly.
But it has been so long and there is still no response from inside.
He put his ear close to the gate and listened for a while, but there was complete silence inside, no sound at all.
The doubts in his heart grew stronger, and he stopped waiting.
When I pushed the door open, it was dark inside as the Taoist priest had said.
Is it possible... that he is really not here?
Or had they already slipped away when he knocked just now?
He strode over the threshold, lit a fire and checked every room one by one, especially the one with the bed, which he looked at especially carefully. The bed was tidy and the quilt was neatly folded, and it didn't look like anyone had slept in it.
He reached out his hand and touched the bed, but it was also cold.
The house also had a faint musty smell because no one had been there for a long time, and it didn't seem like there was any life in it.
"Ha." He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
