Chapter 39 Please Let Me Stay
Such a strong bloody aura must not be an ordinary minor wound.
Pei Zhouwu raised his gaze to her face, looked at her seriously and said, "Last time I didn't ask you how you got the injury on your palm, so what's going on with your arm now?"
After saying that, he took her other hand.
The wound on the palm of my hand left by the reins last time has almost healed.
Pei Zhouwu looked carefully for a long time, but Liu Fuying didn't speak for a long time.
"Can't you tell me?" He looked into Liu Fuying's eyes, waiting for her to comfort him.
He also noticed that she was carrying a bulging bag on her back, which he saw when she just came out of the water.
Now her eyes were evasive and her hesitation aroused his doubts even more.
"Miss Su!"
Last time I had clearly changed my name to Yueying, but now it’s Miss Su again.
From his deliberately emphasized tone, it was clear that he called her "Miss Su" on purpose, meaning that if she didn't tell the truth, she would only be the distant "Miss Su" to him from now on.
"I said, don't be angry."
Liu Fuying acted as if she was afraid of being alienated from him, and her panicked expression was filled with pleading, begging him not to be estranged from her.
"Isn't old Concubine Qi sick?"
She lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"I heard from people that there is an ancient method in Xiqing that uses human blood as medicine to produce miraculous effects, so... so..."
"So you also used blood as medicine to treat the old concubine?"
Liu Fuying lowered his head and nodded in reply.
"Let's not talk about whether this is really effective, Concubine Qi..."
"I know." Liu Fuying took a step back and looked up at her timidly, as if afraid of seeing contempt on his face. "I did that not only for the old concubine, but also for myself."
Nowadays, she tells lies fluently, and her words and actions sound more real than the real thing.
Sometimes, she even believed it herself.
What's more, she also hoped that what she said was true!
"My uncle is not a fool. There must be some doubts in this matter. For example, why did the old concubine offend her own son repeatedly for a maid like me? It is not worth it for her. The concubine is a kind person, but she also loves her son. Her son just wants to take a concubine. Why doesn't she help her son, but instead help an insignificant maid?"
If you think about it carefully, there are indeed many things that don't make sense here.
If Pei Zhouwu carefully examined it, he would definitely find many flaws.
Maybe he had suspected it a long time ago, but he was a good person and would rather believe that she had her own reasons. He was afraid of embarrassing her so he never asked.
Today is the final step for Liu Fuying to dispel his doubts.
"In fact, there was an old incident many years ago. For the sake of her reputation, the concubine never mentioned it to outsiders."
Pei Zhou frowned and waited for her to continue.
"At that time, halfway from Xiangshan to Changming Temple, a mountain collapsed due to months of heavy rain. The carriage could not pass through and had to go up the mountain from another place. The concubine was a person who valued morality, and she took a detour to go to burn incense. However, the mud was slippery and she fell from the mountain and injured her leg. My father found her and took her back home to treat her injury. It was... just like you saved me that day."
Listening, Pei Zhouwu's thoughts drifted away.
He vaguely remembered that something like this really happened many years ago, and the collapse of the Xiangshan road seemed to have crushed people to death.
"My father is a hunter in the mountains. My mother died early. I am the only one who depends on my father. My father is a bachelor living in the mountains with the imperial concubine... Just like you secretly sent me out from the water for my reputation that day, the imperial concubine was afraid of gossip in the capital so she didn't tell anyone about it."
Hunter.
Pei Zhouwu listened quietly and nodded slowly.
That makes sense.
Her father was a hunter, so it was no surprise that she knew how to trap rabbits.
"Later, my father died in an accident in the mountains. Then, as I told you before, my uncle and aunt were about to sell me to a brothel for money when they ran into the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine recognized me and brought me back to the palace. Later, she protected me everywhere because of my father's life-saving grace."
After hearing this, Pei Zhouwu felt relieved as his doubts were dispelled.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the heartache for her in his eyes from beginning to end.
Seeing that look, Liu Fuying suddenly envied Su Yueying in his own story.
If it was Su Yueying, maybe she could really stay and accompany Pei Zhouwu.
As she was overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't help but feel a tear in her eye.
"Come to think of it, Xiangshan is really my blessed land." She smiled suddenly, diverting her unnecessary sentimental thoughts, "Once I met the Concubine, and once I met you. You both appeared in my life and saved me."
What is she lamenting about?
Her goal from the beginning to the end was just to have a child with Pei Zhouwu.
By the way, experience the fun of those men and feel the fun of keeping a gigolo outside.
Now the fun is about to reach its most interesting moment.
No matter how hard she tried to conceal it, Pei Zhouwu still caught the fleeting tears.
But he thought that she was feeling bad about her past experiences.
So, he reached out his hand with even more heartache and gently stroked her cheek to comfort her.
"Hina."
His call of "Aying" made Liu Fuying's heart beat faster.
That's what her mother used to call her.
"You have suffered so much." Pei Zhouwu said softly.
Liu Fuying shook her head, smiled and said nice things, "If the ending is meeting you, then all the hardships in the past will be worth it."
Pei Zhouwu withdrew her hand and smiled gently, her eyes falling on the injured part of her left hand again.
"I used my blood as medicine to save the Concubine Dowager, and prayed that she would let me go after she recovered. The Concubine Dowager was deeply moved and agreed to let me go in order to repay my father for saving her life, so..."
She put down her bag and held it tightly in her hands.
"So, I'm here today to ask you to take me in."
After listening to her, Pei Zhouwu finally understood what she had been hesitant to say when she left last time. She said that maybe there would be a result when she came next time, and this turned out to be the result.
"Will you let me stay?"
Liu Fuying took two steps forward, grabbed his sleeve and shook it gently.
"This way I can always be with you."
Pei Zhouwu's face did not look very happy, but sadness was evident in his eyes.
"Aying, take a closer look here. This is a place of imprisonment, not a paradise on earth."
How could he not want her to be by his side, but at the same time he felt very conflicted. This place was not a place of comfort. If he stayed here he would suffer endless hardships and depression. He was also afraid that she would regret it one day.
"No, this is obviously the best place in the world because you are here. As long as you are here, I would love hell."
As long as you have your loved one, even if you are in hell, your heart will be sweet.
Pei Zhouwu showed no signs of illness on the surface, but his heart was beating violently under his clothes as if it was about to burst out of his body.
"Please, promise me, okay?"
