Chapter 66: Hot Spring Bathing Together
As soon as she got out of the door, Shen Xiyun pursed her lips and started shedding tears.
She sobbed with each breath she took. She was not big, but her tears flowed like a stream, looking so pitiful.
"Little Master, don't cry."
Zhang Ke squatted in front of him and wiped his tears anxiously.
"Your father is in a bad mood because he is injured and in great pain. You must not be sad."
Chen Xiyun sobbed and cried even harder.
"Ah Yun." A familiar voice sounded outside the yard.
Chen Xiyun looked over with tearful eyes and vaguely saw Liu Fuying's figure. She immediately curled her lips and released even more forcefully.
"Mother... wuuuu... mother!"
He threw himself into Liu Fuying's arms, hugged her neck tightly and cried so sadly.
"What happened? Who bullied you?"
As soon as he asked the question, Liu Fuying immediately felt it was redundant. What else could it be?
Shen Xiunian has a bad temper.
That coward took out his anger on the child as soon as he came back. Although he was so unwilling to accept the result, he didn't dare to go to Pei Zhouwu to settle the score.
Liu Fuying squatted on the ground, her heart broken by the crying of the person in her arms.
Normally it was fine. In fact, in terms of appearance, Mimi and Pei Zhouwu were more alike. But whenever Ah Yun cried, she would immediately think of Pei Zhouwu. Ah Yun's tearful expression was completely inherited from Pei Zhouwu.
Two children, one looks alike, the other has a similar personality.
A'Yun's temperament is also calm and patient, just like Pei Zhouwu, gentle and kind.
It was really hard to conceive this pair of twins, a boy and a girl, but it was totally worth it.
As soon as the two children were born, her worries were immediately resolved.
God really loves her.
Also, thank you Pei Zhouwu.
"Don't cry, go back with mother. My sister is tired from playing at Aunt Jie Ling's house and is sleeping in the yard now. Can you go back and wake her up? It's time for us to have lunch."
"Um...Okay."
Liu Fuying got up with the child in her arms. She was too lazy to step into Chen Xiunian's room again, so she turned around and left.
"Mother, does father dislike me?"
"He..." Liu Fuying choked.
Of course, Shen Xiunian didn't like the children, but she couldn't teach the children to hate their father. In name, Shen Xiunian was the children's father, and he played that role whether he was willing or not.
How painful it is to be hated by your own father. Liu Fuying has experienced it herself.
She really didn't want her children to experience such pain again.
Thinking of this, she glanced sideways at the courtyard where Shen Xiu Nian was staying in Yu Guangli.
He returned from a victorious battle in high spirits, and his temper was tougher than before, but did he think he was the only one who lost his temper?
He had to swallow all the fruits he had sown himself, even if he wanted to vomit.
"Your father must be tired on the road, let him rest, he will be fine in two days." She assured Shen Xiyun.
Chen Xiyun wiped her tears obediently, then suddenly remembered something and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Liu Fuying noticed that something was wrong with him.
He rubbed his eyes, wiped away his tears and said, "Mom, there is a daddy and a sister who look alike at the door."
"What?" Liu Fuying was shocked.
"I called him daddy, and he said he wasn't."
"You're calling someone daddy randomly, that's not right."
"But... he... he looks like a great general when he's riding on a horse. The girl next door named Yujiao also looks like her father. That general and his sister really look alike, mother."
Shen Xiyun's words were incoherent, and at his age, his articulation was not clear enough for him to express himself so accurately.
Liu Fuying also understood.
What this means is that today Shen Xiyun ran into a man dressed as a general at the door, and he looked like his sister, so he thought that man was his sister's father, and therefore his father.
"Really, this Yuquan City is really magical."
Liu Fuying muttered to himself, having Shen Yiliang is not enough, and here comes another one who looks more like Pei Zhouwu?
She even suspected that Pei Zhouwu's father had an illegitimate child hidden outside. One might be a coincidence, but the other might not be a surprise.
"What is mother talking about?"
"Nothing, mother will take you and your sister to the mountain to take a hot spring bath, okay?"
"Okay, I like taking a hot spring bath, thank you mother."
Chen Xiyun kissed Liu Fuying on the cheek. Liu Fuying grinned and forgot about the fact that Chen Xiyun called the wrong person "Daddy" at the door.
When Chen Xiunian came in earlier, he seriously warned his subordinates not to spread the news that Pei Zhouwu sent him back, not even to his family members, so naturally the news never reached Liu Fuying's ears.
After lunch, while Old Madam Shen was asking Shen Xiunian about his well-being, Liu Fuying took the two children out.
The destination is the hot spring inn on the back mountain of Yuquan City.
She did not inform the old lady or Chen Xiunian about going up the mountain, and even planned to stay there for a few more days.
Since Chen Xiunian didn't let her have an easy life, she would naturally retaliate.
He never learns his lesson, and Liu Fuying is very annoyed by it.

Inside the Qingyou Pavilion in the south of the city.
Pei Zhouwu was just coming out of the room after taking a medicinal bath. Kong Linyu walked towards him and said to him, "General, the boiled medicine has been cooled down. Go drink it now."
"Um."
"Also, I have heard that the mountain behind Yuquan City is a well-known hot spring mountain. There is also an elegant inn on the mountain. General, do you want to go and soak in the hot springs? The doctor also said that soaking in hot springs can invigorate blood circulation and dispel cold, which is good for your injury. I also know that you are eager to return home, so why not go to the mountain to recuperate? The air in the mountains is better and more suitable for healing."
Pei Zhouwu paused, raised his hand, patted Kong Linyu on the shoulder and said something.
"You arrange it. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. This is what I should do. I will make arrangements and go up the mountain today."
Kong Linyu ran away with a silly smile, leaving Pei Zhouwu thoughtful and slowing down his pace.
After the victory, an imperial decree was passed down from the imperial court in Beijing, telling him and Shen Xiunian not to rush back to Beijing to report. Firstly, both of them were seriously injured and needed time to recuperate, and secondly, they were worried that the enemy troops of the Western Jin Dynasty would not give up and would return to attack again.
The imperial edict stated that the date of return would be three months later.
But the war had been settled and the Western Jin Dynasty had been severely damaged, so it would not cause any trouble for at least a few years.
He couldn't wait three months, so he planned to go back quickly to find Su Yueying in person.
When he felt a little better, he would write back and ask the emperor to allow him to return home earlier.
Therefore, he did not refuse Kong Linyu's suggestion of taking a hot spring bath to heal his injuries.
Get well soon so you can go back sooner.
He didn't bring much luggage with him when he came to Yuquan City, so he didn't need to spend too much time preparing. With Kong Linyu's arrangement, he reached the mountain before sunset.
The inn on the mountain was indeed elegant and quiet. Kong Linyu carefully selected the quietest guest room for Pei Zhouwu.
After resting for a while after dinner, Pei Zhouwu went out lightly to take a hot spring bath.
Kong Linyu was worried that others would make medicine for Pei Zhouwu himself, so he said that there were waiters waiting at the hot spring in the back mountain, and they would take Pei Zhouwu to the hot spring.
But when we entered the forest behind the mountain, we could not find any waiter wearing inn clothes.
Pei Zhouwu searched alone for a long time and finally saw a hot spring with steam rising from it.
I walked down the stone path, but suddenly stopped halfway down.
There were people in the hot spring below, and they were two women.
One person was sitting in the hot spring with his shoulders bare and his back turned, while another one was waiting sideways by the spring. It was Jin Li next to Liu Fuying.
