Bao Ning was startled by his eyes and asked stutteringly: "What class?"

"Don't you like children?" Pei Yuan smiled at her lewdly. He stood up from leaning against the wall, knelt on one knee, pushed Bao Ning to the corner of the wall, tilted his neck and undressed.

The candlelight was blocked by him, Bao Ning slightly tilted his head and sat in Pei Yuan's shadow.

He quickly took off all his clothes, threw his underwear on the ground, revealing his strong upper body. His chest muscles were bulging and shiny, his abdomen was neatly shaped, his waistline slid down smoothly, and the scenery below was hidden in the waist of his pants. Pei Yuan had many scars on his body, but in this scene, it didn't seem that his good intentions were destroyed, but even more fierce.

It's not like she hasn't seen it before, but today, perhaps because the atmosphere was too ambiguous, Bao Ning was frightened by him and was a little stunned.

Pei Yuan stared at her increasingly pink neck, with a smile on his lips. He put his hand on the belt and slowly untied it. He untied it halfway and stopped moving. He grabbed Bao Ning's hand and put it on it: "You do it."

Bao Ning's fingers were trembling, and she quickly pulled back: "I can't do it!"

"Why can't you do it?" Pei Yuan said, "Didn't you tie it for me this morning?"

He pinched her wrist without saying anything, and this time he didn't put it on the belt, but maliciously put it a little lower, and the touch made Bao Ning shiver.

Pei Yuan asked, "What does it feel like?"

"I don't know." Bao Ning was so ashamed and angry that her face was red as blood. "I don't know!"

"You touched it before, have you forgotten?" Pei Yuan held her hand, not letting her break free, and pressed it firmly on that place. Bao Ning found that the touch in her palm slowly changed, becoming hard and hot.

Pei Yuan coaxed her in a low voice: "Big insects will spit out water, white water, sticky, in your palm, very hot, and a little fishy."

Pei Yuan controlled her hand and rubbed it slowly. Bao Ning noticed that his eyes changed and his breath became heavier.

Pei Yuan leaned over and pressed on her, whispered in her ear: "Do you want to try it?"

Bao Ning was about to cry. She wondered how Pei Yuan could be so rude. He couldn't be more serious and talk properly.

Pei Yuan bit her earlobe and laughed softly, "What are you afraid of? There will be more intimate contact in the future, when you grow up and won't get hurt."

He pointed his finger at Bao Ning's belly, "It will be buried here, it's very comfortable."

His tone was like a bad guy. Bao Ning curled up in Pei Yuan's arms, and finally couldn't help crying.

Pei Yuan didn't intend to let her go. He drew circles on her belly with his big hand and asked her: "Ningning, do you think that after you ate the big bug, it would bulge here," he rubbed Baoning's belly button, "would it bulge out in some shape? Well, for example, it would be enlarged."

Baoning pushed his hand away and turned to crawl out: "I don't know, I don't want to talk to you..."

Pei Yuan pulled her back by the ankle, pinched her chin, and asked with a smile: "Don't you want a child? You have to understand how to give birth first."

Baoning shook her head repeatedly: "I don't want it, I don't want it."

"That's not up to you." Pei Yuan bit her cheek lightly, sucked hard, and reached behind her to untie the laces, "Good Ningning, you see I'm going to be miserable, I can't eat the meat, at least let me drink some soup, let me touch it..."

Poor Baoning was bullied in the corner, biting her lips tightly, and soon, mist appeared in her eyes.

...

Baoning regretted it very much, she shouldn't have made delicious food for him and let him eat so much. This man was as energetic as a wild animal, hugging her from the couch to the table, from the table to the dressing table, and finally onto the bed.

When she woke up the next morning, she saw that her two pieces of flesh were still red.

When she touched her lips, they were also swollen.

Pei Yuan was satisfied, his eyes were brighter than usual, and he pecked her lips with heartache: "It's my fault, I was too heavy-handed, I just didn't think you were so delicate, next time I'll be gentler, just suck, not bite."

Bao Ning didn't believe his nonsense, and kicked him away. She lay on her side against the wall, closed her eyes in anger, and didn't want to say a word to him.

Pei Yuan touched his nose, got up consciously, prepared water for her to wash her face, and went to the small kitchen to make breakfast for her, showing his courtesy.

Aunt Liu had already started cooking, it was the dish Bao Ning ordered last night, very simple, porridge with dried vegetables and Chinese toon leaves.

Pick the stems of the toon leaves I picked yesterday, wash them, blanch them in hot water, take them out, squeeze out the water, chop them, mix them with some salt, and stir them into the cooked porridge. It is refreshing and delicious.

Make an omelette with more scallions and a small dish of minced garlic eggplant, and that's enough.

Pei Yuan couldn't help, and Bao Ning didn't like what he made, so he could only wait on the side.

The small yard is full of vitality in the morning, and cicadas start chirping as soon as the sun comes out. Pei Yuan sat on the doorstep with his knees apart, staring at the tree not far away. After a while, he asked Madam Liu, "It will be the dog days in a few days. Find a few people to catch all the cicadas and fry them. Will Madam like to eat them?"

Madam Liu's hands trembled and she hesitated, "She won't like to eat them, will she? That thing is scary."

Pei Yuan said "hmm", "It's scary, but it's crispy and tastes good. I'll make it myself some other day and let her try it."

Madam Liu looked at him strangely and felt that Pei Yuan now was different from the ones she had met before. In her impression, the fourth prince had a strong personality, was always gloomy, rarely smiled, and was not easy to mess with. They have been together for two or three months, and Pei Yuan has spoken no more than five sentences to her, either asking her to serve tea or pour water.

But his tone just now, although not gentle, was at least mild.

The content of the conversation was even milder, just like an ordinary man who saw something delicious on the street, bought an extra portion, and brought it home for his wife to taste.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "The young lady will definitely be very happy."

Pei Yuan nodded and said no more.

Ah Huang woke up and went out to play. He tilted his head and saw Pei Yuan, and ran over. He flicked his finger to tease it, and after a while, Ah Mian also ran over, holding a rose planted by Baoning under the window in his mouth.

Pei Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he quickly patted its forehead: "Quick, quick, go back, why do you have nothing to do but chew her flowers? When she wakes up, she will blame me and say that I ordered her to do it?"

Ah Mian cried, chewed the flowers, and ate them.

Pei Yuan laughed and pointed at its nose: "You have guts."

Nanny Liu looked at him strangely again, with the corners of her lips curved, thinking to herself that the Fourth Prince seemed unkind, but in private he was quite good at coaxing people and was interesting to talk to.

When she took the meal back, Bao Ning had already stood up and sat in front of the dressing table to comb her hair. When she saw Pei Yuan coming in, she quickly tightened her clothes and looked at him warily.

Pei Yuan said, "Don't worry, I won't mess with you. Come and eat."

Bao Ning glared at him and walked over doubtfully.

Pei Yuan put out the dishes in the lunch box one by one, put down the chopsticks, and worked hard like an old mother, except for feeding her. Bao Ning felt comfortable being served, her attitude gradually softened, and a smile appeared on her face.

Pei Yuan saw her smile, and his courage grew: "Ning Ning, you still need to improve yourself. What's there to be ashamed of about what happened last night? You still need to learn more and put in some effort. I will go to the capital the day after tomorrow and look for some picture books at the stalls. That kind of picture books, you know what I mean, right?"

Bao Ning's smile gradually faded.

Pei Yuan drank the porridge in a daze and continued, "You can take a look at it if you have nothing to do. There are many ways to do it. Let's discuss it slowly... Hey, why did you kick me?" "

Don't eat anymore, get out, get out!" Bao Ning snatched the bowl from his hand, pushed Pei Yuan's shoulder and pushed him away, and said with wide eyes, "Don't come back."

"I..." Pei Yuan was about to say something, but Bao Ning took a step back and closed the door. With a bang, the door almost hit his nose.

Pei Yuan didn't care. Anyway, he was full and in a good mood. He straightened his clothes and walked slowly towards the study.

...

After eating, Bao Ning fed the things she raised step by step.

Ah Huang ate meat porridge, but Jixiang was not satisfied with the meat porridge, so he wanted to eat big bones. Ah Huang couldn't chew big bones, so he could only drink porridge. Mian eats grass mixed with a handful of salt, because sheep like salt. There are also leeches, which need to eat fresh snails. The more leeches grow, the more they will eat, and they will eat a pound of snails in one meal.

Pei Yuan still detoxifies every half a month as before, which is very effective and he is used to the pain.

Except for rainy days and detoxification, he is like a normal person. Bao Ning used to like quiet rainy days the most, but now she hates them the most .

But there is no other way now.

Bao Ning suddenly remembered that Pei Yuan was going out the day after tomorrow, but he must not encounter a rainy day. By the way, what was he going to do when he went out? She didn't even ask.

Wasn't it a bit too indifferent?

After experiencing the incident with Ji Jiaying, Bao Ning has always been somewhat evasive towards the disputes that Pei Yuan had to deal with. Just like this time, she didn't even dare to ask, partly because she felt that she would definitely not be of any help, and also because she was escaping in her heart.

She liked a quiet life, and Pei Yuan's behavior was contrary to her expectations, so she simply ignored it and pretended that it didn't happen.

Bao Ning thought again, can she really escape? They are husband and wife, and they will have children in the future, and it will be difficult for them to separate in this life. As a couple, every plan of Pei Yuan will have an impact on her. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, they should face it together, right? It is not something that can be solved simply by blindfolding and covering your ears.

However, for Bao Ning, this is still a difficult step.

...

After feeding the leeches, Bao Ning had nothing else to do in the morning. She moved a stool outside to bask in the sun, thinking about the things she needed to prepare for the store, while chatting with Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu was sewing shoe soles. She recalled what Pei Yuan said in the morning and sighed, "Madam and the Fourth Prince have a really good relationship."

Baoning smiled and said, "It's OK, it's very good."

Aunt Liu said, "I sometimes wonder why I didn't choose a good husband when I was young. It doesn't matter if he is very promising, but at least he knows how to be kind and can live a peaceful life. If that were the case, he wouldn't have died early, and I wouldn't have died right after giving birth to a little girl. She went to work as a wet nurse in the general's mansion, and now she has no home."

Baoning didn't expect that Aunt Liu had such a past. She was shocked and couldn't help asking, "How could she die at such a young age?"

Aunt Liu sighed, "To be honest, I was also wrong. If I had helped him, it wouldn't have happened like that."

Baoning was even more confused, "Is he sick?"

Aunt Liu said, "He was beaten to death."

Baoning was so scared that he dropped the book in his hand. She picked up the dirt and patted it, repeating in disbelief: "Beat him to death?"

"When I married him, he was a gangster who ran a casino. I didn't like his business or that man, but his family was rich, so I was forced to marry him." Aunt Liu shook her head, "After we got married, we just got by like that, and had a few children. I tried to persuade him to stop at first, but he didn't listen. Later, I was busy with housework and taking care of the children, so I didn't bother to care."

Bao Ning asked: "Then what?"

"Later, his father fell ill and spent a lot of money, almost draining the family's savings. He had never lived such a poor life before, and he was anxious. Maybe because of this, he made bad plans. I noticed it a long time ago, but I didn't care. I thought it was his own business and had nothing to do with me. I am a woman, and it is enough for me to take care of my own business."

Bao Ning asked: "Then...what next?"

"Later, on a rainy day, he wanted to go out. I noticed that something was wrong with him. He was too excited, and what was he doing out in the middle of the night? It must be up to no good."

Nanny Liu continued, "But I still didn't care. The child cried, and I went to feed him, and he left. Now when I think about it, I really regret it. If I had stopped him and didn't let him go, would he not have been beaten to death? Or if I had cared more about him earlier, would it not have come to that?"

She put the soles of her shoes aside, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and smiled embarrassedly: "Young Madam, I made a fool of myself in front of you."

Baoning patted her back comfortingly and said softly, "It's okay."

Thinking of the past, Nanny Liu felt uncomfortable, and Baoning's heart shrank as well. She felt scared. She realized that she didn't care enough about Pei Yuan. Bao Ning thought, even if she couldn't help, at least she should know what Pei Yuan was doing.

Aunt Liu's husband and Pei Yuan had nothing to do with each other, and their situations were completely different, but the phrase "beaten to death" still made Bao Ning have a bad association.

Should she really ask about Pei Yuan's affairs?

...

In the study, Pei Yuan was reading the military training diary sent by Zhang Yun, and Wei Meng was sitting next to him studying the topographic map of Lihu.

He was tired of stretching his legs, so he changed his posture and asked Pei Yuan, "Young General, I think you are just farting now. Who is Jia Ling? He is the eldest brother-in-law of the young lady. If you want to know what is going on with him, why don't you ask the young lady? If the young lady doesn't know, send an invitation to the Chongyuan Marquis Mansion and ask her eldest sister Ji Xiangzhen directly. As for the bedmate, you will always get some useful information by asking indirectly."

Pei Yuan didn't look up and said lightly, "She doesn't like these, don't bother her."

"You two are husband and wife." Wei Meng stood up and walked to his side, knocking on the table impatiently, "Let's talk about the long-term. What if you really become the emperor in the future? Will the young lady have to learn to be the empress? Or take a step back, you return to Saibei and still be the King of Jibei, then she will be the princess. Saibei Jiuzhen is so big, the princess is not just an empty title, you have to take responsibilities!"

Pei Yuan looked up at him and frowned unhappily: "She is a girl, why do you always force her to do something?"
