Pei originally thought that Pei Xiao came to pick up Yuanzi and gave some gifts as a courtesy.

He went out with Baoning, enjoying the evening breeze, walked past two rows of osmanthus trees, and turned a corner, and saw Chang Xi waiting at the door.

The young eunuch in his twenties was as tall and thin as a stick, with eyes as sharp as a gray mouse, which were spinning around. Seeing Baoning coming from a distance, Chang Xi's mouth widened a little, and then he saw Pei Yuan's tall figure again, and he secretly said, "Oh no." He picked the wrong time and ran into this evil spirit.

"What a rare guest," Pei Yuan walked slowly to the door, crossed his arms and looked at Chang Xi, "What did your master ask you to do?"

Chang Xi didn't dare to speak, he wanted to send Pei Yuan away, and said slowly: "I am here, well, it actually has nothing to do with Your Highness..."

"You speak so slowly, it seems that you are embarrassed." Pei Yuan rubbed his chin with his fingers, "Then don't say it, Chen Jia, hold him down for me, and take the things away."

Chang Xi was shocked, not knowing why Pei Yuan gave such a rude order, waved his hands and took two steps back: "Fourth Prince, you are too barbaric!"

No one paid attention to him. Chen Jia snapped his fingers, and seven or eight male servants rushed out from behind him, holding weapons in their hands and surrounding Chang Xi and the footmen he brought. Chang Xi was stunned and turned around to run subconsciously. Chen Jia kicked him on the knee and pressed him to the ground, holding a long knife to the back of his neck: "Don't move!"

Then he ordered: "Carry the things in!"

Seeing that the servants were about to carry the boxes away like robbers, Chang Xi pounded the ground with his hands and said angrily: "Fourth Prince, these things are not for you, don't rob them!"

Pei Yuan originally turned around and left, but when he heard the voice, he turned back: "If it's not for me, what are you doing carrying it in front of my door?"

"It's for the Fourth Prince's wife!" Chang Xi shouted, "My prince asked me to deliver a message!"

Hearing this, Pei Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, and Baoning was also shocked.

She didn't have a good impression of Pei Xiao. She felt that the man was cold and indifferent, like a dumb man. He still couldn't tell right from wrong and tolerated Ji Jiaying's violence. He was even more annoying than Pei Yuan at the beginning. Pei Xiao probably didn't like her either. What did he come to give her?

Pei Yuan waved his hand impatiently, motioning Chen Jia to let him go, and raised his chin slightly: "Speak!" Chang

Xi climbed up with a dusty face, and glanced at Pei Yuan's expression cautiously: "When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys."

Pei Yuan smiled and nodded: "I won't kill you."

Chang Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He gritted his teeth and relayed, "The Concubine did something rude today. My Highness sent these gifts, first, to apologize to the Fourth Prince's wife on behalf of the Concubine. Second, your Highness is kind and friendly, and knows that the Fourth Prince's family is a little embarrassed, and the Fourth Prince's wife has no gorgeous jewelry to wear, and no expensive clothes to wear. My Highness said that the Fourth Prince's wife is plump and beautiful like the Goddess of Luo River, and only gorgeous clothes and pearls can match a beauty..."

Hearing this, Baoning was stunned.

She tilted her head to look at Pei Yuan's expression, only to see that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was on the verge of a rage.

Chang Xi trembled and dared not continue.

After a long while, Pei Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "You are so brave!"

"My Highness is just kind-hearted..."

Pei Yuan suddenly stepped forward. Chang Xi thought Pei Yuan was going to kick him, so he stepped back in panic, but the expected pain did not come. He only heard a "clang" in his ear, and Pei Yuan pulled out the long sword that Chen Jia had just put into the scabbard.

Chang Xi hid behind Chen Jia and cried, "We agreed not to kill the messenger..."

Pei Yuan glanced at him viciously, dragged the knife to the boxes, raised his arm and swung the knife. Wood chips flew, silver shadows flashed, and in a few moments, the first boxes were split in half.

A box containing pearls was chopped up, and the crystal clear and round South China Sea beads fell to the ground. More jewelry was lying on the ground in pieces, a mess, and a glittering jewel.

Chang Xi cried out in pain.

Baoning was even more shocked, and she could see that Pei Xiao had spent a lot of money. But why did he give her so many precious things?

Pei Yuan turned around and saw Baoning's surprised expression, and he felt jealous.

It's not like he hasn't given her good things before, and no matter what he got, he would always show it to Baoning first, but he had never seen her look like this. He's just a wild man, and she's happy with a little favor?

Staring at Pei Yuan's gradually weird look, Baoning probably guessed what he was thinking. Baoning understood Pei Yuan's petty look.

But this time, she really couldn't explain it, and there were so many people around, so she couldn't say it.

Bao Ning thought that she had already learned from the experience with Meng Fan. If Pei Yuan still quarreled with her over this matter, she would really kick him out.

The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

Bao Ning spoke first: "Eunuch Chang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have some misunderstandings. We will not accept the things..."

"Accept it, it's a pie that fell from the sky, why not accept it." Pei Yuan interrupted her. His tone was gloomy and obviously weird. Bao Ning sighed and let him be.

Pei Yuan didn't look at Bao Ning again. He weighed the knife and looked at the last big box. It was tightly wrapped and no one knew what was inside. Pei Yuan used the tip of his knife to stir the lock on the box, paused for a moment, and then split the lock with one stroke. Someone immediately came over and opened the lid, revealing several golden carps swimming freely inside. Pei

Yuan asked, "What are you sending the fish for?"

Chang Xi stuttered, "I heard that the Fourth Prince's wife likes..."

Pei Yuan's anger had already reached his throat. He snorted coldly and stirred the knife with a rolled blade in the water: "You know a lot?"

Bao Ning stood aside. She knew that Pei Yuan was angry now, but she didn't intend to care. She just wanted to see how Pei Yuan was going to vent his anger.

He was silent again. But the veins on the hand holding the handle of the knife were bulging, and he was obviously furious.

"The prince is so generous and kind. If I am polite to him, I will seem too stingy. I will accept these things. Please let Eunuch Chang convey my gratitude to me when he returns. Not only do I want to thank him, but I also want to return the favor. But I am really short of money and have nothing good to give him, so I will give him a wonder."

Pei Yuan glanced at Chang Xi: "Let him enjoy the wonder of mermaids."

Chang Xi was happy at first and felt that he had accomplished his mission. But after hearing Pei Yuan's words, he felt a chill down his spine and a chill in his spine.

Pei Yuan hooked his finger at Chen Jia and whispered a few words in his ear. Chen Jia obeyed. Pei Yuan put his arm around Bao Ning's shoulders and led her into the manor, no longer caring about what was happening behind him.

Bao Ning was puzzled and asked him quietly, "What did you just order?"

Chang Xi screamed from behind, followed by a whimpering sound from his blocked mouth. Bao Ning was confused and wanted to look back, but Pei Yuan straightened her head and said, "Don't bother."

Bao Ning had no choice but to give up.

She didn't see that Chang Xi was stripped down to his underwear, his pants were tied tightly together, and five or six carps were stuffed into his waist. The cold and hard fish scales rubbed against his bare calves, and Chang Xi screamed in pain. He wanted to struggle, but his hands and feet were tied up, and his waist was tightened, so the fish could only stay in his pants.

Chen Jia took out another one and stuffed the fish head into his mouth, so Chang Xi couldn't scream.

He was thrown into the water box and escorted by Chen Jia back to the Prince's Mansion.

...

On the way back, Pei Yuan was gloomy. He didn't say a word, and Bao Ning didn't try to comfort him. When

Yuanzi saw Bao Ning coming back, she happily jumped over to hug her legs and said in a baby voice: "Auntie, you've been out for a long time again. I miss you."

Pei Yuan asked sourly: "Oh? Then don't you miss me?"

Yuanzi looked at him with a puffy face, said nothing, and turned around to play.

Pei Yuan scolded: "Son and father are the same, both are annoying!" Bao Ning looked

at him helplessly. Pei Yuan put his hands behind his back, ignored Bao Ning, and walked straight into the house.

After a while, Aunt Liu brought dinner, and Pei Yuan still looked dead until he finished eating. Baoning washed herself and made the bed without answering him.

The lights in the room came on, and Baoning changed into her underwear. After she was done, she sat on the bed and applied ointment on the back of her hands. Pei Yuan was wiping the knife at the table, absent-mindedly, glancing at her from time to time.

He didn't know why he was so awkward here. There was no reason at all. He was not angry with Baoning, but he felt a little sad and angry.

Pei Yuan secretly looked at Baoning's profile. Her hair was scattered behind her, her waist was slender, her chest was plump, and she was slowly getting rid of the figure of a girl and growing up. Her little face was white, her lips were tender, her eyelashes were long, she was beautiful and well-behaved, and it seemed reasonable that many people liked her. But, she was married, why was she still blind!

Pei Yuan slammed the knife on the table with a bang.

Bao Ning sighed, closed the jar of ointment and put it aside, and asked softly, "How long are you going to torment me before you go to sleep?"

Pei Yuan stared at her unkindly, thinking secretly, why not get a gold chain and lock her in the room, and not let her go anywhere.

Bao Ning shook her head. She still overestimated Pei Yuan, it would be too difficult for him to come to his senses on his own. But he is not bad now, at least he didn't lose his temper, and he should get better little by little. Bao Ning thinks he should be encouraged.

Bao Ning got off the ground, walked behind Pei Yuan, hugged him from behind, and rested his chin on his shoulder: "What are you thinking about?"

Pei Yuan was just thinking, if there is a gold chain, should it be tied to her hand or foot, now being hugged by Bao Ning, these dark thoughts disappeared in an instant. He couldn't bear to let her go.

Pei Yuan said: "I'm thinking, I regret it."

Bao Ning asked: "What do you regret?"

Pei Yuan clenched his fists, then loosened them, pulled her into his arms and sat her down, his voice dark: "I should have had sex with you earlier, and having a child, would it be possible to tie you down?"

Bao Ning raised her head in surprise and met Pei Yuan's eyes. Seeing that his eyes didn't seem to be joking, she was startled and jumped up to run.

"Where are you going?"

Pei Yuan lifted her up and put her on his shoulders, strode to the head of the bed, turned around, pulled the curtain, hugged her and fell into the soft quilt.

...

Su Mingyu was scared to death. She heard noises at the door of the manor at that time. She was lonely staying in the room. Seeing the hustle and bustle, she asked the maid to help her go out. Unexpectedly, she saw Chang Xi! The eunuch next to Pei Xiao.

That would be fine.

But, she actually saw Zhao Qian!

Su Mingyu couldn't help but recall the absurd night last year...

She still didn't think she was wrong. She was Pei Che's wife. She had no worries about food and clothing, and she was rich and glorious, but she had never been loved. But who doesn't want to be loved? Pei Che has his own gentle hometown. He likes the ugly maid who is always by his side. Can't she also look for her own gentle hometown? Princesses can keep male lovers, so why can't she?

Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian... Did he see her?

Su Mingyou didn't want to be seen by him, because if so, the peaceful life she worked hard to maintain would be broken again.

But she felt lonely again.

Su Mingyou dismissed the maid, lay on the bed and thought about it, and finally said no. Zhao Qian is Pei Xiao's bodyguard. Even if he is just an unknown little guy, he is also Pei Xiao's man. It is too risky to contact him. Fourth brother and fourth brother's wife treat her very well, how can she do something ungrateful?

So let it be...
