Chapter 39



Qin Peng meant what he said. His original self really liked Wei Yang. Wei Yang was like a torch in his original self's life, burning brightly in the life of a woman who was not loved by her father or mother.

Qin Peng recalled his original past and laughed softly, "When I was in the palace before, I didn't have a good life. The queen was jealous of my mother and didn't like me. My mother only cared about herself in her life. I was in the cold palace during those years..."

At this point, Qin Peng stopped talking again, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past, there's nothing to talk about."

Qin Shuhuai was drunk at this time. He forgot everything for a moment and listened to Qin Peng's words in a daze. It seemed as if he had returned to his youth.

At that time, Zhao Peng loved to complain to him. She loved to do this before marriage. Although he felt pity for her, he still had to pretend to be reserved and serious. He just listened to her quietly without saying a word. Then, if anyone bullied her, he would secretly set traps for them. However, the queen was like that, so there was really nothing he could do. He could only buy some desserts to comfort Zhao Peng.

He hadn't heard such complaints for many years, and for a moment he felt as if he were dreaming.

It must have been in a dream, right?

He thought.

Zhao Peng has been dead for so many years, how can I still talk to him?

But even in a dream, at least he could see her.

This time he was older and could do better, so he supported himself and moved closer to Qin Peng.

Qin Peng was startled when she saw "Liu Shuyan" suddenly leaning over, and then the other party reached out his hand and pressed her into his arms.

Qin Peng's head buzzed as he listened to the other person's heartbeat. Then he said in a hoarse voice, as if coaxing a child: "Peng Peng, don't be sad. I'm here. Don't be sad anymore."

Qin Peng was actually a little drunk and a little dazed for a moment. She leaned on "Liu Shuyan's" chest and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she was leaning on Qin Shuhuai's chest when she was a teenager many years ago.

At that time, Qin Shuhuai was still very thin and just a little boy, but his chest was very warm and his heartbeat was very steady. Leaning on that person, he felt that he had nothing to fear even if the sky fell and the earth collapsed.

Qin Peng felt that he was indeed a very kind person. When he thought of others, he always thought of their good qualities first.

Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't think it was wrong to be hugged by "Liu Shuyan". However, after "Liu Shuyan" said this, he put his head on her neck and shoulder and said nothing.

Qin Peng could hear the other person's even breathing from above. He was so stiff from being held so tightly that he slowly reacted - was he asleep?!

She struggled out of "Liu Shuyan's" arms, and the other party fell backwards with a "bang" without support. Qin Peng quickly pulled him back. At this time, she began to feel a headache. She raised her voice and called the guards outside to take Liu Shuyan back.

Qin Peng thought that Liu Shuyan might have lost his mind after getting drunk and falling asleep on a date with a woman.

However, Qin Peng herself was not in much better condition. She felt a little dizzy, so she quickly asked someone to help her get on the carriage and then send her back to the Wei Mansion.

After she returned to the Wei residence, she was completely drunk and fell asleep in the room. When Wei Yan heard that she came back drunk, he frowned and asked, "Where did she go?"

"I heard that he went to eat mutton soup with Master Liu."

The guard answered respectfully. Wei Yan thought about it, nodded, and didn't say much.

When Qin Peng sobered up the next morning, she felt something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw Bai Zhi sitting next to her with a bad look on her face. Qin Peng immediately said, "I'm telling you, Liu Shuyan has bad intentions!"

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Go on."

"No," Qin Peng explained quickly, "It's like this. Yesterday he asked me to have mutton soup and drink wine, and then told me that water and wine are similar to juice. Do you think he was trying to trick me?"

After hearing this, Bai Zhi looked better: "So, have you been tricked?"

"No, I pretended to be drunk, which was actually very clever."

Bai Zhi sneered: "I can't see. What did he tell you?"

"Oh, he just wants to find out who are our people in the court."

Qin Peng would certainly not let Bai Zhi know what "Liu Shuyan" was asking about, because what Liu Shuyan was asking about was something Bai Zhi could not know.

When she woke up, Qin Peng realized that Liu Shuyan must have been testing her yesterday. The content of the test was nothing more than the question of whether Qin Peng's identity was true or false. Fortunately, she reacted in time and said it very smoothly. I'm afraid Liu Shuyan couldn't think of anything.

But why did "Liu Shuyan" suddenly check on her?

This made Qin Peng very strange.

Qin Peng was thinking while she washed and dressed. After she was dressed, she walked to the dining room, where Wei Yan and Old Lady Wei were waiting for her.

Qin Peng walked forward, bowed and sat down. The three adults and five children gathered around the table and began to eat quietly. After a few bites, Qin Peng heard Wei Yan across from him say, "I heard that my sister-in-law went to dinner with Master Liu yesterday and drank some wine. She was helped back by someone. I wonder if my sister-in-law feels better after the hangover?"

Hearing this, Qin Peng immediately tensed up. She carefully looked up at Wei Yan who was eating opposite her. There was no emotion on Wei Yan's face. He was smiling and seemed full of concern.

Qin Peng said with difficulty: "Yesterday I didn't know it was watery wine, so I drank two more glasses..."

"What's the big deal!" The old lady Wei suddenly said, "Who among the women of our Wei family doesn't drink a few more cups? Did you go out with Master Liu? The one who writes so well, Liu Shuyan?"

Qin Peng was choked up when he saw the excited look on Old Lady Wei's face. Old Lady Wei continued, "I heard that he has not married yet. He is very handsome, but he has a lot of romantic relationships. However, he is still a good match. Ah Yan," Old Lady Wei turned around and asked, "You know Liu Shuyan, right? What do you think of him?"

"A man of temperament."

"You are a man of good character!" The old lady Wei high-fived, took Qin Peng's hand, and said happily: "Keep working hard. If this young man is good, you should work harder. We, the Wei family, will definitely support you."

"Mother..."

Qin Peng didn't know whether what Old Lady Wei said was true or false, but he felt that it was indeed too embarrassing to say such words.

Old Lady Wei seemed to know what Qin Peng meant, and said to her: "Don't worry, we will talk about these things later. My dear wife," Old Lady Wei's eyes were full of pity: "It is our Wei family who has let you down."

"No," Qin Peng raised her head suddenly. Even though she was not the original body, she could still empathize with the original body. She said seriously: "It was the Wei family who gave Qin Peng a new life. The Wei family has never done anything wrong to Qin Peng. Mother, please don't say that."

Old Lady Wei smiled and said nothing more. She urged the five youngsters, "Enough talking. Eat your food."

Qin Peng was very nervous during the meal. Actually, she had planned to take things slow with Liu Shuyan, but she had not expected that Liu Shuyan had set a trap for her yesterday. She had a good alcohol tolerance and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but the wine turned out to be much stronger than what she drank in Beiyan.

Things were beyond her expectations, and she couldn't help but worry about the Wei family's attitude. After breakfast, Wei Yan sent the five children to school, and Qin Peng followed behind him. After sending the children to the teacher, Wei Yan and her strolled in the corridor, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to say to me?"

Qin Peng pursed his lips and finally said, "I want to know my uncle's attitude."

"What attitude?"

"Why does my uncle support Ah Ming?"

Qin Peng's words made Wei Yan stop in his tracks. Wei Yan turned around and looked at Qin Peng, smiling: "What do you think?"

"Qin Shuhuai is from the northern military system, and I am from the southern military system. Do you understand what I mean, sister-in-law?"

The words were so clear that Qin Peng naturally understood.

Wei Yan is an extremely calm and responsible person. Precisely because of his sense of responsibility, when it comes to choosing a position, he would never take so many of his men to choose a position just because of Qin Peng.

He supported Qin Ming not only because Qin Ming was his sister-in-law's younger brother, but also because the relationship between him and Qin Shuhuai was inherently an opposition.

In addition, Qin Shuhuai's accession to the throne is not legitimate and there are a large number of ministers who are obstructing him. Once Qin Shuhuai tries to ascend the throne by force, the Qi State will surely be in chaos.

After considering various factors, Wei Yan chose Qin Ming.

"So it doesn't matter if I'm your sister-in-law or not, right?"

Qin Peng calmed down, and Wei Yan smiled: "That's natural, you don't have to worry, whether you are my sister-in-law or Qin Peng has nothing to do with my support for His Majesty."

Hearing this, Qin Peng slowly smiled.

"Wei Yan," she said with bitterness in her eyes, "I have been alone and without anyone to rely on for almost ten years."

Qin Peng was a widow for ten years, and Zhao Peng wandered for six years with hatred in his heart.

“I want to have a new life.”

She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Yan seriously.

This is Qin Peng's body. Before she does anything, she thinks that she should at least give an explanation to the people around Qin Peng.

Wei Yan smiled.

"Then go ahead."

Wei Yan sighed: "Sister-in-law, you have buried yourself and my brother together for ten years."

Qin Peng didn't say anything, but for a moment, she suddenly wanted to tell everyone.

As for Qin Peng, he and Wei Yang were buried together not just for ten years, but for a lifetime.
