Chapter 31 Take Care
Pei Yanzhou trembled and panicked.
I wanted to go up and hug her, but I held myself back.
This time, I must teach Shen Yuning a lesson. I must not be soft-hearted.
The night breeze was blowing gently, lifting her gauze skirt.
Almost in an instant, Pei Yanzhou's heart softened.
He secretly decided: if Shen Yuning threw herself into his arms and cried, he would hug her and tell her that what he said just now was too harsh.
Then tell her that their engagement remains the same - she and Yan'er will marry into the Pei family together, and they will be equal wives, regardless of age.
Of course, even if you marry him, you can't sleep with him for the time being.
He wanted to wait for an opportunity, until his family had gradually forgotten about Pei Yan, so that he could start to favor Shen Yuning...
Thinking of this, Pei Yanzhou put aside his pride and took the initiative to walk towards Shen Yuning.
"Ning, Ning'er——"
"I'm sorry, Pei Yanzhou, I never knew the truth... I pretended to be nice to you for so many years, and I'm sorry I wronged you."
Shen Yuning opened her red lips slightly. Facing Pei Yanzhou's abuse and ridicule, the first thing she thought of was to apologize.
After what happened with Pei Yan, everything seemed to have changed for her.
Become less assertive, and everything becomes inferior.
She no longer resisted or struggled, and accepted whatever others said or scolded her.
Pei Yanzhou froze and began to feel at a loss.
He didn't mean it, he didn't say that on purpose. "Ning, Ning'er, Shen Yuning, I..."
"Oh, by the way, I'll return this jade pendant to you!" Shen Yuning took out a fish-shaped jade pendant from her sleeve without any anger.
"This is the token of love you gave me when we were engaged. Now that the engagement has been cancelled, I can no longer accept the Pei family's ancestral jade pendant."
She handed the jade pendant to him, but Pei Yanzhou was reluctant to take it.
After realizing what was happening, he raised his voice: "Shen Yuning, how can I take back something that you have touched?"
"If you don't want it, just throw it away. I won't want it anymore anyway!"
Pei Yanzhou looked furious, but in fact he felt inexplicably sad in his heart.
The girl had been following her for so many years, like a little follower, and she could endure any cold look from her.
How come she gave up first just when I finally let go of my grudge?
Pei Yanzhou turned his head to the side so that she wouldn't see his emotions, and his big hands were shaking.
Shen Yuning, however, seemed to have long been accustomed to his "disdain".
With a bitter smile, he placed the jade pendant directly in front of Pei Yan's grave.
"Pei Yanzhou, I left the Pei family's ancestral jade pendant with Yanyan. Even if I throw it away, it's not my place to deal with it."
"Pei Yanzhou, I'm leaving. Take care!"
"Are you going to completely draw a line between you and me?" Pei Yanzhou suddenly became emotional and stopped her.
"Then will I also return the purple jade flute you gave me?"
Shen Yuning moved her lips and was about to say that the Pei family had done a favor for the Shen family and that all the gifts did not need to be returned, when she heard Pei Yanzhou say angrily:
"I never liked your purple jade flute from the beginning and gave it to the servants to play with a long time ago."
"Even if you wanted it now, I can't find it!"
His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on her incredibly beautiful little face.
I really wanted to see a hint of anger on her incredibly beautiful face.
Who knew, but Shen Yuning smiled faintly, “I guessed it.”
"Just throw it away, so as not to keep it with the general and cause you trouble."
“Ash Chen, what’s your attitude?”
Pei Yanzhou was so angry that he turned around and tried to grab her hand, but found that she had already walked away.
Ye Feng silently picked up the fish-shaped jade pendant and put it into his sleeve.
“Master, don’t look anymore, Miss Shen has already gone far away.”
Pei Yanzhou turned to him and said angrily, "Ye Feng, what do you think of Shen Yuning's attitude? Is she deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of me?"
"I just said something so harsh, why didn't she talk back? Why didn't she scold me?"
"Where's her former arrogance? Where's that arrogance?"
Pei Yanzhou was so anxious that he paced back and forth and spoke incoherently.
Ye Feng racked his brains to comfort him, but suddenly heard Pei Yanzhou say with great sadness:
"Ye Feng, you don't know that before Shen Yuning, as long as I scolded her... she would, would, would push me... against the wall——"
Seeing Ye Feng's face flushed instantly, Pei Yanzhou scolded again:
"You're such a clueless young man, you don't even know how bad Shen Yuning is..."
"She's wild and fierce, and she loves to act like a spoiled brat to me... She, she's really not a good woman!"
Ye Feng's handsome face flushed again, but he still tried his best to agree: "I understand, Doctor Shen is extremely beautiful, passionate and bold!"
"Ye Feng, you..." Pei Yanzhou was extremely angry and a little jealous, but he finally sighed, "Yes, you described it very accurately."
"She's already pinned me down and said so many sweet nothings to me. How could she just...give up like that?"
Ye Feng pursed his lips and said with a cupped hand: "Master, it was you who wanted to cancel the engagement yourself, Miss Shen just wanted to help you!"
Pei Yanzhou looked painful, but still refused to admit his mistake:
"Didn't she say she's loved me for years? How could she not stand this little setback?"
"We've been engaged for so many years, and this isn't the first time I've been cold to her. Why is it that after learning about Yanyan's situation, she's become a completely different person?"
"Master, Doctor Shen had already requested an imperial decree to cancel the engagement before he knew about Miss Yan's situation." Ye Feng answered truthfully.
"Moreover, Dr. Shen has saved countless lives and is so open and self-reliant. It would be hard for him to accept the fact that his former friend died because of him."
"You have to accept it even if you can't!"
Pei Yanzhou raised his voice: "Yan Yan has been dead for so many years, and she doesn't accept it. Can Yan Yan come back to life?"
"Besides, the more you find it unacceptable, the more you should obey my arrangements and compensate me..."
Shouldn't she marry me and work like a slave for me, serving me closely?
Ye Feng sighed, "Doctor Shen lost her memory for six months because of Miss Yan's death. She must have been deeply traumatized. Now that the past is brought up again, she must be blaming herself immensely."
"Master, what happened back then... was it really Doctor Shen who did it? I have always felt that Doctor Shen is not that kind of person!"
"It's definitely her!" Pei Yanzhou's face suddenly turned cold. "Although Ning'er is innocent and cute, and has a fierce personality, her character is indeed unsatisfactory."
"I've already asked the owner of Pan Garden, and I've also inquired about the news from the servants and retainers. I've even questioned the tourists that day. I've confirmed that Yanyan died because of Ning'er."
After a pause, he continued:
"However, Yuning was still young at the time and hid herself, not daring to tell the adults. I can kind of understand that... maybe even she herself didn't realize the consequences would be so serious."
"It doesn't matter if a woman is a little selfish. I have already accepted the fact that she has bad character. Why does she care so much about her reputation?"
Ye Feng handed the fish-shaped jade pendant to Pei Yanzhou, "Master, Doctor Shen doesn't care about his reputation, but he can't accept his own fear of death. After this incident..."
After this incident, Doctor Shen was afraid that there was no possibility for her to be with the general anymore, no matter how much she liked him.
Ye Feng was nervous and asked cautiously, "General, what do you think of...Miss Shen?"
"The only thing in my heart is Yan'er!"
Pei Yanzhou's eyes flickered. "I'm not someone who easily changes his mind. I only value Ning'er's talent and only want her to stay in Xuanjia Camp and work for me."
Ye Feng's heart was relieved. "Then I am relieved... Hey, Master, where are you going?"
Pei Yanzhou: "I will go to Shen's Clinic!"
"I want to see what kind of person Shen Yuning is. Is it possible that she is willing to treat ordinary people even if they have no money?"
