Chapter 368 General's Childhood Sweetheart 20
Pei Lin seemed to see through her thoughts: "If you like it, you can enjoy it later."
Song Jiao nodded, put her arm around him, and said in a pretentious and artificial tone: "Brother Lin is so good to me."
Okay?
Pei Lin pursed his lips and looked at her: "Song Jiao."
Song Jiao blinked at him, as if asking something.
"Today I went to the palace to see the Emperor, and he has agreed to pardon your crime." His throat was a little dry and his voice was slightly hoarse. "But our marriage may be postponed for a while."
He had asked Liu Bo to start preparing for the wedding, but it would take some time to deal with Emperor Tianqi.
Lu Huan was actually not surprised by this result.
After all, there is a huge gap between her status and Pei Lin's. Also, because the original owner's father committed a crime, the emperor already hated their family. How could he so easily agree to her being with the general he valued the most?
She curled her lips and comforted Pei Lin: "It's okay. It's great that Jiao'er has been forgiven and can stand beside Brother Lin with dignity. Other things can be taken care of slowly."
As long as Pei Lin is hers, that's enough.
As for the rest, to be honest, Song Jiao didn't care much about it.
Little did he know that the woman's understanding made Pei Lin feel more guilty and distressed.
He touched Song Jiao's head and whispered, "Don't worry, I will never let you down."
Song Jiao took the initiative to hug him: "Okay."
The man patted the head of the person in his arms and said, "I have to go out for a while tomorrow. If you have anything, please go to Uncle Liu. I will bring you some cakes when I come back."
Song Jiao didn't ask him what he was going to do, and still agreed.
At night, Song Jiao and Pei Lin slept separately.
Although everyone in the mansion knew that General Pei was going to marry Song Jiao, the two had not yet officially gotten married.
For the sake of Song Jiao's reputation, this point is still very important.
…
The next day, when Song Jiao woke up, it was already past noon.
As soon as she got off the bed, the maid's voice rang out from outside the door: "Is Miss Song awake?"
Song Jiao responded.
Then the door was pushed open, and a maid came in with toiletries and new clothes. She bowed to her and said respectfully, "Miss, let me help you change your clothes."
Although she was a little uncomfortable, Song Jiao did not resist: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the maids came forward and began to dress Song Jiao.
The clothes were new and fit her perfectly. Pei Lin probably had someone buy them for her specially.
The maid skillfully tied her hair into a bun and pinned on some hair accessories.
Lu Huan couldn't help but reach out to touch it. It was much more beautiful than the hair accessories she had worn when filming on the set before.
After everything was done, the servant bowed to Song Jiao again and said, "Breakfast is ready. Please follow me to the dining hall to eat."
She smiled and thanked the maid: "Okay, thank you for your help."
This maid was the one who took Song Jiao to Pei Lin's bedroom yesterday. After yesterday, she had become somewhat accustomed to Song Jiao's politeness towards servants like them. She had a good impression of Song Jiao in her heart. She smiled with two dimples showing: "Miss, just call me Feicui."
Song Jiao smiled and said, "Okay."
She was taken to the dining hall by Feicui. Liu Bo had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Song Jiao coming in, he hurried over to greet her.
"Miss Song, did you have a good rest at home yesterday? Did you feel unwell?"
"Very well, no discomfort at all." The bedroom that Uncle Liu arranged for her was very close to Pei Lin's and was very quiet.
The beds and bedding are all brand new and scented, exquisite and thoughtful.
So last night could be said to be the most peaceful and comfortable sleep she had had since she came into this world.
Song Jiao naturally knew that all this must have been arranged by Liu Bo, so he was very grateful to him.
Uncle Liu looked at her lovingly and said, "Miss Song, are you hungry? Come and have breakfast. I don't know what Miss Song likes to eat, so I asked the cook to make something."
Song Jiao nodded and smiled, then his eyes fell on the breakfast on the table.
Song Jiao: “???”
Good job!!
Is this also called doing something casually?
Exquisite meals were served on expensive and beautiful bowls and plates, and the aroma was fragrant.
Song Jiao counted them and found that there were about a dozen or so.
Is this general's mansion so rich?
Seeing that she didn't move, the housekeeper was a little worried: "Miss, do you not like it? I'll ask the cook to make it again..."
"I like it." Hearing Liu Bo's words, Song Jiao hurriedly stopped him and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that there are too many. I may not be able to use it all by myself."
Hearing this, Liu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a loving smile, "Don't worry, young lady. Just try a little of everything."
In this way, he can also see what Song Jiao likes to eat, and then give orders.
Song Jiao nodded and sat down.
However, just after two dishes were finished, a maid suddenly ran in hurriedly from the dining room door, panting.
Uncle Liu's face darkened as he reprimanded, "How dare you be so reckless! Do you have any manners? Didn't you see Miss Song was having her meal? What if you scare her?"
Song Jiao, who was having a meal: "..."
Then she is not that delicate.
The maid blushed, then bowed to Song Jiao: "Please forgive me, Miss Song. I was rude."
Song Jiao waved her hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay."
"Tell me, what's the matter?" asked Uncle Liu.
The maid whispered, "It's...Princess Xiyue who has arrived."
"What?!" Liu Bo's face changed, but soon he seemed to realize something and quickly regained his composure.
Liu Bo smiled and turned to Song Jiao and said, "Miss Song, please enjoy your breakfast first. I'll go and greet the guests."
Although the maid's voice was low, Song Jiao still heard it.
She was a little puzzled as to why Uncle Liu was so shocked when he heard the name of Princess Xiyue, but she didn't ask any more questions and just replied, "Okay."
After Liu Bo left, Song Jiao continued to eat.
However, after she had taken a few bites, she suddenly heard a bang, as if something had been hit to the ground.
It came from the main hall.
Wasn’t Uncle Liu entertaining Princess Xiyue in the main hall?
Princess?
That must be Emperor Tianqi’s daughter.
She couldn't help but turn around and ask Feicui, who was left behind to take care of her, "Does Princess Xiyue come to the General's Mansion often?"
Feicui was slightly startled when she heard this, then shook her head gently: "To answer Miss Song, Princess Xiyue comes every few months, and she always comes when General Pei returns or when he goes on a campaign."
Hearing this, Song Jiao paused slightly with the spoon in his hand.
Come when Pei Lin is here?
Song Jiao was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning.
"This Princess Xiyue likes your general?"
Feicui glanced at Song Jiao cautiously, then whispered, "Yes, Princess Xiyue is in love with the general and has even asked the emperor to grant her a marriage..."
After saying this, Feicui was afraid that Song Jiao would overthink things, so she quickly continued in a low voice: "But the general refused. Every time Princess Xiyue came to the mansion, it was Uncle Liu who entertained her."
No wonder Uncle Liu looked like the sky had just fallen. It turned out he was worried that she would know what he was thinking...
Song Jiao put down the spoon in his hand.
Seeing this, Feicui thought she was angry and said quickly: "Miss Song, please don't be angry because I am too talkative. You..."
"It's none of your business." Song Jiao said with a smile: "I'm just full."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound suddenly came from the main hall.
The maidservant's frightened voice followed closely: "Uncle Liu!!"
Song Jiao's face changed and he ran to the main hall very quickly.
Feicui quickly chased after her: "Miss Song!"
