Chapter 451 Giving You a Grand Wedding Ceremony
Pei Yuan's gaze darkened slightly.
"I started planning this three years ago when I learned about my background."
For the past three years, I have kept a low profile and hardly interfered in any affairs of the court. I have not even retaliated against the Chen family, Prince Heng, or Luo Heng.
That is to make the emperor think that I have lost all fighting spirit, but in private, I have been making preparations.
I'm waiting, waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, waiting for a chance to expose the truth behind the massacre of Liangzhou and let the whole world know.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Chu instantly understood what he meant.
"You want to wait until April?"
Pei Yuan smiled and reached out to gently stroke Shen Chu's nose.
"As expected of my Achu, you understood what I meant instantly. Tomorrow I will take you to see the results of my private arrangements over the past three years."
“Okay.” Shen Chu grasped his hand. “But before that, we must first detoxify the poison in his body.”
Starting tomorrow, your diet and daily routine will be entirely under my control.
Pei Yuan chuckled softly, pressing his forehead against hers, "I'd rather die than not have it."
Shen Chu leaned against his chest and couldn't help but sigh.
Pei Yuan asked, puzzled, "Why are you sighing?"
Chen Chu fiddled with the Chinese knot buttons on his lapel and whispered, "I regret it. If I had known that you had suffered no less than me in the past three years, I should have come back sooner."
Speaking of this, Pei Yuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Back then, Luo Heng brought you to see me go out to fetch my bride, and you believed that I was marrying Chen Jiaying?"
Is that why you came back wearing a human skin mask and refused to acknowledge me?
Chen Chu felt a little guilty and whispered:
"I think I absolutely cannot become your concubine. Recognizing you would only cause more sorrow. I might as well grit my teeth and end it here."
"Is this the end?"
Pei Yuan was so angry he laughed. He pulled her into his arms and, with a hint of punishment, bit her hard.
Shen Chu winced in pain, covered her mouth, and glared at him.
Pei Yuan scoffed, "This is punishment for your distrust of me."
Shen Chu chuckled.
"It won't happen again. No matter what happens, I'll only trust you, okay?"
Pei Yuan, with an expression that said "that's more like it," couldn't help but yawn.
Shen Chu gently patted his chest, "Sleep, I'll always be here."
Pei Yuan slowly closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
He was already extremely exhausted, but with Chen Chu by his side, he slept very soundly.
The next morning, when Shen Chu woke up, he was still fast asleep.
Even in his sleep, he held her hand tightly, as if afraid she would disappear.
Shen Chu raised her hand and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows, then lowered her head and gently kissed his lips.
Pei Yuan hooked his arm around her waist, flipped her over, and pressed her down beneath him, deepening the kiss.
Suddenly, Little Apple's chattering voice rang out from the side.
"Mother, Father, are you kissing?"
The two of them froze, as if electrocuted, and separated instantly.
When Chen Chu sat up, she saw Little Potato and Little Apple standing in front of the bed, staring at them with their big, round eyes.
Little Potato is alright; his little face remains expressionless.
Little Apple asked with a face full of curiosity, "Mommy, why can you and Daddy kiss, but Guoguo can't?"
Shen Chu blushed slightly and secretly glared at Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan touched his nose, his face full of embarrassment.
He became a father yesterday, and today he's already facing his child's "why" questions. The new dad says he has absolutely no idea how to explain it to his child.
Chen Chu suppressed the heat on her face and earnestly explained to the two children.
"Father and Mother love each other so much that they can kiss."
"But my mother and I love each other very much too." Little Apple said, indicating she didn't understand.
Chen Chu had a bit of a headache, but she couldn't help but satisfy her child's curiosity.
Children have a strong sense of curiosity, and if their questions are not answered in time, they may keep asking more and more questions.
"But Father and Mother are husband and wife. Only husband and wife can kiss. No one else can."
Little Apple looked bewildered and turned to Little Potato.
Did you understand?
The little potato said coolly, "I understand, you silly goose."
Little Apple snorted at him, waving her chubby little legs as she laboriously climbed onto the bed.
Seeing this, Pei Yuan picked her up and carried her to the bed.
Little Apple nestled in his arms, giggling, "Daddy, Guoguo wants a kiss too!"
After saying that, she put her arms around Pei Yuan's neck and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.
After the kiss, she tilted her head and brought her little face close to the kiss.
Pei Yuan trembled and subconsciously looked at Shen Chu.
Chen Chu smiled and nodded, then bent down and, mimicking how Little Apple had kissed Pei Yuan earlier, gave Little Apple a big kiss.
"Here, this is Mother's kiss."
"And there's also Daddy's."
Little Apple blinked her big eyes and looked at Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Okay, dear Father."
He solemnly kissed Little Apple on the cheek.
Little Apple clapped her hands happily, "Oh, Daddy and Mommy both kissed me!"
She made a face at the little potato.
"You don't have it."
The little potato snorted, as if to say, "I don't care at all."
But his tightly clasped hands betrayed his true intentions.
How could Shen Chu not understand her son?
She smiled and waved, then picked up the little potato and placed it between the two of them.
Then he winked at Pei Yuan.
The two of them simultaneously gave Little Potato a big kiss on the cheek.
"You two have both Father's and Mother's kisses."
Little Potato's face turned bright red instantly.
He even wiped his face with a hint of disgust, but his dark eyes were sparkling.
"Mother."
He glanced at Chen Chu somewhat embarrassedly, then awkwardly glanced at Pei Yuan.
"Don't think that just because I kissed you, I'll acknowledge you as my father."
With her little face flushed, she climbed off the bed and ran off.
Little Apple got out of bed and chased after him with a grin.
"Little potato is shy, little potato is shy."
Little Potato's somewhat embarrassed and indignant voice rang out from outside, "Little Apple!"
Shen Chu couldn't help but smile as she listened to the two children's bickering.
She comforted Pei Yuan, "Don't worry, Little Potato will accept you soon. Give him some more time."
Pei Yuan's eyes shone brightly, and a look of shame appeared on his face.
"Achu, I'm sorry."
Shen Chu was puzzled, "Why do you need to say sorry?"
Pei Yuan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Three years ago I married your memorial tablet, but since we didn't have parents at the time, it can't be considered a formal marriage."
I want to give you a formal, grand wedding ceremony. I want the whole world to know that I've married you.
But not now. I want to ask you to give me a little more time, until I get my revenge.
"Once I regain my identity as Lu Zhan, we can hold a proper wedding ceremony before the ancestral tablets of our Lu and Chen families, shall we?"
