Chapter 84: Unkind Visitors
After reconciling with Pei Changfeng, Su Wanwan moved back.
After Su Cha found out, he kept sighing that she was a heartless person. He also pulled Pei Changfeng aside and said something to her.
Su Wanwan was curious, and after getting on the carriage, she couldn't help but ask.
Pei Changfeng thought about it and told the truth, "My father-in-law said that if I dare to make you sad again, he will chop me in half."
"That really sounds like something my father would say," Su Wanwan smiled, and suddenly some sadness emerged in her heart. She lowered her voice and said, "Husband, do you think that matter will really not be discovered by others?"
Pei Changfeng lowered his head and teased Xiao Fuguang, "What can a useless person who can't speak, write, hear or see, a madman, say?"
Little Fuguan was not familiar with his father. After his face was touched, he frowned, as if he was disgusted.
Pei Changfeng held his son in his arms, thought for a moment, then bent down and kissed him.
Little Fu Guang was stunned for a moment, then spit out a mouthful of milk with a "wow".
Pei Changfeng's expression rarely showed a dull look for a moment. He turned to look at Su Wanwan, as if looking for a solution.
Su Wanwan coughed lightly, trying to hold back her laughter. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the milk off Xiao Fuguang's chin. She wanted to say something comforting, but she burst out laughing as soon as she opened her mouth.
Pei Changfeng pursed his lips, looked down at the red-faced little Fu Guang, and suddenly became nervous, "Wanwan, look quickly, what's wrong with him?"
Su Wanwan immediately sat further away, opened the window and covered her nose, "Don't move!"
Pei Changfeng stood still, looking nervous.
After a while, the stench spread, and Pei Changfeng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. If the person he was holding wasn't his own son, he really wanted to throw him out.
Fortunately, the two families were not far apart. After getting off the carriage, Pei Changfeng handed the child to the wet nurse, then looked at his hands with some disgust and went in to wash his hands.
Su Wanwan was so happy that her stomach hurt from laughing.
Pei Changfeng wiped his hands, looked at her, and suddenly reached out and pinched her face.
"What are you doing!" Su Wanwan struggled for a while and pouted, "Why are you pinching my face all of a sudden?"
"This is not pinching," Pei Changfeng held her face and leaned forward to kiss her, "Does it hurt?"
His handsome face enlarged in front of her eyes. The couple had not been so close for some time. Su Wanwan was a little uncomfortable with it and was struck by her husband's handsomeness.
Her eyes became vague and she stammered, "It doesn't hurt."
The two windows in the room were open, and the warm breeze was pleasant and fragrant.
Su Wanwan was kissed so hard that she was dazed. When she was carried to the bed, she realized it belatedly and pushed Pei Changfeng away, "No, it hurts."
Pei Changfeng slowed down his movements and asked, "How about this?"
Su Wanwan didn't dare to look at him. She pulled the quilt beside her to cover her face, but it was pulled away after a while.
"I just want to look at you."
Su Wanwan turned her head away and pushed him with both hands, "How could you do this!"
"What?" Pei Changfeng was naughty and left teeth marks on her calf. "Wasn't it like this before?"
Once upon a time...about half a year ago.
Since Su Wanwan's belly became six months old, the two of them haven't done this kind of thing again, not to mention the two months of separation during the confinement period.
Su Wanwan was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Pei Changfeng was patient enough to wait until she got into the mood.
The evening glow is fading and the sky is filled with ink-black.
Su Wanwan lay in Pei Changfeng's arms, gasping for breath. She pushed the person on her and felt sore in her waist and legs. She cried out when she moved.
Pei Changfeng lazily kissed her neck, "Is it sore?"
Not hearing any answer, Pei Changfeng asked again. When he turned around, he saw his wife glaring at him angrily.
Pei Changfeng seemed to understand. He laughed, buried his head in Su Wanwan's neck, and laughed muffledly.
It’s not that Su Wanwan didn’t want to answer, but her voice was hoarse and she couldn’t make a sound.
She didn't use much strength, but pulled Pei Changfeng's hair and said in a huff, "You only know how to bully me!"
Pei Changfeng teased her, "Then I'll go bully others?"
Su Wanwan’s eyes widened immediately, “How dare you!”
Her voice broke.
Pei Changfeng got off her and held her in his arms again. In short, he didn't want to be separated from her for even a moment.
"Of course I don't deserve it. Even if you want to kill me, I don't dare."
The words he said always sounded so pleasant, and Su Wanwan enjoyed them very much.
In fact, Su Wanwan felt a little guilty. She did not choose to trust the person beside her when the incident between Pei Changfeng and Liao Cheng happened before. Now thinking back on it, she did feel guilty.
After listening to her, Pei Changfeng just smiled.
"You're angry, which proves that you care about me. Besides, you heard me say those words with your own ears at that time. You didn't know whether it was true or false, and you were also very sad. How could I blame you?"
Su Wanwan rubbed his chin and said, "Fortunately, everything is over."
Pei Changfeng lowered his eyes and kissed her cheek.
The next day, Pei Changfeng and Bai Ji went to the Hanlin Academy to discuss things together.
That night, Pei Changfeng destroyed Liao Cheng's eyes, ears and face, and Bai Jitong fed Liao Cheng a crazy drug. No matter how you looked at it, Liao Cheng was ruined.
It is better to destroy Liao Cheng than to kill her directly. Otherwise, she is a princess after all, and the royal family will inevitably be furious and send people to investigate thoroughly. Liao Cheng's current appearance also confirmed Pei Changfeng's guess - due to Liao Cheng's extremely bad reputation before, no news leaked out of the palace.
"It's still not enough," Bai Ji said, "What if she regains consciousness one day?"
"That's not what we should be worried about now," Pei Changfeng said, "Even if she recovers, she will go crazy. She can't see, hear, or speak. Anyone would go crazy. What we should be worried about is whether the palace will associate this incident with the two of us."
When they received the news from Liao Cheng's people last night, they were almost at a loss, and many things were not done perfectly or carefully enough.
Pei Changfeng thought about it carefully in his mind. All those who should be silenced had been silenced, and they did not leave any physical evidence.
Now their only suspicious point is the time when they were forced to be involved before Liao Cheng got into trouble.
But this is not something that can be disassociated from immediately.
"Let's get ready first." Pei Changfeng frowned, "We have to be on guard."
The palace seemed calm on the surface, but who knew what was really going on? It was always better to be prepared.
Palace.
The Fourth Princess had just come out after seeing Liao Cheng. The weather was getting hotter and Liao Cheng was too crazy. He refused to cooperate with the doctor's treatment and his wound kept opening again and again. After only three to five days, the wound had worsened.
The nanny beside the Fourth Princess couldn't help but want to vomit when she thought of Liao Cheng's appearance. The Fourth Princess's face was not good either, and she still couldn't accept this fact.
The faint stench of decay was still lingering in her nose. The Fourth Princess finally couldn't help it and began to dry heave. When she vomited, the nanny and the maid who were serving her couldn't help it either, and their faces turned blue from holding back.
After the nausea passed, the Fourth Princess turned pale, clenched her fists, and her eyes turned red. "I must find out who hurt my Cheng'er like this!"
At this time, an attendant came over and said, "Princess, someone sent you this."
The fourth princess frowned, "What is it?"
The attendant said, "That person said that you have to open it yourself to know. It seems to be... about the princess."
The Fourth Princess opened her eyes wide and snatched the thing from the follower's hand. She saw a name written on it: Pei Changfeng.
"Pei Changfeng?" The Fourth Princess had an impression of this person. Liao Cheng had mentioned this person several times before, and she had close contacts with this person for a period of time.
"Could it be that Cheng'er's accident this time is related to him?" The Fourth Princess could no longer think about right and wrong. She immediately locked her eyes on Pei Changfeng, "Investigate, investigate for me! Report every detail of his actions to me!"
When the Fourth Princess paid attention to Pei Changfeng, Pei Changfeng was also on guard against every move of the palace. He realized that someone was following him. He understood that his strength alone was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot compared to the palace, so he asked for help from the Marquis' Mansion.
The Marquis' Mansion has successfully inherited the title and seems to be restoring its former glory. Apart from anything else, it is more than enough to arrange a few people to protect Pei Changfeng's safety.
Madam Yang Hou held Pei Changfeng's hand distressedly, "Poor child, you have suffered so much. Princess Qingyang is a bully who doesn't know what's going on. You have to be careful if you are targeted by her."
"By the way, has Wanwan moved back? When can you bring Fuguang to me?"
"The palace is eyeing you covetously now, so it's inconvenient for Wanwan to go out. Wait until the palace holds a hundred-day banquet for Fu Guang in a few days, and then you can go and see it." Pei Changfeng was not polite at all. After all, compared to the safety of his wife and children, no etiquette was important.
Old Madam Yang Hou had no objection. She was infinitely tolerant of her grandson Pei Changfeng and wanted to make up for what she had lost in her daughter in Pei Changfeng.
Madam Yang Hou asked someone to bring a pair of red gold anklets. "I had someone make these for Fu Guang. There are Qilin engraved on both sides. They are perfect for the child to wear. I have something else for the Hundred Days Banquet. You can take these back first."
"Is it only the child?" Pei Changfeng held Madam Yang Hou's arm, "Wanwan was pregnant for ten months, and it was not easy for her to give birth to a child. Don't you have anything to give to Wanwan?"
Madam Yang Hou was amused by him. "You are acting like a spoiled child to an old man like me. But I am your grandmother after all. I will give you whatever you want."
Therefore, when Pei Changfeng returned home this time, he not only added five guards to himself, but also a pair of anklets for Xiao Fuguang and a pair of red gold bracelets for Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan was so happy holding the bracelet that she suddenly thought, "Husband, are you asking for money by doing this?"
Pei Changfeng drank a sip of water calmly, "It should be."
He confessed it.
"Fortunately, grandma loves you, otherwise we would be classified as poor relatives."
Pei Changfeng was a little amused. He hugged Su Wanwan into his arms and put the gold bracelet on her wrist. "Gold suits you well."
"Then buy me more," Su Wanwan stretched out her hand, "I'll buy you another pair of gold earrings. I saw that Sister Chen was wearing hairpins with gemstones. I didn't ask you to buy gemstones, only gold ones. Look how nice I am."
"Buy it. Anyway, the family fortune is in your hands. You can buy whatever you want." Pei Changfeng was not stingy. If Su Wanwan wanted it, he would give it to her. "Ruby and sapphire are both fine."
In the end, it was Su Wanwan who was defeated. "Forget it. Your monthly salary is so little. If I really want to buy a gem, I don't know how much I will have to put in."
Pei Changfeng's salary was indeed not high, but he received many rewards from the palace during festivals. As the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, the palace distributed rice dumplings, as well as some fish, meat and material for making clothes.
"No wonder everyone wants to be an official. Look, being an official is so good. There are so many gifts."
Su Wanwan was holding a batch of silk, a smoky blue material that looked like a tribute from Suzhou.
Pei Changfeng frowned. Is this included in the usual holiday gift list?
He looked carefully and found a hundred-year-old ginseng, a bottle of imperial tribute heart-nourishing pills, and several pieces of satin. They were not ordinary items, and there was even a longevity lock.
Pei Changfeng took a look at the list, but these things were not on it. Could it be that Emperor Chongming gave them to him individually?
Pei Changfeng was a little confused for a moment. He didn't have any outstanding political achievements. Why did Emperor Chongming treat him differently?
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. These are not things Pei Changfeng can figure out now. He simply stops thinking about it and goes to cultivate his relationship with Xiao Fuguang.
Before, little Fuguang didn't like him, and Pei Changfeng could understand that it was because the father and son spent too little time together and were not familiar with each other. Now, seeing that Su Wanwan has moved back with the child for a month, little Fuguang still refuses to let him hold him. At best, he spit up milk, and at worst, he pees on him.
Pei Changfeng didn't understand at first, and even felt a little resentful.
That night, he stared dimly at little Fuguang who was blowing bubbles in the cradle, and suddenly went up to him and kissed him on the face. Little Fuguang frowned in disgust, uttered "ah" twice, and stopped blowing bubbles. He and his father stared at each other, trying to see whose eyes were bigger.
When Su Wanwan came in, she saw the father and son like this. She leaned against the door frame with a smile on her face, "What's wrong? Are you angry with Fu Guang again?"
Pei Changfeng felt a little aggrieved and complained to Su Wanwan, "I feel like he doesn't like me."
"How could that be? You are his biological father." Su Wanwan picked up little Fuguang, who immediately smiled. She kissed him on the cheek, and he whimpered twice, which made Pei Changfeng very envious.
When he stood over, little Fuguang's smile disappeared. When he stood away, little Fuguang started laughing again and rubbed his mother's hand.
Pei Changfeng was completely unhappy. He turned over and lay on the bed, pretending to be tired and ready to sleep. In fact, he was sad and in urgent need of comfort.
Su Wanwan handed the child to the nanny and went to coax him, "Okay, Fu Guang may only be close to me. You see, he doesn't smile at others. When he grows up, he will know that you are his father. Everything will be fine."
Pei Changfeng said nothing. He pulled Su Wanwan to the bed and decided to do something bad to vent his anger.
Little Fuguang’s hundred-day banquet was very lively. The things sent by Su Cha first piled up half of the yard, and then the Marquis’ Mansion sent a lot of things more.
People in the Marquis' Mansion took turns holding little Fuguang, mainly Madam Yang, Old Marquis Yang, Pei Changfeng's eldest uncle and third uncle. Su Cha did not argue with them and just watched happily from the side.
Chen Mian also brought Luo Lian with him. Luo Lian was a very outgoing person and soon he started running around. Chen Mian was not worried about him and asked a maid to look after him while he started chatting with Su Wanwan.
Bai Jitong pretended to be passing by and stood next to the two of them, but he was actually secretly listening to what they were talking about. It was not until Chen Mian glared at him that he touched his nose and stood further away.
In fact, there were not many people invited to the centenary banquet, but due to the relationship between the Marquis' Mansion and Su Cha, the number of gifts received was quite large. Su Wanwan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Anyone who saw her could tell that she was in a very good mood.
When it was almost time to sit down, Su Wanwan invited the female guests to sit down, while Pei Changfeng went to entertain the male guests.
At this time, the doorman came running over with an embarrassed look on his face, and behind him came the fourth princess with ill intentions.
