In the early morning, the sky was gray.
The cold wind blew in waves like flying knives. Song Huan tucked his hands into his sleeves, covered his face with his sleeves and went to Mingsong Hall... to deliver breakfast.
She thought about it for half the night, and finally concluded that Pei Yan was mentally ill.
Wouldn't it just bring unhappiness to yourself to argue with a mentally ill person?
At worst, next time she gets revenge, she will bite a piece of Pei Yan's mouth... to get revenge.
After all, the anger in his heart subsided, but Song Huan still had to face the reality - for the sake of his life, he could not stop pursuing Pei Yan.
It's normal for favorability to fluctuate.
As long as that guy doesn't really kill her, let it go on and on.
The serious thing is to earn life points steadily.
But when Song Huan arrived at Mingsong Hall, he found that the gate was locked...
What kind of magical operation is this?
"Jinyue, has this ever happened before?"
Jin Yue shook her head. "Madam, Jin Le and I only came to the capital with the Marquis in July. We have been staying with you all at the Marquis's residence in Ning County."
Ning County... Song Huan's mind shuddered, and he suddenly remembered something.
In the book, Pei Yan and the heroine meet a year later in Ning County. It also takes Pei Yan nearly a year to travel from the capital to Ning County. So, if Pei Yan was summoned to the palace by the emperor yesterday, and Mingsong Hall was locked today, could it be that Pei Yan was sent to Ning County to fight?
Oh shit, something big almost happened.
It is now the twelfth lunar month, and she always thought that Pei Yan was sent to Ning County after the Spring Festival, but she didn't expect that he was sent out before the Spring Festival.
Those barbarians in the north are also stupid. Wouldn’t it be better for them to just spend the holiday peacefully? Why do they have to fight?
Moreover, according to the timeline in the book, after Pei Yan met the heroine, he spent another year in Ning County before he managed to pacify the Hu people in the north.
This means I have to leave Beijing for at least two years!
By then, Song Huan will either be playing games with the baby dinosaurs or escaping from the cute zombies... I'm afraid even a trace of his soul won't be found.
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
She had to go to Ning County with Pei Yan. "Jinyue, take me to find Butler Pei."
Seeing Song Huan's serious expression, Jin Yue didn't say anything more and just said, "I will lead the way for you."
Butler Pei lived in a small courtyard near Mingsong Hall. About half a minute later, Jin Yue and Song Huan found Butler Pei.
The gate of the small courtyard was open. Before Song Huan entered the courtyard, he heard Master Li's loud voice coming from inside. His voice was full of energy, which was completely different from the tone he used yesterday when he didn't want to pay attention to Song Huan.
"No! I won't stay in the capital! Pei Bushou! Wherever the Marquis goes, we must follow him. This is the rule the old Marquis set for us!"
"...Old Li, don't be so anxious. Calm down, calm down. It was the Marquis's idea to let you stay in the Marquis' Mansion, not mine. Why are you so anxious with me? Besides, this time the Marquis has issued an order that half of the people must stay in the Marquis' Mansion, not just you."
"What do you mean I'm the only one? Pei Bushou! Tell me the truth, were you gossiping in front of the Marquis? Don't look at me because I'm missing a leg. If I don't kill more people than you on the battlefield, I won't even be named Li!"
“…”
Song Huan paused, not daring to step into the quarrel scene easily.
But it seemed awkward to listen at the door like this.
She glanced at Jinyue, who was very perceptive and had an idea in mind. "Madam, please wait outside the courtyard gate for a moment. I will go inside to look for Butler Pei."
Song Huan nodded, feeling a little touched. "Okay Jinyue, go ahead."
Jinyue had lived in the Marquis' mansion for many years, having been raised by Steward Pei and Master Li. Even if Jinyue overheard their argument, they might have pulled her aside to judge the issue. But if it was Song Huan... I'm afraid both Steward Pei and Master Li would have felt humiliated.
After a while, the voices inside stopped.
Jin Yue walked out of the yard, followed by Butler Pei.
"Madam, what do you want me to do?" Butler Pei bowed to Song Huan.
It looked like respect, but Song Huan understood that there was more than just alienation.
But this is all normal.
Everyone has a bit of xenophobia in their hearts. Although the title of Marquis's wife sounds nice, in fact, she is just a newcomer.
Being able to give her superficial respect is already excellent.
Song Huan nodded slightly. "There's something I'd like to ask you, Steward Pei, for help. Jinyue and I just went to Mingsong Hall, but we found it locked... May I ask why?"
Although the conversation between Master Li and Butler Pei just now made it clear that Pei Yan was leading the troops into battle, Song Huan still asked knowingly in order to avoid embarrassment.
As expected, upon hearing Song Huan's words, Steward Pei's expression relaxed a little. "Madam, after the master left the palace last night, he followed the emperor's orders and headed directly to the camp thirty miles outside the capital, Yanshan. This morning, he will assemble his troops and set off for Ning County."
Song Huan was surprised when he heard this, "My Lord, are you going to the battlefield?"
Butler Pei said, "This was an oversight on my part. Pei Chen told me this news last night when he returned to the mansion to pack the Marquis's luggage. I had intended to go to Huichunyuan to tell Madam this morning, but I didn't expect Madam to go to Mingsong Hall that morning. So I'm sorry to bother you with the trip. I hope you won't mind."
Song Huan's brows darkened.
She used to love to smile at everyone she met, but now she suddenly stopped smiling and instead managed to create a sense of dignity.
However, her dignity...is of no use in front of Butler Pei.
Butler Pei had a smile on his face and his expression remained calm.
Song Huan: "..." Okay, it would be more appropriate for her to take the cheerful route.
Song Huan smiled and said, "Butler Pei, I heard Jin Yue mention earlier that many people in our mansion used to stay with the Marquis in Ning County, right?"
Butler Pei nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "Madam is right. Most of the servants in the mansion only came to the capital with the master in July of this year. We thought that everything would be stable now and the master would live a peaceful life in the capital for a few years. We never expected that it would be less than half a year and those barbarians would become restless again."
Song Huan's eyes lit up. She was waiting for Butler Pei to admit it. "Since that's the case, Butler Pei, let's be frank. I'll be frank. This time the Marquis is going to Ning County, can I go with him?"
Hearing this, Butler Pei was stunned. "Madam, are you going to Ning County with the Marquis?"
Song Huan nodded, "Yes, let's go together."
Butler Pei twitched his beard, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. "Madam, Ning County is not as prosperous as the capital. It's just a patch of yellow earth, dusty skies, and the food, drink, and shelter there aren't even half as good as in the capital! If you really want to go there... I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot."
Butler Pei pondered for a moment and listed many of Ning County's negative aspects, but he didn't seem to really want to stop Song Huan.
Because as Song Huan listened to him, his tone seemed to gradually become a little more excited... and only at the end did he slow down his tone a little...
Song Huan: “…”
It sounds like a pit...
But even if there is a pit, she has to go.
