"I'm not afraid of hardship, but I'm afraid my life before might not be as good as it is in Ning County."
Song Huan pursed her lips and smiled faintly, trying to play the victim to Butler Pei.
Compared with your life, suffering a little is nothing.
Besides, the food, drinks, housing and other necessities... can all be recreated, so there is nothing to worry about.
Upon hearing this, Butler Pei's expression grew serious. He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time. After a moment, he said, "Madam and the master are newlyweds, and I think the master would like Madam to stay by his side.
"I'm afraid the master...is worried that the lady will suffer in Ning County, so he didn't tell his subordinates about the lady going to Ning County with him. But now that the lady is willing to go to Ning County to accompany the master, I'm sure the master will be happy to know."
"You mean... can I go with you?"
Butler Pei nodded and smiled, "Since Madam has made up her mind, there is no reason for me to stop her."
"Thank you, Butler Pei." Song Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
My life can still be kept online for the time being.
Even if Butler Pei didn't agree to take her to Ning County, she would still find a chance to secretly follow him. But the dangers along the way were too unknown, and her life was too fragile to withstand such a toss.
At this time, Master Li came out of the house at some point and was standing in the yard.
After hearing the conversation between Butler Pei and Song Huan, he walked out of the yard on crutches and roared at Pei Guanhuai, "Pei Bushou! Madam can go to Ning County, why can't I go!"
Butler Pei was stunned by Master Li's shout. He turned to look at Master Li with a look of disgust on his face: "Old Li, what are you doing here? Is there any relationship between you and the Madam?"
Song Huan: "..." She seemed to have heard a hint of meaning? Was it an illusion?
Before Song Huan could think about it, she saw Master Li stabbing the ground twice with his cane. He looked at her with a pair of angry eyes and asked, "Madam, please forgive me for being frank, but have you ever killed a barbarian?"
Song Huan: “…No.”
Not only did she never kill any barbarians, she never killed anyone...
Terrible, lost, lost.
Master Li turned to look at Butler Pei, "Pei Bushou, you know how many barbarians I've killed on the battlefield! My wife can go to Ning County, so why can't I go to Ning County to help the master?!"
Butler Pei was completely speechless after being choked by Master Li. He puffed his beard and said, "Old Li, why are you still arguing with me? It's the master's intention not to let you go. Why don't you understand..."
Master Li: "Then the master told you to let your wife go to Ning County with him?"
Butler Pei choked, feeling a little insecure for a moment: "...I didn't say I was going, but I didn't say I couldn't let Madam go either."
"You... your affairs were specifically instructed by the master to stay in the capital!"
Master Li scoffed, "Pei Bushou, you are a man full of evil intentions. I don't believe what you say. Unless the Marquis tells me personally, I will stay in the capital honestly. Otherwise..."
He looked at Song Huan, his eyes widening even more. "If Madam can go, then I can go too. If Madam doesn't go... then even I, who has lost half a leg, can stay in the capital!"
“…” Song Huan smiled but said nothing.
She knew she shouldn't just stand by and watch a quarrel, and sure enough, she accidentally became cannon fodder in the war.
"What does this have to do with Madam? Old Li, you are so old, how come you still learn to make trouble?" Butler Pei did not expect that Master Li would be so persistent, and he was so persistent at the wrong place and time.
He quickly took over what Master Li said, and at the same time, he put his hands behind his back and secretly made a gesture to Jin Yue, indicating that Jin Yue should take Song Huan away quickly.
Song Huan had seen that gesture from Jin Yue before, so he understood it instantly and started jogging away while pulling Jin Yue.
How could Master Li not notice their little movements? But when he wanted to stop them, Butler Pei walked up to him and blocked his way.
"Pei Bushou! Get out of the way!"
"Okay, get out of the way."
Butler Pei followed suit and moved away, but by then, Song Huan and Jin Yue had already disappeared.
Master Li was furious, his eyes wide open, staring at Butler Pei with murderous intent.
Butler Pei sensed something was wrong. "Old Li, don't be angry. Actually, the Marquis asked you to stay in the capital because he naturally had a mission for you..."
"A mission?" Hearing the word "mission," Master Li couldn't help but pause, his anger subsiding a little. Then he remembered something and suddenly realized, "Pei Bushou, you are deliberately trying to harm me and make me lose face in front of the younger generation, right?"
Butler Pei quickly denied, "No, no, it's not like that. You got anxious before I even finished speaking, okay? Besides, how could I have known that Madam and Jinyue would come looking for me so early in the morning? But Old Li, you've even learned to threaten people. You've made progress, really progress."
Master Li snorted coldly, "How could you be so evil? Tell me, what mission did the master leave for me?"
Butler Pei suppressed his frivolous expression and said, "Follow me into the courtyard. The master has left a secret letter for you."
. ……
Pei Yan led the army to Ning County day and night, marching at an extremely fast speed.
Even if Song Huan went out to chase him now, he would not be able to catch up. He could only wait until he and Butler Pei set off together. Butler Pei had set the date for leaving Beijing for three days later.
Fortunately, it only takes a month to travel from the capital to Ning County, so Song Huan’s health is sufficient.
But before leaving for Ning County, Song Huan still had a dowry to receive... This matter was a bit complicated and could not be resolved in a short time. Moreover, when she wanted to go to Baoyun Street the next day, she was stopped by the servant at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Butler Pei came and explained to Song Huan that it was Pei Yan's intention that during the time he was away from the capital, for the safety of everyone in the mansion, no one was allowed to leave the mansion unless necessary, especially... the unarmed female family members.
After hearing this, Song Huan felt sad.
The wound on her neck left a long and thin scar. Although it didn't look very noticeable, when she touched it with her hand, she could clearly feel that the skin there was different from other places.
"Then I won't go out." Song Huan gave up decisively.
Money is important, but life is more important.
She also knew in her heart that even if she could go out to Baoyun Street to meet those big managers, they would not be easily convinced by her.
At that time, she was so bold to take over Baoyun Street, actually intending to use Pei Yan to bully others.
Even if those big managers don't take her seriously, they will still be a little afraid of Pei Yan.
But Song Huan hadn't expected Pei Yan to leave Beijing so unexpectedly...
