Jinle slept soundly. Jinyue stayed with Song Huan through the first half of the night, but in the second half she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep leaning against the car wall.
Song Huan lifted a corner of the curtain to see what was going on outside. Butler Pei had arranged for the servants in the mansion to take turns on duty at night.
At this time, the servants on duty also heard the sound of horse hooves, and they all perked up and took out their weapons.
“Da, da, da…”
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and becoming more and more chaotic and noisy. It was obvious that there were quite a few people coming.
Song Huan couldn't help but shudder as scenes of murder, robbery, and corpses left exposed in the wilderness flashed through his mind.
"Jinyue, wake up quickly!" Song Huan lowered the car curtain and patted Jinyue's shoulder gently.
"Madam?" Jin Yue was a light sleeper. As soon as Song Huan touched her, she opened her eyes, but there was still a hint of haziness in them.
Song Huan: "Did you hear any sound?"
Jin Yue perked up instantly after hearing this, "The sound of horse hooves?"
This voice sounded familiar to her. She had heard it many times every day when she was in Ning County.
"Madam, I will go find Butler Pei. Please stay in the carriage and don't come out."
"No, wait a minute."
Song Huan held Jin Yue, "We don't know the situation right now, so we should not act rashly. Besides, I just..."
Before she finished speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the wall of the carriage.
"who?"
"Madam, this is Pei Xi. Butler Pei asked me to tell you that if anything happens outside Wuluan later, you and Jinyue and Jinle should not come out. Butler Pei will handle the matter."
"We understand."
Song Huan pulled Jin Yue back to sit. "If we really run into some bad guys, we won't be able to help much if we go out. We might even be a hindrance. Let's just listen to Butler Pei and stay in the car, okay?"
Jin Yue nodded and responded softly, "Jin Yue listens to Madam."
As for Jinle...
Song Huan turned his head and took a look. Despite the noisy sounds of people and horses outside, the little girl was still sleeping soundly... She had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
Tsk, why is she actually a little envious?
Little Jinle sneezed suddenly, but did not open his eyes. His tender little white hands wrapped the quilt tightly around him.
Song Huan: “…” He silently added a blanket to Xiao Jinle.
Jin Yue: "...Madam, do you want to wake Jin Le up?"
"Not yet. Let's see what happens later. If there's a real fight outside, we can wake her up. If it's just a false alarm..." Song Huan looked at Jin Le, whose nose was covered with white mist, and said with a smile, "Then let her sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chaotic noise outside the carriage suddenly quieted down.
Song Huan's face suddenly froze. What happened?
She won't be a jinx, will she?
But I didn't hear any fighting...
"Master System, are you there?"
"I want to buy a 'Dangerous Event Warning' ticket."
system:"......"
Song Huan: “???”
"Didn't you level up? You promised me you wouldn't be disconnected again!"
"Are you there? Are you there?!"
"...Are you offline or playing dead?"
System: "..." Silence is golden again.
Song Huan: "......"
Irritable and want to curse.
This broken system goes offline at the critical moment!
She must have been crazy to believe the nonsense that it had been "upgraded and would never be disconnected again"!
"Madam," Jin Yue had been tense the whole time, and the sudden silence outside made her feel uneasy.
She called Song Huan in a low voice, her voice trembling, "Slave girl, go down and take a look..."
Song Huan held Jin Yue and shook his head, pointing to the curtain and mouthing, "I'll just take a look from here."
They didn't know the situation outside at the moment, and it was too dangerous to get off the carriage rashly.
She half-knelt close to the curtain, pinched a corner of the curtain with two fingers and slowly lifted it up, a pair of black eyes looking out from the gap...someone was walking towards the carriage.
Song Huan watched the man in the black robe approaching step by step. When she saw his facial features clearly, her eyes lit up, "Pei Yan!"
Jin Yue was slightly startled. "Madam, are you saying...the Marquis is here?"
Song Huan smiled and nodded, "It's him."
Your life value is getting thinner day by day, mommy can finally feed you some food!
She jumped off the carriage and ran towards Pei Yan.
In this situation, a hug is the most appropriate thing——
However, just as she approached Pei Yan, this guy pressed his palm against her forehead again.
Song Huan: “…” Still the same trick.
She took a step back and said, "Okay, okay, I won't hug you."
Pei Yan had a cold expression, like an icy sculpture in the cold winter night.
Seeing him like this, Song Huan's heart started pounding. If she used the same trick as last time... with Pei Yan's skills, she might be blocked by his palm again.
At this time, Pei Yan said coldly, "Go back."
Song Huan's eyes flashed: "Where to go back?"
Pei Yan stood with his hands behind his back, "Beijing, return immediately."
It seems that this guy doesn't want her to go to Ning County with him.
Song Huan couldn't help but shift his pace and shook his head, "I'm not going back."
Pei Yan's eyes flashed coldly: "You can't refuse this matter."
After saying this, he called over Butler Pei and said, "Send the Madam back."
"No," Song Huan shook his head repeatedly, "I won't leave. I want to go to Ning County with you!"
The direction of this plot was beyond Song Huan's expectation. Pei Yan seemed extremely opposed to her going to Ning County.
But no matter how much Pei Yan resisted this matter, she would not give up.
The point is, you can’t give up!
joke!
The day after tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and at that time the system will automatically deduct one month's life value that was previously advanced to her.
If she returns to the capital, she will be waiting for death!
But once Pei Yan is determined to do something, no one can change his mind.
He turned and left without paying any attention to what Song Huan said.
Song Huan: “…”
I want to cry, but I can't.
"I...I'll stay with you for the New Year before I leave." Song Huan suddenly had an idea and shouted to Pei Yan's back, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the day after tomorrow is Spring Festival. Can I stay with you for the New Year before I leave? ...I'm already here, can't I stay with you for two days before returning to the capital?"
As he spoke, Song Huan's tone became softer and softer.
System: "Dear, the favorability of the capture target "Pei Yan" towards you has changed." "Favourability +56."
Song Huan was delighted, it seemed to be effective.
It turns out that I have to go the white flower route with Pei Yan...
Pei Yan paused, but still didn't turn around. "I don't have the leisure to play with you."
Song Huan said, "You don't have to accompany me. Just do what you need to do. I'll accompany you when I have time."
"Master..." Butler Pei's eyes shifted between the two of them, and he weakly chimed in, "Since Madam is already here, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve, why not...let Madam accompany Master for a few days before leaving?"
"And... Master, aren't you going to stay in Fengyuan Town for a few days? Let Madam accompany you during these few days. Once you have resolved the matters in Fengyuan Town and are leaving for Ning County, I will bring someone to escort Madam back to the capital."
"Butler Pei is right." Song Huan nodded in agreement.
Pei Yan turned around, his cold face suddenly curled into a smile, "Song Huan, your skills have improved again."
Song Huan: “…” Boss, your attitude changes too quickly, she can’t adapt.
He was clearly smiling, but this expression...why did it look so creepy?
Song Huan opened the system's favorability check and found that the favorability had not changed.
Pei Yan walked towards Song Huan and asked, "Do you want to stay?"
Song Huan nodded: "Of course."
Pei Yan asked: "The reason."
"If this Marquis is satisfied, I might let you stay."
Song Huan didn't even have to think about it and answered without hesitation: "Because of you, because I want to stay by your side."
Pei Yan leaned forward upon hearing this, staring at Song Huan with a half-smile in his eyes.
Song Huan felt a little weak.
Is this guy going to kiss her again?
The last time he took the initiative to kiss her, her favorability rating plummeted. I can't let this guy take the initiative again this time!
Song Huanxin made up her mind, stood on tiptoe and kissed her, taking the initiative.
Pei Yan said calmly at the same time, "Lie..."
Song Huan: "......" Hmm? Talking?
System: "Congratulations on completing the 'Daily Kiss' mission and gaining six hours of health."
System: "The target 'Pei Yan's' favorability towards you has changed." "Favorability +66."
Song Huan: "...Shocked."
The favorability has risen to "+66", so is it far from "+99"?
From this point of view, it seems that the task of "consummating the marriage" is not that difficult?
Pei Yan pulled Song Huan away, his face flushed.
I don't know if it's out of shame or anger...
Song Huan lowered his head and whispered: "I thought you wanted to kiss me just now..."
