Song Huan suspected that he had heard something.
"Is Beijing safer than Ning County?"
Pei Yan said, "Of course."
Song Huan: "..." He said it so seriously that she almost believed it.
"Excuse me, do you still remember the man in black who came to assassinate us on the day of our wedding?"
Pei Yan: “…”
Well, I almost forgot about this.
He turned slightly, "Those people came for me... I'm not in the palace now, so no one will waste their time."
"What if they did it?"
"Most of the people left in the mansion are the weak, elderly, women and children who are powerless. What if someone deliberately sneaks into the mansion while you are away and kills us all?"
Song Huan had a hunch that there was something fishy about this matter. Pei Yan was not a kind and naive person, so how could he not think of this?
Unless... Song Huan suddenly realized: "You are sending me back to Beijing with the intention of killing someone with a borrowed knife, right?"
Pei Yan was startled and lowered his eyes: "You think too much."
"..." Song Huan looked at Pei Yan's slightly evasive expression, how could he not understand?
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the big data the system mentioned...
It seems that if she doesn't complete the "marriage consummation" task within a year, her life will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Song Huan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. His upper eyelid trembled slightly, and tears began to slide out from his eye sockets, one after another, making him look like a pitiful little thing.
Pei Yan felt a pang of sadness when he saw her like this. "Don't cry. I have no intention of using a knife to kill someone."
Song Huan sobbed, "I don't believe it... You've always wanted to kill me..."
Pei Yan frowned: "I will never let others kill anyone I want to kill."
Song Huan: "..." Suddenly he wanted to curse.
So this guy is still thinking about killing her?
However, unexpectedly, Pei Yan continued, "Besides, I no longer need to take your life. In the future, you don't need to worry about this."
"Why?" Song Huan stopped sobbing immediately, but the tears in her eyes could not stop for a while and flowed down again.
Pei Yan couldn't help but chuckle at what he saw. "You came to me and asked for death. I thought it would be easier to deal with the Song family in your name, so I just wanted to help you."
"Now..." Pei Yan said, but then changed the subject, a fierce look between his brows, "The Song family is dead, so what's the harm in sparing your life?"
He approached Song Huan and whispered in her ear, "As long as you don't regret wanting to avenge the Song family and have thoughts that you shouldn't have, this Marquis..."
Pei Yan's voice grew increasingly hoarse. "I wish you a safe life."
After he finished speaking, he looked into Song Huan's eyes, waiting for her answer.
The tears on Song Huan's face had dried. She looked into Pei Yan's eyes, which were so close to her, and blinked, "My Lord, do you know...that your current situation is very dangerous?"
Pei Yan's heart suddenly sank, as if stabbed by something. "Do you regret it?"
Song Huan couldn't help but squint his eyes, stood on tiptoe and kissed Pei Yan.
This guy is so close to her, it's a great opportunity, it would be a waste not to get close to him.
Pei Yan was stunned.
"Ding—the daily 'Kiss' mission has been completed."
When Song Huan heard the system prompt, he took a step back and let go of Pei Yan, his eyes curved even wider with a smile.
The sharp pain in Pei Yan's heart just now disappeared without a trace the moment Song Huan kissed him.
But the next moment, an inexplicable desire ignited, like a prairie fire that instantly swept through his limbs and bones, burning him all over.
Pei Yan's eyes darkened. "Please pack up and go downstairs for lunch. I'll wait for you downstairs."
After he said that, he turned and walked away, his steps surprisingly fast.
Song Huan: “…” Sigh.
She was disliked again.
Hmm...but I didn't push her away this time, so that should be considered progress, right?
Song Huan opened the favorability check and took a look, "+52".
The value has not changed.
Perhaps, the method of earning favorability by "kissing" has reached a bottleneck.
. ……
After lunch, Song Huan followed Pei Yan to Fengyuan Town.
As Song Huan expected, there were only a few shops open in the town. Even if there were, they were mostly teahouses and taverns.
Song Huan didn't mind. Although she went out after lunch, she didn't mind having some snacks or something.
However, seeing Pei Yan's increasingly gloomy face, she was unable to speak for a moment, fearing that he would get angry.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely depressing.
After a while, Song Huan suggested, "How about we go downstairs for a walk?"
Pei Yan glanced at Song Huan, who was bundled up tightly in the carriage. "...It's cold outside, and the wind and sand are strong."
Song Huan: “…”
There was another silence.
After a while, Song Huan finally couldn't help himself: "Let's find a good restaurant."
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Song Huan: "I think... I can still eat a little."
"..." Pei Yan looked at Song Huan for a long moment. After a long while, he nodded and called Pei Xi, who was driving the carriage, "Let's go to the restaurant."
"Yes, Master."
. ……
Since they were at the restaurant, Song Huan and the others had dinner together there.
However, Pei Yan's expression did not improve.
Song Huan had to swallow back the words that were stuck in his throat.
As night fell, Song Huan followed Pei Yan back to the inn.
As soon as they entered the gate of the post station, they heard the sound of the innkeeper arguing with someone.
When Song Huan entered the room, he saw a big man pushing the inn owner to the ground.
"Yuansha, don't start, be polite to the shopkeeper." A man in white, fanning himself with a paper fan, walked towards the fallen shopkeeper with a faint smile on his face. "We are here to stay in the hotel, not to destroy it."
The big man named Yuansha reluctantly took a step back upon hearing this. "Sir, I don't want to do this either, but this shopkeeper is so tactless. There are clearly vacancies in this shop, but he won't let you stay. In my opinion, this shopkeeper needs to be punished! If he is punished, maybe he will show some respect."
The innkeeper was trembling with fear. He barely stood up and said tremblingly, "My dear guests, it's not that I don't want you to stay here. It's just that all the rooms in my inn have been booked by a young man from the capital."
"Young Master from the capital?" Yuan Sha slapped the shopkeeper who had just stood up with one hand, his face fierce. "Let that fellow out. I want to see who is so blind as to dare to offend my young master."
“…”
Song Huan stood at the door of the store and watched this wonderful scene.
The big guy Yuan Sha, who likes to wear white clothes... and loves to fan himself... Isn't he the second villain in the book "My Husband Has Power Over the World"?
No way? What kind of trick is this?
She remembered... the villains in this book didn't seem to get along well with each other... would they fight today?
Song Huan turned her head and looked at Pei Yan, who had been gloomy all day. If a fight really broke out, she would have to hide away quickly to avoid being affected again.
"Boss, arrange those empty rooms for these people to live in." Pei Yan was surprisingly reasonable. After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the big guy and the villain No. 2, and pulled Song Huan to the second floor.
Song Huan breathed a sigh of relief, followed Pei Yan obediently, and prayed that the second villain would not cause any trouble...
"Stop! Has my master given you permission to leave?"
Unfortunately...Song Huan's prayers did not come true.
The plot follows this routine, and the IQ of the second villain's subordinates is just as touching as described in the book, and they are just as keen on making trouble.
But Song Huan felt that as the male villain in the book, Pei Yan must not lose face in front of the second villain.
She let go of Pei Yan's hand and said seriously, "Husband, since I want you to stay, then you should take care of the things here first. I will go back to my room and wait for you."
After saying that, Song Huan took Jin Yue and Jin Le upstairs. However, just as she took a step, she was stopped by Pei Yan.
"Why don't you wait for me for a while, my husband can solve this matter quickly."
Pei Yan looked at Song Huan with a smile in his eyes, and whispered in her ear: "My lady, if you want to watch the fun, why don't you stay and watch it here to your heart's content."
Song Huan: “……?”
Sir, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding?
She didn't want to watch the fun!
"Yuansha, don't be so disrespectful."
A clear and gentle voice came from the man in white, who put away his folding fan and stood in front of Pei Yan, bowing and saying, "The servants in this family do not know the rules and disturbed you, my dear master and my lady. This is the fault of my carelessness. I hope you and my lady will forgive me."
Song Huan: “……?”
This trend... doesn't quite fit with the plot.
How could she remember that the second villain in the book and Pei Yan almost fought to the death when they first met?
Is it because the timeline of their meeting has been advanced? Or... because the heroine hasn't appeared yet?
"Since he's a servant, then discipline him." However, Pei Yan said coldly, "Not everything can be shown to the public."
"Cough." Song Huan coughed lightly. She didn't want to watch the fun, she really didn't want to.
"Husband, since this young master has already apologized, why should we bother with a servant? Let's just forget about this matter and go back to our room, okay?" In order to comfort Pei Yan, Song Huan spoke in a soft voice and gentle tone.
However, Pei Yan's expression became increasingly ugly, and he looked like he was about to explode.
System: "The target 'Pei Yan's' favorability towards you has changed." "Favourability +33."
Song Huan: "!!!"
What did she do again?!
Could it be that Pei Yan doesn't want to go back and fight the second villain?
Never mind, the best strategy is to run away.
"If my husband doesn't want to go back to his room, then I should go back first?"
System: "The target "Pei Yan"'s favorability towards you has changed." "Favorability +10"
Song Huan: ...Fuck!
