Chapter 39 I'm More Anxious Than You



There are only nine days left until the one-month deadline.

Song Huan looked at Pei Shen standing upright outside the door with a sword in his hand, and felt that his hair was almost turning white with worry.

The people in the Hou Mansion didn't know what was going on. Both Pei Chen and Pei Shen, clearly only seventeen or eighteen years old, loved to put on a stern face and pretend to be serious. Who knew where they'd learned this habit from?

Song Huan waved to Jin Yue and asked quietly, "Are you familiar with Guard Pei Shen?"

Jin Yue glanced outside the door and replied softly, "Madam, I haven't met Guard Pei Shen many times. When my sister and I first entered the Marquis's residence, Guard Pei Chen was always with the Marquis, while Guard Pei Shen was often sent out on missions by the Marquis. I remember the last time I saw Guard Pei Shen...it seemed like it was over three years ago."

"It's been so long."

For some reason, Song Huan recalled a plot point from the book—in the twelfth month of this year, the person accompanying Pei Yan had become Pei Shen, and there was no mention of Pei Chen from beginning to end…

Her intuition was not good. If the person who had been with Pei Yan all along was Pei Chen, then what happened to make Pei Chen become "no such person" in the book?

I'm afraid there are only two possibilities.

Either Pei Chen made a serious mistake and was punished by Pei Yan.

Or it could be Pei Chen...something happened before the twelfth month of this year.

But no matter which possibility it is, Pei Chen's fate is probably inevitable: death.

"Jinyue, are you familiar with Guard Pei Chen?"

Song Huan's eyes were burning. Last time at the inn, she called Jin Yue and Jin Le from the room. Even though Pei Xi tried her best to stop her, Jin Yue still bravely rushed into the room... Of course, there was nothing wrong with this incident itself, but if you compare it with the previous incident outside Mingsong Hall, when Jin Yue was deceived by Pei Chen with a simple sentence, the conclusion is obvious.

Sure enough, after she asked this question, she saw a thin layer of red on Jinyue's face.

Jin Yue only whispered, "Guardian Pei Chen and I...will spend more time together."

Song Huan: "Well, it's just that we spend more time together?"

Jinyue blushed and stopped talking.

Jinle chuckled upon seeing this, "Madam, Jinle knows. Sister is very kind to Brother Pei Chen. On New Year's Eve, I saw Sister secretly bringing food to Brother Pei Chen."

Jin Yue blushed and defended herself, "Jin Le, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing this, Song Huan quickly changed the subject, and would dig deeper into the gossip later when he had the chance.

This time she mainly wanted to understand Pei Chen's character.

Song Huan asked seriously, "Based on your understanding of Guard Pei Chen, what's his temperament like? ...Will he occasionally do something impulsive...that would anger the Marquis?"

Jin Yue was startled, the blush on her face instantly disappeared, and she even turned a little pale: "Madam, do you mean that Pei Chen did something wrong?"

Song Huan waved his hands and explained, "No, no, this...it's just that the Marquis has a bad temper. I just think it's really not easy for Guard Pei Chen to be by your side for so many years, so I wanted to ask you. I don't mean anything else. Jinyue, don't think too much."

Jin Yue was obviously relieved when she heard this.

Song Huan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Really, it’s thanks to her wit.

Otherwise, I really don’t know how to explain it…

Pei Shen, who was guarding outside the door, had a deep look in his eyes and kept in mind what Song Huan Jinyue and the others said.

That night, everything was silent.

Pei Shen returned to his residence and wrote down what he had heard and seen today on a small piece of paper. He then rolled it into a small straight tube and tied it to a black hawk.

A moment later, a roar sounded in the night sky.

"Master, Pei Shen's letter has arrived."

Pei Chen, with a black eagle standing on his arm, walked quickly into Pei Yan's tent.

As soon as the black eagle saw Pei Yan, it flapped its wings and flew to Pei Yan's shoulder.

Pei Yan unfolded the note and read the words on it, his expression growing colder and colder...

System: "Dear, the capture target "Pei Yan"'s favorability towards you has changed." "Favourability +14."

Song Huan: “…” He was sleeping soundly.

When Song Huan woke up early the next morning and signed in with a look of despair on his face, he discovered that his favorability had decreased again.

"?" Song Huan sent a question mark to the system.

"Smile, what happened?"

System: "Dear, what question do you want to ask? I don't quite understand."

Song Huan: “…”

"Bang! I was sound asleep at midnight. Could it be that Pei Yanyan saw me in a dream?! She even lowered my favorability rating in her dream?!"

System: "Dear, please calm down. Have you ever looked for the reason within yourself first?"

Song Huan: "What's the reason? What could be the reason for me? I can't even see anyone!"

"Ah! I'm so wronged! Believe it or not, I'll burst into tears and show you!"

System: “…” Silence.

Song Huan: "Come on! I'm telling you I don't accept it, so give me back my favorability!"

System: "Dear, I'm sorry, I can't help you. You need to work hard on your favorability."

Song Huan: “…” He was so angry that he became like a puffer fish.

But after getting angry, she still has to fight for favorability.

Since I can't meet Pei Yan, the only old way left is to write a letter.

Song Huan received the memories of his original body, and now there were many more poems and songs stored in his mind. It was very easy for him to write a few love poems with a strong sour taste.

But after finishing writing, she looked at her traditional Chinese characters that were sometimes big and sometimes small, and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

Her handwriting is readable when taken alone, but it looks too discordant when they are squeezed together.

etc!

Looking at the calligraphy, Song Huan was suddenly shocked.

On the day she traveled through time for the second time, she was clearly writing in simplified Chinese characters in the study, so... how did Jin Yue understand it?!

Song Huan tore up the words in her hand with a "swish". She raised her voice to call Jin Yue, but she swallowed the name back when it came to her throat.

No, we can't lose our composure.

"System Master! Are you there?"

System: "Dear, please speak."

Song Huan: "Besides me, there won't be another person who has traveled through time here, right?"

System: "Don't worry, dear. No, we have very strict regulations here. The situation you describe will never happen. And even if it does happen, this system will be the first to know."

Song Huan: "...Oh, okay, I was just overthinking it."

System: "Dear, I'd like to remind you that there are only seven days and ten hours left before the compensation plan ends. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Song Huan: "I know, don't rush me, I'm more anxious than you!"

Since Jinyue is a local resident, how could she understand the words she wrote?

Song Huan hesitated for a moment, but still called Jin Yue into the study, and then tactfully mentioned what happened in the Huichunyuan study before.

Jin Yue also replied tactfully: "Madam, you may have been too tired that day, so you only wrote half of the word. Fortunately, Jin Le has just started learning to write. I have seen Jin Le's writing many times, so I guessed what you meant."

Song Huan: “…”

Okay, so you think she can’t write very well... Oh, that’s a euphemism, she’s illiterate.
