The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
Since the Cui family was wiped out, Cui Yuning has watched the people around him die one by one, and has long seen through the fickleness of human nature.
When her father was alive, he once told her about the Pei family.
The whole family is loyal and brave, but they are suspected and persecuted by the current emperor.
Is this Pei Hou really willing to be loyal to the current emperor and the Great Chu? I'm afraid not.
Save her life, keep her in Pei Hou Mansion, and bring her back to Beijing... Cui Yuning doesn't believe that there is no "profit" in this.
She took a deep breath and looked at Song Huan with dark eyes: "Madam, why did you and Marquis Pei... bring me back to the capital?"
Song Huan raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect Cui Yuning to ask such a difficult question as soon as he opened his mouth.
But it's not surprising.
Although the plot of the book "My Husband Has All the Power in the World" has already deviated to the extreme, judging from the people she met, the characters in the book are still there.
Song Huanyang slowly lowered his hand from mid-air to his knees, leaning back slightly. He looked back at Cui Yuning intently, "Why do you think that is?"
The heroine in the book is indeed extremely intelligent, but Song Huan believes that she is also a person with intelligence.
If nothing else, at least she used rhetorical questions very well.
Cui Yuning's black eyes moved slightly.
She knew the answer wouldn't be easy.
But sometimes... you don't necessarily have to listen to what the person says to know the answer.
Mrs. Pei Hou's words to deal with her just proved what she was thinking.
Cui Yuning's uneasiness in her heart eased a little. Given her current situation, it was better to be profitable than to be unprofitable.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yuning doesn't know, I hope Madam will tell me clearly."
Song Huan chuckled when he heard this, "I've already made it clear."
She emphasized the word "explicitly".
The moment Cui Yuning lowered her eyes, Song Huan knew that Cui Yuning had understood... the meaning behind her rhetorical question.
That's just the way some things are.
They clearly knew it, but they still played tricks on him.
Cui Yuning was slightly startled, and his eyes couldn't help but shrink as he looked at his toes.
Along the way, she thought that Mrs. Pei Hou was not as scheming as Pei Hou, so she dared to ask this question before.
But those two short sentences had completely shattered her perception of this wife...
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the driver's loud voice came from outside, "Madam, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion."
"Are we there?" Song Huan's eyes lit up, and she lifted her skirt and was about to get out of the car.
But when she reached Cui Yuning's side, she paused and said, "Master Li in the kitchen has a strange temper. You should take a break for the next two days and don't go to the kitchen for now."
Cui Yuning loosened her grip on the hem of her clothes and looked at Song Huan in surprise.
However, after Song Huan finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, his back looking quite unrestrained and uninhibited...
Jinle, who was following behind her, felt it was too much to bear, and her face was full of confusion, "Madam, please slow down -"
Song Huan turned around and touched the sweat-soaked hair on Jinle's forehead. "We can't go any slower. If we go any slower, we'll die of the heat."
In the summer, the carriage is like a natural oven.
If she stayed any longer, she would probably be roasted into jerky!
But jumping off the carriage doesn't seem to make things any better?
No, it's a little better.
At least it has been transformed from an oven into a larger, high-temperature steam steam room... I guess I can survive.
Pei Yan handed the horse to Pei Xi, and ordered him to prepare ice as soon as possible and send it to Mingsongtang.
Pei Xi obeyed the order and entered the mansion through the side door, leading his horse.
Pei Yan walked towards Song Huan, with a fan in his hand. As he approached, a cool breeze blew across Song Huan's cheek.
Song Huan immediately took Pei Yan's arm and praised him with a smile: "Husband, you are so kind."
Although he knew that Song Huan was saying sweet words to him because of the cool fan in his hand, Pei Yan was still very pleased. He couldn't help but curl his thin lips and said in a clear voice, "Pei Xi has gone to the cellar to get ice and send it to Mingsong Hall."
Mingsongtang? Oh, scheming Pei Yanyan.
Song Huan blinked and said deliberately, "Husband, please send some to Huichunyuan as well. I'm afraid it will be too hot at night and I won't be able to sleep."
Pei Yan's eyelids flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly, "My lady, you should naturally stay in Mingsong Hall tonight. Why are you going to Huichunyuan?"
Song Huan glanced at him sideways. This guy was really good at pretending to be ignorant. "Husband, how come you have such a bad memory at such a young age? Didn't you let me live in Huichunyuan?"
Pei Yan had expected Song Huan to say this.
He opened his thin lips slightly and wanted to apologize to Huanhuan. Before leaving Beijing, he had indeed been a little too harsh on Huanhuan.
But when the words came to his lips, Pei Yan suddenly felt like teasing. He changed the subject and asked Song Huan, "Madam, do you want to live in Huichunyuan?"
Song Huan's heart sank. What did that mean?
Could this guy really let her go back to Huichunyuan?
Song Huan's eyebrows twitched twice. She should have noticed something was wrong earlier.
When they first set out from Ning County, Pei Yan pestered her almost every night.
But in the past few days… Although they still slept in the same bed, this guy had become more and more well-behaved. Yesterday, he didn't even hug her…
Song Huan narrowed his eyes, "Yes, I will live in Huichunyuan. Lord, are you reluctant to part with Bing? If so, I can buy her with silver."
Pei Yan looked at her angry look and almost couldn't help laughing.
But he had already provoked the other person to anger. If the fire was not put out in time, he would probably be the one to suffer in the end.
Pei Yan coughed lightly to hide his smile and explained, "My lady, you're joking. Everything in the mansion belongs to you. You can use as much ice as you want from the ice cellar."
"But if my lady really wants to live in Huichunyuan, I'm afraid you'll have to wait two days. Butler Pei arrived at the mansion the day before yesterday, and yesterday he only brought people to clean up Mingsong Hall. Huichunyuan hasn't been cleaned yet. Once he has his people clean Huichunyuan, I will accompany you to move there."
Song Huan's narrowed eyes relaxed upon hearing this. "Is that so? Then let's go to Mingsong Hall first today."
She was quite satisfied with this guy's answer.
But he's been acting strangely these past few days... Song Huan decided to try her best to flirt with him tonight, just to see why he suddenly stopped touching her...
Butler Pei arrived in the capital two days in advance. After returning, he chatted with Master Li for half the night, talking about a lot of useful and useless things.
One of them is the close relationship between their master and his wife.
Butler Pei advised Master Li to be more patient when he saw the Madam again and to save her face.
The master herself can tolerate his bad temper, but if he shows disdain to the lady again, I'm afraid the master will have a good talk with him.
Master Li originally thought that Butler Pei was deliberately trying to scare him.
But now, as he watched his master walk straight into the mansion with his wife, without even a glance at him or Pei Bushou, he suddenly believed what Butler Pei said...
When Pei Yan and Song Huan returned to Mingsong Hall, Pei Xi had not only placed an ice basin in Mingsong Hall, but also prepared hot water for bathing.
Pei Yan asked Song Huan to take a bath first, while he took a book and sat on the beauty couch outside the screen, reading while waiting.
But the sound of running water became clearer and clearer, as if Huanhuan was bathing right before his eyes...
Pei Yan couldn't read a single word. His Adam's apple moved, and he picked up the book and stood up, wanting to stand outside the door for a while.
However, just as he took a step, he heard Song Huan's scream from behind the screen, followed by a "thump" sound, as if someone fell.
"Huanhuan, what's wrong with you?" Pei Yan's heart tightened and he hurriedly ran behind the screen.
At this moment, Song Huan was only wearing a lilac-colored dress that reached her chest, revealing her shoulders, from which water droplets were sliding down...
The author has something to say: Jin Jin: Lao Pei is a little naughty today.
ps: I think it’s time to set a flag to urge myself. There will be two updates around 8 o’clock tonight!
