Chapter 73 Heart Knot

Cui Mengzhang woke up again, and was already sweating profusely.

Pei Zhengwen, who was on the same bed, woke up immediately after a little movement. His eyes were as clear as if he had not fallen asleep. He turned his head and his beautiful and dignified little wife was like a dehydrated fish, with big mouthfuls of her mouth. He patted her back comfortably.

Unexpectedly, Cui Mengzhang jumped away in panic and dodged his touch.

Pei Zhengwen's hand froze in the air. He slowly lowered his hand and asked, "You have been having nightmares these days."

His plain explanation.

Cui Mengzhang shrank to the wall before realizing what she had done just now, and pursed her lips. "Mr. Marquis, I..."

"What's going on to make you feel restless," he asked.

Cui Mengzhang wiped off the sweat from his head, lay down again, tucked the corners of the quilt, for fear that Pei Zhengwen would be angry, so he thought about it: "I read a few days ago, and it was about the story of ghosts and monsters in the mountains and fields. It was very terrible. I didn't realize it during the day, but I always dreamed at night."

In fact, there was something in her heart. Since she received Pei Shuo's letter from home and learned that he and Pei Xingzhi were on the way back to Beijing, a big stone hanged on her heart. She could escape the first day of the first day and the fifteenth day of the year. She could leave Pei Shuo in Nanxun County on the grounds that the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday was short and she had just entered the Caotang to adapt to study. Now, as the New Year approached, she had no reason to stop Pei Shuo from coming back.

If she wanted to stop her, Pei Zhengwen would not agree, and her father-in-law would not agree. She would not be happy and would not be at ease.

But thinking that the evil god was about to come back would greatly affect her fate, and her heart was crushed by a huge rock. So she always dreamed at night, dreaming that Pei Shuo was coming to take her life, and then counting the time, it would be within one or two days that he had arrived in the capital, and she had nightmares more frequently. However, she could not say these words to Pei Zhengwen, so she could only hold them in her heart.

Pei Zhengwen said: "The demons and ghosts are terrible? I'm afraid it's my evil god who influenced you."

Cui Mengzhang's heart skipped a beat and he was secretly screaming. Did her reaction hurt Pei Zhengwen?

Since she married into Pei's mansion, food and clothing are naturally no problem. She is the biggest mistress in the mansion. She has no mother-in-law, no sister-in-law, and even a younger brother-in-law, and has already been separated from the house. Her only concubine is responsible for her duty and has a happy life, and she has no worries at all.

If there are still regrets, it is Pei Zhengwen's attitude towards her, and the evil god Pei Shuo who will affect her life.

The former respected her as a guest, but was not close to her, while the latter was not allowed to send Pei Shuo far away and stayed away from him and did not let him affect his life.

"What the Marquis said is that you are everyone's hero and the hero in my heart." Cui Mengzhang took this opportunity to approach Pei Zhengwen, leaned his head on Pei Zhengwen's chest, and his strong and powerful heartbeat was beating thumping.

But as soon as she got on the pillow, he moved her position to put her on his arm, away from her chest, and stroked her long hair with her hand. Cui Mengzhang felt a little disappointed and cheered up and changed the topic: "Shuoer's return should be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Should I ask a cook to welcome them?"

"In the past two days, I will go to the military camps in the suburbs of the city to order troops, so I shouldn't be able to come back. Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi are still young, so I'll spare me if I'll treat them to the air and dust. I'll give them an extra dish. Let's go to bed."

Cui Mengzhang nodded and slowly closed his eyes.

Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi didn't come back in the afternoon.

When the servant saw the carriage parked and helped Pei Shuo down, he unloaded the carriage with his hands and feet, and moved his luggage from the carriage.

After days of dust, Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi looked a little tired.

As soon as he stepped into the door, a maid handed them a wrung veil to clean her face. Bai Yun followed Pei Xingzhi and couldn't help but look around. This is the Pei family, the founding marquis' mansion!

That's not the case.

No gorgeous decorations, grand pomp.

There are less than five maids, and their appearance is ordinary and not as beautiful as the other courtyards. The materials are still comfortable. The trampled stone bricks under their feet exuded a rough atmosphere. The square courtyard is not as exquisite and beautiful as the other courtyards in Nanxun County.

Bai Yun came to the conclusion and couldn't help but curl her lips.

But soon, she regretted it. Who said she couldn't compare to it? This area alone would be worth two villas!

She walked out of breath, her face turned pale, her eyes straight at the ground, fearing that she would turn black when she raised her eyes. When she looked at Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi, who were walking in front, she was not breathing. The maid who was following her was the same as usual, and her forehead was wet and stuck to her forehead. The sweat on her back was wet and dry. When the wind blew, it even smelled sweat. The fragrance of the scent of the clothes was not as good as it was!

Only she is the most embarrassed.

Pei Shuo asked: "Where is my father, I will go and greet my father first."

The housekeeper replied that the founding marquis went to the military camp to order troops. He thought for a while and asked to pay a visit to Cui Mengzhang.

Cui Mengzhang received them in the flower hall.

She dressed up specially today. When she got married, she was not as big as the 29th Fanghua, and was not much older than Pei Shuo. She was afraid that she could not defeat this evil god. She asked the nanny to dress her up and put on the popular bead crown in the capital. The northern beads were bright and huge, with narrow blue-gray short robe, a big red embroidered straight-collar shirt, white silk wide trousers, and a delicate eyebrows. She looked steady, dignified and mature.

Pei Shuo saw his stepmother for the first time. Although she dressed up specifically, he still saw through her age at first sight, and felt uncomfortable. He saluted and said hello: "Hello, Madam."

The mother who was calling out unexpectedly really made Cui Mengzhang feel relieved. She couldn't bear such a big son, even if she couldn't make a step son!

Cui Mengzhang responded with a smile, Jianlan brought a wooden lacquer tray with two sachets on it, and gave Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi one by one. They thanked each other in turn. Cui Mengzhang then said, "I think you are all tired, so I won't leave you to talk. Let's rest each other. Xingzhi, go back quickly, your mother is nagging you every day."

Pei Shuo keenly realized that Cui Mengzhang didn't like him.

It just so happened that he didn't like her either.

The two went out of the flower hall together, and Pei Xingzhi and Pei Shuo parted ways. When Honeysuo saw that Pei Shuo was not going back to the yard, but headed towards Zhengqiyuan, he asked more, "Young Master, aren't we going back?"

"My father is not here. Since I am back, I have to go and greet my grandfather."

In the flower hall, Cui Mengzhang was breathing in a thigh, pointing at the tea bowl and trembling slightly.

Jianlan quickly made tea for her and delivered it to her mouth. The hot tea flowed into her stomach. She felt calmer. She patted her chest and said to Jianlan: "Pei Shuo is really a bad person. He just stood in front of me. I felt that someone strangled my throat and felt disgusting. In the future, he would stay at home for a long time until the grass grows and the birds fly in the sky. What should I do if I do?"

Jianlan comforted Cui Mengzhang: "Madam, the eldest young master is over seven years old and lives in an outdoor yard on weekdays and doesn't meet often. Just bear it. Don't think about the second wife's harsh words. To be honest, Aunt Feng is the second person closest to the eldest young master. It may not be necessary for her to have bad things. The third young master is healthy and safe. You will let me say boldly, "Sha is not necessarily true, and the yin is strong and the yang is weak, but there is no mistake in the Pei family's prosperity or the daughter is strong."

Cui Mengzhang unconsciously reached out and stroked her abdomen. If she was pregnant, she would be her son.

"Talk too much."
