Chapter 64 Please keep your promises

The crowd looked ashamed and embarrassed. Their gazes towards Pei Wenwen became even more hostile.

It was all Pei Wenwen's doing. She's a wicked girl who can't stand seeing others do well and wants to drag everyone down with her.

Just then, Pei Yuanjun suddenly appeared.

"Please keep your promises and deliver the money you promised my lady to the back mountain on time. Otherwise..."

Everyone was genuinely uneasy about Pei Yuanjun's sudden appearance. His expression was too cold.

The cold created a sense of distance between everyone.

It was as if he were a superior being who could control their life and death.

But when did he appear? How come none of them noticed he was there?

Feeling guilty and ashamed, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Pei Wenwen wanted to call out to Pei Yuanjun, but seeing his cold gaze, it was as if he wouldn't listen to anything she said. Her lips moved, but the words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word to explain or defend herself.

Then Pei Yuanjun, carrying the basket on his back, slowly led Qi Yunran down the mountain.

At this moment, their figures disappeared from sight.

Only then did everyone realize that they had broken out in a cold sweat under Pei Yuanjun's icy gaze.

A chill ran through everyone; the eldest son of the Pei family was too terrifying, and they were definitely not to be trifled with in the future.

Once everyone was out of sight, Qi Yunran forcefully pulled her hand back: "Why are you here?"

Pei Yuanjun tightened his fingers, as if the warmth of Qi Yunran's fingers still lingered in his hands.

"I was worried because you'd been in the mountains for a long time and hadn't returned, so I came in to check on you. I never expected..."

Qi Yunran didn't care what he said and patted the ginseng on her chest.

What a close call! Luckily, when the young man said that the good stuff they found should be shared equally, she took advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to the honey in Pei Wenwen's basket.

He secretly hid the wrapped wild ginseng in his chest.

They didn't notice because he kept covering his chest with his hand.

Otherwise, the losses today would have been enormous.

However, Pei Wenwen's losses today will be even greater. She tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; she reaped what she sowed.

She had initially listened to her advice, and the honey was meant for her and Huang Caicai.

Although she didn't particularly like them, she didn't want them to get covered in stings.

If you get stung on some nerve and end up with a mental disability, that wouldn't be good.

And these are all girls around fifteen or sixteen years old. If they get allergic to a bee sting and don't get treatment in time, the sting on their face will be painful and itchy. If they scratch it, they might disfigure themselves.

Don't accuse her of deliberately bringing them in later.

Pei Yuanjun saw that Qi Yunran was lost in thought and didn't listen to anything he was saying.

He immediately waved his hand in front of Qi Yunran's eyes, and Qi Yunran snapped back to her senses.

Looking at Pei Yuanjun, a man who looked like a god, carrying a worn-out basket on his back, it did not affect his good looks at all.

There is also a hazy, dreamlike beauty in it, as if it wants to ride the wind and return home.

The way he looked at her was surprisingly gentle and warm.
Qi Yunran finally realized that all the gentle warmth was just a passing cloud.

Even if she were given this man to her for free, she wouldn't want him!
This is nothing compared to what we'll find in the capital.

That would mean directly opposing the current princess and noble ladies of the capital.

Thinking about it, it's still better to live in this small village with Xiao Jingxuan.

No one plotted against her, and no one deliberately disturbed her.

She's free now because of Pei Yuanjun; once he goes to the capital, she'll be free.

Even if they don't give her a letter of divorce, she can still act with impunity in town as Pei Yuanjun's adopted daughter-in-law, and no one will dare to offend her easily.

After figuring it out, I didn't dislike Pei Yuanjun as much anymore.

Seeing the look of satisfaction finally appear in Qi Yunran's eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his own.

This young wife's thoughts are even harder to fathom than his.
