I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 226 How am I?
I have known Pei Yuan for six years now.

At first, I thought I had rescued a tomb robber and kept him by my side as a friend to entertain me.

I was still young at that time and suffered torture everywhere in the Xie family.

Zhuang Wenxiu found an excuse to punish her and made her kneel in the yard without food or water. The man took advantage of the fact that no one was around and secretly brought her food to fill her stomach.

Sometimes it was braised meat with fruits from the kitchen, and sometimes it was pheasant and wild fish that I grilled outside. I didn’t have to starve for a day or two and become skinny.

If any servant bullied her, Pei Yuan could not attack her in front of them, but he could retaliate behind their backs.

To this day, Xie Fei still remembers that a certain bullying steward always withheld her monthly allowance, ordered servants to feed her stale food and vegetables, and even tried to do something indecent after getting drunk. Fortunately, Pei Yuan secretly stopped him.

The next night, the man somehow fell into the pit when he went to the toilet. He floundered in feces and urine until dawn, with a belly full of feces. Later, he fell seriously ill and was kicked out of the Xie family, becoming destitute.

There were also some evil servants who followed the orders of Zhuang Wenxiu and her daughter to humiliate her, but they were always cleared out quietly and their end was no better than that of the steward.

Although Pei Yuan did not admit that he had done anything bad, Xie Fei understood that he was venting her anger.

Gradually, there were fewer evil people around her, and her life became much smoother.

Before Fu Yu came, the two of them spent a lot of time alone.

He took her to secretly climb over the courtyard wall, go to the mountains to pick herbs and flowers, and run wildly at the lantern festival.

Occasionally, we would admire the moon and stars on the roof, fish and play in the stream, or chase and play in the snowy winter.

With Pei Yuan, her lifeless life came back to life.

Since when did I become so dependent on him that I could get the peace and security that no one else could give me as long as he was by my side?
She never thought that the person she actually married was the "tomb robber" who had always been by her side?
She herself wouldn't believe that this wasn't fate.

But soon, everything of the past will become a bubble.

Xie Jing's words made Xie Fei rethink.

Could she really accept Pei Yuan marrying another woman, watching them get married in love, and then just walk away?
If this is the case, she and Pei Yuan will have no contact for the rest of their lives.

When he thought of this, Xie Fei's heart suddenly tightened, and an unspeakable bitter pain spread silently.

Xie Jing looked at her expression carefully, pushed her again, and said, "Try again, Fei'er, you have to believe in your judgment. The person you love must not be an ordinary person. He must be beautiful enough to impress you."

In this case, why not believe it for once?

Xie Fei looked at the black and white chess pieces silently.

She likes that guy.

From the moment they first met, he saved her from the beast's mouth.

In the end, they faced life and death countless times.

Even though she didn't dare to admit it, she knew that she liked him.

Yes, why not give it another try? Even if you lose again, at least you have mustered up the courage and pursued it.

He originally planned to hide here with Xie Jing for two days, but after making up his mind, Xie Fei ran away immediately.

She hurried back to the mansion, but learned from the servants that Pei Yuan had entered the palace.

After finding out the time Pei Yuan would enter the palace, she rushed to the carriage, holding up her skirt, and ordered the horses to speed up so as to stop him before he entered the palace to meet the emperor.

The driver happened to be Chen Dafa, who came to the palace to report. He didn't know what happened to Xie Fei, so he just thought it was an urgent matter and took him out of the imperial city as quickly as possible.

Pei Yuan's carriage had just arrived, and he was about to get off and walk into the palace.

When he saw his own carriage galloping towards him, he frowned for a moment, then immediately saw that it was Chen Dafa who was driving, and he seemed to understand something. Not only did his brows relax, but even the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised.

Before the carriage was stable, Xie Fei jumped out, which scared Chen Dafa.

"Thank you, little lady. Please go slower!"

Xie Fei didn't care about these and quickly came to Pei Yuan.

The weather was cold, and although Pei Yuan was not afraid of the cold, he was still wrapped in a thick white fox fur coat to fit his character of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness, which made his already extraordinary face as dazzling as a precious jadeite. Looking down at Xie Fei tenderly, Pei Yuan bent down slightly and asked with a smile, "Didn't Ah Fei go back to her parents' home? Why did you rush here at this time?"

Xie Fei came in a hurry and had been running all the way, so his breathing was still a little difficult.

She was about to answer, but her throat was dry, so she slowed down and opened her mouth to say something.

Pei Yuan was surrounded by only a few assassins disguised as servants, all of whom were trustworthy.

She turned around and looked at Chen Dafa who was leading the horse. He was not the kind of person who would gossip.

After a pause, Xie Fei looked at Pei Yuan again.

For some reason, the face without the silver mask seemed a little strange at the moment, but the pair of eyes that she had seen countless times were still her favorite, shining as brightly as stars.

She felt more at ease, met Pei Yuanqiyi's forbearing eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what do you think of me?"

Her voice was drowned out by the sound of the wind, sounding small and fragile, but Pei Yuan had sharp ears and eyes and could hear it clearly.

He immediately smiled and answered seriously: "A Fei is the best."

In his heart, no matter in which aspect, she is perfect and no one can reach her.

Xie Fei took another deep breath and asked, "What do you think about me being your legal wife?"

"Hmm?" Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows.

With his hands clenched into fists behind his back, Xie Fei spoke incoherently: "Although my status is not noble enough, I think I am still smart. More importantly, we are a united front, trust each other, and should be more tacit than others..."

As he kept talking, Xie Fei couldn't help but think of Xie Xiongcheng.

No matter how small her desire was, that person would not respond to her. Instead, he would humiliate her or ignore her endlessly, as if her existence was a huge mistake.

But Pei Yuan is different.

After so many years, she knew him very well and knew that even if she made a request that made him helpless, he would only explain and persuade patiently and gently.

But even so, I still didn't dare to meet his gaze.

After saying so many words, Xie Fei finally came to his senses and suddenly realized that the surroundings were silent.

She hurried to look at Pei Yuan's face, her heart beating like a drum.

Indeed, Pei Yuan did not look at her with a mocking and contemptuous expression as in the worst-case scenario. He also did not think that she was overestimating her own abilities, and was shocked, surprised, and in a dilemma.

On the contrary, he looked very calm, as if he had expected it and was relieved.

After a long while, seeing that he still didn't say a word, Xie Fei got angry and said, "Hurry up and speak!"

Whether it works or not, just tell me clearly.

Pei Yuan suddenly smiled softly, his starry eyes filled with her shame and anger.

"I hope that A Fei is reluctant to leave because he loves me, and would rather sacrifice himself to the tiger than to stay with me."

Xie Fei swallowed his saliva and was about to retort stubbornly, but the moment he saw Pei Yuanqiyi's eyes, he was unable to say the harsh words.

She clasped her hands in a rare coy manner and stammered, "Well, it's just a little bit. I don't have many men around me, so you are one of the better choices."

Having said that, Pei Yuan was already very satisfied.

He smiled and said, "A Fei has the same intention. I also have the same intention. You are the only one who can be my first wife."

Xie Fei felt mixed emotions and was embarrassed to speak his true feelings in broad daylight, so he turned around and left.

"It's good that you understand. Go back. There's no need to see the emperor for permission."

Pei Yuan stood still and said, "That won't work. I still have to ask the emperor for permission to marry Princess Yongning to me."
