stern wife

Chapter 6
Back then, her elder brother was the first to go to the battlefield, and that was also the beginning of her nightmare.

So now, her eldest brother is still alive, which means that her third brother, fourth brother, mother...and all the people she cares about are still alive.

She wants to become strong, and then protect them well, not one of them is missing.

Especially her brothers, who are ruthless in the battlefield, as the descendants of the Pei family, they have no choice not to go.

So in the previous life, they fell on the cold battlefield at their prime of life, wrapped in horse leather, and slept alone in the ground.

In this life, she must let them enjoy the family happiness of having their beloved wife by their side and their children enjoying themselves!

Pei Xiaoran clenched the needle in his hand, his eyes were fixed, and he allowed the needle to pierce through the flesh again, causing continuous pain.

But she just felt happy all over her body, and there seemed to be infinite energy in her body waiting for her to squander it.

dong dong.

The door was knocked twice suddenly, Pei Xiaoran woke up, and immediately ran back to the bed and quickly pulled the quilt to cover himself.

The door was slowly pushed open, but it was not Pei Runzhi who came in, but a little girl wearing an embroidered waist-length short jacket and a long rose skirt.

The little girl came in with a tray, and when she saw Pei Xiaoran on the bed looking at her with her eyes open, she was slightly startled, then she smiled and said:

"Miss, you're awake, just in time, get up and take your medicine."

Pei Xiaoran stared at her and looked up and down calmly, and recognized that this was the girl who had been by his side since childhood - Ling Yu.

She doesn't have a deep impression of this girl, because this girl is of average appearance, and she does things well. Very honest and reliable feeling.

Pei Xiaoran was about to sit up cooperatingly, but suddenly it occurred to her that she had come back to life again, and she didn't know how old she was, but when she got out of bed, her field of vision suddenly became a lot shorter, and when she got the needle, she saw that white... With her white and tender hands, one could tell that she was still a child.

A child naturally has to look like a child.

Pei Xiaoran changed his mind, and lay back down again, staring at the bowl of medicine, his small face wrinkled into a bun, and said:

"The medicine is bitter, I don't want to drink it."

Ling Yu seemed to have expected it long ago, picked up a piece of candied fruit from the tray, shook it lightly in front of her eyes, and said:
"Miss, let's take this after drinking the medicine, it won't be bitter at all. The servant also made the young lady white fungus pear soup, and I will bring it to the young lady later."

"Then I eat candied fruit first, and then drink the medicine, will the medicine not be bitter?" Pei Xiaoran asked innocently.

Ling Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said:

"Eat candied fruit first and then drink the medicine, the medicine will be more bitter."

Pei Xiaoran curled his lips, sat up with a look of disgust, and crawled to the bedside to take the small white porcelain bowl that Ling Yu handed over.

The concoction was dark, and the taste was even worse than death, but compared to the bitterness she had suffered in her previous life, it was nothing.

Pei Xiaoran is not afraid of the bitterness of the medicine juice, but he still has to pretend that it is very difficult to swallow, and he has to pinch his nose to force it into his throat. After drinking a bowl of medicine, it is a little harder to pretend to be a child.

After she finished drinking, Ling Yu quickly stuffed a piece of candied fruit into her mouth, and immediately, the sweet taste washed away the bitterness in her mouth.

Pei Xiaoran chewed the candied fruit, handed the bowl back to her, and crawled back into the bed to lie down again.

Ling Yu turned around and poured a cup of hot tea and put it on the small table beside the bed, ready to rinse Pei Xiaoran's mouth, but it took a while for the tea to warm up, so she naturally sat down by the bed.

Looking at the little girl who stared at the bed curtain in a daze with wide-open eyes, Ling Yu said unintentionally:
"Miss, did you hear about the master's return?"

"Dad is back?"

Of course Pei Xiaoran didn't hear about it, he turned the other party's question into a question and threw it back, while his mind was spinning quickly.

Pei Xiaoran's father, Pei Xingshan, was conferred the title of Duke of Wei by the No.16 Red Emperor of Suzaku Kingdom because of his outstanding military exploits.

Now is the cold time, could it be that it is just approaching the end of the year?

"I think the young lady fell ill suddenly, and the young master didn't have time to tell the young lady, but the master did indeed come back yesterday..."

While talking, Ling Yu secretly paid close attention to Pei Xiaoran's expression.

Pei Xiaoran heard that there seemed to be unfinished meaning in her words, but he couldn't figure out her intentions for a while. He only remembered that when he was young, he still admired and respected his father Pei Xingshan, so he sat up again and said happily:

"Then I'm going to see Daddy!"

Ling Yu made an extremely embarrassed look, raised her arm to stop her and said:
"Miss, you... you can't see the master yet..."

"Why?" Pei Xiaoran raised his small face, and looked at the little girl standing by the bed in puzzlement.

She is really puzzled, because it is difficult for anyone to remember clearly what happened when she was a child, and most of them will be washed into a blur by the years, and she is no exception.

"Because, because..." Ling Yu turned her head and looked outside the door, seeing no one was disturbing her, she leaned forward and whispered in Pei Xiaoran's ear:
"Because the master went to Aunt Cheng's as soon as he came back. If Miss wants to see the master, she should go see him tomorrow."

Pei Xiaoran listened, and his heart sank slowly.

It's not that she was disappointed because her dear father didn't come to see her as soon as he came back, because Pei Xiaoran, who has lived for a lifetime, has already seen Pei Xingshan's true face thoroughly, and it is really not surprising that he would do such a thing .

It was the little girl in front of her who had never paid attention to her in her previous life, who gave her a great 'surprise'.

Since the medicine was given to her just now, it means that she is sick now—although she doesn't know what kind of disease she has at this time.

But this girl, at this time, when a girl needs the love of her family the most, ran to the little girl and told her that her father, who had just returned from home for a year, went to someone else's place and could not come. See her, and she can't see her either.

What are your intentions? !
If she really thinks about her master, she should hide the fact that Pei Xingshan went home and went elsewhere, and tell herself tomorrow!
Pei Xiaoran was secretly shocked.

It turned out that someone had been plotting against him since such an early age.

No wonder she suffered a crushing defeat in her previous life, because she was too gullible to the people around her!
She thought that if she was nice to them, they would be nice to herself.

She thought that after getting along for a long time, there would be feelings between her and them, and they could trust and depend on each other like a family.

But the fact is - these are all she thinks.
