stern wife

Chapter 62
After eating and drinking, it was already late at night, and the sleepiness was on the rise. The ladies followed the maids to disperse. Pei Xiaoran and Fu Wenyi also followed Wu back to the main hall where he was resting. The two sisters Pei Huayu followed them far away, unwilling to approach Like them.

Wu asked her daughter a little strangely: "What's wrong with your two younger sisters? Why don't I talk to them when I talk to them?"

Pei Xiaoran smiled indifferently and said:
"Mother, don't worry, the two of them had a little misunderstanding with me, and they are losing their temper with me."

Wu Shi smiled, raised her hand to touch the girl's soft and cool hair, and said softly:

"Don't have any quarrels with your sisters. If there is any misunderstanding, speak up quickly, so as not to cause trouble."

"Understood, mother, don't worry."

Wu sighed lightly, let go of this matter, and worried about another matter, and asked:

"Xiaoran, you... really you shot the tiger to death and saved the Holy Majesty?"

When the tiger attacked, she also caught sight of the beast. It was strong and huge. Just looking at it made one's legs weak. How old is her daughter?How could it be possible to take down that fierce tiger alone?
Even though when she returned to the banquet, the attitudes of the wives towards her and the way they looked at her were completely different from before, in Wu's heart, she still couldn't believe that her daughter did this.

Pei Xiaoran scratched her head, alas... She knew her mother would definitely ask about this.

She considered the words and said slowly:

"Mother should still remember that the Holy One bestowed five masters to teach me martial arts..."

Wu's heart tightened, and she looked down at her.

Of course she knew about it, even her daughter's name was bestowed by the Holy God, she also knew.

Since it was bestowed by the sage, she certainly did not dare to disobey it, but, the rewards belong to the rewards, Wu never thought that her daughter would really become the pillar of the country in the future as those fortune tellers said.

She thinks it is nonsense, nothing to say, when Pei Xiaoran grows up, she will help her daughter find a good marriage, as for those generals and the like... It is empty talk, even if the Holy One wants to blame it, he will blame it Do not come over their heads.

Of course, she didn't look down on her daughter, it's just that Suzaku had never had a woman go to war, and she didn't want her precious daughter to go to such a dangerous place.

Therefore, as for the five masters bestowed upon Pei Xiaoran by the Holy Majesty, in Wu's view, their role was at best to help her daughter keep fit.

It's just that she never expected that her daughter would become so powerful under their teaching!

Pei Xiaoran looked up at her, and said softly:
"Mother, I did shoot the tiger to death, and I was able to shoot the tiger to death because of my masters."

Of course, her kung fu at this time in her previous life was not so good, but with the experience and skills of her previous life, even if she is still young and not strong enough in this life, as long as she has skills and accuracy, it is not difficult to hit with one hit.

But this kind of thing can't be said, otherwise her mother will be scared to death, so I can only put the pot on the heads of the five masters first.

Wu frowned and remained silent.

But if she didn't speak, Pei Xiaoran could know what she was thinking.

Because it was like this in her previous life, when she tentatively asked her mother if she could go to the battlefield for the first time, her mother immediately refused.

Apart from being a woman, there was another very important reason... At that time, her elder brother had already died in battle.

In order to prevent her mother from worrying about her anymore, she finally agreed that she would not go to the battlefield.

But not long after she got married, her mother left. For the sake of that man's country, she still violated the promise she made at the beginning, put on armor and led the army to fight.

Now, she has exposed her talent in martial arts in front of her mother early, and in order to prevent those prophecies from coming true, her mother may prevent her from continuing to learn from the five masters.

Sure enough, after frowning and thinking for a while, Wu Shi spoke again:

"However, do you... really like learning martial arts? Tell mother the truth."

Pei Xiaoran nodded without thinking, and said:
"I like it. And I hope that in the future, I can lead troops to fight, wipe out foreign enemies, and protect the safety of the people."

Wu Shi stopped, looked down at her in surprise, and asked:
"Who taught you that?"

Pei Xiaoran shook his head, and said seriously:

"No one taught me, I thought of it myself."

Wu raised her hand and gently pinched her cheek, saying:
"Stupid child, leading soldiers to fight is not as simple as you imagined, and war is not a child's play, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, there...is not the place for you to go."

But Pei Xiaoran had to go to the battlefield, otherwise he would not be able to gain the power and ability to protect his relatives.

Even if it makes her mother worry about her, it's better than being suppressed and tortured to death by those ruthless people in the mansion!
Pei Xiaoran blinked, looked straight at Wu Shi, and asked expectantly:
"I will practice martial arts and learn the art of war hard, so I won't lose my life. In this way, will mother let me go to war?"

Looking at her bright and firm eyes, Wu Shi clearly wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say anything.

In the end, she could only sigh and said:
"Let's talk about the future."

She still had a little luck in her heart, even if Pei Xiaoran wanted to go to war, Suzaku did not have a precedent for a woman to go to war, so it might not be what it will be like by then.

She went on to exhort:
"However, in the future, you should not do such dangerous things again. It may be just a fluke that you can shoot the tiger today. When you encounter danger next time, if you are not sure, you must not make a move. Remember?"

Pei Xiaoran nodded his head vigorously, and said with a smile:

"remember!"

Returning to the resting hall, Mrs. Wu saw that Pei Xingshan hadn't come back, and Pei Huayu and her sisters didn't want to talk to her, so they didn't tell her about Pei Xingshan still kneeling in front of the jade steps. Mrs. Wu thought that Pei Xingshan was still talking to his colleagues Drinking and chatting together, I took the girls to rest first.

At dawn, Zhao Shuncai appeared in front of Pei Xingshan who had been kneeling in the middle of the night, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Master Pei is tired, His Majesty has just sent a message to tell you not to kneel anymore, you should go back and rest."

He knew that Pei Xingshan had been kneeling for several hours, and his legs must be uncomfortable now. He wanted to reach out to help him, but the other party ungratefully avoided him, and he slowly stood up.

Zhao Shun curled his lips secretly, retracted his hand very naturally, and continued to laugh:
"The words have been brought, and the servant has returned."

"and many more."

Pei Xingshan stopped him and asked in a deep voice:

"Did Your Majesty say anything else?"
