stern wife

Chapter 738
Unexpectedly, he gave birth to an extremely handsome face.

White as jade, handsome and flawless, really like a fairy, you can only watch it from a distance but not play with it.

Only in front of his family would he show a smile, as gentle and amiable as before.

Pei Xiaoran unceremoniously stared at his third brother, ready to feast his eyes.

Just looking at it, I saw the other party's expression suddenly became serious, and asked:

"I heard that you are going to marry His Royal Highness the First Prince?"

The imperial decree to bestow marriage came down more than a month ago, and Pei Yuxuan was well informed, so it was impossible not to know about it.

The other party obviously asked this question knowingly.

However, Pei Xiaoran still replied obediently:
"Yes what's the matter?"

Pei Yuxuan's thin lips parted slightly, as if hesitating to speak.

Pei Xiaoran smiled and said:
"Third brother, just say what you want, my family, don't you have any scruples?"

Pei Yuxuan sighed slightly, and said softly:

"I don't know if you have noticed that His Royal Highness King Li of the Great Yin also likes you a little bit?"

Regarding Pei Xiaoran's matter, even if he was not there at the time, Pei Yuxuan would have found out about it from other people afterwards.

He has a delicate mind, and he has long discovered that His Royal Highness Li Wang treats his sister very differently.

Especially when it came to borrowing food back then, even the best of friends would never be so straightforward and generous.

What's more, the two had known each other not long ago, which was enough to see Baili Lieyuan's love for Pei Xiaoran.

Later, the correspondence between the two of them for many years, and the fact that Baili Lieyuan went to see Pei Xiaoran as soon as he came to Suzaku, it can be seen that his sister is not completely indifferent to His Royal Highness Li Wang.

Since the two love each other, why would they agree to the marriage bestowed by the Holy Majesty and marry His Royal Highness the First Prince?
Pei Yuxuan has always wanted to ask Pei Xiaoran, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity.

Hearing this, Pei Xiaoran's expression froze, then he held his round face with both hands, and said with a smile:
"Isn't it normal for someone to like a cute girl like me?"

However, Pei Yuxuan didn't accept this, and just stared at her with a pair of clear and innocent eyes.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious—he had seen through everything.

Knowing that this brother is not easy to fool, Pei Xiaoran's thoughts changed sharply.

Of course, the truth must never be told to him, but the reason we weaved must convince him.

Pretending to be helpless and lowering his hands, Pei Xiaoran's sweet smile turned into a wry smile, and said:
"I really can't hide anything from my third brother."

She sighed a long time, turned her head to look out of the car window, and said quietly:

"I know he likes me.

It's just, what can he do if he likes me?What if I like him?
The identities of each other are there, after all, there is nothing to do with each other. "

This is true.

Pei Xiaoran's identity is sensitive, if he is married to someone other than Suzaku, especially if the other party is also a high-ranking person, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, wondering if she has a double heart.

It's fine for others to doubt, but I'm afraid that even the Holy Majesty will become suspicious in the end, and that would be a big bad thing.

only……

Smart and cunning like her own little sister, would she give up the love in her heart so easily?

Pei Yuxuan was a little skeptical.

However, after thinking about it, my younger sister has always regarded her family as her life.

In order not to hurt her family, she chooses to give up her beloved, which seems to be... completely in line with her little sister's behavior style.

Pei Yuxuan felt distressed and sad for a moment.

He thought, if he didn't have any power, his sister would definitely be able to stay with the person she loves for a lifetime.

But if she were to let go of her power, it would be absolutely impossible.

Because she has worked hard and worked hard for so many years since she was a child, in order to be able to have power and protect her family.

When she had to choose between her family and her lover, she chose her family.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

After a long time, Pei Yuxuan said in a shy voice:

"Actually, me, big brother, and your fourth brother already have enough ability to protect this family.

You...you don't have to worry about us and this family all the time. "

Pei Xiaoran looked back at him, smiled, and said:
"I know.

However, I have already rejected His Royal Highness Li Wang, and I do not regret my decision.

Besides, His Highness the First Prince treats me very well, not necessarily as good as His Highness Li Wang, so the third brother doesn't have to worry about me. "

Pei Yuxuan sighed deeply.

Although brothers and sisters don't have to settle accounts clearly, he knows that their brothers owe Pei Xiaoran, and they will never be able to pay it back in this life.

After returning to Pei's mansion, the two went to Wu's yard together to greet their mother.

Mrs. Wu didn't see her third son for a few days, so she was very happy and hurriedly asked her servants to bring melon and fruit snacks.

He asked carefully about the situation of his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, and was relieved when he learned that everything was fine for them.

It happened that Ji Xueying was also at Wu's place, so they sat down together and chatted about the daily life.

While chatting, Ji Xueying suddenly noticed something was wrong.

She asked strangely:

"Why, didn't your husband come back with you?"

Usually, after Pei Run went to court, he would go home and change his official uniform before going to Daying.

"what?"

Pei Xiaoran and Pei Yuxuan looked at each other subconsciously, and the two of them didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Say it, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be sad.

But don't tell me... Can you hide this matter?

Seeing that the two were silent, Ji Xueying narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked:

"Did something happen?"

"This one……"

Pei Xiaoran scratched his head, trying hard to think of words.

At this moment, a person suddenly walked in from the door.

That man was tall and handsome, who else was it but Pei Runzhi?

"Husband!"

Ji Xueying was the first to discover him, called out, got up and went to meet him, her beautiful face couldn't help but burst into a happy smile, which became more and more soul-stirring.

Pei Runzhi returned a gentle smile, took her hand in a natural way, and went forward to greet Wu Shi.

Then he looked at Pei Xiaoran and Pei Yuxuan, and said with a gentle smile:

"The third brother is back? We haven't seen each other for a while, let's stay and have lunch together.

Later, I will have my younger siblings and nephews brought over, so that our family can have a good get-together. "

Pei Yuxuan nodded and said:

"Okay, listen to the elder brother."

After the two brothers finished speaking, Pei Runzhi looked at Wu Shi, then at Ji Xueying, pursed his lips, and finally said:

"Mother, Xueying, I have something to tell you."

Wu asked with concern:
"What's the matter?"

Ji Xueying felt that her husband was holding her hand tightly, and her heart could not help but also tighten.

It may not be a good thing to have a hunch what the other party is going to say.

Sure enough, Pei Runzhi said:
"The Holy One sent me to station in northern Xinjiang. I will be leaving in ten days."

Wu Shi was taken aback for a moment, then sighed.

Probably already prepared for the children to leave her eventually, Wu did not lose her composure, but said:
"Then go over there, you have to take good care of yourself and don't worry us.

Also, remember to write back on time and report that you are safe. "
