stern wife

Chapter 739
Pei Runzhi nodded obediently, and said:
"I will, mother."

Then he turned to look at Ji Xueying.

However, he saw that the other party did not speak, but his face turned slightly pale.

Pei Runzhi immediately said:

"Mother, third brother, Xiaoran, you guys talk first, I'll go back and change clothes."

He had just returned from the palace, before he had time to change into the court clothes, he came to say hello to Mrs. Wu.

However, everyone knew that his real purpose was not to change clothes, so they all nodded tacitly.

Pei Runzhi saluted Wu again, and then led Ji Xueying to turn and leave.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until they returned to their small courtyard and entered their bedroom that Ji Xueying withdrew her hand, turned around and threw herself into Pei Runzhi's arms.

Pei Run subconsciously raised his arms to wrap her around her, and subconsciously exerted some force to hold her tightly in his arms.

In the past, because Ji Xueying easily left marks on her body, Pei Runzhi was always cautious, for fear of hurting her.

Only today is a little different.

Because of the farewell in ten days, I don't know how long it will take to see you again.

If you don't hug each other to your heart's content at this time, when will you wait?

Although Suzaku stipulated that the generals stationed at the border all the year round could bring their wives and children, Pei Runzhi didn't want to take them to suffer.

The environment in the frontier is harsh, the food is rough, and there may be war at any time, so it is not safe.

It is a torment to a person's body and mind.

Some men can't hold on, let alone women and Jiaoer?
Therefore, even though he knew that the separation between the two places would lead to lovesickness, Pei Runzhi decided to keep them at home.

The two hugged each other for a long time, until they felt their chests wet, and then they let go.

Feeling distressed, she wiped away the tears on the other party's face with her fingertips, but the other party turned her face away, not wanting him to see her ugly face when she was crying.

Ji Xueying wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and asked in a strong nasal voice:
"You... when are you coming back?"

Pei Runzhi sighed lightly and said:
"I don't know either. I have to wait for the Holy Spirit to summon me before I can come back."

Military generals stationed abroad are usually not allowed to return to Beijing without a summons, otherwise they will be regarded as treason.

Ji Xueying couldn't get a definite answer, she didn't even have a hope, she felt even more uncomfortable, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

She threw herself into Pei Runzhi's arms again, sobbing uncontrollably.

Pei Runzhi felt distressed, and he was clumsy and didn't know how to comfort him, so he raised his hand and patiently stroked the other person's back over and over again, silently comforting him.

In fact, why is he not sad?
It's just that as a man, as a husband, he must be strong in order to be able to carry this family.

It took some time before Ji Xueying finally calmed down.

Pei Runzhi asked his servants to bring warm water, twisted the cloth towel himself, and gently wiped away the wet marks on Ji Xueying's cheeks.

Someone brought hot tea again and handed it to her.

Ji Xueying suddenly grabbed his hand, looked up at him, and said:
"Husband, I...I want you."

Pei Runyi was startled, his handsome face flushed slightly, and he asked in surprise:
"Now?"

Ji Xueying nodded firmly.

She knew who she was marrying, and she also knew that he would eventually leave her and go to the battlefield.

She couldn't keep him at all, and couldn't.

But she needed him and loved him so much.

This feeling has never been so strong at this moment, so that she can't even care about being shy.

Seeing those crystal clear eyes and the affection in them, Pei Runzhi's heart suddenly softened like cotton wool, and he nodded in response:
"it is good."

At noon, the family finally got together rarely.

Except for Pei Yanhe who was outside, everything else was ready.

Even Wuming, who heard the news, rushed over to eat.

Looking at the bustling and harmonious scene in front of her, Wu couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Back then, they were just a few people, but now, they are already a big family.

Isn't the reason why people come to this world is the scene in front of them?

Wuming did not know when he stood beside Wu Shi, and together with Wu Shi, looked at the group of energetic children in front of him, and there was a rare bit of warmth in his usually cold eyes.

After a long time, he turned his head to look at Wu Shi, and said:

"The children have grown up, and you have worked hard."

Wu Shi was startled for a moment, then her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help lowering her head.

Everyone in the world knows that it is hard for a man to make money and support his family, but who knows the pain of a woman?

The pain of childbirth and the difficulty of raising children seem to be something women should have to suffer, and no one has ever sympathized with them.

Even her husband, whom she had the closest relationship with, never said 'hard work' to her.

Now, an 'outsider' understands her sadness, understands her years of devotion and forbearance, how can she not be moved by it?

Wu said softly:
"For them, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it."

Wuming sighed lightly, took out his handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to Wu Shi.

This is probably the most intimate move he can do to Wu Shi so far.

Wu himself naturally has a veil.

But looking at the pair of eyes that were looking at him tenderly, he hesitated again and again, but raised his hand slightly, and took the dark blue brocade handkerchief.

"Aunt, aunt..."

Two little ghosts surrounded Pei Xiaoran, chattering excitedly, and they were Pei Yuxuan's eldest son, Pei Junqing, and youngest daughter, Pei Junwan.

They haven't seen the busy aunt for several days, and they are telling her interesting things they have encountered.

Pei Xiaoran listened patiently, nodded from time to time, and echoed twice.

It's just that Pei Junyue, who usually likes to cling to Pei Xiaoran, is just sitting quietly at the table with his hands on his chin, looking a little depressed.

Pei Xiaoran had noticed him a long time ago, and after listening to the daily life of the two little devils, he stuffed two small teacups filled with warm water into their hands one by one, letting them moisten their throats.

Then she got up and sat beside Pei Junyue.

Pei Xiaoran stroked his soft hair, then patted his immature shoulders, and asked softly:
"Aren't you reluctant to part with your father?"

Pei Junyue glanced at her and nodded obediently.

He already knew the news that his father was about to leave.

He didn't understand why his father didn't take them along, but when he thought that from now on, his father would no longer be by his and mother's side, he felt sad for a while.

Pei Xiaoran didn't tell him the truth that his father was going to defend the country and the people.

Because she understands that the reluctance and nostalgia of being separated from her loved ones cannot be healed by any principle.

She has also been separated from her family countless times, so she naturally understands this feeling.

Pei Xiaoran thought for a while, and said:

"If you really miss your father, come to me, and I will escort you and your mother to see your father."
