Did Miss become a nun today?

Xie Yun Chu wanted to say something, but she was afraid that he wouldn't like to hear it and would get even angrier, and would do something bad to her again, so she kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Pei Changyu pinched her chin, lifted her head, and examined her for a while. "You've lost weight."

How did Wei Zhao take care of you?

Xie Yun Chu dared not say anything more. Since leaving the capital, she had never been sober. Wei Zhao would give her soup laced with sleeping pills every two days. Coupled with the long journey, her appetite was already poor, so it was inevitable that she would lose weight.

She glanced at him discreetly; his expression was normal, not angry at all.

But my older cousin always kept his emotions hidden; even if he was furious, you couldn't tell.

"Cousin, don't be angry, Wei Zhao..."

Pei Changyu pinched her cheek, his lips slightly pouting, "What... what are you doing?"

"You still think about him."

No, no.

"Really not?"

Xie Yun Chu suddenly felt a little wronged. Even if she really cared about someone, what did it have to do with him?

Compared to others, he was the most outrageous one.

She couldn't help but shed tears, feeling utterly useless, unable to fight back against anyone, and vulnerable to being bullied by everyone.

It's so frustrating.

Pei Changyu was initially angry, but upon seeing the person cry, his heart softened completely. He hugged the person and gently coaxed, "Alright, don't cry. I didn't say anything."

He gently patted her back, just like he would when she was a child, but unfortunately Xie Yun Chu was no longer the little girl who could be coaxed with a piece of candy.

Her tears fell harder and harder, her shoulders trembled slightly, and they soaked his clothes.

Pei Changyu suddenly remembered that when she was six years old and had just come to the Marquis's mansion, she would have nightmares in the middle of the night and cry like this, hiding under the covers, afraid of being discovered.

He was sitting on the edge of the bed, not knowing how to comfort her, so he held her hand and told her a story, and she stopped crying as soon as he started.

"Don't cry, shall I tell you a story?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then cried even harder.

Who in this world is more miserable than her? She's crying like this, and Pei Changyu still wants to lecture her!

She was like this when she was little. Whenever she cried, I would tell her about the literary knowledge in the books, and I would say that I was telling her stories. Who wants to listen to stories about classical Chinese?

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore."

Pei Changyu wiped away her tears, but his words always carried a threatening tone, "I know it's not your fault. You didn't want to leave me; those people forced you, right?"

Xie Yun Chu dared not deny it, nor did she dare admit it; she just lowered her head and cried.

Pei Changyu patted her back, "Don't cry, okay? I'll do whatever you want."

She bit her lip. "I want to become a nun."

"Change to another one."

"there is none left."

She refused to speak anymore, a silent protest.

Pei Changyu pinched her cheek. "Didn't you ask me to help you get revenge last time? Don't you want to know how it went?"

I don't really want to know anymore.

Pei Changyu said to himself, "I investigated Grand Tutor Lu's whereabouts over the years and found out about Changning."

"Didn't you also send people to investigate who lives in that house south of Changning City?"

Xie Yun Chu sniffed. "Who?"

"Speaking of which, it has something to do with you."

Pei Changyu remained silent, staring intently at her.

"Why did you stop talking?"

He leaned closer, "Kiss me, and I'll tell you."

Xie Yun Chu took a step back. "Then don't say anything more. I don't want to know."

She had just taken a step back when she was pulled back. "But I want to tell you..."

Not wanting to be taken advantage of, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the corner of her mouth. "The Shen family lives in that house."

Xie Yunchu didn't immediately realize what the Shen family had to do with her.

But then I thought, the Shen family... her maternal grandfather's family?

"Don't you want to see him?"

She had never met her maternal grandparents and had no feelings for them to begin with. Not to mention that she was going to become a nun in the future, there was even less need for her to meet them.

"No need, there's nothing to see."

Pei Changyu chuckled, "So heartless?"

"Never mind, as long as you only have me in your heart."

Xie Yun Chu couldn't help but roll her eyes. Sorry, she only had Buddha in her heart.

She stayed at the inn for a few more days until the effects of the sleeping pills wore off, and then Pei Changyu set off to prepare for her return journey.

On the day of departure, Wei Zhao was dressed in black armor, followed by more than ten personal guards.

He stared intently at the carriage, trying to see through the curtain.

They waited outside with their men, looking like they were about to block the road.

Pei Changyu, on the other hand, was relaxed, playing with her hand, "Look, I'm trying to seduce you again."

"Is he as good-looking as me?"

"Will I be able to serve you?"

Xie Yun Chu closed her eyes. A vixen! A madwoman!

Pei Changyu stared at her but smiled without saying a word. Finally, he lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, suddenly pulled her into his arms, and leaned down to kiss her.

He slightly raised his eyes, meeting Wei Zhao's gaze from outside, and a blatant provocation appeared on his lips.

Xie Yun Chu tried to struggle, but he restrained her with one hand, deepening the kiss.

The once long and tender kiss turned urgent, and he grabbed her waist and pressed her down on top of him.

After a long while, he finally loosened his grip, moved to Xie Yun Chu's ear and gently licked it, then slowly moved to the side of her neck. He raised his head, smiled, and slightly pulled open Xie Yun Chu's clothes. Just before revealing her skin, he lowered the curtain.

His people are not to be coveted by just anyone. To think that you can take advantage of his kindness to touch what you shouldn't have is just dreaming.

Xie Yun Chu couldn't see behind her and didn't know why this person, who seemed perfectly fine, had suddenly started going crazy.

"What are you doing now?" she whispered, afraid that people outside would hear.

Pei Changyu seemed to be in a good mood. "It's nothing."

He put her down and told her, "Stay in the car and be a good girl. I'm going out to check."

Wei Zhao tightened his grip on the reins, but just as Pei Changyu came out, his thumb brushed against his lips, as if he were savoring something.

"Pei Changyu, leave the person here."

"General Wei, what a show of power! His Majesty has ordered you to return to the border. If you fail to do so on time, you will be guilty of treason."

Wei Zhao sneered, "Outsiders all say that the eldest son of the Pei family is gentle and refined, a true gentleman. But now it seems that he is nothing more than someone who uses his position to settle personal scores."

"Are you in such a hurry to transfer me to the border because you're afraid Miss Xie won't like you and will fall for me instead?"

"Is Young Master Pei lacking in self-confidence?"

Although Wei Zhao was a martial artist, his words were always designed to pierce people's hearts.

Pei Changyu was not annoyed and still had that smiling look on his face. "General Wei, His Majesty approved your transfer order to the Ministry of War at the border. It was stamped with the seal of the Minister. You should know that the northern barbarians are restless. The court used your abilities, but you changed your route on your own. I even had to help you keep it a secret. General Wei, you should thank me."

Wei Zhao was speechless with anger at his words, his face turned ashen, the veins on his hand holding the reins throbbed, and he leaped off his horse.

The black armor rattled as he approached in two or three steps, and the Pei family guards drew their swords and shielded him.

"Get out of the way." Wei Zhao's voice was gloomy, his eyes wide with anger.

Pei Changyu raised his hand, gesturing for the guards to step back. "General Wei, do you truly intend to stop us?"

"Pei Changyu, you call yourself a scholar, yet you are so despicable; you are truly contemptible."

"General Wei spoke with such certainty, as if he wasn't much better off than me."

Some things, once done, are done. He wasn't a good person, but what kind of gentleman was Wei Zhao?

Xie Yun Chu had been under the influence of sleeping pills for the past few days without stopping, making her intentions quite obvious.

What heroes who defend their country, what generals who are loyal to the emperor, aren't they just like him, harboring such despicable thoughts?

Wei Zhao suddenly stepped forward and touched his collar. Pei Changyu's expression changed, and he staggered back a few steps, exclaiming in surprise and clutching his chest, looking weak.

"General Wei, if you can't win with words, you're resorting to violence."

Hearing the commotion outside, Xie Yun Chu lifted the curtain and looked out. She saw Wei Zhao looking down at her with a fierce expression. Pei Chang Yu was holding onto the edge of the carriage, his clothes were torn, probably from when he stumbled, and even the back of his hand was red.

She jumped out of the car, and he immediately steadied himself, pulling his hands back into his sleeves. "Why did you come out?"

She frowned, staring at his sleeve. "Are you injured?"

Pei Changyu smiled and shook his head, showing great understanding. "It's alright, General Wei probably didn't do it on purpose."
