As soon as he saw him, Li'er immediately waved his hand happily: "Dad." Then he ran over.

Pei Yuanxiu waited for her to run to her face and reached out to touch her bun. I carefully tied two pink silk ribbons there, which matched her moon-white and pink-edged skirt today. It made her face even more pink, red and tender, and beautiful, and also playful and lovely.

Pei Yuanxiu looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "Li'er is so beautiful today."

Li'er's eyes narrowed down with a smile, but immediately said, "I'm pretty every day!"

“Yes, it’s beautiful every day.”

He smiled, rubbed Li'er's hair, and then raised his head to look at me.

The moment I looked at each other, my breathing suffocated, and he seemed to have a moment of suffocation.

At that moment, it seemed that even the wind in the air, the water under your feet, and everything around them had stagnated for a moment, but immediately, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

"morning."

"morning."

The two of them greeted each other with a smile.

Li'er, who was standing between me and him, looked up at me and then looked at him. He and I smiled and looked at each other, but after the two greetings, they felt a sense of emptiness and lack, as if they were at a loss for anything to say or do.

Then, all three of them were speechless.

As soon as we were silent, the maids and servants following us were even more afraid to speak. Not only did we not dare to speak, but we didn't even dare to speak out. We all lowered our heads and looked at us carefully.

I am not in charge of this mansion, so I will not care about the skills of these servants and maids listening to the corners of the wall. But these days I have slept with him in separate rooms, and everyone has seen the clues. What's more, I should know the relationship between Pei Yuanhao and Li'er in the past, whose daughter Li'er was, etc. Now the emperor is in Yangzhou, and every day I cross the river to pick up Li'er and get together, which will inevitably arouse many people's speculations; but last night, Pei Yuanxiu and I met late at night, but the tense relationship has not been eased at all. What's more, I came out of his room alone, almost in a daze.

In their opinion, even if the relationship between the young master and his wife is not tense, it will not be as peaceful and peaceful as before.

Perhaps, everyone knows that they are also waiting for an outbreak at some point.

But this time, Pei Yuanxiu and I still disappointed some people. After both of us were silent for a while, he said first: "The carriage has been prepared, let's go."

"Okay, let's go."

As soon as I finished speaking, I held Li'er's hand and walked out with him.

After getting on the carriage, the carriage began to shaking forward.

The same carriage and the same person as yesterday, but the difference is that Li'er no longer has the excitement and joy of climbing up and down like yesterday. She sat between Pei Yuanxiu and me, blinked her big eyes and looked at me, then looked at him, and finally lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of the skirt piled on her knees.

Only three people were left in the carriage breathing, and the monotonous sound made by the wheels hitting the stone road.

Time has never been more difficult than it is now.

Fortunately, the distance is not too long.

When the carriage stopped, the sound of the river gurgling came from outside, and I could clearly hear the sound of my heartbeat sinking.

Pei Yuanxiu still got out of the car first, carried Li'er down, turned around and stretched out his hand to me.

I sat in the carriage, looked at the hand, and then looked at his still gentle pupils and calm face. After a moment of silence, I put my hand in the palm of his hand and held it hard by him. Then I held my waist with the other hand and carried me out of the carriage.

When I got off the car, because I was dizzy and my feet were a little weak, he immediately reached out and put his hands on my waist and I staggered into his arms.

Li'er, who was beside him, looked at us and turned around.

When I bumped into his arms, I raised my head and met his eyes.

There seemed to be a lot of things to say in those familiar and gentle eyes, but they all silently turned into a struggling light. Only that hand, when holding me, exerted force and was particularly hot, and even had the illusion that I would ignite my body the next moment.

I reached out to support him on his chest, and pushed him away with a little force.

Then, he smiled at him.

He didn't laugh, but his eyes became darker.

After pushing him away, I turned my head and like yesterday, the ship docked on the dock early. Today, the fog on the river was even bigger and thicker. As the river water continued to rise and fall, the fog seemed to be uneasy and turbulent. Almost half of the exquisite ship was hidden in the mist, like a pavilion that appeared in the clouds, which would be swept by the wind and taken away by the clouds.

Wu Yanqiu and a few people came over immediately as soon as they saw us.

Li'er looked at them with a smile, but for some reason, I seemed to see a faint loneliness in her eyes.

But that also flashed away, almost like an illusion. Wu Yanqiu had already brought people to us, saluted respectfully, and then smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Master."

I didn't feel like talking for a moment, I just curled the corners of my lips.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "Today, where will your master plan to take his son away?"

"I'm still visiting Yangzhou. You two also know that Yangzhou is so big that there are countless beautiful scenery, and ordinary people can't walk through those beautiful scenery in ten days and half a month."

"When will I send my son back?"

"It's still the same as yesterday, but at the hour of You, Miss Li will definitely be sent back to Jinling safely."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded, lowered his head and gave Li'er a few words. Li'er also nodded and agreed one by one, and then walked to Wu Yanqiu.

Originally, they should have got on the boat, but Wu Yanqiu did not turn around and leave immediately, but looked at me with a smile and said, "Madam, the master has something to ask the servant to come and ask the wife."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I was stunned for a moment.

"Madam, would you like to go with me today?"

“…”

My eyebrows frowned slightly.

This question was asked yesterday. Everyone knows my answer and it will not change within one day, but he actually asked Wu Yanqiu to ask.

I glanced at Wu Yanqiu, then raised my head and looked at the ship behind him.

The fog did not dissipate, but as the river surged thickened and even spread to the dock, the figures of some people in the distance began to blur, and it was even more difficult to see who was there on the ship and what they were doing.

But at this moment, I clearly felt a pair of eyes looking at me quietly in the fog.

I was not anxious or impatient, and I was no longer as sinister and cruel as I had in the past. I was only as cold as the morning mist, just looking at me like this.

However, as if it was mist, my eyes became a little dazed. I looked at the ship, those eyes, the loneliness behind all the prosperity, and finally looked at the ups and downs and surging rivers.

Suddenly, I remembered the past that Pei Yuanxiu talked about last night.

They met Du Yan and the others on the river. I could not imagine how fierce the war had happened that night, and how many scars were left on this Yangtze River. Just looking at the surging river that was surging thousands of miles away, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart.

At that time, I only knew that Pei Yuanhao sent people south and Du Yan and the others tried to cross the river, but I didn’t know how many thrilling things happened in this. Even now, it may have been buried in the turbulent river water, under Du Yan’s cold and cool face, and no one will pursue or ask.

But, that's how things in the world are.

Even if it has been lost and no one cares about it, the world is unconsciously affected by these things.

Think about it now, if it weren't for Du Yan and his friends forcibly crossing the river, Pei Yuanxiu wouldn't have blocked the north-south exchanges on the river after that, then the tragedy of Gu Ping and his family would probably not have...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Neither will.

In this world, there would have been no paper that could cover the fire. The things that Gu Qi did, the Qi sister-in-law poisoned her husband, and finally committed suicide with her daughter. These things would not change in any way because of the blockade on the river.

As for - Han Ruoshi.

Could it be that her persistence and love for Pei Yuanxiu would not have been there without that night?

Of course not.

What Pei Yuanxiu said is correct—

She is the daughter of Jiangxia, who was lost in the family, and he is the former prince who is hopeless.

Such an encounter was originally destined to happen. It would not be cut off because of the surging river water, nor would it end because of my appearance.

After all, it is me who is not sober.

It's me that shouldn't have appeared.

But - at that time Li'er was next to him. Even though I knew that I shouldn't appear in front of him, I shouldn't appear between him and Han Ruoshi, or Han Zitong, if God asked everything to start over, I still had no choice and had to appear to find my daughter.

This may be a choice given by fate and cannot be avoided.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile faintly.

I think I am very able to accept all the arrangements of God and understand that fairness among many things is not that comfortable, but even so, God does not seem to have any sympathy for me, and the choices I give me often have no way out.

How ridiculous.

How sad.

I smiled again.

I was silent all the time, with a faint, almost cold smile on my face, and the people around me, especially Pei Yuanxiu, seemed to suddenly become nervous at this moment, and their eyes were brightly looked at me.

Before I could react, Li'er's face was filled with anticipation and looked back at me: "Mom, are you going together too?"
