"Or, do you want to know, how would I treat her?"
Pei Yuanxiu's eyes sank for a moment. He looked at me and said slowly: "I don't know how you will treat her. As for how I will treat her-"
“…”
"You will know in the future."
I looked at his dark eyes. I had clearly grasped everything just now, but at this moment, I felt a chill rising from my heart. I subconsciously held my hand tightly, and then I found that my palm was empty, even a little chill.
I turned my head and avoided his gaze.
"Light..."
He called my name gently, and supported one hand on the car board in front of me. I frowned and hurriedly avoided him. But in this originally spacious car, when he approached me, it became extremely narrow, and even felt depressed when he even breathed. When he stepped back, his back hit the cold car board again. He slowly approached me, looked down at my eyes, and said softly in my ear: "I have told you that everything I did is for our future."
“…”
"No matter whether you want it or not, I will have you in my future."
I just felt that my breath was about to be suffocated, and gritted my teeth and said, "What if, what if I want to go out?"
He lowered his head, pressed his ears, and said word by word: "You can't get out."
This sentence is like a curse.
I raised my head and looked at him, and he also looked at my eyes and said in a deep voice: "Liangying, even if I die, your shadow will be taken into the underworld by me."
At this moment, I slowly raised my head and looked into his eyes.
He looked at me, and his eyes suddenly had a faint smile, even a little gentle—
"We, keep pestering."
In this small carriage, I heard his oath like a curse to me. Outside this bumpy carriage, a long line was stepping on smoke and dust. After leaving Huaian Prefecture, I slowly headed towards the north, as if I was entering his future...

After leaving Huai'an, our pace of progress accelerated.
After passing Xuzhou, Jining, and Jinan, we were about to arrive in Cangzhou, and as we slowly approached the capital, the weather became colder and colder.
From south to north, there is no time that allows people to appreciate a season like this, but since there are two different styles. There are winds and bone-bone cold in the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, but that kind of coldness slowly penetrates through the outside of the clothes and then penetrates the muscles and bones, making people not feel it yet, but winter has already reached the heart.
The winter in the north is different. He is very popular and is blown hard by the bitter north wind, as if he is about to punch into a person's body, roaring wildly to impress every creature on this earth.
Our carriage kept driving on the official road, and slowly entered the cold and humid wind from the south, the cold wind from the north, with the heavy snow ball hitting the car board, and the howling cold wind outside often made people unable to sleep all night.
I am not unfamiliar with such winters.
But Han Ruoshi was obviously much sadder.
Since leaving Huai'an, we have also stayed in several places halfway through. Naturally, like Huai'an Prefecture, the powerful gentry who raised an army to occupy the prefecture came to greet each other. All of them lived in beautiful halls with carved beams and painted pillars. However, perhaps intentionally, or unintentionally - I almost never met Han Ruoshi again.
Even those people held banquets and entertainment, she would avoid them.
After two or three times, I understood very well.
She is avoiding me.
In fact, since she became pregnant, the situation between us has undergone an interesting change.
Overnight, she went from being a hunter to prey.
Both of us are pregnant, but compared to me, I knew that I was pregnant from the beginning that I didn’t want this child. She obviously loved the fetus in her womb. This child was almost the most important bet in her life. The bet was naturally the rear position she dreamed of. One regarded it as a treasure, the other did not care about it. Such a fight would immediately appear.
She can't afford to lose.
Even if I don't do anything now, it's enough to make her panic, so she is so cautious and doesn't even dare to meet me.
The love of licking the baby is deep, but most people can understand this kind of relationship.
However, when I looked down at my rising belly, my mood became much more complicated.
In fact, when I was pregnant at the beginning, I kept asking myself why I wanted to get pregnant with his baby?
No one answered me, and God, it was like he was deliberately trying to tease me and my life like this, but it made me pregnant with his child.
For the sake of the people in Yangzhou, I left him behind.
In order to save the people in Huai'an, I didn't touch him either.
When I left Huai'an and Pei Yuanxiu told me that he would no longer use anyone's life to threaten me, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. The evil thoughts deep in my heart that could hardly be resorted to, slowly surged into my heart.
Maybe, I can—
I almost thought about this in my heart and felt indescribable feeling from my lower abdomen.
This has been the case these days. Whenever the thoughts that I dare not face in my mind, whenever I reach out to hold my stomach and exert a little force involuntarily, he will feel as if he sensed the murderous intent in his mother's heart, sensed his uneasy situation, and made some noise.
This child seems to be using this method to tell me that he wants to survive.
But what can we do if we survive?
Even if other people don’t know, I understand very well that for Pei Yuanxiu, entering Beijing represents the beginning of another war, and in this war, I will also have this child.
In the imperial city, there have always been many things that fathers and sons are in conflict with each other.
I have seen enough of this kind of life and lived enough. Is it worth an innocent life to be deeply trapped in it?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are you willing?"
My hands trembled and reached into my lower abdomen, feeling a slight trembling. I don’t know if it was the movement of the child in my stomach or whether I was trembling slightly.
The thin fingers slowly closed, pinched into a fist, and then slowly lifted up.
Just punch the lower abdomen.
Or, hit hard.
I know that this month is the most unstable time for the fetus. Even in these few days, even in the short term, Pei Yuanxiu ordered that the speed of traveling slowed down. With just one moment, or even an accident, the child would completely disappear from the world.
I kept chanting silently in my heart, as if I had recited a spell for myself.
But under such a spell, the fist was slowly released and gently put back on his lower abdomen. With just pressing it, he felt a calming moment.
I don't know how many times this is.
Every time, I want to harden my heart and end this little life in my belly, but every time at the end, I can't make up my mind. As the days pass by day, it's February 18th, our team is getting closer and closer to the city, and my belly is getting bigger and bigger.
But I still didn't make a break for myself.
After all, it's still my own child.
After all, I still can't bear it.
I looked down at my stomach, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and murmured: "I'm really useless."
At this moment, the carriage stopped.
The curtain was lifted up by one hand. Although it was only a small one, the cold wind outside immediately poured in, washing the warm fragrance that the incense burner smelled in this carriage.
Pei Yuanxiu was standing outside, looking at me.
Looking at one of my hands and put them on my lower abdomen.
I don't know if it was because the wind was too strong and too cold, his face froze slightly, but the next moment, it seemed as if nothing had happened and nothing had been seen, and he said softly: "Light, we're here."
The sound, probably because it was in the wind, also trembled a little.
“…”
I didn't say anything, slowly put my hand down and moved to the door. He held my hand and helped me out of the car.
The sky was full of wind and snow, and I couldn't even see the farther place.
Only in front of me was a small building standing in the wind and snow, and the two lanterns shaking at the door seemed to be extinguished in the wind at any time.
I frowned: "Where is this?"
“Station.”
"The post station? Didn't you say you were going to Cangzhou?"
Xie Feng walked over from the side and said, "Cangzhou cannot be gone for the time being."
"Why?"
“…”
“…”
The two of them looked at each other without saying a word. Pei Yuanxiu said, "Go in and rest first. It's heavy snow outside."
I glanced at him and saw that Han Ruoshi had already come down on another carriage, surrounded by several servants and maids. I could hardly see her face, but she saw that her body was covered with thick wind flasks, covering her head, and walked into the inn.
I nodded and followed me in.
A wall is separated by apart, but it seems like four seasons are separated.
It was as warm as spring suddenly, and the fire was booming. Even those who came to serve were blushing and smiling. It was indeed much more comfortable than those who followed each other, whose faces were blown by the cold wind, who had no expression on their faces.
Although this place is just a station, it is obvious that someone has arranged it first. A few simple rooms suddenly appeared soft and gorgeous brocade quilts and some exquisite tools. When I walked into the room they arranged, I even saw a bronze mirror on the table.
I saw a lot of such treatment along the way, of course, the powerful and powerful gentry in Cangzhou wanted to please him.
But strangely, this inn is clearly close to Cangzhou, and it is not until late at night that you can’t walk, so why should you stop at this time?
I felt something was wrong, but I didn't ask any more questions. I just had a rest in that room, closed my eyes and rested, waiting for the people below to come up when I heard a sound of horse hooves coming from the wind and snow.
Someone is here again?
