After hearing what he said, I was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced down.

Li'er in my arms has been looking at me quietly. Maybe because she is close to her mother's heart, she seems to be able to feel my fear and worry. It has never been so quiet as tonight, and there is no noise at all. She bows her head when I

When looking at her, the child blinked and smiled.

This smile is so pure that it makes people's hearts soften, but the uneasiness in my heart becomes heavier and heavier.

I don’t know when he came here, and how long he has been staring at our family, but from tonight, it seems that he is not surprised by me or the children. In other words, he knows all this, so of course he also

It is not difficult to know that I was pregnant when I married Liu Saner.

As the days passed, it became clear that he should have known that this was his flesh and blood.

I gritted my teeth, then slowly stretched out my hand and handed the child over.

This time, he quickly came over and reached out to take the child.

He was also very careful, the movements of his hands were deliberately gentle, and even his breathing stopped for a moment, as if he was afraid that the heavy breath would hurt this weak life. The child was held in his arms, and he looked down,

Under the long and dense eyelashes, there is a soft light in those dark eyes, like thousands of years of ice being hit by the spring breeze, softening the spring water.

Li'er also looked up at him, with a look of astonishment on his little face, as if he had suddenly arrived in a new world, saw new people, and was a little overwhelmed, looking at him with big black eyes.

.

The two people, one large and one small, just stared at each other without making any sound for a long time.

Pei Yuanhao seemed to think for a moment and made a purring sound to her. When the child heard it, he immediately started to giggle.

When the child smiled, he smiled too, and the thin smile lines at the corners of his eyes revealed indescribable joy.

Seeing this scene, I don’t know why, but I just felt sad and subconsciously turned my head away.

Liu San'er laughed when he saw them like this and said: "I usually want Li'er to laugh. I have to pick her up and fly her. She has to fly very high before she is willing to laugh like this. Mr. Yuan is quite happy.

You know how to amuse children. Do you already have children at home?"

Pei Yuanhao seemed startled for a moment and looked up at him: "Yes."

"That's no wonder."

I stood aside, my heart beating slightly.

Of course he has children, and he doesn't need a woman to give birth to him. Xu Youling gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and Li'er... maybe there will be many princes and princesses in the future...

Thinking of this, my heart tightened slightly and I looked up at him.

What would he do if he knew Li'er was his child? Would a person like him let his blood flow outside? Or would he simply want to——

When I thought of this, my fingertips became cold, but the two men didn't seem to notice it at all. They were all surrounding their daughter. Pei Yuanhao said: "Let me put the chain on her."

"Well, okay."

Liu San'er handed him the pendant, and he reached out to take it. The shining golden orchid button was right in front of the child's eyes. The smile on Li'er's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at it with dark eyes and suddenly made a "wow" sound.

Cry loudly.

"Huh?"

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and Liu Saner hurriedly coaxed: "What's wrong? What's wrong with Li'er?"

He reached out and carefully patted the swaddling clothes. This was how he usually coaxed the baby, but Li'er didn't care. He glanced at the pendant and cried louder. Pei Yuanhao frowned, and Liu San'er had already reached out to take it.

After giving birth to the child, he carefully held it in his arms, rocked it, and coaxed it.

"Oh, don't cry if Li'er doesn't cry, don't cry if you don't cry!"

Li'er cried so hard that her face turned red. She was held in Liu San'er's arms and her face was buried in his chest. Her little hands subconsciously scratched his clothes, and her crying slowly subsided.<

/p>

Pei Yuanhao stood in front of him, holding the pendant in his hand, frozen.

Liu San'er looked at him with some embarrassment and said: "Master Yuan, don't be offended, maybe Li'er is in denial. I have never seen such a thing, I'm afraid I was frightened."

"..." He was silent for a moment, and finally made a smile: "It doesn't matter."

Having said that, there was a shadow between his eyebrows. He took the pendant and took another step forward. Li'er was sobbing. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the shining golden pendant. His mouth tightened and he was about to cry again.

Get up.

Liu San'er seemed to have sensed something, and hurriedly reached out to cover Li'er's face.

At this time, I finally walked over, took Li'er from his arms, turned my back to them, and carefully coaxed the child. Li'er was coaxed by me, and then he slowly calmed down again.
p>

I tilted my head slightly and said, "Since she doesn't like it, why force her to do it?"

As soon as this sentence came out, I was slightly shocked.

One night, from the moment I saw him, I was cautious, not daring to say another word or take one more step, but this sentence came out just like that.

Maybe it doesn't matter what I am like, but for my daughter, everything has just begun.

I didn't look back, but I seemed to be able to feel his gaze, which was as cold as ice in the depth. When he stared at me, even my back was chilling. After a long silence, he slowly said:

"It's a good thing, why don't you like it?"

I bit my lower lip and turned around: "No matter how good she is -"

"Light." Before he finished speaking, Liu San'er had already walked up to me, stretched out his hand to touch my shoulders, lowered his head and looked at me with a slight frown, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, as if he was asking me - you

What's wrong?

I was a little at a loss myself. Looking at him, I finally slowly lowered my head.

Liu Saner looked at me, seeming to be a little confused. He was silent for a while, then slowly turned his head to look at Pei Yuanhao. His dark eyes were slightly clouded by the candlelight. He paused and reluctantly said

Smiling: "Sorry, Mr. Yuan, maybe my daughter really doesn't like such things."

Pei Yuanhao's face was a little gloomy. He looked at him and suddenly smiled: "It doesn't matter."

After saying that, he released the pendant.

The child stopped crying, but still made a whining sound from his little mouth. He huddled in my arms, like a frightened little animal, trembling slightly. Liu Saner stood aside, with a trace of anger between his eyebrows.

There was a deep feeling, and for a while, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a long attendant came to the door and said, "Young Master."

"What's the matter?"

"The head of Jixiang Village came with a few people."

Village chief? I raised my head and looked at them in confusion. Why did the village chief bring people here?

He glanced at us and said calmly: "Let them wait in the side hall."

"Yes."

The commander followed the order and went down. He looked back at us and said, "I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. Sorry, you two."

Liu San'er said: "Young Master Yuan is very polite."

After saying that, both of them bowed their hands, and Pei Yuanhao turned around and walked out.

We were the only ones left in the room. Liu Saner watched him go out, then slowly turned around and looked at me with a dazed look in his eyes. He slowly walked up to me and said, "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"

?"

"..."

"Why did you look so unhappy just now?"

"..."

"You've never been like this. Why do you seem to be a little - a little uneasy when you come here tonight?"

"..."

"Light..." He hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said: "Why do I feel that you don't like Mr. Yuan very much."

My heart palpitated, and I quickly said: "Oh, no. I just--I feel a little uncomfortable tonight. Besides, Li'er cried like that just now. She has never cried like this before."

Liu Saner still looked at me with some doubts. I quickly changed the topic and asked: "By the way, I just heard them say that the village chief came to see Mr. Yuan for something?"

Liu San'er said: "Oh, Mr. Yuan helped buy dry goods in the village."

"What?"

"This year, the dry goods in the village could not be sold at high prices. Mr. Yuan happened to come over and said that he wanted to do this business and send some goods to the capital. The village chief was very grateful to him, so he brought people over to thank him for his help."

My brows wrinkled slightly.

He came to help buy dry goods in the village?

What's going on? I only listened to what Wei Ningyuan said, and with his appearance this time, I also understood that he was traveling incognito, taking advantage of the slowdown in the war in the north to find a fundamental way to govern Jiangnan.

It may be a coincidence or premeditation that he rescued Liu San'er, but it's not beyond common sense. But why did he make a deal with the people in the village?

To say that the dry goods in the village cannot be sold is just a loss of capital. This is a common thing in the lives of ordinary people. Why would he care about such "nosy affairs"?

Although I know that he has the people of Jiangnan in his heart, he is by no means a person who knows how to clean a house. Moreover, he made the village chief and the villagers be grateful to him, and yet he went to meet him so late. This is not like his usual style.<
