She didn't stop Ji Qingyao from going hunting in the mountains when she saw she was pregnant. In her heart, she still hoped that the child in her belly would not be born. Ji Qingyao didn't know all this.
Pei Mingche's life at home became increasingly difficult. He was already nineteen years old, but his family had no plans to marry him, and he was not willing to marry any woman.
He couldn't sleep in the woodshed that night. When he got up and passed by the main room, he heard his stepmother and his father saying that there was a family in the town who wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and said that the other party could give him fifty taels of silver.
Fifty taels is enough for a family like Pei Mingche's family to chew for many years. The stepmother said that Pei Mingche is not young anymore, and sending it to the Yuan's wife's house can not only reduce one person's rations, but also provide more income for the family. , his cheap dad agreed without thinking.
Pei Mingche, who was outside the house, felt sad when he heard this. After thinking about it all night, he decided to join the army.
Unexpectedly, the next day after he made his decision, people from the yamen came to the village and informed him of the recruitment. Every family had to provide a strong laborer. Pei Mingche was ruthlessly pushed out by the Pei family again. Of course, without fifty taels of silver, It's a pity, but life is definitely more important than money.
Pei Mingche also saw clearly the face of his family again. He approached the village chief and said that he could serve as a soldier on behalf of the Pei family, but the prerequisite was that he must cut off his relationship with his biological father, Pei Dashan.
Pei Dashan refused at first, but when faced with his wife's tearful eyes and two children calling for daddy, Pei Dashan's last psychological defense broke and he agreed to Pei Mingche's request.
Pei Yiche said goodbye to Ji Qingyao before leaving. He wanted to tell the woman in front of him that he liked her, but he knew it was too late. Looking at her bulging belly, he hid his love for her deep in his heart. .
There was no news from Pei Mingche for six years after he left. People in Xiaoxi Village thought that it was almost impossible for Pei Mingche to come back alive. Unexpectedly, not only did he come back alive, but he also became a fifth-grade Xuanfu envoy with his own efforts. Deputy envoy.
During the five years on the battlefield, Pei Mingche's longing for Ji Qingyao has only increased. He is very grateful to the woman who can warm him whenever she smiles. Without the hunting skills she taught him, he would not have been able to escape death again and again, nor would he have survived. It may take five years to climb to the fifth rank official position.
A fifth-grade official position is in the military and is nothing in the capital. However, he is a farmer's son with no identity background and relies entirely on his own abilities. It can be said that he paid for this honor with his life, but there are few Thanks to Ji Qingyao’s contribution.
Over the years in the army, not only did his martial arts improve by leaps and bounds, but he also learned to write. Part of it was taught by Ji Qingyao when he was learning hunting with her earlier. Later, when he went to the army, he saved a teacher by chance and was taught by him again. , it can be said that Pei Mingche has changed a lot in five years.
He wanted to write a letter to Ji Qingyao about everything that happened in the army. He wrote one letter after another, but in the end he never sent it. He was afraid of getting her into trouble and didn't want her to suffer any unreasonable disaster because of his letter. .
But what Pei Mingche didn't expect was that he didn't even see Ji Qingyao for the last time when he rushed back to Xiaoxi Village in his previous life. By the time he found her, her body had already been separated and dumped in a mass grave.
Holding Ji Qingyao's skinny body covered with corpses, howling and crying.
He regretted it, hated his own incompetence, and hated that he came back too late.
He could identify the headless female corpse as Ji Qingyao because there was a red flower birthmark on Ji Qingyao's right arm and a red mole behind her ear.
He discovered these two marks accidentally, and after knowing about them, he kept them deep in his heart.
When Ji Qingyao's head was found, half of his face was disfigured.
He took care of her posthumous affairs, and only wrote the words "my beloved wife" on the tombstone.
In the following years, he worked hard to climb to a high position. When he became a first-grade Guanglu doctor, he began his revenge for Ji Qingyao. He did not expect that the person who killed Ji Qingyao would be Pei Linyun's woman, the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Wanyun.
He didn't expect that Pei Linyun would be so crazy that he wouldn't even spare his own flesh and blood. He didn't expect that Ji Qingyao was pregnant with twins, or a pair of twins, and those two children were eventually thrown into the wilderness like Ji Qingyao.
In the previous life, Pei Mingche avenged Ji Qingyao and her children and did not resign. Instead, he stayed in the capital and never married a wife. In the end, he was killed by the emperor.
Before he died, he saw Ji Qingyao smiling at him and waving to him, just like when they first met.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was thirteen years old again, before Ji Qingyao was sold to Pei Linyun's family.
