Her voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself, and she didn't care whether the person next to her pillow would respond.
In fact, she didn't wait for Huo Zhun to speak.
Huo Zhun didn't open his eyes until the breathing of the people around him became longer. His dark pupils looked at her peaceful sleeping face, he sighed inaudibly, and after a long time, he closed his eyes again.
Before dawn the next day, Pei Ruolan woke up early and glanced at Huo Jue, who was sleeping beside her with a complicated expression. She quietly went to the ground, took out the medicine hidden behind the dressing table, took one pill, and stuffed it in go back.
Huo Zhun woke up after Pei Ruolan went to the ground. Hearing the rustling noises she made, he pinched his eyebrows hard and tried not to expose her.
When Pei Ruolan returned to the bed, he pulled her into his arms, holding her and planning to fall asleep again.
He hugged her very tightly, his hard and hot chest pressed against her back, and his long legs pinched her legs. Pei Ruolan felt uncomfortable all over, but she couldn't break away, so she could only close her eyes and fall asleep.
But because her body was too tight, it didn't take long for her back to ache. She couldn't help frowning and pushing him again, "My lord, I can't sleep if you hold me. Can't you sleep by yourself?"
Huo Zhun was disgusted by her, so he squeezed her slender waist gently, "Since you're not used to it, then learn to get used to it."
Pei Ruolan took a deep breath and stopped arguing with him.
As soon as it dawned, she immediately urged Huo Zhun to get up and change clothes. Huo Zhun raised his eyebrows displeased, "You don't want to sleep with me so much?"
Pei Ruolan opened her mouth, exhaled a breath of stale air, and explained in a good voice, "Your Majesty's body is as hot as a stove, and I am most afraid of heat. It's not that I don't want to sleep with you in the same bed."
Huo Zhun snorted slightly, not sure whether he believed her explanation.
After the two of them washed up and had breakfast, Huo Zhun took a deep look at Pei Ruolan.
Pei Ruolan was instantly blessed and told Sang Yun, "Go get the pen and ink."
Sang Yun responded and went to get the pen and ink. Huo Zhun looked away, picked up the tea cup in front of him, gently blew away the foam, and took a sip, looking happy and contented.
Sang Yun quickly took the pen and ink over, and Pei Ruolan picked up the pen, but she didn't know how to write, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
Seeing her look like this, Huo Zhun's originally leisurely expression darkened again, and he said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to, I won't force you."
Pei Ruolan had known him not long ago, but she knew his temper very well. How could she believe what he said? She spoke for a while before writing.
Huo Zhun looked over calmly, saw clearly what she had written, and his expression gradually improved.
Pei Ruolan finished writing the family letter, dried it, and presented it to Huo Zhun, "please ask the prince to read it."
Huo Zhun put the rice paper back on the table, "This is your decision, you can make the decision yourself."
Seeing that he was quite satisfied, Pei Ruolan ordered Sang Yun to deliver the letter to Pei's house.
Sang Yun took the order and left.
Huo Zhun also stood up, looked at Pei Ruolan and said, "I still have some official business to deal with. You have a good rest."
After leaving the main room, Huo Zhun stood in the corridor and told Du Lin, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Lu and Pei families."
Du Lin agreed.
That night, when the lanterns were first lit, Du Lin came over with news.
"After Mr. Pei received Miss Pei's letter, he took people to the Lu family to cancel the engagement. Mr. Lu and his wife were very happy, but Mr. Lu was not willing. After a stalemate, Mr. Lu simply asked his subordinates to send Mr. Lu to Wai Lang tied him up, and then returned the token of the relationship between Lu Yuan Wai Lang and Miss Pei."
Speaking of tokens, Huo Zhun immediately thought of the jade and purse that Lu Hongming was wearing yesterday.
"Besides the jade pendant and money bag, what other tokens do you have?"
After Du Lin pondered for a long time, he said, "The Pei family returned three carts of tokens, and the Lu family returned two carts of tokens."
Huo Zhun: "..." That's all he needed to ask.
"Now that the tokens returned by the Pei family have returned to the Lu family, what do you think should be done with the tokens returned by the Lu family to the Pei family?"
Huo Zhun laughed coldly, "Of course I have to ask the owner of the thing!" After that, he closed the official document in front of him with force, and the anger on his face was obvious.
In the bedroom, Pei Ruolan's right eyelid suddenly jumped several times in succession. She put down the book in her hand. Could it be that there was an accident in breaking off the engagement?
