Returning to the Lihuayuan, Xu Wanning saw two girls standing under the pear tree.
With a graceful figure and a delicate face, she looks like a frail girl at first glance.
"White pigeon, white bird? Why are you here?" Fubai recognized them at first sight.
Qing Que ignored her, and when he saw Xu Wanning, he knelt down on one knee: "Bai Ge, Bai Que, meet the young lady."
Fubai was stunned for a moment, and then he punched the tree with laughter: "Hahaha, the governor doesn't want you either?"
Bai Ge glanced at him and said in a clear and crisp voice, "Miss, from now on Bai Que and I are yours, and we are at your disposal."
"Did Pei Heng ask you to come?"
"Yes." Bai Ge said, "My slave is good at medicine, and Bai Que is good at poisoning. If you have anything to do, miss, just tell these two slaves."
Fubai said with a smile, "Miss, they can also sing, and their martial arts are also very good."
Sing a song?
He even had an excuse for how to get to Lu's side.
Sure enough, Pei Heng's thoughts were meticulous and comprehensive.
Xu Wanning was very satisfied, "None of Master Pei's subordinates are bad."
This is even praised by Fu Bai.
Fu Bai was proud of himself.
She personally stepped forward and helped the white pigeon and the white bird: "You guys settle down tonight. I will take you to see my mother tomorrow. Please, you two, be sure to pay attention to my mother's diet and medication, even if it's drink." A sip of water, please pay more attention to it."
"Please rest assured, young lady, these two servants will definitely take good care of my wife."
Qingxing took the two of them to settle down, and Hongmei also helped Xu Wanning sleep.
With the two people who were good at poisoning and medicine sent by Pei Heng, Xu Wanning's anxious heart also dropped, and her mood improved a lot, with the smile on her face always there.
Hongmei looked at the smile on Xu Wanning's face and laughed too.
"The lady is in a good mood."
"Well, since eldest brother is not here, I finally have someone who can help me look after my mother."
Even if Lin Hui doesn't have anything, it can be regarded as asking for a peace charm.
"Miss, do you think that Mr. Pei has seen you much more recently than before." Hongmei suddenly asked.
She had wanted to say it for a long time. Even the fourth box in the Lihua Building, Hongmei now understood, was specially prepared for Pei Heng by the lady.
And that night, the lady grabbed Pei Heng's clothes and asked someone to fly her to the moon to see the stars. When Pei Heng coaxed the lady, he was patient and gentle. Hongmei felt that she should speak to the lady.
Xu Wanning blinked her big eyes: "Really?"
"Yes." Hongmei said, "Since the opening of Lihua Building, Mr. Pei has been going there almost every day."
Xu Wanning: "He's going to eat and drink. It's too late, he has nothing to eat."
"Miss, he is the Grand Governor of Jinlinwei and the master of the Grand Governor's Mansion. There are people waiting for him no matter how late the night is. Knowing that he has not eaten, anyone will cook for him. Even if he wants to eat a Man-Han banquet, no matter how late it is, someone will cook for him. Make it." Hongmei looked at Xu Wanning.
Sometimes, being in the middle of the situation is not as clear as a bystander.
Xu Wanning remained silent.
"Miss, Mr. Pei treats you unusually." Hongmei said bluntly: "He may have other thoughts about you."
What thoughts can you have?
A man's kindness to a woman never comes without a reason.
Xu Wanning still didn't speak.
"Miss, you are divorced now, and he has that status. I feel that sometimes you should keep a distance, and you still have to keep a distance. Although he is good enough to you, if he continues like this, if he is discovered by others, it will damage your reputation. It’s in the way.”
reputation?
Xu Wanning asked Hongmei with a faint smile: "Hongmei, do you think of your young lady too well, or do you think of Mr. Pei too badly?"
There was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Hongmei was startled, "Miss."
"Hongmei, your lady is the daughter of a merchant and a divorced woman with a son. What is Pei Heng's identity? Although he is not as good as before, his current identity is second to our Xu family and even many wealthy families. Yes, I interacted too much with him, and I ruined his reputation."
Hongmei quickly explained: "Miss, you clearly know that this is not what I mean."
"I know you are doing it for my own good." The anger in Xu Wanning's eyes dissipated. She patted Hongmei's shoulder and said in a gentle tone: "Go down and don't say such words next time."
She had received a lot of help from Pei Heng, and now she was asked to draw a clear line between them and Pei Heng. Even if they were just ordinary friends, this move would inevitably lead to the suspicion of picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to curse.
Although Hongmei is considering her reputation.
The lights in the house went out.
Xu Wanning stared at the curtain with her eyes open, and did not fall asleep for a long time.
She was thinking about her relationship with Pei Heng.
The two of them interact more frequently now than they did in Yancheng, especially this Lihuayuan, which is just like his home. They can come and leave whenever they want, and it's in the middle of the night when no one is around. If it's someone else, Xu Wanning would definitely treat the person as a disciple and beat him to death with a stick, but Pei Heng...
She even entertained people with wine and food.
The better Pei Heng treats her, the better she wants to treat Pei Heng in return.
But in the eyes of outsiders, maybe this is good, but it changes its taste.
But what?
Xu Wanning looked at the curtain and sneered.
A dignified governor, a popular figure next to Zhang Hedi, a person who is fawned over by many noble families, emperors and relatives, would have thoughts about her?
Even if she is unmarried, has no children, and is pure and pure, she still cannot catch Pei Heng's eyes.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Wanning's mess became much clearer.
They are just ordinary friends. If there are too many of them, there is no need to think too much. They will only cause trouble.
She is not so shameless and would think that Pei Heng has some evil thoughts about her.
The entire Pear Blossom Courtyard was shrouded in darkness. The round moon hung in the sky, casting a thin layer of light. It also illuminated a man in purple sitting on the roof, holding up a pot of pear blossoms and drinking alone to the moon. .
The body is lonely and lonely, looking at the moon.
Early the next morning, Xu Wanning took Bai Ge and Bai Que to Lu's place.
Before Mrs. Lu started eating, she saw Xu Wanning coming and hurriedly asked someone to add chopsticks, "It's rare for you to get up so early. Hurry up and have breakfast with your mother."
Xu Wanning did not eat breakfast. She went to help Mrs. Lu and pouted, "Mom, do you think your daughter is lazy?"
"I don't dare to dislike you. After all, you are now a person who can make money in our Xu family. How can I dare to dislike you? It's too late for me to hate you. I still have to rely on you to make money." Lu's sour words were so sour. It can't be sour anymore.
Xu Wanning grasped the key point: "Mom, why did dad make you angry again? Don't let the fire at the city gate affect the fish in the pond."
"Hmph, your father thinks that I have never done any business, and the ideas I give him are all bad."
Xu Wanning looked at Aunt Yun next to Mrs. Lu.
Aunt Yun pursed her lips and smiled at her, shaking her head.
Xu Wanning understood: "Mom, Dad is telling you to have a good rest and don't think about business matters. He will solve any problems by himself. Don't worry about it. You will worry too much about it."
Aunt Yun's smile grew bigger on her lips, and she secretly gave Xu Wanning a thumbs up.
Xu Wanning felt proud that her mother had misinterpreted her father's kindness again.
Misinterpretation?
It's like she misinterpreted Pei Heng's good intentions. If you are good to one person, why do you have to involve it in another place.
Although the world said that Pei Heng was ruthless and violent, Xu Wanning also discovered through these few months of contact that this person still retains innocence and kindness.
Xu Wanning wants to keep Pei Heng's innocence and kindness.
