She was still so young, but Wei Cheng had already thought so far, even thinking about who she would marry and whether to marry her.
"sorry to trouble you......"
In fact, it is not a troublesome matter at all. Asking those noble ladies or doctors to be Peilin's master is something only Wei Cheng has the ability to do, and she cannot do it.
The money she earned was just enough for Peilin to have enough food and clothing, and then she would find a decent private school for her to study and grow up.
Perhaps, she could also bring Peilin to meet her mother. The Wang family and the Xie family were both wealthy families, so it would be no problem to hire a knowledgeable master to be Peilin's husband.
But that would be too much like relatives fighting in the autumn wind.
An orphan girl who had been living outside for twenty years suddenly came to the house one day with a child to recognize her relatives. She did not even dare to tell them who the child's father was.
"I'm her father, how can this be trouble?" Wei Cheng smiled and pinched her face.
Yin Xiao bit her lip and said: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to take Peilin to Chang'an. You still have your own affairs. She will also affect you if she is by your side. She is also...not safe." .”
"It doesn't matter." He didn't seem to understand what she meant. He still smiled gently and raised his hand to touch her hair. It was soft, like a docile cat.
"As for Peilin's safety." He squinted at the flickering candlelight, bright red wax tears flowing down and then solidifying.
He had already been prepared for the woman's worries.
"Chang'an may not be safe."
"As far as I know, the aristocratic families in Chang'an have already started preparing to move south." He sighed, "You took Peilin to Chang'an with no one to protect you. How can you ensure the safety of the two of you? Do you want to take her south?"
She frowned: "It's not because they are afraid of you..."
She suddenly remembered that this trip had another purpose.
"Can you let them go?"
"who?"
"The Wang family, I...my biological parents' home, and the Xie family. I remember that your wife is also a young lady from the Xie family."
"Pei Lin would definitely be happy if he had a legitimate brother." She thought for a moment.
If Mrs. Xie gave birth to his legitimate son and daughter, he would be more merciful to Mrs. Xie.
The mutton-fat jade hairpin was pulled out, and green hair cascaded down her head.
"Of course. Your parents are my parents. Regardless of whether you want to recognize me as your husband or not, I will never change my mind."
"You don't want me to touch her. I haven't touched her."
Yin Xiao sat stiffly and said nothing.
"Really, I have never touched her once. I only have you." He told her almost word for word in a low voice.
"You believe me." His voice trembled.
Long hair like a waterfall passed through his fingertips, and the fragrance of grass and trees lingered in the air.
Time has left its mark on her body after all.
The scent of jasmine can no longer be smelled.
There was still a subtle fragrance lingering on her skin, but it wasn't the jasmine balm he gave her.
His favorite scent of jasmine was gone.
His heart suddenly twitched.
She doesn't love him.
Even if I could sit down and chat with him for so long today, it was just for the sake of my children.
The only bond between them is this child.
I worked hard and spent hundreds of days and nights alone with my child.
Only in exchange for meeting today.
"What's wrong?" Sensing the change in his expression, she looked at him worriedly, thinking that she had a fever again.
He held her down as she stood up to pour water, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and spoke in a low voice.
"Nothing, just let me lean on you for a while."
She sat quietly, staring at a certain place in the air in a daze. The man lying on her neck was breathing slowly and calmly. She raised her hand and attached it to his broad back, stroking comfortingly.
"Actually, Madam is the wife you are marrying. It's normal for you to be husband and wife. I never think there's anything wrong with it. I also hope that Peilin can have a younger brother and sister to keep him company."
"Do you believe me or not?"
He put his hands around her shoulders and buried his head tighter, as if he wanted to crush her bones.
"It would be better for Peilin to have younger brothers and sisters."
"Do you believe it or not -" His voice suddenly became sharp, and his face turned cold for a moment. When he saw her subconsciously shrinking, he returned to softness in an instant.
"Answer me -" He held her shoulders, lowered his head and looked at her level, his eyebrows were delicate and gentle as water.
"Say you believe it."
After a long time, her throat rolled, "I believe it."
He smiled, "Yeah."
"Wei Cheng."
"Huh?" He was in a good mood, and when he heard her finally calling his name, he raised his eyebrows.
"do you love me?"
"Why are you asking this?" He held her face.
"If you like me, please don't force me to do things I don't want to do."
He said nothing and looked at her quietly.
He didn't like the young lady from the Xie family, so he never cared about what she did in the ancestral home, and he never asked her to do anything.
But she is different.
"good."
She breathed a sigh of relief, "I want you to promise not to lie to me again."
He leaned over and kissed her lips: "I won't force you..."
She ducked.
"You can't lie to me either."
"I don't want to be like a fool like before and be kept in the dark by you."
Her eyes were so clear that his heart skipped a beat.
"I'm not lying to you." His voice was hoarse and trembling slightly.
"Don't lie to me either."
She nodded, "I want to take Peilin back to Chang'an. You can write a letter of divorce to me. Now, I am still your concubine. I don't want to be your concubine."
His mind buzzed.
What divorce letter.
He does not write a letter of divorce.
He won't divorce her.
Yin Xiao held his trembling hand, "I just don't want to be a concubine. I didn't say I didn't care about the child, nor did I say I would leave. If you want to take care of the child, I will often bring the child back to see you."
"You said you wouldn't force me."
She didn't know how to explain to him that she had a family business in Chang'an and had to go back. Qing Fei Bixiu Man'er was still waiting for her in Jinxiu Pavilion.
He couldn't hear what she was saying at all, and there was a buzzing in his ears, as if ten thousand cicadas were chattering together.
There was only one thought in my mind.
Shen Yinxiao is leaving with the child.
impossible.
"You said you wouldn't force me."
Her voice was soft.
Like his daughter's cry, it was also soft, like a vine, quietly wrapping around his internal organs, taking root and sprouting.
The most soft in the world is the strongest in the world.
He had never backed down, but he was willing to take a step back for her at this time.
"The child stays with me, you can go to Chang'an first." He was worried and added: "When I find you, I will deal with Xie Daolian, and I will marry you and be my wife."
"I'm not a concubine this time, I promise."
"It's time for Peilin to have younger brothers and sisters." He kissed her lips, pecking her lips again and again, flustered and shy, "siblings are the best."
He doesn't just like her, he loves her.
There were even countless nights where he ridiculously asked himself what made her worthy of his love.
He couldn't answer.
He clearly knew that she didn't love him, and she had ulterior motives from the beginning. She just wanted to rely on his status and power to seek some cover, but he just liked her.
It was as if his soul was born with a gaping hole, and the wind and snow were pouring in. The gap in his heart was just a tortuous and despicable pattern. Every corner, every inch, had only one answer.
Yin Xiao was silent for a while, knowing that this was the only way.
A sigh disappeared into the night.
He seems to really love himself.
But most women are too self-righteous and really think that men are madly in love with them.
