Yao Lao stretched out his hand to help me stand up and sat next to him. I thought he was going to say something else, but he didn't speak. He just kept looking at me, as if he was seeing me for the first time, with a look of complete satisfaction on his face.

smile.

I probably understand that this is how my father-in-law feels when he sees his daughter-in-law.

So, I didn't say anything, and just sat there like this, as humble and cautious as an ugly daughter-in-law when she meets her parents-in-law, and let him look at me. After a while, Yao Lao sighed softly: "To be honest, I know

Yuan Xiu was married in the past, but I can't think of what kind of person his wife should be. But as soon as you married him, I felt that you should be by his side, and only you are good.

”

His words reminded me of Nangong Lizhu, the woman who was once crazy about Pei Yuanxiu, and I suddenly realized that she and I had completely reversed our positions, and now she is by Pei Yuanhao's side.

, she was a concubine, but I was married to Pei Yuanxiu; at that time, Pei Yuanxiu and she were the crown prince and concubine, living deep in the palace, while Pei Yuanhao and I were running around in Jiangnan, fighting for the victims and the plague.
p>

And now...

Haha, God’s arrangement is really so interesting.

I glanced at Yao Lao and smiled faintly.

Yao Lao didn't notice anything strange about me at all, but fell silent again. After a long time, he said: "I owe Yuan Xiu... too much. I gave birth to him, but I didn't teach him to raise him. He grew up like this."

When Da Cai met for the first time, he said they were father and son, but in fact they were no better than two strangers."

Although his tone was calm, I understood it very well, especially today after so many years of separation from Li'er, I had a deeper understanding, so I said softly: "Father-in-law, you have only met each other after so many years of separation. It is natural for us to be strangers.

But feelings are alive and can take root and sprout like a seed, as long as they are nurtured well. Now that you are reunited as father and son, there are many opportunities like this."

"Yes, there are many opportunities. It's just..."

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?"

A hint of melancholy appeared on Yao Lao's face. He paused for a moment and then said softly: "But I can't understand this son at all. I can't see through it. I have known countless people in my life, but he is the only one.

My son, I don’t know what he is thinking, I don’t know what he wants to do, even - I am a little unsure of what he is doing.”

I was stunned for a moment.

I suddenly remembered that Huang Tianba also said the same thing to me when I was in the capital.

He said that there were only two people in the imperial city that he could not understand, one was Pei Yuanhao and the other was Pei Yuanxiu, because Pei Yuanxiu's whole person was like a transparent mystery, making it impossible for people to figure out and find his truth.

Now, Yao Lao also says so...

I was lost in thought when Yao Lao grabbed one of my hands, patted it gently, and said: "Girl, the old man is telling you this because he wants to say - I am really relieved that you marry him.

."

"..."

"I don't know what my son is thinking or what he wants to do. Although I know that he is very capable and he is so big, as a parent, I always feel uneasy. Now that you are by his side, I feel

Don't worry, the old man is really happy to have you as his daughter-in-law."

Seeing him trusting me wholeheartedly, and even relying on me a little, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. I don't know if it was sadness, warmth, or some other emotion. Parents are always like this, working hard for their children.

Labor, no matter how talented the child is and how great his achievements are, he still has to worry about and work hard.

Thinking of this, I stretched out my hand, held his hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will take good care of Yuan Xiu when I am by his side. We are family, no matter what happens,

I will always be by his side."

Yao Lao showed a delighted smile on his wrinkled face and kept patting my hand: "Okay, okay, okay."

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to feel something, raised his head, looked behind me, and immediately said: "Yuan Xiu?"

I turned around and saw Pei Yuanxiu standing at the door looking at us.

When Yao Laoyi saw him, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he stood up slowly: "You're here."

"Yeah."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded, opened the ajar door and walked in. He walked to me, put a hand on my shoulder, then slowly slid towards my arm, and took me from Yao Lao's hand.

hand, and then said with a smile: "I should have come earlier to say hello to you. I'm just a little tired."

Those words again.

Although I am not a bride, I was still a little embarrassed when I heard such words. I couldn't help but blush and lower my head. Yao Lao smiled and shook his head: "You are newlyweds. Of course you have your own things to do. No need.

Don't worry about me, an old man."

Pei Yuanxiu smiled, lowered his head and said to me: "You too, you are running around without breakfast, you are hungry and you feel uncomfortable. Come back with me and eat first."

As he said that, he squeezed my hand and pulled it. I couldn't help being pulled by him to stand up and walk out.

When I walked to the door, I looked back at Yao Lao. He was still standing there calmly and smiling, but there was just a hint of loneliness in those bright and restrained eyes, which was fleeting.

We were pulled out by Pei Yuanxiu. This time, the house was full of servants. When the attendants and maids saw us along the way, they all came up to us with happy faces and congratulated us with smiles——

"Sir, madam, we are very happy to be married."

I smiled and nodded at them all the way, but Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything and just walked with me. After a while, we finally returned to the inner courtyard. It was still as quiet as last night. It seemed that someone had come to clean it up, and the table was also

Breakfast was laid out. Various side dishes and simmered crabmeal porridge exuded a faint fragrance. In such an early morning, it really made people want to eat.

However, when I turned around and saw the scene in the inner room, I couldn't help but blush.

The big bed had not been tidied up yet, and it was in a mess. Just one look at it showed the intensity of last night's love affair. I didn't dare to look at it a second time, so I could only sit on the stool with my back to the inner room. , as soon as I sat down, I saw Pei Yuanxiu sitting opposite me, glanced behind me, and then smiled softly.

I tried not to worry about it, but it was still a bit uncomfortable to be watched by him all the time. Finally, I couldn’t help but softly said: "Why don’t you let someone take care of it?"

"Not yet."

"Huh?"

I raised my head and looked at him in confusion, and he looked at me too. Although he was smiling, there was a hint of emotion that was not entirely a smile: "I woke up just now and found that you were not around."< /p>

"..."

"I thought I was dreaming again. But this room is obviously a bridal chamber, and there is still your smell on the bed."

"..."

"That makes it hard for me to tell what is a dream and what is reality."

"..." I looked at him stupidly, and before the smile on my face could fade away, I already felt a surge of sourness.

Last night, he told me that if he didn't hug me tightly, he wouldn't be able to believe that I already belonged to him. He was afraid that all this would be his dream again. But this morning, I just wanted to let people not disturb him and just remember I went to offer tea to my father-in-law, but I forgot. He should not be left alone to wake up in such an early morning.

No wonder, just now he stood at Yaolao's door and looked at me with a strange expression.

It turned out that he woke up in that mood and then came to find me.

Thinking of this, I said softly: "So you know now? All of this is true?"

He didn't speak, just looked at me quietly, and suddenly stretched out a hand towards me: "Come here."

I stood up and walked over as told. As soon as I stretched out my hand, he grabbed me and pulled me to his side. Before I could say anything, he hugged me hard and buried his head in my arms.

Although I had already become husband and wife with him last night, the sudden intimacy still made me feel a little at a loss. I stood there stupidly and let him hold me like this. I felt him take a deep breath and then raise his head. Come and look at me, smile and say: "You smell so good."

My face turned redder, and I stretched out my hand to push him away, but he held me down and sat down in his arms. Before I could struggle to resist, he had already wrapped his arms around me, and then picked up the bowl. Chopsticks: "What do you want to eat?"

"You——"

"How about some porridge first? It will warm your stomach."

As he said that, he scooped up a spoonful of fragrant porridge and brought it to my mouth. I glared at him angrily: "You think I'm a child."

He looked at me with a smile: "I treat you as my baby. Come on, open your mouth."

I reached out to push his hand away, but he stubbornly put the spoon to his mouth and refused to put it down. I could only smile and yell: "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, others will see you!"

"Then drink porridge quickly."

"Let go..."

"Drink and I will let you go."

……

In the end, I couldn't get enough of him and could only manage to take a sip to save myself. He finally let me go, but also let me sit next to him. Finally, after finishing breakfast, he let the girls

After he came to clean up, he said to me: "I'm going to take a bath. You should also prepare yourself. I'll take you out later."

"Get out? Where?"

He smiled and said: "Of course we are going out for fun. Don't forget, today is our first day of marriage."

I was stunned for a moment and said nothing. He immediately felt something and said, "What's wrong?"

"..." I hesitated for a moment, then raised my head and looked at him, and said softly: "Although it is our first day of marriage, we should still go see Yao Lao. I also want to divorce."<

/p>

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a moment and did not speak immediately. After a while, he walked up to me, held my hands in his, and said softly: "Qingying, I know that in your heart, I am not the most important."

"Yuanxiu, I——"
