Chapter 73 (1/2)

Cui mengzhang woke up with a start. He was already sweating.

Pei Zhengwen, who was sleeping with him, woke up immediately when there was a slight movement. His eyes were clear as if he had not yet fallen asleep. He turned his head. His beautiful and dignified little wife was like a dehydrated fish, gasping. He patted her back soothingly.

Unexpectedly, Cui mengzhang jumped in panic and dodged his touch.

Pei Zhengwen's hand was frozen in the air. He slowly put his hand down and asked, ”you've been having nightmares these days.”

His insipid exposition.

Cui mengzhang shrank to the wall and realized what she had just done and pursed her lips“ Lord Hou, I...... ”

”What's bothering you?” He asked.

Cui mengzhang wiped the sweat from his head, lay down again and tucked in the quilt corner. For fear that Pei Zhengwen would be angry, he thought about opening his mouth: ”I read a script a few days ago, telling the story of mountain ghosts and demons. It's terrible. I don't feel it during the day, but I always dream at night.”

In fact, she did have something in her heart. Since she received Pei Shuo's letter and learned that he and Pei Xingzhi were on their way back to Beijing, a big stone hung in her heart. She can stay in Nanxun County on the grounds that the Mid Autumn Festival holiday is short and she has just entered the thatched cottage to adapt to learning. Now, close to the new year, she has no reason to stop Pei Shuo from coming back.

If she wants to stop, Pei Zhengwen won't agree, and her father-in-law won't agree. She's unhappy and everyone is upset.

But I thought that the evil god would come back, which might greatly affect her fate. Her heart was weighed down by the boulder. So at night, she always dreamed that Pei Shuo was coming to take her life, and then counted the time. It was within one or two days that he arrived in the capital, and she had nightmares more frequently. However, she couldn't say these words to Pei Zhengwen, so she had to hold it in her heart.

Pei Zhengwen said, ”monsters and ghosts are terrible? I'm afraid my evil spirit has influenced you. ”

Cui mengzhang's heart clicked and screamed. Did her reaction stab Pei Zhengwen?

Since she married Pei's house, it's no big deal to spend money on food and clothing. She is the biggest hostess in the house. There is no mother-in-law at the top and no sister-in-law at the bottom. Even if she has siblings, she has already divided the house. The only concubine is safe and dutiful. She has a happy life and has nothing to worry about.

If there is any regret, it is Pei Zhengwen's attitude towards her and Pei Shuo, the evil god who will affect her life.

The former is respectful to her, but not close to her. The latter, she begged not to send Pei Shuo far away from him, so as not to let him affect his life.

”What did Hou ye say? You are not only everyone's hero, but also a hero in my heart.” Cui mengzhang took advantage of this to get close to Pei Zhengwen, put his head on Pei Zhengwen's chest, and his strong heart beat plop.

But as soon as she put it on the pillow, he moved his position, put her on his arm, away from his chest, and stroked her long hair. Cui mengzhang felt a little lost and summoned up his spirit to change the topic: ”shuo'er's return should be the day after tomorrow. Should I ask a cook to pick them up?”

”These two days, I'm going to the military camp in the suburbs to take some soldiers. I should be back in time. Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi are still young, so they are free from the wind and wash the dust. Give them an extra dish. Go to sleep. ”

Cui mengzhang nodded and slowly closed his eyes.

Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi didn't come back until afternoon.

When the servant saw that the carriage stopped, he helped Pei Shuo down, unloaded the car quickly and carried luggage from the carriage.

Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi's faces were a little tired after being dusty for days.
