Chapter 234
Pei Yunche was stunned, tears still clinging to his eyelashes, his nose red. He seemed not to have realized what Nalan Jingwen was saying. He felt dizzy and could only see the person in front of him opening and closing his lips.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had not yet dried at the corners of his eyes, and said, "I know that General Pei has grievances against me. That is why I want to meet with him to resolve the misunderstandings he has had with me for so many years."
She paused, then continued, "Besides, you wouldn't want to turn against your own mother because of me, would you? If that were the case, wouldn't I be a sinner?"
Pei Yunche stared at her for a long time without any reaction. Nalan Jingwen thought he wouldn't say anything more. Just as she was about to wave her hand in front of his eyes, she was hugged tightly. Pei Yunche's arms wrapped tightly around her waist, and he buried his head in her chest and burst into tears.
He cried and cursed her, "Nalan Jingwen, you bastard!!"
The tone was supposed to be scolding, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the grievance and joy in it.
Even though Nalan Jingwen was caught off guard by his embrace, she remained firmly in place without staggering. She smiled helplessly and patted his back.
"You insulted me even after I said I wanted to marry you, so you won't marry me then?"
"you dare!!"
Pei Yunche abruptly stood up from her embrace, his eyes fierce, his face streaked with tears, looking utterly intimidating.
He said viciously, "If you dare not marry me, I will die right here, and become a ghost to haunt you for all eternity, so that you will never escape me in this life, the next life, and the life after that!!"
Look at this person, they even threaten their own life to threaten others, how incredibly stupid.
Nalan Jingwen looked at him and thought that the person in front of her was really stupid. If she, Nalan Jingwen, wanted something, she would give her all and pay any price to get it. If she wanted to get someone, she would even take it by force and bind that person to her side for all eternity, and not even let their soul leave her for a moment!
The smile on her face faded, and her dark, deep eyes revealed no emotion whatsoever. Pei Yunche was most afraid of her looking like this, and his original imposing aura weakened.
He thought Nalan Jingwen would be angry, but to his surprise, Nalan Jingwen simply stared at him calmly for a long time and said lightly, "You must not joke about your own life again in the future."
Pei Yunche was unconvinced. He wanted to say that he was not joking, and that every word he said was true, without the slightest falsehood.
But looking into Nalan Jingwen's calm eyes, he suddenly felt hesitant and dared not speak.
"I promise you, but you have to promise me one thing too."
"what?"
"Don't ever say things like 'I want to marry someone else' again. I don't want to marry anyone else. I only want to marry you."
Pei Yunche looked at her with red eyes, his eyes overflowing with emotion, every word he uttered was heartfelt and without a trace of falsehood.
He said he only wanted to marry her and be her husband alone.
The person in front of her offered his sincere heart to her, begging her to accept it. It would be a lie to say that Nalan Jing was not moved.
Finally, her eyes were no longer empty; a hint of a smile appeared. She took his hand and headed towards the General's Mansion.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
"You haven't answered me yet!"
"I agree."
Pei Yunche's attempt to argue backfired, and he fell silent. Nalan Jingwen glanced at him sideways, her eyes sparkling with a smile, bright and dazzling. In Pei Yunche's eyes, Nalan Jingwen was radiant, unbelievably beautiful.
He thought he would never forget this night for the rest of his life, and that he really couldn't live without her.
Nalan Jing didn't know what he was thinking. She just looked at his stunned expression, put her arm around his waist to prevent him from falling, and led him slowly forward along the moonlight.
Upon arriving at the General's Mansion, Nalan Jingwen immediately spotted the person standing at the entrance. The woman had a neat ponytail, sharp and heroic features, and stood at the entrance holding a sword, like a statue.
When Nalan Jingwen saw her, the woman seemed to sense it and looked over as well. In the dark night, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as they landed on her. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she turned her gaze to the man beside her. Nalan Jingwen could clearly see that she frowned and anger ignited in her eyes.
Pei Yunche also saw Pei Yundai. Perhaps knowing he was in the wrong, he subconsciously hid behind Nalan Jingwen.
Nalan Jingwen saw his movements and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Now you're scared? Where's your courage to sneak out?"
Pei Yunche pinched her arm and said angrily, "It's all your fault for not coming to see me. Otherwise, would I have sneaked out?"
Nalan Jingwen had no choice but to lead his men over.
Pei Yundai walked up to her and bowed, "Your Highness, it is really impolite of you to bring your brother back so late."
She then looked at Pei Yunche behind Nalan Jingwen, her face darkening as she said sternly, "You ran away, and you even had the prince send you back! What kind of behavior is this!"
Although Pei Yunche had been pampered at home since childhood, he was still scared when he saw his older sister looking so angry, and hid behind Nalan Jingwen, refusing to come out.
“My mother had people watching me, not letting me go out or see her, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to sneak out.”
He argued in a low voice, but everyone present could still hear him clearly.
Pei Yundai's expression darkened further when he saw that Pei Yundai was still arguing back. "You still dare to say that!"
She was angry that Pei Yunche was so shameless. If someone saw him, they would say that the young master of the General's Mansion was rushing to marry him. She was even angrier that he came back so late. What if he encountered some danger?
She almost went to the Prince Xian's residence to bring the person back, but her mother stopped her, saying that Nalan Jingwen would definitely send the person back personally, and if he didn't, it meant that she had misjudged the person.
She didn't know why her mother was so certain, but she had always regarded her mother's words as military orders and never dared to disobey them. That's why she didn't break into the Prince's mansion again. But because she was worried, she waited for her to return at the gate.
Fortunately, Pei Yunche was sent back by Nalan Jingwen, which proved that Nalan Jingwen was not as heartless as the outside world said, and also proved that his mother was right.
Nalan Jingwen watched the siblings putting on their act but didn't intend to participate. He simply spoke up at the right moment, "Don't worry, he won't be in danger by my side. Even if he is, I'm confident I can protect him."
Her tone was calm, but her words were extremely arrogant, which attracted Pei Yundai's attention. After thinking it over, she changed her tone from the one she had just used to reprimand Pei Yunche, and her momentum weakened. She said, "I'm sorry to have troubled Your Highness."
"What's so troublesome? Isn't protecting your husband what every wife should do?"
The moment the words left his mouth, everyone present was stunned.
