Chapter 370: Leniency for Confession 2
Third aunt?
What a strange title.
Pei Heng frowned instantly.
So, his A'li was Pei Yan's wife, his sister-in-law, in Pei Huan's previous life?
That’s right, Su Li was originally going to marry Pei Yan.
So, Su Li was also reborn?
Although this matter sounds really strange, if you think about it carefully, there are clues to everything.
On the wedding day, Su Li couldn't bear the humiliation and hit her head against the wall. After waking up, her temperament changed drastically and she was determined to remarry him.
Including all the things that happened later, Su Li was able to accurately predict the results like a prophet, such as Mr. Sun, the division of the government, and betting that Li Gan would become the emperor...
He always thought that Su Li was smart and could see the big picture from the small details, but it turned out that she had experienced a lot and suffered a lot.
"Su Li, you've gone to great lengths to get close to my father. You deserve to be killed!" Pei Huan took a sudden step forward, aggressively confronting Su Li. "I've been observing you these past few days. You've hidden yourself so well. You've deceived my father and all of us!"
Su Li had been sitting calmly on the couch.
This day was like the sword of Damocles hanging over her head.
Today, it finally fell.
However, she has a clear conscience.
Facing Pei Huan's question, she straightened her clothes and prepared to answer. But Pei Heng said calmly:
"Alright. Now that things are clear, let's call it a day."
"Father! This woman..."
"shut up!"
Pei Heng said sternly, "What's with this woman or that woman? She's your mother! She's my wife, Pei Heng! She's the mistress of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion! I promised her that I would love, protect, and respect her for the rest of my life."
"Husband!"
Su Li had originally prepared to confess. Although she was heartbroken when facing Pei Huan's questioning, Pei Huan was not Huan Ge'er after all.
Huan Ge'er had been by her side for so long, and they had a deep mother-son bond. Even if she knew her origins, she would never force her like this.
But Pei Huan, who had lived alone and in hatred for sixteen years, had a heart already broken and hard as ice. Only Pei Heng could move him in the slightest.
In Pei Huan's eyes, he was the arrogant and domineering woman who was cruelly abused to death by Pei Yan! Such a person must have ulterior motives in her rebirth, and approaching his father was to plot something illicit.
Although she had an open mind, she still had to spend some time talking.
But she didn't expect that Pei Heng would defend her before she even opened her mouth.
Pei Heng said:
"Pei Huan, I failed to protect you and Pei Xi. It's my fault. I feel guilty."
"Everyone says I, Pei Heng, am a man of steel, but who could possibly know the pain and confusion of not seeing the way forward? I'm human, not a god! I've been lying in Qingshan Courtyard for three years, hope and disappointment entwined repeatedly, watching countless days and nights pass by with my eyes open. All of this has left me exhausted, and I simply want to die. I just want it all to be over."
"I'm sorry for you two. I never thought you would be bullied because of my departure. I originally thought that the Marquis' Mansion would provide you with a life of ease and comfort. In the end, I was wrong about them! Pei Huan, it was your father who was blind and heartless. Not only did he waste his own time, but he also irresponsibly implicated you! You can all direct your anger and resentment towards me. Your father solemnly apologizes to you!"
Pei Huan clenched his teeth tightly.
This sorry comes too late.
He resented his father all his life.
But I missed my father all my life.
Back then, he only hated his father's irresponsibility for taking him and Pei Xi back to the Marquis' Mansion, but ignoring them and allowing them to be bullied.
He was just injured but he cried and yelled all day long, cursing his parents, but he never thought that his father was also deceived, suffering day and night, and suffering double torture physically and mentally.
At this moment, the grievances that he had been holding in his heart for sixteen years finally burst out like a broken dam.
The hot tears fell to the ground.
"Father!"
Pei Huan knelt on the ground with a thud.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Pei Heng couldn't control his tears either. He went forward and hugged his son, unable to calm down for a long time.
After a long time, when Pei Huan's emotions had calmed down a bit, Pei Heng patted him on the back and said:
"Son, this is all your father's fault. Your mother has nothing to do with it. Your father is alive here, and Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er have a happy family. This is all thanks to your mother."
Regardless of Su Li's original intention, everyone has witnessed her dedication and hard work over the past two years. If she hadn't slapped herself a few times, he would have starved to death in this world, and everything would have gone back to the old way.
"It was your mother who changed me, changed everything. Son, we have no reason to blame her. In a second life, everyone has the right to make a new choice, right?"
Pei Heng was also worried that Pei Huan would harm Su Li, so he tried hard to persuade him.
According to Pei Huan's description, Su Li lived a very hard life in that life. Pei Heng felt even more pity after hearing this.
No matter what Su Li has been through, in this life she is his wife, his A'li, and this is the most important thing.
"Father," Pei Huan wiped his tears and helped Pei Heng stand up, "I understand."
Before returning, Pei Huan had already inquired about Su Li's behavior from various sources. He had also been secretly observing her over the past few days, including recalling her memories bit by bit.
Su Li and his third aunt in that life were completely different people.
Apart from their names and backgrounds, they have nothing in common.
Moreover, she also got the recognition of Brother Huan.
Pei Huan's questioning just now was actually a test.
I've been in the Dali Temple for too long, and there's nothing I can do about it. I've developed some occupational diseases.
In his heart, he still admired Su Li.
Everything in the Duke Dingguo Mansion in front of me is the best proof.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I treated you like that just now."
He apologized profusely.
Su Li was very pleased to see the father and son who had reached a reconciliation. At the same time, she was also a little amused to see that they had "forgiven" her without saying anything.
She smiled and said:
"You... are you done?"
"If you're done, I have something to say too!"
……
Half an hour later.
"From the future?"
"From the future?"
Pei Heng and Pei Huan jumped up from their chairs at the same time and looked at Su Li in disbelief.
This, this, this is too outrageous.
However, with Pei Huan's rebirth laying the foundation, even the most outrageous things could be quickly accepted by the father and son.
"Yes!"
Su Li winked cunningly and told everything, feeling relieved. Otherwise, as her relationship with Pei Heng deepened, she always felt that she was hiding such a huge secret and it was really a bit guilty.
However, she still concealed the truth about her travel through the book.
If they knew they were just paper figures in a novel, the shock would be too great. Let's just keep living in confusion.
Anyway, the plot has already deviated greatly from the original book.
It's rare to be ignorant!
It's rare to be ignorant!
"So, Pei Huan, you don't have to worry that I'm the Third Aunt with ulterior motives! Pei Heng, you don't have to worry about me suffering inhumane treatment and countless hardships. I am who I am, and I am no one else!"
Su Li said with great ease.
She blinked and continued:
"Oh, speaking of time travel, there are two more people who you must be familiar with."
