Chapter 317 There is still me
"Pei Heng?"
There was a brief hint of confusion in Su Li's voice.
The severe physical injury caused her consciousness and spirit to be temporarily distracted, and she could not tell whether the Pei Heng in front of her was real or fake.
Soon, a pair of warm hands, trembling slightly, touched her cheeks. Pei Heng's handsome face in front of her eyes became several times larger and clearer.
"It's me! Ari, I'm back!"
"Is it really you? I'm not dreaming?" Su Li choked a little.
That day she walked to the edge of the cliff in a daze, and in the pouring rain she thought she was hallucinating.
At this moment, I reached out and touched Pei Heng's face. At that moment, my memory slowly woke up and became real.
"Ari, you're not dreaming. I'm back. I'm never leaving again."
Pei Heng was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and could no longer control himself and rushed forward to hug Su Li.
He thought he had lost her forever.
Without A-Li, what is the meaning of his life?
It's still there. God took pity on him and returned his A'li to him.
"sorry Sorry."
Pei Heng hugged his wife and apologized profusely.
"I shouldn't have left you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let you face all this alone. I'm sorry, Ari. It's all my fault."
"General," Su Li patted Pei Heng's back with difficulty and said with some difficulty, "I can't breathe. Can you please let go a little?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I-I..."
Pei Heng quickly loosened his grip. He was so caught up in his own excitement that he forgot how fragile Ah Li was. He let go of her carefully, as if he was at a loss as to what to do with a piece of porcelain that would break at the slightest touch.
"General, have you found Brother Huan?"
Su Li's consciousness was slowly regaining consciousness, and her first thought was about Huan Ge'er's whereabouts.
For the past six months, she and Huan Ge'er have depended on each other. She has become accustomed to discussing many things with Huan Ge'er. At this moment, Huan Ge'er may be more important to her than Pei Heng.
"not yet."
Pei Heng shook his head.
In the past two days, he sent people to search along the river, but no trace of Huan Ge'er has been found yet.
Quanzhou was hit by three days of heavy rain, causing widespread flooding. It wasn't just Qingyuan Mountain; many other places in Quanzhou were affected.
Su Li's heart sank suddenly, but she quickly comforted herself:
“No news is good news.”
"Yes! Don't worry, I will keep looking until I find him." Pei Heng swore solemnly.
Su Li smiled bitterly.
Now this is the only way to comfort myself.
However, she was extremely resolute in her heart that Huan Ge'er would be fine. In the original book, Huan Ge'er successfully grew up, although his fate was difficult...
But she also had a vague worry in her heart.
I hope that my arrival will not change the fate of the characters in the original book beyond recognition!
I can only pray silently that Brother Huan will be blessed by heaven and live peacefully somewhere.
"Ari, you haven't seen Le'er yet, right?"
Seeing that she was sad, Pei Heng quickly changed the subject.
"fun?"
"Yes!" Seeing Su Li looking at him with a puzzled expression, Pei Heng hurriedly explained, "Pei Le, our son! Do you like this name?"
"Pei Huan, Pei Xi, Pei Le?"
Su Li's eyes were filled with tears.
"Yeah!" Pei Heng nodded.
"like!"
Two lines of tears gently flowed down and fell into Pei Heng's palm. He smiled and wiped Su Li's tears clean, and asked someone to carry Pei Le in.
A newborn baby changes every day.
Pei Le's skin has become much whiter these past few days, and he's been well fed and ate well, becoming plump and fair. He's also changed into a clean, luxurious outfit, looking as adorable as a glutinous rice dumpling.
Su Li's impression of Pei Le was still at the stage where he was wrinkled and red like a monkey.
Seeing it again at this moment, I suddenly can’t let it go.
"Pei Le? Le Le?"
Su Li struggled to turn sideways and looked at the baby lying beside her. She couldn't imagine that such a small and cute creature was actually born by her.
Lele smelled her mother's breath, opened her round obsidian eyes, pouted her little mouth, waved her little hands and began to snuggle into Su Li's arms.
"What is he going to do?"
Su Li has never been a mother, so she really doesn’t know what Lele wants to do?
Lele wanted to drink milk eagerly, but was not satisfied. After struggling for a few times, his little face began to turn red and he showed signs of crying.
Pei Heng patted his back skillfully and whispered something in Su Li's ear.
Su Li's face suddenly turned red.
This little person actually wanted to breastfeed. Perhaps it was maternal instinct that made her chest, which was fine just now, start to swell up after hearing Lele's babbling.
Su Li quickly looked at Nanny Li and asked.
Madam Li smiled and said:
"Madam is weak and taking medicine. The old man said that it is better not to breastfeed the young master for the time being."
Seeing Su Li anxious again, he explained:
"Madam, don't worry. The general has personally taken people to the farm and selected two more wet nurses to ensure that the young master has a full meal every day."
Su Li felt extremely disappointed that she couldn't breastfeed Xiao Lele herself, but for Xiao Lele's health, she had no choice but to do so.
But the bloating in my chest is really uncomfortable.
Seeing that Su Li was a little disappointed because she couldn't breastfeed herself, Pei Heng leaned over and whispered in her ear:
"Don't worry, I'm here for you!"
This time, Su Li was so embarrassed that she raised her fist and punched him in the chest, then spat softly:
"shameless!"
Pei Heng chuckled, gently clenched his wife's fist, wrapped around A'li's fingers, and gently placed a soft kiss on her brows which had finally relaxed.
Finally, Ah Li was made to laugh, and the haze lingering in Pei Heng's heart finally parted a little, letting in a ray of light.
……
The Quanzhou camp dispatched over a thousand men that day, but not a single one survived. When word reached the Quanzhou garrison commander, Chen Xi, and the provincial governor, Zhang Yi, they were both horrified.
When they finally figured out the situation and learned who lived on Qingyuan Mountain, Zhang Yi immediately fell to the ground and shouted in fear:
"What should I do?"
Zhang Yi wanted to die.
If this matter were to be exposed, not only would he lose his position as the governor of Quanzhou, he might even lose his life.
Chen Xi was also shocked.
Wasn't it said to be a wealthy merchant family named Qian? How could it be the Pei family?
Just when I was wondering how to end this, my subordinate reported:
"Sir, General, the Pei Mansion has sent an invitation to the two of you to a banquet."
Chen Xi trembled violently, grabbed his men and asked:
"Did something happen?"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then handed over the invitation and said, "It is said that General Pei is very happy to have a son, and he is hosting a banquet to entertain all his colleagues in the officialdom of Quanzhou City."
"Nothing else?"
"No!" The subordinate shook his head blankly.
Chen Xi waved his hand and asked his men to retreat.
Zhang Yi trembled and said, "General Chen, what should we do? How about running away?"
"Escape?" Chen Xi sneered.
"My lord, this is our place. We have worked so hard to build it up for so long. Are we going to give up this huge foundation just for Pei Heng? It's not worth it! I don't think he would dare to do anything! Although he has made great achievements in the war, he is also a has-been! Otherwise, with such a big war in the north, why would the emperor leave him alone? And he fled to the south to recuperate?"
Chen Xi calmed down a bit and said fiercely, "Sir, when the time comes, we'll put the blame on Lieutenant General Tan. We'll say he's colluding with the Dali people and we knew nothing about it. I'll gather some soldiers and wait outside. If there's any sign of trouble, we'll wipe them out completely!"
Chen Xi made a killing gesture.
"Right! Right!" Zhang Yi nodded repeatedly. "That's right. Lieutenant General Tan is already dead, so there's no evidence!"
