Her voice fell, and the room fell silent. The rest of the people thought that Xiling Yue had learned the truth about her life experience and decided to choose Li Chengxuan. Only Pei Xingli understood in his heart that the reason was by no means so simple. And this time, he couldn't say no.

If he was just a little general in Zhenhai and a child of the Pei family who was in the middle of the road, he would definitely accompany her desperately, even if he wandered the world, even if he was incognito, he would not hesitate to do so!

But now he is the heir of Pei Yan, the son of the leader of the Eastern Dependents Pei, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of the continuation of the Pei family! Pei Yan treats him as if he was his own child, and mediates for his future and marriage; The people also had high hopes for him; Not to mention that the Son of Heaven is so suspicious, but he repeatedly forgives him and respects him!

All this has become a responsibility that he cannot shirk! The position of the prime minister of his father Pei Yan is at his fingertips, and the prosperity of Pei is in front of him, and nearly a thousand clansmen look up to him...... So that he can no longer do as much as he used to!

This is also the reason why he was not enthusiastic after reuniting with Xiling Yue. Because of the escape, Xilingyue was expelled from the Guo family and deprived of the title of county lord, and Pei Yan had concerns about this marriage.

It was his repeated insistence and repeated hints in front of the saint that he reluctantly redeemed the relationship between the Pei and Guo families. He thinks that even if he wants to withdraw from his family, he must be Xilingyue who takes the initiative to propose, and he must not fall into the well when she is difficult and ruin her reputation.

But he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Xilingyue would be willing to be his wife after the turmoil.

But such a faint trace of thought was completely destroyed at this moment!

If Xilingyue is His Royal Highness Kang Xing and an orphan of the Wu family, how should he accept her? How do I explain to my father? How do I give an account to the Holy One?

The lessons of the Guo family are in front of him, he must not take the glory of the entire Pei family and his father's future as a child's play, he must not be ungrateful.

At the beginning, it was Li Chengxuan who arranged such a new identity for him; Later, it was also because of this identity that he was able to reluctantly climb this marriage; And now, everything is back to the beginning, back to the beginning.

Going around and around, it's all providence.

Everyone in the world envies the dignity of the family, but few people understand the bitterness. Those wealth, those fame, and those romances are what many people have sacrificed themselves to get in exchange.

And from a down-and-out son to the backbone of the family, he has no way out.

Thinking of this, Pei Xingli silently cleaned up his gloomy mood, and when he looked up again, his expression had returned to normal. He gave Xiling Yue the most free and calm smile, and a crisp reply, "Okay." ”

Yes, pride as he finally understands that there is no fate in his life, and he cannot force it.

Two days later, Xi Lingyue and Li Chengxuan walked out of the gate of the county government.

The two rode together and came to the market in Wuning County to wander, and their posture was so intimate, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

They bought a lot of knick-knacks at the bazaar, like a very ordinary couple, with affectionate eyes and no one around. The reason why this was done was mainly to provoke Xiao Yi to appear, but because the emotions between the two had been suppressed for too long, they were finally able to openly join hands, and they were sincere with each other.

In just one morning, they walked around the market from beginning to end, and observed all the way, which also confirmed Li Chengxuan's previous guess - most of the people in Wuning County know martial arts.

In order to buy more time for Wu Yuanheng, the two planned to have lunch first. They deliberately chose the largest restaurant with a large number of merchants, and sure enough, as soon as they entered the door, they heard all the local dialects in their ears, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan and Shu...... There are few local guests.

In front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Yi must not be easy to do, so Xilingyue settled down, chose a window position with Li Chengxuan, and invited Dr. Tea to order.

Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper came over and politely asked the two, "If the two distinguished guests don't dislike it, how about letting the small shop be the main servant?" ”

Li Chengxuan immediately understood, and before he could open his mouth to answer, he heard Xilingyue ask sluggishly, "What, does the shopkeeper have a recommended dish?" ”

"You laughed," the shopkeeper bowed down and laughed back, "the proprietor of the small shop has indicated that he wants to give the two distinguished guests a good meal." ”

Only then did Xi Lingyue react, and her face changed slightly.

Li Chengxuan was very calm, "Just do as you say, and thank your owner on our behalf." ”

The shopkeeper bowed slightly, and motioned to several tea doctors not far away, and saw that they each picked up a tray and walked over to set up a table of good dishes.

This alone has shown that the two have been under the surveillance of the Xiao family's father and son. Li Chengxuan believes that no matter which restaurant he and Xilingyue go to today, as long as they are still in Wuning County, it will be the result they are now.

Quail crystal tusley, jade bean cake, osmanthus fish sticks, auspicious ruyi rolls, ancient buildings...... Finally, there is a soup, which is transparent and slightly viscous, with a layer of peach petals floating on it, and a fresh fragrance comes to the nose.

Li Chengxuan swept it slightly, and smiled at the shopkeeper, "You can still find osmanthus and peach blossoms in May, and your family has a heart." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and didn't answer, but only stretched out his hand and asked, "Two slow use." With that, he took the tea doctors and retreated.

Li Chengxuan remembered that Xilingyue liked to eat osmanthus flavored pastries, so he sandwiched a piece of osmanthus fish sticks and put them on the dishes in front of her, but found that she was staring at the dishes on the table in a daze, and her eyes were already slightly red.

He didn't ask any more questions.

"These are my favorite foods in the past." Xilingyue took the initiative to mention it, pointing to the soup as she spoke, her voice trembled a little, "And this soup, this is ...... It's ......"

This is the first time in her life that she cooks for Xiao Yi. When she was sixteen years old, she and he expressed their hearts to each other and made a mandarin alliance, which was the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Xiao Yi broke off a peach blossom and gave it away, so she picked all the petals and happily made this soup and brought it to him.

At that time, Xiao Yi had a momentary accident, and even laughed at her, "Other girls have received love tokens, and they are all properly kept, you are fine, and they are cooked and eaten directly." ”

She scoffed and retorted confidently, "How many days can peach blossoms bloom?" I made soup for you to drink, don't you understand what I mean? ”

She was hinting to him that she was willing to marry him and wash her hands and make soup for him.

She clearly remembered Xiao Yi's reaction at the time, he only took a sip, and then showed a bright smile to her, "It's so sweet." ”

And she believed it and urged him to drink all the sweet soup.

It wasn't until a long, long time, until she made many peach blossom sweet soups, that she finally discovered that the soup was not sweet at all, and the water boiled from the peach blossoms was bitter, and no matter how much sucrose she put in, it was bitter. And the pungent fragrance and the sweetness that emanate are nothing but a temptation, a deception.

Memories surged at this moment, and Xiling Yue didn't dare to look up at Li Chengxuan. She trembled and picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth, but tears fell down her eyes.

It's sweet, it's sweet, it's sweeter than every time she's done it before, without the slightest bitterness.

Just like the first half of her life, she was carefree under the care and pampering of that person, and her memories were full of happiness and sweetness.
