Chapter 327: This Time I'm Going to Be Upright (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Because I understand that no matter how long we are together, even if we are tied together for the rest of our lives and never separated, this marriage will not be as I want."
Pei Zhan looked at the moonlit sky, and his voice was not ambiguous at all.
Fu Zhen said: "But didn't you still say that as long as you are together, you will be satisfied?" Now you're not satisfied? β
She didn't have to mention these old words to embarrass him, mainly because of his inconsistent attitude.
"Exactly." Pei Zhan looked at the curved moon, "When I saw you come back that day, I was full of joy, and I didn't hesitate to use some means to make you willing to fall into the net." On the night I got married, I didn't close my eyes all night, full of belief that your life is mine.
"Even if you repeatedly draw a line with me, I don't think so, I believe that as time goes by, you will always see my difference, and you will always find that I am no longer the awkward and dull child you saw back then, and you will always treat me as a real man.
"However, in this marriage, you have drawn a line for yourself from the beginning. You've never thought of changing your mind.
"I underestimated your character, you were not disturbed at all when Xu Yin lured you to appear with the sound of a flute, and when he confided in you, when he mentioned so many memories of your past, you were not disturbed at all.
"Xu Yin has bewitched Yongping, bewitched Princess Rong, bewitched He Qunying and the prince, and his sophistry skills are not deep.
"Every time I can't help but worry that you will waver in front of him, you will always be more determined than I expected.
"You've made me see a deeper layer of youβand I'll tell you the truth, you've made me sink deeper, but on the other hand, I'm more desperate.
"No matter what situation you are in, you will always be yourself, and you have made up your mind, and no one and nothing can shake it. If you can categorically throw away the past with Xu Yin, then for me, who didn't intend to accept it, naturally I won't accept it. You don't want to continue with a marriage that you consider expedient.
"Like you said, the love of children is the icing on the cake for you. The feats I have made may be great to many people, but they still don't impress you, because that's not what you fancy at all. I just set foot on the whole world, if you don't like me, you still can't like me. β
This is the first time Fu Zhen has heard Pei Zhan say such a long word and confide in such a deep heart.
Guilt welled up from the bottom of her heart: "Actually, I've been quite happy in the Pei family in the past few months. β
After a pause, she said again: "You don't have to be like this, how can Xu Yin compare with you?" These are different situations and cannot be compared side by side. β
She admits that she did not think about the marriage in the long term from the beginning.
But after hearing these words, she didn't know why her heart began to rise and fall, and it was not at all as stable as it was at the beginning.
"Of course it can be compared." Pei Zhan's eyes sparkled, "Let me ask you, if I don't agree to reunite, will you still live in Pei's house?" Will you obey me and continue to be married to me? β
Fu Zhen opened his eyes, picked up a fallen leaf on the steps, and tore it in his hand.
"No, it won't."
Where to live, Fu really doesn't care, but Pei Zhan doesn't need to pay for her for the rest of his life.
"Then in your heart, is it a little different for me?" Pei Zhan turned her face over, "You and Xu Yin have had so many unforgettable memories, you know very well what it looks like to be moved, so have you ever been moved by me?" β
Fu Zhen had never faced such a straightforward question. She slowly lowered her face to his straight gaze.
She knew very well from beginning to end what she was doing to become this parent, and even though she was endlessly grateful to him, she never confused gratitude with heartbeat.
Pei Zhan's gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and then retracted: "Your silence is the answer." Since you have not had the slightest affection for me, what can I do if I insist on keeping you? β
Fu Zhen opened his mouth silently.
Pei Zhan said slowly: "Originally, I thought that even if you didn't like me, being able to be with you for the rest of my life would be enough for me."
"But after listening to what you said to Xu Yin, I found that this is not the case.
"I want your heart more than to stay with you. Naturally, I have a way to do not get along, but in that case, it will be tantamount to imprisoning you with a marriage letter.
"When I first married you, I used despicable means, and if I selfishly tied you up again, I would look down on myself."
With that, he slowly stood up, his backlit under the steps, towering like a steep mountain.
"So, early tomorrow morning, we'll sign the paperwork."
Fu Zhen couldn't help but stand up.
She looked at Pei Zhan, who was close at hand, and held her breath.
The moonlight tonight is too gentle, obviously there is a heroic and domineering man in front of him, but the words he said at this moment have completely lost the cold air of Su Ri.
All the people she knew were disciples of Jiangmen, and even though many of them had studied, none of them had ever been as talented as Xu Yin.
In the northwest camp, Xu Yin's talent is indeed difficult to ignore.
Fu Zhen likes to listen to him talk about the content of the books, and he also likes the days when he gallops in the yellow sand and strolls under the moon.
Most of the beautiful moments outside the war are spent with Xu Yin.
She can't deny that she has a crush on Xu Yin, and she does know what it might be like when she likes someone.
For Pei Zhan, I can't talk about whether she is impressed at all, because she has never thought about this problem.
There is no doubt that Pei Zhan's outstanding exploits, as well as his performance in fighting side by side with him in the past few days, investigating and solving cases, are enough to prove his excellence.
If Xu Yin is the best among the scholars, then Pei Zhan is definitely the most eye-catching existence of the new generation among the generals.
In addition to talent, Pei Zhan also has the innate conditions that can arouse the hearts of young girls, he is tall and heroic, and he combines the advantages of Pei Yu and Mrs. Pei, and his facial features are handsome and heroic.
The point is that he is so heroic and upright.
So the young ladies who lined up to marry him at the beginning did not necessarily come because of his family background and the identity of the general's wife.
However, Fu Zhen didn't regard him as a peer at first, and later, as the case progressed, her mind was all on business, and she had no time to be distracted from thinking about it.
At this point, he cut a heart so clearly that she didn't know what to say.
At the beginning, he tried his best to get himself into the trap, it was simply unscrupulous to achieve the goal, and he did not shy away from his "despicable" means, who would have thought that he would let go so simply now?
"You mean really?" She asked.
"Of course." Pei Zhan calmly met her gaze, "Although I, Pei Zhan, am not a good person, I can still do what I say."
"At the beginning, I didn't have enough light to marry you, but now, I want to let you go and do something upright, so that you don't look down on me."
Fu Zhen swallowed lightly.
"It's not early, let's go back to the room." Without waiting for her to respond, Pei Zhan set his eyes on the night, "I'll go and ask someone to move the futon out, tomorrow morning, you just have to wait for the paperwork." β
After saying these words he turned and crossed the threshold, and the general's steps were so crisp that he was giving orders on the battlefield, and soon only the rustling of leaves remained in the courtyard in the autumn breeze......
Although they didn't know why they had to move out of the main room again, after Pei Zhan gave an order, Guo Song and their actions to move the bedding were still very fast.
When Fu Zhen stepped into the door, they just went out with a quilt pillow.
Guo Song sent his brothers to go first, stopped and said: "The general has not been very good at speaking well since he was a child, and he went to the northwest to train at a young age, if he says something to make the young lady unhappy, don't take it to heart!"
"Subordinate, I have followed the general for many years, young lady, you are the only person who can make him worry about tea and dinner!"
Fu Zhen tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Yes." β
"Can subordinates still lie?"
Guo Song said and glanced outside, "The general is still waiting for me in the ear room, I'll go first!" β
Fu Zhenmu sent him away, came to the empty couch, picked up a fan that had been left behind, looked at it, and then threw it back on the couch, walked into the stepping bed and lay down.
It was already deep in the night, and there was no one in the room, as if everyone was missing, and nothing could be heard.
β¦β¦
Pei Zhan stood in front of the window, just in front of the main house.
It wasn't until the lights on the other side were turned off that he left the window and collapsed on the bed with his clothes.
Who can sleep peacefully on a night like this?
Fu Zhen got out of bed at the usual moment of getting up, and just after breakfast, Guo Song came over with a shocked face.
"Young lady!"
"What's wrong?" Fu Zhen sat on the couch with a cup of tea in his hand and looked up at him calmly.
Guo Song was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and his hands, which usually carried a spear weighing dozens of pounds, trembled like chaff at this moment: "Young lady, the general has made a big mistake, you beat him, or punish him for not returning to the house for half a year, and then you can drive him out, why do you want to do such a ruthless act?" Ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be slept together! Why do you have to do that! β
Fu Zhen took the paper in his hand and read it, and sure enough, it was clear and clear in black and white, and she said: "He didn't make a mistake, but I didn't want to pass it." The doctor said that I can't have a child, and I don't want to give him a concubine, so I can't let him cut off the incense, right? β
Before last night, she had never wavered from her initial thoughts about what to do with this marriage.
No matter how much Pei Zhan looked like a big man before this, the image in Fu Zhen's mind was still the childish appearance when he was a child who could cry for a string of sugar gourds.
You see that he came up with such a method in order to kidnap her to get married, isn't this another proof of naivety?
So for a long time, Fu Zhen often laughed at his various flirtatious behaviors.
But today, when what she wanted and wanted went so smoothly, and when she got what she wanted without the slightest effort, she couldn't laugh.
Not only did he not laugh, but even the fluttering document in his hand seemed to have turned into a red-hot stone, heavy and hot!
"What you say is true?" Guo Song screamed again, "But the general said that it was him who was wrong, he said he, said that he had made an unforgivable mistake, he fell in love with someone else, and said that he was sorry for you!" What you say is different from what he said! β
Fu Zhen raised his head, and then scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, when did he see something different?" The reason is clearly in me! Don't believe him. β
How could she not know that Pei Zhan was using his own reputation to excuse her?
He wants to rush to be this bad guy?
This guy really wants to be beautiful.
"I'm afraid it's too late," Guo Song spread his hands, "The general has already gone to see the old lady, and he may have confessed to them at this time." β
"What?" Fu Zhen stood up immediately, "That's what he said?" β
It was she who was clearly determined to leave, why was he more anxious than himself? At least wait for her to sign the paperwork, right?
"Yes! He sent his subordinates over, and he went to the old lady himself. β
Fu Zhen gritted his teeth, grabbed the document and pulled out the door!
β¦β¦
In the main room, Pei Yu and Mrs. Pei had just received the news that Pei Mu was about to return home, and the couple were chatting after eating, when Pei Zhan came.
The husband and wife immediately put down the tea, racing against time to reflect on the places that had provoked him recently, who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he said that he was going to break up with Fu Zhen!
Pei Yu's hands were unsteady, and the teacup turned over half a cup of tea on its side: "What did you say?!" β
Pei Zhan's face did not change, and his heart did not beat, and he looked at them: "You heard it right. I have already asked Guo Song to take the book to her, and she should have signed it by now.
"Next, the house is going to move her dowry, and there is a lot of disturbance, so please avoid it with your mother.
"In addition, although my marriage is handled by me, it is just like when I first got married, some of the regulations are not sloppy, my mother-in-law, I also ask you and your mother to go and talk about it-"
"Bastard!" Before Pei Zhan finished speaking, Pei Yu slapped the table and jumped up, and then pointed at him and said, "You have worshiped heaven and earth, and you dare to break up with me if nothing happens?!" β
Mrs. Pei also stood up: "What are you messing around?" The old lady has long told you ugly things in front, our family only believes in a lifetime and a couple, dare to do that half-way thing for me, you will get out of the house for me! β
Pei Zhan was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I have reached a consensus with her. That's what she thought, too. It is useless for you to object. β
"You unscrupulous son!"
Pei Yu rushed over without saying a word: "Give you three points of color and you will go crazy!" This daughter-in-law is both wise and brave, how many can there be in the world? You can't find it with a lantern, you were going to marry alive and dead, but now you can't say it, how can I let you mess around?
"I'll break your leg first!"
Fu Zhenkan was embarrassed to get to the door, and when he saw this, he stepped up to block them: "General, stop!" β
Pei Yu lowered his head, looked back at his wife, and then looked at her: "What do you call me?" β
