224 Dream on!

Since they were so close, it was better to let them rely on each other from now on!

Relief?!

Dream on!

Lu Ze sneered to himself. He had already decided on the rest of Ma Xiuzhu’s tragic life!

A silkpants like him, who had once experienced wealth and glory and was admired by everyone, had become a useless person overnight. He even had to rely on others to serve him. With such a contrast, he would probably drive people crazy!

After applying the medicine for Lin Suisui, Lu Ze slowly walked out of the room. He stood under the corridor and wiped his hands with a handkerchief as he turned his head and instructed, “Go and tell Su Qi that seeing that the Ma family’s mother and son are so close, I really can’t bear to see them separate. I’ll seal his mouth and treat his injuries. Then, I’ll let Ma Xiuzhu go back in one piece!

“In addition, don’t forget to tell Ma Xiuzhu that he was able to survive because of his mother’s motherly love for him!”

After saying that, Lu Ze put the handkerchief away and turned around to enter the room.

“What are you looking for?!”

After Lu Ze entered the inner room, he saw Lin Suisui standing by the cabinet beside the bed. She seemed to be looking for something, so he couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m looking for my handkerchief. Didn’t I do needlework with Aunt Luo and the others on the way to the north previously? I remember making more than ten handkerchiefs, but I can’t find any of them now!”

As Lin Suisui flipped through the items in the cabinet, she muttered to Lu Ze in a low voice, “But I remember that we didn’t lose our luggage back then. Why can’t we find it?!”

“Perhaps it was taken away by Little White?!” Lu Ze pressed his lapel calmly and analyzed for her seriously. “Or perhaps it was lost on the way?!”

“Forget it. I’ll embroider it again when I have time next time!” Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment. She didn’t rule out the possibility that Lu Ze had mentioned, so she didn’t continue to harp on it. However, when she heard Lu Ze mention Little White, Lin Suisui thought of Little White falling into the lake in the backyard in the afternoon. She couldn’t help but smile and share with Lu Ze, “Don’t mention Little White anymore. I have to accompany Little White in the garden in the afternoon. It’s getting more and more mischievous!

Yuan Niang made a small ball for it, but Little White accidentally bit it and threw it into the lake!

As you know, the lake has long frozen. Two days ago, the craftsman said that he wanted to investigate the silt in the lake, so he broke the nearby ice!

It’s just a thin layer now. It was fine when the ball hit it, but when Little White pounced on it from so far away, it collapsed. After Little White climbed up, it looked so pitiful!”

When Lu Ze heard Lin Suisui’s story, he couldn’t help but smile. “It’s snowing too heavily outside now, so it’s unsuitable to bring it out anymore!

In a few days, if I have to leave the city, I’ll bring it out for a walk. Otherwise, it’ll be too boring if it stays in the courtyard at the back all day long!”

Hearing Lu Ze’s words, Lin Suisui smiled as well. “That’s good. If Little White finds out, it’ll probably be overjoyed!”

Lin Suisui and Lu Ze were chatting and laughing, but Pei Qian, who was in the general’s residence, was filled with frustration when he faced his aunt, Pei Zhaoyue, who suddenly came looking for him.

“Songtao, I took care of you when you were young! Now that I’ve been insulted, you can’t just watch as I suffer, right?!”

When facing Pei Qian, Pei Zhaoyue was clearly not as bold as she was with Gao Xuyuan. She was still a little afraid of her nephew, who she had not paid much attention to in the past.

At this moment, when She faced Pei Qian’s smile, Pei Zhaoyue felt a little terrified.

“What do you want?!” Pei Qian pinched the chess piece in his hand and amused himself by looking at the black and chess pieces on the chessboard. “In the north, who can possibly make you unhappy?!”

“It’s the leader of the Imperial City’s government who just arrived in the north, the one with the surname Gu! I don’t know what possessed your uncle, but when he heard me mention the couple’s names, he was so frightened that he wanted to cover my mouth!

No matter what, you have to let me vent my anger this time!

Otherwise, how would I live in the north in the future?! Wouldn’t anyone be able to bully me?!”

Seeing that Pei Qian’s attitude was still gentle, Pei Zhaoyue slowly let go of her scruples and became more impudent.

“Do you know the background of the couple you’re talking about?!” The white piece in Pei Qian’s hand landed steadily on the chessboard and easily defeated the surrounding black pieces.

As he reached out and slowly placed the black pieces into the chess box at the side, he looked sideways at Pei Zhaoyue and smiled as he asked nonchalantly.

“Uh, how would I know?! I only know that he just came to the north!” Although Pei Zhaoyue didn’t know why Pei Qian asked this question, she still replied nonchalantly.

“So my uncle didn’t tell you! No wonder!” Pei Qian sighed and raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows helplessly. Then, he continued to look at the chessboard in front of him as he explained to Pei Zhaoyue, “Gu Erlang and Madam Liu are my friends!

Along the way, I was lucky to have their help to complete this mission smoothly!

“Aunt, do you think your meager care is more important than the relationship between that couple and me?!”

“What do you mean?!” No matter how slow-witted Pei Zhaoyue was, she could tell that something was wrong. She stood up from her seat and looked at Pei Qian, who was still sitting by the chessboard, in shock. “You mean that you’d rather protect two outsiders than help your aunt?!”

“More or less!” Pei Qian narrowed his eyes as the smile on his face became even more kind and gentle. “Do you have anything else to say?!”

“Does your father know that you dare to treat me like this?! You unfilial son! I’ll tell your father. He will teach you a lesson if he finds out what you’ve done!”

Pei Zhaoyue was so angry that her eyes turned red. She didn’t expect that the person who angered her the most today was actually her nephew, who she thought would definitely help her vent her anger!

“Go ahead!” Pei Qian raised his hand and made a perfunctory gesture. “I want to remind you that you can report me however you please. You won’t be able to hand it out anyway, and my father won’t be able to accept it. Why bother?!”
