The sky is dark tonight.

In the secret room of Hu's manor, the candlelight was dim.

Carefully check Pei Guichen's chest injury, change the bandage, and re-bandage it.

After working for a while, old man Yuan boasted about it.

“I’m so awesome!”

Xu Ying looked at her eldest son worriedly. The injury was healing too slowly. It had been nearly twenty days, but the wound on his chest was still bleeding and staining the gauze red.

"The elder said this, does this mean that the young master's injuries have recovered very well?" Xu Ying probed.

Hearing this, Old Man Yuan smiled meaningfully.

"Young Master, if even Princess Xuanyuan can't save you from your heartache..." Old Man Yuan looked at the sickbed and saw Pei Guichen tying the belt of his thin inner garment. He couldn't help but smile even more: "Then, no one can heal you anymore!"

How could Xu Ying not understand the double meaning of this sentence?

But the young master was beside her and the elder was of respected status, so she couldn't get angry.

Resisting her displeasure, Xu Ying smiled and said, "The smell of blood in this room is really uncomfortable. Sir, can I light a cold incense for you to disperse it?"

Pei Guichen, however, remained calm and raised his eyes slowly to look at old man Yuan.

“Do you know the use of tongue?”

This indifferent look and this curious question.

But it made old man Yuan feel a chill down his spine.

He suddenly remembered that this Young Master Pei had been seriously injured for more than half a month, and although he seemed so weak that he couldn't even tie a chicken, it was also this Young Master Pei who was always the best at hiding.

Weakness is false; madness, paranoia and cruelty are real.

Therefore, Old Man Yuan knew that this was the final warning.

Some sarcasm should be stopped at the right time and stopped while the going is good.

"Of course I know, old man. The tongue is used for speaking." Old man Yuan quickly forced out a fake smile: "Speak properly, haha, speak properly..."

When Xu Ying brought the midnight snack, she happened to see this scene and felt happy.

"Sir, this is your favorite almond milk soup. It's just the right temperature. Would you like to try it?" She consulted the best chef in Western Xinjiang and was sure that this time she would be able to win the young master's stomach.

She nervously waited for her young master to take it and taste it.

Xu Ying was very uneasy: "Is it still to your taste?"

Pei Guichen remained silent, staring at the almond milk soup in the white porcelain bowl. It was smooth and tender, with the fragrance of almonds, leaving a long aftertaste in the mouth.

But he still thinks that almond soup tastes best with a spoonful of honey-brewed osmanthus.

The whole bowl of almond milk soup was left untouched.

Pei Guichen lowered his eyes in silence and continued to weave the half-finished bead necklace in his hand.

The red bean beads from the East China Sea coast are priceless and auspicious objects for marriage, warm and clear.

Use pure gold wire to weave a silk chain, and then string red bean beads together.

On Abao's birthday, he will put it on her wrist himself. It will definitely look better than the jade pendant he originally prepared.

So before that, he had to make sure of one thing.

"It's a strange relationship." Pei Guichen asked hoarsely, "Who else in the world knows this except you?"

I haven't heard the four words "broken love and deep connection" for a long time, and they suddenly hit me.

A face covered with burn scars that could scare anyone to death flashed through my mind.

The playful, childish smile on old man Yuan's face froze for a moment.

And this subtle abnormality was keenly captured by Pei Guichen.

"What? You don't want to say it?" Pei Guichen lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covered with haze.

Old man Yuan immediately smiled again: "How could it be! I have always been open and honest with you, young master! I just remembered that you asked me about this before, so I am surprised why you asked me again."

"What you really want to ask, young master..." Old man Yuan chuckled: "Yes?"

Pei Guichen's eyes were sinister: "How can we raise them again and break off our emotional connection?"

Old man Yuan couldn't help laughing sarcastically, "Young Master, do you think that love and hate are fire starters that can be lit and extinguished at will?"

"The spiritual connection between the broken and the new, even if it was a thousand years ago, it would be against the will of heaven, let alone now?"

Old man Yuan felt that his dignity as the master of the Yuan family's secret arts was severely challenged: "Old man, I must explain it clearly to you, young master! Right now! The blood of that Princess Xuanyuan can even untie the peach zombie on Meng Guanjing's body."

"I want to use the Broken Heart Telepathy on her again, but it's useless."

Pei Guichen suddenly stopped weaving the beads and repeated hoarsely, "Useless?"

Old man Yuan was very happy to hurt the eldest master's heart.

"It's useless! It's useless! It's useless!"

After hearing three consecutive firm "no use", Pei Guichen felt cold all over.

The secret room fell into silence for a long while.

Pei Guichen didn't know what he was thinking about. He raised his eyes coldly and looked at Xu Ying.

"Pei Nanshan, what have you done recently?"

Xu Ying suppressed her jealousy and said gently, "There is news that the head of the family and Princess Xiao exchanged tokens of marriage between the two families, and they plan to take action on the Qulianghe Monument."

Pei Guichen's cold eyes suddenly darkened, and he commented: "Idiot."

Old man Yuan was curious: "What's wrong?"

Pei Guichen did not answer, but only cared: "What is the token?"

Xu Ying thought about it carefully and said, "It should be the Chimei ring of the Pei family."

After he finished speaking, Pei Guichen's frosty face actually smiled.

Old man Yuan was instantly certain that his son had chosen an excellent date for his death.

At the same time, in the mountains outside the north of the city.

A carriage carrying a brothel was parked beside the mountain road.

Jian Qian, the leader of the secret guards, was puzzled: "Master, what are we doing in the Hu family's manor? Didn't Miss Baicha leave Jiangnan with the Hu family caravan three days ago?"

Xuanyuan Fengran lifted the curtain of the carriage and swept his gaze across the surrounding mountains.

Who saved the dying Pei Guichen?

The most likely person is Princess Jialuo, who is hiding behind the Hu family.

On the night of the heavy rain on the cliff, Pei Guichen's escape route by jumping off the cliff happened to be not far from this place.

The village outside the city means it is quiet and not easy to be noticed.

The Hu family has enormous financial resources.

I can use rare medicinal herbs every day to heal Pei Guichen's injuries.
