The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

Hate it?

Maybe I hated it before.

In every sleepless night due to illness and the servants' harsh words, he would lie awake and watch the room light up, then darken, then lighten, then darken again...

How he wished his father could come and see him.

But three years had passed, and except for the initial visit from his father, the frequency of his visits to Qingshan Courtyard became less and less, until he no longer came.

It is said that there are no filial sons by the bedside of a long-term patient, but what about the closest relatives?

He was a man of strong character, but he was tortured by illness and the malicious abuse of the women in the harem, which wore down his character to the point that he wanted to die.

Of course he hates it!

But now?

"Not really." Pei Heng said indifferently.

"Father is the head of the family. He can never be my father alone. Like you said, you carry everyone on your shoulders. After I cripple my father, I naturally have to support another son."

"Heng'er, your third brother has been a playboy since he was young, and he's not as sensible and obedient as you. You are the eldest, and you should understand your father's heart. Don't worry, even after your father passes away, I will let your third brother take good care of you."

Pei Heng smiled and said, yes, he is the eldest, so he should be more sensible.

He was taught this by his father since he was a child.

But now, he understands life.

Ali once said that a family suddenly becomes alienated because the person who was used to being at a disadvantage is no longer willing to suffer losses, and the sensible person no longer wants to cooperate.

This world always makes those who are sensible bear more.

He didn't want to pamper them anymore.

Because the more they are spoiled, the more bastards they become, and the more arrogant they become.

From now on, he has people he wants to pamper and people he wants to love.

And it just so happens that the people he pampers and loves also pamper and love him!

"Father, not everyone is worthy of my understanding!"

"Father, I understand you, but I don't agree with your actions. I now carry Ah Li, Huan Ge'er, and Xi Jie'er on my shoulders. No matter what happens to my children in the future, I will never give up on any of them. Just like Ah Li did today, I won't give up even if there's only a glimmer of hope."

"Father, my abilities are limited now, and I can't take care of so many people. I just want to use my limited abilities to protect the people who truly love me during my lifetime."

"As for the fact that Third Brother is taking care of me, there's no need to tell you. I'm afraid you don't even believe it yourself."

The Marquis choked.

He heard that today Pei Yan had his servants besiege Su Li by the lake and had a big fight with the servants of Qingshan Courtyard.

A hundred years later, will Pei Yan be able to take good care of Qingshanyuan?

To be honest, he really didn't believe it.

"Heng'er, have you ever thought about your grandmother?" The Marquis was still making his last dying struggle.

"Father, I've made up my mind. I'll go talk to Grandmother myself."

The father and son parted on bad terms.

When they returned to the room and closed the door, the couple had time to talk about what happened during the day.

Pei Heng clumsily took the gauze and medicine and personally changed the dressing on the scar on Su Li's forehead.

Su Li asked, "Have you told father about the separation of the residence?"

"Yeah." Pei Heng's hands were not yet able to do particularly delicate work, and the gauze was wrapped crookedly, but he still wrapped it very carefully.

"What did father say?" Su Li asked, looking up.

"Don't worry about him. Ah Li, we'll move as soon as Ping'er's business is over. We'll arrange for someone to go over there and clean up when we have some free time in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Su Li felt her nose sore and she snuggled into Pei Heng's arms.

Pei Heng hugged Su Li, patting her back with his big hands again and again. He comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, it's all over."

"Hmm." Su Li's nose was buzzing.

After thinking about it, I held back my tears and got up to take the medicine.

It was windy and rainy today by the lake, so I was sure I'd catch a cold. Ya Gu made some thick ginger soup, and everyone in Qingshanyuan drank several bowls. They all took baths and drank medicine.

She couldn't fall down now.

Pei Heng cooled the cold medicine and fed it to her himself. He then stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, put the bowl away, and said:

"Take the medicine and go to sleep quickly. You'll be fine after sweating it out."

Su Li lay down obediently, watching Pei Heng cover her with the quilt, and burst into laughter.

"Why did we switch places?"

Pei Heng pinched her nose and said, "You've taken care of me for so long, you should give me a chance to take care of you."

Su Li pouted and said, "Then come up. I want to hold you while I sleep." Then she moved in and patted the seat beside her.

Pei Heng naturally accepted the invitation from his lovely wife.

He propped himself up and lay down beside her, and then Su Li came in.

She was used to facing everything alone. Nothing was impossible. But she had never experienced someone suddenly stepping up and supporting her.

So this is what it feels like to have someone to rely on!

Her mood at the moment was like a wooden tower with the bottom piece pulled out, and she felt a little bit like an army in ruins.

So as soon as I calmed down, waves of fear, fatigue, and grievances instantly swept over me. My nose felt sore and tears started to fall.

"You know what? I was really scared during the day. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to save Huan Ge'er. He was still so small, his face wasn't even as big as your palm. Seeing him lying motionless in the water, my heart sank to the bottom..."

Pei Heng felt sad.

His Ah Li was strong and unyielding, shouldering everything in Qingshanyuan alone. No matter how hard or difficult it was, he never saw her cry.

But now I am crying so hard that I am choking.

He hugged her and gently touched her head, saying softly:

"I know. I'm scared too."

He stayed alone in Qingshan Courtyard, watching everyone running into the rain, he was extremely anxious. He wanted to get up from his wheelchair and run to Su Li.

He begged Nanny Li to take him there.

When they reached the lake, they saw Su Li surrounded by everyone. The people in the Marquis' Mansion were not in a hurry to rescue her, but were looking for trouble with her.

He saw Su Li's head covered in blood, but she was still desperately giving Huan Ge'er artificial respiration and chest compressions. His heart was in his throat.

At that moment, he was so afraid of losing any of them.

"Ari, let's take the children to the General's Mansion. Don't worry about all the mess in the Marquis' Mansion. From now on, let's live our own lives."

"Ok!"

Suddenly, Su Li looked up and asked, "You showed up today!" There were still two lines of tears on her face.

Pei Heng raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face and said with a smile:

"What? Are you really planning to keep me hidden forever?"

"I'm afraid that Madam and Pei Yan will see you and have bad intentions again."

"Don't be afraid!" Pei Heng touched her head, "With A-Li protecting me, I'm not afraid of anything."

Su Li then snorted, waved his fist in the air and said viciously:

"Don't worry, I won't let them bully you again! If they dare to mess with you again, I'll whip them to death!"

"Yeah! Let's cut them together."

Su Li pinched Pei Heng's clothes, wiped her nose and tears, and said in a humming voice:

"I'm afraid the news will spread outside, or even into the palace. The emperor might think you..."

Pei Heng said, "I was just thinking about this. I was planning to write a memorial to explain the matter to the Emperor."

Su Li jumped up.

"There is no time to lose, write now."

Take the initiative in everything.

But after grinding the ink and preparing the paper and pen, he encountered another problem. Pei Heng's hands were shaking uncontrollably, and the words he wrote were crooked and looked like ghostly scribbles.

Su Li guided them step by step, and they finally finished writing, explaining everything clearly. However, Su Li frowned when he saw the messy memorial.

"This, this is too ugly. How about I copy it for you?"

"No need! Just send it like this." Pei Heng hugged Su Li and said, "Okay, you're not sleepy, but I am. It's almost dawn..."

……

Although Ping'er was born out of wedlock, he was given the name "eldest".

On the second day, white cloth was hung in the mansion and everyone began to get busy with Ping'er's funeral arrangements.

Fortunately, everything is ready.

They were all prepared for Pei Heng in the beginning.

The coffin needs to be made again.

Liu Xu's eyes were swollen from crying, and she lay on the bed with a bruised face and nose, her tears had dried up.

She was unwilling to accept this, but no matter whether it was Qingshan Court or Fangfei Garden, they were all tightly guarded. And now she couldn't even leave Piaoxiang Pavilion.

When she thought of Ping'er lying alone on a wooden board in the mourning hall, covered with a white cloth, she spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
