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

After more than a year, Pei Heng finally saw his grandmother.

When the old lady saw him and Li Ji, she was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. She half leaned on the bed and kept wiping her tears.

"Okay, okay. I never thought I'd see my darling grandson again before I leave. I'll die without regrets."

Pei Heng sat down beside the bed and said with a smile:

"Grandma, what are you talking about? Your health will get better day by day. May you live a long life! Originally, A'li wanted to bring the children with her, but the capital cannot be left without people. Grandma, A'li said that as soon as the disaster in Jiangnan is over, she will bring the children to see you."

The old lady nodded with a smile.

"Ari is a good kid."

"If it weren't for her, our family would have collapsed long ago. How could we have achieved the prosperity we have today? When she immediately decided to marry you at the wedding hall, I knew this child was extraordinary."

"Brother Heng, you must be nice to her! She will bring you good luck!"

The old lady held Pei Heng's hand and gave him earnest instructions.

Pei Heng nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, grandma. I've kept everything A-Li has done for our family in my heart and won't forget it for even a moment."

If it weren't for Su Li's efforts to turn the tide, the Pei family would have been torn apart by now, and Pei Heng would have been turned into dust long ago. And the children...

Just look at Li Ji and you will know what kind of life they live.

Thinking of this, Pei Heng waved Li Ji over.

"Old lady!"

Li Ji is now the King of Qin. The old lady dare not accept his gift anymore and quickly stands up to get out of bed.

In Li Ji's heart, he really had no feelings for the old lady.

Back when he was still Pei Huan, the old lady was blind and always listened to and believed Xiao Wenshi. She was never warm or cold towards him, and sometimes even couldn't help but reveal contempt in her eyes.

She called him "Old Madam" reluctantly for Pei Heng's sake.

Not to mention saluting.

However, when he saw the old lady getting up to get out of bed, he still raised his hand.

"Madam, just lie down and have a good rest."

The old lady clearly felt his indifference.

Huan Ge'er and her relationship had long since eased. Although it was still cold, it was not so distant.

She glanced at Pei Heng inconspicuously.

Seeing Pei Heng lower his eyes and nodded, he could only lie back down with trepidation in his heart.

Li Ji had nothing much to say to the old lady. He walked out after a few words.

Pei Heng couldn't do anything about him.

After all, he and the Pei family owed Li Ji too much.

Pei Heng chatted with the old lady for a while. When he said that it was Pei Yan who blew up the dam, the flood was caused by Pei Yan, the people were also bewitched by Pei Yan, and he was the leader of the bandits in the mountains, the old lady was stunned.

Uncle San, who was accompanying him, slammed the table and stood up.

"Beast! He, he, he is simply..."

He was a gentleman, and he really didn't know how to scold this rebellious nephew. He was so angry that he walked back and forth in the room several times, and then sat down with a thud.

"I'm going to write a letter to my eldest brother, asking him to remove him from the Pei family! We don't have such people in our Pei family!"

When the flood passed through, countless fertile fields, people and houses were submerged.

Not to mention the dam that he and countless people built with great effort.

"Brother Heng, so, what on earth is he doing this for?" Uncle San really couldn't figure it out.

During the Chinese New Year, Pei Yan still enjoyed delicious food and drinks at his home.

How come he ended up doing so many stupid things?

"Why? Humph!"

The old lady snorted coldly, "This little bastard caused the Jinyuan Marquisate to be confiscated and exiled, and our entire family was separated by life and death, and now he still refuses to stop and commits more evil! We in the Pei family don't have such unfilial descendants!"

"Shijie, you don't need to ask your eldest brother for permission. Just write a letter and tell him that I, an old woman, have made the decision and will remove him from the family tree! From now on, there will be no such person in our Pei family anymore."

"Okay! Mother, I'll listen to you and write the letter right away."

Uncle San turned and went to the study.

The Pei family had finally survived the disaster, and now everything was thriving. They must not allow that bastard Pei Yan to lead them into an irretrievable situation again.

The old lady took Pei Heng's hand and sighed:

"Heng'er, it's so hard for you as their eldest brother. You think about them wholeheartedly, but in return you get an ungrateful person like him. Heng'er, your grandmother was blind for so many years, but now she can finally see clearly and think clearly."

The old man wiped the cloudy corners of his eyes and continued:

"The Pei family's century-long reputation has already been ruined once by that little bastard. We must not let him ruin it again this time. Brother Heng, this little bastard is bringing disaster to the country and the people. If you see him, I will beat him or kill him without a second thought."

Pei Heng nodded.

Grandma finally saw the light and saw the truth.

……

early morning.

Outside Lin'an City, the officers and soldiers participating in the bandit suppression have gathered.

They were all in high spirits and stood straighter than each other.

Bandits were causing chaos outside the city, and many surrounding counties, townships, and villages were looted.

Some people who usually committed many crimes in the surrounding area came to seek refuge there, and some bandits and hooligans also took advantage of the chaos to rob houses.

In short, there was chaos outside the city.

They had long been unable to bear it and were just waiting to send troops to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

What made the officers and soldiers extremely excited was that

The one leading the troops today was actually Duke Dingguo Pei Heng.

He was the God of War of the Great Qi Dynasty, an existence they could only look up to but never reach in their lifetime.

But the God of War happened to stand in front of them today.

Suddenly, everyone wished they could break their waists and stretched their necks straight, for fear of bringing shame to the Lin'an Prefecture defenders.

Pei Heng was fully armed, his armor shining in the sun.

Logically speaking, Pei Heng wouldn't be needed for such a small-scale bandit suppression operation. It would be like using a machete to kill a chicken!

But he has to go.

He would have to catch that bastard Pei Yan with his own hands.

……

"Father!"

In the expeditionary team, Li Ji suddenly jumped out from the side and grabbed Pei Heng's reins.

He stood under his horse, looked up and prayed:

"Father, let me go!"

"and then?"

Looking at Li Ji's painful and troubled eyes, Pei Heng couldn't harden his heart after all.

"And then you captured him and cut him into pieces to vent your hatred? And then what?"

Pei Heng tightened the reins and the horse's head rubbed against Li Ji's face.

"He deserves it!"

Li Ji gritted his teeth.

"I know. It wouldn't be a pity if he died a thousand or ten thousand times, but I don't want you to kill him with your own hands!"

Fatherly love appeared in Pei Heng's eyes.

"Your mother has worked so hard to make you a person with love and warmth in your heart. I cannot bear to watch you fall back into darkness."

"Your Highness, the bad guys are taking advantage of the imbalance in human nature to drag you into a wicked, stinking, and evil abyss. But we can't go!"

"You are lucky enough to come into this world. It means God has given you another chance to live a happy life with warmth and kindness."

"In this life, you have a mother, a father, a brother, and a sister. You also have the Queen Mother and the Emperor who love you, your own family. Your Highness, think about it from another perspective."

Pei Heng thought for a long time.

It would be more accurate to say that Pei Huan’s misfortune was caused by Pei Heng rather than Pei Yan.

If he had been stronger and not given up so easily, Pei Huan would not have gone through all that.

Fortunately, God gave Pei Huan another chance.

This time, he must protect his son.

"As for your hatred, father will avenge it for you! This is all my fault, and I should bear the responsibility. Brother Huan, let father protect you for once!"
