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

What a risk!

She was just a little bit away from losing Huan Ge'er...

Fortunately, he was finally rescued!

The mother and son hugged each other tightly.

Pei Heng's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down and he turned around and said:

"Liancheng, send the young master back."

Lian Cheng bent down, picked up Pei Huan and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Liu Xu suddenly shouted loudly in the crowd.

She broke free from Pei Yan's embrace and rushed over, saying to Pei Heng:

"Are you trying to protect the murderer? Pei Huan killed my brother Ping! He killed his brother! Why did my son die, but the murderer can live? Leave Pei Huan behind!"

Liu Xu's face was extremely ferocious, and he was blocked by Qian Qianwan from the left and right.

Su Li struggled to stand up. Because she had been nervous for too long, her muscles were stiff. She stumbled and almost fell as she stood up.

Pei Heng quickly supported her.

"Ari..." His eyes were filled with worry.

"fine."

Su Li leaned on Pei Heng's hand and finally stood firm. She sneered, took two steps forward, and slapped Liu Xu hard in the face.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the slaps seemed particularly dull in the heavy rain.

Everyone subconsciously felt a pain on their faces. Gu, who was hiding far away, suddenly covered his face and shrank back, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Willow Catkins was stunned and took a while to come to her senses. She rushed over like crazy:

"Su Li, you hit me! Your mother, a murderer, hits people! I'm going to fight you!"

"Pa!" Another dull slap sounded.

Su Li slapped him again with her backhand.

The beating caused Liu Xu's cheeks to instantly burn with pain. Pei Yan rushed forward to protect Liu Xu, but when he saw Pei Heng following behind with murderous intent, he dared not do anything.

Su Li shouted:

"Liu Xu, open your eyes wide and look carefully! When we were in the water just now, it was Huan Ge'er who held onto the bushes by the lake with one hand, and held onto your Ping Ge'er with the other! If Ping Ge'er was kicked into the water by Huan Ge'er, why was Huan Ge'er in the water too? Why did he still hold onto him even though he was risking his life?"

"Where's your brain? The lake is overflowing today. Even adults can't see the way, let alone a child. Ping'er clearly fell into the water! And my Huan'er was saving him!"

"You were busy crying and didn't try to save him. Who do you blame when Brother Ping died? It was such a waste that Brother Huan risked his life to save him!"

"No! It's not like that! It's not like that!"

Liu Xu shook her head in panic.

How could Brother Ping fall into the water by himself?

Will not!

Liancheng was screaming "Ah Ba Ah Ba" nearby. He had seen it all when he went into the water to save the man. It was indeed as Su Li said. Huan Ge'er had been holding on to Ping Ge'er desperately and would not let go. But he was mute and could not speak. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

At this time, someone suddenly said weakly:

"The little one saw it, too."

As soon as the words fell, the servants who had just saved people echoed:

"General, I saw it too. Young Master Huan was indeed holding onto the bushes with one hand while desperately pulling at Young Master Ping with the other. When the two were rescued together, Young Master Huan's hand was still holding onto Young Master Ping's, and they couldn't let go no matter what."

"Yes! Yes! That's it."

"We all saw it!"

"Mom!" Behind him, Huan Ge'er suddenly opened his eyes weakly. He coughed a few times and said, "Mom, when I came back, I saw Ping Ge'er running in the rain. The lake water overflowed the shore, and he missed a step and fell in. I went to save him, Mom. I didn't mean to hurt him..."

Su Li touched Huan Ge'er's pale face and said softly, "Mother knows, mother knows everything. Huan Ge'er is a good boy and will not harm his brother. Mother always believes in you!"

After saying that, he signaled Liancheng to quickly carry Huan Ge'er back.

At this moment, the servants surrounding the periphery automatically dispersed one by one and stopped trying to stop them.

"No! Impossible!"

Liu Xu still didn't believe it, but she was helpless as she watched Huan Ge'er walk away. She could only punch Pei Yan, cursing as she did so:

"Say something! Ping'er is gone, he was your son! Are you speechless?"

Pei Yan was usually arrogant and dissolute, but now in front of Pei Heng, he didn't even dare to fart.

He was already shocked to see Pei Heng appear unharmed, and his mind was already in a mess. Now, being bullied and beaten in front of everyone by Liu Xu, he immediately became furious. He grabbed Liu Xu's fist and roared:

"That's enough! Don't you think it's not chaotic enough? Ping'er is being raised well by the princess, and you go and make trouble every day! It makes Ping'er uneasy, so he sneaked out to find you! If it weren't for this, how could he have done something like this!"

Liu Xu was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Pei Yan in disbelief.

This man she entrusted her body and soul to!

It was as if I was seeing him clearly for the first time!

"Say it again! Pei Yan, if you have the guts, say it again! Are you saying it's my fault?..."

"Xu'er, I, I didn't mean that... I..."

Here, Su Li no longer paid any attention to the crazy couple and turned to Pei Heng and said:

"How did you come?"

Pei Heng grabbed her, his eyes full of heartache and concern: "I'm worried about you."

"Fool! No one in the entire Marquisate can get any advantage from me. You are just fine, what if you get soaked?"

"I'm fine! I know you're capable, but I still want to stand behind you and be with you."

Pei Heng looked at Su Li, who was soaked and shivering with cold. The wound on his forehead had turned white from being soaked by the rain.

He held her hand tightly and said distressedly:

"Let's go home."

……

The strong wind and heavy rain continued.

The hearts of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion were like all living things in the wind and rain, swaying in the wind and rain, and in ups and downs.

The Marquis's wife was pale and trembling as she supported Nanny Qian. She didn't know how she got back to the house.

As soon as she entered the room, she took Madam Qian's hand and said tremblingly:

"Did you see clearly? He's fine. He's fine! Not only is he fine, did you see? His hands can still move! He... he, he's already healed!"

Madam Qian was also shivering from the cold.

"Madam, calm down! The eldest son is fine, but so what? The title of Crown Prince has already belonged to our third son, and the title of nobility has nothing to do with him anymore!"

"Yes! He is no longer eligible to inherit the title. Yes... but, but how did he get better? Wasn't he going to die? I clearly saw it with my own eyes!"

The Marquis's wife suspected that it was just a dream and pinched herself hard, gasping in pain.

Nanny Qian quickly brought a clean blanket to wrap the Marquis' wife up in, and comforted her:

"Madam, you'd better change your clothes quickly. Aunt Liu has gone to Fangfei Courtyard again, and there's still a lot of work to do!"

……

In Fangfei Garden, after listening to Lingrong's report, the Ninth Princess collapsed on the couch, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Dead, dead? Brother Ping is dead?"

Ling Rong supported him distressedly and said:

"Princess, please don't scare me."

"Princess, Concubine Liu is here and making a lot of noise outside." The palace maid reported cautiously from behind the screen.

"What a tactless thing! If she had come, wouldn't you have sent her away? And you even reported it to the princess! If she doesn't leave, I'll beat her out with a stick!"

Lingrong cursed.

The palace maid responded and went away quickly.

But the curses from Liu Xu still came intermittently:

"...You killed my brother Ping!...Give Brother Ping back to me!...Come out!"

The Ninth Princess listened to the scolding, and the sadness and helplessness on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sickly smile. She suddenly said coldly:

"I was going to strangle that little bastard to death. Now he's dead, all right!"

She raised the back of her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she stood up again, her face was cold.

"She's trying to make trouble, isn't she? Who the hell does she think she is? How dare she come and cause trouble for me! Lingrong, tie her up for me! Slap her in the face! If she still doesn't repent, beat her to death!"

Seeing the Ninth Princess like this, Lingrong finally felt relieved.

How can a princess, who is worth a fortune, be insulted in front of her by a lowly maid who has no idea of ​​her own limitations?

That bitch is so bold!

He immediately took people out and restrained the throwing tantrum Liu Xu.

"Come here! This slave girl is committing treason and insulting and slandering the princess. Beat her to death!"

The palace maids of Fangfei Garden were always arrogant and domineering. Seeing that the princess had not given any orders, they simply blocked Liu Xu from entering. How could they tolerate her insults now?

They immediately surrounded her, and several old women took out their boards and beat her to death.

"Ah!" Liu Xu had just enough time to let out a scream when someone hit her, causing her lips to break and blood to flow.

After a while, he fell to the ground with a bruised face and blood at the mouth.

Madam Hou and Pei Yan rushed over upon hearing the news.

The Marquis's wife was so frightened by this that her legs went weak. Not daring to offend the Emperor, she leaned against Madam Qian, trembling and clutching her hand tightly, not daring to breathe, her face turning pale, then blue, then purple.

Pei Yan thought about the blueprints and formulas he hadn't gotten yet, so he had no choice but to step forward and beg for mercy:

"Aunt Lingrong, please forgive Concubine Liu for the pain she has suffered from the loss of her son."

Ling Rong's eyes were cold:

"My dear husband, what happened to Ping'er was purely an accident! The princess was very sad to hear it! But you allowed Concubine Liu to cause trouble like this, which shows that you don't care about the princess, let alone the emperor! My dear husband, do you still want your head?"

Pei Yan suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and he knelt on the ground and said flatteringly:

"Yes, yes, Aunt Lingrong, I will definitely keep an eye on her and prevent her from causing trouble. Aunt Lingrong, please show mercy!"

"Let her go today! If she causes trouble again, you, my Lord, will have to prepare her coffin!"

Ling Rong snorted and then closed the door tightly.

Liu Xu fell to the ground, barely breathing, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and laughing crazily:

"Pei Yan! You're a coward! Coward!"

Pei Yan turned around and scolded:

"Shut up! This was just an accident. Why are you making such a fuss? What do you want?"

"Accident? Pei Yan, you actually said this was an accident?"

Liu Xu's eyes were bloodshot. She crawled to Pei Yan, grabbed him fiercely, and cried and laughed:

"If Pei Huan, Pei Xi, and Ping'er hadn't fought, how could Ping'er have been scolded by the Marquis? And how could the Ninth Princess have taken the opportunity to snatch my Ping'er away to Fangfei Garden? How could such a thing happen to Ping'er, and you actually say it was an accident?"

"It's clear they were in collusion! The two of them are in cahoots with evil intentions, teaming up to murder my brother Ping!"

"You just believed what Qingshan Court said when they said Pei Huan was saving people. Hahahahahaha, Brother Ping is dead, my Brother Ping is dead! The Ninth Princess has such a cruel heart that she didn't even let a child go!"

"Yes, one of them is your childhood sweetheart, and we almost became husband and wife. The other is a high and mighty princess, and now your wife. You can't bear to blame either of them! Only me! I have no one to rely on, so I can only rely on you! I suffered so much to give birth to Ping'er for you, and I suffered so much again to come to you, wholeheartedly planning your future, but what about you? Pei Yan, are you worthy of me?"

"Ping'er...my Ping'er is lying alone in his coffin, asking for help...ah!..."

Pei Yan's mouth was dry from coaxing her, and seeing that she was still like this, all his patience was exhausted. He waved his hand:

"Someone, come here, Madam Liu has gone crazy. Carry her back to Piaoxiang Pavilion. No one is allowed to let her out without my order."
