The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

In the academy.

Mrs. Pei brought many of her treasured paintings and asked them to find the ones they liked and copy them.

Painting is something that requires patience and understanding.

If you insist on drawing something that doesn't suit you, the end result will be a mess. Even if the drawing is realistic, the meaning will be difficult to convey.

Mrs. Pei explained it to them one by one carefully.

Qiu Zhu didn't quite know how to start, but after hearing what Madam Pei said, she was amazed. "So that's how it is. Madam Pei, you are so amazing."

The call of "Master Pei" made Mrs. Pei laugh out loud, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Lord Pei, who was not far away, was stunned by the scene.

It seemed like he hadn't seen his wife so happy in a long time. Everything was fine in the first few years of their marriage, but after they had children, his wife seemed to have gradually become a different person.

She only thinks about her children every day and forgets about her husband.

He had to do every little thing himself, and gradually their relationship became distant.

Later the child grew up.

The lady's focus seemed to have returned to him, but she often gave him a different feeling from before, as if that was not the person he once liked.

Until this moment, Lord Pei's eyes were a little sore.

It turns out that the lady has never changed.

It’s just that my wife’s attention is focused on the family, and she is not as enthusiastic about her own affairs as she was before she got married.

"Master Pei, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.

Lord Pei looked back in surprise.

It was Song Xiwan.

He saluted hurriedly, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Princess."

Song Xiwan stared at Master Pei's eyes curiously and asked in surprise, "Master Pei, are you crying?"

"what?"

Lord Pei didn't expect the princess to ask this suddenly. He wiped his cheek with the back of his hand and found that the corners of his eyes were a little wet, and his old face turned red.

Why was he crying just now?

"It should be, it shouldn't be, it's just that the weather is a bit hot and I'm sweating."

Lord Pei denied it rather awkwardly.

Song Xiwan didn't expose him, and nodded in agreement, "It's a bit hot these days. Sir Pei, would you like to go inside and have some cold tea to cool down?"

Lord Pei froze in place, and then he remembered why he came here.

He wanted to take his wife back with him to mess things up.

Why did the princess invite him to tea?

"Do not……"

"How did you come?"

Over there, Mrs. Pei also noticed the situation here. Her face suddenly darkened and she walked over in three or two steps.

Master Pei watched her take two steps at a time, and his heart trembled. "Madam, please be careful. What if you sprain your ankle?"

Fortunately, Mrs. Pei did not fall.

She stared at her husband with extremely cold eyes and rejected his idea outright, "I will not go back with you. You'd better give up this idea."

Master Pei pondered for a while before he said silently, "I don't mean to take you back."

Mrs. Pei looked at him suspiciously, clearly not believing him.

The person who had argued with her last night was probably saying this on purpose because the princess was here.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, go inside and don't disturb them while they're painting."

Song Xiwan saw at a glance what the two were arguing about, and spoke up to smooth things over.

Now even if Lord Pei didn't want to drink tea, he had to go in. It was really because his lady seemed to be a little too malicious towards him.

"Humph!"

Mrs. Pei always listened to the princess and went into the house without saying anything.

She wanted to see what her husband had to say.

As soon as he entered the house, Lord Pei became even more reserved. On his left was his wife, and on his right was the princess.

He's like the filling in the pastry!

Song Xiwan smiled faintly and asked, "Master Pei, are you here to visit Madam Pei? You two have such a good relationship."

Lord Pei originally wanted to drink some tea to calm down, but unexpectedly the princess said this and he almost choked.

Madam Pei sneered, "Princess, you misunderstood. We have an average relationship."

"lady."

Lord Pei was helpless. Was it necessary to tell the princess everything?

"What? Did I say something wrong? Our feelings have worn out long ago. This is something we both know. There's no need to pretend to be affectionate on the surface."

Mrs. Pei has become tired of this over the years.

Especially after spending a long time in the academy these past few days and communicating frequently with the princess, she had some sudden realizations.

Is it really necessary to continue asking for something that you cannot get?

Lord Pei's eyelids twitched. He felt that his wife was getting more and more angry today, and seemed to be indifferent to their feelings.

He had a headache and didn't know how to start, so he could only explain honestly, "I really just came to see what you were doing. I didn't mean to stop you."

"That's not what you said yesterday."

Mrs. Pei didn't buy it and retorted aggrievedly.

Lord Pei glanced at the princess cautiously, fearing that the princess, who was rumored to be extremely fierce, would know that he had some complaints about the girls' school and execute him in anger.

He coughed lightly, "You misunderstood."

"Ah."

Mrs. Pei didn't believe it.

The two were deadlocked.

Song Xiwan then spoke slowly, "It's normal for couples to have some misunderstandings. This is a good opportunity to talk it out. Master Pei, don't you think so?"

"Yeah!"

Lord Pei nodded rapidly, fearing that if he was any slower he would upset his wife again.

Song Xiwan continued, "At the lake party a few days ago, Madam Pei told me that Lord Pei has been busy with official duties lately and has no time to pay attention to Madam Pei?"

This made Lord Pei's face freeze again, and he didn't know how to respond.

He had no choice but to admit it.

Song Xiwan sighed, "That's where you're wrong. Madam Pei's heart and eyes are all about you. No matter how busy you are, you still have to take care of your wife and children. How can you make her sad?"

Between the lines was a defense of Madam Pei, but the situation that Lord Pei least wanted to see still happened.

However, he didn't seem as frustrated as imagined.

On the contrary, I felt a little relieved for my wife. The princess seemed to be a really nice person and cared about my wife's feelings.

Mrs. Pei's grievances were shared with others, and her complexion improved slightly, but her words were still cold and hard. "That's right, I'm not the only one in this family, so why am I always the one who has to work so hard?"

Lord Pei opened his mouth, unable to refute.

Yes.

Why is it always the wife who does the hard work?

"It's meaningless anyway. If you're not happy, we can just get divorced."

"do not want!"

When Lord Pei heard those two words, he immediately stood up and loudly refused.

The roof was nearly blown off.

Mrs. Pei was startled and asked, clutching her chest, "Why are you so fierce?"

Master Pei was so anxious that he turned around and around. He apologized and said what he meant, "When we got married, we both swore an oath that we could only be separated by death, not by life!"

Now it was Mrs. Pei's turn to be stunned. She continued, "But if we want to keep doing it the way it was before, why bother?"

"It will never be like before. I will never let you suffer any injustice again, Madam."

After today, Lord Pei has come to his senses!
