Pei Qianhao placed the wine cup on the table . “This wine is suffused with the fragrance of flowers; it’s best for women . Since you’re not going to drink it, this Prince has also lost the mood to drink . Bring some tea upstairs later . ”
Finishing his instructions, he departed for his private room without sparing Su Xi-er a single glance .
Su Xi-er watching Pei Qianhao until he reached the upper floor and vanished from sight . They say that obtaining a woman’s heart is like groping for a needle in a haystack, but why do I feel like this saying is more apt for a man’s heart?
This is especially true when we’re talking about men like Pei Qianhao . He can be capricious and do what he wants, but he can also make careful deliberations when there’s a need to do so .
Right at this moment, there was a commotion at the inn’s entrance, and the adorable voice of a boy could be heard . “Big Sister, it’s really you . Mummy, Big Sister is here!”

Su Xi-er turned around . It’s actually Xiaobao! How did he end up here?
Xiaobao’s face was plastered with smiles as he immediately went forward to grab Su Xi-er’s hand and swayed it . “Big Sister, Mummy and I went to the market to check out tiles in hopes of renovating our house . ”
Renovation requires money, but where could Xiaobao’s family have gotten such money from? Su Xi-er was bewildered . Could it be that someone gave their family silvers?
At this moment, Née Li appeared with a package of new fabric in her hands . “Saviour, I didn’t think I would be able to see you again . Xiaobao, come here quickly!”
Née Li came forward to gently push down on Xiaobao’s shoulders, making him kneel together with her . “Xiaobao, kowtow to our saviour together with your mum . ”

Su Xi-er was unable to receive such an elaborate ceremony of gratitude . Before Née Li could kowtow, Su Xi-er immediately supported her . “Quickly stand up . It wasn’t much at all, so you don’t have to take it to heart . You have to live your days well with Xiaobao in the future . ”
Née Li couldn’t stop her tears from flowing out . “Saviour, please let Xiaobao and I kowtow . After you taught that Widow Liu a lesson, that bastard man apologised and kowtowed to me, but I won’t forgive him anymore . He only has eyes for money . Saviour, thank you for the many new bowls and silvers you sent to our house . Xiaobao and I will never forget you . ”
Née Li then moved away from Su Xi-er’s grip and pulled Xiaobao to kowtow together .
This time, Su Xi-er didn’t stop her . I don’t even have silvers, so how could I have sent them to their family? Who sent it?
Su Xi-er looked towards the second floor and happened to see Pei Qianhao standing there, silently observing the scene on the first floor .

When their eyes met, a glint of light flickered across Pei Qianhao’s eyes, and Su Xi-er immediately averted her gaze .
“Saviour, Xiaobao and I will never ever forget your immense kindness . Where do you stay? After Xiaobao has grown into an adult and I have died, Xiaobao will seek you out and work diligently to repay you . ”
Xiaobao immediately burst into tears upon hearing that . “Mum, you won’t die . Xiaobao will be together with you forever . ”
A child’s world is very pure and simple . Even a casual word is sufficient to make them associate it with life and death .
Su Xi-er supported Xiaobao to stand up and smiled as she caressed his head . “Your mum was joking with you . Xiaobao, with how cute you are, how could she bear to leave you? When you grow into an adult in the future and marry a virtuous wife, your days will get better . ”
Afterwards, Su Xi-er also supported Née Li to stand up . “Live your days well with Xiaobao . Everything will get better . ”
Née Li raised her sleeves to wipe her tears and repeatedly nodded . “Many thanks, saviour . ”
And yet, it was at this moment that a man’s voice could be heard: Zhang Zhuang, Née Li’s original husband .
“Wife, why did you run here? I have bought candied fruits and this flower for you . ” Zhang Zhuang took out the candied fruits and a Lingrui flower, directly passing them to Née Li .
When Su Xi-er saw the Lingrui flower in Zhang Zhuang’s hand, she inwardly snorted . This kind of person is not fit to hold Lingrui flowers!
