The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 57

  Nurse Zhang took Pei You to another town and continued to beg.

  He suddenly became active, and when he saw luxuriously dressed people passing by, he knew how to shed some tears to win sympathy. Usually at this time they get more charity.

  Children under the age of four don't know what "cheating" is.

  Nurse Zhang always said that she would save money to take him to find his mother, so he really believed it.

  He also wants a mother.

  Find his mother, he should not be beaten or starve.

  He walked from town to town with Madam Zhang, and gradually became able to speak Lingnan dialect fluently. He met more people and things, and he became more and more memorized and sensible.

  He began to figure out how much money they could get each month, consciously or unconsciously asked people around him how much money they needed to go to the capital.

  He learned to count without a teacher, and worked harder to perform the appearance that adults like. He felt that soon, Madam Zhang would be able to take him to the capital to find his mother.

  But one day he found out that the place where Madam Zhang often came in and out was called the casino.

  She would go there with silver every time, and occasionally she would come back with a radiant face and boil an egg for him to eat, and more often, she would close the door and beat him with a sad face.

  He heard people say that the money lost in the gambling house cannot be returned.

  He was a little flustered, and taking advantage of Tianzhang's good mood, he asked her, "Mother, when will we go to Beijing to find my mother?"

Nanny Zhang drank wine that day, and laughed loudly when she heard the words: "You little bastard, do you really want to find your mother? Are you stupid? If your mother really gets separated from you, what kind of purse will I sew for you? What is the paper with your name written on it? You are probably abandoned by her on purpose!"

   "Your noble girl brought out a shameless child, gave her a name and sent her away overnight. Isn't this kind of thing rare?"

   "Don't be wishful thinking! You are someone no one wants!"

  Pei You bit Zhang Nanny's hand viciously, her mouth was bloody, no matter how much she scolded, she would not let go.

   In the end, a beating was inevitable.

Aunt Zhang locked him in the cowshed and didn't give him food or drink for three days in a row, and asked him to "reflect": "No one wants you little bastard! Besides me, who else do you think would want you?" ? Think about it! Without me, you would have starved to death!"

   That was the second time Pei You cried since he could remember.

  Close your eyes, that is the words of Madam Zhang.

   "You were probably abandoned by her on purpose!"

   "If your mother really gets separated from you, what kind of purse will you sew, and what kind of paper will you put your name on?"

   "You are someone nobody wants!"

  Pei You threw that treasured purse far away.

   No, who said this purse must have been given to him by his mother? He doesn't even remember who said it.

  Who said the name must be his? Maybe it was someone else's name, and the accident happened to him?

   His mother should still be dead, otherwise how could he be found in the mass grave?

   He must be dead.

  I died so I didn’t come to him, and I died so he had to live like this.

  It was winter, and four-year-old Pei You was nestling in the cowshed. She couldn't remember how many times it got bright and how many times it got dark. At first you will feel hungry, thirsty, and cold.

  I couldn't feel anything after that.

  Heat waves hit him one after another, pressing on his forehead and chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

  He was wrong.

  He doesn't want a mother, and he doesn't want a family anymore.

   He was born alone.

   Even to the point of death, one should be alone.

   He was delusional.

  Wen Ning saw that Pei You frowned slightly, and her forehead started to sweat. She no longer changed the veil for him, but took off the fur coat covering him, and took some firewood away to make the cave cooler.

  While doing these things, he sighed with emotion. As expected of someone who has practiced martial arts, such a serious injury has actually reduced the fever on its own.

  Of course she wouldn't know that Pei You's body had been forged during the year that she followed Nanny Zhang, otherwise she would have died on a certain winter day that no one knew about.

  After he finished sweating, Wen Ning touched his forehead, and the fever was no longer there, so he covered him with his fur coat again, and then sat aside to rest.

  The sky was getting darker and darker, and there was still no movement outside.

  Her carriage fell down the mountain, Linglan should immediately go to rescue the soldiers. Even though she went to the winery to inform Wen Qi that it would take some time for Wen Qi to enter the city and bring someone out, but it wouldn't take so long?

   Besides, there are people from the Duke's Mansion? The son fell off the cliff, the entire Duke's Mansion should be mobilized, right?

   Either the cave is really far away from the incident, and they haven't found it yet.

   That's weird.

  Wen Ning glanced at Pei You again, the fever subsided, his face became pale again, there was no blood on his lips, only the small mole on the bridge of his nose was still bright red.

  Today is the first day of the new year's duty. It is impossible for Pei You to leave the city so early and rush to the west of the suburbs of Beijing. It is likely that he did not go back last night and set off early in the morning to enter the city.

   But his route into the city was completely different from hers. The horses were crazy, so how did they end up in one place?

  Wen Ning was puzzled, vaguely felt that he had fallen with her, but thinking about the murderous intent in his eyes just now...

   That's all, the majestic Mr. Pei, it's not something she can guess.

  Wen Ning closed her eyes and decided to take a nap.

   When Pei You was gradually waking up from the chaotic dream, there was a faint fragrance that seemed to be absent from the tip of his nose.

  This smell is very familiar. He wandered through his mind, and the poem suddenly flashed in his mind-"The concubine intends to marry her body and marry her for life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed."

   is the incense on the paper.

  Later, the bold girl sent many love poems that also smelled of incense. When he lit those papers, it gave off such a fragrance.

   It was also in this fragrance that he had those weird dreams for the first time.

   Those dreams just now were not weird, but he hadn’t had them for many years since he arrived at the Wang family.

  Pei You opened his eyes from the scorching heat of the ice and snow in the dream, as if he could still see the disc-like moon at night. The bonfire crackled, and his mind returned to the present moment.

  He had a fur cloak under him, and his head was resting on the snow-white fox fur on the collar. He didn't need to look to know that it was a warm fur coat, so there was that smoky scent on the tip of his nose.

  The covering on his body is his own.

  He ignored the pain in his back, gritted his teeth and sat up, and saw Wen Ning sitting not far from him, close to the fire, leaning against the mountain wall, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

  Pei You looked away coldly, took a short breath, and turned to look over again.

In fact, Wen Ning has a very eye-catching face, with slender eyebrows and delicate lips, a delicate nose and black hair. When she picked up the elegant airs, she looked like a lady. When I saw her in Yuntinglou that day, if it wasn't for that With a "bad maid", he would be tricked by her.

  When Minglang laughed, his whole face became lively and bright again, and his eyes seemed to be shining with streamers. He had never seen a more innocent and charming little girl than her.

  Pei You frowned and turned away.

   Probably looks the same as her young lady, just pretending.

  Although there was a fire, it was winter and it was already late at night, so the cave was still shady and cold. Wen Ning didn't have a fur coat on her body, and she quickly shrank into a ball.

  Pei You glanced at her fur clothes, and planned to stand up.

   As soon as she moved, Wen Ning woke up.

  It was too cold, and she was sitting again. Wen Ning was already a light sleeper, but she woke up when Pei You made any movement.

   Then, the four eyes met.

  For a while...

   A little embarrassing.

  Wen Ning thought that he had to fall asleep until the rescuers came, but he woke up by himself not long after the fever subsided, and secretly sighed again how good his health was, no wonder Wen Neng was the number one scholar and Wu Neng was the general.

  Pei You held her fur coat in her hand, and when she saw Wen Ning woke up, she stopped getting up on her own and threw the fur coat at her.

  The two looked at each other silently again.

  Wen Ning actually doesn't want his fur coat, his breath will bring back some unpleasant memories for her. But firstly, she is really cold, and secondly, isn't she still pretending to admire him, how can he refuse his care?

   "If you were a cat or a dog, I would do the same, girl, don't think too much about it." Pei You said coldly.

  Wen Ning curled her lips secretly.

  I know, I know, you treat me differently, that's why I'm going to panic.

  Wen Ning had already thought about it before, now she is different from her first acquaintance, she can no longer be as obnoxious as before, and when Pei You gains power, the first thing she will do is to expel the Wen family from the capital.

  It's not like he hasn't done this kind of thing in his previous life.

   It's better to accept it when you see it.

  She didn't say anything, and covered herself with the fur clothes thrown over by Pei You as a quilt, which made her feel much warmer.

but…

  She raised her eyes to look for her fur coat, and found that Pei You was sitting on it, which was nothing, but the fur coat...

  The snow-white fox fur was stained with large blood stains.

  Wen Ning couldn't help taking a deep breath: "Mr. Pei, that...my fox fur...will you pay me for it?"
