After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 267 Sanlang is back

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback when she heard this. Pei Yuan had actually told his subordinate Bei Yan about this? Su Xiaoxiao looked at Bei Yan in front of her with a little embarrassment.

At this moment, Bei Yan blushed and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Our General Pei is a great general who commands a region! Over the years, he has been brave and skilled in battle, and he is a war god who makes the enemy tremble with fear. Really, those matchmakers have kicked down the threshold of our general's mansion, and many people have returned disappointed, including some powerful and wealthy people, who were all rejected by our general in the end."

Su Xiaoxiao knew that Bei Yan was speaking up for their general.

"You actually refused outright."

Su Xiaoxiao could only smile, indicating that she was speechless.

"Moreover, our master doesn't want to stop you from going anywhere, won't interfere with anything you do, and doesn't care that you already have a child. He doesn't care about these gossips; he just wants to marry you."

Seeing Bei Yan's face turn bright red, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle and tease him, "I know, since you're so concerned about your general, how could I bear to refuse? Besides, you said yourself that your general is so good, right?"

"What? Mr. Su, you agreed?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Pei Yuan and smiled, "Well, that depends on your general. If he continues to be persistent and doesn't give up, I might agree!"

Su Xiaoxiao kept everyone in suspense, and as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Bei Yan shout excitedly.

"That's wonderful! My master will be here in a few days. You two can then choose an auspicious day to get married..."

"Aren't you being too impatient?"

Seeing how anxious Bei Yan was, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that he was about to get married.

"Cough cough..."

Just then, a soft cough came from the doorway, and a tall figure stood in front of it.

The voice was all too familiar; Su Xiaoxiao immediately thought of Pei Yuan.

She turned around, her heart pounding, and she couldn't help but call out that name with emotion.

"Saburo."

It had been thirty-three days since they last met. After calling out his name, Su Xiaoxiao lifted the hem of her skirt and ran towards Pei Yuan at the door.

"Wait a minute, I'm back, Xiaoxiao."

Pei Yuan's deep voice called Su Xiaoxiao's name, and she found it incredibly beautiful.

"Master, you are back."

Bei Yan happily ran towards Pei Yuan, like a child.

"Master, it's been so long! How are you? I've missed you so much."

"Hey...can you two stop being so mushy?"

Su Xiaoxiao was about to be overwhelmed by the deep bond between the two men, master and servant.

Pei Yuan looked at Bei Yan and said seriously, "I understand. But speaking of which, it's almost midnight. Is it really appropriate for you and my wife to have a heart-to-heart talk under the moonlight?"

"This……"

"Go to sleep, don't be a third wheel."

Upon hearing this, Bei Yan blushed. "Yes, but Master, we haven't seen each other for so long. I have so much to say to you!"

However, at this moment, Pei Yuan had no place for Bei Yan in his eyes and glared at him impatiently.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Alright, then Master should also get some rest."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Xiaoxiao with great reluctance before finally walking away with a heavy heart.

Su Xiaoxiao was almost doubled over with laughter at the two of them. "Did you miss me? Bei Yan just said so, why didn't you say anything? If you miss me, you should say it!"

Pei Yuan said this. Su Xiaoxiao was about to express her longing to him, but before she could even open her mouth, she felt her feet leave the ground, and then Pei Yuan carried her into their room in a princess carry.

"What? Put me down right now."

Su Xiaoxiao's face was flushed, and after Pei Yuan put her down, she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Shy?"

Pei Yuan casually tossed his long silver fur cloak onto the bed, staring blankly at Su Xiaoxiao.

Under the light in the room, Su Xiaoxiao saw that Pei Yuan's face had become a little thinner and darker.

She couldn't help but walk over to Pei Yuan, reach out and touch his face, saying, "You've lost weight?"

Pei Yuan grasped Su Xiaoxiao's hand and continued, "Yes, I missed you."

"You just said you would marry me, do you still mean it?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "Have you broken off your engagement with Tang Xiaoman?"

Pei Yuan nodded.

"His Majesty has promised me that if we win this battle, he will rescind his order."

Su Xiaoxiao was happy to hear the news, but she was also worried about whether Pei Yuan would be able to return safely after the war.

Pei Yuan noticed Su Xiaoxiao's worry and immediately said to her, "Don't worry about me."

That night, the two slept in each other's arms.

The next day, the snow outside was more than two feet deep. Da Bao and Xiao Bao insisted on going out to build a snowman. Bei Yan was pulled out of bed by the two adorable children to go out and build a snowman and have a snowball fight.

Su Xiaoxiao woke up in Pei Yuan's arms, her eyes half-closed as she looked at Pei Yuan, who was still fast asleep in front of her.

This man is very handsome, gentle, and a good cook. Where can you find a man like him?

Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood. Pei Yuan had just returned, so she told him to rest well and didn't wake him up.

After having breakfast, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xiuer took a horse-drawn carriage to the town. The weather was actually quite sunny today.

The sky was clear and cloudless, but the road surface was starting to become a bit slippery and difficult to walk on.

As she was hurrying on her way, she heard the sounds of fighting coming from the roadside ahead. Su Xiaoxiao saw a group of teenage boys beating up a boy.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned, about to make her move.

Su Xiuer grabbed Su Xiaoxiao.

"Cousin, it's better to avoid trouble. We need to get to the city quickly."

Su Xiaoxiao ignored Su Xiuer's obstruction.

This is not a matter of avoiding trouble. Whether in ancient times or now, Su Xiaoxiao will never tolerate such bullies.

If everyone could step in and stop them, even just shout a few times to stop the bullies from committing violence, there wouldn't be so many tragedies of bullying.

She jumped off the carriage by herself, strode up to the boys, and shouted, "Stop it, all of you! What are you doing?"

The boys who were committing the violence all turned around and saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao. They were not afraid at all when they saw that it was a girl.

"Get lost, it's none of your business."

Su Xiaoxiao knew these people looked down on her. "What kind of heroes are you, ganging up on me? If you can beat me, I'll pretend I didn't see anything, and you can continue bullying him."

Su Xiaoxiao looked around at the boys, who were about eleven or twelve years old. Even if they all attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for her.
