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

Chapter 282 A sudden confession

Now only Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan were left in the room. Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Pei Yuan's hand and whispered to him, "Sanlang, you will definitely be alright."

Pei Yuan's eyes were tightly closed, and he appeared to be in a deep coma. Although Su Xiaoxiao knew he could no longer hear her, she kept repeating her words in his ear, hoping that Pei Yuan could hear what she wanted to say.

Everyone worked together to lift Pei Yuan onto the carriage, and Su Xiaoxiao entrusted her children to Liu Qiaomei's care.

She, Mr. Li, and Bei Yan headed towards Ci'an Hall in the town.

On the way, Su Xiaoxiao angrily asked Bei Yan.

"What exactly happened? Why didn't you tell me sooner when you came back?"

Bei Yan also felt quite guilty, as it was indeed his carelessness in this matter.

After arriving at Ci'an Hall, Mr. Li prepared the medicine for Pei Yuan and administered it to him. Su Xiaoxiao then rushed over to ask Mr. Li questions.

"How is it? When will the general wake up?"

"He should wake up tomorrow morning. Don't worry, the toxicity of the Seven Star Grass should be gone, but judging from the reason he's in so much pain, it seems there are still other toxins in his body..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's forehead began to sweat.

"Why is there still poison in his body? What's the reason?"

At this point, Su Xiaoxiao was truly confused and quickly called Bei Yan over, "What exactly is wrong with his body? Tell me!"

"This one……"

Bei Yan seemed a little hesitant. While wiping the sweat from Pei Yuan's face, Su Xiaoxiao asked Bei Yan, "Is there something you're hiding? Can't you tell me?"

"I cannot say more about this. You can ask General Pei yourself after he wakes up."

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to ask more questions, but Bei Yan stopped talking. He stood solemnly at the door of Pei Yuan's ward, motionless.

Helpless, Su Xiaoxiao wiped Pei Yuan's sweat and then turned to Bei Yan's side.

"Here's a blanket. You can use it when you're cold at night."

"Thank you, madam."

Bei Yan now addresses Su Xiaoxiao as "Madam" and treats her with great respect.

"General Pei still has some stubborn poison in his body from his previous injury that cannot be cured. He will probably tell you about it when he wakes up."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

But seeing Bei Yan waiting outside the room, Su Xiaoxiao said to him worriedly, "I know, you don't need to stay outside tonight. Go back and rest. I'll watch over him here."

Bei Yan hesitated for a moment, but seeing Su Xiaoxiao's determined eyes, he had no choice but to compromise.

After all, the person closest to General Pei Yuan had now appeared. Bei Yan glanced at the unconscious Pei Yuan one last time before reluctantly walking away.

Su Xiaoxiao was truly heartbroken this time. She went out and brought over the herbal medicine that Mr. Li had helped to prepare. She blew on it and then spoon-fed it into Pei Yuan's mouth.

When Pei Yuan woke up the next day, he found Su Xiaoxiao sleeping with her head on her arm in front of his bed.

Pei Yuan felt sorry for her and quickly put Su Xiaoxiao's arm down. Then he held her head and slowly lowered it onto the bed, wanting Su Xiaoxiao to lie on the bed and sleep.

"You're awake?"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up at Pei Yuan.

"Yeah, last night was hilarious! How did you manage to faint?"

Seeing that Pei Yuan remained silent, Su Xiaoxiao grew anxious. She rushed over and hugged Pei Yuan's head tightly. "Your eyes are darting around. What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Helpless, Pei Yuan turned to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I've seen quite a few doctors before, but they couldn't cure it. This injury might be due to something else."

"what reason?"

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Pei Yuan's hand, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"It's probably residual poison from when I was injured last time, but it's okay, I'm used to it."

"What's wrong with you? If that little beggar hadn't hurt you and forced out the remaining poison in your body, none of this would have happened..."

Pei Yuan stuck a finger into Su Xiaoxiao's mouth, telling her to stop talking.

"The reason I didn't want to say it is because I'm worried that you might not want to marry me, a sickly person, and might leave me..."

Pei Yuan looked aggrieved as he spoke.

"Am I that kind of person? You'll be alright, Sanlang, I'm willing to marry you."

Su Xiaoxiao could no longer contain her emotions and rushed to Pei Yuan's side, hugging him tightly.

"Don't worry, even if I search for the most famous doctors in the world, I will definitely find a way to cure you of this poison."

Su Xiaoxiao said emotionally, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I will stay with you until the end of time, until the very end of my life."

Upon hearing Su Xiaoxiao's heartfelt confession, Pei Yuan finally couldn't help but smile and pull her into his arms.

"It's my fault for not telling you sooner, I made you worry. Today was just an accident, don't worry about me. I'll definitely get better..."

The two embraced.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was absolutely certain that she would be with Pei Yuan for the rest of her life.

That's why she didn't want Pei Yuan to hide anything from her. After Pei Yuan woke up, he only stayed at Mr. Li's clinic for one night before saying he had to go back.

Pei Yuan had quite a few worries. He said he was afraid the two children would cry if they couldn't find their parents during the New Year.

Every family gathers together for the Lunar New Year, so during this time, you must not let your children worry because of yourself.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xiaoxiao prepared a table full of delicious food, but Pei Yuan seemed to have no appetite at all.

Although he had a smile on his face, he had no appetite at all.

The children were overjoyed to see their parents at home. Da Bao brought the best dish on the table, the Crystal Pork Knuckle, to Pei Yuan.

"Daddy, eat the braised pork knuckle, it's so fatty."

Pei Yuan smiled and patted Da Bao's head, praising him, "Da Bao is really sensible. You eat, Daddy ate a bit too much today."

Da Bao and Xiao Bao eagerly fought over the braised pork knuckle. Each bite of the pork knuckle was incredibly crispy and delicious.

Su Xiaoxiao also knew that Pei Yuan probably didn't have much of an appetite at this time. He had just recovered from a serious illness and should eat more vegetables and light food.

Su Xiaoxiao gave all the meat and vegetables on the table to the two children, and then said to Bei Yan, "You should eat more meat too, neither the general nor I like it."

However, Bei Yan was listless at this moment, keeping her head down and not saying a word.
