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

Chapter 295 The Fox Spirit Su Xiaoxiao
When Liu Dazhuang was mentioned, Liu Xiaozhuang immediately asked, "By the way, where's my brother? Why isn't he at home helping you?"

At this moment, Granny Liu's tears flowed like a burst dam, and she cried out loudly.

"He was imprisoned because of that vixen Su Xiaoxiao. He's been tortured beyond recognition. Whether he can get out alive is another matter!"

"what?"

Liu Xiaozhuang never expected so many changes to happen in his family.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Liu Xiaozhuang has been away from home for almost two years, so some things were bound to happen. But...

The thought of Su Xiaoxiao caused a sharp glint to flash in Liu Xiaozhuang's eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao was unaware of Liu Xiaozhuang's return. It wasn't that the villagers wanted to deliberately hide it, but the village head felt it was a family matter and it was better not to discuss it. Besides, Su Xiaoxiao was about to get married, and it would only cause trouble for them if word got out.
Su Xiaoxiao lives a bit far from the village, so she can't always receive news in a timely manner.

Moreover, at this moment, standing in front of Su Xiaoxiao's house was the person she missed day and night, Pei Yuan, who had returned from fighting the enemy on the front lines.

He was dressed in armor and wore a fiery red cloak, with his warhorse Chestnut standing dashingly beside Pei Yuan.

"Xiaoxiao!"

Su Xiaoxiao had just returned from the fields, her hands still covered in mud, wearing work clothes, and with a scarf and sun hat on her head.

The moment Su Xiaoxiao saw Pei Yuan, she felt a little dizzy. She didn't know if it was because the midday sun was too dazzling, or if General Pei was simply too dazzling, even more dazzling than the midday sun.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, until Pei Yuan came over and hugged her tightly, and then she came to her senses.

"Why did you go?"

"I went to plow the fields. Why did you suddenly come back?"

"When the war is over, I'll come back to marry you!"

As Pei Yuan spoke, he kissed Su Xiaoxiao's cheek. The stubble on his face tickled Su Xiaoxiao. "Okay, stop kissing me, it's too itchy."

Pei Yuan refused and continued to make a fuss. Su Xiaoxiao didn't care and suddenly touched Pei Yuan's cheek, giving him a "smack" on the lips. This kiss stunned Pei Yuan.

It seemed to freeze him in place, staring blankly at Su Xiaoxiao, a fleeting emotion flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, as if a switch had been flipped, he cupped Su Xiaoxiao's face and prepared to kiss her passionately.

Su Xiaoxiao refused outright. She hadn't brushed her teeth or showered for days after returning from the front lines, and her breath stank. Even if you looked like Hiroki Iijima, it wouldn't work; she couldn't get past that psychological hurdle.

Just then, Bei Yan's untimely shout came from behind: "Your Highness, is that really you? You're back!"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly broke free from Pei Yuan's embrace, straightened her clothes, and felt a little embarrassed.

Pei Yuan nodded to Bei Yan as well.

The air pressure was very low, but Bei Yan was overjoyed.

"Your Highness, I miss you so much!"

Bei Yan came over and tried to grab Pei Yuan's arm, as if she were being coquettish.

Pei Yuan quickly moved aside and said to him, "Go and get the horse, you're in the way!"

Indeed, Bei Yan, one of his subordinates, often gets in the way.

"Ok."

Bei Yan pouted as he went to fetch Pei Yuan's warhorse.

Pei Yuan noticed a thin young boy following behind him and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Who is this?"

"This is my younger brother whom I rescued a few days ago. His name is Su Lie. Su Lie, come and greet General Pei."

Su Lie had never seen such a high-ranking official before, and was completely intimidated by Pei Yuan's dashing appearance. He timidly walked over and kowtowed to Pei Yuan, who immediately bowed to Su Lie.

Looking the boy up and down, Bei Yan noticed that although Su Lie was thin, his eyes were very determined, and he was destined for great things. After Su Lie finished bowing, Bei Yan called him into the courtyard, where they went to wash up and prepare for lunch.

Besides, it's not a good idea for him to be a third wheel at the door. Bei Yan isn't stupid; he can sense that Pei Yuan is already a little dissatisfied with him.

Bei Yan quickly pulled Su Lie away and left. After they left, Su Xiaoxiao hadn't even reacted when Pei Yuan pulled her into his arms again and hugged her tightly, refusing to let go for a long time.

This time, Su Xiaoxiao could feel Pei Yuan's deep love for her, a love so intense it was almost suffocating her.

"you……"

"What are you trying to do in broad daylight?"

This is in front of Su Xiaoxiao's house. Although she lives in a remote place, it's still easy for some villagers passing by to see her, right? Even if they're not villagers passing by, there are people at Su Xiaoxiao's house. It wouldn't be good if Liu Qiaomei came out of her house and saw her, would it?

"I miss you, Xiaoxiao, I miss you so much."

Su Xiaoxiao tried to break free, "Stop fooling around."

Pei Yuan's embrace only tightened, the armor on his body digging painfully into Su Xiaoxiao's skin.

"Let go! I can't breathe!"

Su Xiaoxiao's face turned as red as an apple, and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Hurry up and go inside to take off your armor. Isn't it uncomfortable wearing it?"

Pei Yuan agreed, smiling as he walked into the courtyard with Su Xiaoxiao.

"I want to eat your braised noodles, will you make them for me?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

"But you can't just eat and not work. We're going to plow the fields together this afternoon, so you should come along!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan angrily said, "You're becoming more and more like a landlady."

Su Xiaoxiao said dismissively, "Yes, I am a landlady. And I don't support idlers. If you want to eat, you have to help with chores."

Su Xiaoxiao started cooking, and after a bowl of incredibly delicious noodles with minced meat sauce was served, Pei Yuan really wanted to eat it. He was fighting on the front lines and dreamed about this dish.

Su Xiaoxiao's noodles were incredibly chewy and perfectly uniform; their length and width looked as if they had been cut in a noodle machine.

Pei Yuan always manages to eat his fill, and his table manners are anything but elegant.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly when she saw Pei Yuan slurping noodles.

"Isn't this a bit too much? You're overdoing it."

Pei Yuan ignored it and began to wolf down his food. He chewed the noodles in his mouth with gusto, his cheeks bulging, as if the bowl of noodles was the only thing on his mind.

The others who were eating nearby, including Su Lie who had just been somewhat impressed by Pei Yuan, were all stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Pei Yuan, "Is the taste alright?"

"Is there any vinegar?"

Pei Yuan asked Su Xiaoxiao for vinegar, "It would be even more perfect if you added some vinegar."

In this respect, Su Xiaoxiao felt that Pei Yuan and she had similar tastes.

Su Xiaoxiao went to get vinegar for Pei Yuan and came back; Pei Yuan had already had his second bowl.

Su Xiaoxiao genuinely liked this way of eating.

It wasn't pretentious at all, and it showed that her noodles were very popular.

How could Su Xiaoxiao not be happy?
