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

Chapter 299 Discussing Marriage
"Madam, you are so gentle. I love you."

Pei Yuan's confession made Su Xiaoxiao very shy.

"Stop fooling around. If you're not sleepy, you should think about how to appease your aunt. You upset her as soon as you walked in. Our lives won't be easy from now on."

Su Xiaoxiao was absolutely right when she said that. To say that Su Xiaoxiao didn't care at all about what Aunt Pei Yuan thought would be a lie.

How could that be? The head of this family has a share in half the family, including his concubine. Even though Pei Yuan pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, he was actually feeling bad inside.

Pei Yuan stretched out a hand and began to manipulate Su Xiaoxiao's fingers. They were so slender and fair, like fingers peeled from scallion roots, that it was hard to describe them.

She looked quite beautiful. "Since you're so free, why don't we discuss marriage?"

"marriage?"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Yes, if you don't want to have a big wedding banquet, we can just invite some acquaintances."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "That seems pretty good. At least it won't be so annoying..."

Su Xiaoxiao's words were actually pointed at, referring to Pei Yuan's aunt's opinion.

I always felt that this woman was probably not a good person; I wondered what she might do to stop me or something outrageous.

Su Xiaoxiao's worries were not unfounded. Pei Yuan thought for a moment and quickly comforted Su Xiaoxiao.

"Don't worry, no one will be able to ruin our wedding banquet. I'll take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao laughed, a very happy laugh.

Su Xiaoxiao playfully tapped Pei Yuan on the head, and Pei Yuan quickly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand. Just as the two were about to get intimate in the room, Bei Yan barged in again at an inopportune moment.

"Madam, the flowers in the back garden are in bloom. Shall we go and take a look?"

It turned out that he was planning to come and find Su Xiaoxiao to go see the flowers in the back garden. Although it was a good thing, Bei Yan was still glared at fiercely by Pei Yuan.

The main problem is that he has absolutely no sense of propriety and always appears at such inopportune times.

Although Bei Yan always appeared at such inopportune times, Pei Yuan always kept her by his side and never saw him abandon her.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered to Pei Yuan, "Speaking of which, your subordinate is always causing you some minor trouble, so why don't you take him with you? You always keep him by your side. I think you're just saying one thing but doing another, right?"

When Su Xiaoxiao said this, Pei Yuan sighed helplessly.

“This guy has been by my side since he was a child, I’m used to it. If you’re annoyed by him, I’ll transfer him to the countryside for a few years, and see if he comes back still so talkative.”

Upon hearing this, Bei Yan immediately shouted loudly from the side, "No! Master, I will definitely be obedient from now on. I will appear when I should and disappear immediately when I shouldn't."

"This is it!"

Su Xiaoxiao was getting anxious when she saw Bei Yan; the child's face turned red with worry.

She quickly covered Pei Yuan's mouth, saying, "Stop teasing him."

"Actually, Bei Yan is quite sensible. She's just young and a bit reckless. With proper guidance, she'll definitely become more sensible."

Bei Yan nodded quickly, "Yes, Madam is absolutely right. I will definitely be obedient from now on, please don't send me to the countryside to guard the country!"

His anxious look amused Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan at the same time. It seemed that this child was quite honest, but also a little silly.

Staying by Pei Yuan's side is quite interesting. He's a bit simple-minded, but very loyal to Pei Yuan. Su Xiaoxiao is absolutely certain of that; he's just a little goofy. The rural military camp Pei Yuan mentioned earlier is actually where his elite troops are currently stationed. Pei Yuan's army is stationed there, and Su Xiaoxiao is quite eager to go and see what it's like.

When she suggested that she disguise herself as a man and go to the military camp with Pei Yuan again, Pei Yuan was stunned.

"What do you mean? You're coming to the military camp with me too? That won't do. If I go, I'll only take Bei Yan with me."

Su Xiaoxiao said excitedly, "Yes, if we go to the military camp this time, I want to see what your usual place is like. Please take me with you, okay?"

It was rare for Su Xiaoxiao to act coquettishly in front of Pei Yuan, and she seemed quite adorable.

Her big, bright eyes shone with an adorable light, and Pei Yuan couldn't bear to refuse her.

After thinking it over, I finally agreed.

"Alright, then come with me to take a look."

Su Xiaoxiao was quite skilled at cross-dressing. She changed into a light blue robe, piled her hair up high, and put on a hat. She looked like a very handsome man, leaving Pei Yuan completely stunned.

"Does this look good? This general is almost bewildered by your men's attire. In short, it looks strange."

He did say that, and Su Xiaoxiao wasn't mistaken, but she still felt that Pei Yuan's expression was a little too cute.

Su Xiaoxiao then went over and showed off, walking up to Pei Yuan, standing in front of him, and gazing at him with deep affection.

Next, stand on your tiptoes. The reason for standing on your tiptoes is mainly because you are not tall enough.

She lifted his chin with her hand, lowered her voice, and whispered to him, "So? Am I handsome? Are you starting to like me?"

Pei Yuan's face immediately turned red, and he turned his face away.

"What's going on? It's like you're saying I like men."

Su Xiaoxiao was amused by Pei Yuan's reaction and grabbed his wrist, saying, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

"Yes, remember this: you must stay by my side and not leave my side for even a moment. You can't just wander around the military camp like that."

To ensure Su Xiaoxiao's safety, Pei Yuan specially provided her with a short dagger to carry with her.

Su Xiaoxiao was very grateful for Pei Yuan's thoughtfulness. Thinking that there must be many fun things in the military camp, Su Xiaoxiao was more excited than anyone else.

As they left the general's mansion, Bei Yan had thoughtfully prepared a carriage for them.

After getting into the carriage, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly called out to Bei Yan, "You're coming along too?"

Bei Yan shook her head, looking at Pei Yuan with a guilty conscience.

"No, my master hasn't given the order, so I dare not go to the military camp with you rashly."

Su Xiaoxiao was amused, realizing that Bei Yan was quick to understand and immediately knew he shouldn't have followed along.

"Since Bei Yan isn't going, let's ride horses there. Taking a carriage is too girly."

Su Xiaoxiao now speaks with a touch of masculinity. It seems she has truly embraced the role of a man.
