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

Chapter 303 Su Xiaoxiao Makes a Wedding Dress
Upon seeing this, Pei Yuan immediately came over to help Su Xiaoxiao fend off the drinks.

"No, she'll get so drunk she'll die if she drinks that much."

Seeing Pei Yuan's nervousness, Lin Tianyang began to tease him.

"General Pei, everyone is having a good time today, why spoil the mood? It seems that General Pei cares quite a bit about this young man."

Seeing that she had no choice but to drink this wine today, Su Xiaoxiao picked up the wine jar in a very generous manner and began to drink.

Pei Yuan quickly stopped her, warning her that drinking like that could easily cause problems.

"Can you please switch to smaller cups?"

Lin Tianyang finally relented, "Alright, we'll switch to smaller cups, but Young Master Su must drink with me until we're completely satisfied! We won't leave until we're drunk!"

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to let Lin Tianyang, that idiot, keep pestering her to drink.

The two of them were drinking and chatting, and although Su Xiaoxiao didn't drink much, she quickly got Lin Tianyang drunk.

Pei Yuan couldn't always stay by his side. Sometimes, he would be called aside by other soldiers to drink. There was no way around it. Although there was a difference in status, many soldiers still had the courage to invite Pei Yuan to drink on such occasions.

Of course, it's also to be approachable and to create a sense of kinship between soldiers and generals.

The bonfire party lasted until very late, and Pei Yuan took Su Xiaoxiao back to the General's Mansion.

No one had recognized Su Xiaoxiao's identity before, and Su Xiaoxiao was quite proud of it.

However, upon returning to the General's Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao received bad news: Pei Yuan might be leaving her again for some time.

What should she do? Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. If she was left alone here, wouldn't she have to face Pei Yuan's aunt every day?

"I need to go to the military camp to take care of some things; I won't leave until the afternoon. You can continue sleeping!"

However, Su Xiaoxiao really didn't know how to fall asleep. She waited until Pei Yuan returned from the military camp, dressed properly, and finally sat here upright, waiting for Pei Yuan to come back and say goodbye to her.

Su Xiaoxiao also knew that Pei Yuan was a great general who protected the country. He had the world in his heart, so of course he had to go out and protect the country. He couldn't spend all his time being intimate with her here.

Pei Yuan, dressed in a magnificent suit of armor, approached Su Xiaoxiao and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me for another half month at most. We'll get married after I return."

He then gave the housekeeper a few more instructions: "Have the housekeeper help you pick out a few outfits, and if you think they're suitable, have a few more wedding dresses custom-made."

Su Xiaoxiao hugged Pei Yuan from behind. Listening to Pei Yuan's words of advice, she whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Pei Yuan gave Bei Yan a few more instructions, telling him to keep a close eye on Su Xiaoxiao and the others at home and not let his aunt come over and bully them.

This is actually the most worrying thing, mainly because it's hard to say what might happen if the aunt makes any moves.

Pei Yuan was worried that Su Xiaoxiao and the others would be wronged if he wasn't home.

Su Xiaoxiao gave Pei Yuan a confident smile.

"Don't worry, who am I? I'm Su Xiaoxiao, no one can bully me!"

Su Xiaoxiao said this to Pei Yuan with great confidence, which was actually to reassure Pei Yuan to handle his own affairs.

As Pei Yuan rode his chestnut-yellow horse and gradually disappeared around the street corner, Su Xiaoxiao felt a sense of loss for the first time.

Perhaps it was because she wasn't at home, and had suddenly arrived in the capital, unfamiliar with the place and its people, that Su Xiaoxiao began to feel a strange sense of loneliness.

Until she turned around and saw Bei Yan, whose face also showed that same lingering reluctance, even more so than Su Xiaoxiao's. "Bei Yan, you..."

Su Xiaoxiao finally managed to pull Bei Yan out of her reverie, and she glanced at him sideways.

You seem even sadder than I am!

Bei Yan pretended to wipe away tears and said, "Of course. I feel sorry for our master. He's out in the wind and rain all day long, risking his life. It's all because of that emperor who insists that our master go to war..."

Su Xiaoxiao said to him, "You'd better keep your voice down, or the Emperor will punish you if he finds out!"

Bei Yan shrank back in fright, and only after looking around and finding no suspicious people did she feel relieved.

Bei Yan has always been a bit outspoken, which Su Xiaoxiao believes is a result of Pei Yuan's indulgence.

"By the way, Bei Yan, have you found a private tutor for my two children yet?"

Before Bei Yan could recover from the grief of her master's departure, she suddenly heard these words and thought to herself that Su Xiaoxiao really had a big heart.

He hurriedly came over to report to Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "Reporting to Madam, I have already made preparations. The teacher will be arriving tomorrow; he is a famous teacher in the capital."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded with great satisfaction, "It has to be our Beiyan. He's always so reliable."

Bei Yan nodded, looking a little embarrassed.

"By the way, I'd like to see if the wedding dress the tailor shop prepared for me is to my liking."

Upon hearing this, Bei Yan's face darkened.

"Madam, aren't you in a bit too much of a hurry? Is it because you're so eager to marry the master?" "Yes, I was in a hurry to wake up, wasn't I?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Bei Yan in anger, and then went to the clothing shop with several maids.

Su Xiaoxiao went to a tailor shop and was quite satisfied with the wedding dresses she saw. In the end, she chose a very fashionable dress for herself, with gorgeous colors and patterns. After returning to the General's Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao began to dress up.

She wore a very heavy makeup today, and the finest hairpin that Pei Yuan had prepared for her made her look extremely elegant.

She knew that Pei Yuan's aunt, a woman surnamed Zhao, would definitely come and make things difficult for her after Pei Yuan left.

He wanted to set rules for himself and let Su Xiaoxiao know who the elders were in this family and who had the final say.

In fact, Su Xiaoxiao already knew about the situation. Sure enough, just as she finished her makeup, Madam Zhao invited Su Xiaoxiao over to have afternoon tea together.

Su Xiaoxiao went to Madam Zhao's residence with her two maids, Xia He and Qiu Xiang.

Indeed, she was very generous. Madam Zhao was reclining on her bed, with maids massaging her legs and shoulders.

There was also someone fanning themselves, saying, "You're here, have a meal."

After Su Xiaoxiao entered, she lazily looked up and sized her up, discovering that Su Xiaoxiao was indeed dressed in an extraordinary way.

Speaking of which, Su Xiaoxiao's makeup looks so good today. Su Xiaoxiao, who is already good-looking, is almost stunningly beautiful when she is dressed up.

No wonder Pei Yuan was so devoted to her, Madam Zhao thought to herself.
