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

Chapter 319 Is Pei Yuan in trouble?
No matter what, we're family.

Su Xiaoxiao also knew that this was something she had always cared about very much.

Su Bingcheng seemed a bit strange today. Why was he talking about Pei Yuan possibly changing his mind in the future? Did he see something?

Su Xiaoxiao immediately turned to Bei Yan anxiously and asked, "Where is your master? Where did he go?"

Bei Yan was a little flustered, "I, I don't know either..."

Su Xiaoxiao ignored him and went outside.

In front of Su Xiaoxiao's house, she saw a carriage that looked very mysterious.

At this moment, Pei Yuan slowly approached the carriage. A gust of evening breeze blew by, and Su Xiaoxiao saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting inside.

She sat quietly in the sedan chair. After removing the veil from her face, Su Xiaoxiao saw a stunningly beautiful face with a hint of foreign ancestry. It was breathtaking and impossible not to take notice of her.

Even Su Xiaoxiao's heart raced at the sight of that face; it was truly an absolutely stunning face.

However, after Pei Yuan walked up to the sedan chair and they exchanged only a few words, Pei Yuan waved his hand, and the woman suddenly lost her previous nobility and reserve, pretending to try to persuade him to stay. Pei Yuan, however, remained ruthless and left.

Su Xiaoxiao's gossip instincts kicked in, and by the time she tried to go over, the woman in the sedan chair had already left.

"who is she?"

Su Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind, and Pei Yuan quickly turned around, looking quite uneasy.

"do not know."

This answer was clearly just to appease Su Xiaoxiao.

"I don't know her, but the expression on her face doesn't suggest that I don't."

Su Xiaoxiao felt as if she were being tossed about in a sea of ​​vinegar.

I don't know how to describe that feeling.

"You've figured something out?"

Pei Yuan glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "We've only met once, so we don't really know each other."

See? They just said they didn't know each other, but now it's not like they've only met once. The more you dig, the more likely they are to know.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to look at Pei Yuan curiously, noticing that he was avoiding her gaze. "Are you feeling guilty?"

"I'm already feeling guilty about what you're saying!"

Pei Yuan continued to be stubborn.

"What do you want to ask?"

"I want to know what your relationship is."

"It's okay, you're overthinking it."

Pei Yuan turned around and went into his study alone, ignoring Su Xiaoxiao.

"Bei Yan, don't go!"

Bei Yan was about to leave feeling guilty when Su Xiaoxiao caught her red-handed.

"Tell me, do you know that woman from today? What is her relationship with General Pei?"

"Well, I actually know a little about this matter. This woman stayed at an inn on the frontier and was harassed by a group of hooligans on the way. My master rescued her. She wanted to repay him with her body, and she just couldn't forget the general, but the general ignored her. When he returned to the capital, he found out that this woman was actually the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. It really was fate."

"What fate?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback by Bei Yan's words, "You mean the two of them met again?"

Bei Yan realized she had let something slip; Pei Yuan had only said they had met once.

"No, it's about that later thing, that thing..."

Seeing that Bei Yan was starting to stutter, Su Xiaoxiao asked him, "What happened?" "The Minister was celebrating his birthday and invited everyone to drink. General Pei Yuan went to offer his congratulations, but he got drunk, and then this woman took the opportunity to climb into General Pei Yuan's bed..."

"Huh? Such a thing exists?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "The two of them are already so close, why won't Pei Yuan admit that they know each other?"
Anxious, Su Xiaoxiao quickly asked, "And then what happened?"

"There was no 'after that.' General Pei Yuan simply kicked her out of bed and left."

"That's it?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Bei Yan with some suspicion, but this time Bei Yan was no longer guilty.

"Although I haven't seen everything, I know what kind of person General Pei Yuan is. That woman is still very resentful and always finds excuses to come to General Pei, but he refuses to see her again. I didn't expect her to come to my door again at this time today. General Pei Yuan was afraid that you would misunderstand, so he went to explain the reason to her and told her not to come again."

"So that's it..."

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this.

She stared at Bei Yan so intently that she almost made him uncomfortable.

"Tell me quickly, has your master really not touched any other women all these years?"

"Heaven and earth bear witness, it's really not true. I swear, we've all been worried about our master all these years, but he just isn't interested in those women. There are beautiful women like him who offer themselves to him, and there are women introduced to him, but General Pei Yuan has turned them all away. At the time, we even thought that General Pei Yuan had some kind of special fetish, but no one dared to ask."

"Pfft!"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed out loud.

"Do you all think he has homosexual tendencies?"

"That's right. We thought that even if a mighty man like the General had those kinds of thoughts, it wouldn't be a big deal. We could just go and search the world for handsome men for him. But instead, General Pei gave us a good scolding. We almost got caned."

Thinking back to that time, Bei Yan felt extremely wronged. They were all worried about General Pei Yuan, which is why they resorted to such desperate measures.

"General Pei is handsome, but he is very upright. How could he possibly like men?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Your General Pei Yuan is a very straight man, and I can vouch for that."

Qian Musheng was quite beautiful, even possessing a somewhat effeminate air, but Pei Yuan was filled with rage the moment he saw her face.

If Pei Yuan were gay, there would be no straight men in the world.

"Bei Yan, keep a close eye on her for me. If that woman comes over again, call me immediately. I'll go and have a good talk with her."

"Yes, I have remembered it."

Su Xiaoxiao had a premonition that this woman would come looking for her again sooner or later.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to her room and saw Pei Yuan sitting at his desk reading a book.

Why did it take you so long to come in?

Pei Yuan looked unhappy when he saw Su Xiaoxiao and asked her a question.

Su Xiaoxiao went over and took a long robe from the clothes rack next to her and draped it over Pei Yuan.

Although it's the height of summer, it can get a bit chilly at night.

A maid brought over a basin of hot water for Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao to soak their feet. After soaking their feet, Su Xiaoxiao broke into a sweat and felt very refreshed.

"Are you worried that I'll go out and find other women, and that you don't trust me?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Looking at Pei Yuan's serious expression, Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and replied, "Just like you asked me this morning whether I would go out to meet other handsome men, I think neither you nor I would."

Even if that day ever comes, Su Xiaoxiao will not withdraw voluntarily.

If he really changed his mind, so be it. At least he loved me once, and that's enough.
