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

Chapter 323 First Time Being Jealous

With Su Xiaoxiao's current status, she can immediately be said to have transformed from a pheasant into a golden phoenix.

Su Xiaoxiao agreed to this not to climb the social ladder, but because she felt sorry for the Duchess.

It was already evening when they left the Duchess's house. The two walked together, since they didn't need to take a carriage and it wasn't far, so they could eat their fill.

Pei Yuan was about to come over and take Su Xiaoxiao's hand, but then thought that the visibility was poor at night, and the two of them were getting intimate.

Then a shrill scream came from afar, and it sounded like a woman's voice.

Normally, Su Xiaoxiao would definitely think there must be something fishy going on. Think about it, a woman crying for help in the middle of the night must be some kind of demon trying to trick Pei Yuan, this Tang Monk, into coming to save her.

But is Pei Yuan really Tang Sanzang? Su Xiaoxiao felt she was overthinking it; this Tang Sanzang was even more cunning than Sun Wukong.

"You've got your chance, so hurry up and seize it to save them!"

"I'm not going!"

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuan remained unmoved after hearing the woman's shouts.

"It's so late. I think she's a woman, and if she goes to rescue someone, people will gossip. Besides, a woman out this late at night probably isn't a good person!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought, "What kind of logic is that?" "Okay, then I'll go save them."

A peach-colored horse galloped toward them from afar.

It looked very panicked; it was clearly frightened.

A woman was clinging precariously to the horse's back, about to fall off.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately flew over, jumped onto the horse, hugged the woman's waist from behind, and then gripped the reins tightly.

After calming the frightened horse down, Su Xiaoxiao lifted the woman off the horse.

The woman was still trembling as she squatted on the ground; she looked as pitiful as a frightened little white rabbit.

"I am the daughter of a fishmonger in this area. I was riding my horse to deliver fish to my father when a stray dog ​​startled me by the roadside, and the horse got frightened."

Su Xiaoxiao found the woman to be quite beautiful, with skin as smooth as jade. Her large, dark eyes occasionally glanced at Pei Yuan beside her.

It's not her fault; Pei Yuan is indeed too handsome, with an impeccable appearance. His affectionate eyes seem to be sparkling with electricity whenever he looks at someone.

"Thank you for saving me, young master and young lady."

The fishmonger gave Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan a light bow. Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the woman seemed intent on getting close to Pei Yuan, constantly flirting with him. She was getting angry. Didn't she see that Pei Yuan wasn't even looking at her? And yet, she was still trying to get close to him. Su Xiaoxiao was very unhappy.

But I can understand men now. It's not that they want to be playboys; some men are just not so disciplined and always try to seduce others.

Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "I'm sorry, miss, it was me who saved you just now, it had nothing to do with that young master. He didn't even want me to get involved, so you should just thank me."

"This……"

The fishmonger blushed deeply; indeed, after Su Xiaoxiao's words, she dared not look at Pei Yuan again.

She thanked Su Xiaoxiao and wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao's name.

Su Xiaoxiao said to her, "Just go home safely, it's a small matter, don't worry about it." With that, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Pei Yuan away.

Pei Yuan never looked directly at Su Xiaoxiao, but speaking of this matter, it's hard to say whether it was because Su Xiaoxiao was present at the time.

Regardless, the young, sixteen-year-old fishmonger girl was incredibly alluring to any man in the darkness. If someone couldn't resist, the story would unfold in entirely different ways. Thinking this, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Pei Yuan along as they walked home.

On the way, Su Xiaoxiao asked him, "If I hadn't been there, would you have saved her and then gone over to comfort her?"

"comfort?"

"What do you mean?"

Pei Yuan was completely baffled by Su Xiaoxiao's question.

Why should I comfort her?

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Pei Yuan and said, "You can decide for yourself."

Pei Yuan walked over and ruffled Su Xiaoxiao's hair. "Don't overthink it, okay? Ever since I met you, I can't see anyone else."

"That's better."

Su Xiaoxiao pouted and stopped talking, but it felt like a thorn was stuck in her heart.

In truth, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to force others to be consistent with her; it was impossible for someone to remain faithful for a lifetime.

Sometimes, I might change my mind a little. If Iijima Hiroki gets old, ugly, and fat one day, would I still love him?

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't entirely sure, but right now she was certain that she would, and even if she were to unexpectedly meet Inukai Takeo, her mind would remain unchanged.

You see, Miss Liu from the Minister of Revenue's family has always been obsessed with Pei Yuan, and she's been trying to get into his bed at the slightest opportunity. If I'm not by Pei Yuan's side, wouldn't that be...?

Moreover, although Bei Yan said that Pei Yuan had never been close to women before, it was hard to be sure how much of that was true or false.

The wedding had only lasted a few days when it was Su Xiaoxiao's turn to leave.

She had some business to attend to at her workshop in Baihua Village and needed to go back there. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to bring her second brother back to meet her uncles and aunts.

This was her first time returning to her parents' home since getting married, and Su Xiaoxiao prepared many gifts.

She didn't bring Da Bao and Xiao Bao with her, afraid that when she got home she would run into Liu Xiaozhuang again and bother her.

Without her child around, it would be easier for Su Xiaoxiao to get rid of trouble.

On the way, Su Ping'an took good care of Su Xiaoxiao. They didn't even look for an inn to rest at night, wanting to get back to Baihua Village as soon as possible.

"You go to sleep, I'll keep watch."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled, feeling that her second brother was really good to her.

Their relationship seemed like that of a couple from a past life. The thought of having family by her side made Su Xiaoxiao feel much more at ease.

Before going to sleep, Su Pingan told Su Xiaoxiao a lot about his childhood, mentioning Su Xiaoxiao's older brother.

It turned out that the eldest brother was more than ten years older than them, a great man who had joined the army at a young age and unfortunately sacrificed his life on the battlefield.

This is a wound that Su Ping'an will never forget, and he dares not even mention it.

Finally, he brought it up in front of Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao said sadly, "My elder brother sacrificed his life for the country. He carried the glory of our motherland and is a role model for us to learn from. He is the pride of our Su family forever."
