"Wait until you are done with him." Mrs. Pei then said calmly.
When Pei Yu heard these words, her whole face turned slightly pale. She pressed her clenched fingers tightly, and dug her fingertips into the gaps with a little force. After a while, she said, "Mother , Yu'er can't stop it."
"Then it has to be cut off."
"Mother, I will not break up with him." Pei Yu's eyes were red, but he looked at his mother very firmly, without any hesitation in his eyes.
Even though she knew it would make her mother uncomfortable, she didn't want to compromise with her mother on this matter.
Seeing Pei Yu's insistence, Mrs. Pei was silent for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "It's okay if you don't break up with him. Mother will go visit King Cheng tomorrow."
Pei Yu became a little anxious when she heard this, "Mom, what are you doing with King Cheng..."
"Mom, I have to ask him what he means. Is it something a prince can do to abduct my daughter, the Pei family, by relying on his power and status?"
"Mother! I told you that the prince and I are in love. Why don't you believe me? Do I have to find someone who is similar to me to get married, so that my mother thinks I will be happy?" Pei Yu listened more and more. The angrier she gets, the more she doesn't understand why it's her fault that she's young. She just really likes Gu Chengxuan. It doesn't matter her age, she just likes him. Isn't this okay
"Except Gu Chengxuan." Mrs. Pei stood up, took a deep breath, and continued, "Mother knows that you are rebellious now, and I don't blame you. You can talk to mother again when you calm down."
"Mother, I'm very calm now, but you don't believe in Yu'er! Why... you just don't believe in Yu'er?" Pei Yu's eyes turned redder, she bit her lips tightly, and her voice almost sounded like tears due to grievance.
But Mrs. Pei just paused and said softly, "You will understand in the future that my mother is doing everything for your own good."
After Mrs. Pei finished speaking, she walked out. Pei Yu stood up in a daze and said to the person who locked the door outside the courtyard, "Mom... you said you did it for my own good, but is that really what Yu'er wants?"
Perhaps her voice was too soft when she spoke, and no one answered her.
After almost a day of mourning, Pei Yu walked out of the room with hope and tried to open the courtyard door, but as expected, the courtyard door was locked and she couldn't push it open.
Her mother locked her in the yard.
I'm afraid my mother is... really determined to separate her from Gu Chengxuan this time.
But Pei Yu was far more stubborn than Mrs. Pei thought. She knew that her mother would not allow her to be with Gu Chengxuan, but similarly, she would not allow her mother to break up with Gu Chengxuan.
As long as Gu Chengxuan didn't give up on her, as long as Gu Chengxuan still wanted to be with her, she would not break up with him.
Even her mother can't shake her.
But the result of her stubbornness was that within two days, even Mr. Pei couldn't hide it anymore.
Thinking about it, Pei Yu was fine and suddenly locked up by Mrs. Pei. Except for eating and drinking, Pei Yu was not allowed to step out. When Mr. Pei saw this situation, he knew something was wrong.
Mrs. Pei didn't want to make him worry, but she also knew that it was impossible to stop Pei Yu from thinking about it in a short time, so she didn't bother to hide it from him and told him everything.
After hearing this, Mr. Pei was extremely angry. He said he would go to Gu Chengxuan to settle the score. How could he bear the thought of his daughter being bullied like this!
"Don't go. If you go find him now, how will Yu'er get married in the future? We can only tolerate this." Mrs. Pei grabbed him and said.
"How can I bear it? I used to be a marquis after all! Does Gu Chengxuan take our Pei family seriously when he humiliates Yu'er like this? Why should I bear it!"
"You have to endure it if you can't. As long as Yu'er can break up with him, all of this can be tolerated. Nothing is more important than Yu'er's future."
Mrs. Pei held his hand and comforted him with her eyes, letting him calm down slowly.
However, Mr. Pei calmed down, and he no longer wanted to go to Cheng Mansion to settle the accounts with someone as aggressively as he did at the beginning. He slowly frowned, turned around and walked towards Pei Yu's yard.
He didn't believe that his daughter was drunk by that man Gu Chengxuan...
—
In the past few days, apart from attending classes in the academy, Lin Banxia spent the extra time preparing for He Ruojin's birthday.
She was really determined and wanted to do this well. For this reason, she went back to He Mansion twice during the period and personally asked Mrs. He what she liked.
Every day after school, Lin Banxia went to the market to buy things. But she bought too many things and she couldn't take them back by herself, so she had to call a carriage and take them back.
When she returned to the General's Mansion, she had no time to worry about reading. She was decorating the General's Mansion every day. Every part of the General's Mansion was decorated beautifully. The people in the mansion were also happy. When General He came back, You will definitely be very touched when you see the mansion being decorated so beautifully...
Lin Banxia was tying flower ribbons on the old trees in the yard. When he heard these words, his face was still calm, with no expression, neither expectation nor thought.
She just went step by step and tried to do her part to give her husband a birthday.
She didn't expect him to be moved or anything, she just thought it would be nice if he came back that day, so at least her thoughts these days wouldn't be wasted.
The day before He Ruochen's birthday, Lin Banxia asked the housekeeper to help him go to the military camp and tell He Ruochen that he would come back tomorrow.
After all, this was what he had promised her before, and she thought He Ruoxin would not refuse.
Not long after, the housekeeper came back happily and said that He Ruoxin agreed and would return to the general's mansion early tomorrow morning.
So, the next day, before dawn, Lin Banxia got up.
She specifically asked for a day off from the academy in order to celebrate He Ruoxin's birthday.
Not only was the entire General's Mansion decorated by Lin Banxia himself, but even breakfast, Lin Banxia got up early to prepare it.
She personally went to the market to select all the ingredients. She also asked Mrs. He about his favorite dishes, and planned to prepare them early so that he could eat them when he came back.
To this end, Lin Banxia tried her best and did not ask anyone under her to help. She did the whole process by herself.
However, it was an accident. When cooking, the skin of his delicate fingers was burned, and the fingers got blisters. It was very painful, but Lin Banxia was focused on preparing the meal and did not care about the burnt fingers.
After making breakfast, a table of delicious food was quickly served on the dining table in the courtyard. Lin Banxia placed two sets of bowls and chopsticks and sat at the table in a dignified manner, waiting for He Ruojin to come back.
At first, everyone in the general's mansion stood in a row outside the courtyard, paying as much attention to it as their young lady, waiting for General He to come back.
