Song Qingcheng was confused by Pei Huaizhi's words and didn't know why Pei Huaizhi said that.

Song Qingcheng blinked and looked at Pei Huaizhi. "Every time I go back to the capital, I go back to the General's Mansion, and don't you receive a small gift on every birthday?"

Pei Huaizhi glanced at her sideways, and Song Qingcheng remembered this time that indeed on her birthday every year, the doorman at the gate of the General's Mansion would send someone to say that the mysterious man had delivered something again.

Originally, Song Qingcheng didn't take it seriously, as she was still a little girl at that time. But from then on, she received the letters every year.

General Song was worried that the door would be closed on Song Qingcheng's birthday.

However, things still appear at the door.

As time went on and the number of times increased, General Song discovered that the person who secretly sent the birthday gift did not take any other actions, so he registered the gifts that Song Qingcheng received from the mysterious person that day.

If there are any problems at that time, we will send them back together.

Later, when Song Qingcheng grew up, she always believed that these things were sent by Wei Shao, the Prince of Yan, because these gifts were not ordinary things, most of them were from Shangjing, or even outside the territory of Wei.

Wei Shao was at the border of the Wei Dynasty, so Song Qingcheng thought it was him who sent it.

Now, the truth has come out, it turns out it was all a misunderstanding.

It's not Song Qingcheng's fault for thinking wrong, because in her normal understanding, it was in the previous life when Pei Huaizhi, the top scholar, was paraded in the streets on horseback that Song Qingcheng first met him.

Before, she knew nothing about this young master from the Duke's Mansion who was not in the capital.

When Pei Huaizhi saw Song Qingcheng's look of sudden enlightenment, he knew that he must have been wrong again.

It can be seen that there are many misunderstandings between her and him.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Song Qingcheng asked doubtfully.

"At that time, you were not yet of age, which was not good at all!"

Pei Huaizhi replied patiently.

Song Qingcheng blinked her eyes. "Minister Pei was very thoughtful. So when I asked my father to go to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant us a marriage, it was just a matter of course."

"Ok?"

Pei Huaizhi had a faint smile on his infuriating face.

"But, I heard that when Your Majesty summoned you to the palace, the palace lights in the imperial study were on all night, just to persuade you. So, you were unwilling at that time."

This is also the reason why Song Qingcheng always felt inferior after marrying Pei Huaizhi, because she believed that the Emperor of Wei forced her to marry Pei Huaizhi.

Pei Huaizhi had no choice but to agree to the request of receiving salary from the emperor and being loyal to him.

Song Qingcheng now feels that the man who once seemed so arrogant might just be her imagination.

Now that we have come to this, Pei Huaizhi patiently explained, "Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and I just wanted to dispel your doubts. At that time, I had to show my unwillingness in order to make your Majesty trust me more."

"Moreover, at that time, although His Majesty showed favor to the General's Mansion on the surface, he was actually very wary of it."

"At that time, I was just an editor without power in the Hanlin Academy. I wanted to protect what I wanted to protect, and the most important thing was to get the Sacred Heart as quickly as possible..."

"So, you are retreating to advance!"

Song Qingcheng took up Pei Huaizhi's words and continued.

"As long as I show more reluctance, His Majesty will be more relieved, so...":

Pei Huaizhi sighed softly. "Only one person who is strong enough will have the right to speak."

Song Qingcheng understood what Pei Huaizhi meant.

After two lifetimes, Song Qingcheng finally understood a great truth. In Song Qingcheng's mind, Pei Huaizhi has always been a very powerful existence, but in fact, Pei Huaizhi has not been in Shangjing since he was a child.

The Peiguogong Mansion was also a foreign family with a mere name, and was not valued by the Emperor of Wei.

It cannot provide any help to the forces in the court.

Pei Huaizhi had to work hard on all of this on his own.

However, she has always overlooked the fact that Pei Huaizhi was not so powerful at the beginning.

Song Qingcheng has figured it out now. She dared not even think about how Pei Huaizhi could have survived all the bloody storms, swords and arrows all alone to become the youngest Shangshu of the Wei Dynasty.

Pei Haizhi sneered, "The emperor's mind is unpredictable. On the first day of our late marriage, I don't know how many people in Chunhe Hall went to great lengths to find out whether we were really having a bad relationship."

When Song Qingcheng saw Pei Huaizhi's deep eyes flashing with a hint of gloom, she felt as if her heart was stuffed with cotton and she couldn't breathe. She felt a little depressed and bitter. "So, on the wedding night, you went to see Xie Wan Ning for heart disease!"

"Manman, what do you think of my medical skills?"

"Of course it's the best!"

"So, does Xie Wan Ning have a heart disease? Do you think I can't tell?"

Song Qingcheng shook her head.

Now she already knows that she is also a part of Pei Huaizhi, but at that time she felt that Pei Huaizhi was like the bright moon in the sky, untouchable.'

As an insider, Song Qingcheng simply couldn't understand it.

She just felt that she was wishful thinking. To put it bluntly, she neither believed herself nor Pei Huaizhi, but she was foolish enough to believe Xie Wan Ning and even treated Xie Wan Ning as her best friend and Xie, who didn't like her in the first place, as her own mother.

As fate would have it, in the end, there were many misunderstandings. Who knew that Xie was not Pei Huaizhi's biological mother.

"Oh! I'm so stupid."

Song Qingcheng said to herself with some regret.

"If I were still a person without real power, and the licentious and immoral Emperor Wei wanted to reach out his dirty hands to you, I would not be able to protect you properly."

Pei Huaizhi has always been a person who never shows his emotions. When he said this, Song Qingcheng saw his face turn pale, and his slender fingers clenched into fists, even trembling slightly.

As if in fear and terror.

In Song Qingcheng's impression, Pei Huaizhi had never shown such emotions. Even when his life was hanging by a thread several times, he was never afraid of anything.

Song Qingcheng clearly sensed Pei Huaizhi's hatred and knew what Pei Huaizhi meant.

When he was worried that he was not strong enough, the Emperor of Wei reached out his dirty hands to her. Was that what she meant?

"Then the Emperor of Wei wants me to enter the palace?"

Song Qingcheng asked.

Pei Huaizhi did not deny it, which meant that her suspicion was correct.

Song Qingcheng couldn't help feeling nauseous.

It turns out that dog emperor had thought of such an idea.

Pei Huaizhi looked at Song Qingcheng with a disgusted expression, reached out and held Song Qingcheng's hand in his palm.

Song Qingcheng felt very complicated. It turned out that Pei Huaizhi had silently endured so much behind her. Her nose felt slightly sour.

For a moment, I didn't know what expression to use when facing Pei Huaizhi.
