I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

When Pei Xiang and Feng Yiwei arrived at Wanmei Villa, they found that the surroundings of the villa were peaceful, the patrolling guards were orderly and calm, and there was no chaos as Feng Yiwei imagined.

At this time, Feng Yiwei had already removed the disguise she had put on along the way, and had returned to her original true appearance.

When she got off the carriage, seeing the surprised expression of the gate guard, she clenched her fists slightly nervously.

"Where is the landlord?"

"Ma'am?" The guard was stunned for a moment, then cupped his fists in surprise, and said hastily, "Madam, you are back, the owner of the villa is in the villa, and he didn't go out today."

Feng Yiwei took a deep breath, tried her best to keep calm and asked, "I've been away for a few days, how is everything in Wanmei Villa?"

"Business as usual, ma'am."

"Okay, I see," Feng Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief quietly, she turned her head to look at Pei Xiangdao, "Brother Pei, let's go in first, thanks to you on this journey. You have saved my life, please be sure to go in the villa first Stay here for a few more days, let me, my husband and I, fulfill our friendship as a landlord."

Pei Xiang nodded slightly, and followed Feng Yiwei into Wanmei Villa.

Bypassing a rocky rockery, he saw a handsome young man in a blue brocade robe rushing over. His eyes fell directly on Feng Yiwei, with unconcealable joy and longing in his brows.

"Yiwei, you're back!"

Feng Yiwei was also very happy when she saw her husband coming out, she seemed to want to rush over, but she stopped moving just as she opened her legs.

"Husband, how are you doing these days?"

Ximenshen didn't answer Feng Yiwei's question right away, he strode forward, pulled his wife in front of him for a serious look, and after a while, he said:

"Yiwei, everything is fine with me in the village. How about you, why don't you send a letter back in advance? So that I can pick you up."

Seeing the healthy Ximenshen with her own eyes, and hearing him say that she is fine, Feng Yiwei's heart was completely settled, but suddenly, she felt wronged again.

Feng Yiwei quietly broke away from the hands of the two, pretending to be brisk and said:

"Husband, I haven't introduced Brother Pei to you yet. I came back smoothly this time, thanks to Brother Pei who accompanied me all the way and protected me wholeheartedly. Brother Pei, this is my husband, Ximenshen. Husband, this is Brother Pei Xiaofeng, Big brother Pei is highly skilled in martial arts, he is sincere and righteous, and he absolutely lives up to the word chivalrous."

The moment Feng Yiwei let go of his hand, Ximenshen frowned slightly, and then heard his wife enthusiastically introduce a man of unknown origin to him, Ximenshen felt a little defensive.

But on the surface, he smiled politely and greeted Pei Xiang with fists.

Pei Xiang also smiled openly and generously: "Master Ximen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After a few pleasantries, the three of them moved to the main hall where they received guests.

With just a cup of tea, Ximenshen has already learned from Feng Yiwei about her thrilling encounters during these days.Hearing that his wife's life was hanging by a thread twice and all the guards around him died, he was so shocked that his face turned pale and his hands trembled slightly.

That is not timidity and cowardice, but the fear and trepidation from the bottom of my heart.

"Shaying Pavilion..." Ximen crushed the teacup deeply.

He got up abruptly, and bowed deeply to Pei Xiang, his eyes no longer guarded.

Pei Xiang hurriedly returned the gift.

Ximenshen didn't say anything high-sounding, but directly promised that wherever Pei Xiang could use Wanmei Villa in the future, even if he opened his mouth, he would never shirk.

Pei Xiang accepted this sincere promise.

"Husband, have you not received the letter?"

"Yiwei, when you left with someone, I specifically told the guards who left with you to report your itinerary every three days. However, since you planned to go to Feixian Island by boat, I never I received your letter. I thought, I thought you found out that the guards secretly wrote letters to report, and didn't let them write to me..."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows, counting the time silently in his heart, from the time Feng Yiwei boarded the boat to Feixian Island until she returned home safely, it was not just a few days.I haven't heard from my wife for such a long time, and I haven't seen the owner of Ximen Manor in a hurry.

Feng Yiwei obviously thought of this too, her smile became much lighter.

Ximenshen didn't notice his wife's emotional changes, his brows were tightly frowned, and his attention was all on why he didn't receive the letter.

"Ma'am, the possibility of the letter being lost in the middle is very small. Someone must have been playing tricks. They intercepted the letter you wrote to me, so they figured out your location, and then let the killers of Shaying Pavilion chase you down. "

Feng Yiwei understands that what Ximenshen is thinking at this time is the key point, which is related to her own wealth and life, but she is still uneasy.

After holding back, Feng Yiwei finally asked, "Husband, what have you been up to at home lately?"

Ximenshen was still thinking about which link was most prone to omissions, and when he heard Feng Yiwei's question, he said absent-mindedly:

"Cousin Ning'er recently found a notebook written by the imperial physician of the former dynasty. There are a few residual prescriptions in it that are very interesting. I am trying to recover the complete prescription."

Pei Xiang glanced at Feng Yiwei's forced smile, then at Ximenshen who was unaware, and sighed silently.

She changed the topic with a smile, and asked Ximenshen pretending to be mysterious:

"Master Ximen, don't you want to know what was written in that lost letter?"

Simon looked puzzled.

Pei Xiang motioned him to take Feng Yiwei's pulse and check her body.

After a while, Ximen blushed with excitement. After laughing a few times, he couldn't help hugging his wife in front of the guests.In fact, he had wanted to do this a long time ago, but people kept disturbing the reunion of the couple after a long absence.

The disgusted Pei Xiang touched his nose helplessly.She directly said that she was tired from the journey and wanted to go to rest first.

Afterwards, without waiting for the newlywed couple to personally arrange her residence, they went straight to the servant of the villa and asked him to help lead the way to the guest room.

On the evening of the second day, Ximen and his wife hosted a banquet in honor of Pei Xiang. Pei Xiang noticed Feng Yiwei's calm and soft smile and the excitement in Ximen's deep eyes, and thought that the couple had opened up their minds.

She hadn't planned to intervene too much in the relationship between other people's husband and wife, so she didn't pay any further attention to the observation.

During the dinner, Ximen talked deeply about the lost letter with a serious look on his face.

"A preliminary investigation revealed that the letter was not lost halfway, but that there was a mistake in the villa. The letter should have been intercepted after it was sent to Wanmei Villa."

"So, among the servants in the village, has anyone seen the letter sent from Feixian Island?"

Ximen shook his head deeply: "No one saw it with their own eyes."

Pei Xiang was surprised: "In that case, how did the owner confirm it?"

Ximenshen poured Pei Xiang a glass of wine, and then said slowly:

"It just so happens that the guard who was ordered by me to 'secretly' report his wife's whereabouts had an affair with a servant girl in the village, and that servant girl had already told someone else's family, so the relationship between the two was very secret. The guard had been outside for a long time, so he couldn't hold back Acacia and sent a letter to his lover. That letter...was sent back together with the report letter from Feixian Island. Of course, the recipient was not the maid, but another Guard."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows in doubt, Feng Yiwei explained gently:

"He has a good relationship with the guard who received the letter. Before leaving, he asked the guard to ask him to secretly hand over the letter to the maid if he found a red mark on the cover of the letter he sent back.

"When the guard received the letter, the boy who delivered the letter muttered, saying that letters to friends are thicker than letters to the owner, and they all use the official accounts and urgent channels. The housekeeper knew about the fine."

Pei Xiang understood instantly: "The boy's words show that the two letters from Feixian Island have already been sent to the mansion, and there is no possibility of them being lost along the way."

Ximen nodded deeply, and added: "That boy is in charge of sending and receiving letters from the villa. After he muttered that sentence, the guard immediately gave him a small amount of money and asked him to keep his mouth shut."

"The owner of Ximen just said that no one in the village has seen the letter from Feixian Island with his own eyes. Does that mean that something happened to that servant?"

Simon sighed deeply: "Yes, shortly after he handed over the letter to the guard, he was found dead in the room. It is said that he died of convulsions due to a sudden illness."

Feng Yiwei poured Ximenshen a glass of wine, turned to Pei Xiang and said:

"After the man died unexpectedly, the letters in the house were taken away by several other servants. They all said that there was no letter from Feixian Island among the letters that day."

Pei Xiang raised another question: "It stands to reason that when a letter arrives, the owner's letter should be delivered as soon as possible, and then it is the turn of other people in the village to exchange private letters. Why did the servant deliver the letter to the guard first?" Go? Just to blackmail some favors?"

Ximen smiled embarrassingly, took a sip of wine before saying:

"I was busy verifying an ancient formula in those few days, and I didn't allow them to disturb my thoughts with trivial matters. All miscellaneous affairs and human relations were dealt with after dinner, so..."

Pei Xiang pretended not to notice the dimness in Feng Yiwei's eyes, and was a little confused about Ximenshen.

If it is said that this man does not like his wife, judging from his various performances, it is absolutely a lie.But in terms of deep love and care, she felt that the owner of Ximen Village was not as good as the plastic affection shown by Yu Luocha.

His wife ran away from home, and he didn't chase after her or try to persuade her. He just asked people to deliver the safety letter on time.Later, even the letter of safety disappeared, so he was not in a hurry, and was still obsessed with the study of ancient medical prescriptions.

Pei Xiang even had some doubts. If the original letter had not been intercepted but had been sent to Ximenshen, would he really put aside the research he was interested in and go to Feixian Island to pick up his pregnant wife?

After a meal, it is barely a happy time for the host and guest.

Early the next morning, Pei Xiang wandered around the town near Wanmei Villa.

She found that because of Ximenshen's obsession with medical skills, there are many medical centers and pharmacies in the town, and the doctors in the medical centers are also very good in medical skills and ethics.

Moreover, the residents of the town have always been sheltered by Wanmei Villa, and their lives are peaceful and peaceful, the folk customs are relatively simple, and major disputes and appalling evil deeds rarely occur.

Pei Xiang inquired about the housing prices and food prices in the town again, and was a little moved.

She thought of the little life in her belly and the danger of a woman giving birth, the fragility of newborns and postpartum care, and the possibility of being found by Jade Raksha while staying near Wanmei Villa.

After weighing it over and over again, Pei Xiang is more inclined to settle in a place with abundant medical resources for a year or so.

After she has passed this period of relative weakness, she will re-study the issue of where to settle down.

After thinking about it for a while, she assumed the status of a married man for herself, found a more desirable house for herself, and rented it temporarily.

"Brother Xu, I'll pick up my daughter-in-law in a while. She's pregnant with a baby and she's not feeling well. I'll come over to have a look at the house first, and then I'll hire someone to clean it up."

"Brother Pei, you want to hire someone to clean the house, how about I introduce you to some nimble aunts?"

"I was just going to talk to Brother Xu about this. I don't want to bother the two masters. I just heard that Brother Xu is kind in business, so I bothered Brother Xu to help my brother look at the house and go through the formalities. The matter of hiring people is also troublesome to Brother Xu. "

Xu Er has a simple and honest face, but is shrewd inside. He has long found out that Brother Pei, who is renting the house, is a guest of Wanmei Villa.And after getting along for half a day, he also found that this Brother Pei should be a Jianghu who knows martial arts, so he wouldn't neglect to fool him.

So, without Pei Xiang worrying about it, Xu Er took care of everything properly.

Pei Xiang directly gave Xu Er an ingot of silver as a reward, which was much more than what was agreed before, and Xu Er smiled happily.

"Brother Xu, please help me pay attention to experienced midwives and skilled cooks, by the way, plus a few hardworking and honest little girls. When my wife comes over, let her choose by herself."

"Brother Pei, don't you choose two handsome ones first?"

Pei Xiang waved his hand with a wry smile: "Don't dare, dare not! Brother Xu, I guess you can see that I am a member of the Jianghu. To be honest, my daughter-in-law is not weak. The tigress is a sworn sister. Hey, if I dare to put my mind to it, the sword in her hand will not recognize anyone."

Xu Er looked surprised: "Oh, Mrs. Pei is a heroine? Disrespect and disrespect!"

Pei Xiang's face became even more bitter, and he raised his eyebrows: "Yes, she is still a heroine who hates evil and has a very violent temper."

Xu Er thought to himself, if you know how powerful you are, you still marry and go home, this is a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer, who is to blame?

But he kept saying that he would definitely help Brother Pei keep an eye out for suitable candidates, and as soon as Mrs. Pei arrived in town, he would bring someone here for Mrs. Pei to choose.

Pei Xiang cupped his fists to express his thanks, and the two of them agreed on some details before leaving.

After Pei Xiang returned to Wanmei Villa, she found that the atmosphere in the villa was a bit oppressive and dignified. She frowned and didn't go to inquire about the private affairs of the master's family.

But she didn't ask, but Feng Yiwei sent a trustworthy person to come to her and tell her what happened in the village.

"Daxia Pei, my wife said that this matter was originally a scandal. It should not have been publicized everywhere. It would make people laugh. But you escorted your wife all the way back to Wanmei Villa. You are kind and righteous to our wife, but you also suffered The pursuit of the Shaying Pavilion is due to emotion and reason, and I should tell you the truth of this matter."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows: "The identity of the murderer was found out so quickly?"

"Yes, the scandalous things she did were not thorough in the first place. If Madam had an accident this time and did not return to the village safely, we would not be able to track her down, or even know what happened. But thank God, it was all thanks to Mr. Pei. Help, let our wife return safely. Now, the vicious person behind the scenes can't hide."

"Who is that person and what is his identity?"

"Hey, family ugliness, let's not hide the truth from Hero Pei, the person who offered the reward list to Your Excellency Shaying is the cousin of the owner of Ximen. She came to visit suddenly a few days ago and said that she found a notebook written by the former royal doctor. I don't know the value. , I hope the owner of the villa can help to confirm it. After that, she stayed in Wanmei Villa. Unexpectedly, the assassination this time was checked and checked, but it was found on the young lady Biao."

"That Miss Biao bribed the people in Wanmei Villa to intercept that letter?"

"Exactly, I didn't expect her to be so vicious at such a young age! Daxia Pei, everything was planned by her. First, she used a medical book to divert our owner's attention, and then asked someone to assassinate Madam outside. Oh, how vicious Heart, our wife is still pregnant, she is not afraid of retribution!"

"She has a grudge against Wanmei Villa?"

The visitor rolled his eyes. Obviously, this person is Feng Yiwei's confidant, so he did not hide it for Ximen's cousin:

"Hero Pei, that Miss Cousin has no enmity with Wanmei Villa, but she resents our lady for taking the position of Mrs. Ximen, and has been wishful thinking."

Pei Xiang thought, this is probably the house fight in the world of martial arts.

"Now that the truth has been found out, how will Master Ximen plan to deal with this matter?"

Mentioning this, the visitor beamed and said, "Our owner was furious. He directly said that Miss Biao would pay for her life, but our wife stopped me."

"Madam Feng is going to let that Miss Cousin go?"

"Hey, our wife is also difficult to deal with. Although the lady cousin is hateful, she is the daughter of the owner's aunt, and she is the only daughter. To be honest, that aunt is very kind to the owner and wife of Ximen, and she is pitiful, so , Our wife couldn't bear it. She worried that Miss Biao's life would be killed here, and the elders over there would follow."

Pei Xiang did not comment on this.

The man saw that Pei Xiang was silent, so he didn't stay any longer, but said his goodbyes and left after finishing what Feng Yiwei had told him.

Pei Xiang turned around and started busy with her own affairs. She stroked the iron sword she bought casually by the roadside, and began to think about the previous battle experience in her mind.

She used the clear memory in the memory pavilion to slowly perform each move, forgetting the passage of time for a moment.

After she was disturbed by a burst of fatigue and dizziness, she suddenly realized that the night was already dark.

She gently touched the delicate little guy in her belly, and after a quick wash, she went to bed and rested.

Early the next morning, when Pei Xiang was eating the third bowl of rice with a good appetite, the woman who came to pass the message last night hurried over and told her an unexpected news.

It turned out that the cousin was actually the killer of Shaying Pavilion in disguise. Seeing that Ximenshen was determined to kill her, the man took the opportunity of begging Feng Yiwei for mercy and stabbed Feng Yiwei with the poisonous hairpin on his head, wanting to kill her. perish together.

Fortunately, Ximenshen reacted quickly enough to kick the fake killer away, so the tragedy of killing two people did not happen.

"Is Mrs. Feng all right?"

"Hey, it's just that kindness didn't pay off. Madam was still scratched and poisoned. But it doesn't matter. The owner said that he can detoxify and won't affect the fetus. Madam's body needs to be recuperated for a few months. It won't be a problem."

"People safe is good."

"That's not it, Buddha bless, after this time, I will definitely come back from Jitai."

Pei Xiang put down the bowl and chopsticks, lowered her eyes slightly, she felt that things in Wanmei Villa were getting complicated.
