Chapter 234 - 234 "Pei Qian, Do You Really Think I Don't Dare to Hurt You?!"
234 “Pei Qian, Do You Really Think I Don’t Dare to Hurt You?!”
Because the situation on Wei Qing’s side had stabilized, Lin Suisui didn’t go over to check every day like when Wei Qing had just been sent to Doctor Luo’s office.
For the past two days, she focused on helping Lu Ze expel the aftereffects of the poison.
Therefore, when Pei Qian came to visit Lu Ze with Wei Qing, who had mostly recovered from the injury on his arm, Lin Suisui was stunned.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea for General Wei to stay with Doctor Luo for such a long time. Coincidentally, my house is empty now. After he comes over to stay, I can have a companion. Secondly, it’s also convenient for you to watch him recuperate. It’s killing two birds with one stone. What do you think, Madam Liu?!”
Pei Qian greeted Lin Suisui and Lu Ze and told them why Wei Qing had come with him.
Lin Suisui didn’t think that there was anything wrong with it. After all, Pei Qian’s house was next door. It was his freedom to let anyone in. What right did she have to interfere?!
As for the wound on Wei Qing’s shoulder…
“General Wei only needs to recuperate from the wound on his shoulder. I’ve already told him what to take note of. As long as he listens to me and does as I say, everything will be fine!”
Lin Suisui was telling the truth. However, as soon as she said this, Wei Qing said aggrievedly, “I’ve been very obedient recently, but my arm still hurts!”
“Your wound hasn’t healed yet, right? Of course it will hurt for a few days.” Lu Ze raised his eyebrows and calmly glanced at the aggrieved Wei Qing. In the end, his gaze landed on Pei Qian. “Even if you arrange for a troupe to stay in your house, what does it have to do with us?! Help yourself!”
“We’re neighbors after all! If I really get a troupe to disturb your recuperation, wouldn’t it be unkind?!” Pei Qian met Lu Ze’s meaningful gaze and pulled Wei Qing over provocatively. Then, he raised his hand and patted Wei Qing’s shoulder before introducing him to Lu Ze. “Do you know who Wei Qing is?!”
“Marquis Pingnan’s youngest son.” Lu Ze looked up and glanced at the obedient and smiling youth standing beside Pei Qian. “It’s just that Marquis Pingnan is stationed in the southern border. If you wanted to join the army, you could have served under your father and brother. Why did you come all the way to the north to suffer?!”
“Brother-in-law, are you saying that because of the cold in the north, we soldiers should escape and instead of defending the territory of the empire?! My father said that defending the land and defending the border is the responsibility of us generals. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the north or the south!
My father wanted me to come to the north to train!
My father said that I was spoiled too much by my mother when I was young. I came to the north to experience suffering and toughen myself!”
Wei Qing no longer had the obedient demeanor when he first came over. He raised his chin slightly and retorted Lu Ze arrogantly. At the same time, he didn’t forget to curry favor with Lin Suisui, who was standing at the side. “Don’t you think so, Goddess?!”
“You guys talk first. I’ll go check on Yuan Niang.” Although Lin Suisui still didn’t understand why they were suddenly at each other’s throats when the atmosphere was so harmonious just now, she had the intuition that if she stayed any longer, something bad would happen!
Staring at Lin Suisui’s back as she quickly left, Pei Qian chuckled and leaned back against the wide round chair in a leisurely manner. “Erlang, it’s been a few days since we last met, but you’ve become pettier! You’re actually being so calculative with a child?!”
“Pei Qian, there’s no need to be in such a hurry to find someone to replace me. With Suisui taking care of me, I won’t die for the time being!” Lu Ze picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
“Of course, but you have to prepare for emergencies!” Pei Qian looked at Lu Ze with a smile as he said bluntly, “I’ve always been fair!
Men can have three wives and four concubines. Why can’t women have one or two considerate and sensible friends by their side to relieve their boredom?!”
“Pei Qian, do you really think I don’t dare to hurt you?!” Lu Ze’s tone was still calm, but Wei Qing, who was standing beside Pei Qian, clearly sensed a killing intent that he had not felt when he entered.
Lu Ze was like a ferocious beast that was bloodthirsty and menacing, threatening to devour people at any time.
“It’s not that you don’t dare to, but you don’t know how to.” In the face of Lu Ze’s anger, Pei Qian still sat there calmly. He met Lu Ze’s gaze and said firmly, “You still have to keep me alive to prove that your previous promises will be fulfilled one by one. If you kill me now, won’t it only prove your guilt?!”
Perhaps because he felt that this topic should end here today, Pei Qian didn’t wait for Lu Ze to flare up. He immediately continued, “I have to set off tomorrow, so I’ll borrow a few family generals from General Wei! Therefore, after I leave, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of General Wei!”
“Why do I have to worry so much?” Lu Ze turned to look at Wei Qing, who had regained his obedient expression. He was also a scheming person, like Pei Qian!
If he agreed to Pei Qian’s instructions now, he would be inviting a wolf into his house!
“Because border patrol was originally your job! You were feeling unwell, so Madam Liu instructed me to be more understanding and let you rest for a few more days!
Therefore, I’m the only one who can do the job for you this time!
“How about it? On account of how understanding I am, it’s not too much for you to help take care of Wei Qing, right?!”
Pei Qian sighed helplessly. When he saw that Lu Ze was still unmoved, his gaze landed in the direction where Lin Suisui had just left in. “If you don’t agree, I can only ask Madam Liu!
No matter what, Madam Liu was the one who saved Wei Qing. As the saying goes, one should help people to the end. With Madam Liu’s compassionate personality, she definitely won’t reject my request!”
Lu Ze took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to punch Pei Qian and kick him out. Then, Lu Ze went straight to the point, “Pei Qian, do you feel uncomfortable if you go a day without torturing people?!”
Pei Qian didn’t hide anything at all. He nodded at Lu Ze readily and replied straightforwardly, “That’s right! To be honest, no matter how glib-tongued you are, no matter how noble your status is, to me, you’re still unworthy of her!”
