Chapter 115: Confession

“There’s nothing wrong, but I don’t want to interfere again.”

Pei Qian hesitated for a moment, but didn’t hide it in the end. Instead, he simply told Lin Suisui the reason. “If I make such an arrangement again, I’m afraid Miss Zhu will overthink things. At that time, it will be troublesome for me to end things!”

“…”

This time, not only Lin Suisui, but even Lu Ze, who was standing beside her, looked at Pei Qian strangely.

Could it be that he had really been pestered by Miss Zhu previously?!

However, Pei Qian definitely wouldn’t explain this sort of thing in detail. He saw the unfriendly gazes of the couple in front of him and had no intention of staying any longer. He found an excuse to leave. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Lin Suisui and Lu Ze’s sight.

“I think we have to be careful about this.”

After Pei Qian walked away, Lin Suisui pulled Lu Ze to the side and only stopped when they reached an open space. She lowered her voice as she spoke to Lu Ze seriously.

“Although his arrangement is not a bad idea, we can use this opportunity to leave the refugee camp and avoid the upcoming unrest!

“If we leave the refugee camp, we can only rely on ourselves for the rest of the journey! If those northern barbarians become suspicious, won’t we become the first target of those northern barbarians?!”

When he saw how serious Lin Suisui was, the smile on Lu Ze’s face became more and more obvious. In the end, the little girl stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if she was wondering what he was smiling about. He stopped smiling and reached out to hug Lin Suisui tightly. He patted her back, which had suddenly stiffened because of his actions, and comforted her gently, “I know, so we have to think of a long-term solution!”

… .

No matter what Pei Qian had in plan, Lin Suisui would still go over every day to check on the woman.

Mothers were tough. She was probably uneasy about leaving her daughter alone in the world, so she endured the pain for three days. Her wound was starting to recover, and although she still couldn’t eat normally, she could already drink soup.

What made Lin Suisui even happier was that she could now successfully excrete. This relieved her.

“It’s all because of your medical skills.” Although the woman was currently still very weak, she could already lie up and talk to Lin Suisui for a while.

“If not for your help, An’er and I would have died already.”

The woman wasn’t stupid. She had been awake for two days. Although she hadn’t been able to communicate with anyone from the outside world, she knew who had visited her.

Madam Liu would come at least twice a day to take her pulse and check her injuries. Even Mr. Pei, who came from the high and mighty capital, had sent someone to check on her condition, but…

But the general hadn’t visited even once.

She was already disappointed in him!

However, because of the child in her stomach, she had no choice but to stay by his side. Her goal was to protect the fetus in her stomach so that the child could be born safely.

She had naively thought that no matter what, this would be the general’s first child, so whether it was a boy or a girl, the child would be doted on by him!

But…

However, the truth still gave her despair!

Because An’er was a girl, her father had never come to see her after she was born! Even the wet nurse who came to feed An’er now was found by Mr. Pei.

What else could she expect from him?!

“Moreover, it was also because of what you said to me previously that I’ve been able to hold on until now! You’re right, I’m the only one An’er can depend on now!

“If I die at this time, who will protect her?!” As the woman spoke, with difficulty, she turned her head to look at the little baby who was sleeping soundly on the inside of her bed. She revealed an extremely gentle smile. “She’s so cute and obedient. How can I bear to let her die before she has a chance to see this world?!”

“Actually, part of what I said that day was deliberately exaggerated. I hoped to use it to arouse your desire to live.” Lin Suisui glanced at the woman and said calmly, “Actually, General Gao also cares a lot about An’er. Perhaps he just doesn’t know how to express it!

After all, even a vicious tiger wouldn’t hurt its cubs. He’s An’er’s father after all! An’er is his only child now.”

“How can he compare to An’er?!

If she could choose, I think An’er would definitely be unwilling to let him be her father!”

The woman snorted in disdain. Because her emotions were fluctuating too much, her face was pale, but her eyes were burning with passion and vigor!

“I saw Mr. Pei when I came over just now. From what he said, we’ll definitely have to leave the camp and set off in the next few days! Your wound hasn’t fully recovered yet. In your current situation, you’re definitely not ready for a long journey!

Mr. Pei planned to get someone to send you to the Emerald Cloud Nunnery not far from here to recuperate temporarily. However, you also know that if that’s the case, you and An’er probably won’t be able to see the general for a long time. It’s even possible that because of this arrangement, it will be very difficult for you to return to the general’s residence in the future.

He asked me to find an opportunity to ask for your opinion. Originally, I planned to tell you after you get better, but since I’m here already, I came to ask for your opinion on this arrangement.”

Seeing the woman’s attitude, Lin Suisui hesitated for a moment before changing her previous arrangements and choosing to tell the woman about this now.

“Are you serious?!” Lin Suisui didn’t expect the woman’s reaction. She looked even more excited. “I mean, I can bring An’er to live in Emerald Cloud Nunnery and might not even have to return to the general’s residence in the future?!”

“I’m just telling you the worst-case scenario.” Lin Suisui didn’t answer the woman directly. Instead, she changed her approach and let her think about it for herself.
