Reborn Before My Husband Ascends the Throne

Chapter 106



Ye Suijin's mood was complicated.

Children are easy to coax. Pei Ze's side was focused on military affairs, and there was not much internal friction in the past. He Lian Feiyu grew up in a very simple environment these years and was easy to coax.

In just a few words, Ye Suijin got him to tell her all about the background of uncle and nephew.

He Lian Xiang Yun, Pei Lian's fiancé?

Even Ye Suijin, a reborn person, was shocked.

In her previous life, she had never heard of him. No one had ever mentioned that Pei Lian had a fiancé before Zhao Jingwen. It was as if He Lian Xiang Yun had never existed in the previous life.

After thinking about it carefully, there was only one possibility—

This poor fellow probably really died a lonely death in a foreign land.

Then the teenage He Lian Feiyu continued southward, wandering around, and eventually entered the service of someone in Chu, gradually growing into a valiant general.

Thinking this way, all the inconsistencies about the bearded He Yu in the previous life seemed to make sense.

But in this life, they met Ye Suijin, and He Lian Xiang Yun did not die.

Ye Suijin's mood was extremely complicated.

Because, yes, she really loved Pei Ze very much.

In terms of marching and siege warfare, she admitted that Pei Ze was a first-rate figure.

But Pei Ze's taste in son-in-law was really terrible!

He Lian Xiang Yun was the son-in-law he had looked upon, which resulted in Ye Suijin's current impression of He Lian Xiang Yun becoming... very complicated.

Trying her best to dispel this prejudice from her mind, she asked, "Your martial arts and military skills, did you learn them from the Pei family, or...?"

"The Pei family does not raise useless people." He Lian Feiyu puffed out his chest, "It was all taught by my uncle. My uncle was taught by my father. My grandfather died early."

Ye Suijin deliberately said, "Your uncle must be a very considerate man, so Master Pei entrusted his beloved daughter to him?"

He Lian Feiyu scratched his head. He really couldn't say yes from his heart, so he told the truth, "That's not the case. The main reason why Master Pei looked upon my uncle was because my uncle could fight."

He said, "Uncle Yan, Uncle Sun, Uncle Deng and the others, Master Pei's adopted sons, were led by my uncle."

Afraid that Ye Suijin wouldn't understand, he deliberately explained, "In our army, we don't distinguish by age. The one with the toughest fist and the greatest military exploit has the say."

Ye Suijin's eyes lit up.

Although she looked down on Pei Ze's taste in son-in-law, she really believed in Pei Ze's ability to lead generals.

Being able to become an adopted son already proved He Lian Xiang Yun's ability. Being able to become the leader of the adopted sons, and then being selected as the son-in-law, it can be seen that this He Lian Xiang Yun, who was unknown in the previous life, would not be worse than Yan Lingzhi, only better than Yan Lingzhi.

What level was Yan Lingzhi?

On Ye Suijin's side, only Sanlang could hold his own against him now.

Duan Jin was still young and his rank was still low. Although he was appreciated by everyone, Ye Suijin hadn't let him lead troops independently yet.

He Lian Xiang Yun looked like a soft-legged shrimp, so weak that he couldn't walk. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly.

She had only looked favorably on the younger one, thinking the older one was just a figurehead. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly.

What a profitable deal this was.

After lying down for a while, He Lian Xiang Yun did not wait for He Lian Feiyu to come back, but felt that his strength had recovered somewhat.

He called for a servant to bring a towel and wiped away the cold sweat on his body.

Just as he had put on his clothes, he heard that Ye Suijin had arrived. He tidied up his collar and said, "Please invite her in quickly."

Ye Suijin came in and saw that he was trying to get up leaning against the head of the bed. She quickly walked over, "Master He Lian, don't move, your health comes first."

He Lian Xiang Yun was also helpless.

No one wanted to meet dignitaries in such a weak state, but there was no other way since this happened. If it wasn't for Ye Suijin, he might have perished by now.

Having lived two lifetimes, Ye Suijin understood that in fact, many things in the world that go around in circles meaninglessly are often pointless.

Maybe straightforwardness is better.

So she went straight to the point, "Feiyu is inquiring about Zhao Jingwen in the mansion."

He Lian Xiang Yun looked up.

Sure enough.

Ye Suijin said, "Zhao Jingwen has married the eldest daughter of the Pei family. He is now the son-in-law of Master Pei, and brother-in-law to Young Master Dingxi. He has also joined the ranks of generals by military exploits."

She deliberately mentioned "by military exploits" to show that the Zhao Jingwen from Taiyuan indeed had talent.

He Lian Xiang Yun nodded calmly.

Ye Suijin said, "He is my husband."

He Lian Xiang Yun: "..."

The room was quiet for a moment.

He Lian Xiang Yun slowly looked up.

Did he mishear something just now?

Perhaps his expression was too obvious. Without even having to ask, Ye Suijin repeated it a second time: "He is my husband."

"Before he married the eldest daughter of Master Pei, no, when he married the eldest daughter of Master Pei, he was still my husband." She said, "He married into my family three years ago."

"Someone came back to report that he remarried behind my back. After I found out, I was furious and brought people to kill him in Fangzhou. Unexpectedly, I met Master Pei there."

"Master Pei is a first-rate figure."

"I loved him very much and was willing to form an alliance of mutual assistance with him."

"Since the wife of Master Pei liked this son-in-law of mine, I provided a written annulment and gave Zhao Jingwen to her."

"After that, Master Pei and I jointly dispatched troops to Junzhou. We divided Junzhou in half, each taking one half."

"Ling Zhi, Chonghui, Guangtong and I are all very familiar with each other."

"In the few months we were busy working in Junzhou, you were probably moving around Hedong and the capital. You must not have known about these situations. Now I have caught you up on everything. Feel free to ask if there is anything else you want to know."

This information was also all told to He Lian Feiyu earlier. That boy still hasn't recovered from the shock.

However, He Lian Xiang Yun lowered his eyes.

Seniors are different after all.

Although Ye Suijin's body was young, in her heart, she put Sanlang, Duan Jin and them together with He Lian Feiyu. As for herself, she needed to raise herself up a level.

She was a senior, a family elder.

The head of the family.

He Lian Xiang Yun's first question was, "Is Dingxi okay?"

Ye Suijin stared at him.

He also stared at Ye Suijin.

At this moment, these two people who were not familiar with each other could understand one another.

"Master Pei is indeed a good friend who helps me." Ye Suijin said, "I warned Zhao Jingwen that I want to see Pei Dingxi grow up safely."

"Pei Dingxi's lifespan determines the length of his lifespan." She promised.

Fangzhou was already in the past. But Pei Dingxi and He Lian Xiang Yun had always had a very good relationship. Although they had no fate to become in-laws, they still had the bond of being half-teacher and pupil, as well as the affection built up from having expectations of each other.

It would gradually fade away in the future, of course, but at least for now, He Lian Xiang Yun still cherished this sentiment.

He nodded, and asked the second question, "What status does Zhao Jingwen still have under you?"

"None. I have already given the written annulment to Master Pei. Zhao Jingwen and I are completely severed. From now on he is only the son-in-law of Master Pei, not anyone from the Ye family or anyone from Deng Prefecture and Tang Prefecture."

"Deng Prefecture and Tang Prefecture have no place for him. I have cut off his way back."

She said, "But he is a capable person. He will gradually replace your position over time. Given enough time, even though Master Pei was angry for a time because of his secret marriage, I believe he still has the ability to get Master Pei to accept him."

"Dingxi is too young, there's nothing the elders can do." He Lian said, "It reached that point, there was no other choice."

"You are a first-rate figure." He affirmed.

Ye Suijin nodded happily, "That's right."

He Lian grabbed the bed frame to support himself as he stood up.

Ye Suijin did not move, only watching.

He Lian stood up, breathing heavily.

After regulating his breathing, he knelt down on one knee.

Swearing allegiance did not require such a big ceremony, and the other party was not an elder either.

The purpose of this kneel was gratitude.

"The life-saving grace is beyond repayment." He Lian Xiang Yun said, "If you don't despise us, the uncle and nephew He Lian, we are willing to serve under you."

Ye Suijin felt extremely comfortable in body and mind.

There were many kinds of happiness in life.

Changing one's own destiny and that of others was something no beautiful silken robes could compare to.

Such happiness was comparable to a night of passion.

Even more intoxicating.

Ye Suijin reached out her hand to He Lian Xiang Yun.

He Lian Xiang Yun stared at her hand.

It looked much better than a man's hand.

He reached out and held Ye Suijin's hand, feeling her strength, and understood the first thing she wanted him to understand—don't think about her identity as a woman.

There was no need for those avoidances, useless and redundant considerations.

Just treating her as the person he swore allegiance to was enough.

Ye Suijin pulled him up.

"From now on, we are family." She said, "Tang Prefecture is stable now. I'll bring Feiyu first. Just focus on recovering."

Today the surrounding prefectures and commanderies have all heard that Deng Prefecture and Tang Prefecture have surrendered to Emperor Jin of Jin. They are now part of Jin.

Attacking Deng Prefecture and Tang Prefecture again would be provoking Great Jin.

So now Ye Suijin can rest easy and focus on training troops and building ships.

When Ye Suijin left, He Lian Feiyu came in, both still a bit distracted.

"Uncle, is it true what Lady Ye said, that we'll be following her from now on?" he asked.

He Lian Xiang Yun had lain down again, resting against the headboard. "Yes," he said.

He Lian Feiyu scratched his head in confusion. "Uncle, do you know about the relationship between Lady Ye and Zhao Jingwen?"

Oh heavens, oh fathers, it's more dramatic than a storybook!

It's too shocking, he can't even pull it out. He feels there is so much to analyze here, He Lian Feiyu urgently needs to find someone to pour out his complex emotions and feelings to, and hopes someone can discuss deeply with him the love triangle here.

No, wrong, with his uncle added in, it's a love square now.

He Lian Xiang Yun opened his eyes.

"Underestimated him," he said. "Zhao Jingwen of Taiyuan."

He had thought Zhao Jingwen was just a general under Lady Ye's command in Deng Prefecture. His guess had been that Zhao mediated between the two families and benefited from both.

If he could do that, it would still be fair and aboveboard. You could only say the man was clever and capable.

But now that he turned out to be Ye Suijin's husband, it changed everything.

It was rather worth examining closely.

It seems Ye Suijin also knew what she was doing.

Why else would she warn Zhao Jingwen?

He Lian Feiyu clawed at his heart anxiously. "How could he give up Lady Ye! What was he thinking?"

But He Lian Xiang Yun said, "Who said he gave up Lady Ye?"

He Lian Feiyu: "Huh?"

"He just thought he was very clever," He Lian Xiang Yun said. "I expect he never thought about giving up Lady Ye at all."

He Lian Feiyu: "Huh? But..."

"Just capsized the boat, that's all," He Lian Xiang Yun tugged his mouth. "Because Lady Ye is even more clever than him."

This is what a top-notch character is like!
