153 I Only Know That He’s My Husband!
Gao Xuwei took the letter with trembling hands. He only glanced at the contents before he completely wilted and his legs went weak. If not for Qian He, who was behind him, supporting him quickly, he would have fallen to the ground.
“Uncle, I advise you to go back and rest! The current situation is complicated and beyond your control!
Actually, I don’t want to get involved in this mess, but what can I do?! My aunt is your wife. If the Gao family is accused of treason, the Pei family will naturally have to follow suit!
Therefore, even if I’m unwilling, I have no choice but to compromise and help you!
If you’re unwilling to accept my arrangements and since I really don’t want to clean up this mess anymore, why don’t I return everything to you now and let you handle everything yourself?!”
Pei Qian looked at Gao Xuwei, who was already limp from fear.
Yes, after this trip, he should be able to stop for a long time!
“How can this be?! Nephew, we’re family. How can you just abandon us?!” Although Gao Xuwei was already so frightened that his legs went weak, he quickly caught the main point of Pei Qian’s words. With a serious expression, he expressed that he definitely believed in Pei Qian’s character and wouldn’t object or suspect his actions!
As if he was worried that Pei Qian would change his mind midway, he turned around and struggled to escape.
Pei Qian didn’t care. He sneered and continued looking at the map on the table while thinking about how to arrange the defense of the entire camp.
Although Lu Ze had instructed Lin Suisui to rest well before he left, she wasn’t someone who could stay idle.
Firstly, she had to check the injuries of the soldiers who had been injured during the night attack. According to the development of their injuries, she had to readjust her treatment methods.
Of the five soldiers who were seriously injured previously, other than one who was too seriously injured, the remaining four were already stable.
Although she couldn’t let his guard down, at least there was much more hope than before.
Perhaps it was because Lin Suisui didn’t give up on these soldiers’ injuries, but in the eyes of many soldiers, her status was almost higher than Pei Qian’s.
They were mostly in awe of Pei Qian, but they were grateful to her.
“On the battlefield, if we encounter a siege or a sneak attack midway, the soldiers will think of a way to divert attention so that the others can be sent away first. Usually, the doctors accompany the army.”
At some point, Pei Qian came over and stood beside Lin Suisui, who was preparing medicine. He said to her, “Madam Liu, do you know why?!”
“I’ve never thought about these things. However, my mentor has told me more than once that often, after those extremely tragic battles, the corpses that were collected are all piled together.”
Lin Suisui didn’t stop what she was doing. At this moment, she wasn’t in the mood to argue with Pei Qian. There were so many people to save, and she didn’t know if there would be worse battles to fight next, so she had to prepare the cotton cloth and medicine in advance!
“I don’t think this is the time to chat about this. If you’re idle, you should consider what to do next!”
Lin Suisui turned around and looked at Pei Qian, then said before he could say anything, “I need some fine cotton cloth. If there’s still a tough battle ahead, the cotton cloth used to bandage the wound will be indispensable!
If it’s convenient, can you help arrange it?!”
Pei Qian stared at Lin Suisui for a long time before nodding gently. “Don’t worry. I’ve already instructed Qian He to prepare these. They’ll be sent to you in a while.”
However, are you in a bad mood?!”
“If you’re busy with official documents at this moment, and someone comes to your side to disturb you, will you put down your important official business and chat with them over tea first, or will you get someone to drag this insensible person out and skin him alive as a warning?!”
Lin Suisui snorted. Although she didn’t answer directly, the sarcasm in her words was obvious.
Pei Qian wasn’t angry. Instead, he laughed in amusement. “I know that you’re unhappy that Gu Erlang left the camp!
However, I didn’t arrange this. He took the initiative to suggest it!
Madam Liu, even if you’re angry, you can’t blame the innocent!”
“Mr. Pei, you’re the leader of those who escorted us refugees to the north this time. In the face of such a crisis, you should be the one to stand up and try your best to resolve it!
But now, we refugees have to deal with a crisis that we’ve never seen before. Do you think this is appropriate?!
My husband has never been the type to stay out of things. Although he’s taciturn, he used to take care of his neighbors and the old and the weak at home!
I’m not surprised that he made such a decision!
However, I don’t agree with you when you say that you’re innocent!”
Lin Suisui’s face was tense as she rubbed the medicine even harder. It was as if Pei Qian was the one under the stone pestle.
“You’re right, but Madam Liu, are you really so sure that your husband is just an ordinary hunter?!” Pei Qian reached out to help Lin Suisui, who was standing on her tiptoes and reaching out take down the herbs on the shelf, and handed them to her.
Lin Suisui paused, but she didn’t refuse. She simply raised her hand and pointed at the chopping board and knife at the side. “Since you’ve helped already, you might as well help me to the end. Cut these herbs first!”
Pei Qian smiled and didn’t refuse. He happily carried the basket of herbs to the side and began to work.
“What does it matter if he’s an ordinary hunter?! I only know that he’s married to me! If he kills someone, I’ll be his accomplice!”
Lin Suisui didn’t expect Pei Qian to help her so readily. She choked for a moment before thanking him in a low voice, “I know that ever since you stopped us at the city gate that day, you’ve never stopped suspecting us!
However, we’re really just a couple who want to live peacefully! There’s really no need for you to keep harping on us!”
