Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 596 - 0556: Li Yuwen Is Left Speechless (1)
Pei Shenyan looked at Li Yuwen bewildered, "Yuwen..." He reached out to touch his arm, why did she pinch him?
"What happened to you? How did you end up with a sprained foot?" Li Yuwen pointed at his foot, her face full of anger.
This foot injury was either Pei Shenyan’s own doing, or intentionally caused by Wei San. She needed to find out.
Pei Shenyan glanced at his foot, and said with a guilty expression, "I was careless myself..."
"Did you do it on purpose?" Li Yuwen raised an eyebrow at him, "Looking for an excuse to stay here?"
Pei Shenyan, "..." He looked at Li Yuwen, his eyes flickering slightly, "Yuwen, are you worried about me?"
Li Yuwen kept a straight face and coldly laughed, "You’re overthinking it."
Yet Pei Shenyan wasn’t upset, he smiled faintly and said, "But you moved in your luggage to stay here and take care of me."
It’s not because of some vixen, as if she wanted to come!
She’s really not used to staying in someone else’s home.
Li Yuwen said calmly, "I just don’t want people gossiping."
Pei Shenyan’s foot was sprained, if she acted indifferent, her parents would surely call her and nag without end.
Although she remained expressionless and didn’t seem to care much about him, Pei Shenyan was still very pleased.
"Thank you, wife." Pei Shenyan sat on the chair, bowed, and saluted Li Yuwen.
Li Yuwen felt embarrassed, turning her head away, "There’s no need to be polite."
She was worried in her heart, how to sleep at night?
The room Pei Shenyan stayed in was a typical farmhouse bedroom.
The furniture in the room was simple, only a bed, a small cabinet, a wooden rack for hanging clothes, and an Eight Immortals table, surrounded by four stools, without any other furniture.
The bedding on the bed was piled thickly, the sheets, quilt cover, and pillowcases were semi-new, but very clean, their color washed almost white.
The weather was still cold, so there were no mosquitoes, hence no mosquito net was hung.
There wasn’t even a screen in front of the bed.
Pushing open the door and window, the bed was completely visible, privacy was fully exposed.
Li Yuwen somewhat regretted coming here.
There’s only one bed, how would she and Pei Shenyan sleep?
Cui Xi paid no attention to Li Yuwen’s expression, cheerfully tidying up Li Yuwen’s luggage.
Outer garments folded in the box would be pressed out with deep creases over time.
Cui Xi opened the rattan box, took out Li Yuwen’s outer garments, and hung them on a wooden rack about five feet long.
After hanging Li Yuwen’s outer garments, Cui Xi went to hang Pei Shenyan’s outer garments.
Their outer garments were numerous, quickly filling that five-foot-long wooden rack.
Li Yuwen’s eyes lit up, with no screen, a clothes rack could serve as a screen.
At this moment, Wei San came again, she entered the room and said, "Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, dinner is ready, where should I serve it?"
Li Yuwen glanced at the Eight Immortals table in the bedroom, "Let’s serve it here." She didn’t want to dine with the Wei Family.
That would give this witch Wei San a chance to ogle Pei Shenyan.
Pei Shenyan also said, "Serve it in the bedroom to keep warm."
Wei San said, "Alright, I’ll bring it right away."
As she left, Li Yuwen kept staring at her intently; if Wei San dared to look at Pei Shenyan again, she’d expose Wei San on the spot.
However, this time Wei San didn’t look at Pei Shenyan, she left immediately after speaking without looking back.
In the corner of the room was a small stove, a tea kettle on top boiling water, steam gently rising. While waiting for the food, Cui Xi poured the tea water and brewed hot tea.
Pei Shenyan first handed the hot tea cup to Li Yuwen, he asked with concern, "I didn’t come home last night, did you sleep well Yuwen?"
"Good." Good my foot!
Li Yuwen thought secretly, it was strange: when Pei Shenyan was home, she slept soundly; when he wasn’t, she couldn’t sleep.
What kind of odd notion is this?
"Young mistress didn’t sleep well, Mr. Pei." Cui Xi spoke quickly, "Young mistress woke up in the middle of the night, and early today, her eyes were dark and her eyelids swollen, clearly she didn’t sleep well all night."
Li Yuwen glared at her, "Isn’t it because of you! You poured me so much water, I drank and couldn’t sleep."
Cui Xi said, "But young mistress, before drinking water, you weren’t asleep either, tossing and turning till midnight. I heard you shifting, I didn’t sleep well either."
Li Yuwen, "..." She glared at Cui Xi fiercely, was this girl asking for trouble?
Cui Xi looked at Li Yuwen with wide eyes, "Young mistress, I’m not lying."
Li Yuwen gave her a sideways glance, "The room was noisy with mice, I didn’t sleep well because of the noise."
"There are two cats kept in the house, mice wouldn’t dare come," Cui Xi added.
