Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 598 - 0556: Li Yuwen Is Left Speechless (1)_3

Pei Fusheng was young and feared Li Yuwen, but Pei Ji did not.

He stuck his neck out, asserting, "You care about him? Then let me ask you, did you see him off when he left? Did you serve him tea? When you caught a cold and had a fever a few days ago, he stayed by your side all night without undressing, but when he got drunk at the Li Family, you just went off to bed before midnight. Is that what you call caring for him?"

Li Yuwen was left speechless by the questioning.

"Can’t say anything, can you? Hmph!" Pei Ji scoffed, flinging his sleeves.

For the first time, Li Yuwen was left speechless, though she begrudgingly accepted it in her heart, she resisted, "You’re talking nonsense, I wanted to see him off, but he said he didn’t want me to. When we were at my mother’s house, didn’t I stay with him for half the night? I was helped back to my room to sleep by Cui Xi, I wanted to stay with him, truly. I...I just fell into a deep sleep, you can’t blame me." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"You don’t hold him in your heart, if you cared even a little bit, you wouldn’t have slept so soundly! You’re not even as good as Wei San, who stayed with the young master all night last night." Pei Ji smirked.

Li Yuwen gasped, that vixen Wei San stayed with Pei Shenyan all night?

Alone in a room, a man and a woman...

Li Yuwen was furious, "Ji Bo, how could you let Wei San stay with the young master all night? A man and a woman alone together in one room, how improper is that?"

"The young master’s foot was injured by the Wei Family, Wei San is feeling guilty, she carries herself with integrity, it’s not like what you think, young mistress." Pei Ji sneered.

"You’re an unmarried old man, what do you know of a young girl’s thoughts?" Li Yuwen clenched her teeth, sneering in anger.

"I might not understand that, but I understand care! Young mistress, you say you care about the young master, then go stay with him one night. If you don’t, I’ll call Wei San to do it, after all, the Wei Family owes the young master." Pei Ji said, turning to leave.

"You dare call Wei San a try!" Li Yuwen stepped in front of Pei Ji, blocking his way, "I am Pei Shenyan’s wife, I get to decide his daily life, even if Ji Bo is the young master’s attendant, so what, I am the lady of the house! I take precedence!"

Pei Ji raised an eyebrow, "Alright, if the young mistress has arranged it all, I have nothing to say."

To prove her care for Pei Shenyan, and to prevent that vixen Wei San from getting close to him, Li Yuwen decided to stay with Pei Shenyan for the night.

When she returned to the bedroom, Cui Xi was tidying up her and Pei Shenyan’s clothes.

"Young mistress, Wei San came earlier to ask if you needed a bath prepared." Cui Xi turned to look at her and said.

Li Yuwen did not answer right away but first asked Pei Shenyan, her tone gentle, a smile on her face, "Husband, do you want to rest?"

Pei Shenyan looked at her, his face puzzled, but he nodded, "Alright."

Li Yuwen then said to Cui Xi, "Cui Xi, the young master wants to rest, quickly inform Wei San to bring the bath water."

"Yes, young mistress." Cui Xi looked back at her and walked out.

Why does the young mistress care so much about the young master now? She even speaks softly, unlike before.

The Wei Family’s arrangements were very considerate, the bathtub they sent was new.

Li Yuwen supervised Pei Fusheng mixing the bath water and personally helped Pei Shenyan undress.

Pei Shenyan’s face flushed, "I can do it myself."

"Let me do it." Li Yuwen insisted on removing Pei Shenyan’s outer garments.

Leaving Pei Fusheng stunned.

But it was Pei Fusheng who attended to Pei Shenyan during the bath.

After Pei Shenyan finished bathing, he went to rest in the outer room, and only then did Li Yuwen go to the bedroom to bathe.

The conditions of the Wei Family couldn’t compare to the Li Family and Pei Shenyan’s home; during the bath, there was only a small fire basin on the side, leaving Li Yuwen shivering from the cold.

To appear gentler than Wei San, Li Yuwen kept her complaints to herself.

After both had bathed, it was time to decide how to sleep.

Cui Xi and Pei Fusheng bid the two, "Young master, young mistress, rest early," and then shut the door.

In their minds, these two have always shared a bed.

"How do we sleep?" Li Yuwen looked at the bed smaller than a bridal bed, frowning deeply.

"There’s only one bed..." Pei Shenyan looked at her, "and only one blanket."

"How poor is this Wei Family, only sending you one blanket?" Li Yuwen’s face darkened, contemplating whether to ask the Wei Family for two more blankets.

"The Wei Family owed a lot of money last year, sold all their cotton, there are no extra blankets at home." Pei Shenyan looked at her, "Maybe..."

"Maybe what?" Li Yuwen’s face soured further.

Share a blanket with Pei Shenyan?

He dares to think!

Seeing her expression change, Pei Shenyan hesitated, "Perhaps..., you sleep first, then wake me at dawn? We take turns sleeping?"
