I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 926: Meeting Pei Zhuang again, the little girl who has seen through the world.

"No, don't, Junior Brother!"

Xu's mother woke up from a nightmare and recalled that she seemed to have been rescued by someone.

She glanced around.

The small room was filled with a small dressing table, two small stools, and a wooden bed that creaked when she moved slightly.

"Ma'am, are you awake?"

At this time, a pretty girl in plain clothes walked in to the door. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

She has almond eyes, rosy cheeks, skin whiter than snow, and light makeup on her face. She looks like a girl from a scholarly family, and she doesn't fit in at all in this shabby thatched cottage.

"You saved me? Where's my husband? Is he okay?"

Mother Xu looked carefully at the girl in front of her.

Although he looks like he is only at the third level, she no longer dares to judge people by their appearance.

In the past there was Li Mu, and now there is the man in black robe.

The great hermit hides in the city, the master never deceives her.

Unfortunately, she didn’t understand this until she was nearly forty.

"no no!"

The girl placed her light blue skirt on the bedside and waved her hand,

"It was Taoist Shan Yang who saved you."

"The Taoist priest is a man, and it is not convenient for him to take care of the lady, so he asked me to help."

"What about my husband? How is he?" Xu's mother tried to sit up despite the severe pain, and said anxiously.

"This..." Pei Zhuang hesitated slightly, thinking of the man covered in blood, and said hesitantly,

"Master Shanyang said that his life is not in danger, but his arm is..."

Hearing this, a trace of loneliness flashed across Xu's mother's eyes. She then grabbed Pei Zhuang's wrist and said sincerely,

"Thank you for your care, young lady. I am lucky to be alive. I believe my husband will get over it."

"Can I go see my husband?"

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. The Taoist priest has done a favor for my Pei family, and I should repay him."

Pei Zhuang hurriedly shook her head, carefully put Xu's mother's hand back into the quilt, pursed her lips and said,

"Madam, just call me Xiaozhuang."

"The Taoist priest said that Madam suffered serious internal injuries and needs to rest."

"The master lives in my eldest brother's house. When the lady can walk again, she can come and see him anytime. There is no need to rush."

Bang bang.

At this moment, there were two slight knocks on the door outside.

Pei Zhuang quickly lowered the curtains on the head of the bed and then shouted outside,

"Master, come in. Madam is awake."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound.

Shan Yang first glanced at the situation in the room with his peripheral vision, then walked slowly into the room, turned his back to the bed and asked,

"Mrs. Xu, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for saving my life, my husband and I will never forget it."

"If you need my help in the future, my husband and I will go through fire and water to help you!"

Shan Yang shook his head slightly and said,

"Don't worry, Madam Xu."

"...I hope you will forgive me for any offense I have caused you before."

"Master, you are too kind. You saved my husband and I's lives. Although I am a woman, I also know how to act in an emergency."

The two chatted awkwardly for a while, Shan Yang felt Xu's mother's pulse again, and then asked about the business.

"Madam Xu, do you know who has the ability to injure you two so seriously?"

Hearing this, Xu's mother was shocked. She looked at Shanyang's wrist through the curtain and hesitated for a moment before saying,

"That man suddenly blocked my husband and I's path. We had never met before and we don't remember any grudges against each other."

Shan Yang obviously noticed Xu's mother's gaze, and subconsciously touched the beads and explained,

"This pearl is indeed my personal belongings."

"I gave this pearl to my master before..."

"Now it seems that my master is also..."

Shan Yang clearly felt that the man in black robe had shown mercy when he rescued someone before.

"Sorry, I'm not doubting the Taoist leader..." Xu's mother wanted to explain.

Shan Yang waved his hand helplessly.

"It's okay. Madam and Brother Xu need to rest for their injuries."

"I have already planned to leave for the capital. The Pei brothers and sisters are outer disciples of the Mo family. You can stay here to recuperate for the time being and leave when your injuries get better."

Shanyang knew that the Nong family and the Mohist family had a close relationship.

Telling her the background of the Pei brothers and sisters would also put her at ease.

"Master! Can you take my wife and I with you? We are also planning to go to the capital!"

Xu's mother got up hurriedly, and the thin quilt slipped off, revealing a glimpse of spring light.

Pei Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to cover her with the thin blanket and helped her lie back on the bed.

"Don't get excited, ma'am."

"Actually, my brother and I were planning to go to the capital before."

"Why not, wait until you recover from your injuries and go with us brothers and sisters."

Pei Zhuang’s little thoughts naturally could not be hidden from the two of them.

Shan Yang turned his back to the bed and said after a moment's hesitation,

"That's good. If we can meet Master Ge, it will be good for your injuries."

"Well, Xiaozhuang, ask Brother Pei what he thinks. If he is willing, he will go to the capital with me this time."

"You can also help take care of Madam Xu on the way."

Pei Zhuang responded repeatedly, but her palms were already covered with sweat.

Pei Qian was not selected by the newly built workshop of the Mo family. As a direct descendant of the Pei family who was "exiled" here, he could not leave Baidi City.

Therefore, she had to find a reason to leave with Xu's mother and others.

She couldn't stay in this house any longer.

Since that night, the atmosphere at home is no longer as harmonious as before.

Pei Qian also became more and more irritable because he lost the opportunity to "stand out".

He either beat or scolded the two of them, no longer acting like the kind brother he used to be.

Half a month ago, Pei Qian took Pei away from home late at night.

But a few days ago, Pei came back alone and miscarried.

After asking, I found out that Pei Qian got the news from somewhere that the current princess and the Prince of Zhennan had come to Baidi City.

The inn we stayed in also hired servants at high prices.

Pei Qian originally planned to send Pei Zhuang away, but unfortunately the Prince of Zhennan seemed to have a unique taste and said that he refused to "hire child laborers."

Pei Zhuang, who was only 28 years old, was naturally eliminated.

Pei Qian was unwilling to give up, so he planned to let the experienced Pei take action personally.

Unfortunately, Pei was already weak, and after that night she was only half dead.

Unable to withstand such fatigue from the journey, he fainted on the road that night.

Unexpectedly, Pei Qian not only did not find a doctor for her, but he threw her into a mass grave while she was still breathing.

Fortunately, he was rescued by a kind couple and saved his life.

Pei didn't want to come back at first, and planned to work as a slave in the couple's house to repay them.

But the couple politely declined.

Pei then returned to the village and observed for several days. After confirming that Pei Qian was not at home, she prepared to take the gold and silver jewelry hidden in the house and go find the couple to repay their gratitude.

Pei Zhuang sighed in his heart. He never expected that the family that once swore to never separate would now go their separate ways.

After much inquiry, she found out that although Pei Qian did not get close to the Prince of Zhennan, he accidentally joined the Baidi City Guard.

His skills in forging weapons and armor were not exaggerated, and since he no longer hid his abilities, he would naturally be valued.

However, there has been no news for half a month. Perhaps, she will not be of any use to her sister in the future.

With this thought in mind, Pei Zhuang no longer had any worries.

This time, by leaving, I can ask Shanyang about the whereabouts of the young man and return the blood agate and gold ingot.

Next, she really wanted to go to the capital.

I heard that Tianzong, located north of the capital, was a secluded place, perfect for someone like her who had given up hope.

At this moment, a woman's anxious cry suddenly came from outside the house.

"Madam, madam! The master has woken up and is crying to see you."

Hearing this, Xu's mother raised her eyebrows and turned around to see Pei standing at the door with a worried look on her face and blood all over her body.

"Xiaowan?"
