Therefore, when Shen Miao was drunk, Jingzhe said, “Prince Rui can explain the things in this book for you.”

Shen Miao was drunk and did not know what she was doing. The two maids followed behind. They were nervous and uneasy. After guarding outside for the entire night, their eyelids were droopy. Luckily, Shen Miao stayed in Xie Jingxing’s room for the entire night.

Now that they heard Cong Yang’s words, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. They felt that they had done a good thing. It probably would not be long before they could celebrate the arrival of the young master.

At this moment, Uncle Tang walked in from outside. When he saw the three of them, he first shouted at Cong Yang, “What are you doing here so early in the morning? Hurry up and leave.” He smiled at Jingzhe and Gu Yu and said, “Why do you look like you’re not in good spirits?”

Jingzhe and Gu Yu were Shen Miao’s personal maids, so Uncle Tang was slightly more respectful to them. Jingzhe and Gu Yu didn’t know how to explain. They said something to brush him off before scurrying away.

Uncle Tang stood in front of Xie Jingxing’s door alone. After everyone left, he suddenly smiled and was amused for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself, “I have to make some tonic.” Then, he left in a hurry.

Pei Lang’s condition was much worse than Shen Miao’s. Although he managed to survive, Gao Yang did not dare to let his guard down. Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang took care of Pei Lang. If anything happened to him, they would immediately inform Gao Yang.

Pei Lang woke up a few times at night, but a moment later, he would fall asleep again. This happened repeatedly. Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang were busy taking care of him and didn’t know what was going on between Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing.

It was almost noon when Hui Xiang brought in porridge. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Pei Lang sitting in front of the window and looking at the tree branch in a daze.

“Mr. Pei?” Hui Xiang paused for a moment before walking over happily. She put the porridge bowl aside and said, “You’re finally awake.”

Pei Lang slowly turned around and looked at her. He seemed to have recognized her as Prince Rui’s maid and said, “Princess Consort must be awake too, right?”

Hui Xiang was a little puzzled by Pei Lang’s confident tone, but she still said, “She woke up yesterday. Madam was not seriously injured, but you were seriously injured. It’s all thanks to you. You blocked the knife for her and saved her life.”

Pei Lang lowered his head and sighed. He said in a low voice, “Saved her? I owed her a life.”

Hui Xiang did not hear what Pei Lang said clearly and asked, “What did you

Pei Lang looked like he was in trance.

He finally remembered.

After taking the knife for Shen Miao and being on the verge of death, he had a dream. That dream was long and real, but it enlightened him.

Why did Shen Miao always show hostility towards him before? Why did he always feel inexplicably guilty towards Shen Miao?

These questions were all answered.

The abbot in the dream said that even if he sacrificed his life, there was no guarantee that he would definitely have the chance to undo his mistake. The abbot also said that even if he could undo his mistake, the trajectory of their lives would be disrupted, and he might suffer because of it.

In spite of all these uncertainties, Pei Lang still agreed.

He had once loved a woman, but his love was actually no different from Fu Xiuyi’s coldness. He pushed Shen Miao to the edge step by step. On one hand, he sympathized with Shen Miao, but on the other hand, he rationally weighed the pros and cons and abandoned her.

He and Fu Xiuyi had both abandoned Shen Miao, so in this life, Shen Miao did not hesitate to abandon them.

After knowing so much, he no longer had the courage to face Shen Miao. He said that he would stay by her side and help her. Now that he thought about it, he was just driven to do it by the guilt from his previous life. He was repaying Shen Miao.

The complicated entanglement of two lifetimes made him unable to think straight, but he felt that it was time to untangle this complicated relationship.

Hui Xiang said, “Mr. Pei, eat some porridge first. You still have to rest well. Young Master Gao will come and perform acupuncture on you later. You’ll be fine after recuperating for a few days.”

Pei Lang paused for a moment and said, “Thank you.”

“Mr. Pei, you’re welcome.” Hui Xiang said, “You saved Madam’s life and are her savior.”

“Please get me a pen and paper,” Pei Lang said. His lips were pale, and his eyes were dim, but his tone was very firm..
