After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

The two of them waited until the middle of the night before Pei Ji became vigilant, but at this moment they had all dispersed, sitting on the ground bored, feeding the mosquitoes in the wild in late autumn.

Mosquitoes are not as powerful as Xia Ye, but they are also annoying.

"Little lady, what are you waiting for?" He couldn't help asking again.

"Wait to confirm one thing." Zhu Jiangjiang answered him sleepily, shaking his head.

She wants to sleep.

Pei Ji felt his shoulders being touched countless times by her head, so he reached out to hold her shaking head and let her sleep next to him.

Sleepiness struck, Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't tell what she was leaning on for a long time, and she fell asleep when there was something comfortable for her to lean on.

Before falling asleep, she didn't forget to murmur softly and tell him: "We'll go home when those people leave..."

After speaking, she completely lost consciousness and fell asleep.

Pei Ji had nothing to do with her, he wrapped the cloak on his shoulders around her, and pulled her into his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.

This is the first time they have been so close, thanks to the group of unknown people.

After waiting for a while, the group of people who didn't know where they came from finally left. Pei Ji tried to wake Zhu Jiangjiang up until the footsteps faded away.

"Little lady, they are leaving, wake up."

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't respond.

"Little lady?"

She still didn't respond.

Pei Ji knew that she couldn't wake up, "My lady, my lady, do you know that I am your husband-in-law?"

Pei Ji had the opportunity to call her that while she was asleep, but calling her a lady was not enough, and he had a bolder idea.

He swallowed, his body tensed unconsciously, his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, he turned his head stiffly, approached her carefully, and placed a light kiss on her forehead.

"hey-hey."

A kiss so light that he didn't know if he had touched it made Pei Ji as happy as a child, giggling non-stop in the dark.

After he was happy, he hugged her up and took her home.

Along the way, he walked very steadily and carefully, for fear of waking her in her sleep.

Back in Xiaohuang Village, Pei Ji didn't open the door of Pei's house, afraid of waking Pei Xiaoyu up, so he took Zhu Jiangjiang up to the second floor with a light effort.

It will be dawn in another hour, and he is really reluctant to let her go.

Seeing her sleeping peacefully in his arms, he was so impulsive that he wanted to tell her the truth.

I don't know, did the emperor see the secret booklet he handed over, if he saw it, he could make it back to Pei Zhao again.

Pei Ji didn't know how long she stayed in Zhu Jiangjiang's room, until the sound of villagers getting up and opening the door gradually came from the village, and he had no choice but to put her down.

After carefully tucking her in the quilt, he left quietly and went to his room in Jinqiu Pavilion.

Zhu Jiangjiang was really sleepy last night, and slept until the sun was up.

If it hadn't been for the harsh crying and cursing downstairs that woke her up, she might not have woken up.

"Oh, god damn it, which starving ghost cut off my crops, I curse him with his guts rotten, and he won't be able to give birth to a belt handle in eight lifetimes..."

It seems that the villagers whose food was stolen in Xiaohuang Village have discovered that their food has been stolen, and they are cursing around the whole village to scold the person who stole the food.

How could you scold the villagers?

Zhu Jiangjiang was puzzled. She changed her black clothes and hurried downstairs, wanting to see what was going on in the field.

But before he went out, he was stopped by Qin Feng and Wu Jinping.

"Miss Zhu, you often go out at night these days, and the villagers' food was stolen today, does it have anything to do with you?" Qin Feng was really direct.

When he came over, Wu Jinping had just heard about Zhu Jiangjiang's going out at night, and now he wanted to hear her explanation.

Even Zhu Jiangjiang would not allow any theft to happen under his nose.

"You doubt me?"

Zhu Jiangjiang's eyes widened, and he almost blurted out that they were sick.

"I have so much land and so much food, and I still need to steal that little thing? What am I for!"

"Then why are you going out at night?"

Qin Feng also thinks that she has no motive, but the facts are in front of him, reasonable doubts are always possible, right?

"I, I..." Zhu Jiangjiang, I, I, I, I, I, I couldn't say a reason for a while.

If she said that she went out to catch thieves, they would definitely ask her why the food had not been stolen, and she knew there were thieves.

If they don't say it, they will doubt themselves again, which is really a dilemma.

correct!

"Where is General Pei? General Pei was with me last night, he can testify for me!" Zhu Jiangjiang looked outside the door, looking for Pei Ji.

"General Pei? He's back?" Wu Jinping asked in surprise.

Qin Feng was also surprised, but he was even more curious, "So I wish you a few days, are you going to the night meeting with General Pei?"

Pei Ji is fine, I can't help it so soon.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We met by chance last night!" Zhu Jiangjiang defended himself solemnly, so as to save Pei Xiaoyu who was beside him from thinking about it.

"I'll call General Pei!"

He showed up in Xiaohuang Village so late last night. Presumably he came back directly from Jiangbei Prefecture and never stopped.

He accompanied her outside to feed the mosquitoes most of the night, and brought her back. He must be exhausted and hasn't gotten up yet.

Zhu Jiangjiang knocked on the door of Pei Ji's room, thinking that he was in a deep sleep and it might take him a long time to respond, when the door suddenly opened.

With two heavy dark circles under his eyes, Pei Ji greeted her while buttoning his coat, and smiled at her, "Morning."

"When those people left last night, did the sound of the wheels be heavier than when they came?" Zhu Jiangjiang asked directly about last night.

She didn't even care how she got back.

Pei Ji pondered for a moment, then replied: "It is indeed much heavier than when we came here, the car is full of things."

"What's the matter? What happened outside?" He also noticed the curses in the village.

"Those people came to steal food last night. Some people in the village had their food stolen from their fields. I'm going to have a look at the fields." Zhu Jiangjiang turned around and walked out.

Hearing this, Pei Ji followed immediately, bumping into Wu Jinping and Qin Feng who came out of Pei's house.

"General Pei, when did you come back, why..." Qin Feng greeted Pei Ji happily, but Pei Ji went after Zhu Jiangjiang without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Seeing the two hurriedly, Wu Jinping and Qin Feng also chased after them.

In the crop fields at the farthest end of Xiaohuang Village, several fields were trampled, and the ears of rice were cut off from them, leaving only bare straw.

Several villagers whose food had been stolen stood in the field, weeping and staggering, pointing at the injustice of God.

The first crop was washed clean and there was no harvest, and this crop was stolen again, and no one can stand it.

"How could this be?" Pei Ji frowned, remembering that Zhu Jiangjiang was waiting here last night, he subconsciously glanced at her.

Could it be that this group of food robbers was what she was waiting for last night?

But... how did she know that someone was coming to steal food?
