Chapter 465: Chapter 327: This Time I Will Do It Fair and Square (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2
He slowly stood up as he spoke, standing in the shadow under the steps, as majestic as a steep mountain peak.
"So, tomorrow morning, we’ll sign the documents."
Fu Zhen couldn’t help but stand up as well.
She fixed her gaze on Pei Zhan, who was so close, holding her breath.
The moonlight tonight was truly gentle. Standing before her was a handsome and commanding man, yet the words he spoke lacked the usual sharpness.
Everyone she knew was from military families, and even though many among them had read books, none possessed the immense talent of Xu Yin.
In the Northwest camp, Xu Yin’s talent was indeed hard to overlook.
Fu Zhen enjoyed listening to him talk eloquently about the contents of books and cherished the days of galloping freely with him in the desert sands or strolling under the moonlight.
Most of the beautiful moments outside of war were spent with Xu Yin.
She couldn’t deny that she had feelings for Xu Yin, and she indeed knew what it was like to fall for someone.
As for Pei Zhan — she couldn’t say whether she had feelings or not because she never really considered the question.
There was no doubt that Pei Zhan’s remarkable military achievements and their recent collaboration in solving cases proved his excellence.
If Xu Yin was the standout among scholars, then Pei Zhan was undoubtedly the most prominent figure among the new generation of military generals.
Besides talent, Pei Zhan also had the innate qualities that could stir a maiden’s heart. He was tall, heroic, and his looks combined the best features of Pei Yu and Mrs. Pei, with noble and vigorous features.
Most importantly, he was brave and righteous.
So, those young ladies who once lined up to marry him were not merely attracted by his family’s status and the identity of being a General’s wife.
However, Fu Zhen initially didn’t see him as a peer. Later, as the case progressed, she focused all her thoughts on important matters, leaving no time to consider these things.
At this moment, with his heart laid bare so clearly, she didn’t know what to say.
Initially, he had schemed to trap her, resorting to any means necessary to achieve his goals. He didn’t shy away from labeling his methods as "despicable." Who would have thought that he would now let go so decisively?
"Are you serious?" she asked.
"Of course." Pei Zhan calmly met her gaze, "I, Pei Zhan, may not be a good person, but I still keep my words.
"When I married you, my means were not entirely honorable, but now, I want to let you go with dignity, to do something forthright, so you won’t look down on me."
Fu Zhen swallowed lightly.
"It’s late, let’s return to our rooms." Before she could respond, Pei Zhan directed his gaze to the night, "I’ll have someone move the bedding out. Tomorrow morning, all you need to do is wait for the documents."
After saying these words, he turned around and stepped over the threshold. The General’s stride was so decisive, as if giving orders on the battlefield. In the courtyard brushed by the autumn wind, soon only the rustling of the leaves remained...
Although she didn’t understand why they had to move out of the main house, after Pei Zhan gave the order, Guo Song and the others swiftly moved the bedding.
As Fu Zhen stepped into the room, they were just coming out with the quilts and pillows.
Guo Song sent his men ahead, then stopped to say, "Since childhood, the General hasn’t been good with words. He went to the northwest for training at a young age. If he said anything that upset you, Young Madam, please don’t take it to heart!
"I’ve followed the General for years, and you’re the only one that has ever led him to be so distracted that he can’t eat or sleep well!"
Fu Zhen curled her lips: "Is that so."
"Do you think I could lie?"
Guo Song glanced outside, "The General is still waiting for me in the side room, I should head over!"
Fu Zhen watched him leave, came to the empty couch, picked up a dropped fan, looked at it, then tossed it back onto the couch and went into the carved bed to lie down.
The night was deep, and with one less person in the room, it surprisingly felt as if everyone was gone, with not a sound to be heard.
...
Pei Zhan stood by the window, just in time to see the main room’s door and courtyard.
Not until the lights went out across did he step away from the window and lay down on the bed without getting undressed.
In such a night, who could possibly find peace to sleep?
Fu Zhen got out of bed at her usual time, and just after finishing breakfast, Guo Song came in with a shocking expression.
"Young Madam!"
"What is it?" Fu Zhen, holding a cup of tea, looked up at him calmly from the couch.
