Chapter 226 -227 The Truth Revealed
Pei Huaian listened to her so certain words, the hand resting on his leg involuntarily clenched tight, half a moment later he finally spoke, “You still want to have children with someone else!”
“I know you like children very much, you want to protect her, but after all, this is not a long-term solution, I still need to find someone to marry and have children.” She advised earnestly.
“Then what about Xiao Linzhang? Have you considered him, aren’t you always the one who loved him the most?”
Pei Huaian could hardly believe it, the person who once loved Xiao Linzhang so much was now saying she wanted to marry someone and even have children with other men; the future predicament of Xiao Linzhang would be very difficult.
“It doesn’t matter, they are all my children, I will treat them impartially.”
“Why must you marry!” Pei Huaian truly couldn’t imagine her married to someone else and blurted out, demanding an explanation.
She looked up, took a deep breath, her expression resolute, and slowly enunciated, “Many people curse my child as a bastard, having a stepfather is still a father, it’s better than now anyway.”
“I’ll marry you.”
Without a second thought, Pei Huaian directly expressed what was in his heart.
Shao He showed no surprise, but instead, the corners of her mouth curled up with a mocking smile as she looked at him.
“I had a paternity test done for Chu Yu and the child, they do not share any blood relation, remember when I was drugged and out of my mind, not knowing who the real father of the child is.”
As she spoke, her gaze remained on Pei Huaian, only retracting her eyes when she saw him show a guilty look.
Lowering her eyes, she continued, “The child’s father is someone who dares to act but not to bear the responsibility, so I’ll just have to find him a stepfather!”
“No!” Pei Huaian refused outright.
But Shao He didn’t pay any attention to him, just sighed softly, “You tell me, how can this man be so heartless, the child is clearly right in front of him, yet he doesn’t dare to acknowledge it? He even pretends not to recognize him, what a hypocritical man!”
This cold mockery was clearly a veiled insult, and even someone as obtuse as Pei Huaian could hear it.
He had never felt so nervous, his hands somewhat unable to find a place to rest.
Seeing his fidgety look, Shao He became even more sure of her guess.
“You know everything.” Pei Huaian looked up, his voice cautious as he asked.
Shao He let out a cold laugh, “Some man is teaching the child in my house to call him father every day, it’s hard not to know!”
Just then, the carriage wheel suddenly hit a stone, jolting violently.
Due to inertia, Shao He’s body leaned forward, her forehead nearly hitting the front. Pei Huaian, quick-witted, reached out to support her shoulder, pulling her into his arms.
As their eyes met, Shao He’s cheeks turned slightly red, her eyes downcast, shy like a blooming flower.
Pei Huaian’s heart raced, his breathing quickened, his Adam’s apple bobbed, a flame burning inside him.
He forced himself to look away, not daring to look at her again, for fear he would not be able to resist kissing her fiercely.
“Are you alright?”
Shao He also realized her gaffe, stood up, pushed Pei Huaian away, and as the carriage came to a stop, she quickly jumped off, not wanting to say a word of goodbye to him.
Pei Huaian knew Shao He was truly angry this time and hurried after her, grabbing her wrist and saying, “Things are not what you think, listen to me explain.”
“The Fifth Prince is still grounded; you’d better not be too presumptuous, go back quickly.”
Shao He, now on her high horse, was unwilling to listen to his explanations, and she became even more suspicious whether the grounding was real. If he was supposed to be restrained, why could he come and go freely? If it was fake, then he was intentionally deceiving her.
To be deceived over and over like this, Shao He felt that anyone would find it hard to accept.
“Shao He, my grounding is real; I attended the banquet because I was worried you’d be bullied,” Pei Huaian refused to let go, afraid that if he did, he might never be able to hold her again.
Shao He slowly withdrew her hand, her expression very cold, “Even if you didn’t go, I wouldn’t let anyone bully me, the Fifth Prince worries too much. Please leave.”
“Shao He…”

“Fifth Prince, please conduct yourself with dignity, if you follow me one more step, I will report to the officials and have you arrested for breaking into a private house!”
After Shao He spoke, she disappeared with Qingxia from his sight, and it wasn’t until a loud ‘bang’ sounded that Pei Huaian came back to his senses.
Ah Mo watched his dazed master, thinking of the sporadic conversation that had come from inside, not knowing how to comfort him.
Just as he wondered whether to speak up, a cold gaze fell upon him, startling him into standing up straight.
“Master, Master.”
Pei Huaian said nothing, turning to walk next door.
Only after seeing the retreating figure did Ah Mo let out his breath; he was truly afraid the master would make another shocking statement, after all, this wasn’t the first or second time.
…
Two days later, Ah Mo suddenly reported, “Master, you and Commandery Princess are investigating the incident from the banquet two years ago.”
Pei Huaian threw all the fish food in his hand down, clapped his hands, and said, “Have someone meddle in the middle, don’t let her find anything.”
She knows Princess Ninghe might suspect the identity of the child but dealing with her is not easy.
After all, her status and background are different from ordinary people, handling this needs extra caution, otherwise it’ll bring great trouble to Shao He.
“Yes.”
Ah Mo turned to leave, but then heard Pei Huaian’s voice coming from behind him.
“How should one cajole a woman?”
