When Lin Changqing washed up and reappeared, his expression dropped.

When Chen Xi saw him like this, he knew that he must have heard the rumor.

During the meal, Lin Changqing didn't show it. He still cared about her very much. He asked her what she had been doing at home during this period, whether she was in good mood, in good health, and whether her children were well. He had already heard about the incident at Tan Ji Restaurant. , also knew about her counterattack, and everyone in Cangzhou got the news, and felt that she did a good job. I believe that after the recipe for meatballs spreads to the capital and Jiangnan, Chen Ji's reputation will definitely rise to the next level!

All these things, but they didn't mention that Chen Xi watched two plays, and then there were rumors that she had fallen in love with an actor!

Chen Xi knows bad things!

But there were people around during the meal, so Chen Xi couldn't say much. When they returned to the inner room after dinner, she "confessed" as soon as Lin Changqing's arm touched her belly!

"There is another thing I don't know if they have reported it to you. I was a little bored a few days ago, so I thought of listening to a play. The actors in the troupe sang all day long, and their voices were still fine. I just asked out of curiosity. I wonder which of the talkative members of the troupe went out to brag, and finally said that I had fallen in love with an actor. I was so unjustly accused and so angry!"

Lin Changqing caressed Chen Xi's belly while watching her "acting". Finally, after hearing what she said, he just said "hmm" in a neutral tone, and then stopped talking!

Chen Xi's eyebrows jumped, knowing that this was not a good coax, so he could only continue: "I have asked someone to investigate. It is said that the first rumor came from Tan Ji Restaurant. I even speculated that Tan Ji Restaurant itself was made out of nothing. Recently, I have been keeping people watching their movements, suspecting that they will make a big move with Tubo Xizuo. They will never be willing to be suppressed by our Chen Ji like this! Although you are no longer in Yunzhou City, I know that you The information here will definitely be better informed than mine, do you know what they are going to do?”

Lin Changqing's hand began to move up as he touched it. Chen Xi did not dare to show his displeasure, so she could only shrink into his arms, and then heard him say lightly.

"The Tan family is cooperating with Tubo Xizuo. I sent people to keep an eye on it from the beginning. Tubo Xizuo did take some action, but we have to wait and see what their actions are."

"Really, let's not be in a hurry, just wait!"

Chen Xi leaned against Lin Changqing obediently, grabbing his other hand and squeezing it, secretly glad that the topic had been successfully changed.

But just when I was relieved, I heard him say from above my head: "What kind of drama did you listen to in the past two days?"

Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, one is "Mulan" and the other is "The Drunken Concubine." He didn't say another word.

"Oh, was the show good?"

"Okay!"

"Where does it look good?"

"...I don't think it looks good."

"It doesn't look good but you're rewarded fifty taels? Is he a good showman?"

"........."

She sat up, pulled Lin Changqing's hand out, and looked at him steadily: "Are you unhappy?"

Lin Changqing sneered directly this time.

Chen Xi looked helpless: "Didn't we get rewards like this when we were in the capital before? I came here according to the rules of the capital. After all, we are from the capital. We can't lose people from the capital, right?"

"I'm not free tomorrow. I'll call someone back the day after tomorrow. I want to see how powerful this pillar can be, and it can actually make our Huaishan County Lord feel that we can rival the famous actors in the capital!"

Chen Xi immediately narrowed his eyes: "A famous actor in the capital? Did I say he is comparable to a famous actor in the capital? Who do you think of?"

Lin Changqing frowned: "Don't make trouble unreasonably, is that what I meant?"

"Humph, I heard that when you are socializing in the capital, you will also go to the theater with others. When you talk about the theater troupe in the capital, there is a person in your mind immediately, otherwise you would not immediately say 'famous actor', Let me guess who you are thinking of? Is it 'Flower Lady' or 'Liu Yemei'?"

Hua Guzi and Liu Yemei are both famous actresses in the capital's theater troupe, and they are both women. Chen Xi deliberately mentioned them at this time just to cause trouble!

Sure enough, when she said this, Lin Changqing's brows furrowed even more: "What's the matter with you?"

Chen Xi was just joking at first, but when she saw Lin Changqing frowning, she felt aggrieved and tried to get up after pushing him.

How could Lin Changqing let her leave like this? He simply hugged her into his lap and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, it's not my fault, I shouldn't mention this!"

When Lin Changqing coaxed him, Chen Xi felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears!

This frightened Lin Changqing. He quickly wiped her tears and said warmly: "I'm a little upset when I heard these rumors, but I definitely don't annoy you. I'm just angry myself. I don't blame you." You, stop crying, stop crying, it seems that there must be a daughter in your belly, making you more and more delicate!"

Chen Xi's tears fell. After the anger dissipated, he no longer felt aggrieved. The tears soon stopped and he hugged Lin Changqing's buns with a look of helplessness and acted coquettishly.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. It's been like this lately. It's stormy and rainy! I miss you so much. When you're not at home, I miss you for a long time at night before I can fall asleep!"

Listening to her coquettishly saying these words in his ear, Lin Changqing was still angry. All that was left in his heart was warmth and soreness. This time, he simply hugged the person and went inside.

This night, the bed curtains were shaking, and the warmth was endless.

Lin Changqing woke up early the next day, while Chen Xi was still asleep. He gently kissed the top of her hair, then got up to wash up, had a few bites, and went to the front yard. By this time, the front yard was already full of people waiting.

When Chen Xi woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. She felt comfortable all over, and she didn't feel sore at all. She couldn't help but think of Lin Changqing's gentleness last night, and couldn't help but smile widely.

As soon as he came back, she suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Soon Dong Baozhen and Meng He came in to help her get up. Chen Xi asked, "Where is your general?"

"The general got up at midnight and went to the study room in the front yard. There were already many adults waiting for him!"

"Has he eaten?"

"I ate. I went to the front yard after eating."

"Well, what time is it?"

"It's three o'clock."

"Hey, there's still some time before lunch. Serve me a bowl of sour soup with rice dumplings, and serve some to your general too!"

"Yes."

In the front yard, Lin Changqing quickly took care of some things and let the people waiting for him leave, and then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the guard immediately brought a cup of soup. Lin Changqing smelled the sour smell and immediately asked: "Did your master bring it?"

The guard put down the soup and said, "Yes, when the master woke up, he first asked the general if you would like breakfast. Later, he asked for sour soup dumplings and asked the kitchen to bring you a bowl."

Lin Changqing nodded, then finished the pimple soup in a few mouthfuls, and immediately felt comfortable all over.

After the guards went down, he looked at the few people left behind, including Lord Zhizhou Ye.

"Master Ye, your wife has been so close to Tubo Xizuo recently, don't say you don't know at all!"

With one word, Mr. Zhou Ye was frightened and his legs went weak and he knelt down immediately.
