Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Chu Haochen calmed down and took a breath before slowly walking outside.

Lu Qingqing was already walking towards the backyard worriedly. When she saw Chu Haochen walking towards him, she quickly stepped forward to take a look at him.

"you......"

Seeing her nervous look, Chu Haochen grinned. Lu Qingqing stepped forward and touched his chest. Chu Haochen's body stiffened instantly and he reached out to stop her.

"Qing'er, it's okay."

Lu Qingqing's eyes turned slightly red and she reached out to help him.

Chu Haochen reached out and touched her cheek, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her softly.

The two of them waited for a while before arriving at the front hall. At this time, many guests came forward to say goodbye and exchange final greetings.

Chu Haochen and Lu Qingqing kept smiling and nodding their heads.

At this time, Li Chengjin slowly stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Chu Haochen and Lu Qingqing, and said congratulations in a deep voice. Before leaving, he paused, then turned around again and said apologetically to Lu Qingqing:

"The county lord has been offended many times before, so he still invited the county lord to pay a large sum of money."

He raised his head and looked awkwardly at Lu Qingqing, who had no intention of paying any attention to him. He sighed helplessly, turned around and slowly followed everyone towards the outside of Zhuangzi.

After everyone had dispersed, Chu Haochen retracted his smile, turned around, looked into Lu Qingqing's eyes and raised his eyebrows:

"What did he mean just now?"

Lu Qingqing was stunned for a moment and then realized who Chu Haochen was talking about.

She pursed her lips and smiled softly, and asked angrily to an unimportant person, why was he still jealous?

Chu Haochen's eyes flickered and he stared at her quietly until Lu Qingqing gave him a helpless look.

"Okay, let me tell you, when I first came to Qizhou City, the Li family had an idea of ​​me, thinking that I was a widow and wanted their son to marry me so that they could fill the gap in the Li family."

After hearing Lu Qingqing's words, Chu Haochen's face darkened little by little, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.

"You scratched me."

He reacted immediately, let go of her hand and looked at:

"I didn't mean it Qing'er, I was just a little angry, so..."

Lu Qingqing patted his hand and coaxed softly. She had already taken revenge on this matter, so she didn't need to take it to heart anymore. She didn't care who Lu Qingqing was, and she could be bullied for nothing.

A slight smile appeared on Chu Haochen's lips, and he stretched out his hand to tuck the broken hair around her ears.

"Go back and see your grandparents."

Lu Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little frightened when she thought about her grandparents. She didn't know how to explain this matter. Chu Haochen couldn't see her worries and comforted her softly. He would be responsible for everything, so don't worry.

She looked at Chu Haochen's expression and thought he was being punished by her grandfather, so...

Little did she know that Qingli deliberately activated the mother's poison on her body today, making Chu Haochen uncomfortable. She just wanted to force Chu Haochen to make a decision.

Watching the two of them leaving together, Qingli grabbed the door rail and scratched deep scratches on it with her fingernails. The gloomy look on her face made people feel scared.

"You forced me to do this."

Qingli turned around and walked angrily towards her yard. Seeing her return, Chunqi in the yard stepped forward and saluted. Qingli didn't even find fault with her today, and pushed the door in with a sulky look on her face.

The door was closed tightly again with a "bang" sound.

A trace of doubt flashed in Chun Qi's eyes. He tilted his head and looked at it. He didn't find anything wrong, so he closed the courtyard door and went back to the room.

Qingli in the room became more and more angry as she thought about it. She took out a dark pill from her arms and stuffed it into her mouth.

After a while, she curled up on the bed. She gritted her teeth in pain, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

Chu Haochen, who had just followed Lu Qingqing to the entrance of the children's courtyard, suddenly stumbled and his face suddenly turned as white as paper.

He saw Lu Qingqing walking into the yard and found nothing unusual. He took out the poison-suppressing pills given by the miracle doctor before and stuffed them into his mouth.

When Lu Qingqing saw that he didn't follow him, she turned around in confusion and saw Chu Haochen standing at the courtyard gate with his back to her, not knowing what he was doing.

"what happened to you?"

Just as he was about to step forward to check, he was interrupted by Chu Haochen's words.

"I'm fine. Qing'er, you go first. I have to rush back to the yard to deal with some important matters. I'll go to my grandfather later to apologize."

Without waiting for Lu Qingqing to say something, he quickly walked towards Qingfengyuan, "Alas..."

Seeing his hurried steps, Lu Qingqing didn't think much, thinking that his military affairs had been delayed recently.

She withdrew her gaze, feeling anxious about how to explain it to her grandfather and the others.

Then I heard the conversation between the two elders and the nanny in the room.

She bravely pushed the door open and entered. Mrs. Lu turned her head and saw her granddaughter coming, calling her repeatedly.

"Qingqing comes over to see how similar this second treasure is to his grandfather when he was a child."

An awkward smile appeared on Lu Qingqing's lips, and she glanced at Mr. Lu who was holding Xiaobao.

"Grandma, grandpa and granddaughter will take you to settle down first, and then come and see these little guys after you have rested, right?"

Mr. Lu didn't even look at her.

Old Mrs. Lu couldn't tell what the old man was thinking. She felt sorry for her granddaughter and was angry that she didn't trust her family. She couldn't discuss anything with her family.

"Okay, okay, old man, put the kids down and they should be sleepy."

Mr. Lu said angrily "Yes" and handed the child to the nanny beside him.

"Grandpa, I..."

Mr. Lu glanced at her, said something, and then walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

Behind her, Mrs. Lu stepped forward and took her hand, with the same loving smile on her face, but there was a hint of distress in her eyes.

This made Lu Qingqing unable to hold back any longer. Suddenly, for some reason, she felt a sense of grievance in her heart. She lay in her grandmother's arms and began to cry.

Outside the courtyard, Mr. Lu was led by Xia Yun to the Lingxiao courtyard on the east side.

"My servant has just cleaned the old lady's yard. You go in and have a rest. I will order someone to bring some hot water for you and the wife to freshen up."

Mr. Lu said "hmm" in a deep voice and strode towards the room. Seeing that the furnishings in the room were just like the ones in his courtyard in the capital before, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.

He slowly came to the desk by the window and saw that the books on the table were his favorite military books. Looking at the yellowed papers, Mr. Lu knew that his granddaughter had also put his heart into it.

Looking through the military book, he had never found this military book before, but unexpectedly, Xunnu found it.

Lu Qingqing was comforted by Mrs. Lu, and her grandfather and grandson walked towards Lingxiao Courtyard hand in hand.

"You girl, you must discuss anything with your family in the future. You can't be so bold. How can you let us live if something happens?"

Lu Qingqing nodded slightly with a pair of red and swollen eyes.
