Husband is a soft girl

Seeing Ruan Xuan's cheeks flushed with shame, Xu Yuning understood - just now she and Ruan Xuan were stuck together while talking, but she didn't make a sound, it was Ruan Xuan who spoke, her voice was sweet and soft. water.When Lao Qiu outside saw overlapping figures and heard the sturdy wife of the county magistrate becoming coquettish in the room, he immediately thought that "the young couple is doing business" and ran away in a sensible way.

"It's nothing." Xu Yuning comforted Ruan Xuan, "We are justified and closed the door, can others control it?"

Ruan Xuan bowed his head, avoiding her touch with one side of his body, "But... I will be very embarrassed to see Lao Qiu..."

This is true.

Recalling Lao Qiu's flustered voice and steps, Xu Yuning shook his head and sighed: No matter how strong and powerful he looks, no matter how informal he is, Lao Qiu is still a conservative person. Be overwhelmed.

However, will Lao Qiu's dark cheeks become as hot and red as the little soft girl?

Thinking about it, Xu Yuning couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing Ruan Xuan's aggrieved gaze, "It's all your fault if you still laugh."

"Ouch." Xu Yuning spread his hands, "Okay, blame me, I'll explain to Lao Qiu."

Ruan Xuan was in a hurry, and grabbed her all of a sudden, "Don't, how can I let you do this kind of thing, I am your husband..."

"Oh, it seems to be." Xu Yuning stroked his chin.

It is not easy for Ruan Xuan to change his views on same-sex relationships and be eaten obediently. Xu Yuning has no intention of persuading Ruan Xuan to let go of the strange "husband burden". The county magistrate's wife is too out of place.

Seeing her obedience, Ruan Xuan suddenly made up his mind, "Yes, I can't escape like this, so I'll go and ask Lao Qiu what he wants from me. If we delay for a long time, he will think that we are...in..."

When it came to the important point, the shy little soft girl was stuck, blushing and couldn't finish a sentence, she simply stopped talking, got up, straightened her clothes and walked to the door, "I'm going."

"Can I go?" Xu Yuning was unwilling to be left in the room.

Ruan Xuan pursed his lips, "I'm just going to ask, and I'll be back in a while."

"No way." Xu Yuning had already seen through everything, "Old Qiu is here, I should invite you to have dinner together."

Staring wide-eyed, Ruan Xuan pointed at the tip of his nose, and asked in disbelief, "Me? The one who said he would not give face if he didn't drink?"

Is it really okay for you to be so honest with yourself?

Unable to help laughing, Xu Yuning pointed to the direction of the door and teased Ruan Xuan, "Hurry up, Lao Qiu will change his mind later."

In his heart, Ruan Xuan still regretted rejecting Lao Qiu's invitation at the beginning, hoping to become friends with Lao Qiu, he believed any nonsense, hurriedly answered "yes", turned around and opened the door, and trotted away.

The hurried footsteps sounded for a few steps, and then stopped.

Surprised, Xu Yuning followed to the door to see what was going on.The yard in the back hall was not big, and she could see all the lights in the room and the light of the moon just by raising her eyes. She saw Ruan Xuan staying at the side, and standing in the opposite corridor was the shocked old Qiu.

"Your Excellency, Madam." Old Qiu spoke first, "Everyone asked me to invite you to dinner together."

really.

Ruan Xuan looked back at Xu Yuning in a daze, and Xu Yuning cast a smug look.This flirting made Lao Qiu feel very embarrassed, thinking that it was a good thing for the two of them.Coughing uncomfortably, "They said, if I can't invite you, I won't have anything to eat."

Who dares not to feed the prison?

Both Xu Yuning and Ruan Xuan knew in their hearts that Lao Qiu was euphemistically saying "I want to invite them", but Lao Qiu seemed to be a face-saving person. Since he said it around the corner, they didn't expose it, and nodded in unison, " good!"

There are not many people in the county yamen, and they eat at the big table in the conference room in the front hall. The elusive clerk who always appears there also appears there, taking a glass of wine and drinking slowly. Guang, seeing them coming, said loudly, "Master Ruan is here~"

"Really? Then my pot of fish can be served." At this moment, a hearty female voice sounded.

Xu Yuning followed the prestige, and what he saw was a kind-hearted woman, not young but full of energy, with a very amiable smile.When others treated each other friendly, Xu Yuning would not make a bad face, so he smiled, and Ruan Xuan beside him exclaimed, "Sister-in-law Qiu, you are here too!"

"Yes." Sister-in-law Qiu replied, "Old Qiu is clumsy, without me, your table would be empty."

Everyone roared with laughter, and in the midst of excitement, Catcher Zheng led them to sit, with fish soup on the left and roast chicken on the right.Ruan Xuan sat down without hesitation, and saw that the people in the county government were happy and harmonious like a family, with smiles on their faces, and Xu Yuning and Ruan Xuan sat next to each other, taking the soup from sister-in-law Qiu Xinsheng, which warmed his heart.

"Where are the brothers on duty in the prison?" Ruan Xuan glanced around, feeling that it would be bad for anyone to be left behind.

Zheng Butou waved his hand, "I sent a table over. There are fish, meat and no wine. If you eat well, you won't delay anything!"

Is this still a bastard catcher who carelessly drinks in the yamen?

"Okay." Ruan Xuan smiled sincerely, raised his hand and said, "Everyone sit down."

The new guy from Beixiang was disobedient, so he poured a glass of wine and stood up, saying loudly, "My name is Ge Mingyong. I'm new here, please take care of me." He frowned at the spicyness, but still smiled flatteringly, and looked around at the seniors with a wipe of his mouth.

Lao Qiu replied indifferently, and drank a glass. Zheng Butou said, "Of course, I will cover you in the future", picked up the wine jar that he had been drinking, and took a sip, while Ruan Xuan was swept away by that gaze, Ben was smiling, seeing the other two being forthright, rubbing the wine glasses with their fingers in confusion.

Xu Yuning looked anxious, and was about to explain that Ruan Xuan couldn't drink, but the old Qiu at the other end said, "Master Ruan doesn't drink, I'm his brother, let him have a drink."

Huh?brother?

Xu Yuning looked at Ruan Xuan in astonishment, and Ruan Xuan was also stunned, but not long after, a smile appeared on the corners of his pretty lips.

"Master Ruan." After drinking the wine, Lao Qiu poured another glass, stood up and held it in his hands respectfully and said to Ruan Xuan, "Before, I have been dissatisfied with you and have done so many foolish things. Don't worry about it, but save my life, this cup is my respect to you!"

Standing up in a hurry, Ruan Xuan didn't care about anything, picked up the cup and replaced the wine with tea and said, "Why be polite, I couldn't convince the public and delayed the affairs of the yamen, here I would like to say sorry to everyone."

"What are you talking about!" Zheng Butou couldn't sit still anymore, he slapped the table and stood up, "If you want to say something wrong, it's me who should be scolded! What are you two arguing about!"

"No, it's me..." Ruan Xuan argued.

Old Qiu said sharply, "You don't have to give me face, it's me!"

The three county yamen dignitaries were vying to admit their mistakes, the fat yamen servant and the newcomer Ge Zhongdong looked around and dared not say a word, and for the family group, Xu Yuning was looking at Ruan Xuan, feeling sorry for the little girl who was in the room crying and crying a moment ago. How did the soft girl become a handsome and arrogant county magistrate, sister-in-law Qiu was serving soup, and seeing that no one ate their mouths, she was annoyed, "It's okay, you are all wrong, you are not allowed to drink my soup." right?"

At the words of Mrs. Qiu, Lao Qiu took the lead in laughing, and Zheng Butou even sat down with his stomach in his hands. Ruan Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and obediently put the soup bowl in front of Xu Yuning, "Drink it."

"Okay." Xu Yuning drank the second bowl of soup indifferently.

Everyone cheered and began to eat for a while, the food and drink were warm, obviously Lao Qiu went to invite Ruan Xuan in person not long after the meal.They ate happily, and closed the doors and windows tightly. The room was filled with the sound of Zheng Butou and the two yamen servants punching wine, and no movement outside could be heard.

"what!"

A scream resounded through the sky above the county government office, and reached their ears through the thick door panel.

"what sound!"

Lao Qiu was not drunk, so he immediately picked up the long knife placed by the table and followed the sound. Catcher Zheng shook his head and sobered up a lot, and followed with a weapon.Ruan Xuan and Xu Yuning were far away from the door, but they reacted quickly. They put down their chopsticks and ran towards the sound.

But after that scream, there was no more sound, and everyone rushed to the back hall not knowing where to find it, so they had to hold their breath and listen carefully for some movement.Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the kitchen, and Lao Qiu reacted the fastest, striding over the guardrail and taking a shortcut.

After Lao Qiu yelled "what are you doing", they also happened to arrive at the door of the kitchen.

"What's going on?" Ruan Xuan stared blankly at the person who was pressed against the wall by Lao Qiu, and Xiao Xing who was clamoring for a broom next to him.

Xiao Xing patted her chest slowly, pointed at the man and said, "She sneaked into the house and wanted to steal something."

Under their noses, the door was closed well, how could someone break in?

Ruan Xuan's complexion sank, and then he looked at the figure who was pinned against the wall and couldn't move. She was slender and thin like a woman. She didn't tremble when she was caught, but panted lightly. She was not dressed like a common snitch, wearing a skirt and braids , with a simple and elegantly carved wooden hairpin inserted into it.

The thief is also dressed like that?

Thinking that this thief is not just a scourge, Ruan Xuan shook his head and told Lao Qiu, "Don't hold her back, bring her here and let me interrogate her."

Lao Qiu listened to the order and pulled him up to let the little thief show his face to them.

Ruan Xuan was dumbfounded when he saw it, "You..."

Xu Yuning was surprised, and recognized that this was the girl from the Ruan Mansion, Xiao Xiang, the only servant who was kind to her, "Xiao Xiang! Let go, this is not a thief."

"Water..." Xiaoxiang was freed, and instead of explaining, she said in a hoarse voice.

The voice was unbelievably hoarse, and Xu Yuning immediately understood why Xiaoxiang didn't say a word before, and hurriedly took the water and handed it over.Xiaoxiang took it, and gulped down several mouthfuls. Her sleeves slipped off and her arms were skinny, and her usual round and tender cheeks were sunken and dirty.

After drinking the water, Xiaoxiang wiped her mouth, and explained aggrievedly, "I'm not a thief, I took the house key to open the door and come in."

"Why are you here?" Xu Yuning asked.

When Xiao Xiang heard this, she burst into tears, "Young Mistress, please help me, Aunt Liu is going to sell me!"
