Husband is a soft girl

The next day, Xiao Xing went to the cellar to deliver meals as usual. When she saw the housekeeper Zhang who was lying on the ground and the mess all over the floor, she frowned, sniffed, and turned back helplessly. First, she went to the main room to talk to Ruan Xuan and Xu Yuning. Regarding this matter, "Butler Zhang is dead."

Xu Yuning was stunned, Ruan Xuan's eyes widened, but he was the one who reacted first, "It's all my fault, he has been in poor health..."

"Don't say that." Xu Yuning put his arms around Ruan Xuan and said softly, "You don't want to do that either."

Ruan Xuan bit his lips and remained silent.

The clumsy mouth didn't know how to comfort him, Xu Yuning was afraid that talking too much would make Ruan Xuan even more sad, so he shook his head and went out, intending to hug Dou Zi to heal Ruan Xuan.

Xiaoxing didn't leave in a hurry, she kept looking at Ruan Xuan, "Why?"

"Huh?" Ruan Xuan raised his head, trembling at Xiao Xing's understanding expression, feeling uncomfortable in his heart:

She couldn't get rid of the relationship with Steward Zhang's death.

Ruan Xuan, who couldn't sleep last night, got up to blow the night breeze, and his numb mind suddenly became brighter.She thought about it carefully, butler Zhang was a more ruthless person than anyone else. In order to come to the Ruan family to work, he would even ignore his children, and ended up alone.Now, Steward Zhang does not want wages or freedom, but only wants her mother to go down the mountain. His stubbornness is increasing day by day, and he may have reached the point of madness.

After finally resigning from office, Ruan Xuan had had enough of pretending to be a man, and was more eager than Xu Yuning to leave here and get rid of all this.

She didn't want to sit still and let the bright future slip away.

She began to think of ways.

Ruan Xuan knows better than anyone how bad Steward Zhang's health has been in recent years.She recalled that in the past, Steward Zhang was so powerless that Aunt Liu took advantage of the loopholes to take control of the Ruan family's power, but she still took pains to repeat Aunt Liu's words. Obviously, when the other servants left, Steward Zhang could not take care of the Ruan family alone. , but still smiling, went to the county government office and said to her, "Everything is fine."

Butler Zhang is now a fragile old man who is desperately supporting himself.

Ruan Xuan decided to give it a try, and kept provoking the butler with some words. Sure enough, Butler Zhang fell ill and went mad in the cellar with his frail body.

She heard it, sat outside unmoved, and waited until everything quieted down before returning to the room.

Without anyone to take care of him, Steward Zhang couldn't hold on in the cold and damp cellar and died.

"I can't help it," Ruan Xuan said truthfully, "Only in this way can I be at peace in the future."

Xiao Xing raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "I mean, why did you hide it from Xu Yuning?"

Speaking of Xu Yuning, Ruan Xuan inexplicably developed some courage and stood up to face Xiao Xing.

"Comparing your heart to your heart." She said with sharp eyes, "Do you dare to tell Xiaoxiang that you have done everything?"

Xiao Xing was stunned for a rare moment, then smiled after a while, "Yes."

Just in time, Xu Yuning came back with Xiao Xiang holding Dou Zi, frowning, "Ruan Xuan, when I hug Dou Zi, what should I do?"

"Huh?" How could Ruan Xuan not know what Xu Yuning was thinking, and walked over with a smile and reached out his hand, "Let me see."

Xiaoxiang glanced at Xu Yuning, and gently handed the beans over.

After firmly connecting it, Ruan Xuan hugged Douzi in his arms and watched silently. His trembling fingertips were warmed before he dared to lightly touch his fidgety little hands. The squeak was afraid of scaring the beans.

In an instant, she forgot about the cold cellar and the hysterical face of the housekeeper, her eyes were full of the child's bright smile.

"After finishing housekeeper Zhang's affairs..." Ruan Xuan glanced at them, finally fixed his gaze on Xu Yuning and said softly, "Let's move."

Xu Yuning understood, "It's a funeral, do you want a rich funeral?"

"Let's talk about it." Ruan Xuan didn't dare to look at Douzi, with a bit of shame on his face, "I have to put on a show."

As soon as the day dawned, it was heard outside that the butler Zhang of Ruan Xuan's family went to the cellar to get wine and accidentally dropped it. ah!"

In front of the gate of the Ruan family, Ruan Xuan looked so anxious to the doctor he had finally hired, and kept saying, "Butler Zhang is motionless, no matter how much I push or howl..."

"Don't worry," the doctor frowned, "where is he?"

"As for the cellar, yesterday he said he wanted to drink to his heart's content. I couldn't persuade him. I saw him lying on the ground this morning, and his breath was gone..."

Speaking of this, Ruan Xuan lowered his head and squeezed his hands, feeling extremely at a loss.

Knowing that Ruan Xuan had seen a lot of things when he was a county magistrate, the doctor was not surprised that Ruan Xuan was so scared, but felt sympathetic. After it happened, I couldn't even hide my panic.

As they talked, when they reached the cellar, there were broken porcelain pieces everywhere, and there were burnt marks on the candlesticks. The doctor smelled the smell of alcohol on Butler Zhang, shook his head, and shook even worse after feeling his pulse, "Mr. Ruan, he has Let's go, forget it."

"How...how is it possible." Ruan Xuan has been an official for so long, no matter how soft he is inside the room, he can hold on outside, his emotions are hidden, his face is full of acting, and he immediately put on a look of grief.

The doctor couldn't bear to look at this appearance, and said again, "Your condolences will change."

"Doctor, take another look." Ruan Xuan's eyes turned red.

The doctor waved his hand, "The dead cannot be brought back to life, no matter how I look at it, it is useless."

Ruan Xuan froze on the spot, Xiao Xing who was next to him saw her, and gave the doctor money for a visit, "Doctor, I'm sorry to trouble you, this way please, I'll take you out."

The doctor stroked his beard, looked at Ruan Xuan's trembling back, sighed, and left.

After seeing off people, Xiao Xing rolled her eyes when she came back to see Ruan Xuan still in the same state, "Are you still acting?"

"Huh..." Ruan Xuan pursed his lips, "Who knows if he will come back again."

"No, that big mouth must be busy spreading news." Xiao Xing sneered.

Ruan Xuan nodded, "The outpatient fee is worth it."

"The next step is to bury it properly." Xiao Xing took the initiative, "I'll do it."

Feeling touched for a while, Ruan Xuan's voice trembled, "Xiao Xing, thank you..."

Xiao Xing interrupted Ruan Xuan, "No need, it's justified if you're too painful to stay out."

"..."

Xiao Xingshi left abruptly, Ruan Xuan turned to look at Butler Zhang's corpse, not daring to speak, let alone think carefully, walked slowly back to the house step by step.

-

Xiao Xing took care of Butler Zhang's funeral, and Ruan Xuan only had to pretend to be sad at home.

It's not pretending either.

"It's all over." Xu Yuning held Ruan Xuan's hand and comforted him tirelessly.

Ruan Xuan shook his hand and smiled, "I know, I was wondering where to go."

"Yeah, we're moving." Xu Yuning became interested, "Where did you think of?"

Frowning in distress, Ruan Xuan told her one by one, "I want to go to a small place, but I'm afraid it's not peaceful there, a big state capital... and it's too easy to be discovered, Yunning, what do you think? "

"It's easy," Xu Yuning's eyes lit up, "Let's find a mountain to live in seclusion."

"Reclusive?" Ruan Xuan was stunned.

Xu Yuning had thought about this a long time ago, and he talked endlessly, "Think about it, where is it not for a living, there is no difference between living in the city and living in the mountains, we can't buy vegetables, we grow , can’t buy meat, we hunt, and absolutely no one will disturb us.”

Hearing this for a while, Ruan Xuan finally asked dryly, "I said in case, I definitely didn't curse myself... What if we are sick?"

"Look!" Xu Yuning said indifferently, "We can get in, can't we get out?"

Amused by Xu Yuning's casual and relaxed tone, Ruan Xuan shook his head, "It's true that I think too much."

"How?" Xu Yuning saw that he was moved, and asked, "Is this a good idea?"

Ruan Xuan didn't nod or shake his head, just said, "You have to ask Xiao Xing and Xiao Xiang if they are willing?"

"Then I'll ask now." Xu Yuning trotted out as he spoke, and soon pulled Xiao Xiang over, "Xiao Xing is taking care of the child, so ask her first."

Xiao Xiang was stunned, "What are you asking?"

"Would you like to live in the mountains with us?" Xu Yuning asked to help.

Xiaoxiang blinked, "What mountain? Are there bandits? Are there worms? Are there snakes? Is it high or not? How long will it take to climb? Will there be falling rocks?"

A series of questions hit her face, Xu Yuning didn't know how to answer, so she turned to Ruan Xuan for help.

Ruan Xuan shrugged, "I can't answer either."

"Young Mistress, you didn't even think about it, and asked me what to do." Xiaoxiang complained, "I won't tell you, I'll go and see Xiao Xing, she doesn't know how to take care of children."

Before Xiao Xiang turned around, Xiao Xing appeared at the door, holding Dou Zi in her hand, her expression was not good, "Who won't take care of children anymore?"

"You! Otherwise, why would you follow?" Xiaoxiang didn't let her face out.

Xiao Xing snorted softly, and couldn't wait to give out the beans in her arms.

"Xiao Xing, I know you are very powerful." Xu Yuning didn't let it go, "How about we go live in the mountains."

Compared to Xiao Xiang who thinks about this and that, Xiao Xing is very straightforward, "Okay."

"Great!" Xu Yuning clapped his hands and turned to Xiaoxiang, "Hey, she's gone, and you can't escape."

Xiaoxiang blushed, "I know, but where are you going?"

The four of them looked at each other and were silent for a while. Xiao Xing spoke first, "Badanshan."

The name sounded familiar, Ruan Xuan thought about it for a while, remembered where he saw this mountain, and immediately became unhappy, "Xiao Xing, the scenery there is beautiful, but the terrain is complicated and it is close to the official road, and there are many bandits haunting it. "

After hearing this, Xiao Xing actually laughed.

"Xiao Xing..." Ruan Xuan thought that Xiao Xing didn't care, and said carefully, "Understand the truth that two fists can't defeat four hands, no matter how powerful you are, you can still face a nest of bandits..."

Xiao Xing interrupted the sentence, "I'm joking."

Suddenly, the house was like a cold wind, and even the beans were silent and humming.

"Hehe." Xu Yuning didn't hold back, and rolled his eyes, "It's really interesting."

Xiao Xing ignored her and continued, "I have a place to go. No one will bother me at all. The beautiful mountains and rivers are good for peace and quiet. But, one of my friends has already stayed. I wonder if you would like it."

"What are you afraid of!" Xu Yuning was happy instead, "There are friends around, so it's easy to take care of me."

Xiaoxiang was also in high spirits, but Ruan Xuan didn't smile, "Who is your friend?"

Xiao Xing glanced at them, and said, "One... a criminal committed by the imperial court."
