What's wrong with my mother adding special effects to my wife?

Half a month has passed since the Yuan Ye commendation event, and besides the fine sand and loess under the hooves of the Yuhua Cong, there are finally a few sporadic spring flowers.The more you go south, the stronger the feeling of spring, but for Xu Chuilu, the feeling of spring is equivalent to sleepiness. The sun is not the force of life that urges all things to flourish, but the thin quilt and soft pillow that urges people to close their eyes and take a nap. Penetrating the bone, brushing the tip of the nose——

Ahhh.

Xu Chuilu inhaled a mouthful of cat fur and sneezed violently.Her leg lightened, and she woke up suddenly, and found that it was Jieyu in her arms who suddenly jumped up and burrowed into the gap between her arms.

This was the startled reaction when she heard the neighing of the horse while parking the car. She smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand skillfully to comfort her, and asked softly, "Are you going into town?"

"Well, the guards here are ordered to check the passers-by. If they want to enter the city, I'm afraid they will have to wait for a while." Xiao Fang said lightly, twirling a white hair that fell on his lap.

Xu Cuilu heard the noise outside, raised the curtain, looked out a few times, and said, "It seems that many warriors entered the city because of 'Wu Que'?"

"Baishimen is stationed in Pucheng. When they came back from Xiyong, they naturally brought the news with them."

"That news..."

They walked smoothly, but left a trouble for Lianyi, Wuque's reappearance needs an explanation, Xiao Fangdao didn't explain, only Lianyi can explain.

Xu Chuilu originally thought that according to Ye Yao's temperament, she would find a more reasonable explanation, for example, Wuque had already been leaked, He Cheng had received a fragmented testimonial, what happened in the arena was arranged in advance, Wuque was not Wuque, and so on.However, along the way, the least absurd rumor that Xu Chuilu heard was actually...

Lou Yuge's ghost is attached to the body of the raccoon slave and travels around, just to avenge the various sects that besieged him at that time, but because of his limited "magic power", he cannot act on living things, and can only use Wuque's power to control his weapons In this way, the soldiers will gain supernatural power and their murderousness will increase greatly. Wherever they go, it will be like Lou Yuge coming in person, and it will become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

At first, this rumor made people panic, and those disciples who participated in the marriage recruitment were also sent back to the sect and kept under strict guard; but not long after, all the sects staying in Xiyong discovered that there were disciples raising raccoon slaves privately in their sects, although they were afraid of Lou Yu. Ge, but they can't help but yearn for this power in their hearts. Even the illusory theory of remnant souls has attracted many people to follow suit; There are both private collectors and resellers. As for those who can’t afford it, most of them will take a cat back and wait for the “ghost trace” to come; later, there are even unknown cat dealers who brought Lou Yuge’s portrait to prove it My own raccoon slave is similar to it, saying that with this cat in hand, it will definitely attract its soul to get close... Even though the result of the marriage recruitment has clearly shown that "Wu Que" can't bring any real benefits to people, but I believe There are still a large number of warriors with magical powers.

They traveled along the way, and the rumors they heard were updated every day, and they were no longer under the control of the Suppressing Mind or the Unfeeling Sect.

The driver was negotiating with the guards outside the car. After a while, the car door opened, and a black-faced man looked inside the car. Seeing that there were a few gangsters in the car, he let them go without checking. When he left, he muttered in his mouth, "Why are there cats everywhere, and they are stronger than people".

Several people looked at Xu Chuilu.

Xu Chuilu innocently squeezed out the words: I can't blame me, how can I blame me for having a mouth on it, if I want to blame it, I can only blame the "mother" who set the attribute of being delicious and lazy.

Yes, after realizing that Xie Yu had a special reaction to Lou Yuge's name, Xu Chuilu verified her conjecture in private. Xie Yu not only knew Lou Yuge, but also responded to the name "Moonlight"—that's a good friend The cat's name.Therefore, Xie Yu was born in response to the wishes of his friends. It has the qualities expected by friends: well-behaved, docile, smart... Moreover, it must have had some intersection with Lou Yuge, but after Lou Yuge's death, it It can also survive to this day by relying on the aura left by its friends, and even luckily moved to its side.

Xu Chuilu has been spending more and more time with Jieyu recently. Apart from seeing cats and friends, she also wants to prove her meaning—she is a high-quality human being favored by cats. How can anyone not like it? It must be Xiao Fangdao has a problem!

Thinking of this, the lazy bones that had been exposed to the spring sun twitched restlessly, she moved aside with Xie Yu in her arms, leaving a distance of more than one person between Xiao Fangdao.

Regarding this, Fengfu, Shuilian, and Xuanjian: "?"

Xiao Fangdao: "..."

She occasionally noticed Xu Chuilu's resentment, but it was fruitless to think about it, and it was fruitless to ask, so she could only put it aside for now.

"There were a lot of disciples on the return journey. Although a group of disciples had been sent back to the sect on horseback first, many of them still stayed with us. The motorcade was too long, so the speed inevitably slowed down. It's normal for Miss Xu to feel tired." Shui Lian Trying to rationalize Xu Chuilu's abrupt behavior.

"I'm not tired, I'm just—"

I just want to stay away from this woman who thanked me with a lantern!

However, she took a deep breath and gently continued what she said just now: "I'm a little hungry."

After saying that, she leaned over to Xuanjian and asked, "What shall we eat later?"

Xuan Jian was startled, and thought nervously: Sister Xu is not very happy today, and the ordinary food may not satisfy her.She carefully counted the special dishes she had cooked in her mind, and suddenly remembered that the Lantern Festival she made for He Zhiyou that night in Shangyuan had been highly praised by the other party, and also thought that Xu Chuilu had always liked sweets, so she gave the answer with confidence.

"Yuanxiao."

Xu Chuilu was silent.Just two words brought her back to that dark and cruel night again: when she didn't know how to respond to Xiao Fangdao's words, she raised her arms stiffly and gave him a hug—similarly, like a podium A grateful hug from the honoree to the presenter.

Finally, she gave Xuanjian an unyielding and miserable smile: "No Lantern Festival."

……

[Host, you have been for a long time...]

[The remaining 0.1%, I already know what to do.Just because I can do it anytime, there is no rush and you don't have to rush me. 】

[If you really don't worry about it, the quality of your night's sleep won't be worse, you're taking naps during the day, and it's not just because of the weather, is it? ]

[Don't speculate on my thoughts. 】

[For what Xiao Fangdao said, you are not dissatisfied, but uneasy.Even I can clearly feel Xiao Fangdao's feelings for you. The only reason why she doesn't reveal her love to you is that she knows that she doesn't have much time, so she doesn't want this feeling to be a burden to you .You are well aware of this too. ]

【…】

[However, I don't think you need to worry, the system rewards can satisfactorily solve this problem.Why don't you end this anxiety earlier and welcome your own happiness? ]

[This is not a simple decision, you cannot understand it. 】

[Okay, I do have a lot of deficiencies in this area.But I sincerely hope you will be happy. ]

[After returning to the sect, I will practice my ideas. After all, I can't stand that damn progress bar more than you. 】

……

The day the carriage drove into Chisong Town was the first day of March in Yangchun.This journey, which can be called long enough, will come to an end in this season when the grass grows and the warblers fly.Xu Chuilu's eyes reflected the familiar city scene, ridges, clouds, low houses, streets, shops, signposts, they spread out in a clear and orderly manner. " on the bronze plaque.

Because of Yu Zhongsu's entrustment, she and Xiao Fangdao got out of the carriage ahead of time, and ordered the rest of the disciples to continue on their way, leaving only one black unicorn for them to drive.

Seeing the visitor for the first time, the emotions in Ruan Xunxiang's eyes changed sharply and violently—surprised first, then happy, happy then angry.

"Xiao...Xiao Fangdao, you still know how to come back? It's just in time, and I'm worried that I have nothing to say!"

As she spoke, she pulled people into the room, but her strength was too much to use, and she just ripped the cloth a little.

Xiao Fangdao and Xu Chuilu looked at each other, and let her guide them into the house.

Ruan Xunxiang's face was extremely angry, but her hands were still ordering her servants to prepare preserved fruit tea. She rubbed her wrists, and then took off the two dangling pacifiers from her temples, and put them on the table, full of imposing manner. : "Sect Master Xiao, what about Yu Zhongsu, are you not honest?"

Xiao Fangdao was not polite to her, he sat on the armchair and replied leisurely: "You have also heard about the things about Xiyong?"

"Are you afraid that I will know? Back then I spent a lot of money to 'redeem' from the Unfeeling Sect. How can he get away without repaying his martial arts?" She raised her eyebrows and was very dissatisfied. Convince the public?"

"How do you know he didn't pay the price?"

Ruan Xunxiang paused, frowned and said, "You mean he helped you... Could it be that he was injured?"

Xu Chuilu felt strange, what Ruan Xunxiang paid was the unequal price they paid for leaving the sect, and he "lost", instead of being angry at the two people's concealment?And although her words were fierce, there was an obvious concern for Yu Zhongsu in her words.

Xiao put the knife on the tea and drank it himself: "No."

Ruan Xunxiang's complexion softened slightly.

The fragrance of tea was overflowing, Xiao Fangdao raised his eyes and glanced at her: "This is not what you are worried about, if there is something, why not speak up."

This means we can continue talking.Ruan Xunxiang waved her sleeves and screened off the attendants, and sat opposite Xiao Fangdao, she was about to speak, but then looked at Xu Chuilu, a little hesitant.

"Finish." Xiao Fangdao confirmed.

"Then I'll just say it straight, put the knife, I can't explain to the people below you who have made such a big fuss." She stared at the bright red cherries on the plate, "The business of the two companies is managed by the two of us." The person who took the lead in cooperating, I can trust him because of that level of kindness and righteousness. He needs to be a hero when he walks in the rivers and lakes. Now that he has lied to such an important matter, others say that I will hate this person. I communicated, but I didn’t respond, the people below couldn’t figure out my thoughts, and didn’t know how to deal with the Hengyu Escort, although the work was still done step by step, they became cautious and alienated in their hearts.”

"They want you to take a stand?"

"Yes, but Yu Zhongsu hasn't come back for a long time. Can I say 'I will trust him no matter what happens'? Well, I'm just his friend, not his little daughter-in-law raised in Chisong. It would be disgusting."

Ruan Xunxiang's cheeks turned red, she was annoyed but not ashamed.

Xu Chuilu seems to have realized something.

According to the rumors, the two got married because Yu Zhongsu escorted Ruan Xunxiang away from the sect, and Xiao Fangdao abolished his martial arts, which made Ruan Xunxiang very admired. Helping each other out of righteousness, but in the eyes of Ruan Xunxiang's people...he has completely become a hypocrite who gained the trust of his shopkeeper by selling miserably. Ruan Xunxiang has been deceived for nothing in the past few years.

It's really troublesome.

Xu Chuilu was worried, but Xiao Fangdao said to himself: "It's better to push the boat along with the current and get married directly."

"You—" Ruan Xunxiang couldn't believe that this was Xiao Fangdao's proposal, and couldn't help shouting angrily, "Who wants to marry him!"

Xiao Fangdao raised his eyes and said: "You said that you want to cooperate with him, but now the status of a friend is not enough, so you have to change it. 'Married as husband and wife, love and affection are not doubted', isn't this the most stable alliance? Anyway, neither of you has any intentions, and outsiders don't care about what happens in private, as long as you make good use of this name, that's enough."

"..."

"I know you have no intention of getting married. You want to keep this bargaining chip and use it at the most important point." Xiao Fangdao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You put this matter aside, because you don't like her?"

Ruan Xunxiang couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You said it so lightly, if you didn't know, you thought it was a sister who married into a high family who came to give me advice. You haven't married yourself, so why—"

"I'm married." Xiao Fangdao followed suit.

"What... what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Fangdao looked at Xu Chuilu, and Ruan Xunxiang also looked at him in a daze.

Xu Chuilu, who received the hint, could only echo in a low voice in embarrassment: "It's true, the suzerain is already married."

"When did it happen? With whom?"

"...Three months ago, with me."

Ruan Xunxiang was stunned for a moment, then giggled cooperatively: "Ah, is it? Then I really want to congratulate this 'Mr. He'."

Xu Cuilu blinked and took a moment to understand what Ruan Xunxiang meant.

Did she think she was telling some bad joke?

Ruan Xunxiang smiled endlessly.

"Hahaha, Miss Xu is really good at joking, why didn't I find you so funny before?"

"Uh, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Hey, you..."

Ruan Xunxiang's voice gradually became quieter and her expression gradually frightened. Under the gaze of two scorching eyes, she began to struggle to squeeze out some words that she did not want to believe or utter.

"Is...and...with you?!"

Xu Chuilu glanced at Xiao Fangdao complainingly: You see, you are fine, why do you say this to scare people!

Xiao Fangdao didn't explain, and continued the topic just now: "It's not a solution for the two of you to delay things, really don't consider my proposal?"

Talking about herself, Ruan Xunxiang finally regained some sanity.

"Not yet. I haven't... and besides, he's not good enough for me."

Xiao Fangdao knew that these were all excuses.Ruan Xunxiang is by no means an indecisive person. If there is only a friendship between the two of them, she has no need to hesitate. If the two people are sincere, she will definitely make a decisive decision. The complicated situation made her hesitate.

Perhaps, Ruan Xunxiang thought that the good time was the day when Yu Zhongsu really fell in love with her, but she should also know that the reason why Yu Zhongsu was Yu Zhongsu was because he couldn't be infatuated with her like other men.His years of hiding his own martial arts are enough to prove this point.

Xiao Fangdao didn't insist anymore, he just said: "Okay. It's a pity that I can't help you with your business. At most, I will help you kill those people who cause trouble."

Ruan Xunxiang raised her eyebrows, and was not in a hurry to answer. Her eyes wandered around the two people opposite her, and she suddenly put her chin on her cheek and smiled: "Let Sect Master Xiao, who just came back from the gate of hell, kill someone for me, even if I'm willing, some people will Not necessarily willing to do it?"

Xu Chuilu was slightly startled: You accepted it so quickly, Miss Ruan!Is this the social master?

Xiao Fangdao went down the slope and replied: "Since this is the case, I really have no other way to make up for it. Give you the things, and we will return to the clan."

"Things?" She resumed her usual attitude of ease, and pretended to expect, "Could it be that you sent a knife to Xiyong and brought me a gift?"

Xu Chuilu took out the wooden box: "It is indeed from Xiyong, but it was entrusted to me by the head of escort Yu."

Ruan Xunxiang held the light and exquisite wooden box and opened it without hesitation.She twisted the "gift" that was presented to her eyes from thousands of miles away - a piece of cloth.Ordinary coarse cloth, inconspicuous blue-gray, and old and wrinkled.Even if this kind of material is used as a rag in Xiangfeng Pavilion, it is very inappropriate, let alone as a gift for the shopkeeper.

The other two were also puzzled.

Only Ruan Xunxiang knew what it was.It was the turban on the head of the coachman who kidnapped him that day.

It turned out that Yu Zhongsu had long been suspicious of what happened that day. Although he couldn't find the main messenger for a while, he never gave up investigating the reason why the coachman violently robbed people. In the end, he got the answer: it was just a scene planned by Ruan Xunxiang himself. Temptation with ulterior motives.

If someone else sent such a thing, she would definitely regard it as a warning, just like the bead that Xiao Fangdao sent Xu Chuilu to send back.But Yu Zhongsu is definitely not threatening her, his meaning has been clearly written on this plain old cloth - I understand you.

She believed that if the matter of inner power had not been exposed, he would not have given this piece of cloth to her.

Yu Zhongsu didn't feel guilty about this concealment, because he knew that they concealed each other equally.

They are the ones who are most willing to trust each other and the ones who will never do that.

they are the same.

This is the comfort Yu Zhongsu gave her.

Ruan Xunxiang's slender five fingers slowly rubbed the old cloth, as tenderly as if she was stroking a lover's face, and then she gently threw it away.

"Miss Xu, it's really hard for you to carry this stupid box all the way." She held Xu Chuilu's hand, "Come with me, and I'll give you something too."

"it is good."

Although he didn't know what the deep meaning of the gift was, Ruan Xunxiang was indeed happier than before.

Xu Chuilu was led into the room behind the curtain by the other party, Ruan Xunxiang relaxed as soon as she walked out of Xiao Fangdao's sight, she took a jade pendant and handed it to Xu Chuilu.

"Take it."

Xu Chuilu carefully held the jade that looked expensive, and said doubtfully, "This is..."

"Don't worry, it's not worth much by itself." Ruan Xunxiang lowered her voice mysteriously, "But as long as you take it, go to any shop of the Ruan Family Business Gang, and someone will help you."

"That can't be done, I can't bear such an expensive price." Xu Chuilu shook his head repeatedly, firmly resigning.

Ruan Xunxiang held her hand tightly and said, "You must accept it."

Xu Chuilu frowned helplessly: "Can I ask...why?"

She said empathetically but resolutely: "You are alone and helpless, and there is nothing you can do to be coerced by others. But you must not just live like a walking dead. In the future, whenever you have the opportunity, you must try to make your own Choose, when you leave Chisong, you will definitely need it.”

Xu Chuilu was stunned.

Ruan Xunxiang means that she has been persecuted by Xiao Fangdao?

Suddenly, she became a miserable heroine who was in dire straits and desperately needed to be rescued!

"Actually, I probably won't leave the Heartless Sect." She tried to explain euphemistically.

"I understand. Now is indeed not a good time, but you are still young, as long as you remember what I said today, be patient for a while longer, and treat her..." Ruan Xunxiang cautiously said in a very small voice, "Treat her badly." When it’s that tight, you can find a way out.”

……

Xu Chuilu understood.

What she wanted to say was - run away.
