embarrassment for man and wife

Back in the lobby, the big play on the stage has been changed. As soon as Zhuohua came in, he saw the two people on the stage singing, but they sang in a melodious and long voice, which seemed to be endless Joyful and sorrowful, Zhuohua frowned slightly, returned to his original position and sat down.

Xie Qi turned to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go just now? Why did you look so strange when you came back?".

Zhuo Hua pursed his lips and smiled: "It's nothing, I just went around for a while, felt bored, so I came back." Changing the subject, Zhuo Hua looked at Jiang Biqing who was beside him: "How is sister-in-law?".

Xie Qi's eyes suddenly spoiled: "She is very good, it is rare to have such a spirit."

Zhuo Hua nodded, and stopped talking to Xie Qi, only turned to look at Hong'er and Xie Qiong at the side.

The two children were still sitting there well-behaved, and the little girl in the middle was still staring at the stage brightly, as if she could understand opera at a young age.

After watching the play, there is still a night market in Liyuan at night. Although there is no solar term now, but at night, there are always those people who are forced by life to come out to eat in the cold. Xie Qi is leading everyone After playing in the Liyuan, he wanted to take them back. He was afraid that Jiang Biqing's body would be overwhelmed and he would fall ill, but Jiang Biqing just shook her head and smiled. She looked at the daughters surrounded by Hong'er and Xie Qiong, quietly There was a smile on his face.

"It's rare to come out with you, so let's play a little longer, I'm in good health, it doesn't matter."

Xie Qi was still not at ease, so Jiang Biqing persuaded him a few more words, and the latter group continued to stay.

Zhuohua looked at them, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling, only that Xie Qi and Jiang Biqing were really a rare pair of lovers, with such a deep and untiring love, only a couple, this world really Rarely, thinking of this, Zhuo Hua couldn't help thinking of himself.

I entrusted inhumane people in my previous life, so what about this life?Where will the person who can only be a couple with me in this life be?

"Zhuohua?"

"Huh?" Someone patted his shoulder suddenly, Zhuohua turned his head but was slightly startled: "Shiro? Why are you here?".

Xie Junnan wore a hollowed-out feather crown on his head, and a black sable fur over his dark purple clothes. His starry eyes were extremely handsome. Seeing Zhuohua's obviously stunned look, Xie Junnan smiled faintly: "I just returned to the mansion, I heard from the steward that you and elder brother came out, so I came to look for you."

Xie Qi stood aside, and he joked with Xie Junnan: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a day, and Shiro ran over eagerly. Is this because he is afraid that I will kidnap and sell your family's Zhuohua?".

A joke made Zhuohua a little embarrassed to hear it.

Xie Jun Nanhun didn't care, and only bowed slightly to Xie Qi: "I'm not at the house today, so I would like to thank elder brother for taking care of Zhuohua for me."

Xie Qi smiled: "Now, I will return this person to you."

Xie Junnan cupped his hands.

Xie Qi consciously embraced Jiang Biqing and left with his little daughter.

Xie Qiong and Hong'er were stunned in place, wondering why Xie Qi didn't play with everyone anymore, but when he looked at Zhuohua and Xie Junnan, Xie Qiong rationally chose to shut up.

There were crowds of people all around, and although the night was cold, the bustle of the streets couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the crowd at all.

Zhuohua and Xie Junnan stood in place. Before he could realize that Xie Qi and Jiang Biqing had left, Xie Junnan reached out and held his hands.

"Huh?" Zhuo Hua was startled, a little embarrassed.

However, Xie Junnan took advantage of the situation and stuffed a small thing in his sleeve into Zhuo Hua's hand: "It's cold, hold this well so that your hands don't get stiff."

"This is... Mrs. Tang?"

Xie Junnan nodded, and pressed both of his hands on Mrs. Tang's head.

Zhuohua's eyelids flickered slightly, and he looked at Xie Junnan suspiciously: "You came all this way just to give me Mrs. Tang?".

Xie Junnan pursed his lips slightly and smiled: "I also came to pick you up by the way."

Zhuo Hua listened, his heart warmed up, which made him feel a little baffled at the moment.

Xie Qiong frowned and asked him: "Brother, are we going back now?".

Xie Junnan didn't say anything, he just turned his head and saw Zhuohua staring straight at him with raised eyes, even Hong'er next to him was looking at him like this, these two really deserved to be brothers, even the look of looking at him was different. are exactly the same.

Smiling, Xie Junnan said: "I'll play with you for a while, but it's not too late."

Xie Qiong and Hong'er cheered immediately, and the two little friends ran forward hand in hand, as if they were deeply afraid that Xie Junnan would go back on his word.

Zhuo Hua looked at those two people who looked like loaches, and had no chance to stop them, Xie Junnan didn't care, he just smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be guards from the mansion following them, everything will be fine ".

Zhuo Hua nodded, he didn't speak any more, he just followed Xie Junnan side by side and walked slowly on the street, not far behind them, followed by Mother Cheng and Wang Dong, and the group who specially protected Zhuo Hua. Hua's bodyguard...

"Speaking of which, didn't I see you all the time before, why are you so busy today?" Zhuohuahu asked him: "Did the court arrange a new mission for you? Are you going to go back to the army?" ?".

"If I want to go back to the army, will you miss me?".

"Think!" Zhuo Hua replied simply.

Xie Junnan's heart suddenly tensed.

Zhuohua was serious: "I wonder if you can clear up our affairs with me!".

Xie Junnan: "...".

Can... not be scary?

Seeing that he was silent, Zhuohua felt that he was in a good mood, he smiled, and walked forward quickly.

Xie Junnan shook his head slightly, sighed lightly and quickly followed up.

The night market in the capital city is very lively, so the level of city brain is not inferior to that of Taocheng's market, and there are not only many things in the night market, but also a lot of food. Zhuohua looked at them one by one, eating tea eggs all the way, Candied haws, tried stinky tofu, light shortbread, and drank a bowl of hawthorn tea!The little belly has been swollen from eating.

Xie Junnan saw him rubbing his stomach and hiccupping, his face was full of unstoppable smiles: "Looking at the way you have eaten all the way, if I didn't know you, I'm afraid I would really think that you are pregnant. That’s why I suddenly had an appetite.”

Zhuohua's face turned red slightly, and he hiccupped loudly again, before saying, "Actually, I didn't eat much this time, when I was with Lianying last time, I ate with him all the way."

"All the way?" Xie Junnan raised his eyebrows.

Zhuo Hua nodded: "That's right, before I married you, when I met him for the first time, I ate with him from Zhaoyang Street to the gate of Changyang Street."

Xie Junnan was speechless secretly: "It's at least half an hour's journey from Zhaoyang Street to Changyang Street. The two of you... actually ate together?".

Zhuohua honestly confessed: "Yeah, just his oilcloth bag, which was full of food, when he left, I saw that the oilcloth bag was empty, but he still came out of it. And took out the shortbread again."

"Why did you go to Zhaoyang Street?" Xie Junnan seemed to realize something, and frowned slightly at the moment: "The section of Zhaoyang Street is a bit chaotic, although the area is under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion, it is even more dangerous because of that. people are there."

Zhuo Hua was stunned: "Over there...is it so unsafe?".

Xie Junnan nodded.

Zhuo Hua stretched out his finger in a daze: "I just... just thought that it was cold, and my second brother and Hong'er didn't have any clothes to keep out the cold, so I asked someone to go to the clothing store over there to give my second brother I ordered two padded jackets with Hong'er, but when I came out, my purse was robbed, and when I chased them, they stopped me in the alley..." For some reason, Zhuo Hua's words followed Xie Junnan's eyes became more and more gloomy, but he also lacked confidence, which made him subconsciously step back.

Xie Junnan stretched out his hand to grab it, clasped Zhuohua's waist, and brought him forward again: "From now on, if there are no guards to follow, you will not be allowed to go to Zhaoyang Street alone."

Zhuo Hua was slightly taken aback: "Why?".

Xie Junnan said: "It's not safe over there."

"Oh..." In response, Zhuohua suddenly realized... Xie Junnan's hand was still on his waist, he turned around to hide, but when he turned his head, he saw Cheng Nanny and Wang Dong staring at him wide open behind him, It was even more embarrassing immediately, and he turned back.

"What's wrong?" Xie Junnan was suspicious.

Zhuohua's head was a little dizzy: "Mother Cheng and the others are still watching us from behind...".

Xie Junnan immediately snorted: "I guess it's because I'm worried that we'll get into a quarrel."

Zhuo Hua sighed, no wonder the eyes of those two were so wide!

Seeing Zhuohua like this, Xie Junnan smiled even more, he simply stretched out his hand, opened the cloak, and hugged Zhuohua in his arms, Zhuohua was stunned, and when he looked up at him, Xie Junnan stuck to his ear Said: "In this way, they will not look at us again".

Zhuo Hua didn't believe it, he secretly looked back and saw that Cheng Nai and Wang Dong and the others were no longer looking at this side, he was relieved in his heart, he sighed softly, didn't speak, just let Xie Junnan keep hugging like this looking at myself...

He said he only played for a while, but when he returned to the mansion, it was still close to Haishi, Zhuohua felt sleepy, and after casually washing up, he lay down and fell asleep, Xie Junnan was still in good spirits, he sat outside the screen, separated by the bead curtain. There was a faint light in the room, as if he still had something to do, he spread out the rice paper, picked up the writing brush, and started waving the brush on the table...

Early the next morning, at some unknown time outside, the snow began to fly again.

The room was silent, only the faint and even breathing of Zhuohua on the bedside, Xie Junnan pushed the door in from the outside, he was wearing a light golden cloak, white clothes inside, a jade crown on his head, the whole person compared to In the past, it was obviously more noble, but before he approached the inner room, the people inside turned over, and even wearing bedding... rolled off the foot of the bed together!

Even though Xie Junnan rushed forward, he still failed to catch Zhuohua in time...

"Hiss...it hurts..." Zhuo Hua lay on the ground, huddled into a ball, hugging his head and rubbing it.

Seeing him like this, Xie Junnan endured and endured, and laughed out loud: "How do you tell me to say you are, such a big bed, you have the ability to get out of bed."

Zhuo Hua rubbed his head, gasping for air from the pain: "I fell asleep, how would I know...".

"You..." Xie Junnan sighed softly, and simply stretched out his hand to hug him back to the bed. Zhuohua was obviously taken aback, but when he looked up, Xie Junnan had already put him down, and picked up the quilt on the ground and changed it back to Zhuohua On the body: "Fortunately, there is no one to serve you in the room. If you didn't fall, wouldn't you be in trouble?".

Zhuo Hua felt a little guilty, he coughed lightly: "I will pay attention to it in the future."

Xie Junnan shook his head slightly: "This is the first time you have fallen down these days?".

Zhuohua: "...".

Falling off the bed is really uncontrollable...Sometimes when I get sleepy, I can't tell the direction, I just think about how to feel comfortable and I fall asleep, and the result...

In the past eleven days, this is the fourth time that Zhuohua fell off the foot of the bed, and one of them was half of his body hanging on the bed.

Looking at Zhuohua's silence, Xie Junnan also knew that he knew it, but he sighed softly, Xie Junnan seemed to have no choice but to surrender: "I'd better get someone to lay a carpet here, so that you won't fall down again and get knocked again." .

Zhuo Hua scratched his head, pretending he didn't hear it.

Outside, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded. Before Xie Junnan and Zhuo Hua could speak, Wang Dong's voice sounded outside: "Fourth young master, something seems to be wrong ahead, please hurry and have a look."

Zhuo Hua listened suspiciously, wondering what could make Wang Dong so anxious.

Xie Junnan pulled the quilt for him: "I'll go over and have a look, it's still early, you can take a break."

Zhuo Hua hummed, then naturally got into the quilt again, and when he heard the sound of the door closing, Zhuo Hua lifted the quilt again and sat on the bedside!

What are you sleeping on!

It's not really raising babies!

It should be followed by the past to see!

Secretly clenched his fists, Zhuohua turned over his clothes and put them on, and after a simple wash, he also went forward.

In the hall, even the old matriarch was alarmed, the house was full of people, and outside the door stood a group of brothers and sisters with worried expressions, wandering back and forth, while in the hall were a group of aunts and Xie Lan, As for the other uncles, Xie Qi and others are not here.

When Xie Junnan came over, he saw the gloomy expressions of Mrs. Xie and the old lady, even the always kind old lady had a sullen look on her face, and she became more suspicious in her heart, what happened.

After paying respects to everyone, Xie Junnan walked up to Xie Chenshi and asked her in a low voice, "Mother, what happened?".

Xie Chen looked worried: "Last night, Xie Qi took Biqing and the others out of the house to play, and I don't know what happened. Biqing... disappeared, and even Sister Yi was injured by a fall, and now she is still alive." Didn't wake up."

Sister Yi is the daughter of Xie Qi and Jiang Biqing.

Xie Junnan was surprised when he heard this: "Why didn't someone notify me earlier when such a big event happened?".

Xie Chen sighed: "The old lady is worried about Zhuohua's body, and I am deeply afraid that this matter will disturb Zhuohua, so I didn't even say anything to you. Xie Qi is now with the housekeeper, and your third uncle and you Father, they brought people outside to look for Biqing's whereabouts, and Hongye also went to inform Jiang Guogong's mansion early this morning."

Xie Junnan's face was solemn when he heard this, and he even secretly thought that when Xie Qi went out, he would bring guards by his side, but... Jiang Biqing disappeared in just one night, who would believe that it was just an accident?Perhaps this was planned for a long time, waiting for Xie Qi and the others to throw themselves into the trap... But... If this is the case, then the other party's purpose is to have personal grievances only with Xie Qi, or with the entire Xie family ?

Xie Junnan thought to himself and stopped talking.

The old matriarch sat on top with her eyes closed. When Xie Junnan came in, she was too tired to respond. Now she was a little slower. When she raised her eyes, she saw a shining figure flashing past the door. The old lady Taijun was stunned immediately: "But Zhuohua is outside?".

Everyone in the room turned their heads.

Zhuohua originally wanted to hide by the door and take a look, but he never thought that the old matriarch's eyes were too sharp, and he found himself. Zhuohua sighed softly in his heart, and he had no choice but to go in honestly: "Grandma, grandpa, grandma After saluting, Zhuo Hua looked at Xie Chen and the others: "Auntie, mother, third aunt".

The old lady stretched out her hand towards him: "Zhuohua, why are you here?".

Zhuohua stepped forward and stood next to the old matriarch: "When I just woke up, I heard that something happened here. I was worried, so I came here to have a look."

The old lady sighed: "You child, you still need others to take care of your body, why are you still running around?"

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm in good health, you see I've gained weight recently."

When the old lady heard this, she finally had a smile in her eyes.

Zhuo Hua looked at the crowd cautiously, before hesitatingly asked: "Grandma, is... what happened?".

The old matriarch didn't speak, and it was Mrs. Xie who spoke: "Your sister-in-law went out with you yesterday and hasn't come back. Now your elder brother is taking people to look for her. It's been a whole night, and there is no news."

Zhuo Hua was slightly startled, secretly guessing that these people might have been sitting here all night?That's all for Xie Chen and others, but Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Madam are old, how can they bear such an all-night stay?What's more, in such a frightening situation?

"Is there a dog in the house? If it's a wolf dog, that would be the best," Zhuo Hua suddenly said.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

The old lady asked: "Wolfdog?".

"En!" Zhuo Hua said: "A dog's sense of smell is the most sensitive. Find something that my sister-in-law used on a daily basis and give it to the dog to smell it. Maybe it will be able to find the smell and bring back my sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and Xie Wu even hurriedly asked: "Are you serious about what you said?".

"Really, really." Zhuo Hua nodded again and again: "As long as my sister-in-law is not taken to other places, such as a place with water that can isolate the smell, I can usually find it!".

Xie Junnan immediately said: "Qingming has a dog at home, I will go to the general's mansion immediately!".

Xie Chen said: "It's best to take the things your sister-in-law used with you."

Xie Wushi also got up in a hurry: "I'll get it right away."

Seeing everyone's reaction, the old matriarch sighed deeply: "I really hope that Zhuohua's method... can be useful...".

Zhuohua's method is indeed true. After Xie Junnan went to the general's mansion to ask Dongfang Qingming to borrow a dog, relying on the dog's sense of smell, he really led everyone to find Jiang Biqing in the ruined temple outside the city, but...they were still a step too late after all. ...

In the evening, Zhuohua looked at Xie Junnan's gloomy expression, hesitating to speak, and couldn't help asking him carefully: "Sister-in-law...what's wrong with her?".

Xie Junnan let out a long sigh: "She was molested."

Molestation is still a tactful way of saying it, looking closely at Xie Junnan's expression, and the way they hurriedly brought him back this afternoon, Zhuo Hua couldn't help but secretly be sure, I'm afraid... what happened to Jiang Biqing was not just as simple as being molested...
