"This lady, you just came all the way and saw my housewife?"

Hua Lianyue was in annoyance, and suddenly heard Zhang Yuanyang's gentle and polite inquiry faintly from not far away. She couldn't help but slap her forehead in annoyance, it was really a lot of fun. Originally, I wanted to avoid it and go out again, but now I guess I can't hide it.

It is estimated that the county yali is too lively tonight, and this clever county magistrate is also a little confused, and she can't tell who this handsome and handsome strange young man in front of her is. I heard her hesitate and said, "I don't know where this young man is, and who is your housewife?"

I heard Zhang Yuanyang say with a little pride: "I am from the Zhang family in Xunyang, but I don't have any official position, and I only follow King Xian on errands at present." My housewife is naturally my family's Lady Xianwang!"

There was silence for a moment, and Mrs. Zhixian's slightly nervous voice came again: "Young Master Zhang, do you mean that your wife is in this back garden now?"

"Yes, my wife has been in for half an hour, haven't you seen it all the way?"

"No, no, I haven't seen anyone in the depths of this night!" Mrs. Zhixian immediately denied it.

"Why didn't you see it, we had been waiting outside before, and we didn't see her come out!" Xiaoxiao's voice was already faintly anxious.

Zhang Yuanyang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you tell King Xian about this immediately, and I will go to the courtyard to find her first." "King Xian once confessed that although the surnamed Xie was arrested, he was afraid that his remnants would jump over the wall in a hurry and cause trouble in the next few days, so he asked him to be responsible for Sister Hua's safety. If Sister Hua was kidnapped under his nose tonight, he could only raise his head and ask his virtuous brother for his guilt.

"Okay, you go and find it, I'll go and report to King Xian!" Xiaoxiao said without hesitation.

Zhang Yuanyang and Xiaoxiao's anxious appearance seemed to make Mrs. Zhixian feel deeply unimpressed, she laughed dryly a few times, and interjected: "Young Master Zhang, don't be so nervous. Since your wife is in this backyard, she naturally can't lose it, so let's go and help find it. She was a little weak-hearted, and wanted to take the opportunity to find out if Mrs. Yue had heard the conversation between herself and her daughter.

"Yes! Mother has a point. Miss Lan'er, who had been shy and silent, finally spoke softly: "King Xian is investigating the case in the lobby, and that is the most important thing at present. As his subordinates, how can you bother for a trivial matter? Let's go to the backyard and look for ...... first."

"A trivial matter, do you dare to say that the disappearance of my housewife is a trivial matter?" Zhang Yuanyang interrupted her unceremoniously, and his originally gentle voice became extremely cold: "Believe it or not, if you can't find the housewife tonight, King Xian will let people tear down all the backyards of your county government under the anger of the ......"

There was a "creaking" sound, which was the sound of feet stepping on broken branches. Zhang Yuanyang's threat already made the atmosphere tense and solemn, and this sound seemed to be amplified countless times in everyone's ears.

"Ahh

In the dim light, a slightly thin figure was slowly coming in the moonlight. There was a faint smile on her sleek and snow-white face, and the cloak on her shoulders was slightly longer, making a soft sound when it brushed the fallen leaves on the bluestone pavement. Although the sheepskin boots on her feet were light and silent, the multicolored jewels inlaid on them shone faintly in the light of the lamp, like an illusion.

"Madam, it's Madame!" Xiaoxiao cheered, and immediately walked over quickly: "Why don't you make a sound, I am worried in vain!"

Are you worried? I'm really worried about why I don't see you coming to me in a hurry.

Hua Lianyue secretly slandered, patted the back of Xiaoxiao's hand, and comforted: "I just saw a delicate pavilion on the lotus pond over there, so I went in and took a nap, but I didn't expect to delay the hour." ”

The magistrate on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and finally let go of the heart she was carrying. She hurriedly put on a smile on her face, and pulled Lan'er, who was shrunk aside, to salute: "I've seen Madame." ”

As soon as Hua Lianyue saw the mother and daughter who secretly coveted Liu Hui and used themselves for amusement between words, she panicked in her heart. She smiled and said, "These two must be Mrs. and Miss Zhixian!"

Mrs. Zhixian smiled and said, "Madame has good eyesight, this is the little girl Lan'er." ”

Lan'er seemed to be a little embarrassed, she twisted for a long time before she twisted the handkerchief and said in a voice: "I've seen Madame." ”

Hua Lianyue took a closer look at her by the light, although it was late at night, it was obvious that this Lan'er girl was deliberately dressed up in order to make Liu Hui's eyes shine. A delicate and bright goose-yellow brocade dress, only the cuffs of the skirt are embroidered with pink and white hibiscus flowers.

The waist is tied with a light yellow embroidered ribbon, and the corners of the skirt are pressed with a few pieces of crystal jade, which makes her figure more and more light and moving like a weak willow. Her black hair is slanted in a lazy falling bun, and only two pearl tassel hairpins continue to shake with her movements, which has a fresh and elegant gentle style.

It's a pity that the light is dim, and she has been half-hanging her head with a weak heart, and Hua Liyue can only see her smooth forehead and faint willow eyebrows.

Frowning, Hua Lianyue said lightly: "Miss Lan'er doesn't need to be so polite!" She glanced at the heavy food box in the maid's hand seemingly casually, and said, "Are you going to send food to the magistrate?"

Although Mrs. Zhixian is a little more active, she is not scheming in the end. She said in a little panic: "Yes, yes! My master is not in good health, and he can't stand hunger at night." These are all made by Lan'er herself, if Mrs. doesn't dislike it, she will use some together later. ”

Hua Lianyue smiled slightly, raised her legs and took the lead to walk out of the courtyard. Mrs. Zhixian exhaled quietly, and hurriedly signaled Lan'er to follow.

After walking a few steps, I heard Hua Lianyue in front of me say with a smile: "When I was asleep, I vaguely heard Mrs. Zhixian say that I stewed pheasant cub soup, and I will drink a bowl of hot water later to drive away the cold on my body." ”

Before she finished speaking, she heard a soft sound of "poof" from behind, and Lan'er exclaimed: "Mother, you didn't fall!"

Hua Lianyue turned around in shock, but saw that Mrs. Zhixian somehow actually slipped on the ground. She saw Hua Lianyue looking back, and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the soles of your feet are slippery with dew at night!"

"It's okay!"

Hua Lianyue's original depression was suddenly swept away, and there were thousands of pretentious ignorant and stupid people in the world, if she was angry for their gossip, wouldn't she suffer herself.

After figuring it out, Hua Lianyue no longer paid attention to the pair of mother and daughter with ghosts behind her, she took Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yuanyang and strode out of the backyard and went to the lobby in front.

The prisoners in the lobby were gone, but there was a faint smell of blood in the air. It seems that in order to get a confession as soon as possible, Liu Hui still used some extraordinary means.

Looking up at Liu Hui, who was sitting on the top and was bowing his head to sort out the confession, Hua Lianyue's eyes were full of distress, he hurried back all the way, and hurriedly handled the case and took people, he should not have had a good rest for a long time.

Hua Lianyue said to Xiaoxiao: "Go to the kitchen and get some hot milk tea." ”

"Isn't there a pheasant soup?" Xiaoxiao said confusedly.

Hua Lianyue was stunned for a moment, and then said with disgust on her face: "At night, who eats those greasy things." ”

Xiaoxiao scratched her head, but obediently turned around to look for the kitchen.

Hua Lianyue quietly came behind Liu Hui, reached out to pinch his shoulders for him, and whispered softly, "I'm tired, how many people are still to be tried?"

"Almost, the rest are small fish and shrimp, and they will be handed over to the brothers of the Weng family. They are all on errands in the army, and many things have been seen in their eyes for a long time. Now that I have a chance, I am waiting to vent my evil anger for the old general!"

Liu Hui put the stack of confessions neatly and pressed them with a ruler. Then he raised his hand and grabbed Hua Liyue's busy hands on his shoulders.

His brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he said, "Why are your hands so cold, but they're frozen?"

Hua Lianyue glanced at him, pursed her lips and said with a thin sneer: "It's already the middle of the night, so naturally the cold will hit people, what's so strange about cold hands." Although those women did not deserve her anger, she was willing to take her anger out on him who was the culprit.

Liu Hui smiled good-naturedly, he wrapped the cloak on his shoulders tightly for her, and held her cold hands tightly, trying to warm her with his own body heat.

The people around King Xian were accustomed to seeing the master's wholehearted care for his mother, so they had already obediently looked away and didn't dare to look directly. Although the rest of the people were surprised, they thought that they were reunited after a long absence, and they naturally smiled kindly, and they didn't dare to come forward to disturb at this moment.

But there are always some uninteresting people who have no eyes and are pretentious, and they jump out to attract people's attention.

"I've seen King Xian!"

Although Hua Lianyue hinted that she had heard their plot before, Mrs. Zhixian was caught off guard and panicked. But I thought that tonight was the only chance to push Lan'er in front of King Xian. If you miss it, you will never miss it.

This stupid and short-sighted woman, who yearns for wealth and honor, hesitated for a moment, but still appeared in front of Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue with Lan'er.

"I've seen King Xian!"

Lan'er curtsy with her mother. She had just stolen a glance at King Xian, and her heart was pounding like a deer. The delicate cheeks flew with two blushes, and King Xian was really better than his mother said.

She was originally a budding age to be released, and she was naturally full of fantasies and expectations for the handsome and wealthy young man. Especially when she saw that King Xian was so gentle with that lady who was not a stunning beauty, her heart was full of envy.

If his beautiful eyes could look at him so tenderly, if his slender hands could hold his hands so strongly, she would be willing to die now.

Lan'er bit her lower lip lightly, and raised her chin with shyness, so that her blushing pretty face was completely presented in the bright candlelight.

Hua Lianyue, who was on the top, squinted her eyes slightly, and secretly sneered in her heart, she was really a bright and beautiful girl, no wonder Mrs. Zhixian would be so confident, as long as her daughter showed up, she could easily seduce Liu Hui's soul.

Liu Hui still half-hung his head, his gaze resting on the hands clasped with Hua Lianyue. He didn't even raise his eyes, he only said lightly: "Well, there is no need to be polite!"

Mrs. Zhixian's eyes obviously flashed with disappointment, she stood up stupidly, and saw that Liu Hui, who was sitting in the center, only rubbed Hua Lianyue's hands, and did not continue to care about her mother and daughter, and her heart couldn't help but become more and more annoyed.

After all, she didn't give up, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her triangular eyes kept turning, and suddenly fell on the food box in the maid's hand. She patted her thigh and said with a smile on her face: "After a busy night, you must be tired and tired, here are some snacks and fruits stewed by my Lan'er herself, and fill your stomach." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"Miss Lan'er is really a good Lanxin, who married her, but it is a great blessing!"

"Thank you, Miss Lan'er!"

A grateful compliment sounded around him, and Mrs. Zhixian humbly returned the salute one by one, and commanded the maids to divide the food they brought with dishes and deliver it to everyone. She personally scooped up a bowl of steaming chicken soup, handed it to Lan'er, and pouted in Liu Hui's direction.

Lan'er was extremely disappointed that Liu Hui didn't raise her eyes to look at herself, and at this moment, holding this bowl of chicken soup, she seemed to have regained her confidence. She took a deep breath, with a bright smile, twisted her slender waist gracefully, and walked towards Liu Hui.

"King Xian, this soup is still hot, you might as well enjoy it while it's hot. Lan'er's voice was soft and sweet, and Hua Lianyue was numb when she heard it. She couldn't help but stare at Liu Hui fiercely, wondering if the big man in front of her, who seemed to have been staying out of the matter, would be tempted by this sweet voice and raise her eyes to look at the delicate little beauty.

When she was indignant, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her hand, and she was secretly pinched by him.

Hua Lianyue was about to shake her hands and get angry, but she felt that Liu Hui tightened her hands and didn't let herself break free. He raised his head slightly and looked at her apologetically, his beautiful dark eyes were full of exhaustion, and the bloodshot under his eyes was terrifying.

Hua Lianyue's heart softened, she knew that the ridiculous behavior of these women in front of her really couldn't be blamed on him. After all, she is his wife, and she can't just stay out of the way and watch the excitement. After all, it was best for her to come forward to deal with these things.

Hua Lianyue coughed lightly, and said to Lan'er, whose smile was about to freeze: "Thank you, Miss Lan'er, but King Xian doesn't like to eat these greasy things at night, you should serve this bowl of chicken soup to Lord Zhixian!"

Lan'er's face full of anticipation suddenly stiffened, and her eyes couldn't help revealing a deep sense of loss and unwillingness. This Lady Moon is not a celestial beauty, why does King Xian only have her in his eyes, and he refuses to give himself even a trace of afterglow.

As long as he can look at himself, just one glance, he will know how good he is.

Lan'er bit her lower lip lightly, and was about to speak again, when Chen Zhutou, who had been peeking on the side for a long time, immediately took a few steps forward. He took the chicken soup in Lan'er's hand and said with a smile: "Miss Lan'er, I happen to be hungry, how about giving me this bowl of soup?"

Chen Zhutou had dealt with Hua Lianyue, so he naturally knew that she was not as harmless to humans and animals as she seemed on the surface. Xie Jingde would fall so fast, the world thought it was the thunderous anger of King Xian. Only a few of them knew that it was actually this woman who was turning her hands into clouds and rain in the dark.

It's just that when it was time to finally close the net, King Xian was afraid that she would be too arrogant and arrogant, and that she would gather everyone's hatred, so he hurried back to take over.

Miss Lan'er's immature and obscure thoughts really can't get into the eyes of the two above. Chen Zhutou watched Lan'er grow up, and she couldn't bear to be ignorant, and she didn't know that she had fallen into a catastrophe, so she opened her mouth to break the embarrassing situation of the turbulent dark tide in front of her.
