Chapter 22: Thief
After Ke Huaimin finished eating a plate of peach blossom cake, he heard Jiuhui say that Ke Zhengdong was coming.
Ke Huaimin was stunned, stood up, and saw Ke Zhengdong and said respectfully, "Father." β
Ke Zhengdong's attitude towards his daughter and his son is completely different. Ke Xiyuan's sister and brother both look like Aunt Xia, but Ke Zhengdong prefers Ke Xiyuan a lot, and is very strict with Ke Huaimin's son.
"Pack up, you go with me to your mother...... Let's eat at my aunt's place. β
Both of them were abrupt in their hearts, and they didn't say much, and after agreeing, they went out with Ke Zhengdong.
When Yu received the news, the family of four was already eating.
Yu only felt that his heart hurt so much these days, and he had no place to vent his anger, so he picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground.
"Madam, don't be angry, be careful." Mother He felt a little distressed about Yu.
"Sluts, all sluts!" Yu Shi seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and his voice was a little hysterical.
It's all Yu's own people here, Mother He wasn't worried, but she still smoothed Yu's back, "Mrs., an aunt, a young lady, a young master, is it worth your anger?" In this family, there are people who don't like aunts and concubines. β
"Mom, I know that I wouldn't tolerate that slut all these years. Look at the master, a heart is all on that fox. How many times has he come to my yard over the years? My Feng'er, how many times has he cared about it? He had never eaten alone with me and Feng'er. Mom, I'm ......"
Mother He resented Ke Zhengdong and the four of them. Over the years, the Yu family has changed from a smart boudoir woman to such a dark one, all of them are these four people.
"Miss, I just hope that Miss Xiao will marry well, and you will be fine." Mother He hadn't called Miss Yu for too long, a young lady, a little young lady, which made Yu's heart so sad that she almost shed tears.
mentioned Ke Xifeng, it was her weakness. She had nothing but her daughter.
Therefore, the daughter must be happy, not like her.
Thinking of the events of Yongningbo Mansion that day, a trace of resentment flashed in Yu's eyes.
Here, Aunt Xia looked at the three people eating, her heart was full of happiness, and she gave the three of them vegetables from time to time.
Ke Xiyuan didn't feel good in her heart. It's easy for an ordinary woman to have a meal with her husband and children, right? But Aunt Xia didn't know how long she had been looking forward to such an opportunity.
Thinking of this, he sandwiched a piece of grunt meat to Aunt Xia, but found that another pair of chopsticks with a chicken leg was also placed in Aunt Xia's bowl.
Ke Xiyuan and Ke Huaimin's sister and brother looked at each other and smiled, and then lowered their heads to eat.
Aunt Xia couldn't help but have a sour nose. My own pair of children are really wonderful.
"Look at you, it's the same for a meal. Finally, the children came to eat with you, and you didn't eat well. After that, Ke Zhengdong also took the dishes and sent them to Aunt Xia's bowl.
Aunt Xia's eyes were red, and her face was also red.
"Donglang, I'm just happy. It's been a long time since I've eaten with the three of you, and I'm so happy. β
Ke Zhengdong's eyes flashed with a trace of pain, "Don't worry, in the future, I promise to bring them over to have dinner with you once a month?" β
"Father, really? That's great! Ke Huaimin was the first to respond.
"Humph!" Ke Zhengdong snorted lightly, Ke Huaimin immediately froze, and lowered his head to pick up the rice again.
Ke Xiyuan smiled and gently kicked Ke Huaimin with his foot, Ke Huaimin smiled at Ke Xiyuan slyly, and then ate.
"What? Yuanyuan is not happy? Ke Zhengdong didn't miss the small movements of the two sisters and brothers, and said deliberately.
"Happy, daddy is the best!"
Coquettish and cute, young age. Ke Xiyuan felt that the benefits left by the original owner were too good.
The most painful thing is this daughter, when he heard Ke Xiyuan say this, Ke Zhengdong laughed happily.
The atmosphere of eating for a while is surprisingly good.
Ke Zhengdong said after eating that he still had some business to deal with, so he would come over and rest later.
Ke Xiyuan knew that Ke Zhengdong deliberately set aside time for Aunt Xia to let the three of them get together.
This father really loves Aunt Xia.
It's just that in this era, a man's love for his concubine is undoubtedly a drug. Urging but rushing to **.
"Mother, my uncle is here today?"
Ke Xiyuan asked unintentionally, looking at Aunt Xia's expression.
Aunt Xia didn't expect Ke Xiyuan to ask like this, and replied with a smile, "I've been here, your aunt is sick, come and ask me to find a few medicines." β
Relatives who fight the autumn wind? Ke Xiyuan didn't know why she had a feeling that something was wrong.
Aunt Xia didn't care about that uncle's cousin, but she always felt that something was missing.
"Is there any herbs at this moment? Do you need to send some silver taels? β
Ke Xiyuan is definitely a little rich woman who is not too big or small.
Although Aunt Xia is a concubine, Ke Zhengdong loves her very much, and always subsidizes Aunt Xia for herself. Aunt Xia always gave Ke Xiyuan everything, she didn't need any money herself, she just hoped that her daughter could live a better life.
Aunt Xia touched Ke Xiyuan's face with relief, "No need, my mother has already given enough." β
Ke Huaimin only felt that Aunt Xia was unhappy, so he also leaned over, "Mother, why are you unhappy?" Did someone get angry with you? β
Aunt Xia shook her head and smiled a little, "Mother, as long as the two of you are healthy and happy, you will be satisfied." β
Ke Xiyuan always felt that Aunt Xia was suppressing something.
Just after eating, although Aunt Xia was indeed very happy, it was not difficult to see that there was a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows.
She is not Ke Huaimin, she can be so outspoken, she likes to speculate and confirm by herself.
Since Aunt Xia didn't say anything at this moment, she and Ke Huaimin couldn't ask anything.
grabbed Ke Huaimin and didn't allow him to ask any more questions, so he naturally pulled the topic to something else.
Coming out of Aunt Xia's yard, for some reason, Ke Xiyuan always felt cold behind her. Subconsciously look at the past, but you can't see anything.
After Ke Xiyuan walked away, a man in a night suit walked out, looked at Ke Xiyuan's background and whispered, "Little Pepper." β
Back in Mozhu Courtyard, Ke Xiyuan freshened up and lay on the bed, thinking about getting along with Aunt Xia these days.
She has always felt that Aunt Xia has something buried in her heart, because no matter when, there is a sad look between her eyebrows, and it is even worse today.
It can be seen that she and Ke Zhengdong love each other, and she and Ke Huaimin are well-behaved and understandable, except for the status of concubine, she should have nothing unsatisfactory.
Even if you are dissatisfied with the status of the concubine, after so many years, it should have happened a long time ago. Moreover, with Ke Zhengdong's love for her, if she has this request, Ke Zhengdong will definitely meet it.
So what is it exactly? Ke Xiyuan was a little confused, as if she had seen a dead end, and she couldn't solve it.
Suddenly, I faintly heard the sound of gongs and drums beating by the patrolling people in the house.
"Thief! A thief! β
Ke Xiyuan's heart suddenly burst into the thief? Prime Minister Ke's family was robbed? What thief is so eyeless?
As soon as he was about to get up, he keenly sensed that there was something more in the room, and then the candle went out.
She doesn't like to blow out candles when she sleeps, and always lets them burn until she falls asleep.
Regarding her habit, Zuizhi always joked that fortunately, it was Miss Xiangfu, if she wasn't in the homes of ordinary people, there wouldn't be so many candles for her to waste.
"Who?" In the dark night, Ke Xiyuan's vigilance increased a little more.
A chuckle, "Fifth Miss is not even afraid of private meetings with others, so why be afraid." β
In this era, a woman who dares to have a private meeting with a man is indeed a bold woman.
The other party is a man, or a man who saw him when he went out of the house that day.
Could it be Wu Shizi? Ke Xiyuan quickly denied it, and her voice was not like it.
The voice sounded cynical and slanted.
"What is the matter with Childe?"
The man was a little surprised by her calmness, but he was quickly relieved. That day, more than this scene, the woman panicked, didn't she panic?
He smiled self-deprecatingly, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water, "Borrow Miss's place to hide from the search of your mansion." β
He didn't expect that in such a courtyard, there would be someone to protect it in the dark, and the kung fu was not shallow. At least, I just exchanged hands a few times, and I can't find the depth of the other party.
Sensing that it was difficult, he quickly retreated.
It's easy to escape. But for some reason, I just wanted to come and see her.
The candles went out, and neither could see each other's appearance. The room was silent, except for the occasional search sound outside.
"It turns out that Childe likes to take refuge in a woman's boudoir."
"To be precise, I like to take refuge in your boudoir, Miss."
The man's tone was a little frivolous, and Ke Xiyuan's usual calmness couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Childe is not afraid that I will shout loudly?"
The man drank water to himself, "You call, I have legs to run." This rest, it's almost over, whether to call or not to call, it doesn't mean much to me. β
This means to tell sΓΉ Ke Xiyuan, if you shout loudly, I will run immediately; If you don't call, I'll continue to have a cup of tea. Not at all in a hurry, cynical, and reckless.
Ke Xiyuan rarely loses her temper, at most she just looks on coldly. But at this moment, there is indeed an evil fire lingering in my heart. She really felt the urge to get out of bed and kick this man hard.
"Miss, why did the candles in your room go out?" The voice of the drunken branch rang out.
Ke Xiyuan was suddenly a little nervous, although she had nothing to do with this man, but after all, he was sitting in her room.
couldn't help but glared fiercely in the direction of the man, "It's okay, I thought it was dazzling tonight, so I blew it out." You rest, you don't have to wait here. β
Although Zuizhi thought it was strange, she was a person who believed in Ke Xiyuan very much. Ke Xiyuan said one, she would never say two, let alone think it was bad to say one. This is the drunken branch.
Unable to hear the footsteps of the drunken branch, Ke Xiyuan said hatefully, "Childe can go, this big night, I don't welcome Childe here." β
"Then welcome the Yu family?" The man blurted out and immediately regretted it.
He felt that the woman sitting on the bed was emitting a thick evil aura. I touched my nose again, and I hated myself for not choosing what I said.
"Childe is not only rude, but also likes to listen to the corner, forget it, he is still such a bastard!"
What is Ba Po? The man said he didn't understand, but he knew it wasn't a good word.
Ke Xiyuan only felt that she was going to be angry to death. On a big night, such a scoundrel actually popped out.
He actually saw the conversation between himself and Yu Xuanming.
After solving the pig's head of the Ma family, how can this person be solved now?
Homicide? She won't.
Suborn? It seems that it is not easy to buy.
Ke Xiyuan had a headache, and she only felt as if she had never met this kind of person.
The man only felt that it was about the same, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that this little pepper would kill her.
"Miss Ke Wu, see you next time."
Before Ke Xiyuan could say anything, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
