With the end of the cold spring, the south of the Yangtze River in Qingcheng has once again returned to spring, and the backyard of Hufu is full of flowers.

And today, Hu Jiuling's heart is as bright as the spring flowers blooming outside, for no other reason, the wolf cub who covets the pearl in his palm is finally gone. Since he came back from Tiger Prison Gorge, he pretended to be sick and crooked, coaxing his innocent daughter to revolve around him, all kinds of hospitality even he had never enjoyed as a father, and he could see that he had brewed vinegar in his heart.

But with Master Kukai's diagnosis, he can't say anything yet.

The dumb eats coptis, and he is bitter in his heart. Well, now, the wolf cub is finally gone. Without him in the middle, he had to hurry up and kiss his intimate little padded jacket.

"Prepare Ah Yao's favorite quail soup, right and hibiscus crispy ......"

crackling and reporting a lot of dish names, Hu Jiuling commanded the back kitchen to turn around, and finally presented a table full of sumptuous dishes at dinner. was full of joy and waited for his beloved daughter to come back, but he didn't expect him to wait for the little marquis first.

"Lord Hou......"

Ah Yao, who was busy with the shop, hurriedly returned to the house, and smelled the fragrance as soon as she entered the door. It's her favorite quail soup! Following the fragrance to the door, she saw the unexpected back of the Xuanyi.

"Brother Jing!"

The joyful voice of the milk swallow returning to the nest came, Lu Jingyuan turned his head, and his habitually cold eyes contained infinite tenderness, "En." ”

Carrying his skirt up the steps, crossing the threshold A-Yao stopped beside him, "It's really you, didn't you go to the state capital to investigate the case?" ”

"It's done."

“…… So fast. A-Yao, who was willing to rush back from the state capital to eat for him, and who would rush back tomorrow, paused before reacting.

Lu Jingyuan explained simply, "The summary of the case is sent every day, and I have paid attention to it during the recuperation period, and I have already thought about what to do. ”

It has always been the style of the little marquis to plan and then move, and he never fights unprepared battles.

With the experience of the last few years of his previous life, he knew some things very well. When he heard the word "rebellion" from the mouth of the deputy envoy, he already understood what the emperor's uncle meant. The most difficult part of this matter is not to exterminate the water bandits, nor to convict Wu Youliang, but how to make this matter bigger, drag more people who don't like it into the water and ask for the guilt.

After the investigation is completed, by the way, he will place his own hands in these critical positions. This is what the emperor's uncle has always done, just like this, he has become more and more in control of the imperial court for many years after ascending the throne, and he is no longer the puppet emperor who was hidden in the shadow of the emperor before.

Of course, installing his own people is all an afterthought, and he is only responsible for the first half. He had long been aware of this, and when he was recuperating from his injury, he had already calculated the relationship between all parties and formulated several sets of plans.

Originally, he didn't expect to be able to drag Guang Pinghou's right-hand man into the water, but he didn't expect Wu Youliang to be so intimidated, and he fell into the trap he set up in a few words.

"So you prepared a similar boat to burn the bandit and pretend to be killed, just to lure him out?"

"This ...... Not exactly. ”

Although he denied it, in Ah Yao's eyes, it was obviously an admission.

She remembered that what she was most worried about after being reborn was nothing more than the fear that Daddy would repeat the tragedy of her previous life. Unexpectedly, the helper hidden behind Shen Moci in his previous life was removed by Brother Jing unknowingly. obviously helped her so much, the matter has passed these days, if she hadn't taken the initiative to ask, he wouldn't even have said it.

How could he be so nice to her?

Ah Yao's eyes were faintly warm. Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan hurriedly spoke, his voice was a little stiff: "It's all in the past, don't worry about these for now, you should be tired after a busy day outside, eat something first." ”

This time he was busy opening the shop, and at the same time, the homework of the two masters and the academy could not be left behind, and Brother Jing's teaching of martial arts could not be interrupted for a day, and Ah Yao was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and she had not used it well for a long time.

Sitting at the table, looking at the table full of colorful and fragrant meals, she was overjoyed.

"Brother Jing rushed back and forth from the state city in one day, he must be tired, so you should hurry up and sit down and eat." Recovering her mood, she patted the embroidered pier next to her and greeted.

Lu Jingyuan sat down with kindness and looked at Hu Jiuling next to him while he was unprepared.

Even if his complexion basically did not change, Hu Jiuling could see the pride that could not be concealed under his indifferent complexion.

The gratitude in his heart vanished instantly, and he couldn't help coughing.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you, but you have a cold?"

Ah Yao, who had already sat down, said with concern, sensing the awkward atmosphere around her, and she also reacted after a pause. It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to know how to deal with it, Daddy made it clear that she didn't deal with Brother Jing, and she was really in a dilemma when she was caught in the middle.

What to do?

pinched the spoon and thought about it, and finally she decided to avoid the important and light, "Daddy has prepared such a sumptuous table of dishes, all of which are what his daughter loves to eat, and she is happy just by smelling it." ”

After speaking, she looked in the direction of Hu Jiuling with her little head, smiled sweetly, and said in a soft voice: "Daddy is the best." ”

In just five words, Hu Jiuling's heart has softened into a pool of spring water.

I'm happy here, but the little marquis next to me is not happy. When the cold air hit, Ah Yao frowned, lifted the embroidered shoes under the table, kicked at his soap boots, and then desperately squeezed his eyes while Daddy was unprepared.

By the time she was about to squeeze into a cross-eyed, the cold air finally disappeared. The Song family, who stewed soup from the back kitchen, also came over, and several people gathered around the table to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

Obviously, the food is delicious, but A-Yao is very unhappy with this meal. During this time, she ran to the northeast and west to open a shop, and she also matured quickly after seeing more people, and she had a better understanding of human affairs, and gradually she could see the disagreement between Daddy and Brother Jing.

There were a lot of things in the shop before, and her single-threaded brain was too busy to care about anything else. But now that the shop is on the right track, she only needs to check the accounts every day, and when she has more free time, she is easy to be cranky.

I think when I see Daddy, I think about Brother Jing when I see it, and even when I go to bed at night and see the pair of jade rings on the golden hook on the stepping bed, I think about it sometimes in my dreams, and she is going crazy if I think too much.

couldn't go on like this anymore, after drinking the last sip of soup, A-Yao finally made up her mind.
