In the carriage, Lu Youlin remembered that when he was still a poor scholar, his wife fell in love with him, although the Yue family was just a small master of the government, but for him it was the gap between heaven and earth, and it was also the support of the Yue family that made him where he is today.

After he was promoted, he married his wife according to the agreement.

Mrs. is jealous, gave birth to three daughters in a row, and still refuses to take a concubine for him, and the maid in the house is even more tight, for fear that he will be stained with a star, for which he also fell into the name of fear, who knows him in the imperial capital does not know that there is a tigress in his house, and they are all talked about as a joke.

Many years passed like this, ten years, until he met Qiu Niang.

It was a scene to play, but he admitted the truth, tried his best to redeem Qiu Niang, and left the house alone and hid outside.

Qiu Niang was very competitive, and soon gave birth to a pair of twin sons for him, in Qiu Niang's place, he finally felt the sweetness of love and the warmth of home, he finally felt that he did not live in vain, and because of this pair of sons, he was finally no longer ashamed of his deceased parents.

Maybe it's because he has always been honest, Madame has relaxed her vigilance, maybe he is cautious, Qiu Niang's affairs have been hidden for eight years, and he is also used to going around in two homes, and he is never tired of it.

No one could have imagined that all the good things were shattered on this night, all the hopes and dreams were shattered, and he realized that the stolen happiness was short-lived after all, and that there was a cause and an effect, and that he had planted the antecedents and had to swallow the bitter fruit.

"Retribution, retribution......" he muttered again.

"Sir, it's here."

"Old man......"

The coachman called several times outside, and he realized that he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even know when he arrived at the gate of the house.

Walking into the mansion, the servants who came and went saluted, "Master." ”

Although his official position is not high, the house he has is not small, and although the layout of the mansion is not luxurious, it is definitely not supported by a small six-rank official.

Before entering the upper room, the short and fat lady Yao Shi greeted her, "Didn't the master say that he had a business trip, why did he go back to the house?" ”

In the past, when I saw this lady with a face full of meat and a waist like a bucket, although she didn't show it on her face, she was disgusted in her heart, and she always had a perfunctory attitude no matter what she said or did, but today, thinking that it is possible that yin and yang will be separated forever, there is a little bit of regret in her heart, and she barely squeezes out a smile, "I was busy all night yesterday, and I came back to rest and rest." ”

Holding Madame's fleshy hand, he rubbed it lightly, and said with a rare sincere smile: "Isn't Madame welcome to be a husband?" ”

Yao's family was originally from a small family, and his temper was impatient, even if he dressed up, he couldn't behave like a real noblewoman. She and Lu Youlin have also passed the period of concubine affection, the two get along, and they can't even raise their eyebrows, and when they hear their husband laughing, they are startled at the same time, and their faces are slightly red.

Women, whether they are young or old, whether they are smart or stupid, whether they are beautiful or ugly, in fact, their hearts are the same, and they all yearn for someone who treats them sincerely.

Yao is the same, although she feels that her husband is a little weird today, but such an intimate behavior makes her excited, as if she has returned to the time when the two just met.

Hurriedly scolded the personal girl who was bowing her head and snickering, "Xiaomei, don't go and pass the meal soon." ”

"Yes." Xiaomei took the order and left.

Yao Shicai said with a smile: "The master eats first, and then washes up and sleeps well, he is not a young man, and the family expenses are enough, the master still has to take care of his body." ”

The tone has become rare gentle, full of care and love.

"Well, it's all up to Madame."

On this day, there was a rare harmony in the Lu Mansion, and even the slaves were strange, why didn't they hear the roar of the Madame's Hedong lion?

Xu was too tired, as soon as Lu Youlin fell on the bed, he fell asleep, although he didn't sleep so peacefully, but he was in a daze, and when he woke up, it was sunset, and it was dusk.

Yao's had already prepared a banquet, and the two of them were just like when they first got married, you toast me, I toast you, not to say that the affection is lingering, but it is much closer than before.

This night, Lu Youlin said a lot of emotional words, such as "Mrs. married me and suffered", such as "If there was no Mrs., there would be no current me" and so on, maybe he was sorry at first, but later, he was really emotional.

No matter how wrong the Yao family is, she is also a wife who supports each other when she is poor, and she is also a pillow person who has been close to each other for more than ten years.

Helping the drunk Yao to bed, Lu Youlin sighed and stroked her face, and then left the house.

Yanqing Street, in the alley, the door is still open as soon as it is pushed, the yard is still pitch black, and there is still only a little light in the main house.

"Lord Lu, but let's wait a long time, I thought you weren't coming."

The room was still the same two people from last night.

Lu Youlin, who was full of alcohol, stared straight at the person opposite, "I want to see Qiu Niang and the child." ”

"Lord Lu agreed?"

Xu is wine strengthens people's courage, Lu Youlin stiffened his neck and shouted: "I want to see Qiu Niang, I want to see the child." ”

"Okay."

Liu Qin clapped his hands, and Changxing walked in. Liu Qin leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, Changxing nodded, and made a "please" gesture to Lu Youlin.

Out of the alley, a carriage was waiting there, Lu Youlin got into the carriage regardless of it, he knew that these people would not do anything to him, but who knew that as soon as he got into the carriage, the person who brought him said "offended", and slashed him on the back of his neck with a palm, and before he could scream, he tilted his head and fainted.

When he slowly woke up, the carriage had stopped in a strange place, and when he got out of the carriage, he tried to open his eyes, trying to see where it was, but it was dark everywhere, and he couldn't see anything, he must still be in the city, and he couldn't get out of the city at night, but the imperial capital was so big, even if he knew what was the use of being in the city? Can he save Qiu Niang and the child? Will these people let him go?

Just as he was thinking, the person who knocked him out said the word "please" to him.

In the room, Qiu Niang was sewing clothes by the light, he looked at it from a distance and knew that it was made for himself, and the piece of fabric was chosen by him personally.

Tears suddenly flowed down my face.

"Autumn Niang ......"

"Sir." Qiu Niang put down the work in her hand and greeted her with a smile.

"How did you get here?" Lu Youlin quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took her hand, looked back, and saw that no one was following, so he asked quietly.

Qiu Niang glanced at him a little strangely, "Didn't the master send someone to pick him up?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, look at my memory. They...... They didn't disrespect you, did they? ”

"No, sir, what's wrong with you?" Smelling the smell of wine on Lu Youlin's body, Qiu Niang drank too much as a master, and she was a little delirious.

Lu Youlin didn't dare to ask again, looked at the clothes on the table, and said with some sadness: "Don't do needlework at night in the future, I hurt my eyes carefully." ”

"They said that the master would come over later, and the concubine was bored waiting, so she put on a few stitches, and it was done, master, why don't you try?"

"Hmm."

Qiu Niang went over to collect the needle, unfolded her clothes, and put them on Lu Youlin's open arms, the length was moderate, the size was appropriate, Lu Youlin nodded with satisfaction, "Qiu Niang's craftsmanship is really good." ”

Qiu Niang listened to his praise, pursed her lips, and smiled gently.

"What about Xiaolong and Xiaohu?"

"When they heard that their father was coming, they were very happy, and they were waiting for the master with their concubines, but then they couldn't bear it anymore, so they went to sleep first."

"I'll go see them." (To be continued.) )
