"Father, Xiya didn't mean to do this, someone poisoned the food, this time it was to poison Xian'er, next time, maybe the poison will come at the father, if you don't catch the murderer, the son is really uncomfortable." Xiao Jingqing secretly changed his concept and shifted the spearhead of this matter.

He understands that his father is ruthless, selfish, and ruthless to others, and he will only be moved as long as his own interests are involved.

"What do you mean?" Marquis Xiao sat up.

"Father, we have such a big move in the capital, it is impossible for the emperor not to know, presumably he has also planted secret agents next to his father, it is better to take this opportunity to arrest all suspicious people and eliminate hidden dangers, and this time there is a good excuse, even if the emperor knows, he can't say anything?" Xiao Jingqing quickly thought of an excuse.

"Okay, just do as you say, my son is very good, originally I thought that if you married Zhou Xiya, people would become confused, but now seeing you so calm, I am very relieved to be a father, Jingqing, you remember, as a man, you must not let women restrain you, women will always be our men's playthings, for us to reproduce heirs, we must not be too affectionate, we must always remain calm and ruthless." Marquis Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, the son obeys his father's teachings." Xiao Jingqing replied respectfully, but he felt cold in his heart, he didn't want to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person like his father, such a person has nothing but rights, he has never paid sincerity to others, how can he exchange the sincerity of others, even the people next to the pillow can't believe it, what is the meaning of such a life, the height is too cold, and he is lonely.

"Let's go down," Marquis Xiao waved his hand. Xiao Jingqing stepped back.

After watching his son go out, Marquis Xiao asked the maid beside him, "What do you think of my son?" ”

The maids around him are all carefully selected, and after a while, the most outstanding one is selected as a concubine, and this woman is her concubine, but she hasn't gone back to tell her wife.

"The second son is naturally good, the tiger father has no dogs, the second son is deeply taught by the Hou Ye, he is cautious and wise. It's a model for all sons. The maid picked up the nice words and said.

"Jingqing is good. It's a pity that he is too assertive, just now I said, he may not be able to hear much, knowing the son is more than the father. That kid is a lover. The Xiao family has been heroic and martyred from generation to generation. But it's out of him, this kid has been around for so many years, and he is not close to women. I was forced to marry Li before, and I was afraid that he would be pinched by that Zhou Xiya in the future. Marquis Xiao muttered to himself.

This second son is not easy to control, although he is slight, but it is not very reassuring, or the eldest son is obedient.

The maid no longer spoke, these things were not something she could participate in as an identity.

Xiao Jingqing arranged the things outside, returned to the room, and saw that Zhou Xiya was coaxing her daughter to take medicine, but the medicine was bitter and Xian'er refused to drink it, crying very much, she had been crying for a long time before, and now her voice was even more hoarse.

"Hao Xian'er, if you drink the medicine, your stomach will hurt, let's drink it in one go, and my mother will feed you candied fruit." Zhou Xiya coaxed her daughter distressedly.

But this girl cried so much that she couldn't listen to what she said, she just covered her stomach and let Jinxiu hold her, and she didn't look at Zhou Xiya.

"Hard-pour." Xiao Jingqing walked over, hugged his daughter, and controlled her struggling little body.

Zhou Xiya nodded, poured a spoon into her daughter, the medicinal juice flowed down the corners of her mouth, Xian'er's big tears fell, she looked at Xiao Jingqing pitifully, and cried out to her father one after another.

"Xian'er, you're alright, Daddy will take you to play, let's go horseback riding, okay." Xiao Jingqing was ruthless and motioned for Zhou Xiya to pour again.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pour the medicine into it, and both of them were sweating.

After drinking the medicine, Zhou Xiya hurriedly stuffed a piece of candied fruit into her daughter's mouth, hoping that her daughter would not cry.

Xian'er stretched out her little hand to ask Zhou Xiya to hug her, she didn't look for her father anymore, her father was bad.

"Okay Xian'er, just drink the medicine." Zhou Xiya picked up the child and patted her back, smiled at Xiao Jingqing, look, offended the child, I won't look for you.

Xiao Jingqing wiped the non-existent sweat on his head, "Xian'er can have diarrhea again just now?" ”

"I've made trouble twice, Xian'er's stomach should be empty, I hope I can get better after drinking the medicine." Zhou Xiya is looking forward to the effectiveness of the medicine as soon as possible.

Coaxed for a while, Zhou Xiya sat on the bed, took a blanket and wrapped the child, Xian'er was tossed for so long, she was also tired, fell asleep, and still had that piece of candied fruit in her mouth, Xiao Jingqing carefully took it out for her.

"Don't you blame me for being so popular." Zhou Xiya only then had time to talk to Xiao Jingqing, when Xiao Jingqing went out, she already knew what Xiao Jingqing had done for her from Jinxiu's mouth, if it wasn't for Xiao Jingqing coming forward, she didn't know what kind of harsh punishment she would receive.

"You and I are husband and wife, Xian'er is also my child, she was hurt, how could I, a father, watch it, there are some things I can turn a blind eye to, but I will never tolerate such a thing as a child, you may not know, my mother gave birth to a younger brother after me, who died at the age of three, and that child was the hand of the woman in the backyard, but it was against my eldest brother, I watched my mother die in pain, and my father turned a blind eye, because in his laws, Only survival of the fittest, hehe, isn't it ridiculous, his romance, but let my mother and younger brother bear the consequences, I am not my father, I hope my inner courtyard is clean, there is no such struggle, if anyone dares to stretch out his hand, I will not be spared. Xiao Jingqing talked about some of the past.

Zhou Xiya looked at him deeply, she didn't know that Xiao Jingqing had so many things hidden in her heart, maybe she really didn't know him.

"Why do you look at me like this, do you feel sorry for me, don't you worry, your man is very strong, he can support your mother and daughter, Xiya, if I marry you, I will be sincere to you, I hope you treat me sincerely, and my wish is enough." Xiao Jingqing held Zhou Xiya's hand, the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a smile.

"Didn't anyone tell you that your smile was ugly." There were some things that Zhou Xiya couldn't say, so she had to make a joke.

"Who dares to say that about me except you. They wish I could give me a smile. Xiao Jingqing smiled unabated, he knew that his efforts these days had paid off.

"Why, you still want to laugh at it." Seeing that her daughter was sleeping peacefully, Zhou Xiya was also in the mood to joke.

"I only smile at you."

――――――――

It's a pity that the hearts of the two have not been put down, and the daughter began to have stomach troubles again, and the two hurriedly worked, and when they didn't close their eyes all night, they fed her medicine again in the middle of the night. In the second half of the night, Xian'er began to have a fever again. Zhou Xiya, who was in a hurry, was about to cry.

Xiao Jingqing urged the doctor vigorously.

The interrogation in the inn continued, although it was midnight, but the inn was brightly lit, and the guards of the Zhou family and the Xiao family were all from the military. I don't know what gentleness is. But the one who was interrogated was guilty.

Li Aoxue, who was in the room, also had trouble sleeping. Her maid was taken away, and she was very worried that the maid would not be able to withstand the torture and recruit her.

After hesitating, Li Aoxue walked out of the room. came to the room where Zhou Xiya lived, Zhou Xiya and Xiao Jingqing were guarding the child in the house, and Jinxiu was changing the child's handkerchief to cool down, and he was busy.

"Is Xian'er better?" Li Aoxue walked over, glanced at Xian'er, whose face was flushed, and asked.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Jingqing turned around and saw that it was Li Aoxue, and he was a little dissatisfied.

"I know that Xian'er has an accident, how can I not come and take a look, but I was afraid that the house was too chaotic before, so I didn't come over, don't you look quieter, I'll come over to visit." Li Aoxue protected her stomach, looking afraid that someone would bump into her.

"The child is fine, you go back, just take care of yourself." Xiao Jingqing spoke a little unkindly.

"But the child is blushing, is it really okay? Is it a fever, this kid has a terrible fever, and it is easy to burn into a fool. Li Aoxue saw that Zhou Xiya's face was not good, and continued to stimulate her.

As if feeling that she had said too much, Li Aoxue covered her mouth and looked at Zhou Xiya with a cold face with a slight apology.

"You're talking too much, go back." Xiao Jingqing was a little impatient, he didn't like women chattering the most.

"Why, my child is sick, are you very proud? I'm strange, I'm looking for the murderer who hurt my child outside, why didn't I arrest you and torture you, this Mama Zhou is really unfavorable, I ordered it, as long as there is a trace of suspicion, it must be arrested" Zhou Xiya looked directly at Li Aoxue.

"What do you mean? I want to see who dares to arrest me, Zhou Xiya, don't spew blood, your daughter is dying, just take someone else's anger. Li Aoxue was annoyed and angry.

"Who do you say is going to die?" Zhou Xiya grabbed Li Aoxue's neck.

"Alright, you two don't mess around." Xiao Jingqing pulled the two people apart.

Xiao Jingqing was thinking about how to resolve this trouble, Mama Zhou and her guards walked in, Xiao Jingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "How is the matter investigated?" ”

Mama Zhou glanced at Zhou Xiya before saying: "I have checked all the pharmacies in this town, and there is one that sold some crotons this evening, which was sold to a beggar, and we have found the beggar, he said that a woman with a face towel gave him money to buy it." ”

"Hehe, so I don't know who bought it?" Li Aoxue smiled and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Cuizhi was doing things quite safely.

"Madame is wrong about what she said, the beggar said that the woman's accent is not local, but more like a southerner, and the two of them also talked about the woman's headdress and clothes." Xiao Jingqing's guard explained.

"How can a beggar hear the accent of what it is, where he has been, and can he believe what he says?" Li Aoxue said disdainfully.

"That beggar is not a local beggar, he has also been in the south before, so I heard that the woman's accent is Yingtian, and the headdress he narrated is the headdress of Cuizhi next to Mrs. Li, although she changed her clothes, but the headdress has not changed, she is still recognized by the beggar, and Cuizhi has confessed, it is indeed the croton she went to buy." The guard continued.

"What else do you have to say now?" Zhou Xiya looked at Li Aoxue.

"Impossible, you guys are beating up into a trick" Li Aoxue shouted, her voice was very loud, I don't know if it is to improve my confidence to speak.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Scared? I don't think it's you. Zhou Xiya approached Li Aoxue step by step, and Li Aoxue stepped back step by step.

"I want to see Cuizhi, you are deliberately framing me, I want to see Cuizhi." Li Aoxue is in a dying struggle.

"Bring someone up, so that she may die." Zhou Xiya waved her hand.

Soon, Cuizhi, who was full of learning, was brought up, and Li Aoxue took a step back in fright when she looked at Cuizhi's appearance.

"Master save me?" Cuizhi had blood at the corner of her mouth, crawling to grab Li Aoxue's skirt.

"Cuizhi, how can you do such a thing, you don't want to think about yourself, you have to think about your family, how dare you poison you." Li Aoxue held Cuizhi's hand hard and looked at her deeply, hoping that Cuizhi could understand what she meant, and now she could only abandon the army to protect the commander.

The light in Cuizhi's eyes dimmed, she lay on the ground, and smiled, "It's me, it's me who poisoned it, it's because I can't see the second young master treating the master like this, my whole family's life was saved by the master, and I want to repay the master's kindness, so I'm going to get rid of that child, all of this is done by me, it has nothing to do with my master, don't wronged my master, master, Cuizhi is useless, and I'll come to you again in the next life." The words fell and bit off his tongue hard.

The guards couldn't stop it, and Cuizhi died

"Ah......" Li Aoxue screamed in fright, and her eyes were full of pictures of Cuizhi biting her tongue and her mouth full of blood.

Zhou Xiya shook her head, it's a pity, it's a slave who protects the master.

"Let's take people down," Xiao Jingqing waved his hand.

"Li Aoxue, now you are satisfied." Zhou Xiya walked up to Li Aoxue and slapped her hard, waking her up.

"I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't do anything." Li Aoxue pushed Zhou Xiya away and ran out.

"Xiya......" Xiao Jingqing looked at Zhou Xiya, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't be as ruthless as his father, he could be at ease among women, and any woman who made him dissatisfied would be killed.

That's why I'm so embarrassed now.

"I'm tired, now I just pray for Xian'er's safety" Zhou Xiya walked to the side of the bed with a calm face and looked at her daughter.

Xiao Jingqing's least favorite thing to see is Zhou Xiya's expressionless face, if she gets angry with herself, or even scolds herself, it means that she still cares, but now that she is so cold, there seems to be a ditch between him and Zhou Xiya, and the feelings that he had cultivated so hard before have disappeared at this moment, which is not what he wants.

"Xiya, I'll give you an explanation." Xiao Jingqing hugged Zhou Xiya and turned to leave.

"Miss...... I can't complain about my uncle, there are many women, and there are no people who die in vain in a wealthy compound, but don't break your heart with your uncle. Mama Zhou hurriedly persuaded.

"The heart is not together, how can you leave the heart?" Zhou Xiya smiled bitterly.

"Miss!" Mama Zhou stomped her feet anxiously, how could Miss be happy if she went on like this. (To be continued.) )
