Spring came late in the north, but Luzhou in March had already sent away the last cold spring.

Changyi Lane near Hefu is inhabited by a family of servants with heads and faces of the He family, and most of the children running around in the alley at dusk are dressed brightly to catch up with the spring scene because of the gift of the Lord's family.

The children's giggles were interspersed with a few thanks, bright and clean, and even a few little gluttonous cats stretched out their little hands again to Shuxiang's sister-in-law who delivered pastries.

Hui Xin, who was called Shuxiang's sister-in-law by the children, lowered her head and smiled, and flipped over the empty food plate in her hand. The children all cried out in regret, and then scattered like birds with wings.

"Huixin, you got the dim sum from the third lady, right? It's weird and delicious! I've never seen it before. A mother-in-law with a big belly smacked her lips and asked in a voice. Just now, she looked at the small dot in her boss's hand with a seductive color, but she took a bite first.

"Chef Hu from the kitchen made it. I think in a few days, your family will also bring it back from Miss Five. ”

"It's still the third lady who is the most favored! It's also that you have face in front of the third lady, and you can get any good things first. ”

Huixin lowered her head to eat and smile, the black lacquer tray in her hand revealed a quiet luster, and humbly said goodbye to the pot-bellied woman in front of her, squatted down and wrapped her hand in a handkerchief and gently picked up the small plate that had just been distributed to the children. The lotus green pastries and utensils were all given to her by Zhu's mother from He Minglan's room before.

She had already tested that neither the utensils nor the food contained any toxins. It's just that those who play with poison never eat the food prepared by other poisoners easily, and it is also prudent to use a silk handkerchief soaked in potion to take utensils.

Holding it in her hand, Hui Xin's lowered eyes caught a glimpse of the extra animal paw prints and mud spots on the hem of her cyan skirt, and she turned her head a little annoyedly and walked into her small courtyard.

Waiting for her to wash herself from head to toe, she seriously washed it with medicinal soup. It was already dark.

The stove was secretly lit in the kitchen, where the doors and windows were tightly closed, and the woman's right hand, wearing a gauntlet, touched the tray on the table and threw it into the fire, and then the skirt that was almost scratched by the little beast during the day......

It looks like the new dress that burned last fall was made with this one! Hui Xin stared at the claw marks on her skirt, and suddenly thought of the old days.

The day I burned my skirt last year. It's November 15.

During the day, she was sandwiched in the pile of servants, waiting for the daughters of the He family to go to Aoba Temple to burn incense.

He Minglan, who had been instigated by the Li family to draw a marriage lot, lost her temper and ran away in shame, and drank the maids around her, only bringing her mother to follow, and gradually deviated. Mother Qi, who met her goddaughter halfway, squeezed her eyes at Chong Huixin, and whispered to her to find a cloak for the third lady.

When she took the cloak, she saw the fourteen-year-old girl who was about to marry into the future "first family in the world". He Mingqi held the signature and another signing paper he asked for for his fiancé on the expedition, and his face was excited. When she recognized the cloak in her hand, she was even more delighted to go to her sister, and couldn't wait to share it. Or show off?

Originally, he took He Mingqi to leave everyone on a detour, wanting to deliberately please the future daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, to see if she would get blue eyes, and to try to be a companion when she got married. But that thought, he led He Mingqi to find the tower where Minglan was alone, but he was led to something.

Hui Xin remembered clearly that she and Zhu's mother were guarding outside the building at that time, and when she deliberately listened, she could still hear the disputes between the sisters inside.

"Sister! Mother asked me to draw lots for you. Zhongping, the unsigned said that good things are more grinding. If you want to get married, you may have to wait for your sister to return. But it doesn't matter. When I marry into the Xiao family, I will ask Lord Guogong to help you find a good family. ”

"It doesn't matter? He Mingqi, I don't need you to do much. Just don't hurt me again! ”

Knowing that his marriage was ruined on one of his sister's mouths, He Minglan wiped past Mingqi with a cold face, and raised her arms to push the girl who was in the way.

The paper fell with the momentum. The figure that rolled down from the staircase lay motionless on the ground, and between a blur of light and shadow, He Minglan hurriedly pulled Qi's mother to escape......

The bluffed Hui Xin was stunned for a while, then tiptoed into the building, squatted down, and looked at He Mingqi's injuries.

A hand clutching for help clung desperately to the hem of his skirt. So I had to break the injured girl's fingers one by one, pick up the long needle inserted in the hairline and stab it at the top of the black hair. Then, the girl's body was moved outside the building, and a few small belongings were thrown to the fifth floor of the highest floor of the Futu Tower, and a dangerous fence was smashed with stones......

Then, it is the well-known fact that Miss He Si lost her way and fell to her death from a tall building.

"Miss Mingqi, Huixin can't help it. Human fate is destined, you who have been disabled at that time, even if Xiao Jiaken wants to be a waste. It's better to give up the good opportunity to the third lady. ”

Thinking about He Minglan's nightmare that she was trapped in it for half a year and couldn't extricate herself, Hui Xin threw the skirt in her hand similar to the one stained with Mingqi's bloody fingers last year into the fire without hesitation, raised her hand to cover her lips and giggled, "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, Miss He Si wants to find someone to take revenge, so she still found the sister who pushed you downstairs." As soon as your Qi decline passes, she will marry into the Xiao family on your behalf. ”

The crackling fire light is like a spirit attached, and in an instant, clusters of blazing flames rise, and the food and clothes that are being burned are instantly crumpled into ashes, and the fragrance is faint......

The upper room of the He family's guest house is brightly lit inside and out.

At the desk outside, a young man with a frown on his brow stared at the ink on his hand, as if he was delving into profound knowledge.

The door curtain moved slightly, Xiao Hong looked at the small bridge that Xiang Manyun had finished returning to him, bowed to him and floated away, took a long sigh of relief, closed the scroll that had been stopped for a long time, blew out the candle on the table, and hurriedly squeezed into the inner room.

"Is there enough manpower? Would you like to leave you a few more? As soon as he stretched out his arms, Xiao Hong picked up his wife sitting on the dressing chair and moved it to the couch as if she were waiting for a treasure.

"Don't even ask me what I'm going to do, dare to keep someone for me? I'm not afraid I'm going to kill people and set fires. Man Yun, who was already accustomed to being raided, stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Hong's cheek, and instantly smiled and bent his eyebrows.

"Zhou Manyun! If you really want to fight and kill, let me come! It's been said a long time ago! He grabbed the little tender hand on his face and bit his fingers one by one in his mouth. The young man's voice was full of dissatisfaction.

"You don't have to fight and kill. I just asked Xiaoqiao to arrange for a few people to keep an eye on the two of them. They also reported the news to Luojing, and then Lu Shou came back from Xiakou to take care of this matter, or it was directly picked up by the eldest brother, and it was none of our business. ”

According to the news from Xiaoqiao's sneaking tracks, there must be something wrong with Huixin, who is acting strangely. As a young son-in-law who will be targeted if she makes too many gestures, Man Yun thinks about if the situation continues. It's best to be able to clean yourself and your husband. Anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with He Minglan at all.

"Now that the matter is done, let's rest early! I'm going to be on my way early tomorrow morning. With the words, the candlelight on the side of the couch was also extinguished at once.

There was a peaceful silence in the dark night, and the man who said that he was going to leave early was extremely honest, only holding Man Yun tightly in his arms, and his breathing was long and soft.

Zhou Manyun stared at his round eyes for a while. I couldn't help but lower my voice, and gently pinched the arm that was pressing on my side, "Xiao Hong!" Don't you even ask me who I asked Xiaoqiao to target? ”

The eyes that were originally tightly closed and brewing sleepiness opened and fixed on the blurred face in the dark, Xiao Hong smiled toothily and said, "Do you need to ask?" He Minglan: Right? Last night, who was the woman who insisted that I honestly confess the details of going north with the He sisters? And who is the one who takes amethyst to someone's yard during the day to make trouble? ”

"Yes! I'm just going to He Minglan to make trouble! Manyun pursed his pout, and said negatively: "I ran directly to tell her without grace that Xiao Liu is my person." Let her not worry about it, and marry someone else early. also viciously poisoned her. He sent someone to keep an eye on her, and when there was only the slightest movement, he directly poisoned her......"

Aijiao opened and closed, and the two petals that highlighted the target in the dark were sucked into his mouth by the young man laughing, and it took a long time before he reluctantly let go.

"Zhou Manyun, you are like this. I like it so much. Xiao Liu is my person?! Uncontrollable giggles spilled endlessly from Xiao Hong's chest, and his eyes were bright and sweet. Compared with the old kind of dead virtue that you love to go and love to stay, a woman who is willing to make a fool of herself is really cute.

"I don't think I'm narrow-minded. Vicious and jealous? ”

"You didn't really kill her now! If it's really harmful to you, you don't have to wait for you to make a move. Xiao Hong stroked Man Yun's long hair stuck to his cheeks, and laughed in a low voice: "I told you that when I was a child, I used to hunt beasts in the Black Mountain and the wasteland. In fact, the most difficult beasts to mess with are the female. ”

"What do you mean?" , Zhou Manyun grabbed her husband's thin underwear in confusion.

"The black wolf of the wasteland, before giving birth, will patrol the wolf's den for at least ten miles, and when it encounters a potential enemy, it will be ferocious, and will drive the threat out of its territory without biting it to death." Thinking of Man Yun's vow to adjust for the birth of a child a few days ago, Xiao Hong's eyes were soft, and he put it in his wife's ear, and said softly: "Man Yun! Don't be so nervous, I really won't put you in any danger and I won't let any woman be your enemy. ”

No, but it can't be guaranteed when there is a lack of spare energy. No matter how fierce the male beast is, it will be taken away by the hunter by a momentary mistake.

Not wanting to say something unpleasant, Zhou Manyun simply flattened his mouth, reached out to his clothes reluctantly, and scratched Xiao Hong's sturdy chest and abdomen with his delicate little paws as if he were retaliating, "Xiao Xiaoliu, you dare to laugh at me like a she-wolf!" She-wolf?! See how I tickle you......"

The sturdy and sturdy body couldn't help but feel numb and soft under waves of torture, and the uncontrollable laughter was sandwiched with a bit of pain of forbearance.

The young husband took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to clench his wife's hands under him, "No! I'm going to be on the road tomorrow, and I can't toss around. ”

"From now until you return to Yunzhou, are you sure you have to cultivate?" , Thinking of the doctor's advice relayed by Xiao Hong, Zhou Manyun smiled more like a fishy cat, and while teasing, he squeezed his body closer, and said in a flattering voice: "Actually...... Husband, I think my body is really recovering well. ”

"Zhou Manyun! Be honest! Otherwise, I'll get out now! ”

The woman who was frightened by Xiao Hong's serious tone immediately lay down obediently, as if she was standing on a stickerboard, holding her breath, not daring to make any more unusual moves.

During the long night, it was impossible to tell which of the woman with the stove or the man with the soft pillow had fallen asleep first.

At the beginning of the morning, a convoy slowly drove out of the capital city of Luzhou.

In the carriage with steady steps, Zhou Manyun nestled comfortably in her husband's arms, and her dream was in full swing...... (To be continued......)
