Chapter 163: Concealment

Qingmo gradually left traces on the letterhead, and wrote into An Xiabai's thoughts on his heart one by one.

She lowered her face and tried to control her hands so as not to tremble too much as she wrote.

In the end, because her mood fluctuated too much, by the time she finished writing the letter and wrote down all the recent events on the paper, her clothes were already wet with sweat.

An Xiabai almost shed tears, if it weren't for the sudden sound of knocking on the door, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold back her tears.

She tried to adjust her mood and said to the people outside the door: "The door is not closed, just push it in." ”

Outside the door, Zhou Shi answered, and directly pushed the door in.

It turned out that An Xiabai went directly into the study for too long after she came back, and she was afraid that something would happen, so she came over to take a look, and by the way, she took Xiaodong and Xiaoxue over and called An Xiabai to go to the dining room to eat: "The meals are ready, it's hot now, hurry up——"

Zhou's words came to an abrupt end, just because An Xiabai's look was not quite right.

"Why are your eyes so red?" She keenly noticed that An Xiabai's face was wrong.

Under inquiry, I only got An Xiabai's faint sentence that it was okay: "When I was in the restaurant today, there were too many guests to be busy, so I went to the back kitchen to help, but I accidentally choked on the chili pepper when I was stir-frying, and I couldn't hold back the pain so I shed some tears." It doesn't matter. ”

Zhou was very nervous: "How can this not matter, you have to wash your eyes well." ”

"It's really fine, I've washed it." An Xiabai smiled disappreciatively, and then picked up Xiaoxue in Zhou's puzzled gaze.

Since she insisted that she was fine, it was difficult for Zhou to say anything more.

"Blame me for not having any skills, if I could cook those delicious meals, or have other skills, you wouldn't have to work so hard now."

Her self-blaming look fell on An Xiabai's eyes, she quickly shook her head, and said sincerely: "Aunt Zhou can help bring Xiaodong and Xiaoxue, it's very good for me, if it weren't for Aunt Zhou's you, I guess I wouldn't be able to be distracted to deal with the affairs of the restaurant, and I can probably only take care of the children at home." ”

An Xiabai's sincere praise made Zhou a little embarrassed.

One of them left the study and walked to the dining room with a child in their arms, thinking that Lu Liuer would arrive earlier than them, but when they arrived at the place, there was no one.

"Why hasn't Liu'er come yet?" An Xiabai asked suspiciously.

"I just asked someone to call her over for dinner." Zhou also felt puzzled, and when he found the person who had just asked for help, he found out that Lu Liuer did not appear at the dinner table on time because she was not feeling well and did not want to eat.

Zhou frowned tightly, and a worried look appeared on his face: "I'll go see her, you eat first." ”

An Xiabai breathed heavily, and wanted to stop it, but there was no excuse to stop it, so he could only nod helplessly.

As long as the Zhou family went, the worry in An Xiabai's heart lasted for as long as it lasted.

Lu Liuer's mind is too simple compared to her, and her sadness is too obvious, An Xiabai is afraid that after Zhou's past inquiry, Lu Liuer can't help but leak her mouth.

It wasn't until Zhou walked back with a half-frowning brow that his worries were relieved.

An Xiabai asked with concern: "How is Liu'er's condition, is she particularly unwell, do you want us to ask someone to invite a doctor to take a look at Liu'er?" ”

Zhou waved his hand again and again: "I went over to ask her just now, and I didn't say anything wrong with my body, I just said that I was tired and wanted to rest early today, I guess I was tired when I was helping in the restaurant." It doesn't matter, I'll ask someone to leave her some food and eat it herself when she's hungry, and we'll eat our own first. ”

It seems that Lu Liuer didn't say it.

An Xiabai let her go.

She was sad and sad about the news from the border pass, and even couldn't hold back her tears a few times, but Feng Bailin was very happy.

"Are you telling the truth? The border war is urgent, and General Lu was counterattacked by the enemy when he led his troops to ambush, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead? Feng Bailin's eyes were as bright as falling into the stars.

He knew that it was not a good thing that the border war was urgent, but when he thought that Lu Li did not know whether he was alive or dead, he couldn't help but be happy.

The little guy who came to report the news didn't expect him to be happy about this, and his expression suddenly became strange: "It's true, the villain has a brother who is fighting at the border pass, saying that this time the losses are heavy, General Lu brought out 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the number of people who came back was only one-tenth, and the battle was very miserable." ”

After all, he was the prince of the imperial court, and the little guy deliberately exaggerated the war scenes, wanting to arouse Feng Bailin's other emotions.

As a result, he never expected that Feng Bailin not only did not change his mood in the slightest, but even began to laugh out loud without scruples.

The little guy's face became more complicated.

In the end, it was Feng Bailin's personal guard who spoke, so that he could contain his emotions.

"Your Highness, the border war is urgent, you should be nervous."

Even if you're not nervous, it's better to pretend to be dignified than to be happy now.

"Oh nervous, I'm going to be nervous?" Feng Bailin didn't care, "Lu Li is not my friend, nor is it my family, and I didn't defeat the battle, why should I be nervous?" ”

Feng Bailin felt that he should be happy at this time.

His gaze turned to the little guy who came to report the news: "General Lu is really dead?" ”

Xiao Wu shuddered suddenly, shook his head and said: "The specific news has not come yet, but the people at the border pass are rumored that General Lu failed to escape from the encirclement. ”

Feng Bailin almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The war was urgent, the general was defeated, and it was not enough for him to be happy, and he even ordered someone to take silver taels as a reward and send them to the hands of the little servant. And then they sent them away.

"Your Highness, if you act like this, if it reaches the emperor's ears, it will definitely cause Long Yan to be angry." The guard sighed.

He thought that his words could be exchanged for Feng Bailin's awakening, but he didn't expect that the other party just glared at him fiercely.

"Don't use my father's attitude to pressure me, Lu Li's defeat in the battle is not my idea." At this moment, Feng Bailin only had An Xiabai in his heart, "If he really dies at the border pass, Mrs. Lu, no, An Xiabai will no longer be his wife, and I will have the opportunity to pursue my sweetheart." ”

The more Feng Bailin thought about it, the happier he became: "Sure enough, God treats me well, and our encounter is not an accident." ”

The guard silently rolled his eyes in his heart, but he didn't dare to really say anything about it.

After all, Feng Bailin is his master, no matter how he is, he can't act against his master's wishes, right?

So he chose to be silent and stood quietly by listening to Feng Bailin's so-called pursuit plan.

"Bianguan is high-level, presumably Xia Bai doesn't know yet, even if she knows, it doesn't matter, I just need to appear by her side tomorrow and take the opportunity to comfort her when she is sad." He thought about An Xiabai's possible reaction, and thought about what words to use to move An Xiabai's heart.

Feng Bailin's scheming expression fell into the eyes of the guards, and he finally couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Your Highness, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Feng Bailin glanced at him, because he was in a happy mood, so he didn't plan to worry more about him: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

After the guard was silent for a moment, he looked at death as if he were at home and said, "If Your Highness wants to go to the restaurant tomorrow to comfort Mrs. Lu, it is best to learn how to restrain your emotions." ”

In today's border sealing forest, the corners of his mouth are going to the sky.

Feng Bailin touched his cheek lightly and muttered to himself: "That's right, if I want to go to see Xia Bai tomorrow and comfort her by the way, I first have to make her feel that I am sad about Lu Li's affairs, and I really want to comfort her, otherwise if I grin and talk to her, it is estimated that she will not even want to let me in at the door of the restaurant." ”

Seeing that his master finally opened his mind, the guard was a little happy: "When His Royal Highness goes to the restaurant tomorrow, he will restrain his emotions a little in order to gain Mrs. Lu's trust." ”

Feng Bailin nodded, and his gaze turned to him: "I'm not very good at this, you can teach me how to restrain my emotions." ”

The guard complained bitterly, but he had to agree with a calm face.

Feng Bailin's study did not end until the early morning of the second day.

As soon as it was dawn, the exhaustion and sleepiness on Feng Bailin's body were suddenly swept away, and he couldn't wait to rush to the restaurant, just to arrive before An Xiabai.

At this time, the person he was thinking about had just gotten up, and he was struggling with whether to go to the restaurant.

"How's Liu'er doing?" An Xiabai walked quickly into Lu Liu'er's room.

The doctor was treating the pale Lu Liu'er, and after hearing about Dongjing Town, he just glanced back.

"I have a fever, I guess I caught a cold yesterday," the doctor packed up his medicine box and said as he moved, "I'll prescribe a prescription to ward off the cold, let her take the medicine according to the prescription, and she will be cured in her life." ”

"Thank you, doctor." Zhou thanked him again and again, and then slowly took the doctor to the direction of the study.

An Xiabai walked quickly to Lu Liu'er's bedside, half-frowned and said, "If Aunt Zhou hadn't found out that you didn't get up on time this morning and went in to take a look, you wouldn't have told others that you were not feeling well, would you?" ”

When Zhou suddenly rushed to her room this morning and said that Lu Liu'er had a fever, An Xiabai was really frightened.

Yesterday, Lu Liuer said that she was not feeling well, and she thought it was just a rhetoric to deal with the Zhou family.

"Blame myself for being careless," Lu Liuer coughed and said, "I can't go to the restaurant today, it seems that today's restaurant matter will be troubled by my sister-in-law herself." ”

is still worried about other people's things in her illness, An Xiabai really doesn't know whether she should be intimate or dead-eyed.

"I'm here in the restaurant, you just take care of your body at home, don't worry." An Xiabai thought that she had come over like this, and now she would not be able to work hard for a day or two, and now she was more worried than the matter of the restaurant, what Lu Liuer said at home that she couldn't help but talk to Zhou.

Lu Liu'er saw her half-frowning expression, as if she understood her doubts, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I won't tell my mother about the border when I am recuperating at home, my mother has not been in good health recently, I know the severity, you just have to rest assured." ”
