Time seems to pass slowly.

It has been almost half a cup of tea since Luzhu shouted that the master was back, but he still didn't hear the sound of Jia Yidao returning to the backyard. In the dead of night, as long as there is a slight sound of footsteps, I am afraid that Luzhu has already screamed.

Xu Ruoxi knew that Lu Dao Luzhu and Chun Tao were guarding outside the door.

The two girls also seemed to know that the young lady tonight was a little out of shape, and none of them came in to chatter. The frightening scene that would happen in Jiafu in the afternoon really frightened the two little girls.

Xu Ruoxi is the hostess, and Lao Cai and the others can still obey Sun Kui's orders and dare not be too unscrupulous, but they don't have so many scruples about the maids in the house. And although the two daughters of Spring Peach and Green Bead are not rare in the world, they are definitely first-class appearances. What's more, the two daughters have been by Xu Ruoxi's side since they were children, but they are a little more calm and noble than the average small jasper, and they have too much dust and dust with those Qinglou women.

Who are the women that Lao Cai and the others usually see? Either it is a rural village woman, or a wild warbler in the green building, and Chun Tao and other women, the trembling color revealed in fear is too much to arouse the tyranny and desire for conquest in the hearts of those rough people.

Therefore, when facing Chun Tao and others, Lao Cai and others did not say anything about their verbal rudeness, just the eyes that wanted to devour their lives were enough to scare Chun Tao, Luzhu and other women who had been living in a peaceful and prosperous world from birth to sleepless.

Although the matter has now been resolved, and those people have become the prisoners of the master, the nightmare-like scene is in stark contrast to the current tranquility.

Not to mention, the two women saw Jia Yidao covered in blood. Let them deeply understand that in fact, even in this Lin'an City, it is not really singing and dancing, and death is just a line apart.

It's hard to describe what kind of mood it was in their hearts when Chun Tao and Lu Zhu and the others, who had fallen into despair, saw Jia Yidao, who was covered in blood, enter Jia's Mansion surrounded by a large number of soldiers and turn all the strongmen who seemed to want to eat them alive into prisoners. However, at least one thing is certain, that is, at that moment, the lord was like a god and Buddha in the sky to them, and it is needless to say that their hearts throbbed.

Such an old man, the change is too huge, more like a stranger.

Xu Ruoxi's complicated emotions are probably only felt most clearly by the two of them. However, the two of them didn't know what to do, Xu Ruoxi's brain had already turned into a mess in anxiety at the moment.

Time seems to be slowing down, though it is still moving forward without stopping. But the further you go, the deeper the night, the more anxious this anxiety becomes.

Everything that happened today, if it didn't really happen, Xu Ruoxi would never have thought that one day he would be so close to death, and it is more likely that even death would become a luxury.

From the time Sun Kui and the others appeared in the mansion, Xu Ruoxi knew what their purpose was. After all, Xu Ruoxi still knows very well what Jia Nidao, who has not returned since that night, is going to do.

Although he knew that the disaster of Lu Dao was caused by Jia Rudao, Xu Ruoxi did not have the slightest resentment in his heart. From the day he married into Jiafu, he was ready to follow Jia Yidao to have nothing in the struggle of the imperial court, weave and farm by himself, and even die without a place to be buried. Of course, this preparation gradually faded after she met Jia Yidao.

After all, Jia Rudao at that time would not be a good match for her at all.

She made all kinds of psychological preparations, killing herself, being released, being imprisoned, and even being abandoned. Still, things turned out to be much more than she expected. The husband who changed from illness not only saved her, but also wiped out those strongmen who had the absolute upper hand. The process was also unexpectedly bloody.

He has long been mentally prepared for the changes in him, but the gap between such changes is still a bit big.

Originally, she thought that after the events of that night, she had been able to mentally prepare for the rest of her life, so in the past ten days, although she had spent it in peace, she often imagined how she would live her life in the future when she was lying alone in bed in the dead of night, and how many children she would give birth to? Husband and wife? When will spring peaches and green beads be included in the house? Or maybe there will be other women entering this mansion, such as the Nalan girl who deliberately wanted to make her jealous that day...... And so on and so forth.

Xu Ruoxi thought a lot. But when Jia Rudao really returned to this mansion, she still found that the preparations she had made before still didn't seem to be very effective in the face of what was about to happen.

The crisp sound of banging came from afar, and the time had passed, and it was already ugly.

Is there any official business he still hasn't done? At the moment, I am in the study to deal with official business. This thought came to mind, and immediately an even bigger concern appeared: if he was still working in the study, would he think that he had already slept, and then rested in the study at night? So what should I do? Do you want to let Green Bead take a look?

……

All kinds of complicated and chaotic emotions filled her head, making her a little restless. He got up and walked back and forth a few steps, then sat down again; After finishing picking up the already cold teacup, and when he was about to drink it, he suddenly thought again, so late, could he have not eaten anything? Would you like to have some snacks prepared in the kitchen for him?

But doesn't that tell her that she hasn't slept in her room waiting for him? Thinking of this, unconsciously, a few faint touches flew up his face. She didn't realize that she hadn't had dinner herself.

Just when Xu Ruoxi was still hesitating whether to arrange for the kitchen to make some snacks and send them over, and by the way, to see if Jia Rudao was still working in the study, the sound of mixed footsteps sounded in the quiet backyard.

Xu Ruoxi's heart was suddenly shocked, and the voices of Green Bead and Chun Tao had already sounded.

"Little maid, I've seen the master!"

He's coming!

Xu Ruoxi hurriedly got up and walked two steps quickly, wanting to go back to the bed and lie down first, what would he think of himself if he saw that he hadn't slept yet? After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, thinking, if he saw who he was, would he feel that he didn't take him too seriously? He turned around and took two steps back.

When I looked up, I found that I didn't know when the door had been opened, and a strange and familiar face was looking at me with a smile at the door.

"Concubine...... The concubine was trying to ask Chun Tao to make some snacks for Xianggong. ”

Xu Ruoxi was a little flustered in her shyness, as if she was explaining, more like covering up for herself.

Looking at the neat clothes on Xu Ruoxi's body, who was a little flustered in his eyes, Jia Rudao's eyes became softer and softer.

This point hasn't slept yet, apparently waiting for him.

He knew what she was flustered about.

The words that Sun Kui said today would definitely reach Xu Ruoxi's ears. With Xu Ruoxi's temperament, maybe he won't even care about life and death, but there is only one thing, but he will definitely not care.

has been married for more than half a year, and the wife of the uncle is still a virgin.

She didn't care what others thought of her, but she would definitely think about how it would affect her if it got out.

Although Zheng Qingzhi, Yu Tianxi and others seemed to have deliberately ignored this matter, Jia Rudao knew that there were so many people present at the time, and this matter must have been spread.

"Wang Shan, Qiu Shang, Zhou Bo and others were injured, I just went to see them."

I wanted to tell her that he didn't care what others thought, but when the words came to his lips, Jia Rudao took it back. Such a situation is obviously not suitable for this topic.

As he spoke, Jia Rudao closed the door very naturally.

The spring peaches and green beads outside the door have long disappeared silently without knowing when the road will be.

"It's late at night, I brought back the snacks, and I heard Xiao Cui'er say that you haven't eaten since noon."

Jia Rudao said and raised his hand.

Xu Ruoxi only saw at this time that Jia Rudao was holding a food box in his hand. Bursts of aroma waft into the nose along the breeze created by the closing of the door.

As the aroma entered his nose, "gurgling", several indecent protests came from Xu Ruoxi's lower abdomen, which could be clearly heard in the silent room, making Xu Ruoxi embarrassed and almost wanted to find a hole to get into.

Jia Rudao looked at Xu Ruoxi, who seemed to be about to hang his head to his chest, smiled gently, walked to the round table, and opened the food box by himself. He just went to see Qiu Sheng and the others, who were lucky not to die, but there was one other thing to do, that is, the meal in this food box.

Four delicate side dishes, two dishes and chopsticks, and a pot of wine appeared on the round table.

"Don't stand, I'm hungry with my chest on my back." Jia Rudao said, stretched out his hand, and directly twisted a piece of side dish and threw it into his mouth.

Xu Ruoxi looked at Jia Rudao, who looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, her eyes flowing, gentle as water. She knew that he didn't want to embarrass herself too much.

"Ding!"

After a glass of water and wine, the seductive flush appeared on Xu Ruoxi's pretty face again. Putting down the wine glass, he found that Jia Rudao, who was sitting opposite, was staring at him with blazing eyes, which made Xu Ruoxi feel involuntarily panicked.

"You're scared today."

"Hmm......"

"I have already resigned from the post of general judge of Lin'an Mansion, and I guess I won't be busy every day in the future."

"Hmmm......"

"Are there any of those people that you particularly hate?"

“…… No. ”

"That's good, well, it's not early......" Hearing this, Xu Ruoxi, who was about to drink another cup with a light "um", suddenly became excited, and the breeze was blowing, but Jia Yidao had already gotten up from the opposite side and sat beside her.

A large, somewhat hot hand pressed against the slender palm of her glass. made her body stiffen suddenly, but she didn't dare to move.

"Have a drink."

"Hmm...... Yes? ”

Xu Ruoxi, who was a little confused, first hummed habitually, and then came back to his senses and let out a low coquettish call.
