Lu Qiaohui died, and the news shocked Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan.

On the way back, Xiao Wenxuan and Su Muling said that they met Lu Qiaohui on the way to Qizhou, and they almost fell in love with her. Later, Wuying personally escorted her back to Yao's house, which was in addition to the big trouble.

But only a few months later, Lu Qiaohui died. I have to say that it was very unexpected and disappointed.

"How did she die?" Su Muling asked.

"I heard that I went out to buy something and was robbed. By the time he found him, he was dead, and he died a terrible death, and his face was smashed beyond recognition. ”

Liu Baimao didn't know the rights and wrongs between Su Muling and Lu Qiaohui, he only knew that Yao Junnan ascended to the sky in one step and entered Beijing and became an official, and he also married his daughter-in-law and was the only daughter of a big official. But it didn't take long for Yao Junnan to come back.

According to the gossip brought back by an acquaintance who came back from the capital, Yao Junnan let the emperor know because of his misconduct in the capital, stripped him of his official position and drove him out of the capital, and his father-in-law was also dismissed because of greed.

As soon as this news came out, Liu Baimao, who was still envious and jealous, was a lot happier in his heart, and Jiang Ziru specially invited him to drink because of this, celebrating that God has eyes, and he didn't make the ruthless person proud.

"Yao Junnan, his ups and downs are completely the result of his ambition and refusal to be down-to-earth." Xiao Wenxuan summed it up for him.

If he didn't have the heart to compare at the beginning, and went down to earth with his talents, there would be a great future waiting for him. It's a pity that he wants to ascend to the sky in one step and get involved with Lu Qiaohui, and now the result is that he is to blame.

"Mu Ling, there's another thing I don't know how to tell you, but it just so happens that you're back."

Dong Luzhu looked at Su Muling with a mysterious smile. Without waiting for her to ask, she couldn't help but continue:

"Do you remember Qi Baoqin?"

Su Muling listened, and a young girl with a round face, round eyes, and a chubby figure appeared in front of her.

Qi Baoqin used to be a close friend of Su Muling and Dong Luzhu, but there has been no news since she and her mother went to Quanzhou Mansion to join relatives because of family changes two years ago.

"Of course you remember, you have news of her?" Su Muling saw Dong Luzhu's excitement that she couldn't hide the matter, and knew that she must have something to break up.

"She's back." Dong Luzhu smiled wantonly.

"Really? When was this? How long has it been since you came back? Is she married? Shall we make an appointment to see her? ”

The news of Qi Baoqin's return greatly surprised Su Muling. When Qi Baoqin just left, several of them still exchanged letters, and later, Qi Baoqin stopped writing, Su Muling guessed that she should have something unspeakable, so although she hadn't seen her for more than two years, she still missed it.

"Look at you, you're all princesses, and you're still so breathless."

Su Muling's series of questions made Dong Luzhu laugh at her.

"She came back when the Chinese New Year was approaching and lived in Fulin Lane. If I tell her one more thing, you'll be surprised. ”

Dong Luzhu was so excited that her eyes lit up and she pulled her and said:

"She's going to get married soon, do you know which family she's going to marry?"

Which one? Su Muling's eyes widened, how did she know.

"It's the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family? Which Jiang family? Su Muling was still in a daze.

Liu Baimao, who was chatting with Xiao Wenxuan on the side, heard their conversation half-heartedly and couldn't help but interject:

"It's Jiang Ziru who liked you at the beginning. When he heard that you had divorced, he proposed to his father and mother to join the Su family, and his father was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and was later locked up. Later, you went to the capital to reconcile with the prince, and Jiang Ziru died of his heart. ”

Su Muling saw that Liu Baimao had no scruples about mentioning the past in front of Xiao Wenxuan, and instinctively looked at Xiao Wenxuan with a grieving face.

She leaned over to Xiao Wenxuan and quietly grabbed his hand under the table. Xiao Wenxuan pinched her back with vinegar.

Liu Baimao didn't see the small movements of the two, and continued: "On the way back from Qi Baoqin and her widowed mother a year ago, they met road thieves, and they happened to be caught up by the Jiang Ziru brothers to save them. Unexpectedly, the two of them looked at each other and achieved this marriage. ”

"Yes, Qi Baoqin came back and asked you, when do you have time for us to go see her?" Dong Luzhu is full of expectations, and it is not easy for the three girlfriends to get together.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow." Su Muling was excited, if it wasn't too late, she couldn't wait to go right away.

That night, Su Muling sent someone to Qi's house to hand over the name card and make an appointment to visit the next day.

Early the next morning, Su Muling threw Xiao Wenxuan at home after breakfast, and took Liu's mother to pick up the Liu family to pick up Dong Luzhu.

Walking through the streets and alleys, the carriage stopped in a remote alley.

The mother and daughter of the Qi family, who had been waiting at the door early, stepped forward to kneel down and salute Su Muling: "The Qi family brought the little girl Baoqin to the princess to say goodbye." ”

Su Muling hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up.

"Mrs. Qi, please get up, Baoqin, don't be polite." As she spoke, Su Muling's eyes moistened.

Seeing that Su Muling was still treating her affectionately as always, Qi Baoqin's excited tears couldn't help but flow.

Let people into the house, Mrs. Qi excused herself and walked away with a few polite words, giving up the space to the three of them. Su Muling looked at Qi Baoqin, who she hadn't seen for two years, and now she had changed her appearance. The previous round face has faded from baby fat to a goose egg face, and the round eyes before have become calm and quiet due to too much heat and coldness in the world.

"Baoqin, I heard that you are back and married, Mu Ling is very happy. If it wasn't late yesterday, she would have come to see you. ”

Su Muling took Qi Baoqin's hand, and didn't know what to say for a while, Dong Luzhu opened her mouth first.

"Mu Ling, I'm so glad you came to see me. I've not had a good time over the years, so I didn't dare to contact you, I thought you would blame me for ignoring me when I came back this time, but I didn't expect ......"

Qi Baoqin said as tears flowed down.

Su Muling also cried with her.

"Don't say that, just come back. I also know something about the Jiang family. The family is wealthy, and Jiang Ergongzi is also a good man, and he is a good husband. Baoqin, your good days have just begun, don't cry. ”

Su Muling took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Qi Baoqin saw that Su Muling still had tears on her face, and also picked up a handkerchief to wipe her for her, Dong Luzhu was so moved to wipe the corners of her eyes when she watched them wipe each other's tears.

The three sisters had lunch together before reluctantly leaving.

……

After staying in Songjiang for a few days, Xiao Wenxuan and Su Muling said goodbye to Su Haoran and returned to the capital. This time, Su Muling took Sifeng, who had been in Songjiang, with him, and followed Su Muling's carriage in a carriage with his luggage.

In Meihe Town, which is still fifty miles away from the capital, the carriage stopped in front of the inn where Xiao Wenxuan stayed when he left Beijing for Qizhou a few months ago.

Fang Ping parked the carriage on the side of the road and got out of the car to book a room for his master. But not long after entering, Fang Ping walked out.

"Childe, there are no rooms in this inn."

"Oh? Business is so good? Xiao Wenxuan was surprised.

This inn was the largest and cleanest in the town, and he stayed here every time he went in and out of the capital.

"Back to Gongzi, the guy in the store said that it was a nobleman who entered Beijing and chartered the entire inn."

"Let's go." Xiao Wenxuan lowered the curtain.

"Nobles entering Beijing? Who could it be? Su Muling was curious.

The man in her family is the prince, the only nephew of the emperor, and he has never been so high-profile in the rivers and lakes.

"I'll find a place to live first, and we'll find out later." Xiao Wenxuan hugged Su Muling and leaned on himself.

Although Meihe Town is not big, it is located on the main road, and almost everyone who comes and goes to the capital will settle here.

Looking at the room, except for the remoteness of the location, it is not much worse than the previous one. Xiao Wenxuan nodded: Just live here!

Putting down the things, Sifeng fetched water for Su Muling to wash his face, lay down and rested for a while, and Xiao Wenxuan came to knock on the door.

Hearing Xiao Wenxuan's familiar footsteps, Su Muling stood up and smiled at him.

"Why don't you take a little longer?"

"It's not early, I'll take you to dinner, and I won't digest it when it's late." Xiao Wenxuan stared at her face, his voice doting, like coaxing a wayward child.

"I'm not hungry yet." Su Muling lied.

Although the carriage they took this time was specially tailored for them by the prefect of Qizhou, the carriage was a carriage in the end, and it was bumpy all the way, so that she had no appetite at all.

"I know a restaurant that makes delicious food, and you will definitely like it when you go."

Xiao Wenxuan shaved lightly with his thumb on her fleshless face in distress. In the group of Qizhou, the little face that was not fat has lost weight again.

Su Muling suddenly stretched out his hands around his neck and laughed mischievously: "You pick me up, I don't want to move." ”

Xiao Wenxuan's good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled. One hand reached for her propped back, and the other through the crook of her leg. With just a slight touch, Su Muling was firmly held in his arms.

Xiao Wenxuan turned around and sat on the bed. Si Feng blushed and knelt on the bedside floor, picked up one of Su Muling's shoes and was about to put it on for her.

As soon as the hand reached over, a large slender hand was handed to her: "I'll come." ”

Si Feng hung his head and handed his shoes to him.

Su Muling didn't expect him to put shoes on her, so she hurriedly loosened the hand around his neck and wanted to come over to grab it, but Xiao Wenxuan still had a smile on the corner of his mouth and easily dodged it.

One hand pinched her little feet, the other put her shoes on, and then the other.

Xiao Wenxuan still hugged her when he put on her shoes, his face was tightly pressed against her face, and it was not too much to describe it as ear and sideburns.

Su Muling usually did almost all intimate things with Xiao Wenxuan, but she still blushed a little in front of Sifeng. She was very cooperative and motionless, hoping that Xiao Wenxuan would put on her shoes quickly.

But Xiao Wenxuan seemed to enjoy the process of putting on Su Muling's shoes, slow and leisurely, and didn't see that Su Muling's face was already burning red at this time, buried in his arms and didn't dare to raise his head.

"Sifeng, get me a fan." Finally put on her shoes, Su Muling broke out of Xiao Wenxuan's arms and walked to the window to take a deep breath.

Si Feng hurriedly handed a jade bone fan to her, Su Mu fanned the hot flashes on her face a few times, and then turned her head as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go." After speaking, go out first.

Xiao Wenxuan followed with a smile on his face.
