Chapter 9 Some of the Divine Beasts have some instincts that are difficult to control
"This is Poria cake, this is hibiscus cake, do you think Mrs. Xu doesn't like sweetness?"
Jiang Xiaoyao blinked, extremely annoyed: "Oh, I should have made some pretzels to prepare, but it's too late to make them now." ”
Jiang Xiaoyao pumped out the box layer by layer, and his white and pink little face was upright, serious and serious.
This is not what Qi Lin originally thought.
Inside the carriage in winter, it was warm.
When two people are alone in a confined space, shouldn't there be some warm and ambiguous feelings?
There's nothing wrong with having food.
It is...... All this food is for others.
Not for him.
Qi Lin hesitated, and said tentatively: "It's time for dinner now, otherwise let's go to the restaurant to use some, and then go to Xufu?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyao waved his hand again and again, and refused with righteous words: "No, didn't you say that you want to divide the body of Xu Gongzi?" For such an urgent matter, we have to persuade Mrs. Xu first. ”
Qi Lin's long eyelashes flickered: "I'm thinking, you and I have to eat, let the restaurant make some more food, just what you just said." Aren't you going to bring something to Mrs. Xu to eat? ”
Jiang Xiaoyao's eyebrows were crooked, and he tilted his head to praise him: "You think so thoughtfully." ”
Qi Lin quietly exhaled, for fear that he would not explain well, Jiang Xiaoyao would be unhappy and dislike himself.
"But I still don't need to." Jiang Xiaoyao hugged the food box and said softly: "I think we won't be able to persuade Mrs. Xu for a while, wait for me to see what Mrs. Xu likes to eat today, and it's not too late to prepare tomorrow." ”
Qi Lin paused, frowned and asked, "You seem to care about Mrs. Xu very much." ”
It's not Mrs. Xu, maybe it's that Xu Gongzi.
Because it is not impossible for Xu Gongzi to care about Mrs. Xu, he loves the house and Wu or something.
Jiang Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "Huh? Didn't we get an order from Lord Shangshu to persuade Mrs. Xu? ”
Isn't it right to care about Mrs. Xu?
"Oh, I mean ......" Qi Lin explained calmly: "You are very considerate, the adult chose the right person, if someone else goes to Xu's mansion, he must not bring anything, and go directly to say dryly, Xu Gongzi is very stupid, he froze to death, there is no need to conduct an autopsy again, and he will still freeze to death after another examination." ”
Qi Lin was a little impatient in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Jiang Xiaoyao.
had to pretend to be someone else's mouth and scolded Xu Gongzi.
"Will anyone be that cold? Xu Gongzi is dead. Jiang Xiaoyao muttered to himself and fell into deep thought.
Qi Lin was as quiet as a chicken, and he didn't dare to open his mouth casually, for fear that Jiang Xiaoyao would notice his little emotions.
The carriage did not stop in the middle, and soon arrived at the Governor's Mansion of Xu Dadu.
Although it is still called the Xu Dadu Governor's Mansion, the current mansion is very depressed.
When the porter heard that it was someone from the Criminal Department, his expression was very restrained: "That...... The two officials should have been entertained when they came, but our house is ...... now."
The porter stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Otherwise, I'll take the two of you to find a housekeeper." The porter is just a half-grown boy, and I don't know if there is no one in the Xu Mansion who has anything to do, so he actually arranged for him to guard the door.
Qi Lin and Jiang Xiaoyao entered the Xu Mansion together, and only then did they know why this was the case.
The door of Xu's courtyard was noisy, and it came out through a few walls.
"Xu Nian is dead! In the past, I didn't come to look for you because you gave birth to a son to Xu Dadudu, but don't really take yourself as a master, in the end, you are a foreign surname, and the affairs of our Xu family have to be accurate in our clan. ”
"That's it, that's it, our Xu family can't cut off the incense."
"You have to step a child of the clan!"
"If you don't decide to come here today, we won't leave!"
"That is to say, this is originally our old Xu family's house, and they have lived in it for all these years."
Qi Lin followed the gatekeeper, and when he turned his head again, Jiang Xiaoyao was gone.
Jiang Xiaoyao stopped in front of the hanging flower door, and his clear eyes looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The porter saw it, and walked up to Jiang Xiaoyao a little unhappily: "This little official, you can't break into the inner house!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyao didn't speak, his lips pursed into a line, and his hands gradually clenched into fists.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyao didn't move, the porter was furious at the moment, and reached out to pull Jiang Xiaoyao's wrist: "Hey, I said this little official, did you hear it!" ”
The porter was a half-grown boy, and his hands were not light or heavy, and Jiang Xiaoyao was dragged and staggered.
Qi Lin frowned, strode over, and pinched the porter's shoulder with one hand.
The concierge's arm was almost unloaded by Qi Lin, his facial features were wrinkled together, and he formed a group, begging for mercy: "Please also ask the little official to forgive his sins, forgive his sins." ”
Jiang Xiaoyao looked at it in a trance, and Qi Lin let go of his hand.
"The little official forgives me, I was blinded by those personal anger today, so I dared to surprise the two officials." At this time, the porter knew that he was afraid, not because he was afraid, but because he was afraid of causing trouble in the house.
"The two officials have a lot, spare the small one this time, and the small one will never dare to do it again in the future, but don't take such a thing and block our wife." The porter snorted.
Jiang Xiaoyao's face turned pale and asked the porter: "Do these clansmen of the Xu family treat your wife like this?" ”
"Isn't it? They didn't even want to have a face, and our son-in-law was gone, so they didn't say that they were good to comfort our wife, but forced our wife to immediately succeed the people in the clan. ”
The porter was very angry, coupled with his young age, he had no scruples when he spoke: "If our wife agrees, I'm afraid that our son-in-law won't even be able to do the funeral, so we have to vacate the house for them!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyao listened to such words, as if he was poked in the heart.
If the fact that she is a daughter is revealed, will her grandmother also face such a situation?
Qi Lin watched Jiang Xiaoyao become depressed, his little head drooping, and he was extremely weak.
Qi Lin's eyes sank slightly.
He couldn't see that she was upset.
"I'm the son-in-law of the Shoufu Qi family, and I'm ordered by my father to see if your lady has anything to help, so let's go directly to see Mrs. Xu." Qi Lin said to the porter.
The porter was shocked: "You! Have you been ordered by Lord Shoufu to help our wife? ”
The porter didn't wait for Qi Lin to answer, and rushed to the hanging flower door.
In the weeping flower gate, it is generally a woman's inner house.
Mrs. Xu was originally hiding from these Xu family members, but today, they rushed in, and Mrs. Xu had to meet them in the outermost courtyard.
"Madame, ma'am! Lord Qi sent Master Qi to ask if you have anything to help with here! The porter shouted very loudly, for fear that the surrounding Xu family members would not be able to hear.
Lord Qi of the first assistant, a figure above 10,000 people under one person.
After hearing this, the Xu family muttered secretly: "Our Xu family still has a relationship with the Shoufu Qi family?" ”
"Haven't you heard of it?"
"Didn't you know Xu Nian when he was in school? Didn't you say that Xu Nian followed the prince of Zhenyuan Bofu to study together? ”
The walls were chattering, and Jiang Xiaoyao's eyes were full of hope outside the wall.
"Are they afraid of you?" Jiang Xiaoyao asked Qi Lin in a low voice.
The clear eyes seem to contain a clear spring, which is clean and clear.
"Naturally, I'm afraid, don't worry." Qi Lin nodded at her and gently rubbed the top of her hair.
The auspicious clouds hanging down above Jiang Xiaoyao's head suddenly stood up, waving in the wind, and blooming again.
Three auspicious clouds looked like a clover above Jiang Xiaoyao's head.
"You must support Mrs. Xu." Jiang Xiaoyao approached Qi Lin and taught him softly: "You will murder them in a while, glaring at them." ”
Qi Lin felt the body close to him, his Adam's apple rolled down, and he subconsciously moved his eyes.
He...... Only...... Divine beasts are also beasts, so ...... Some instincts...... Not very easy to control.
"Good...... Good. Qi Lin stammered a little.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll follow you." Jiang Xiaoyao thought that Qi Lin was because of his weak heart.
Qi Lin exhaled slowly and walked in with Jiang Xiaoyao.
Qi Lin has always been cold to others, and in his eyes, except for Jiang Xiaoyao, other ordinary people are like ants.
Not to mention this kind of persecution of women and children widowhood.
The cold gaze swept over one by one, as if there was a layer of chill on his body, and he was not angry.
"Who are you? What are you here for? There was no smile on Qi Lin's face, as if he was coming from a sea of icebergs and snow, and every word was covered with ice ballast.
The Xu family has many rats, and when they saw this, they were half a cut shorter, and the patriarch stepped forward and saluted, and said flatteringly: "It's to talk about some small things in the clan, since it's the prince of Qi who is here, then I'll leave first, and it's not too late to talk about another day." ”
As soon as the patriarch took the lead, the rest of the people naturally scattered as birds and beasts.
Jiang Xiaoyao didn't expect it to go so smoothly, with a small face, until everyone was gone, the smile rippled in his eyes, and he almost jumped into Qi Lin's arms: "You are so amazing!" Super fierce! ”
Qi Lin looked at the soft hands hanging on his arms, and the corners of his lips gradually rose.
"Invite these two sons to the front hall for dinner." Mrs. Xu left a sentence, turned around and left.
Jiang Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little weird.
Just across the wall, I didn't hear Mrs. Xu say a word.
The two of them helped drive the Xu family away, but Mrs. Xu didn't say a word of thanks.
Moreover, Mrs. Xu seemed to be in a hurry.
What did she do?
"Doesn't Madame have to eat?" Jiang Xiaoyao asked the maid.
The maid looked at Mrs. Xu's hurried back, and said with red eyes: "Madame hasn't had a good meal for several days." ”
Jiang Xiaoyao thought of the heart-wrenching words just now, and thought of Mrs. Xu being persecuted by those clansmen, lowered her head, pursed her lips, was silent for a while, and said in a small voice: "It's not okay if you don't eat, Gongzi Xu will definitely not want to see Mrs. Xu like this, I will persuade Mrs. Xu." ”
Qi Lin lowered his eyes, his eyes were dark and uncertain.
Xiaoxiu is so empathetic, does she really like Xu Gongzi so much?
The heart is a little sore.
