Xia Chutao's tone was sharp, and the subordinates below naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Originally, he was still confident, but after Xia Chutao said this, he didn't even dare to come out, so he could only let Xia Chutao take Kang'er away.

Kang Er lay on Xia Chutao's shoulder, looked at the carriage that was slowly moving away from him, and asked weakly in Xia Chutao's ear.

"Little mother, is it really my father who asked you to bring me back?"

Xia Chutao was stunned, and she didn't know what this little kid was doing when she asked this question back and forth.

"Of course my father asked me to come...... Don't think about it so much, you won't be sent away anyway, follow me back to Shenlian Pavilion first. ”

Kang'er didn't speak, and asked again after a while.

"That little lady, where have you been all this time?"

"Hmm...... I went to Beizhao and saw a lot of interesting things. ”

Xia Chutao chatted with Kang'er on the road in this way, and then returned to Shenlian Pavilion.

She had already noticed that a lot of time had passed, and if she went back at this time, she would probably face a bloody storm.

She carried Kang'er into the courtyard of Shenlian Pavilion uneasily, and sure enough, she saw Xiuniang standing there with a bamboo whip crossed her waist.

"Why did it take so long to pick a plate of mulberry leaves?!"

Xia Chutao's front feet had just stepped in, and the voice of the embroidery girl scolding came over, which scared Xia Chutao and couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, the embroidery lady saw clearly that the peach in the early summer was actually holding a child in her arms, and the embroidery lady felt very strange.

"Eh, where is this kid, I asked you to pick mulberry leaves, what are you doing here? Picked up the kids? Where did this kid come from? ”

"What do you say? This is the little master in our house. ”

Qiaoyun also felt very surprised that Xia Chutao brought back Kang'er, and when she heard Xiuniang say this, she immediately refuted it unceremoniously.

When the embroidery lady heard that this child was Fu Rin's, she didn't say anything for a while, but silently watched Xia Chutao put Kang'er down.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I have to properly settle the matter of the little young master, can I put the matter of mulberry leaves first?"

The embroidery girl who didn't say anything was angry at this time, and her brows suddenly rose.

"Are you going to raise silkworms or people? Now is what to do you don't know? I told you to pick mulberry leaves, and you brought me a child back, and told me that the matter of learning to raise silkworms should be put aside first. ”

Saying that this embroidery girl is still very unceremoniously,

"If you don't want to learn, you can just say it, you see if your old man agrees with such a thing."

Xia Chutao didn't dare to say anything about the embroidery girl's words, she only felt that this embroidery girl was really aggressive, and after a few words, she was so frightened that she hid behind her and didn't dare to come out.

"If you talk like this, it will scare the little master."

Xia Chutao protected Kang'er behind her, not wanting Xiuniang's words to scare Kang'er behind her, and looked at Xiuniang coldly.

"I only care about you raising silkworms, and I don't care about the rest."

Xiuniang sat down directly on her stool, and looked at Xia Chutao with a stinky face, and the two of them didn't let anyone.

Xia Chutao didn't pay attention to the embroidery girl, but just looked at Qiaoyun and Bizhu who didn't know what to say,

"You two take the little master down."

"Yes."

When the two of them heard Xia Chutao's words, they stepped forward and took Kang'er down.

Kang Er blinked and looked at Xia Chutao and didn't say anything, but Xia Chutao saw a trace of fear in his eyes.

Xia Chutao could only smile at Kang'er and said,

"You go down with the two sisters first, and then I'll go to you when the little lady is done, okay?"

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Kang Er nodded obediently when she heard Xia Chutao say this, and then obediently followed Bizhu and Qiaoyun down.

After Kang'er was completely gone, Xia Chutao clapped her hands and picked up the bamboo sieve on the ground.

"Cheng, I'll continue to pick mulberry leaves now."

Xia Chutao also went to the small kitchen before going out, took some food in his arms, and then took a small tile bowl with some water, and went out in such a hurry.

She returned to the mulberry leaf garden and squatted down in front of the hole.

Yin Niang was still waiting there, all her eyes were full of anxiety, and the moment she saw Xia Chu Peach, Yin Niang's eyes full of worry turned into expectation.

She crawled towards the entrance of the cave excitedly, and then looked at Xia Chutao with her head tilted.

"Don't worry, Kang'er, I'm already waiting for Shenlian Pavilion, Kang'er is fine, there's no big problem."

Xia Chutao said as he put the food he secretly brought from his arms in Yin Niang's hand,

"I think you haven't eaten in a while, right? Hungry or not, I brought you these. ”

When Xia Chutao's food was placed in Yin Niang's hand, Yin Niang was obviously stunned, and then watched Xia Chutao pass the water to her in a daze.

"That's all I can bring out...... There was nothing to eat in the kitchenette at this time. ”

Xia Chutao scratched her head, and felt quite embarrassed to say it.

"Otherwise...... It will make you eat more. ”

But Yin Niang couldn't care so much, picking up the food and drink given by Xia Chutao was a gobble, such a way of eating without regard for the image, Xia Chutao felt that most of them had been really hungry for a long time.

"Ahem—"

After eating a few bites, Yin Niang's face became ugly, and then she began to cough violently.

Seeing this, the peach at the beginning of summer also said to Yin Niang,

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke."

Yin Niang picked up the water on the side, but she was also in a hurry, and she was panting violently after drinking.

Gasping and panting, Yin Niang began to cry, and the tears rolled out of her eyes silently, drop by drop, all of them fell into her food.

"Don't cry......"

Xia Chutao didn't know why Yin Niang suddenly cried at this time, and she was also a little flustered, so she was busy asking.

"What's wrong? Is this not delicious? ”

Yin Niang wiped her tears, then shook her head.

After that, Yin Niang ate slowly, and ate all the food brought by the peach at the beginning of summer little by little.

Xia Chutao looked at her fixedly, and saw that she took out a small brocade bag from behind her and handed it to Xia Chutao.

Xia Chutao took it with some hesitation, looked at it, and felt that it should be a talisman, and there was a strip of cloth on it, which read.

"Help me transfer this to Wangcheng, don't ask who Wangcheng is, Wangcheng will look for you when the time comes."

Xia Chutao looked at the talisman in his hand, then at Yin Niang, and then put the talisman into his chest.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll transfer it to Wangcheng well."

In the rest of the day, both of them just had a tacit understanding to stay on the other side of the wall. Xia Chutao didn't speak, and Yin Niang couldn't speak, Xia Chutao just looked at her fixedly, not to go, not to go.

But seeing that the time is coming, if I go back later, I don't know what the embroidery girl will say.

"That...... I still have something to do with Shen Lian Pavilion, although I don't know why you're here, but I'll find a way to let you out. ”

The wall in front of her was very high, and Xia Chutao couldn't see what it was like inside, let alone why Yin Niang was inside, and why she couldn't get out.

"But I have to go now, don't worry, I'll bring you something to eat."

Xia Chutao said very seriously, which Yin Niang didn't expect at all, her eyes were very complicated, and her pupils trembled slightly in her eye sockets.

After a while, she just nodded and didn't say anything.

"Then I'll go first."

Xia Chutao stood up, thinking that she might as well go back and figure out this matter.

She didn't think about it so much, and slowly went back to Shenlian Pavilion with the mulberry leaves she picked.

……

After a busy day's work, Xia Chutao finally became free, sitting at the table and watching Kang'er gobble up food.

Looking at him like this, it is estimated that he hasn't eaten properly for a while, and he feels distressed just by looking at Xia Chutao.

"You eat slowly, no one will rob you, if it's not enough, the little lady will continue to ask the people below to do it."

"Delicious...... It's delicious, and the things here are the best. ”

Kang'er only cared about eating, and she didn't even raise her head at all, and she was still muttering like this in her mouth while eating.

Xia Chutao just smiled, and then wiped the rice from the corner of Kang'er's mouth.

"I've seen the general, and the general is healthy."

Just as Xia Chutao was happy to see Kang'er eating, she heard Bizhu who was waiting at the door say this in a panic.

Xia Chutao subconsciously turned her head to look, and sure enough, Fu Rin slowly came in with his hands behind his back, but his face was not very good-looking.

Kang'er on the side didn't dare to eat, and slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.

He suddenly buried his head in a low position as if he had done something wrong, and he didn't even dare to look at Fu Rin.

"Daddy......"

Kang'er screamed very quietly, very unconfident, her voice was weak, and she was full of grievances.

"Didn't I tell you to leave this morning?"

But Fu Rin didn't seem to hear it, and said it coldly to Kang'er.

"Fu Rin, what are you doing here? Kang'er is just a child. ”

Xia Chutao didn't know why Fu Rin had such an attitude towards a child, so she couldn't help but stand up and protect Kang'er behind her again.

"His mother made a big mistake and stayed in the General's Mansion, but I am afraid that there will be endless troubles, and when the time comes, someone else will catch the handle, and you and I will not be able to escape."
