The next morning, I slept until I woke up naturally.

The servant came in with a washbasin to serve, "Madam, the washing water is ready." ”

"Hmm." Xiang Xia responded in confusion, "What about Zilong and others?" ”

Although the two have been a little awkward recently, they still care about each other in the end.

"Mrs. Hui, the general has already left the house." The servant bowed.

"Out of the house?" Pouting at summer loss.

"Madame forgot, the general, he should go to the army." The next person reminded.

Xiang Xia remembered that the annual leave had passed, and he was going back to the barracks to be busy. She patted her head in annoyance, her brain has been getting more and more confused recently, and she has been troubled by this series of troubles.

"I remember." Xiang Xia got up, picked up a cloth towel and wiped his face, "By the way, did Sun Ruan'er have anything unusual about her yesterday?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, no. She had been in the house all day yesterday, except for a trip to the kitchen to get the fried medicine. The slave thought that this should not be a big problem. "The next person reported it truthfully.

"yes, I see. Keep staring at her for me. "Commanded to the summer. After wiping your face, throw the cloth towel into the basin and make a splash.

Until noon, after having lunch with the summer, he brought a deck chair to rest in the backyard. She wanted to wait until this matter was resolved, and then return to the barracks for training after the limelight had passed. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang naturally acquiesced, so she had a very comfortable life.

"Madam, Miss Sun asks to see you." The next person will report it.

"See you." Wave your hand at summer.

After a while, "The slave and maid pay a visit to Madame." Sun Ruan'er kowtowed, she knew that she had offended Xiang Xia, and she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Turning a deaf ear to the summer, still closing his eyes, he is swimming. Sun Ruan'er prostrate on the ground, and didn't wait for the person above to speak. She quietly glanced up, but Xiang Xia suddenly opened her eyes and met her.

"Why, so impatient?" Smile at Summer.

"No, no." Sun Ruan'er hurriedly lowered her head and kowtowed again, "Slave Sun Ruan'er to meet Madame." ”

"Tsk...."Xiang Xia frowned, "I'm not deaf, you don't annoy me." ”

"It's the slave's fault, and please blame the lady." Sun Ruan'er buried her head on the ground.

Raising his eyes to Summer, he looked around casually, but he didn't take her seriously, "Don't be busy blaming first." ”

"Mrs. Xie...."Sun Ruan'er spoke, but was suddenly interrupted by Xiang Xia, "Don't be busy with Xie yet, listen to me finish speaking." ”

Sun Ruan'er slowly raised her head in panic and looked at her suspiciously. Seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth, Yun said lightly: "Remember it first, and then count your mistakes one by one later, and finally convict and punish you." ”

Sun Ruan'er's body trembled, lowered her head and bit her lip, "Yes...."

"Alas, it's past noon, and you really made me wait." Xiang Xia was dissatisfied and shook his head with a sigh.

"Mrs. Hui, the slave didn't mean it." Sun Ruan'er is submissive.

"Not intentionally?" Xiang Xia whispered, "Isn't it intentional to oversleep?" ”

Sun Ruan'er suddenly looked up at her in disbelief, as if asking how she knew.

"Don't be so surprised. Anyway, I'm the mistress of this backyard, and I don't know anything. Even a small thing can't escape my eyes. Xiang Xia held his chin and replied as a matter of course.

"That's what Madame said." Sun Ruan'er lowered her eyebrows.

Xiang Xia raised her eyebrows, and in the morning she learned from her subordinates that she had shrunk in the room all day yesterday, so she asked curiously: "Have you been sleepy lately?" ”

Sun Ruan'er panicked and hurriedly spoke, "Madam, listen to my explanation." Actually, it's the effect of the medicine that makes people sleep...."

"It doesn't have to be explained. If you get up late, you get up late, you get up late, you will make a mistake when you get up late, and you should be punished if you get up late. I will punish you and deduct the money for this month. "Xiang Summer's tone is arrogant and unquestionable.

"Yes, slave and maid are punished." Sun Ruan'er vaguely breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, you're feeling better today?" He glanced up and down at Summer.

"Mrs. Xie cares, the slave and maid are much better."

"You're getting better pretty quickly." Xiang Xia saw that her face was much more ruddy than yesterday, and he felt a little strange in his heart. It is said that she suffered from the cold, but she was cured overnight, and her physical fitness was much better than she imagined. said that she had a gastrointestinal problem, but I heard a secret report from someone that she went to the kitchen to find some sour plums to eat today. Acidity can irritate the stomach and intestines, which is not conducive to the recovery of the stomach, but she is just right now.

Sun Ruan'er's complexion changed, but only for a moment. She replied calmly: "If you go back to Madame, the slave's stomach is already an old problem, as long as you drink the medicine and rest for another night, it will be fine." That medicine just happened to cure the wind and cold, so the slave maid..."

Hearing her say this, I became interested in summer. "Oh? Tell me what kind of medicine it is, which can cure both your stomach and your cold. ”

"This...."Sun Ruan'er looked embarrassed.

"Why, can't you tell?" Xiang Xia stared at her suspiciously.

"No, it's not." Sun Ruan'er hurriedly shook her head, "I heard that Madame once served as a military doctor, and Madame understands medical skills, so Madame must know the importance of family secret medicine." The unique secret recipe must not be passed on, otherwise the ancestors will be blamed. ”

"Whatever you want, I'm not unfamiliar with it." Waving his hand to the summer, with a tsundere face.

"Now, isn't it time for us to get down to business?" Xiang Xia touched his chin, with a pair of sharp eyes with momentum.

"Business?" Sun Ruan'er looked ignorant, "Madam, the slave maid has already explained it to you yesterday, doesn't Madam believe what the slave maid said?" If Madame doesn't believe me, I can go to the guards who guarded the door that day, as well as Xiao Ruan, and they can all testify for me. ”

"Them?" Xiang Xia seemed to have heard a joke, "What can the guards at the gate testify for you, testify that you happened to pass by the gate of the mansion, and not on purpose?" And that Xiao Ruan, she praised you one by one, if you want to say that Yueyue and I are sisters, I think the relationship between you and that Xiao Ruan is not bad. She speaks, how can I believe it? Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're saying that? ”

"Madame, Madame's words terrified the slave and maid. Everyone in the house is loyal to the general and his wife, and the slave and maid are naturally too, how can they lie to their wife. Sun Ruan'er was full of words.

"Geng Geng is loyal, and who will not talk about loyalty. I don't know who this loyalty is loyal to, whether it is to me and Zilong, or to herself, or to someone who is beneficial to herself. In the same way, I don't know to whom this heart is headed. You tell me? "Reasoning lazily to the summer.

"Madam, the slave's loyalty is to the general and his wife, and the slave's heart is also towards the general and his wife." Sun Ruan'er hurriedly said.

"Panic what. By the way, there is one more person. "Perhaps, I'll believe his words." ”

"Madam, the slave doesn't know, please make it clear to Madame." Sun Ruan'er looked at her suspiciously.

"How could you not know? He had the privilege of being preached through your mouth, and you spoke for him three times or twice. Xiang Xia smiled, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

"I, I...."Sun Ruan'er buried her head, her eyes wandering, "Slave, slave and maid remembered, it was that person." ”

"It's good to think about. Yes, that is the man. Unless you call that person to confront you and me, as long as he admits it himself, you have never had contact with him, and it has nothing to do with him. What he said in the hall that day was all on a whim, not at the behest of someone! Xiang Xia shouted loudly, and the people around him were really startled, and they seemed to gradually react to why Mrs. was biting Sun Ruan'er to death.

When Sun Ruan'er heard this, she was still calm. Her face did not change, she kowtowed, and said in a righteous voice, "As Madame said, the slave and the maid have indeed never had contact with that person, and they have no relationship in the slightest. The lady can find the man to confront the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid must be innocent. ”

"So confident, aren't you afraid that I will really find that person?" Xiang Xia stood up, condescending, with a sneer.

"What the slave has never done, why be afraid." Sun Ruan'er made a loud voice, as if full of justice.

"Are you really afraid?" Xiang Xia sank his face, cold and fierce.

"Don't be afraid." Sun Ruan'er looked stubborn, looked up at her, and intertwined with her gaze.

The subordinates beside him seemed to smell the strong smell of gunpowder from the eyes of the two of them, and they couldn't help but shiver, and they also pinched the cold sweat for Sun Ruan'er.

In the next second, Wu Di heard Xiang Xia Yang Tian laughing, "Okay, I'm not afraid." That's really my fault for you. ”

The subordinate only said that Mrs. was testing Sun Ruan'er, and thought that Sun Ruan'er had passed Mrs.'s test, and her half-hanging heart was relieved. Even Sun Ruan'er herself thought so, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just in the blink of an eye, Xiang Xia suddenly leaned over and pinched Sun Ruan'er's face fiercely with his palm. Sun Ruan'er hissed in pain, and the next person felt pain just watching from the sidelines.

"You're not afraid, because you know I can't find the man." Xiang Xia glared at her, his eyes glinting with a cold light.

"No, no...."No one knows what Sun Ruan'er wants to say, how can she speak like this.

"Hmph, I'll just tell you directly, I really didn't find that person. Now you're satisfied, you can rest assured. Well? Xiang Xia Pi didn't smile, coupled with the cold eyes, it made people shudder.

"No, no...."Sun Ruan'er shook her head with the strength of breastfeeding, almost crying. I don't know if it's a cry of pain or a cry of fright.

"But even if I can't find the man, that's okay. I think you should be able to answer for me why that man disappeared into thin air. The man used to be the innkeeper, greedy by nature, cunning and treacherous, and last time he was lucky enough to receive a sum of silver taels from his lord and military advisor, and you said that he had a silver tael in his hand, where would he go? "Xiang Xia's hand has not diminished in the slightest.
