Chapter 97: A Woman with a Doubtful Identity

Xu Xiaoxi walked to the yamen and asked an errand to find Liu Kai, but the errand officer should go down, turn around and go in to call someone.

Xu Xiaoxi was waiting outside, and after a while, it was Lin Zhan who came out.

Seeing him, Xu Xiaoxi's eyes widened, "Xianggong, why are you?" ”

Lin Zhan looked at her, his face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, I noticed something was wrong last night, so I left the house directly, and I didn't have time to tell you." ”

"You went to fight the bandits last night?" Xu Xiaoxi looked at him in surprise, and without waiting for him to answer, he asked again, "Then are you injured?" I heard that this gang of bandits is fierce, are you okay? ”

Lin Zhan shook his head, indicating that he was fine, then looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here to find Liu Kai?" ”

Xu Xiaoxi subconsciously asked, "How do you know that I am looking for Liu Kai?" ”

Lin Zhan glanced at her and said, "The errand who went in just now said that there was a woman outside who wanted to find Liu Kai, Liu Kai thought it was his good match, but before he could ask, others said that it was Boss Xu of Furui Restaurant, and Liu Kai came to me." ”

There is a sour smell in and out of these words.

Xu Xiaoxi heard it, it turned out that this person was jealous.

She didn't think about coaxing, but said, "You didn't tell me last night that you went to suppress the bandits, I thought you went out to do something else, I had something urgent, you weren't around, I could only discuss with Liu Kai." ”

When Lin Zhan heard this, his expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the emergency?" ”

Xu Xiaoxi saw that he was in a hurry, motioned for him to come closer, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

When Lin Zhan heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and then he said a word to the errand officer passing by, and went back directly with Xu Xiaoxi.

The snow on the road was thick, Xu Xiaoxi walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, Lin Zhan saw this and directly carried the person on his back.

Xu Xiaoxi was frightened and hurriedly pushed him, "I don't need you to carry it, I can walk!" ”

Lin Zhan said in a deep voice, "If you move, you will fall." ”

Xu Xiaoxi was afraid that the two would wrestle, so he could only stay on his back honestly.

He was busy all night last night with the bandits, and now he has to carry her home, and he is tired of thinking about it.

Besides, she walked over with Xiaocao, Xiaocao could walk back, and she could too, but thinking that he was doing this, he also felt sorry for himself, and he didn't say anything.

Xu Xiaoxi thought about it, and still asked, "You ...... last night How did you find out that the mountain bandits were going to attack the city? ”

Lin Zhan said truthfully, "There have been signs for a long time, they are just waiting for an opportunity, I guess last night was their opportunity." ”

Of course, this matter is not just a guess, he must have made a lot of efforts behind the scenes, and it is certainly not as simple as he said.

Xu Xiaoxi was silent for a while, and then asked, "Why didn't you wake me up at that time?" ”

Lin Zhan said, "I thought I could rush back in the morning." ”

Just like usual, having breakfast with her and pretending that what happened last night was a small thing.

But I didn't expect that things were a little troublesome, and something was going on at home.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhan was a little afraid in his heart, if it was not an injured woman who broke into the house yesterday, but a bandit who was lucky enough to enter the city, what happened to Xiaoxi and the child...... He just regretted it too late.

Lin Zhan carried her all the way home, and Zhang Xiaocao staggered back behind them.

The snow in the yard had been shoveled clean, so Xu Xiaoxi wanted to come down, and Lin Zhan didn't stop him.

Xu Xiaoxi asked him if he was tired, Lin Zhan shook his head and went directly to see the person lying in the backyard.

By this time, the people in the room had changed into a set of clothes, and their long hair had been put down, and there was no doubt that it was indeed a woman.

Seeing Lin Zhan looking at the woman, Xu Xiaoxi said, "Lin Zhan, I heard that woman said that the bandit came down from the mountain, and the clothes he was wearing shouldn't be silk or something, right?" ”

Lin Zhan said, "They are wearing coarse cloth, at most fine cloth. ”

Xu Xiaoxi understood that the muslin in his mouth was cotton, so he said, "But this woman's night dress is an excellent satin material, like a custom-made one." ”

Silk is very expensive, if you specially customize a set of night clothes to be a bandit, I am afraid it is a bit extravagant.

So Xu Xiaoxi thought about it and felt that this woman might not be a bandit outside the city.

It's just that these were all figured out on the road, and at the beginning of the woman's intrusion, she was also frightened, so she panicked.

"It's not a bandit, last night's bandit didn't look like this."

Lin Zhan said in a deep voice, "And when dealing with the bandits last night, someone helped, and I remember that person also wore a black night suit." ”

Xu Xiaoxi was a little surprised, "Then this woman won't be the one who helped you, right?" ”

"I'm not sure of my identity, let her stay here first, and then question her identity when she wakes up."

Lin Zhan said, took out a pill from his waist bag, and then walked up to the woman and fed it to her.

"What did you give her?"

Seeing her ask, Lin Zhan said truthfully, "If she takes this medicine, she will be weak all over her body, and she will not have the strength to hurt people for the time being." ”

Xu Xiaoxi looked at him and said, "She is so badly injured, even if she wakes up, she doesn't seem to have the strength to hurt people......"

"It's better just in case."

Seeing Lin Zhan say this, Xu Xiaoxi didn't refute anything, and then asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Lin Zhan said, "I just ate some in the morning." ”

Xu Xiaoxi knew that he hadn't eaten well and was very tired when he looked at him, so he said, "I'll go and make you something to eat!" Anyway, I'm already back, take a good shower and rest for a while. ”

Lin Zhan smiled and nodded, Xu Xiaoxi didn't ask much, turned around and walked out.

Lin Zhan didn't go out immediately, but approached the bedside.

He calmed his face, lifted the woman's wrist, pulled his clothes, and sure enough, he saw the red mark.

At this time, Xiaocao was about to walk in with water, and when he saw Lin Zhan standing beside the bed, very close to the woman, his face immediately changed, and he turned around and left with the water, and he didn't go in at all.

Walking to the yard, Su Hong came over with a broom, and when she saw that she brought the water back, she asked, "Xiaocao, didn't you let you bring water in and wash her?" Why did it come back again? ”

Xiaocao didn't dare to speak loudly, and took two steps closer to Su Hong, telling her what she had seen next to her ear.

Su Hong looked surprised, lowered her voice and reprimanded, "Xiaocao, don't talk nonsense, the husband and wife of the main family are very affectionate, what kind of person is that, how can the main family look at it?" ”

Zhang Xiaocao shrunk his neck and said weakly, "That... Maybe I'm wrong, right? ”

Su Hong said directly, "What is the possibility, you must have seen it wrong." ”

Zhang Xiaocao snorted, but didn't dare to refute.

Su Hong took a breath and took her daughter back to the kitchen.

Whether this kind of thing in the lord's house is true or false, they can only act as if they don't see it.

Dare to point fingers at the affairs of the master's family, I'm afraid it's too long.

The two just returned to the kitchen, but found that Xu Xiaoxi was also there, and their faces changed again.
