Chapter 225: A Visit in the Middle of the Night
The house in the suburbs was so far away that Leng Wan was almost thrown off her horse.
She shook her head from side to side, as if she could pout in the next second.
"Let's go back to the house in Fuliu Lane for one night, and then go back to the suburbs tomorrow."
Seeing her like this, Fu Jiulan couldn't help but propose.
He had no doubt that if he continued walking, Leng Wan would be able to sleep on the side of the road with people and horses.
"What did you just say?"
When people are in a difficult place, their brains react much more slowly.
Leng Wan was stunned for a long time before she realized that Fu Jiulan was talking to herself.
"I said we'd go to Fuliu Lane for one night today and leave tomorrow."
Looking at her helplessly and smiling, Fu Jiulan repeated.
Fuliu Lane is the courtyard of their former residence, because it is in the center of Fangzi, not far from the General's Mansion, and can be reached by horseback in a quarter of an hour.
After thinking about it carefully, although Leng Wan misses her children a little, she is so tired now that she really wants to drag her body back to the suburbs, and she doesn't have the energy to play with her children.
So she nodded and happily agreed to Fu Jiulan's proposal.
The road back to Fuliu Lane was much closer, and it didn't take long for Leng Wan to beat his spirits.
Pushing open the door of the small courtyard, everything was still a familiar scene.
It's just that there are no tables, chairs and benches under the old locust tree, and there are no lit candles in the house, so everything looks very lonely and lonely.
"Nothing seems to have changed."
Leng Wan sniffed and walked in by herself.
"We've only been away for a few days."
Taking the reins from her hand and going to tie the horse, Fu Jiulan replied.
"Things are people, not everything, and tears flow first."
put on a literary crepe appearance, and chanted a sour poem coldly.
"Aren't you sleepy?"
coldly, Fu Jiulan broke her nostalgia for the past.
"Sleepy."
It's okay not to mention it, but when I mention Leng Wan, I feel that my eyelids are heavy.
"Go and rest first, I'll tie up my horse and come."
Seeing her sleepy and only squinting eyes, Fu Jiulan only felt funny.
"Hmm."
In response, Leng Wan was about to push open the door and walk in, but suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.
The originally sleepy brain was a little hazy, but at this moment, Leng Wan suddenly became alert.
She turned her head and glanced at Fu Jiulan, as if she was silently communicating with her eyes, who was the person outside the door.
Today in Hot Spring Villa, they let Jiang Yuerong run away, and she also knew that Leng Wan was still alive.
Now, if they suddenly come to the door, Fu Jiulan and Leng Wan may not be able to get out of the way.
"I'll take a look, you hide in your room."
Pointing to the room, and then to the courtyard door, Fu Jiulan gestured to Leng Wan.
Looking at Fu Jiulan's figure, his cold eyes revealed a bit of worry.
She wanted to go forward with him, but she was worried about dragging her feet, so she finally stopped talking and went back to her room.
Fu Jiulan, who was very cautious, naturally couldn't open the door directly, he just leaned to the door, and after being careful for a long time, he didn't seem to hear any unusual noise, and then decided to open the door.
"Wan Niang, are you back?"
When Fu Jiulan was about to open the door, Gu Xiaoxianggong's voice suddenly came from the door.
His face suddenly darkened, Fu Jiulan didn't even have the desire to open the door, and turned around and planned to leave.
"Wan Niang, are you back?"
Gu Xiaoxianggong, who was outside the door, didn't seem to want to give up, and then slammed the door again, as if he was afraid that the people in the door would not hear.
"Is it Gu Xiaoxiang?"
This time, Leng Wan in the room also heard it.
She walked out of the room and asked Fu Jiulan suspiciously.
"That's right."
Someone's face is as black as the bottom of a pot, it seems
I don't want to see this person.
"Why did he come here in the middle of the night? If you knock on the door like this again, you guess your neighbors should come out and curse."
Frowning, Leng Wan walked over and opened the door by herself.
Finally seeing the person who was thinking about it day and night, Gu Xiaoxianggong was still a little stunned.
"Wan Niang, where have you been lately? Why did you only come back tonight? Why is your face so haggard? Didn't you rest?"
After a while, Gu Xiaoxianggong launched a series of questions.
"I've had a lot of things going on lately, so I haven't been back much. Why aren't you home so late? Could it be that you are staying around here?"
didn't want to reveal what she was doing these days, so Leng Wan brushed it off.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I was worried about it, so I came looking for you. I asked many people in the neighborhood and they all said that your yard had not been open for several days. I have no other way to look for you, so I have to wait for the rabbit, and rent a yard next door waiting for you to come back."
Gu Xiaoxianggong said pitiful, and even Leng Wan couldn't bear to say anything serious.
"I've been a bit busy lately, and I haven't been back for a while."
Sighing imperceptibly, he replied coldly.
Gu Xiaoxianggong's intentions for her are obvious, but he has a family and a wife, how can he accept his favor again.
"It's getting late now, my wife is tired and needs to rest."
Fu Jiulan suddenly stood in front of Leng Wan, and refused to let Gu Xiaoxianggong continue to reminisce with a cold face.
"I've been guarding around here for days, and I finally ran over today when I heard the movement, why can't I even say a few more words?"
Holding his neck, Gu Xiaoxianggong looked aggrieved.
"It's just not okay, my wife is tired and needs to rest."
Somehow, Fu Jiulan, who is as broad-minded as the sea on weekdays, seems to be particularly small in the matter of Gu Xiaoxianggong.
"Wan Niang......
Seeing that the dispute with Fu Jiulan was fruitless, Gu Xiaoxianggong set his eyes on Leng Wan.
"I'm tired......
She was telling the truth, but she couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"Okay, do you have a futon in the house? Is it cold or not?"
At this time, Gu Xiaoxianggong was still concerned about everything.
Recently, it has cooled down again, and Gu Xiaoxianggong is afraid that Leng Wan will be sick and tired himself again.
"In the house...... I guess there is."
When they moved, they had already removed all the bedding.
I want to come back to live today, and it's also temporary, so I didn't have time to prepare the futon at all. ap.
"How can you sleep without a mattress? I'll have someone bring you some beds."
As soon as he heard Leng Wan's hesitant answer, Gu Xiaoxianggong immediately concluded that there was no thick bedding in their house.
"No need."
It was Fu Jiulan who blocked the exit again, and Gu Xiaoxianggong hated him so much.
"The temperature drops at night, if there is no thick mattress, what can I do if Wan Niang is sick?"
Looking at Fu Jiulan with staring eyes, Gu Xiaoxiang said conclusively.
"We share the same bed as husband and wife, and if the weather is cold, I will fall asleep with my arms around her, and I will definitely not be cold to her."
Fu Jiulan hooked his lips and smiled, and said shamelessly.
"You...... You ......."
Gu Xiaoxianggong wanted to scold him for being obscene and shameless, but after thinking about it, they were husband and wife, and it seemed that it was not his turn to speak.
So his face turned red and he couldn't speak for a long time.
