Chapter Seventy-One: Slippery Pills

The two walked on the way back to Xu's house, Xu Yue's hands were not idle, holding all kinds of gifts brought to them by Zhang Yang's family, but Zhang Zezhen was empty-handed, looking thoughtful, as if thinking about something.

"You said that man in black, was it an accident?" Xu Yue asked.

"Someone must have sent him to keep an eye on the two of us."

"It's strange that since we got married, the atmosphere in my house has become a lot more harmonious."

"Humph! These are all appearances, and how could your mother let me go so easily?"

"My mother just can't think about it for a while, if she sees that we are doing well, she will naturally figure it out."

Zhang Zezhen glanced at Xu Yue with disgust, and secretly teased in her heart: Is it so simple for a straight man of steel to think about things?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's okay, look at your cuteness."

Xu Yue: ......

Zhang Zezhen glanced down and saw him carrying large bags and small bags, while he was leisurely and complacent, so he asked, "That, do you want to, I'll help you get some?"

"No, I'm a big man, how can I not even be able to hold this little thing!"

"Then where did you get all this sweat?"

"It's too hot!"

"Hehe, it's just the two of us on the road, why are you polite to me?"

After that, Zhang Zezhen took the initiative to take something from him.

When the two were scrambling, Xu Yue's hand accidentally touched Zhenzhen's hand, his face turned red, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Zhang Zezhen didn't think so, and took something out of his hand and carried it in his hand.

This scene happened to meet her former neighbor Aunt Shi.

"Yo, the relationship between the little couple is so good, right?" Aunt Shi covered her mouth and smiled.

"Where is there?" Zhang Zezhen suddenly realized that this was in ancient times, and there was basically no contact between men and women in the introduction, and when she thought of this, she suddenly blushed.

"No need to explain, the eldest lady is from the past, and she understands everything! While you're young, let's have more children."

"Thank you Aunt Shi for reminding me."

"No thanks, no thanks, I'll go first."

"Good ......"..

The outsider left, the air suddenly became delicate, and the two of them changed from relaxed and happy just now to cautious, and no one dared to look at anyone.

In this way, the two returned to Xu's house.

Xu Zhao saw that his son was holding so many things in his hands, and he was so tired that he was panting, while his daughter-in-law was carrying things that didn't weigh much, and his arrogance was ignited.

"As a wife, why don't you know to help your husband share the burden? I've eaten so much for nothing!"

"Mother, I can carry it, I don't need my mother's help."

"Look at you, you're tired like this, and you're still talking to her." Xu Zhao glared at his daughter-in-law, his eyes full of anger.

"Mother, look at what you said, when you and your father went out, I didn't see you carrying a package in your hand? How did you come to me, it's a different story?"

"Presumptuous! Why do you talk to Madame like that?" Xiao Ju has long been disdainful of Zhang Zezhen, but this time she has to find a chance.

"You're presumptuous! A girl, seeing that the master is holding so many things in her hands, she doesn't know how to come over to help, and she dares to show off her power here, I think you have lived enough!"

"I, I, haven't I had time yet?"

"Why don't you hurry up and ask someone to help your son carry something!" Xu Zhao ordered.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Xiaoju reluctantly called someone, thinking that she could teach this stinky woman a good lesson, but she didn't expect to be taken advantage of by her.

"You two come here, hurry up and help the young master carry it!"

Zhang Zezhen saw that Xiaoju was just asking people to help Xu Yue carry it, but she didn't mention herself at all, so she secretly laughed in her heart.

"Give! Take these things and send them to my and Childe's rooms later!"

Zhang Zezhen directly threw the package in his hand to

Xiao Ju, then put her hands on her shoulders and ordered her with an arrogant face.

Xiao Ju hugged the package in her hand tightly, there were thousands of grievances and anger in her heart, but there was nowhere to go, who made herself a maid and a young lady? No matter what, you can't mess up the generations.

At this time, Xu Mingyuan walked over from a distance.

"Yue'er and Zhenzhen are back? Did it go well?"

"It's going well, thank you dad for your concern, by the way, my dad sent you a piece of kodama from home, saying that it can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, and I hope you can accept it."

Zhang Zezhen handed the jade over, Xu Mingyuan took it, opened it and looked at it, and said, "I really have a husband who is worried about my father-in-law, and please thank you for bringing your father for me."

"I will." Zhang Zezhen replied politely.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan didn't look down on this kind of jade at all, although it looked bright, but it was actually not worth a few dollars, and this kind of thing was not worthy of being placed in their house.

"By the way, Zhenzhen, do you two have anything to gain from going back this time?"

Zhang Zezhen paused and said, "Dad, what are you referring to?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I've just heard that it's so lively for you to go back this time, so just ask."

"Looks like Daddy sent a friend to visit us?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm familiar with Taoyuan Village, and I have a few friends to talk to."

"I see! I didn't get anything out of it, so I just invited my neighbors and family to have a meal, and then I packed up and came back."

"Really? Xu Yue" Xu Mingyuan couldn't ask anything from Zhang Zezhen, so he started with his son.

"As Zhenzhen said, it was a simple meal, and after we helped our father-in-law and mother-in-law clean up, we rushed back."

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, let's go to the house and rest!" Xu Zhao felt very sorry for his son.

"Rest early." Xu Mingyuan touched his face, and after speaking, he turned around and left.

"By the way, Zhenzhen, don't forget what you promised me, I will make that dish today."

"Got it, Daddy!"

"Vegetables? What kind of dish?" Xu Zhao looked at the expressions of the two and felt a little strange.

"It's a new dish developed by my daughter-in-law in Jinyu Building, and my father said he wanted to try it."

"Okay!"

"Mother, the two of us will go back to the house first." Xu Yue was also very tired and wanted to escape from the oppression of this atmosphere as soon as possible.

"Hmm."

Xu Yue and Zhenzhen walked back to the house without stopping, and then locked the door.

"See if there's a dark shadow outside?"

When Xu Yue heard this, she immediately opened the door and checked it again, and only closed it again after making sure that there was no one.

"How do I feel like a thief?"

"Then you can't rely on your stepfather? He even thinks about having a meal at my house, it's really hard!"

"I said, let's go back to your house as soon as possible, you have to come back in a hurry, I really don't know what you think?"

"Now a lot of doubts have not been solved, if we leave, I am afraid that it will hurt my father and mother, if we are here, it will make Xu Mingyuan feel that we are in his hands, and we will not do anything to my family."

"The lady has a point."

"Do you know how rich the Xu family is?"

"Hmm...... His money wasn't spent on me anyway."

"Look at your grievances, but now that you have a teacher, you have to work hard this time, in case I can still be a champion lady."

"Just say this to you, I will definitely work hard."

"Don't just say it, you better go and study quickly, so that your mother won't say that I have delayed your future."

"You didn't say you told me to rest and rest, or wasn't it my wife?"

Looking at Xu Yue's aggrieved look, Zhang Zezhen couldn't help but smile.

"Knock knock!"

"Who?" Xu Yue went to open the door, and saw that it was Xiaoju.

"What's wrong? Can I help you

?」

"This is the chicken soup that the lady personally boiled for the young lady, saying that it is to replenish the body, so that he can become pregnant as soon as possible and inherit the Xu family."

"Then why is there only one bowl? What about mine?"

"Madame said, this chicken soup can only be drunk by the young lady alone, this is specially prepared for women, you don't need it."

"Okay, I see."

"Childe, remember to tell the young lady that the chicken soup must be drunk!"

"I said I knew!" Xu Yue closed the door directly.

"This is the chicken soup my mother made for you, and she let you drink it!"

"Oh, I'm so flattered, my mother cares about me so much that she will make chicken soup for me by herself, and I can only drink it alone, then I have to taste it!" Zhang Zezhen shouted loudly outside, and then signaled Xu Yue not to speak.

After Xiao Ju heard this, she left satisfied.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Why don't you just drink chicken soup?"

"Chicken soup? How can it be so simple?" Zhang Zezhen took out a hairpin from her head, then put it in the chicken soup, and after waiting for a while, the color of the hairpin turned dark.

"This soup is poisonous!" Xu Yue was shocked, "I'll go find my mother and see what she wants to do!"

"Don't worry, this is not a poison, but a slippery pill, which is an herb to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant."

"I think my mother is crazy!"

"Oh, why are you so impulsive! Sit down!"

"My mother is going to be poisoned, how can I not be impulsive?"

"Your mother's little trick is not enough to want to poison me, at best, she doesn't want me to give you a baby."

"Why is that?"

"Have you forgotten about fortune telling?"

"It seems that she, like her father-in-law, doesn't believe Xu Mingyuan's words."

"What does this mean, well-said, how did you get involved with my father?"

"Have you forgotten that when we first got home, my father-in-law called me into the study to talk alone?"

"What did you say?"

"He just said over and over again, you must be good to me, and if you don't want to, you can also have no children. He also said that such a thing as the eight characters of the birthday, don't be too superstitious, it's not allowed."

"Hey, it seems that my father has also found someone to calculate it for me, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing, it's really embarrassing for him."

"Which statement do you think he believes?"

"I'm dead!"

Xu Yue's eyes widened, he thought Zhenzhen was joking, "Don't joke, if my father-in-law believes this statement, how can he behave so calmly in front of us?"

"This is the difference between parents and children, what father wants to believe in the fact that his daughter is gone, and he is still standing in front of him."

"You're saying that even if he knew the truth, he wouldn't want to believe it?"

Zhang Zezhen nodded.

"No, if you're really dead, are we having a secret marriage?"

"Maybe, right? It's too late to regret it!"

"Who's afraid of whom? When people die eventually, don't they all have to sleep in coffins in the end?"

"Official, your consciousness is quite high!"

"Don't talk about that useless, let's talk about this chicken soup first?"

"What else can I do? It's down!"

"With my mother's character, she will definitely send it every day, and maybe she will stare at you to drink."

"When the time comes, you'll have to pierce this layer of window paper."

"Then you sit, I'll go and pour it into the backyard and feed the cats."

"That's hard for the cat!"

"Young lady, young lady!" Zhang Zezhen's name was shouted outside.

She got up and opened the door to see that it was Lao He in the kitchen.

"What's wrong, Lao He?"

"The master said that you are going to make a big dish today, and he told us to come and ask, what do you need to buy?"

"So, when I'm done, I'll give it

How about you send it over?"

"Okay, then I'll go first, young lady."
