The three Xu Yue brothers and sisters had just returned to their residence in the city. Before they could enter the gate, they saw a figure standing furtively outside the gate and looking around.
Seeing them coming, the man rushed over excitedly.
As the person got closer, Xu Yue recognized that it was Senior Brother Zhang Huai who was a former classmate in the academy.
But why does this handsome guy in his prime look so tired now, like a wandering poet?
"Second mother!"
Xu Erniang frowned in displeasure, and the other party seemed to have just reacted and quickly changed her words: "My lord Goddess! It's not good!"
Xu Erniang turned back and glanced at Xu Yue and Xu Dalang. The brother and sister entered the house knowingly.
After the two left, Zhang Huai immediately said anxiously: "Zhao Yuanji is missing!"
Xu Yue and Xu Dalang, who were hiding behind the door, took a deep breath when they heard this.
My sister actually let one of her admirers look at her other admirer? Aren't they afraid of a fight between them?
Looking at the tortured and haggard look of Senior Brother Zhang Huai, Xu Yue suddenly understood what had happened to him.
However, Zhao Yuanji actually ran away?
"Who took him away?" Xu Erniang asked doubtfully, with a calm look on her face.
Zhang Huai looked at her indifferent expression and felt suspicious in his heart, but he also thought that there were many conflicts between the two and they had not seen each other for almost two years. Maybe Zhao Yuanji was not that important to her anymore, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Zhang Huai shook his head. He didn't know who took Zhao Yuanji away. "I haven't reported it yet. Er Niang, do you want to report it? After all, Zhao Yuanji's identity..."
Xu Erniang raised her hand, interrupted Zhang Huai's unfinished words, and asked, "When did you disappear?"
"I didn't see you that night when you returned to Yuyang." Zhang Huai replied.
"Oh, then he is really unlucky." Xu Erniang sneered. She also thought that after finishing the things at hand, she would take the twins over to see Zhao Yuanji.
Now it’s okay, there’s no need to go.
"He is such a big fool. The only person in this world who really cares about him is me. Without me, he is nothing!"
Xu Erniang waved her hand and signaled Zhang Huai to go to the Yamen to report the crime.
Zhang Huai glanced at her hesitantly, "Can I still get it back?"
"It's been so many days, and it's probably impossible to get back." Xu Erniang said with certainty.
However, the procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed.
"Brother, what are you doing here? I gave you the task of guarding Zhao Yuanji, but you failed me and I didn't say anything." Xu Erniang looked helpless.
But the calmer she became, the more worried Zhang Huai became, "Er Niang, are you really okay?"
After all, Zhao Yuanji is the person she has cared about since she was young. Being treated like this is tantamount to betrayal. Is she really not sad?
As if she knew what he was thinking, Xu Erniang showed a sad smile at the right time and said, "I'm fine. Senior brother, please go and do your work first. I just came back from Zhuangzi and I'm a little tired."
Zhang Huai felt a pang in his heart when he saw her like this, but he also knew that no amount of comfort would be superfluous. He nodded and told Xu Er to have a good rest and call him if he had anything to do. He turned around and ran towards the government office.
As he ran, he looked back at the people behind him, until they had already entered the door and disappeared, then he stepped into the government office filled with anger.
Zhao Yuanji, you are so ignorant!
Er Niang treats you sincerely, but you dare to betray her!
Zhang Huai secretly clenched his fists and vowed to look good to Zhao Yuanji.
Of course, the premise is that he can catch up with others.
In other words, the reason why Zhao Yuanji was able to escape so smoothly was partly due to his indulgence.
...
"Zhao Yuanji ran away." Xu Erniang returned home, looked at Xu Yue, and apologized.
Xu Yue shook her head, "He has no value."
After staying in Yuyang for two years, Gongsun Zan no longer needed him as a useless emperor.
The reason why Zhao Yuanji was taken away was probably because something happened in the northern capital, and he had to take risks to take Zhao Yuanji back to take charge of the overall situation.
"Where are Lao Wutou and He Zeng?" Xu Yue asked A'er, who stayed in the house to guard the house.
Ah Er hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "She should be busy in the communications camp."
"Let the two of them check what happened in Beigong." Xu Yue ordered.
Ah Er took the order, took the bicycle parked by the door and went out.
Watching A'er walk away, Xu Yue finally remembered to visit her sister. Seeing that her expression was as usual, she had washed her hands and was about to go into the house to see the two children. She swallowed her questions silently.
Xu Dalang patted Xu Yue on the shoulder and told her not to think too much. Xu Erniang was not so fragile.
It would be better if Zhao Yuanji left, so there would be no need to waste energy on concealing the twins' life experience.
Now, he guarantees that Zhao Yuanji will never know about the existence of the Northeast Plain until his death.
"Auntie!"
Two little figures stumbled out of the house. It was Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan who were attracted by the noise in the courtyard.
Shenzi chased the two of them to put on their clothes.
The temperature is high at noon, so you won't catch a cold if you don't wear clothes, but it doesn't look good with your bare buttocks.
"Uncle!" Xu Dongbei avoided the Son of God and threw himself into Xu Dalang's arms, refusing to dress.
Xu Pingyuan loved her aunt the most, so she slipped behind Xu Yue, not wanting to wear small clothes.
"This can't be done~" Xu Yue took her niece out and coaxed her while taking the clothes handed over by the Son of God:
"Girls can't run around naked, they have to wear small clothes."
Xu Pingyuan raised his hand and pointed at the scorching sun in the sky, "It's hot! No clothes!"
"It's even hotter if you don't wear it." Xu Yue held the little girl down to prevent her from running around, pointing at her white and tender arms like lotus roots and explained:
"If you don't wear clothes, your skin will not be protected and you will get sunburned."
Xu Pingyuan was stunned, "Really?"
Xu Yue nodded heavily, with a serious look on her face, and at the same time glared at Xu Dalang, who was holding Xu Dongbei and running around in the courtyard.
Xu Dalang coughed twice, put Xu Dongbei down uncomfortably, pressed him down and put on his clothes, and then Xu Yue looked away.
After coaxing the two children to get dressed, Xu Yue handed the children to her mother, got up and went into the house to bring out a large wooden basin.
"Northeast!" Xu Yue waved to her nephew and pointed to the empty wooden basin.
Xu Dongbei suddenly felt energetic, left his uncle, ran to the wooden basin, clapped his little hands, and in a flash, a basin full of water came out of the wooden basin.
When Xu Pingyuan saw it, she excitedly rushed out of her mother's arms and said, "Let's soak in some water~"
Xu Erniang looked at Xu Yue helplessly, "Auntie, you spoil them too much."
But seeing the twins lying in the tub happily playing with the water, I couldn't help but smile along with them.
The three adults played with the two children in the yard for a while, and then Ah Er came back with Lao Wutou.
Old Wutou said: "Zhao Yuanji should have escaped in the caravan. Over there in Beidu... our people did not penetrate that deep, but there were reports from spies, and all the doctors from Beidu were brought into the palace.
Already..."
Xu Yue glanced at her eyebrows, why did she take away such a doctor?
