Liu Yun is also a careful person. It would be okay if the son-in-law only said that it would be "troublesome" for the couple to take care of the children on their behalf, but his daughter is his wife and the mother of several little treasures. How could he see it this way?
outside?
She silently looked at Chu Nanzhi, who was enjoying a glass of wine carelessly, with doubts in her eyes.
Out of the corner of her eye, Chu Nanzhi saw Liu Yun's questioning look, and quickly pretended to be fine and said, "Drink up, mother, this is Haikang County's famous Zhuse wine. It has a mellow and delicious taste, and it can also improve your beauty."
"
When sisters Chu Nanzhu and Chu Nanxiang heard this, they immediately picked up the wine bowl in front of them with smiles and tasted it, then showed intoxicated expressions on their faces.
Liu Yun raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips and said, "I'm already so old, so why should I be beautiful or have good looks?"
"How old can you be? It's just the right age. Just in time, I bought some jewelry for you, A Zhu, and A Xiang. Tomorrow, let the sisters dress up for you. When you come to your father, he will treat you as your daughter again.
The young lady who has not yet left the palace will watch."
After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking with a smile, Chu Wenbi almost spit out the wine he had just sipped, and coughed several times. Chu Nanxiang patted his back several times before he calmed down a lot.
Liu Yun's frown deepened, and she said displeasedly: "She is also a wife of a fifth-rank official, and she has not been able to speak properly all day long."
Then, his eyes turned to Lin Jinxiao, and he asked amiably: "Dalang, are you having some conflict with Da Zhi?"
"Mother, what are you making blind suspicions about? How can there be any conflicts if my relationship with my husband is so close?"
Before Lin Jinxiao could answer, Chu Nanzhi quickly rushed to answer.
Liu Yun didn't believe her words this time, and still looked directly at Lin Jinxiao.
At this time, Dabao also sat back after feeding the tiger cub, and everyone looked at her.
Chu Nanzhi looked a little embarrassed, cast a charming look at Lin Jinxiao, and whispered: "Damn it, my mother is asking you something."
"Oh, my mother-in-law is too worried."
Lin Jinxiao replied calmly: "My son-in-law and my wife have always been very good, and she treats me well."
After a pause, he looked at Chu Nanzhi with burning eyes, and said with a meaningful smile: "My wife treats my son-in-law very well and takes good care of him."
Liu Yun nodded doubtfully, and looked at Liu Shuyang who was concentrating on feeding Xiao Muci.
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhu pinched his son-in-law hard. Liu Shuyang shuddered, and seeing the situation on the table, he immediately replied:
"Yes, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and eldest sister are very nice. You don't know yet, but my brother-in-law and I just arrived in Haikang County. When my brother-in-law saw someone bullying my eldest sister, he was so angry that his hair stood on end.
The little gangster was crippled."
"Ah, really?"
Liu Yun was shocked when she heard this, and did not care about Chu Nanzhi. She looked at Lin Jinxiao with an earnest look on her face: "Da Lang, you are not injured anywhere, are you?"
"That little hooligan doesn't dare to do anything to my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law has the Emperor's Sword in his hand, so no one dares to disrespect him."
Liu Shuyang said again with great interest.
"The Emperor's Sword?"
Chu Wenbi knew what it was. Thinking of how Jiang Xueyi, the eldest son-in-law of the Qi family, knelt down and kowtowed when he saw his son-in-law just now, he couldn't help but ask: "Dalang, I heard that the person who stole the fish just now was Da Zhi's aunt."
?”
"Willow leaves?"
Liu Yun thought she heard wrongly and confirmed again.
Liu Shuyang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and helped Lin Jinxiao reply: "It's not that aunt, Jiang Xueyi must have sent someone to her house."
"this"
Liu Yun sounded a little embarrassed, angry and annoyed, but also couldn't bear it.
"Eat everything inside and out."
Chu Wenbi cursed in anger, looked at Liu Yun decisively, and warned: "If those in her family come to plead for mercy, don't be so soft-hearted. They are simply heartless pigs and dogs. We don't care about what happened last time."
, this time he actually colluded with outsiders to harm his own sisters."
Liu Yun looked around at a pair of cold eyes, nodded with determination, and brought the topic back to the previous question: "Da Lang, you and Da Zhi don't have any conflicts. You can live at home for the time being.
The injury on your leg has not healed yet, so you went to Haikang County to deal with it for several days."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jinxiao replied calmly: "I'll just bring some medicine and it'll be fine."
Looking at the stubborn look in the young boy's face, Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized that something was wrong. From the time of the assassination at Duanlongshan to now, although he had acted very docilely in front of her, he had not agreed to look after his injuries.
Could it be that he has begun to alienate himself?
That's good, as it saves him from having to worry about self-strategy all day long.
He had promised him that he would wait until his leg injury healed before they reconciled, but he didn't know if this would drag him down.
"Anyway, he has already promised himself, so he shouldn't deny it."
Thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi also relaxed and went to pick up food for the little ones.
A few days have passed, and Liu Yun has made many of the dishes she taught her. She can already make braised fish fillets with a very good taste for the carp brought back from Sunjiacun.
Dabao looked at the fish pieces his mother put in the bowl and felt that something was wrong today. He stared at Lin Jinxiao blankly and asked cautiously: "Dad, do you really want to live in the county government alone?"
"Um."
Lin Jinxiao smiled softly: "You must listen carefully to mother and grandma at grandma's house, and don't be naughty again."
"good."
Dabao nodded obediently: "I will practice calligraphy at grandma's house and accompany Hu Bao."
After saying that, I couldn't help but look at the tiger cubs in the frame in the corner.
The second treasure and the third treasure seemed to have noticed something. Gu stared at the fourth treasure with his small eyes. The fourth treasure expressed his ignorance and shook his head blankly. After that, the few little ones lowered their heads and continued to eat.
Under the dim night, Jiang Xueyi led his wife Qi Yuhuan and the old housekeeper back to Qi's house in a hurry.
In the splendid and spacious living room, clusters of candles burned everywhere, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.
Seeing the group of people returning, Qi Yujie led a group of maids and supported a gray-haired old woman to greet them. They each met each other, and Qi Yuhuan threw herself into the old lady's arms feeling aggrieved and cried bitterly:
"Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter. Not only did Xue Yi not take care of the Chu family for her today, he also beat her."
Mrs. Zheng, the old mistress of the Qi family, raised her eyes and looked at her son-in-law, who had a gloomy face and an expression of extreme dissatisfaction. She immediately smiled stiffly and said, "Well done, well done."
"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law advises you not to play tricks like this in the future."
Jiang Xueyi pointed at the unconvinced Qi Yuhuan and said loudly: "If my son-in-law hadn't arrived in time today, I would have become a dead soul under Lin Jinxiao's sword."
As he said that, he snorted disdainfully: "If you continue to act so willfully and recklessly, your small impatience will mess up your big plans. Not only will you offend Lin Jinxiao, I'm afraid my son-in-law will be dismissed before he takes office."
After hearing this, Zheng's frown deepened: "It's so serious, Xueyi, are you the military supervisor of the Coast Guard?"
"My son-in-law, this military prisoner is useless."
When this matter was mentioned, Jiang Xueyi became angry. He thought that as his term was about to expire, he would be transferred to the county. Unexpectedly, he was transferred to Luyan Port and given such a difficult job to himself.
He looked around at the mother and daughter angrily, and said with a lonely look on his face:
"The sky in Luyan Port has changed. Lin Jinxiao holds the Emperor's Sword in his hand and has the right to kill first and then report later. According to the news that my son-in-law received today, he went to Haikang County in just a few days and killed the county captain with thunderous means.
Qi Luan then dismissed seven or eight officials at all levels and confiscated countless properties. Is it possible that you want to make the same mistake again?"
"The Emperor's Sword?"
Zheng was stunned when she heard this: "How did he get the Emperor's Sword from Broken House? He hasn't even gone to Jingling City yet, so how did he suddenly become the fifth-grade county magistrate of Luyan Port?"
"With those two old guys Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an here, nothing is impossible. Mother-in-law, don't forget that Chang Yanjue was the Crown Prince and Tutor back then."
Jiang Xueyi solemnly reminded with half-squinted eyes.
Zheng nodded slowly in realization, turned to look at Qi Yujie who was silent, and lamented unwillingly: "Is this how you can endure the anger your aunt and Chen'er have suffered?"
"Sooner or later, someone will speak up for us. Mother-in-law, please stop worrying about this matter."
Jiang Xueyi finished his earnest instructions and walked into the back hall in silence, minding his own business.
Mrs. Zheng looked at the retreating figure, her old eyes blinking drowsily, and she couldn't help but sigh sadly: "This son-in-law has changed, I'm afraid he won't be able to control it anymore."
