Xiao Jingtong didn't know the real reason for the quarrel between his husband and his wife. He just thought that Xiao Ci had made Song Qinghuan unhappy.
This time he was pretending, like a little adult trying to persuade him to make peace.
But Xiao Ci's expression was not very good-looking.
Today, even Song Qinghuan didn't let him go down the stairs. He also wanted to take a look at the house. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded distractedly.
Song Qinghuan himself felt uncomfortable, so he didn't notice anything was wrong with Xiao Ci. Without even looking at him, he went to sit down at the dining table.
Xiao Jingchuan returned from delivering a letter early in the morning and was not eating at home. Xiao Jingtong and Xiao Jingrou took Xiao Ci and sat down one after another.
Texue and Mai Qing put the food on the table and stood aside to prepare dishes for the two masters. Xiao Jingtong then took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of Xiao Jingrou.
The two sisters have always been on good terms, but this time they were not honest during the meal. From time to time, they would look up at Xiao Ci and Song Qinghuan's expressions, and make some witty remarks to lighten the atmosphere.
Xiao Ci was so worried that his brows turned into deep rivers, and his heart was filled with worries. The chirping of the two little girls made him a little upset. As soon as he raised his eyes, he said sternly: "You can't talk when you eat or sleep, you are such a big person."
, there are no rules at all, just go out if you don’t want to eat."
He has always been an easy-going person, and most of the time he is not very serious around his two daughters. He often gets into trouble with the children, and he is rarely so strict.
Xiao Jing was older and could still survive, but Xiao Jingrou was so frightened that a mouthful of meatballs got stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow it or spit it out. She bent over and retched twice.
Suddenly, everything felt wrong.
His little face was blue and purple from holding back, his chubby little hands were clasping his throat, tears were falling from his eyes, he was obviously choked.
Song Qinghuan glanced sideways, and his expression suddenly changed. He quickly picked her up and let her lie on his lap. He dragged her chin with one hand and patted her back rhythmically with the other.
Xiao Ci and Xiao Jingtong were also frightened. They stood aside and did not dare to say a word. It was not until Song Qinghuan patted out the piece of meatball stuck in Xiao Jingrou's throat that he relaxed.
Xiao Jingrou herself was frightened, her throat was sore and hoarse, she burst into tears and hugged Song Qinghuan's neck without letting go.
Song Qinghuan patted Xiao Jingrou's back to comfort her. When she raised her head and looked into Xiao Ci's eyes, she immediately felt angry.
He sent Xiao Jingrou to Ta Xue, and then told Xiao Jingtong: "Take your sister to Hanlianyuan, and then ask the kitchen to cook some food again and send it over." He also told Xiao Jingtong: "Be careful when eating."
Xiao Jingtong knew how to look at people's faces. He stood next to Texue, looked at Song Qinghuan, then at Xiao Ci, and said cautiously: "Mom, dad, if you have anything to say, please say it. Don't quarrel."
Song Qinghuan didn't say a word and only signaled to step on the snow.
Ta Xue didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly sent the children out with Mai Qing, and told the little maids in the yard to stay away and not to rush into each other.
The people in the room suddenly disappeared, and Song Qinghuan's temper could no longer be controlled. He said angrily to Xiao Ci: "The children didn't offend you, but they just said a few words during the meal. Is it necessary?"
Fortunately, I'm by your side today. What if something happens? Or should I say, Sister Rou is not your biological child, so it doesn't matter?"
Xiao Ci was also angry for a moment. He never expected that such a situation would result. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat just now when he saw Xiao Jingrou acting like this. When Song Qinghuan questioned him this time, he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that.
Even if Sister Rou is not my biological child, can't you tell if I have treated her as my biological daughter in the past few years?"
Then he said: "I was just upset. I heard the children talking endlessly, so I stopped them with words. I didn't mean anything else. Besides, I didn't expect Sister Rou to be choked. Qing Huan, I know you feel sorry for me."
I'm angry, but can you calm down first?"
Of course, Song Qinghuan couldn't calm down. If he hadn't been by his side just now, Xiao Jingrou might have been choked to death.
But she also knew that since that day when Xiao Ci confessed everything to her, she had been emotionally towards Xiao Ci. She took a few deep breaths and then suppressed the annoyance in her heart, and put her head on the embroidered pier on the side.
He sat down and stopped talking.
Xiao Ci was in a hurry and couldn't coax Song Qinghuan in detail. He organized his words and said: "Qinghuan, when you got married, did your mother say anything special to you or give you anything special?
, and what’s more, it’s your biological mother. When she was alive, did she..."
"Xiao Ci, you want to ask me if I have the whereabouts of the national jade seal, right?" Song Qinghuan's suppressed anger suddenly rose again. He looked at Xiao Ci sarcastically and said, "Thank you for what you said to me.
We have been in love for a long time, and if you are sincere to me, it has only been a few days, and you can no longer pretend to be infatuated?"
Xiao Ci was also very irritable. He wanted to have a good talk with Song Qinghuan, but her unreasonable words made him feel very uncomfortable.
Although he had a purpose when he first came into contact with Song Qinghuan, later on when he was planning to marry her, whether it was because of his own purpose or because he wanted to marry, he couldn't tell.
In the past few years, he has devoted himself to the person in front of him, and even retreated all the way to the Ruizhou fiefdom to guard her for her. Is it possible that she cannot see these things, and the only things she can see are those things that make her feel uncomfortable?
Xiao Ci knew that he could not be angry with Song Qinghuan, so he did not argue with her. He just paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. After suppressing the anger in his heart, he said in a gentle voice: "Qinghuan, that thing
If you hold it in your hand or guard it, you will bring disaster to yourself."
He said: "Now, the Yun family and the Song family are gone, and the things have not been found. That person has taken action, either on you or on Liaodong. If you really don't know where he is, think carefully about whether there is anything there."
If there's anything wrong, tell me whenever you think of anything. We don't want the imperial seal. Throw it as far as you can. That thing is not a good thing for you, me, or Jing Yu."
"After all, it's because of that thing." Song Qinghuan sneered and said firmly: "You don't have to ask me. Let's not tell you. I don't know that this thing exists. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
That thing in the left sentence, that thing in the right sentence, left, right, and right are all for that thing. You may talk about your feelings in the front, but at the end it is just for that thing.
After all, it was only because of that thing that he stepped into this house today. Song Qinghuan felt so good in his heart, and said with full of malice: "The Yun family is gone, the Song family is gone, why should I let you succeed in finding it?"
Even if I die, I will hide this thing tightly and bury it with the Yun family and the Song family.
