Neither of them slept well last night, so they wanted to take a rest before the dinner. Unexpectedly, when they came to the bedroom, they encountered a problem. In the room, there was a big Kang set up near the window, and apart from some simple beds (folding chairs), there was only a chaise longue, which was narrow and small. This is how to do? You can't worry about Fourth Master Hu asking for a bed. Are you worried that no one will suspect that they, a loving couple, don't love each other?
Mingyi looked at Xue Lin with embarrassment, "How about... let's sleep on the kang together?" Xue Lin looked at her. Although she was talking about sleeping on the kang together, the expression on her face was almost overflowing. He shook his head and pointed to the chaise longue, "It doesn't matter, I'll sleep there." "The chair is too narrow and small, how can I sleep on it?" Mingyi frowned, "How about I sleep on the chair and you sleep on the kang?" "You sleep on the chair and I sleep on the kang?" Xue Lin repeated, with a strange smile in his tone. "Yes!" Mingyi nodded, "The chair is so small, I can sleep on it, but it's too hard for you to sleep. Where can I rest?" "But if I let you sleep on the chair and I slept on the kang, would you believe it if I turned around and told my beloved daughter that I would treat your father-in-law well? If your father knew about it, he would tell you Am I not done yet?" Xue Lin said with a smile. When he finished speaking, he lay down directly on the imperial concubine chair and occupied the seat. Mingyi was still in the same place with Mingyi hanging in the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her, but saw her Standing there, his expression was a little gloomy. He suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing just now, and his expression softened slightly, "Do you miss your father and mother?" Mingyi nodded lightly, and he lay down. She didn't show any pretense, took off her shoes, got on the kang, and lay down comfortably, but she still couldn't hide her sad look, "When I left, my father's legs were still there." Okay, although they said yes every time they wrote back, I still felt uneasy. I originally asked Gillian to go take a look and tell me the truth, but who knows, she also said yes in her letter. Is it really good? But I’m not sure at all.” "Don't worry! My father-in-law's leg is fine, but it has been injured for a hundred days. It's better to take care of it. In this way, I can spend more time with my mother-in-law in the house. You and your uncle are not with them. , although they don’t talk about it, they are inevitably lonely, and it is good to spend more time with each other. Moreover, Princess Changning does come to visit from time to time, and they treat the princess well..." Xue Lin put her arms behind her head. , said slowly.
Mingyi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and then he asked strangely, "How do you know?" After asking, he felt that he had asked the wrong question. With his sharp eyes and ears in Wangjing City, if he wanted to know, he would know it naturally. Xue Lin didn't reply. He closed his eyes and remained silent, as if he was asleep. "Thank you..." Mingyi's eyes flashed, and after a moment, she said hoarsely. Xue Lin didn't respond, his breathing was even and long, as if he was really asleep. Mingyi looked sideways at him, and after a while she felt sleepy, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. When she woke up again, the sky outside was already dark, and there were no lights in the room. It took Mingyi a few breaths to adapt to the light when she woke up. "Madam, are you awake?" Wei Yu, who was guarding the outer room, might have heard the noise and came from outside holding a lamp. Mingyi turned to look at the imperial concubine not far away, and then she saw that Xue Lin was no longer there. . Following her gaze, Wei Yu already said, "Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I went to the banquet alone and asked you to sleep! Are you hungry, madam? The servant here said, if so, When Madam woke up and felt hungry, she informed them to prepare food." Mingyi nodded, "Just prepare something light." Weiyu took the order and went, and after a while, he brought a bowl of chicken soup noodles. It tasted pretty good. Mingyi finished eating. It was getting late, but Xue Lin had no sign of coming back. Mingyi took a walk in the house to eat. Xue Lin did not wait for him to come back, but the young man from the Hu family waited for him. "Mrs. Rong, the banquet is over now, but our master and Mr. Rong haven't seen each other for a long time." , I was really happy, so I left him to drink. Mr. Rong accidentally drank too much and shouted for Madam to pick him up. The Master had no choice but to ask the younger one to come and inform Madam." Mingyi's thoughts were racing, but the boy was waiting in front of her. She couldn't help but think too much. She followed him out of the room with an anxious expression. She nodded at brothers Lu Zhao and Lu Ming at the door and said, "You two follow me." Let’s go together.” The two Lu Zhao brothers clasped their fists in response, and the boy did not stop them. They walked out of the courtyard together and headed towards the main courtyard. Seeing the brightly lit main courtyard ahead, Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that She has a villainous heart. Could it be that Xue Lin was drunk and asked her to pick him up?
Just as I was thinking about it, I was stopped by someone on the road ahead. Who else could be wearing that flaming red dress besides A Yue, the wife of the Hu family? Mingyi now knew that Madam Hu, who was very hot and mature, was only fourteen years old. When she looked at her again, she felt indescribably uncomfortable. Ah Yue looked at her and obviously didn't like her. When he saw her, he snorted and said, "She came here in such a short time. If you are so worried, are you going to tie yourself to a man's belt?" Is that okay?" After saying that, she turned around and left, slightly raising her head arrogantly. Her contempt for Mingyi was clearly expressed in her words, expressions and eyes. Mingyi turned to look at the girl's back, her brows furrowed slightly, and a dark shadow flashed across her eyes very quickly. She turned back and stepped forward as if nothing had happened. In a moment, she arrived at the main hall of the Hu's villa. At this time, the banquet in the hall had really dispersed, the singing and dancing had stopped, and the hall was full of leftovers. It was very likely that after the feast, the interest was dull. Only the first few table tables were occupied by people, but except for Fourth Master Hu, Mingyi didn't recognize the few people next to them. Xue Lin was sitting under Fourth Master Hu, holding his forehead with his hands, his eyes blurred. He looked as if he had really drunk too much. Mingyi knew how much he drank, and she was really anxious for a moment. How much did he drink?
"Ah! My brothers and sisters are here?" Fourth Master Hu also smelled of alcohol. He turned to look at Xue Lin and smiled strangely, "Brother Rong said he would stay with us until we get drunk tonight. Now my brothers and sisters are here to pick them up. , are you going to leave us and go back to Wenrou Township?" Only then did Xue Lin see Mingyi, a smile appeared on his face, and he stood up unsteadily. Mingyi saw that his figure was unstable and was about to fall over. At that moment, he couldn't care about anything else and subconsciously He rushed over and helped him.
He did seem to stand firm against her, but Mingyi clearly felt that his arm hanging on her shoulders was deliberately avoided, instead of leaning directly on her neck, and his hand was holding hers through his sleeve. On his arm, it looked like she was holding him up, but in fact, she didn't use much strength. Mingyi's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly raised her eyelashes to look at Xue Lin. He was also looking down at her. As soon as their eyes touched, they looked away again. Xue Lin listened to Fourth Master Hu's words and didn't respond for a long time. It wasn't until Mingyi called out "Master" in a low voice and said to him, "Fourth Master is talking to you" that he seemed to realize it belatedly and turned around. He looked at Fourth Master Hu, and then said slowly, "No, no... Since my wife is here to pick her up, I can't drink. I have to go back with her, otherwise she will be angry. I don't dare... I don't dare to offend her. angry!"
