Chapter 63 Couple

The cold wind howled.

The smile in Lu Chengfeng's eyes disappeared: "...Ji Li?"

Xie Jiuxiao noticed her change and stopped smiling: "Yes. What's wrong?"

Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "How old is Mr. Ji?"

"Thirty-five, what's wrong?"

Lu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just think this name is a bit interesting."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at her expression carefully, pursed her lips and said, "You lied to me."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, but did not deny it.

Xie Jiuxiao said: "Although I don't know what's going on, I guess you are ready to meet him?"

Lu Chengfeng did not hesitate and nodded: "Yes."

"when?"

"There's no rush yet."

Xie Jiuxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Can't you tell me?"

Lu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow with a faint smile: "What? Are you trying to tip off someone?"

Xie Jiuxiao looked innocent: "Master Lu, you must be aware of everything. I am devoted to you wholeheartedly."

Lu Chengfeng smiled: "It needs to be verified."

Xie Jiuxiao pretended to be heartbroken and said, "These words are so heartbreaking."

The two of them arrived at the gate in a blink of an eye. Zhuo San was already waiting with his horse. Lu Chengfeng glanced at it and said, "It's not the time yet."

Although Xie Jiuxiao was curious, she said it wasn't the right time yet, so she stopped asking and followed her down the front steps. He came out in a hurry and didn't even put on a cloak to keep out the cold. Lu Chengfeng was afraid of freezing.

He said: "It's just a few steps, go back."

Xie Jiuxiao said, "I want to see you off a few steps away."

Lu Chengfeng laughed and shook his head. Without saying anything else, she opened the car curtain and entered, then turned around.

The night wind was blowing, and Xie Jiuxiao was standing so casually, with her black hair flying, and her delicate satin blue robe framing a picturesque face. Her posture was obviously lazy, but her black eyes were staring at Lu Chengfeng intently.

, with extremely reluctant eyes, but could only watch helplessly.

Lu Chengfeng had never been in such a state of mind. At this moment, she really wanted to take back the person in front of her who was deliberately being obedient.

Lu Chengfeng's eyes were as heavy as a lake, her hands holding the curtain tightened, and she said calmly: "Go back, don't catch the cold."

Xie Jiuxiao nodded as he was told, but remained motionless.

Lu Chengfeng had no choice but to put down the curtain and Zhuo San drove away.

…

The night is already deep.

Ever since Zhou Lihua became pregnant, she had left a light on at night. The light was dim now, and she was tossing and turning inside, unable to sleep well when she thought about Lu Chengfeng.

Zhou Lihua was upset, she knew she should have asked for clarification just now.

Sensing the movement of the people around her, Zhou Lihua turned over, and Xie Yunqian sat beside the bed with his back to her, not knowing what he was thinking.

The couple had trouble sleeping due to their own worries.

Zhou Lihua looked at him silently for a while, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She half-propelled her body and hugged him from behind: "...can't sleep?"

Xie Yunqian said: "Did I wake you up?"

Zhou Lihua shook her head behind him and said, "Tell me what you are thinking about."

Xie Yunqian smiled and said: "It's just business, don't worry."

Zhou Lihua knew it in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

The Zhou family is a scholarly family, which is very different from the Xie family in terms of status. However, although the Zhou family is not in the officialdom, they are favored by Xie Yi. The original choice of this family was because Zhou Lihua was gentle, kind, and quite capable of being the head of the family.

She has a maternal demeanor and is extremely tolerant of people and things.

But now, Zhou Lihua felt sulky because of this. She stayed in the house all day long, doing trivial things like this or trivial things like that. She couldn't help Xie Yunqian in big things. If she could help like Lu Chengfeng,

He, he doesn't have to worry so much.

Zhou Lihua was silent for a long time. The ground fire burned the whole room as warm as spring. She pressed against Xie Yunqian's back, but she felt a chill all over her body. Zhou Lihua rubbed her cheek upwards. Xie Yunqian put his hand on the back of her waist. She heard Zhou Lihua

Said: "Miss Lu will be twenty-two soon. I remember that I was only nineteen when I married you. Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's so fast."

Xie Yunqian laughed when he heard this and said, "Why are you talking about this so easily?"

Zhou Lihua said: "I am not a jealous woman. If you like her and want to marry her back home, I agree to the marriage."

Xie Yunqian was stunned for a moment. He turned around, and Zhou Lihua could only let go of him. The woman's face didn't look very good under the dim light, but she still managed to smile.

Xie Yunqian was dumbfounded: "What are you thinking about in your head?"

Zhou Lihua was stunned and murmured: "...you...you are not..."

"She is certainly very good, but she and I can only be regarded as friends traveling together."

Zhou Lihua said: "But for so many years, the Xie family has never had a good relationship with anyone... I thought you..."

Xie Yunqian rubbed her head: "Silly Madam, are you really unable to tell or are you trying to test me on purpose? Have I ever glanced at the woman next to me in these years? Moreover, don't you think Jiuxiao kissed her too much?

"

Zhou Lihua's head was in knots, as if she understood but not quite understood, hesitantly said: "... Jiuxiao is really close to her, which is not too strange. After all, Miss Lu has saved him and helped the Xie family, and she is better than

Jiuxiao is three years older..."

As Zhou Lihua talked, she gradually frowned and suddenly understood what was wrong between the two of them.

Xie Jiuxiao's attitude towards Lu Chengfeng was indeed respectful, but every word was filled with unreasonable concern. When she heard her arrival, she ran out in a hurry. Even her sister-in-law had never been treated like this before, Zhou Lihua

He suddenly raised his head: "You mean Jiuxiao... He... He loves Miss Lu? Does Miss Lu know?"

Xie Yunqian said: "I'm afraid she knows, otherwise why would she mind her own business."

Zhou Lihua digested the news that shocked her, straightened her thoughts, and repeated in a low voice: "Mind your own business... mind your own business..."

Zhou Lihua thought about it: "Yes, why should she meddle in other people's business, if..."

"Today's Lu Chengfeng is not a prisoner from the Heavenly Prison a year ago. She is the commander of the Jinyi Guards under the direct control of the emperor, and she is Hu Rong's student. These two identities alone are enough to cover up the charge of collaborating with the enemy on her back.

If she doesn't care about Jiuxiao at all, why bother with all the trouble."

Zhou Lihua said thoughtfully: "No wonder, I always feel that something is wrong between the two of them, but..."

Zhou Lihua paused, and then said with some worry: "Although I don't know Miss Lu, I have heard some rumors about her. Such a woman does not seem to live in an inner house."

Xie Yunqian took her hand and squeezed it gently: "I have been thinking about this issue for a while. Lu Chengfeng is afraid that he will return to Subei soon. Once she leaves, it will take a year, two or five years, and she will be far away."

No time, Jiuxiao has a stubborn temper, I don’t know what trouble will happen when the time comes.”

When Zhou Lihua heard what he said, she couldn't help but worry: "...What should I do?"

Xie Yunqian added: "Maybe I think too much. Jiuxiao is becoming more calm now. Maybe he will figure it out by then."

Zhou Lihua nodded, then suddenly smiled, and said somewhat shockingly: "It seems that I was just thinking wildly. I thought you liked her."

Xie Yunqian raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "Madam is so generous, she actually agreed to my taking a concubine."

Zhou Lihua smiled sheepishly, lowered her head and said, "Don't I think Miss Lu is a very nice person? I misunderstood."

Xie Yunqian also laughed: "She and I are now officials in the same court, and we have some intersection in official matters. Plus Jiuxiao, if the two of us really get married, she will be my sister-in-law, half of the Xie family, and I will be a good person both in public and private matters."

Don’t neglect it.”

Zhou Lihua also felt that what he said was reasonable, and secretly thought that if she had the opportunity, she would definitely come and get close to her. After thinking about this, she lost her mind and opened her clothes a little, revealing her round shoulders.

Xie Yunqian's handsome and strong face was close at hand, and he whispered: "After more than three months, this fetus should be stable."

Zhou Lihua's cheeks turned red and she pushed him: "...what are you doing?"

Xie Yunqian's lips were close to her earlobe, and his warm breath enveloped Zhou Lihua. He noticed the slight trembling of her body and said maliciously: "What do you think I want to do?"

Even though they had been married for many years, Zhou Lihua still couldn't resist his teasing, and she whispered shyly: "I'm not serious..."

Xie Yunqian smiled lowly and couldn't help but kiss her cheek. Smelling the familiar fragrance, his whole heart relaxed.

He thought he might have the answer.

For Zhou Lihua, for the child in her belly, and for Jiuxiao, it is not impossible for the Xie family to keep their tail between their legs and be a good person. Just laugh at them if they are laughed at behind the back of the family. Life is indeed more important than anything else.

This male protagonist is very happy. His grandfather pampered him when he was a child, his brother doted on him when he grew up, and his wife will pamper him in the future.
