Tao Yanwu returned to the inn with a complicated expression.

"You're back, how are you? Commander Yang, are you polite to you?"

Tao Yanwu slowly raised his head and looked coldly at Du Fanghua who stepped forward diligently.

"What's going on?" Du Fanghua looked at him in confusion and said, "You are looking at me like this, but there is something on my face?" After saying this, she raised her hand and touched her smooth porcelain face.

He leaned slightly and chuckled: "I can't touch it, why don't you take a look for me?" He said and moved his face forward.

In the past, Tao Yanwu would have brought her into his arms for some intimacy. But today, when she came forward with a smile, Tao Yanwu raised his hand to block Du Fanghua's approach.

Du Fanghua had doubts in her heart, but when she saw Tao Yanwu's actions, her doubts immediately became certain. However, she still didn't quite understand the reason for Tao Yanwu's displeasure! It was because his father did not help him when he became an official.

Or is it because I was angry outside and in a bad mood?

"You all go down!" Du Fanghua waved his hand and dismissed the waiters in the room. He turned around and made a cup of tea with his own hands and handed it to Tao Yanwu. He said softly: "Husband, what's going on? But Commander Na Yang

Did he make things difficult for you?"

Tao Yanwu took the tea cup from Du Fanghua's hand and lowered his eyelids slightly. In his mind were Zi Su's words as cold as ice.

"If that was not your original intention, then why haven't you asked anyone to send a few words over the years? If that was not your original intention, where have you been all these years?"

"When Mr. Tao was an official, he knew that people in the world like to add icing on the cake, but don't like to give embarrassment when the time is right. Now, whether it is icing on the cake or icing on the cake, we don't need it!"

"We are living well without you! It will be better in the future!"

Tao Yanwu gently placed the tea cup in his hand on the table, raised his chin to Du Fanghua, and motioned for her to sit down.

Du Fanghua hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and sat down in the chair directly opposite Tao Yanwu. She slightly raised her eyes to look at Tao Yanwu's expression.

a long time!

"Back then, when I carried my father-in-law out of the pile of dead people and my father-in-law woke up and said that he wanted to betroth you to me, I made it clear that I came from a humble background and I was afraid that I was not worthy of a young lady from a wealthy family like you..."

"Husband," Du Fanghua looked at Tao Yanwu blankly, a little panic arose in his heart, and interrupted Tao Yanwu: "You are so good, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

A smile appeared on Tao Yanwu's stiff face. He ignored Du Fanghua's words and said to himself: "But my father-in-law said that you are kind, gentle and sincere. You have read "Women's Rules" and "Women's Rings" since you were a child. You are praised as a hero regardless of the source.

A good man from Cambrian!"

A faint and complicated smile appeared on Du Fanghua's face.

So how could it be her original intention? It's just because there are many sisters in the family, and she is born as a stepmother. Although she is considered a direct descendant, there are two sisters in front of her who are the first wives to suppress her, and she has figured out her father's preferences.

, to say something like that!

When she learned that her father had betrothed her to a little soldier with no official status, she almost killed herself with a piece of white silk! If her mother hadn't asked people to inquire in private, it was said that this little soldier not only saved her father's life,

He also looks handsome. He also said that as a father, he will definitely support this little soldier who is kind to him!

She just gritted her teeth and took a chance! Fortunately, the result did not disappoint her in the end.

"My father-in-law has been kind to me, and he even gave me a name in person." Tao Yanwu took a sip from the tea cup on the table, and looked at Du Fanghua with gentle eyes, "After we get married, you will do your best to take care of the house.

Things like raising children and raising children have made me dedicated to doing meritorious service in battles. The reason why I am where I am today cannot be separated from you and my father-in-law!"

"This is what a wife should do." Du Fanghua raised her head, looked at Tao Yanwu with soft eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Although my husband comes from a poor family, his knowledge and ability are not inferior to others. Right now, all these are my husband's."

Fanghua dare not take credit for the results of his own efforts!"

Tao Yanwu looked at his lovely wife who had a gentle face and generous words!

The hands hanging in the sleeves were clenched tightly, and the smile on his face slowly faded away.

Du Fanghua had been observing his expression carefully, never letting go of the changes in his expression, and could not help but secretly raise her vigilance. After many years of marriage, although she occasionally acted coquettishly and willfully, Tao Yanwu could tolerate and pamper her.

This does not include one thing! The smile on Du Fanghua's face did not diminish, but her back quietly straightened up, and her whole body was in an unnatural state of alert.

He also speculated in his heart, could it be that Tao Yanwu came to Huayang County not to cooperate with Commander Nayang in horse trafficking, but for other purposes? What could that be?

Or is it for... Just as Du Fanghua was thinking hard, Tao Yanwu's words rang in his ears.

"Six years ago, the year we got married, did you send someone to Huayang County and ask him to go to Taojia Village?"

With a "pop" sound, Du Fanghua's long sleeves knocked over the tea cup on the table. The tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Even Du Fanghua's gorgeous clothes were splashed with a few drops of tea.

I wiped off the inconspicuous tea stains with my handkerchief, while trying my best to suppress the panic in my heart. She said coquettishly: "Husband, where did you hear this gossip? Why did I send someone here to do it?"

Tao Yanwu's eyes fell on Du Fanghua's slightly trembling hands. Although Du Fanghua denied it, he already understood something in his heart! But the strange thing was that he didn't seem as angry as he thought!

He thought that once he discovered the truth, he would not be able to tolerate it! However, except for the heavy pain in his heart, he felt nothing else!

It’s probably because of what Zisu said!

Yes, what reason does he have to blame Du Fanghua? If he could have people come to look for them earlier, if he could care about their life and death, no matter how thoughtful Du Fanghua is, what can he do?

Tao Yanwu slowly raised the corners of his mouth, with a worried smile on his face.

Du Fanghua had been secretly watching him. Now she saw the charming smile on his face and couldn't help but trembled: "Husband, what's wrong with you? But you have already found your mother-in-law and sister-in-law?"

"Yes." Tao Yanwu nodded: "I have already seen them!"

Du Fanghua's face turned pale, her lips trembled and she said, "What... when did it happen?"

"Just before I came back." Tao Yanwu pushed the tea cup in front of him, "Drink some water!"

"No, no need." Du Fanghua calmed down, "This tea is cold. I'll ask them to serve a new one."

Tao Yanwu ignored Du Fanghua who was walking towards the door. He just stared blankly at the ground under his feet.

Du Fanghua, who walked to the door, turned back and glanced at Tao Yanwu, who had a dull expression. An almost invisible gloom flashed in his big almond-shaped eyes.

If her father hadn't become an official, why should she be afraid of him?

Even if she asked someone to tell his family that he had died in battle, so what? Such a bunch of paupers didn't know how to drag her down! She was not willing to find an illiterate and rubbish-looking mother-in-law for nothing.

serve!

What should we do now?

She knew that his sudden suggestion to come to Huayang was not a good thing! Any idea of ​​finding someone to do business with was just an excuse!

Du Fanghua spat fiercely in her heart, and after asking the woman waiting outside the door to make tea again, she finally had to turn around and walked to Tao Yanwu, and sat down uneasily.

He leaned a little, deliberately raised a smile and said: "How are my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law? Husband, it's true that you found it, but you didn't even come to tell me, so I could go and say hello to my mother-in-law."

Tao Yanwu suddenly raised his head when he heard Du Fanghua's sudden voice.

Du Fanghua suddenly met his suddenly raised red eyes, her scalp went numb, and her whole body froze as if she had been struck by lightning. She had heard her father say that her husband killed people on the battlefield with red eyes, and in the end

Everyone who was close to him was killed! In shock, he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Tao Yanwu frowned and looked strangely at Du Fanghua, who fell to the ground with a frightened look on his face.

She is afraid of him!

Tao Yanwu suddenly remembered Zisu's flying and fearless face!

He remembered that she was so young when she was taken away, as small as a two-month-old puppy. When he first knew that she was going to be given away, he hugged her and hid, not wanting her to be given away!

She must not know, right? She didn’t know that she once cried in his arms! She didn’t know that he once felt sorry for her and pitied her just like other people’s brothers!

Tao Yanwu suddenly felt as if his heart had been cut open by some sharp blade, and a feeling that he had not experienced for a long time quietly surged into his heart. As this feeling spread from his heart to his whole body, his throat felt as if someone had punched him.

, pain like a knife.

"Husband!"

Du Fanghua stared in astonishment at the two big tears that suddenly fell on Tao Yanwu's face.

Tao Yanwu cried?

God, how is this possible?

It's just that Tao Yanwu didn't give her more time to express her feelings.

"Get ready, we will go to pay homage to my mother tomorrow!"

"Why……"

Zisu didn't know about this incident at the inn.

Perhaps, even if she knew, she would just shrug and say "crocodile tears" in a cold tone. Just like what she is saying to Aunt Tao right now. She is rational and without any emotion!

"Perhaps, tomorrow he will bring someone to come to greet you."

Aunt Tao had not yet woken up from the shock that Brother Tao had come back from the dead. At this moment, she suddenly heard Zi Su say that Brother Tao would bring people to pay her respects. She immediately turned pale and said: "He...is he really your eldest brother?"

Zi Su raised her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Tao coldly.

When Aunt Tao met Zi Su's gaze, the surprise on her face seemed to be frozen, and she lowered her head in a slightly flirtatious manner.

Zisu sighed. She could understand Aunt Tao's mood, but she had her concerns!

"Second sister, he...will he bring his sister-in-law to pay his respects to my mother?"

The fourth sister on one side asked softly. She did not dare to call Tao Yanwu her eldest brother because this was what Zisu had told her repeatedly before. Zisu even did not hesitate to say that if she recognized Tao Dadi, she would not have to recognize her as the second sister.

My sister naturally chose her without any doubt.

As soon as the fourth sister finished speaking, Aunt Tao immediately raised her face and looked at Zisu with earnest eyes.

Zi Su looked into Aunt Tao's excited and anxious eyes, and suddenly thought unkindly, maybe she should let Aunt Tao make her own choice. The son is hers, but the wife is someone else's, right? Judging from the look of Tao Daddy, he is doing well!
