"I can bring her a child." It was difficult to say this at first, but the woman had to explain it clearly to avoid misunderstandings by Xie Fu.
The woman said and looked towards the bed. Following her gaze, Xie Fu discovered that there was a two or three-year-old child sleeping on the bed. He remembered what he had said to her in that situation just now...
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Xie Fu smiled.
"My benefactor, I had no intention of occupying the house. No one expected that you would come back in the middle of the night. If Xianting knew about it, it would definitely clean it up in advance and welcome you back."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Okay, I understand, you don't need to be nervous. By the way, what do you call me before I ask you?"
"My family name is Du and my name is Zhiwei."
"Zhiwei, a good name, the virtues of Zhiwei are also subtle."
The woman was surprised: "My benefactor is so talented, and the name of the slave family comes from the Book of Rites: Ritual Utensils."
Xie Fu glanced at her fingers. Although this woman was poor and had fair and smooth hands, she was not like someone who came from a poor background. It was not easy for him to find out other people's details.
"Mrs. Du is famous for her elegance and virtue."
"My benefactor, I'm so grateful."
"Don't call me my benefactor anymore. My last name is Xie Fu."
The woman lowered her head: "I know, Miss Xianting often mentions my benefactor, and I also heard many stories about my benefactor from Xiu'er."
Xie Fu smiled in his heart, because the story he heard from Xiu'er was probably not a good thing: "I told you not to call me your benefactor, that's all... um..."
Xie Fu looked towards the couch.
The woman understood immediately and walked quickly to the bed: "I will clean up and leave now so that my benefactor can sleep and rest."
Xie Fu saw her hurriedly packing her clothes and supplies while picking up her child, causing the sleeping child to cry loudly.
"Ms. Du, please stop taking care of me."
"No, if you don't clean up, where will my benefactor sleep at night?"
Xie Fu pointed towards the room in the west wing: "I'll go sleep over there."
Mrs. Du was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Xie Fu was going to sleep with Miss He Qing. She thought to herself, this is fine, she has a lot of women's belongings, and she didn't know when she would have to put them away in the middle of the night. She was afraid that Xie Fu would have to sleep with her.
Fu waited for a long time.
"My dear friend, I'm sorry."
"You should rest earlier."
Xie Fu said and opened the door gently, then suddenly turned around and said, "That's right."
"My dear benefactor, please give me your instructions."
"Just pretend I haven't been here, and you don't need to tell anyone about what happened tonight."
Du Zhiwei's cheeks turned red: "Yeah."
Just as Xie Fu was about to close the door, Du Zhiwei suddenly said: "My dear friend, I think we should tell Miss Xianting, lest Miss Xianting find out one day and cause misunderstanding. I...I don't want to hide it from her."
Thank you Fu Fu.
Du Zhi said softly: "Don't worry, my dear benefactor, I will omit the matter of you... holding..."
Xie Fu laughed: "Then you make the decision."
Xie Fu entered Tantai Heqing's room, and after learning from the past, he confirmed that it was Tantai Heqing sleeping on the couch, and then he gently hugged her from behind.
Tantai Heqing was immediately awakened, and Xie Fu was comforted: "Heqing, it's me."
Tantai Heqing breathed a sigh of relief: "You dead man, do you know that my heart skipped a beat and I was almost scared to death by you."
Xie Fu sniffed her ears and temples to feel the warmth of his wife.
Tantai He looked at the sky affectionately and asked, "Why do you come back in the middle of the night?"
"It was already late at night when we arrived in Suzhou, and I was in a hurry to go home."
Tantai He smiled affectionately: "You are used to being a thief and being sneaky. Let me tell you, I have a sharp weapon beside my bed. If you had opened your mouth slowly just now, I would have penetrated you."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "When did I become a thief?"
"You said no, you've been hiding in my boudoir a few times."
Xie Fu didn't argue, kissed her cheek and asked, "Did you miss me?"
"Don't make trouble, you just woke me up and I'm not smart yet."
"did you miss me?"
Tantai Heqing had no choice but to respond: "Think about it, I want to die, but I can't do anything. You know my situation, don't mess with me, go to sleep in the fairy court, be good."
"You know I've always been fair. I spent some time with Xianting a few days ago and neglected you. Now it's my turn to love you."
"I know, go sleep in the fairy court, be good."
"Do you hate me so much?"
"It's not that I hate it. If you hold me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it and it will scare the child."
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
"Property is nothing. If you have sense, why should I guard you at all times?"
Xie Fuha smiled.
"Still smiling, don't force me to fall out with you."
Xie Fu put his hand on her belly, which was a little bigger than when he left, and asked: "Is the baby okay?"
Tantai He felt sad: "Not good."
Xie Fu was startled: "What's wrong?"
"Don't be nervous, thanks to Sister Chu."
Tantai Heqing almost aborted the child, and Doctor Zhou had no choice but to save the child thanks to Chuyue's help.
Xie Fu was shocked to hear this. He couldn't imagine that if He Qing lost her child, he was afraid that the hurt would never heal in his lifetime.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, it's okay."
"By the way, you two and Sister Chu?"
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "I know the first thing you will do when you come back is to ask this. Don't worry, we get along very well with Sister Chu."
"Very harmonious?"
Xie Fu's voice was filled with disbelief. It would be great if they could barely get along with each other. He really didn't dare to think about getting along well.
"It's Xianting's ability that impressed Sister Chu. Sister Chu is like a block of ice when she's cold. She keeps strangers away from you. When she kisses you, she treats you like a child..."
It sounded like Xie Fu was looking forward to it: "I really want to see you get along harmoniously right now."
At this time, Xie Fu's stomach growled.
Tantai Heqing asked: "Are you hungry?"
"I've been traveling all day today and haven't eaten yet."
Tantai Heqing was about to get up after hearing this: "I will tell Xia'er to prepare a meal for you now."
Xie Fu said: "Don't be busy in the middle of the night."
"Then what do you do when you're hungry?"
Xie Fu chuckled: "You can feed me a few mouthfuls and I'll be fine."
"The baby hasn't been born yet, so what can I feed you?"
"Just let me enjoy my mouth."
"Death, if you think about all these things, go to Xianting to satisfy your cravings. You won't get a hair from me."
"Okay, then go to sleep."
After being quiet for a while, Tantai Heqing said: "I'm warning you, you'd better be more honest. You can talk nonsense about other things. I will really fall out with you on this matter. Don't say that you married a tough guy."
wife."
The dead man didn't respond, but the sound of deep breathing was heard.
Tantai Heqing turned around and saw that he was actually asleep.
Tantai Heqing's tense face immediately turned into a look of tenderness: "My dear husband, go to sleep."
…
There was a chattering sound under the attic, and Xie Fu woke up, but it was already late, and Tantai Heqing on the couch had disappeared.
However, Xia'er's voice came immediately: "Sir, you're awake."
"Sister Xia'er."
This call from Sister Xia Er made Xia Er feel that no matter what Xie Fu's identity became, the relationship would always be that of a relative. Seeing Xie Fu sitting up and about to get out of bed, she hurriedly said: "Young Master, please don't put your feet on the ground yet."
Xie Fu was curious: "What?"
"I'll help you catch the wind and wash away the dust."
As she spoke, Xia'er dipped a willow branch into a basin filled with pomegranate flowers and sprinkled water on Fu Xie's head and body, mumbling something while sprinkling it.
Xie Fu smiled. There are always many rituals in life. Regardless of their meaning, they often make people feel spiritually satisfied.
"Okay, you can go to the ground now."
Xie Fuxiao asked: "Sister Xia'er, what time is it now?"
"It's already time, almost noon."
"Ah, it's so late."
"Sir, please change your clothes."
"good."
Xia'er undressed Xie Fu and helped him dress.
Fu Xie heard Xia'er snickering and asked, "Sister Xia'er, what are you laughing at?"
"without."
"I'm not seeing you outside."
"Young Master smells very bad. The lady will smell it soon and will definitely call you a stinky man. I want to laugh just thinking about it."
Xie Fu smiled: "Am I a stinky man to begin with?"
"Master, that's not the case."
"Sister Xia'er, you have such a sweet mouth."
Xia Er chuckled and said, "Young master's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." As he said this, he washed Xie Fu's face with clean water.
Xie Fu heard the chattering and voices of women talking downstairs, and asked: "Where is that downstairs?"
"Everyone is waiting for you to get up. The lady has ordered you to eat first and then take a shower."
After getting down from the attic and entering the side hall, Xia'er greeted in advance: "The young master is here."
Generally speaking, Fu Xie's current status should be called "Master", but they still call Tantai Heqing "Miss", and for the sake of contrast, they simply call Fu "Master".
In addition, the young master is also used to it, but the master makes people feel strange.
The ladies in the side hall immediately stopped talking, looked over, and respectfully called in unison: "Young Master."
This chorus of calls made Xie Fu feel a bit like a harem of three thousand beauties. All the figures in red and green were the maids of the inner house, including Xiu'er and Xiaoqiu.
Either I haven't seen him in a few days, or perhaps Xie Fu's status is already high. He is the master of Tantai Mansion, and he is also a high-ranking second-grade official.
Xie Fu relaxed the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Sisters!"
These three words did not have the effect of relaxing the atmosphere. On the contrary, Jun Jun had a weird look on his face and became cold.
Xie Fu changed his words and said: "Little ladies."
The tone was quite teasing. Many of the maidservants blushed when Fu Xie called her. However, Xiao Qiu blushed and dared not speak out. The last time she was spanked by Fu Xie, she was afraid of the spanking.
"Xiaoqiu, are you unhappy?"
Xiaoqiu was unhappy. Just when she was about to speak, she suppressed her words and said, "No, sir."
"Then why are you keeping a straight face? Can you smile?"
Xiaoqiu was stunned when she heard this, and said with a stiff face: "I can't laugh."
"Oh, you can't laugh. Does that mean you're unhappy that I'm back?"
Someone next to him covered his mouth and began to snicker. Xie Fu asked Xia'er, "Is this considered disrespectful?"
Xia'er didn't respond, but blinked at Xie Fu, "Last time, Master, you punished her in public, and she couldn't lose her face. That's how she is. Master, please be more patient."
Xie Fu said seriously: "Even those generals, governors, and princes didn't dare to look down upon me when they saw me. Xiaoqiu, give me a look. Let me ask you, where did your courage come from?"
